To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Joshua Engelbrecht, Planning Intern & Anne Russett, Senior Planner
Re: Designation of 2525 Highlander Place as an Iowa City Historic Landmark
(REZ20-0014)
Background
The owners, Highlander Hotel, LLC, submitted a rezoning application requesting that the property
at 2525 Highlander Place be designated as an Iowa City Historic Landmark. The Highlander
Supper Club was built in 1967 and the convention center, a part of the original concept, was
added in 1973. The building incorporates modern construction materials such as light steel and
large expanses of glass. The design of the entry includes thin columns supporting a heavy
canopy. All features embody the late 1960s design aesthetic. The Supper Club and convention
center are also examples of 1960s design tied to consumerism and the middle-class culture of
recreation and vehicular travel.
Landmark designation for 2525 Highlander Place, a property in a Highway Commercial (CH -1)
zone, will require Historic Preservation Commission approval of any significant changes to the
exterior of the building. Landmark status will also make the property eligible for special
exceptions (Section 14-2B-8 of the zoning code) that allow the Board of Adjustment to waive or
modify certain zoning requirements to help support the continued use of historic buildings.
Landmark designation will also make it possible for financial incentives such as tax credits and
the Iowa City Historic Preservation Fund to be available.
Historic Preservation Commission Review
The Historic Preservation Commission met on January 14, 2021 and conducted a public hearing
at which they reviewed and evaluated the historic significance of 2525 Highlander Place. The
Commission determined that the property meets the requirements for a landmark and voted
unanimously to recommend approval of the designation of 2525 Highlander Place as an Iowa
City Historic Landmark. The building is significant to Iowa City's history, architecture, and
culture; integrity of location and design; associated with events that have contributed to Iowa
City's history; and embodiment of distinctive characteristics. Additional details are provided in
Attachment 2.
Planning and Zoning Commission Review
Local landmark designation is a zoning overlay and therefore requires a recommendation from
the Planning and Zoning Commission to the City Council. The Commission's role is to review
the proposed designation based on its relation to the Comprehensive Plan and proposed public
improvements and plans for renewal of the area involved.
2525 Highlander Place is located in the northeast corner of the 1-80 and Highway 1 intersection
within the North Corridor District of Iowa City, which does not currently have its own adopted
district plan. The IC2030 comprehensive plan includes economic development goals related to
encouraging the retention and expansion of existing businesses (pg. 31) and improving the
environmental and economic health of the community through efficient use of resources (pgs.
33-34).
January 15, 2021
Page 2
The Historic Preservation element of the comprehensive plan includes Goal 1: Identify historic
resources significant to Iowa City's Past. Under this goal the Commission is charged with
continuing to research and evaluate properties and to pursue local landmark designation when
appropriate (pgs. 31-33).
The proposed landmark designation conforms with the goals of the comprehensive plan to
encourage the retention of businesses and does so through the efficient use of resources by
ensuring that an existing structure is re -used. The landmark designation also identifies a historic
resource that is not currently protected by landmark designation.
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of REZ20-0014, an application to designate 2525 Highlander Place
as an Iowa City Historic Landmark and rezone from Highway Commercial (CH -1) to CH -1 with a
Historic District Overlay (OHD/CH-1).

Memorandum
Date: January 7, 2021
To: Historic Preservation Commission
From: Jessica Bristow, Historic Preservation Planner
Re: 2525 Highlander Place, Highlander Supper Club and Convention Center
The applicant, property owner Angela Harrington, has requested that the property at 2525
Highlander Place be designated as an Iowa City Historic Landmark. Designation of the property
as an Iowa City Historic Landmark will require Commission approval of any significant changes
to the exterior of the building. Landmark status will also make the property eligible for special
exceptions that would allow the Board of Adjustment to waive or modify certain zoning
requirements and for State Tax Credit funding of rehabilitation work.
As described in the attached Site Inventory Form, the Highlander Supper Club was built in 1967
and the convention center, a part of the original concept, was added in 1973. The original
Supper Club is a single -story building to the west end of the complex. The Convention Center
addition includes the central section with ballroom, two wings of rooms to the east and the pool
and courtyard between them. The brown brick -clad Supper Club features a mansard cornice
and stone entry wall. Four steel columns that were original canopy supports also remain. The
Convention Center addition is clad in similar brick with a heavy cornice band and a rhythm of
large glass sections separated by brick pilasters. The lobby vestibule is clad in the same stone
as the entry wall on the earlier Supper Club. The hotel wings have a similar treatment with the
lower portion of the wall also clad in brick and the pattern encompassing two stories. The
original windows have been replaced. The pool addition has an operable glass wall opening on
to a grass courtyard between the hotel wings. A two-story cafe and penthouse open onto the
west end of the pool area as do some of the hotel rooms.
This site inventory form evaluates the property according to the National Register criteria as
required by the state. Since this property includes the Convention Center as a contributing
portion of the building, and it is less than 50 years old, Criteria Consideration G, for properties
less than 50 years old, is included in the discussion of the building's significance. The
justification outlined is that the Convention Center was part of the original development project
and while it was not built at the same time, it was built soon after. The Convention Center was a
necessary addition to continue the viability of the supper club business and was designed to
work with the original design. While the local landmark process does not include similar Criteria
Considerations, this discussion provides appropriate documentation for the Commission to
consider the eligibility of the building as a whole instead of excluding the Convention Center.
Iowa City
Historic Preservation Commission
City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240
The Commission should determine if the property meets criterion A. and B. and at least one of
the criteria C., D., E., or F. for local designation listed below:
a. Significant to American and/or Iowa City history, architecture, archaeology and culture;
b. Possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship;
c. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns
of our history;
d. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past;
e. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction;
or represents the work of a master; or possesses high artistic values; or represents a
significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual
distinction;
f. Has yielded or may likely yield information important in prehistory or history.
The Site Inventory Form summarizes the cultural importance of the supper club to the Iowa City
community and the University of Iowa. These relationships illustrate the importance of the super
club in our culture's recent history. While there have been changes, primarily to the interior
finishes, much of the exterior maintains its architectural integrity either visibly or beneath recent
alterations which can be reversed. For these reasons, staff finds that this building meets criteria
A and B for local landmark designation.
The detailed discussion of the development project that resulted in the construction of the
Supper Club and the later addition are an example of the inventiveness of late 1960s design
and engineering tied to consumerism and the mid -west, middle-class culture of recreation and
vehicular travel. Because of this part of the building's complex history, staff finds that it meets
criteria C for local landmark designation.
In addition, the use of modern construction materials such as light steel and haydite block, with
large expanses of glass, and the entry design of thin columns supporting a heavy canopy all
combine to embody the late 1960s design aesthetic. While the west canopy is missing (except
for the columns) and the south canopy is obscured beneath modern materials, the changes
could be reversed. Interior construction innovations such as the Glu -Lam timbers in the Supper
Club and the early enclosed pool remain intact. Because of the integrity of the contemporary
design innovations, staff finds that the building meets criteria E for local landmark designation.
Based on the information provided in the Site Inventory Form, staff finds that the property meets
criteria A, B, C, and E and therefore qualifies as an Iowa City Historic Landmark.
Recommended Motion:
Move to approve the designation of 2525 Highlander Place (Highlander Supper Club and
Convention Center) as an Iowa City Historic Landmark based on the following criteria for local
designation: criteria A, B, C, and E.

Highland Inn Continuation Pages
Description:
The Highlander Inn is a substantial motel complex that is located at the intersection of State Highway #1
with Interstate 80, just northeast of Iowa City proper. The building is centered on a nine -acre level site in the
northeast corner of that intersection and consists of a mix of one and two-story steel and concrete construction.
The original supper club component with a half -basement, occupies the west one-third of the plan, while the
more substantial motel addition, consisting of lower -profile ball room, meeting rooms, hallways and support
areas with an east end pair of two-story motel rooms is to the east. The wings frame an open-plan enclosed pool
area on the west end. The building exterior is brick veneered. The supper club component has a mansard
cornice and a stone -faced west entry with remnant portico columns. The current south entrance features an
oversized square -cut portico entrance. Paved parking surrounds the building to the north west and south. The
courtyard and the property to the east of it are grassed.

Figure 7-1: Johnson County Assessor's property sketch, 2020
Figure 1 depicts the building layout and scale. The extreme western section (83 feet by 105 feet) is the
original supper club and its southern plan half is the only basement area (housing one large meeting room,
mechanicals and a kitchen area that links upstairs via a dumb waiter). The rest of the building comprises the
motel addition. The easternmost portions (BLDG 1 and 2 and ADDN 1) are two stories in height. ADDN 1
contains the pool/court and a two-story west end office area, now a kitchen on the first floor. All of the motel
rooms are contained within the twin east wings. The inner rooms of west portions of each of these wings are
contained within the pool/courtyard.
The exterior building profile is both elongated and low-level in appearance despite the two-story wings.
Much of the west half of the building exterior is un -fenestrated and this is particularly the case along the
northwest back of the building where kitchens and other support spaces are set opposite the exterior walls. This
exterior is wood surfaced. The motel expanses have the expected unbroken cadence of window bands on both
floor levels. The only interruption is corner and mid -point exit/entrances. There are two architectural entrance
1
points. The current south entrance consists of a rather blocky portico with substantial -appearing square -cut
brick column supports. Here the building exterior is fully glassed on both sides of the entry. The west end
entrance, no longer in use has lost its portico but retains its four support columns and its patio surface and what
was the original entrance, which is stone -veneered. The east motel end walls are un -fenestrated save for hall
windows on each level that are centered on the plan. Within the courtyard, the interior walls of the two wings
are banded with window openings on the upper floor, and have paired doors and side windows below. Each
room bay front is recessed slightly behind pilasters and an overhanging roof. The east pool/court wall is mostly
glass, consisting of operable end overhead doors and two mid -wall inoperable overhead door sections. The
building roof profile is rather complex apart from the differing floor levels. Most notably the south entrance, a
central hall and the main ball room area have an elevated roof level as does the core of the former west -end
supper club. The pool/court roof level is higher than the motel wings.
Figure 7-2: Rooftop view of the building looking north (Johnson County Assessor, 2020)
(note that the west canopy beams are still in place, pergola -like)
Inside, the building layout is both rather straight forward but in some support areas it is a virtual
labyrinth of support areas. Figure 7-3 is a largely current summation of the major rom arrangement. All of the
kitchen areas are located in the north part of the west end of the plan and this includes space in the basement.
The ballroom is the very large area that is north of the south entrance. There is a central hall that is flanked by
offices and restrooms (to the east). There is an elongated open plan area in the southeast corner of the west end
of the plan. Offices to the east of the south entrance now consist of a small lobby and one office on the east end
(the west wall is inscribed with notable guests and entertainers there since 1974). The pool/court is the large
rectangle to the right of plan center. The courtyard is to the east of it.

Figure 7-3: Building thumbprint plan (Building plans)
The structural system is that of thin (four -inch thick) concrete block walls and webbed steel trusses with
galvanized steel roofing. The motel wings are roofed using pre -cast concrete slabs (see construction photos,
Section 8) All interior ceilings are steel joist framed and perimeter walls are of concrete block construction with
exterior brick veneer.
Figures 7-4, 7-5: Images showing the ceiling truss system and roofing, 1990 images (Owner scrapbook)
The motel rooms are all identical in plan with corner bathrooms set against the halls and paired as shown
in Figure 7-3. Some rooms have connective interior doors. Pool/court units have side doors on the ground floor
while upper level rooms have doors that lead out to a balcony.

Figure 7-6: Dance floor supper club space, looking north (Owner scrapbook)
The building material of special interest in the former supper club area is the use of "Glu -Lam" timbers
to frame the higher ceiling. All of the heavy structure of the 1966 original building used composite beams but
the ceiling open trusses allowed for the open headroom depicted in Figure 7-6. Still in use today, Douglas Fir is
a preferred wood type. Haydite block, a light -weight alternative to concrete block, was used in the walls of the
original building at least.

The motel addition used Travertine stone to cover the sides of the lobby vestibule and the same stone
was observed used as a cladding for the south portico. The current portico might retain this material beneath its
existing EFIS covering.
Alterations:
The alteration history of this building is a complex one given its enlargement and repurposing over time.
At the same time, a multi -use building of this type is particularly prone to continual cosmetic make -overs
necessary to curry public favor. For this building, the successive re -branding by three national motel chains
translated into substantial make -overs. The latter changes have occurred at such a scale as to substantially
reduce the chances of retained original finishes and in some instances original room layouts. The integrity
section will treat this matter but the bottom line is that integrity will reside largely in the building exterior,
massing, exterior and structural materials and systems and in the more monumental interior spaces.
The original supper club had three uniquely designed dining rooms and a Banquet Room, Party Room
and a cocktail lounge. The convention center added a dining room, the ballroom, a poolside lounge and
contained meeting rooms that could suit parties of five to two hundred. The ballroom could serve 750 to 900 in
banquet or theater style.

Integrity Evaluation:
The historical integrity of this building is predominantly expressed by the building massing and exterior
brickwork and its entrances. Given the ever -evolving nature of its interior main room remodeling's, the same is
true of its key surviving components, the pool area and motel wings, the ballroom, the original supper club
space, the basement Garden Room, the main hallway, south main hall, and the kitchen areas.
Its integrity of location is strong given not been moved and it retains the commercial aspects of its site.
Integrity of design is good, the original exterior design remaining intact and visually accessible. The
original supper club exterior is very much intact, having lost only its wood shingle mansard cladding and the
roof portion of its original portico (the four columns curiously survive). The south portico survives though
altered in its lower massing but the overall building lines and massing survive. Exterior brickwork and the
fenestration patterns on the motel wings survive although the windows have been replaced with inappropriate
multi -paned lights.
Integrity of setting is strong with the retention of oversized paved parking in three directions and the
retention of a mixed retail/office commercial mix of buildings to the east, north and west. The physical
proximity of the interstate highway and state highway is retained although tree growth now substantially
obscures what was an open exposure.
Integrity of materials is good, with the exterior brickwork and mortar being very well preserved, as are
the structural components of the whole complex. The original concrete pool survives as does much of the 1973
pool area wall treatment. The more substantial losses are the motel wing windows and the original reception
desk.
Integrity of workmanship is good, the most visible examples being the brickwork, the supper club
ceiling beams, pool, and the building's structural system.
Integrity of feeling is strong given the retention of the building massing, roof lines, points of entry, and
key interior spaces (kitchens, pool area, ballroom, halls, motel wings, supper club interior, basement Garden
Room).
Integrity of association is good to moderate. A former guest or employee could readily find the
building, see it as recognizable in its current appearance and find the same feel relative to adjacent properties,
and open ground.

Historical Significance Evaluation and Recommendation:
The Highlander Supper Club and its later iterations is individually eligible for the National Register of
Historic Places on the local level. It is architecturally significant (Criterion C) as a well-preserved example of
its type, the post -World War II supper club. The original building represented the architectural zenith of the
building type inasmuch as this was a purpose-built club having a unified theme throughout its history. Its
design employed state-of-the-art building materials to realize the vision of its developers. Haydite block was
used as a thinner and lighter wall block. Glu -lam beams were used to form the supper club raised roof and
Behlen steel was used to achieve the necessary clear spans across the plan. The motel expansion employed one
of the earliest enclosed pools. It is historically significant for its long-term successful operation as an interstate
highway -based supper club that combined substantial local community support (including sustained
associations with the University of Iowa sports programs) with serving as an area entertainment venue. The
period of significance is 1967-1973 with the key dates of 1968 and 1973.
The supper club and its expanded convention center and motel facilities represented the completion of
the original vision of its founders. The added capacity allowed the supper club to survive for decades and made
possible a scale of operations that similarly made the business a success as well as a local and regional
destination point. The post -expansion history lies outside of the period of significance but it is a testament to
the public memory of the Highlander. The convention center -motel -supper club became "one of the most
popular venues in the state for meetings, conferences, weddings and just dining out." For 30 years it hosted the
University of Iowa I -Club pre -football home game breakfast events and it was an entertainment venue for a
broad range of notable singers. It developed a cooperative working relationship with the nearby Herbert
Hoover National Historic Site at West Branch. A three-day series of seminars were held there in early August
1974 as "the Presidency of Herbert Hoover" involving 14 sponsoring colleges and universities. Former
president, Gerald Ford participated in a reception in October 1989 as part of another seminar "The Public Life
of Former Presidents: Personal Reflections" held at the historic site. An office wall in the motel office was
dedicated to serving as a signatory space for notable entertainers, sports figures (primarily golfers) and other
luminaries.'
Figure 8-1 summarizes the reaction of locating a supper club a good distance from anywhere, out in the
boonies so to speak. Even proximity to the interstate highway was yet to be seen as a locational advantage.
Most early supper clubs were rurally located, some distance from yet in proximity to an urban center. Robert
McGurk obviously saw what others, even his banker did not, that the finished club/convention center would
become a draw in its own right. It would also drive commercial development at the highway intersection in the
long term, and that development would provide additional customers to his business. As will be seen, the final
pool design was long in coming and a number of alternatives were explored, both inside and outside. Finally, it
was decided to build the existing pool complex, doubling what became the pool lounge single -story building
and incorporating it into the pool structural system.

Boondocks No Problem If There's a Pool
IOWA CITY. Iowa — The second greatest
move Bob McGurk ever made was the in-
stallation of a 48' x 30' enclosed pool in his
motel complex located just outside this city. It
is, he says. the major attraction of the motel -
supper club -bar he and his partners built near-
ly eight years ago. People come from miles
away. he adds, just to swim and spend a
weekend there.
But what's the greatest move McGurk ever
made? Well, he'll readily tell anyone that in
spite of admonitions against the motel's loca-
tion — one in particular corning from a local
banker — he and his partners, Dean Jones and
John Stevens. decided to build their 96 -room
motel complex practically in the middle of
nowhere. The banker said they had all Iost
their marbles building it "out in the boon-
docks."
But eight years later, the Highlander Inn
and Supper Club draws business and people
from as far away as 50 to 60 miles regularly.
and occassionaily even farther. from
neighboring states. There are no major in-
dustries in the area, but McGurk claims the
nearby university is, for them, one of the big-
gest and best industries around because of its
one and two-day seminars which attract
30,000 people annually. And too, he says, the
Veterans Hospital also brings in regular vis-
itors to his part of the Iowa countryside.
The motel, supper club and bar, of course.
have all the amenities and trappings, but it's
the indoor pool between the two parallel com-
plexes of back-to-back rooms that he and his
partners are so proud of.
Originally, the pool complex was to be fair-
ly small and located at the far end of the
courtyard between the motel wings. But in
consulting with pool contractor Max Selzer,
McGurk felt that guest access and comfort
were uppermost, so he decided on a larger in-
door complex.
Because of its light weight and ability to
handle high humidity, a Behlen Dubl-Pani
roof system was used to house the pool. This
90' x 90' enclosure, McGurk says, has few en-
vironmental problems it can't handle. "Even
heating it has been absolutely no problem."
Inside the facility is the 4S' x 30' pool sur-
rounded by patio furniture resting on
Astroturf alongside the pool. In addition, the
complex houses a whirlpool, sauna, exercise
room and poo]side cocktail lounge,.
The easy passage from the bar to the pool to
the outdoors, McGurk says, is the primary
reason a local celebrity golf tournament com-
mittee chose his motel for their recent event.
Another weekend in December of last year,
he recalls, the motel was filled with people
who had come to spend the weekend because.
of the enclosed pool. "So our occupancy rate
this past winter, as far as weekends go, was
100%, whereas I'd have been dead — totally
dead — without that pool."
McGurk feels that his success may indicate
a trend toward his type of motel complex
looted on interstate highways in countryside
areas. "You're going to find more and more of
it," he says. citing general ease of access and
parking facilities as reasons.
Of his own motel, he observes families com-
ing in as late as Sunday, staying the day and
night, then returning to work and school the
next day. Others, like salesmen. return to the
Highlander with their families for weekends.
"That pool enclosure is going to be- our
bread and butter," McG urk says.
Figure 8-1: An all -season enclosed pool is the saving factor
(Pool News, January 20, 1975)
Figure 8-2 explains how the contractor solved the problem of designing an enclosed pool complex that
didn't chlorinate the adjacent motel rooms or melt hairdos with a constant high humidity. The pool structural
system, consisting of two steel deck levels separated by four feet, allowed for the installation of HVAC
equipment between the roof levels to solve those problems. That same structural system, absent the dual -level
component, allowed for the creation of the immense clear span ballroom and other major open areas within the
convention center plan. With the exception of the ballroom, these spaces could be readily altered with demising
walls and ornamental features as the spatial needs changed.2
2 The Behlen Construction Company, Columbus, Nebraska, first used its double -panel roofing system in October 1959 and
trademarked it on July 11, 1961, renewing the registration in 1981. The "dubl pant" trademark continues in use today and can safely

"We opened the morel lost September," soys Roberr
"Bob" McGurk, President of rhe Highlander Supper Club
and Morel. "The second Saturday and Sunday in De-
cember we were royally full. Guests were from Cedar
Rapids, Iowa Ciry, Tipton, Davenport—all here because
of rhe enclosed pool.
"Our occupancy rate on weekends last winter was about
100 percent, where we'd hove been dead without rhe
pool. It's going ro be our bread and butter,"
McGurk starred rhe supper club with Dean Jones and
John R. Stephens, in 1967. Six years later rhe motel was
added, with a Oehlen Dubl-Pont roof 90 -odd ft square
over rhe courryord between rwo morel wings. Here in
12 -months summer is a lawn of Astro turf with o pool
30' x 48'.
"We were in o motor morel in Chicago, and my wife
walked by the pool and her hairdo fell down. So I said,
'How con we build something that won't hove all this
humidity and chlorine smell?'
"Max Selzer here of Selzer Constr. Co. said. 'Let's give it o steel
roof, come down 4 feer and put In a steel deck or ceiling.' So
with plenty of oir handling units in the roof system, we have no
problem.
"We hove tremendous insulorion, too, sprayed -on under the

so rhe hearing problem is negligible."

"Now that we've added rhe morel, we're going ro hove a new

Figure 8-3: Highland Supper Club location (Building plans)
M. Dean Jones (1909-2004) was a landowner whose holdings included much of a developing interstate
highway interchange (21.8 acres) that was located just outside of the built-up northeast portion of Iowa City, the
county seat of Johnson County. The site was outside of the city when the supper club was built, and it was
zoned as residential land when the city annexed it. The inn was grandfathered as a pre-existing "non-
conforming use." A commercial rezoning request wasn't apparently needed until the operation was expanded to
include a motel in 1972. John M. Stevens and Jones partnered in the idea of building a restaurant -supper club
and they needed a partner -manager so they recruited John J. "Bob" McGurk (1936-1988). McGurk was
involved with operating the Lark Supper Club at Tiffin, in Cedar County, located west of Iowa City, also on
Interstate 80. His expertise was actually in bar management and he had co -owned Ted's Happy Time bar in the
early 1950's in Cedar Rapids prior to his moving to the Tiffin club.3
Supper clubs were the domain of the successful middle class. Akin to private clubs it is noteworthy that
the design for the new supper club allowed for no exterior windows. It was a closeted sanctuary. The
Highlander also combined prominence with locational privacy. While placed on a visible plateau from the
highway and interstate perspective, it was reached by means of a fairly long winding private road. So, it very
much resembled a private club siting and architecture. The club entrance did orient west (slightly northwest)
towards its highway access and it was positioned on the west end of a slightly raised plateau (Figure 8-3).
The initial branding also bespoke both tradition and respectability. The original name was the Black
Watch Supper Club., a name that honored the military legacy of a noted Scottish infantry regiment. This name
was never publicly promulgated beyond the design table of the first architectural drawings and it was finally
replaced with the Highlander name. Sheila Ann McGurk Boyd recalled:
I don't believe either Jones or Stevens had any Scottish roots, but the agreement for dad to come
to be a part of the plan was struck on the golf course. All three had a love for golf, so I believe
that's where the Scottish theme started. The Black Watch was a tartan plaid I think what
Iowa City Press Citizen, January 10, 1972; Email, Sheila Boyd to James Jacobsen, September 8, 2020. Ellen Dean played a key role in
the interior design and designed a waitress uniform that included a tartan sash with broach and a special hat.

something they liked so there came the name. However, the 60's unrest it was decided that that
name might be offensive to some, so it changed. The story goes that the land where the supper
club was being built was on "high land" and that too was a tartan plaid, so the name was
changed.
The Black Watch is a basic tartan mix of grouped squares and intersecting lines (akin to a downtown
streetscape) that comes in a range of color combinations but greens and blues are the most common.4
Figure 8-4: An example of the Black Watch tartan pattern
The developing concept dated back to as early as October 1964 when Iowa City architects Hansen & Lind
designed a series of conceptual schemes for a complex that closely envisioned the completed supper club and
motel -convention center. Figure 8-5 was labeled "Scheme #6." It is curious that this plan was the only
survivor. It envisioned a north -fronting facility with a series of individual buildings, one of which was labeled
administration. The pool(s) were outside, in a courtyard having motel wings on three sides.

Hansen, Lind and Meyer designed a restaurant and motel for the Central Development Corporation,
presumably the original corporate entity for the Iowa City partners. The undated plans envisioned most of the
fundamental core concepts of what was finally built. At the same time the plan differed considerably, lacking a
supper club, having a northwest corner canopy entry, and minimal basement space and a layout with varied
floor levels based on the site. What was clearly retained in the final plan were the basic supper club exterior
and massing, the west canopy, the basic courtyard with flanking motel room wings and even an enclosed pool.
Overall, the first design was a very contemporary one, complete with a bar fireplace and chimney. The partners
were Richard Fred Hansen (1932-?), John Howard Lind (1932-?) and Carl Donald Meyer (1932-2004). Meyer
joined the partnership in 1963 and his name gets included on the actual plans.5

The south elevation at the top in Figure 8-7 shows the supper club (west half of the perspective) with its
mansard cornice treatment and west canopy and entry. The original plan, also veneered in brick, used pilasters
to break up the exterior wall plane and used some sort of vertical interruption (open gutters?) across the
mansard cornice. The south wall was much more glassed. Note the changes in floor elevation going west to
east. The motel wing fenestration differed with full-length ground level windows and broad spandrels.

Figure 8-9 shows the elongated courtyard and its enclosure on three sides with motel wings. This
element was built and a variety of designs were developed relative to what form the east end of the courtyard
would assume. This was never resolved. The original plan made no place for a banquet hall and when the
broader convention center was adopted, the pool location was deflected elsewhere as will be seen.
The original plan can be said to have broadly defined what the actual supper club and finally the rest of
the facility would look like. In some manner, the original architects dropped out of the project and a very
obscure local designer took over.

David C. Moore is not identified as an architect per se. He does not appear in the American Institute of
Architects directories and is not otherwise documented for any other original work. The sole found reference to
him dates to late 1971 when he redesigned the interior of the Ming Garden Chinese Restaurant in Coralville as
the David C. Moore Design Center (aka "Waterfall Construction"). Moore also documented his role in his
sketch for the new supper club, a framed copy of which is on display at the Highlander.

As Figure 8-11 shows, the blank brick walls of the club were festooned with angled gas -lights, as was
the approach lane from the west. This feature was lost in the summer of 1980 (or some of the lamps were
electrified) when a federal law forbade gas -powered outdoor lighting due to a gas shortage.6

The feature of interest in the original basement was an interior rock garden at the base of the east steps.
Figure 8-15: Original supper club first floor plan, 1966 (Building plans)
The seven Glu -Lam girders were placed west to east across the west center section of the supper club.
The lounge was centered along the south wall and a "party room" in the southeast corner. A rounded coffee
shop was in the northeast corner and its arched wing explains why the east side of the original supper club had
this curved wall (still extant).
The role of the supper club as a national entertainment venue and a preferred event venue for University
of Iowa sports and other related events post-dated the original building. McGurk daughter Sheila Boyd recalls:
I think it was primarily after the motel with banquet space was built... The I -Club breakfasts and
many large functions put on by the university came to the Highlander because we had one of the
largest banquet spaces in town, with the exception of the Iowa Memorial Union and parking was
always an issue there. Seriously, bragging a bit, we were very good at hosting large groups, both
in service and quality of food.
This also explains why the developers didn't simply acquire and expand an existing area supper club. That
option, lacking room for expansion, fell short of the long-term scale that was envisioned.'

Sheila Boyd also recalled at what point the "super club" function ceased. She stated "I believe that the
type of supper club dining was losing favor with the public in the mid 80's. In the early 80's we still had small
trio play on the lounge and people would eat as late 10 pm. We kept the menu, and as much of the ambiance
until the late 90's."9

Figure 8-21 offers the most detailed view of what the club facade, roofline and portico looked like. Of
special interest is the row of presumed transom windows that would have lit the club interior with evening light.
The other key feature is the relatively light structure of the portico. Its reversed mansard sidewalls would have
captured snow and rain.
Highlander Partnership leased the motel from Highlander, Inc., paying $40,000 in rent and half of the
pre-tax supper club income. The tenants paid taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. The initial ten-year lease
expired on May 15, 1977 and had renewal options (ten years, two five-year terms). Highlander Partnership was
relatively debt -free but Highlander, Inc. owed $260,000, with the supper club as collateral for $160,000 of that
amount. The 1970 Highland Partnership financial report contained a few references of interest. Hail damage in
1969 cost $769. Operating costs included those of a private well and sign rental.12

100 -unit motel would feature color television, twin queen -sized beds and in -room heating and cooling units.
Meeting rooms, banquet and ball rooms would have an upper capacity of 590 attendees. Additional kitchen
space, a courtyard cocktail lounge, piano bar and a coffee shop were planned. What turned out to be the
"dynamic" aspect of the plan was the pool location and the motel wing design itself. The early concepts
envisioned a combination of an enclosed pool, a wading pool, a hydrotherapy pool and a sauna room. Figure 8-
7 depicts one early design, with a U-shaped motel section on the east end and the pool components being
housed inside the east end of the open court area. Other plan variations omitted the easternmost two-story
section and connected the two wings with a pagoda -like pool enclosure. In the end, the existing building was
erected with the pool "court" being located across the west half of the court, and the court itself left open to the
east, in anticipation of future additions. The promised 100 -room count finally did transpire, reduced by just
four units.13
The business expansion mandated a new corporate structure having the three original partners as its
directors. Titled Highlander Inn, Inc. the new corporation dated from September 29, 1972 and offered 10,000
$100.00 shares to investors.14
Figures 8-22, 8-23: Two east end motel designs, fall 1970
A remarkable range of convention center/motel designs were devised, in at least three serious alternative
concepts. That reflected in Figure 8-24 was certainly the most unconventional with its twin east "towers" with
pie -shaped rooms (somewhat reflective of the then -popular open-plan classrooms.
13 Iowa City Press Citizen, January 10, 1972
14 Iowa City Press Citizen, October 27, 1972. The 1970 financial report however noted that20,000 shares at $100 per share were
authorized, but just 60 shares had been issued. The new corporation presumably planned to improve on that.

These two plans replaced the west supper club entrance and focus with dual monumental entrances.
Figure 8-26 angled off of the original supper club and in both plans, the club was simply appended to in
awkward fashion. Note that both plans alternated the motel room entrances as did Figure 8-27.

The angled plan (Figure 8-26) must have been seriously considered since the architects also did the
sketch (Figure 8-27).

The Figure 8-28 alternative dropped the north entry, shortened the courtyard, added a triangular bar and

The plan envisioned in Figure 8-29 closely approximated the one that was finally built. The pool was in
the plan. Mid -point halls and stairs were in the motel wings. The ballroom gravitated north (although there was
a minor north -side entry) and overall, the addition was better integrated with the supper club. The south canopy
was not a porte cochere and notice how the south motel wing projected south so as to extend beyond it.

Figure 8-30 shows a near -final variation of early plan options with a pool pagoda and a triangular bar
inset into the east courtyard. The image nicely distinguishes the supper club proper from the addition and
shows the core plan and roof profile as actually built.
The Architects, Drew McNamara and Associates:
Having a proven track record for hiring obscure designers [Richard] Drew McNamara and Associates,
not architects, of Iowa City, were selected to design the convention center -motel addition. McNamara was born
in Washington, Iowa in 1918, the son of Jay J. and Edna S. Dempsey McNamara. His family relocated to Iowa
City in 1824 and acquired the White Furniture Company. Drew studied at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts
and spent a summer working with Peter Visser (1892-1979) said at the time to be "an internationally known
Chicago designer." Drew headed the family's design department and his first major job was designing a
"sleepshop" model for the national Burton Dixie Mattress Company. He founded McNamara's Homemakers
House Cedar Rapids by 1948 and had branches in Iowa City and by 1950, but was already working on a
regional basis by then as Figure 8-31 shows (and with a sizeable workforce). "Drew McNamara and
Associates" was also established at this same time.16
16 No other "associates" are identified but his wife, Catherine Marie McNamara (1918-1974) is said to have served as his assistant
(Des Moines Register, January 25, 1992). Marion Sentinel, January 29, 1948

(Iowa City Press Citizen, October 1, 1935)
McNamara relocated from Cedar Rapids to Iowa City in 1950 and then moved to Des Moines in 1974.
The Des Moines newspapers of the 1950's though clearly show him as moving in the higher social circles and
enjoying a dominant reputation as an interior designer. He was designing interiors for dance studios,
residences, restaurants, theaters (the Capital in Iowa City) business buildings and motels. His most prestigious
interior work was his role as a consultant to the architect of the new Des Moines Airport terminal in 1951,
where he also secured the contracts for most of the interior design work. By 1953 he was edging into exterior
design and whole -building design work. He transformed a former tourist camp in East Des Moines into a
modern motel and it received a "motel of the month" award from United Courts Magazine. He designed an
26
entire hotel for John Compiano in Des Moines in 1962 and a "Mount Vernon -like" addition for the J and K
Motel there in 1964. Parkway Inns of Des Moines had him design the interior (including a pool room and
banquet hall) for their new Beaumont Motor Inn in Green Bay, Wisconsin, in 1965. McNamara designed the
interior and exterior for Babe's Restaurant in Des Moines in 1966. His known whole building design work
dates from 1956 with a 24 -building Lake Okoboji resort in Dickinson County. The University Athletic Club
(1958) was loosely evocative of his Highlander design, more in its complex interior. It was a split-level layout
that combined private club rooms, basement locker rooms, three dining rooms and a large banquet room with an
outside pool."

Figure 8-34: Williams, McWilliams and Hart law offices, 2130 Grand Avenue, Des Moines (looking southwest)
(Des Moines Register, January 4, 1970)
What appears to be the zenith of his whole building design work is the office building at 2130 Grand
Avenue in Des Moines (Figure 8-35). He was the architect working with structural engineers [Carlyle W.]
Peterson and [Donald W.] Appel. The 12,000 square foot plan cost $222,000 and had a white -painted brick
exterior.

18 Des Moines Tribune, July 22, 1969; Des Moines Register, January 4, 1970. The McNamara family suffered numerous major
setbacks. The family furniture store was sold for payment of debts in 1964 and Drew's companies were closely intertwined with it.
The family lost a daughter at the age of 37 in 1974 and Catherine McNamara's obituary makes no reference to her husband (Cedar
Rapids Gazette, February 20, 1964; Des Moines Register, December 4, 1974; January 25, 1982).

The Selzer Construction Company had the general construction contract. The original estimated new
construction cost was $1 million and the building permit was reported as undefined "new commercial with that
amount of value at the end of October 1972. Selzer was affiliated with both the Behlen and Chief metal
building companies and had a well-established reputation for designing and building custom metal buildings.
For the supper expansion the need was that of extensive clear span interior spaces that could remain open in
plan (the ballroom) or which could be subdivided without concern for intrusive columns or load-bearing walls.
As the building's final design was formalized, Behlen came to the rescue by making the pool enclosure
structurally possible and successful. Equipment Planners, Moline, Illinois coordinated the design and the
subcontracts with a nationally distributed range of fabricators.19

Figure 8-35: North end elevation and south end elevation sketches, 1971 (Drew McNamara and Associates)
One presumed supper club alteration was the addition of a lounge along its south wall. The architect
termed it an addition and included new south elevations showing a presumably elongated frontage. However,
the volume of the original supper club does not appear to have been enlarged (see Figure 8-37) and the south
facade as shown exactly mirrors that which is present today. No construction photos show any southward
extension. There was related interest in doing a centered bump -out with a skylight as a part of the lounge plan
but this was not done. Most likely, the lounge was constructed within the confines of the supper club footprint.
19 Iowa City Press Citizen, October 31, 1972; https://chiefbuildings.com/; http://behlenbuildingsystems.com/. Both companies
continue in business today. Behlen Building Systems is located at Columbus, Nebraska and Chief Metal Buildings is at Grand Island,
Nebraska. Drew McNamara was also a partner of the Red Carpet Ranch nightclub, located next to the Ranch Supper Club at Cou
Falls, outside of Iowa City, as of 1962-1964 (Cedar Rapids Gazette, March 24, 1964).

The complete financial records for the building addition survive and these provide important insights to
the difficulties that the builders faced and the dynamic nature of the evolving building layout.

Figures 8-38 and 8-39 underscore the unobstructed view between the interstate and the supper club. The

There were several references to "unforeseen weather" during the surveying and grading phase of work
and no construction progress photos survive from January -April 1973. Snow removal cost an impressive
$1,723. Table 2 tabulates the project costs as of the end of October 1973. Change orders and new items are
endemic to construction work. In this case, the percentage of change orders vis-a-vis the contract (Table 2) was
28 percent. The largest change order was the complete re -planning of the swimming pool and its enclosure, the
substantial repaving (all of the original parking was asphalt paved) to the north of the motel when that grade
was determined to be too high. Not included in Table 2 was the courtyard work ($9,064) accomplished by late
April 1974 which entailed substantial filling, grading and 623 square yards of four -inch thick asphalt paving
covered with green astro turf.

Figure 8-38 depicts the original supper club sign located immediately south of the supper club. The
expansion warranted a revised sign that highlighted the added lodging. Several competing advertising firms
produced a broad range of new sign concepts between March and November 1973. In late June the original
sign designer Nesper encouraged the owners to act quickly to place a taller sign alongside the interstate before a
new sign ordinance limited these to 35 feet in height. Figure 8-40 depicts the renaming from supper club to inn
and a proposed height increase from 36.5 feet to 49.33 feet. Figure 8-41 shows that the wording was changed
but that the original sign was simply relocated closer to the interstate.

The Highlander was directly associated with the Amana VIP Golf Tournament from 1974 until 1990
when it ended. Amana Refrigeration Company president George Forestner conceived of this event as a means
of company promotion. The first event was held in 1974 at White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, but the hard
to reach site was switched to the Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City the next year. The Iowa City Holiday Inn
housed the tournament through 1973 by which time it was inadequate. The timing of the Highlander expansion
was perfect and it and the adjacent Howard Johnson motel, just south across the interstate, would be completely
sold out for the event beginning in 1974. The Amana company dominated the occasion, provided gifts and at
one point constructed a temporary appliance display in the convention center. Amana sales managers were
paired with the elite golfers. The tournament was the leading funder for the University of Iowa athletic
scholarship and the largest funding source of women's collegiate sports at the university.22

The 1995 floorplan shows a largely open plan around the ballroom. The King's Garden Lounge was the
sole east -end amenity. To the west was the restaurant with its five subsections. A small sales office was at the
west end of the south motel wing. The Garden Room was in the basement level of the original supper club.
Bob McGurk died both young and unexpectedly in 1988. By this time, he had presumably bought out
his two partners and his family had increasingly become involved in running the inn -motel business. His
widow Leona was the chief operating officer, aided by three daughters, Sheila, Debbie and Mary Frances and
over time their husbands (Bill Boyd for Sheila, Mike Jensen for Fran). Formally organized as "Group Five
Hospitality" and a division of the corporation, the group established T.G.I. Friday's restaurant franchises, the
first in Rockford, Illinois in November 1992. At the same time, they acquired the Howard Johnson motel that
was located on the southwest corner of the same highway -interstate and rebranded it as a Country Inn. Two

station and store and an adjacent Express Wash. In early 1993 the group determined that they could replace The
Highlander Inn restaurant with one of their restaurants. Structural and mechanical obstacles developed and the
concept was deferred finally to 1995, and was finally dropped. The inn portico was a casualty of this planned
development, being removed while curiously retaining the four support columns.23

Figure 8-70: Planned T.G.I. Friday west end addition and other associated changes not built, August 25, 1994
(Building plans)
Figure 8-70 shows where the new restaurant was to have been built. A south banquet center entry was
also planned along with two other corner bump -outs. The poolside lounge does appear to have been converted
into a meeting room on the ground level.
The proposition provides a snapshot of the inn operation as of early 1993. The restaurant franchise was
thought to be a cut above fast food at a time when diners "no longer have the time to linger over a protracted
supper club dinner." Still called the Highlander Inn and Supper Club, it employed 140 persons and it was
promised that the T.G.Y. Friday restaurant deal would somehow add 40 to 100 additional workers. The
restaurant would seat 240 persons a figure that matched the existing supper club capacity. Traditional inn menu
favorites ("steaks, cinnamon rolls" etc.) would be retained. The other major functional change would be the
closing of the coffee shop and its conversion into additional banquet space. In November 1992 the corporation
had acquired a competing interchange and that operation had an attached Country Inn franchise (likely a model
for the new Highlander arrangement). It became a Country Inn mote1.24
An inn newsletter, the "Main Course" was initiated in March 1995 to promote special events, and even
shared recipes and inn staff news. The annual schedule was dominated by holiday -based buffets (Saint
Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving) and the late November Mercy Hospital Festival of Trees.

Families with overflow occupancy at Christmas could pay for one motel room and get an adjacent one for
free.25
Three successive national motel chains acquired, remodeled and disposed of the complex. The Radisson
franchise came first in 1997. In early 2002, SRC Investments foreclosed on the property when the owners
defaulted on $10.3 million loan debt. The operating name was "The Radisson on Highlander Plaza" and it
finally eclipsed the "Highland Inn and Convention Center" title. Quality Inn was the next franchise/tenant
followed by the Clarion in 2011. The operation was clearly rather marginal by 2016 when a carpet cleaning
company took the Clarian managers to district court to obtain payment of a $1,184 cleaning bill. A & B of
Iowa sold the property to the Posh Hotel LLC by contract with ownership taking place in August 2011. They
incurred a tax debt against the state but the title was cleared by December 2019 for a purchase by The
Bohemian Iowa City LLC.26

Figures 8-78, 8-79: Ca.1975 view of carpeted pool court (note no upper level balconies),
Tudor motif, looking northwest (owner scrapbook)
This is the original appearance of the pool court. There were no poolside balconies and there were
several ancillary pools north of the main pool. The centered component to the left housed the pool bar on the
downstairs and featured Tudor arched windows and a faux half-timber stuccoed effect, much of which survives.
A near full-length awning covered the lounge front. The deck was covered with a green astro turf. There was
also a painted shuffleboard court.
Figure 8-80, 8-81: Knight's Poolside Lounge, two views (Courtesy of Sheila Boyd)
The Knight's Lounge had the Black Watch tartan pattern and the awning with its angled spear supports
mirrored the exterior awning to the east in the pool area.

The Royal Scot was outside the original supper club (to the west of the main hall, it became the Prime
Grille). Note the carpet pattern. A hallway ran along the south wall beyond the arched windows in this view.

27 The King Arthur Grille started out as the supper club's coffee shop and was succeeded by the Mirror Room (Sheila Boyd). It has
the distinctive rounded corner wall, an original feature of the supper club east wall.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
EMMA J. HARVAT HALL
January 14, 2021
PRELIMINARY
MEMBERS PRESENT: Kevin Boyd, Carl Brown, Helen Burford, Sharon DeGraw, Cecile
Kuenzli, Lyndi Kiple, Quentin Pitzen, Jordan Sellergren, Austin Wu
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: Jessica Bristow, Anne Russett
OTHERS PRESENT: Steve Ballard, Jesse Burns, Robert Burns, James Carey, Angela
Harrington, Bruce Teague
Electronic Meeting
(Pursuant to Iowa Code section 21.8)
An electronic meeting was held because a meeting in person was impossible or impractical
due to concerns for the health and safety of Commission members, staff, and the public
presented by COVID-19.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL:
By a vote of 9-0 the Commission recommends approval of the local landmark designation for
the property at 2525 Highlander Place, the Highlander Supper Club and Convention Center
CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson Boyd called the electronic meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
utilizing Zoom.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANYTHING NOT ON THE AGENDA:
Mayor Bruce Teague said hello and gave his thanks and appreciation, on behalf of the City
Council, to all of the Commission members for the work they do and have done in the
community.
Boyd thanked Mayor Teague and the City Council for all the work they have done this past year
despite the issues and challenges that arose.
PUBLIC HEARING LOCAL LANDMARK DESIGNATION — 2525 HIGHLANDER PLACE —
HIGHLANDER SUPPER CLUB AND CONVENTION CENTER:
Bristow said that the Highlander Supper Club and Convention Center is a brick building located
on the corner of Interstate 80 and Highway 1. Bristow said that the owner had inquired about
local landmark status, and she hired a historian who completed an extensive site inventory form
for the property.
Bristow showed a photo from 1975 and identified the original supper club built in 1966 (on the
west side next to Highway 1), which had a mansard roof with original wood shingles and an
entry canopy that had since been removed but whose four columns still remain. She identified
the convention center and hotel/motel addition, which consists of a ballroom, a kitchen, offices
2
and reception, hotel wings, an interior pool area, and a courtyard between the wings. She
showed the south entry canopy, which was altered under previous hotel chain management.
Bristow showed photos of the current Supper Club and said that the exterior is mostly intact with
the exception of a few missing finishes such as the mansard shingles and the windows in the
rooms which had been replaced due to code changes. She pointed out the four remaining
columns for the West Entry Canopy and the original limestone entry wall, the entry canopy, the
hotel wing windows on the South side, and the current view of the courtyard.
Bristow said that the site inventory form text began with a description of the desire to create a
destination place along the Interstate (a Supper Club was popular in rural areas), and Hansen
and Lind, Architects, came up with a design in 1964. In an undated time period Hansen, Lind,
and Meyer, Architects came up with a full plan for the Supper Club, pool, and motel, and they
also did elevations (which is similar to what ended up being built). Bristow said that these early
iterations still had some of the same designs for the motel and architectural style. She said that
the Supper Club was not designed by that firm but was instead designed by David C Moore in
1966. Due to costs and other factors mentioned in the text, they only ended up building the
Supper Club. The hotel and convention center eventually underwent construction in 1974.
Bristow said that, since the Supper Club itself has achieved a 50 -year-old historic status, it could
be considered eligible on its own. She said that the goal is to include the convention center
addition as part of the landmark, and part of that utilizes criterion consideration G (similar to the
downtown National Register Nomination) and an investigation of whether or not the addition that
is less than 50 years old has achieved significance in the community. She said that the site
inventory form mentions that the hotel and convention center were not only a part of the original
design, but they were considered necessary for the continued viability and economic stability of
the Supper Club itself. Those two things combine to allow the convention center to be included
as part of the historic property for the local landmark designation.
Bristow said the building consisted of several innovative construction techniques like "Glu -Lam"
beams, a lightweight block, the steel structure of the roof, and an enclosed pool. Bristow
showed construction photos from 1972 as well as photos of the later Radisson changes.
Bristow said, that for a local landmark designation, the Commission should first determine if the
property meets Criteria A and B (significance to Iowa City culture/architecture and integrity) then
evaluate whether it meets Criteria C, D, E, or F, which is also what the National Park Service
would look for in a national register nomination. She said that they can really look at the Supper
Club as part of Iowa City's (middle class) culture of the late 60s and 70s, and an example of late
1960s and early 1970s architecture which makes it eligible to meet Criteria C and E.
Boyd opened and closed the public hearing.
Boyd told a personal story of how his family used to own and manage the Highlander, how he
has heard stories over the years about how much this place means to people in the Iowa City
community, and what this building means to him. He said that he believes the nomination meets
the minimum qualifications of A, B, C, and E.
Boyd stated that neither he nor his family have any financial ties to the building anymore.
Boyd re -opened the public hearing.
Robert Burns, a member of the public, said that he remembered when this building first opened
and that the Commission might also want to consider its use by the University of Iowa Athletic
Department from a cultural standpoint.

Angela Harrington, a member of the public and current owner of the Supper Club, said that she
was touched by Boyd's story and reiterated, because of the neglect and serious decline of the
property over the years, why this as a historic preservation project is so important.
Boyd closed the public hearing.
Sellergren said that she appreciated the presentation of the historic photos and that she
supports the historic preservation of the building. Wu said that he thinks it is good (and a nice
change for the Commission) to preserve a commercial building instead of focusing only on
houses. Kiple said that she echoes Wu's thoughts and supports the nomination. Burford said
that she hopes the application can be embellished with Boyd's personal history and she hopes
that they will also be able to get stories about its relationship with Amana and the UI Athletic
Department to include, as well as be able to discuss the relationship between the building and
the interstate and its importance to highway travel. Pitzen asked if anyone knew when the
interstate was built in relation to the Supper Club, and Brown said that it was constructed in
1956. Pitzen said he wanted to give a shout out to former Commissioner Thomas Agran who did
the murals in the motel.
Brown said that, like several of the other Commissioners, he also does not have the same
longstanding connections to the Highlander but that he was pleased to see the nomination show
up and after hearing so much appreciation from his extended family members, he will be
supporting the nomination. DeGraw said that her kids took swimming lessons at that pool, and
that she is excited to see something that is 1960s architecture go through the Commission. She
said that she is appreciative of Harrington's work to restore it and that she also supports the
nomination.
MOTION: DeGraw moved to approve the designation of 2525 Highlander Place —
Highlander Supper Club and Convention Center as an Iowa City historic landmark based
on the following criteria and location designation: Criteria A, B, C, and E. Kiple seconded.
The motion carried on a vote of 9-0.
NATIONAL REGISTER NOMINATION — IOWA CITY CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT:
Bristow began with a recap and said that they received a grant in 2016 to study the Downtown
District to see if there was a National Register Historic District that was eligible, and a multi -
property document was completed that stated that there was potential for a National Register
Nomination. She said that the City Council directed the Commission to move forward with
creating that nomination. As part of the National Register Nomination review process, which
they are doing again due to a clerical error on the State's part the first time around, the Historic
Preservation Commission is asked to comment on the Nomination.
Bristow said that the nomination talks about the history of the Downtown District, architectural
styles, urban renewal, resource classification, and the importance of the Pedestrian Mall in
keeping the relationship between the Downtown community and the University viable. She said
that the boundaries of the National Register Historic District are Iowa Avenue, South Clinton
Street, South Gilbert Street, and the alley between College and Burlington Street, and that the
period of significance extends from the construction of the Franklin Printing House in 1856 to
1979 when the Pedestrian Mall was completed. The nomination also discusses significant Iowa
builders and architects that were involved in the history of Downtown, its integrity, and an in-
depth discussion of pedestrian malls.
Bristow read the Commission's comment from their September nomination.

Electronic Meeting
(Pursuant to Iowa Code section 21.8)
An electronic meeting is being held because a meeting in person is impossible or impractical
due to concerns for the health and safety of Commission members, staff and the public
presented by COVID-19.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL:
By a vote of 6-0 the Commission recommends approval of REZ20-0014, an application to
designate 2525 Highlander Place as an Iowa City Historic Landmark and rezone from Highway
Commercial (CH -1) to CH -1 with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CH-1).
CALL TO ORDER:
Hensch called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
CASE NO. REZ20-0014:
Applicant: Highland Hotel, LLC
Location: 2525 Highlander Place
An application for a rezoning from Highway Commercial (CH -1) to CH -1 with a Historic District
Overlay (OHD/CH-1) to designate the property as an Iowa City Historic Landmark.
Russett began the staff report showing a map of an area of the property noting it's located at the
northeast corner North Dodge Street or Highway 1 and off 1-80. The property is currently zoned
Highway Commercial, and the overlay proposed would maintain that Highway Commercial
designation with a Historic Overlay.
Regarding background for this property, The Highlander Supper Club was built in 1967 and the
convention center was added a few years later in 1973, although it was built later it was still built
to the original design that was developed in the late 60s. The City recently received an
application from the property owner to designate this property as a landmark. Russett showed a
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 21, 2021
Page 2 of 6
few pictures of how the property looks today noting the main entrance, the entrance to the
supper club, the west entry with some of the remaining columns that still exist there, the hotel
rooms, and the courtyard and pool area. Russett showed an aerial photo from 1975 and a
photograph of the pool area in 1975 along with a brochure from 1975 that shows the thin
columns and the entry with the heavy canopy which is the original part of the design.
Russett stated again the property is zoned Highway Commercial and the request is to designate
this as a Historic District Overlay and with that designation any exterior modifications have to be
reviewed by either the City Historic Preservation Planner or the Historic Preservation
Commission. She noted when the Commission is reviewing these Historic Overlays the main
criteria to note is whether or not the request is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. This
property is in the North Corridor District, which currently does not have an adopted district plan.
However, Russett noted the Comprehensive Plan includes several goals related to economic
development and business retention and retaining and expanding existing businesses and to
also encouraging the efficient use of resources. In this case, this is a business that has been in
existence for several years and there's a new owner who wishes to improve the property.
There's already City services at the site and in addition to that, there are Historic Preservation
goals related to identifying and preserving historic resources in the community.
Russett noted the Historic Preservation Commission reviewed this application last Thursday
(January 14) and unanimously recommended approval of the landmark designation. Next steps
are after the P & Z Commission's discussion and recommendation tonight, this will go to
City Council in February for consideration.
Staff recommends approval of REZ20-0014, an application to designate 2525 Highlander Place
as an Iowa City Historic Landmark and rezone from Highway Commercial (CH -1) to CH -1 with a
Historic District Overlay (OHD/CH-1).
Hensch asked if the recommendation of the Historic Preservation Commission was unanimous
and Russett confirmed it was.
Craig asked if this is approved, does the owner have any obligation to return some of those
original features or is it just the way it is in time right now. Russett explained the owner wouldn't
be obligated to make any changes, but if they do make any changes to the exterior, it will be
subject to historic review.
Hensch opened the public hearing.
Kevin Boyd (Historic Preservation Commission) explained he is now the chair of Historic
Preservation Commission but generally someone from the Commission likes to speak on behalf
of applicants who are pursuing landmark status or other status that the Commissioner has
approved. Boyd was asked to speak tonight as Bob McGurk was his grandfather and he and
Boyd's grandmother were among the original owners of the Highlander. His parents met there,
and his uncle managed the Highlander with Boyd's grandmother after his grandfather died 1984.
Boyd assured he has no financial ties to this property, nor does anyone in his family, at this point.
Boyd noted he has heard the stories for years from folks, how they waited tables there in college,
parents got married there, had our first date there, got engaged there, met Hayden Fry at the
supper club, etc. Boyd stated just this winter he got a text from an acquaintance he went to high
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 21, 2021
Page 3 of 6
school with who was excited to take his kids swimming there just like he had as a kid. For his
entire life people would discover the familial relationship and tell him what the Highlander meant
to them. For Boyd it is where he learned what it meant to own a business. He remembers asking
his grandma if she got a parking spot right up front since she owned the place and she replied in
a way that a grandmother can firmly, but with love, that she parks in the back so the customers
can have the best spots. Boyd noted owning the Highlander meant home football weekends
were work weekends for his parents, meaning his folks will leave before he would wake up and
come home after he'd gone to sleep. He did note many dignitaries came through and he
remembers his parents telling them what it was like to meet President Ford or the other folks who
came through. Boyd recalled so many memories there, a special lunch with his grandma, pizza
making in the kitchen for his Cub Scouts, birthday parties poolside and the pool bar menu even
had a grilled cheese named after him, the Kevin Special.
Boyd was not entirely surprised this application came along, but it did require him to shift his
thinking just as other nominations have required them to shift their sense of history to more
recent times. He does believe it meets the minimum qualifications that are needed to be a
landmark, and it also preserves a place that feels like part of the community's history. While the
history of the Highlander is a little closer to home for him it also preserves that sense for others
who may have had their first job there, or those special dates, weddings, football clubs, proms,
etc. Boyd stated he sees that same entrepreneurial spirit in Angela Harrington and her family
that he saw in his grandparents and his family. Boyd showed a paperweight, a glass dome of a
bunch of pennies for 1973 the year the hotel and convention center was complete, that
paperweight sat on his grandfather's desk and he looks at it and encourages the Planning &
Zoning Commission to support this local landmark status, the history this place represents and
the owner's desire to use preservation as part of the economic success of this property.
Hensch closed the public hearing.
Craig moved to recommend approval of REZ20-0014, an application to designate 2525
Highlander Place as an Iowa City Historic Landmark and rezone from Highway
Commercial (CH -1) to CH -1 with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/CH-1).
Signs seconded the motion.
Hensch noted the unanimous recommendation of Historic Preservation Commission is pretty
powerful to him. He also remembers what a big deal it was to go to events at the Highlander on
New Year's Eve and other things so he certainly does believe it's a landmark in the Iowa City
area. He knows the supper club days are gone, but that was pretty neat time, and he is
supporting this application.
Signs agreed and stated he is in support of the application, it is an icon in the Iowa City area, and
he is anxious to see that they're bringing it back to life. He is also glad they changed the name
back to the Highlander, because it does have a lot of history and they can leverage that quite
well.
Craig noted she came to Iowa City in 1970 as a freshman in college and had no money so never
went out to eat or did anything fancy but in her sophomore year she went to the Highlander for
some event and after that it was like for all special events, you got to go to the Highlander. So
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 21, 2021
Page 4 of 6
there are lots of memories for many, many people there and she is really pleased that they're
doing this and it's not just the building that's preserved, it's the history and the stories that go
along with it so she is totally supportive of this application.
Signs thanked Boyd for sharing his personal story.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: JANUARY 7, 2021:
Townsend moved to approve the meeting minutes of January 21, 2021.
Signs seconded the motion.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION:
Russett noted the City Council met on Tuesday during their work session to discuss the
affordable housing annexation policy, which was mentioned during the Carson Farms annexation
discussion and caused some Council members to not support that the annexation. There was no
direction given by Council for staff to make any changes to the affordable housing annexation
policy and there were many that wanted it to remain as is. They requested that as the City moves
forward with developing an affordable housing plan that the committee discuss changes.
Hensch stated he noticed there is no district plan for the North Corridor and there's a couple
other districts that are have no plans or are quite aged so is there a plan in place to create those
plans or update those plans. Russett replied right now they are working on an update to the
Southwest District Plan and their next goal after that is to reevaluate the Comprehensive Plan in
its entirety and at that time they'll come back to the Districts and evaluate if that is the structure
that they want to maintain or not. Hensch noted as part of that discussion, in the Riverfront
Crossings there are so many subdistricts and maybe part of the discussion can be to maybe
condense the number of subdistricts. Russett started that actually might come a little bit sooner,
they are actually working on some changes to that Riverfront Crossings Code, most of the
changes are not substantive but more structural to make the Code easier to use.
Signs noted he has been asked to serve on the steering committee as the City prepares the next
five-year Affordable Housing Action Plan representing both realtors, and the P&Z Commission.
Craig stated she signed up for one of the sessions on information about affordable housing but
hasn't receive a zoom link. Russett said that she should receive one, but that it is not a City
event. It's put on by the Johnson County Affordable Housing Coalition.

November 23, 2020
45 Day Limitation Period: January 7, 2021
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The property owner, Crossing Land, LLC, is requesting approval for the rezoning of 27.19 acres of
land from Interim Development — Research Park (ID -RP) to Rural Residential (RR -1) for 12.80
acres, High Density Single -Family (RS -12) for 6.05 acres, Low Density Multi -Family (RM -12) for
3.46 acres, and Medium Density Multi -Family (RM -20) for 4.88 acres. The applicant is also
requesting approval of a preliminary plat for Cardinal Point West — Part 3, a residential subdivision
with 12 single-family lots, 6 duplex lots, and 1 multi -family lot with 32 proposed dwelling units. The
plat also includes 3 outlots. Outlots I and J (to be rezoned RR -1) are proposed for open space to
be maintained by a homeowner's association. Outlot K (to be zoned RM -20) is reserved for future
development.
Prior to this application, the applicant received approval for two subdivision and rezoning
applications — Cardinal Pointe West Parts 1 and 2. The proposed preliminary plat is a continuation
of Parts 1 and 2. Attached is the concept that was provided in 2015 with the rezoning and
subdivision applications for Part 1.
This area was annexed into the city between 1969 and 1972. Since 1983 the area has been zoned
Interim Development — Research Park (ID -RP) to reflect possible development of an office park
along Highway 218. However, in May of 2002, City Council signed a resolution endorsing the Clear
Creek Master Plan memorandum of understanding that includes a concept that envisioned a
"conservation -type" development including residential and commercial uses in the areas
surrounding Camp Cardinal Boulevard. While there are still several acres of land zoned Interim
Development that are undeveloped, the areas surrounding Camp Cardinal Boulevard have seen
only residential development since the memorandum, with the exception of one parcel zoned
Commercial Office (CO -1) at the intersection of Kennedy Parkway and Camp Cardinal Boulevard
3
and one parcel zoned Community Commercial (CC -2) at the intersection of Camp Cardinal Road
and Camp Cardinal Boulevard.
Due to concerns about meeting face-to-face, the applicant did not hold a good neighbor meeting.
In -lieu of a good neighbor meeting, the applicant sent out a detailed letter (attached) and
informational packet to surrounding neighbors with contact information to discuss concerns and
questions about the project.
ANALYSIS:
Current Zoning: Based on the previous comprehensive plan, the area is currently zoned as Interim
Development — Research Park (ID -RP). The context of the 1997 comprehensive plan, however,
recognized that with the establishment of the Oakdale Campus north of Interstate 80, the possibility
of additional development of office and research park type uses in this area may not be realistic.
The plan also recognized that the topographical and infrastructural limitations of the area, and
therefore, supported development with a mix of uses, such as low density residential and office
commercial uses. The plan also supported clustered development that would result in pedestrian
friendly neighborhood with minimal disturbance of the sensitive areas. The current ID -RP zoning
only allows agricultural uses by right. As such, a rezoning is necessary to allow any development
of this property.
Proposed Zoning: The Rural Residential Zone (RR -1) is intended to provide rural residential
character for areas in the city that are not projected to have the utilities necessary for urban
development in the foreseeable future or for areas that have sensitive environmental features that
preclude development at urban densities. The areas proposed to be rezoned to RR -1 are proposed
to be private open space to be maintained by the homeowner's association.
The High -Density Single -Family Zone (RS -12) is intended to provide for development of single-
family dwellings, duplexes and attached housing units at a higher density than in other single-family
zones. Because this district represents a relatively high density for single-family development,
dwellings should be in close proximity to City services and facilities, especially parks, schools and
recreational facilities.
The RS -12 zone allows for single-family lots with a minimum lot area of 5,000 square feet, and a
minimum lot width of 45 feet. Duplexes are allowed on lots with a minimum lot area of 6,000 square
feet and lot width of 55 feet. All RS -12 lots within the proposed subdivision meet the minimum
requirements. Although lots 55-66 meet the requirements for duplex development, only lots 48-53
are intended to be duplexes with lots 55-66 intended for detached single-family dwellings.
The Low -Density Multi -Family Residential Zone (RM -12) is intended to provide a diverse variety of
housing options in neighborhoods throughout the City including the development of high-density,
single-family housing and low-density, multi -family housing. The applicant is proposing 32
townhouse -style, multi -family units in 7 buildings containing 4 to 5 dwellings each with a private rear
land or alley for vehicular access.
The Medium Density Multi -Family Zone (RM -20) is intended to provide an assortment of attached,
detached single-family and multi -family housing options and is well suited to be located adjacent to
commercial areas with good access to City services and facilities. Currently Outlot K is proposed to
be rezoned to RM -20. The applicant has not provided any details on the proposed site plan for this
zone, but when that plan is created care should be taken to ensure the site and building design is
compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. Based on the minimum lot area per unit standards
of the RM -20 zone, the maximum number of dwelling units allowed on the 4.49 -acre outlot is 108
units.

Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: This property is located within the Northwest Planning
District. While the district plan for this area has not been prepared, the comprehensive plan identifies
the Clear Creek Master Plan as a guiding document for this area surrounding Camp Cardinal
Boulevard. The Clear Creek Master Plan shows this area as suitable for residential, commercial
and office development. The plan also aims to create a conservation -type development that allows
for higher density development in exchange for the preservation of sensitive areas. The master plan
also states that the intended maximum allowable density for any subdivision would not exceed 20
dwelling units per acres. The density of the proposed rezoning and subdivision is around 6 units per
acre. Additionally, the IC2030 comprehensive plan housing policy (pg. 28) seeks to develop
neighborhoods with a mix of housing types. The comprehensive plan also lays out land use policy
to guide development away from environmentally sensitive areas, such as woodlands and steep
slopes (pg. 24). The requested rezoning and subdivision design conform with the conservation
design envisioned in the Clear Creek Master Plan as well as the policies for housing and land use
laid out in the comprehensive plan.
Subdivision Design: The subdivision includes 19 residential lots and three outlots. The proposed
residential development is a mix of RS -12 lots (48-53,55-66) and one RM -12 lot (54). Lots 48-53
are expected to be developed with duplex residential uses, and lots 55-66 are expected to be
developed with single-family residential uses.
Lot 54 is expected to be developed with townhouse -style, multi -family buildings with 4-5 dwellings
per building. In order to ensure consistency with the existing development pattern to the north,
staff is recommending a condition that development shall substantially comply with the concept
plan for the area shown as Lot 54 on the preliminary plat. Additionally, in order to ensure useable
outdoor space on Lot 54 staff is recommending a condition that requires staff approval of a
landscaping plan and screening of garages along Declan Drive and Mason Drive.
Outlots I and J contain the majority of the woodlands and steep and critical slopes. These outlots
are identified as private open space areas to be maintained by the homeowner's association.
Outlot K is reserved for future development.
The preliminary plat also shows the extension of Dubs Drive and Preston Lane. Preston Lane is
shown to intersect with Camp Cardinal Boulevard in this phase. The subdivision code requires
that block lengths range from 300 feet to a maximum of 600 feet (15-3-4A(2)). Longer block
lengths may be considered where topographic conditions, water features or existing development
prevent shorter block lengths. Midblock pedestrian connections may be required for longer block
lengths. The block lengths shown on the preliminary plat are in conformance with the subdivision
regulations, with the exception of Preston Lane between Declan Drive and Camp Cardinal
Boulevard. Due to the presence of steep wooded ravines located on Outlot J, no street
intersections are proposed east of Preston Lane except for the connection to Camp Cardinal
Boulevard. As a result, the length of Preston Lane between Declan Drive and Camp Cardinal
Boulevard exceeds the 600 feet normally required by subdivision code. However, the proposed
design helps minimize the disturbance of the wooded areas located on the property and complies
with the comprehensive plan's emphasis on conservation design for this area.
The subdivision regulations also state that "Any portion of a residential lot that is within three
hundred feet (300') of the Interstate 80 or Highway 218 right of way shall be identified as a noise
buffer, and no residential structure will be permitted within this three hundred foot (300') buffer
area." (15-3-4C) A small sliver of Outlot K falls within the 300' buffer (see Figure 1) and as such,
when Outlot K is platted for development, that area would not allow residential uses.

Traffic and Transportation: Preston Lane will extend from Kennedy Parkway on the north to
Camp Cardinal Boulevard to the south, a distance of approximately 2,000 feet with limited
intersecting streets. Due to concerns with the block length of Preston Lane between Declan Drive
and Camp Cardinal Boulevard, staff is recommending traffic calming measures. The preliminary
plat shows traffic calming chokers at Preston Lane & Declan Drive and a traffic circle further south
along Preston Lane. Chokers decrease the width of the pavement at the intersection, which can
help to slow traffic. Public Works staff and transportation planning staff are still reviewing the traffic
calming measures on the plat. Staff will have an update on their review at the Commission's
meeting.
Additionally, average daily traffic (ADT) count data for the area (Camp Cardinal Blvd. at Kennedy
Parkway) is around 7,770. The theoretical capacity of Camp Cardinal Blvd. is 16,750 ADT. The
completion of Cardinal Pointe West Part 3, assuming maximum build -out, is expected to generate
approximately 1,261 additional trips per day. This estimate includes the proposed townhome style
multi -family, duplex, and single-family units, as well as the potential build -out of Outlot K, which
is reserved for future multi -family development. The resulting increase in traffic is still well below
Camp Cardinal Blvd.'s capacity. In addition, both the Kennedy Parkway and future Preston Lane
intersections with Camp Cardinal Blvd have left turn lanes.
Currently, the west side of Camp Cardinal Blvd does not have a sidewalk. The Clear Creek Master
Plan includes typical cross sections, which show a 4 -foot sidewalk along the western side of Camp
Cardinal Blvd. Therefore, staff is proposing as a condition of the rezoning that a sidewalk is
constructed from Preston Lane to Kennedy Parkway on the west side of Camp Cardinal Blvd.
Instead of the 4 -foot sidewalk proposed in the plan, staff is recommending that the sidewalk be
5 -feet in width, which is the current standard. The east side of Camp Cardinal Blvd currently has
an 8 -foot side path.
6
This area is not served by transit.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The property contains steep slopes, critical slopes, and
woodlands. In terms of slopes, approximately, 47% of the steep slopes and 18.4% of the critical
slopes will be disturbed. This disturbance is less than the threshold of 35% of the critical slopes
required by the sensitive area's ordinance.
The sensitive areas development plan indicates that approximately 65% of the woodlands (6.31
acres) will be preserved. The plan shows the disturbed area as 35.3% or 3.45 acres of the
woodlands. The disturbed area total includes the 50 -foot woodlands buffer area, which is located
outside of the construction limits, but is not included in the preserve calculation. The sensitive
areas ordinance includes a retention requirement of 50% for single-family zones, like the
proposed RS -12 zone, and a retention requirement of 70% for the proposed RR -1 zone. The
sensitive areas development plan is complicated by the fact that the woodlands cross two zoning
designations with different retention requirements. Due to the fact that the plan demonstrates a
continuation of the preserved woodlands to the north (at the corner of Kennedy Parkway & Camp
Cardinal Blvd) and exceeds the 50% retention requirement for single-family zones, staff has
determined that the plan meets the intent of the sensitive area's ordinance. In addition, this is
consistent with how staff analyzed the sensitive areas in the previous phase of the development.
Tables 1 and 2 provides a summary of the impacts to slopes and woodlands.

Neighborhood Open Space: Public open space dedication or fees in lieu of are addressed at
the time of final platting. Based on the 6.05 acres of RS -12 zoning, 3.46 acres of RM -12 zoning,
and 4.88 acres of RM -20 zoning, the developer would be required to dedicate 0.96 acres of land
or pay fees in -lieu. Parks and Recreation staff has determined that an in -lieu fee payment would
be appropriate.
Storm Water Management: The stormwater management basin located to the south within the
Clear Creek subdivision has the capacity to provide stormwater management for Parts 1, 2, as
well as Part 3. The adequacy of the existing basin has been confirmed by the City Engineer.
In Cardinal Pointe West Part 1, Outlot D was designated as a stormwater management area. In
order to meet lot area requirements for Lot 53 in Cardinal Pointe West Part 3, Outlot D must be
reduced in size. Public Works staff has reviewed this and has determined that reducing the size
of this outlot is not an issue. Storm water management requirements are met with the capacity
provided in the basin to the south.
Infrastructure Fees: This subdivision is subject to the water main extension fee for $456.75 per
7
acre and sanitary sewer tap on fee of $570.98 per acre. Payment towards the cost of constructing
Camp Cardinal Boulevard will also need to be addressed at the time of final plat approval.
NEXT STEPS:
After review and recommendation by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the two applications
will be considered by the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Upon resolution of the deficiencies listed below, staff recommends approval of REZ20-0013 &
SUB20-0004, two applications submitted by Crossing Land, LLC for a preliminary plat of the
Cardinal Pointe West — Part 3 subdivision, a 19 -lot, residential subdivision located South of Kennedy
Parkway and West of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and the rezoning of 27.19 acres from Interim
Development — Research Park (ID -RP) to Rural Residential (RR -1), Low Density Multi -Family
Residential (RM -12), High Density Single -Family Residential (RS -12), and Medium Density Multi -
Family Residential (RM -20) zones subject to the following conditions:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the concept plan for the area shown as "Lot
54" on the preliminary plat, which includes townhouse -style, multi -family dwellings with
vehicular access to garages from a rear lane with green space and landscaping between
the rear driveways to reduce impervious surface and improve stormwater drainage.
2. Prior to approval of any site plan, Owner shall obtain staff approval of a landscaping plan
which shall include the plans for useable outdoor space for "Lot 54" on the preliminary plat
and screening of garages along Declan Drive and Mason Drive.
3. At the time of final platting, incorporation of traffic calming devices in a location approved
by and designed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
4. Prior to the issuance of a certificate occupancy, construction of a 5' sidewalk on the west
side of Camp Cardinal Blvd between Preston Lane and Kennedy Parkway.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Review and acceptance of the traffic calming measures to the satisfaction of the City
Engineer.

Adjoining Property Owner
RE: Cardinal Pointe West — Part Three, Iowa City, Iowa
Adjoining Property Owners,
The Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission (P & Z) will soon consider a rezoning and preliminary plat for a property in your area.
At this time, we are unable to have a Good Neighborhood Meeting/Open House due to COVID 19. However, the developer for the
project will be available via phone or email to discuss any questions you have regarding this project.
The project is located south of Kennedy Parkway and west of Camp Cardinal Blvd and depicted on the attached "Rezoning Exhibit" This
project is the third phase of a master plan that Southgate Companies has been working on since 2015.
Cardinal Pointe West -Part Three will continue the same model of product type diversity similar to Cardinal Pointe West -Part Two and
will provide the community with more pricing opportunities and a wider range of building types/density within the neighborhood.
Part Three will include the public right-of-way connection of Preston Lane with Camp Cardinal Blvd. The connection affords the
opportunity for vehicular/traffic relief as a secondary access to the south.
The enclosed Rezoning, Preliminary Plat and Sensitive Area Site Plan (prepared by Hall & Hall Engineers, Inc.) shows the proposed lot
configurations and future street network and connectivity for this area.
See below for breakdown of proposed zoning and housing type/use for Lots included in Part Three:
Lot Number/Letter

Page 2 of 11
CASE NO. REZ20-0013 & SUB20-0004:
Applicant: Crossing Land LLC
Location: South of Kennedy Parkway and West of Camp Cardinal Boulevard
An application for a rezoning of approximately 27.19 acres of land from Interim Development —
Research Park (ID -RP) zone to Rural Residential (RR -1) zone for 12.80 acres, High Density
Single -Family (RS -12) for 6.05 acres, Low Density Multi -Family (RM- 12) for 3.46 acres, and
Medium Density Multi -Family (RM -20) for 4.88 acres and an application for the preliminary plat of
Cardinal Pointe West Part 3, a residential subdivision with 12 single-family lots, 6 duplex lots,
and 1 multi -family lot.
Russett began the staff report noting there are two applications with this agenda item, a rezoning
and a preliminary plat. She next showed a map of the area which is located south of Kennedy
Parkway and west of Camp Cardinal Boulevard. The property is currently zoned Interim
Development Research Park and north of the project area there are multiple residential zones
and some rural residential. Russett noted the majority is single family, with the exception of one
area which is zoned for multifamily development.
In terms of background Russett noted this area was annexed into the City in the late 60s and
early 70s and was zoned Interim Development Research Park in 1983 as at that time it was
thought that this area could maybe be developed as an office park. The Comprehensive Plans
after 1983 recognize that this is probably not realistic, and then the Clear Creek Master Plan was
developed as a joint effort between the City of Iowa City, South Gate development, and the City
of Coralville in 2015. In 2016 Cardinal Point West Part One was approved predominantly as a
single-family subdivision, Part Two was approved in 2018 has some homes that are built and
some homes under construction. Unlike the first part, Part Two has a variety of housing types
incorporated into the design, there is single family, duplexes, and townhome, multi -family style
development. All of the vehicular access to the townhomes is through a private alley and there
are also some duplexes planned. Cardinal Point West Part Three is an extension of Part Two
and it's located to the south of Part Two. Russett showed some images of the land pointing out
slopes and some sensitive areas and showed the property off to the to the west where the trees
are located.
Russett reiterated this is a proposed zoning with four different zoning designations being
proposed. The first is rural residential which are the areas where for the most part will be
preserved as open space for the homeowner's association as a lot of these areas have sensitive
features and will not allow any development. The next is the RS -12 area which is the single
family and duplex development, there is RM -12 where the proposed townhomes would be
located and a proposed outlot for future development that the applicant is requesting a
designation of RM -20 which is a medium density multifamily zone.
In terms of review criteria staff looks at compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and
compatibility with the neighborhood and for subdivision review they also look at compliance with
Comprehensive Plan and compliance with the subdivision regulations. In terms of compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan, this area is in the Clear Creek Master Plan which was developed
and envisioned for residential and commercial and office development. There are also policy
goals in this plan related to conservation design because of all the sensitive features and
ensuring that there was housing diversity and a variety of housing types. So staff finds that this
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 7, 2021
Page 3 of 11
plan, the rezoning and the preliminary plat, are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Staff is
recommending one condition that the property owners install a five -foot -wide sidewalk on the
west side from Kennedy Parkway to Preston Lane.
In terms of compatibility with the neighborhood, Russett noted this is a continuation of the
existing development pattern in the area, the area already contains a mix of single-family homes,
duplexes and townhomes, and multifamily buildings. Staff is recommending two conditions that
are carried forward from the previous rezoning of Part Two, which are compliance with the
concept plan, shown for the townhome style development to ensure that garage accesses is at
the rear that there's a private drive and also that there is green space between the driveways.
The second condition is approval of a landscaping plan which ensures that there is usable
outdoor open space on Lot 54 and that the garages are screened from the streets.
Russett next showed the preliminary plat pointing out the single family lots proposed along
Preston Lane and will connect with Camp Cardinal Boulevard. In the center are the townhome
style multifamily buildings and the duplexes are on the side. There are two outlots, which again
are predominantly sensitive areas and are proposed to be private open space maintained by the
homeowner's association. Outlet K is the area that's proposed for future development which the
applicant is requesting the RM -20 designation.
Russett noted a couple things related to traffic and transportation. The block length of Preston
Lane from Declan Drive to Camp Cardinal Boulevard exceeds the preferred 600 foot maximum
for block length which is in order to preserve more of those woodlands and sensitive areas. Staff
is okay with the increased block length but have asked the applicant to incorporate traffic calming
features, so they have incorporated a traffic circle on Preston Lane and then they've incorporated
chokers at Declan Drive and Preston Lane. Russett noted that Public Works has reviewed and
approved the traffic calming measures so there's no longer any deficiencies associated with the
plat. In terms of traffic counts, Camp Cardinal Boulevard is an arterial street and the average
daily traffic capacity for that street is over 16,000. Current data shows that at Camp Carnival
Boulevard and Kennedy Parkway it is currently around 7,780 and staff has estimated that
maximum build out of the proposed development, even including the outlet for future
development, would add additional trips per day of around 1,261 so with the proposed
development it will still be below the capacity of Camp Carnival Boulevard.
Russett reiterated there are sensitive features and so the applicant has submitted a sensitive
areas development plan. Russett showed a couple of summary tables to show the preserved
areas for both the slopes and the woodlands. For the critical slopes, the Zoning Code allows a
disturbance of up to 35% and the applicant's sensitive areas plan shows a disturbance of below
19% so they meet the requirements of the Code. In terms of the woodlands, they are showing
that the preserved area is almost 65% of the woodlands but there are two retention requirements
for this area because of the two separate zoning designations. Staff has determined the
application does comply with the sensitive areas ordinance as the applicant is proposing to
extend the woodlands to the south that have been preserved as part of Part Two. They are doing
the same on the west side preserving the woodlands from the north and extending them south.
The retention requirements for single family is 50% and the applicant is well above that at 65%.
In terms of stormwater management, the basin to the south of the subdivision shown has the
capacity to serve Parts One, Two and Three and this has been confirmed by Public Works.
Planning and Zoning Commission

In terms of next steps, the Commission's recommendation will go to City Council and then upon
approval by City Council the applicant can submit a final plat which will be reviewed by City
Council and then upon approval of final plat the applicant can submit site plans and building
permits, which will be reviewed by staff.
Russett reiterated all deficiencies mentioned in the staff report have been addressed. Staff did
receive one piece of correspondence from a resident on Preston Lane who's interested in some
type of pocket park or playground area.
Staff recommends approval of REZ20-0013 & SUB20-0004, two applications submitted by
Crossing Land, LLC for a preliminary plat of the Cardinal Pointe West — Part 3 subdivision, a 19 -
lot, residential subdivision located South of Kennedy Parkway and West of Camp Cardinal
Boulevard and the rezoning of 27.19 acres from Interim Development — Research Park (ID -RP)
to Rural Residential (RR -1), Low Density Multi -Family Residential (RM -12), High Density Single -
Family Residential (RS -12), and Medium Density Multi -Family Residential (RM -20) zones subject
to the following conditions:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the concept plan for the area shown as "Lot
54" on the preliminary plat, which includes townhouse -style, multi -family dwellings with
vehicular access to garages from a rear lane with green space and landscaping between
the rear driveways to reduce impervious surface and improve stormwater drainage.
2. Prior to approval of any site plan, Owner shall obtain staff approval of a landscaping plan
which shall include the plans for useable outdoor space for "Lot 54" on the preliminary
plat and screening of garages along Declan Drive and Mason Drive.
3. At the time of final platting, incorporation of traffic calming devices in a location approved
by and designed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
4. Prior to the issuance of a certificate occupancy, construction of a 5' sidewalk on the west
side of Camp Cardinal Blvd between Preston Lane and Kennedy Parkway.
Hensch asked about the removal of trees and there were any requirements to replant any trees.
Russett replied the applicant exceed the retention requirements so would not be required to
replant any trees. Hensch noted by looking at that aerial map it looks like they've already
cleared a large area of land and noted they should have to wait to get permission before they
clear any land. Russett said they can ask the applicant if anything has been removed.
Hensch asked if there's access to this development from Deer Creek Road or is it all from Camp
Cardinal or Kennedy Parkway. Russett confirmed it is all from Camp Cardinal or Kennedy
Parkway.
Hensch noted looking at Lot 53, it looks like it's closest to Highway 218 and when the
Commission approved the rezoning for the development just south of that they put in some
specific requirements due to the proximity to 218. He wondered about the distance Lot 53 is
from 218. Russett confirmed it is further away from 218 than the other development to the south
and none of Lot 53 is located within the 300 -foot buffer area.
Hensch asked if the large outlots on both sides of this proposal development will be maintained
by the HOA. He would hate to see it be overrun with invasive species. Russett noted what would
be required is as part of the final plat there will be restrictions placed on those outlets in terms of
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 7, 2021
Page 5 of 11
development but it won't require maintenance and clearing of invasive species and woodland
management, there is nothing currently in the Code that would require that. Hensch shared that
is a concern, there are so many problems nowadays with invasive species so he thinks it's
something as a Commission they need to start looking at when they're looking at some of these
developments.
Martin asked about the traffic calming circle, and it appears that there are driveways on the
roundabout. Russett noted there are no driveways shown on the plat but there will need to be a
driveway off of the circle for lots 64 and 63. Martin noted that seems dangerous.
Townsend asked if there is going to be any affordable housing in these units. Russett replied
none would be required by the City, but they can ask the applicant their intentions.
Craig asked about the alley and thinking about the whole kerfuffle with garbage pickup on the
Peninsula in the alleys, will the garbage pickup be in that alley, or is it going to be out of the
street. Russett stated the City won't be picking up the garbage for the townhouses it will be a
private hauler because it is a neighborhood association, and the City doesn't collect garbage and
recycling and compost for multifamily.
Signs stated he is intrigued that there is some land left in rural residential zoning and is
wondering what is the reasoning or the benefit to that and why wasn't it just pulled into the
remainder of the development. Russett stated because those are outlets, the zoning matters a
lot less because they're going to be restricted from development through the subdivider's
agreement legal documents as part of final platting. Since Part Two had those rural residential
zones this part is just continuing that zoning designation. Hektoen added the outlots will have
that rural residential zoning designation and it will be plated as an outlot for private open space
and be restricted in that manner. Staff also discussed the possibility of zoning it consistent with
the adjacent land, but then imposing a conservation easement, so there's a number of ways to
reserve land so that doesn't get redeveloped, they chose this path based on consistency with the
previous subdivision.
Townsend asked about the traffic counts, noting that right now with COVID people are working
from home, so will it be different when there is a regular amount of traffic. Russett explained the
counts were taken prior to the pandemic.
Craig asked about the letter from the resident about a park and staff replied about a small area
near the townhouses of open space. Russett confirmed and noted the City only requires open
space and providing open space, but it cannot require playground equipment or anything like
that. Hensch noted in the past the Commission has put on requirements to put in some open
space or some recreation space or some playground equipment in those areas. Craig noted it is
a pretty big development and is a little isolated from lots of recreational options. She asked if
transit even goes out there. Russett replied transit currently does not. Signs said they could
address it with the developer and also ask if in Parts One or Two were there any parks put into
those areas.
Signs also noted he feels like dirt has been moved down there, and that is something they need
to pay attention to if and when developers get a little ahead of the game. Hensch agreed and
said it has happened in the past and people need to be held accountable.

Elliott asked about the multifamily lot and it is labeled high rise residential (RM -20). Hensch
stated that is for future development so it's not relevant tonight. Russett added a high rise
wouldn't be allowed there.
Hensch opened the public hearing.
Josh Entler (Crossing Land, LLC) thanked the Commission and did want to address a couple of
the questions but first wanted to share some of the highlights of their intent and vision for the
area. First with Phase one back in 2016 they had to bring sanitary sewer essentially from Camp
Cardinal Boulevard at the pond all the way up through that agriculture field so it seems like
there's been years of disturbance, but it was really getting sewer up to Part One and then the
heavy dirt moving started in Part Two in 2018. They were essentially just peeling off the excess
dirt and shifting it to the old cornfield that has since been stabilized with temporary seeding. In
terms of the question about woodland management and what the HOA would do, they are
certainly open to providing some information resource connections. Right now they have a
development proposal on the north side of Kennedy Parkway in Coralville that they're working
with the Iowa DNR as well as the City of Coralville to do a 10% management plan so by the time
they execute that plan they will have some good resources to be able to deliver to the HOA
should they want to take a more direct approach on woodland management. Regarding the
driveways on traffic circles he too had a little bit of a concern, but from the same token, it's not
real clear on the plat, but just to point out the technical details, each lane of that traffic circle is
-24 feet in width which is equivalent to a normal two-lane traffic but in the movement of the traffic
circle it's only one way traffic so there should be ample amount of room to be able to back out,
maneuver a vehicle, and not impede the other lane of traffic. For the land left in rural residential
that was really a request from staff to place it in rural residential as another mechanism to be
able to convey to the public that they don't intend to develop this land and the land is reserved
and not for development. Regarding a possible park area, as in Parts One and Two there is the
open space requirement, and again, those are going to go to the HOA once development is
complete. Entler did respond that particular neighbor that they would like to see some
playground equipment, and there is likely a need for it. They are open to it being part of that
initiative, whether it be basketball courts or some playground equipment. With Parts One, Two,
and Three all in is almost 72 acres of open space and excluding outlets that have been reserved
for future developments it leaves around 33 acres. There's two opportunities within Parts One
and Two in the townhome areas that they could do some pocket parks, but also if there's a
timber if they need to make sure they stay withing the 10% management plan. Entler also
acknowledged he did see on the 2015 Master Plan the label of a high-rise multifamily, it is not
their intention to do high rise development, at most they may do a 30- or 40-plex and really
requested the RM -20 at this time is to be able to keep their options open.
Regarding their vision for the area, Entler stated it is a continued focus on cluster development
with minimal impact the surrounding areas. As noted in the staff report the Clear Creek
Memorandum of Understanding could go up to 20 units per acre but that is certainly not what
their intention is here. In Parts One and Two they development at much less than even the
minimum allowance, they prefer to dedicate a lot of space to the HOA management for a more
natural type of layout and preservation, and focus their density on providing a diversity of
products. They had much success in Part Two and want to continue that model for a much
wider buyer pool and a diversity of homebuyers. Lastly he wanted to note one of the major
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 7, 2021
Page 7 of 11
impacts is the connection of Preston Lane which is going to provide a lot of vehicular relief and
more opportunities for Parts Two and Three and Outlot K for future development. Entler also
acknowledged they did send information packets to the neighbors in the surrounding community
in lieu of a in person meeting and there were three comments that they've received. The first
one has already been addressed regarding community parks. Second was traffic impact with
this development which was covered in the staff report but the short answer is they will still be
well under the design capacity of Camp Cardinal Boulevard. The third comment impact on
surrounding infrastructure but this development is not going to negatively impact or exceed the
stormwater management as well. The basin or pond has been designed to handle actually a
much higher intensity than what is planned for the development.
Hensch asked for reference to a woodland management plan, and the development of that. He
also wanted to know if there is an area or an outlet that could be for a recreation area or
recreation equipment how would they see that looking or what would be their preference. Entler
replied he thinks how he sees that playing out is once they find success with what works in this
part of town and with the natural environment (because what they're working with on the
Coralville side of Kennedy Parkway is very similar terrain and steep slopes) then they can deliver
that successful plan and packet to the HOA. Regarding the woodland management plan, he
stated he personally walked that timber with the DNR and identified pockets that were preferred
species and clustered segments of 75 mature Red Oak and Black Oak species in a specific area.
They want to focus on retaining those oaks and then actually do some management practices
with the understory growth so that those oaks can prosper.
Signs asked about the traffic circle issue and noted it seems like an oddly placed traffic circle
with just three lots later having a choker corner and prior to the traffic circle there's only two lots
so is there some correlation of there potentially being one of the entrances to Outlot K. Entler
replied there could be a couple of different options of what Outlot K could look like and the intent
is to leave the options open in terms of whether a variety of big buildings or a continuation of
Parts Two and Three in the next phase. They did the best they could to align a future
intersection, whether it be the entrance to a multifamily or a future intersection where Dubs Drive
comes in and hooks into Preston Lane.
Martin asked if it has to be a traffic circle, she feels with a lot of the families that live nearby there
are a lot of budding young inexperienced drivers. She wants to be thoughtful going forward but
acknowledged she doesn't know what the answer is. Obviously, the City is asking for traffic
calming but perhaps there is something else that could be done. Russett stated that staff also
explored median islands as a potential option but this pavement was not wide enough for median
islands there so staff really felt that the traffic circle was the best option.
Signs asked if the traffic circle is required. Russett replied it is not required, staff is
recommending it because they've had issues before with long block lengths and speeding in
other developments with no traffic calming and within a year the neighborhood comes together
and requests speed humps. Signs noted it seems like a relatively short space to have a speed
bump and from Declan Drive to Kennedy Parkway it appears to be no traffic calming. He asked
if choker would suffice in that area. Russett explained they can only do a choker at an
intersection.
Townsend asked about affordable housing included in this development. Entler stated they have
Planning and Zoning Commission
January 7, 2021
Page 8 of 11
not specifically identified anything as set aside for affordable housing.
Hensch closed the public hearing.
Nolte moved to approve REZ20-0013 & SUB20-0004, two applications submitted by
Crossing Land, LLC for a preliminary plat of the Cardinal Pointe West — Part 3
subdivision, a 19 -lot, residential subdivision located South of Kennedy Parkway and West
of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and the rezoning of 27.19 acres from Interim Development —
Research Park (ID -RP) to Rural Residential (RR -1), Low Density Multi -Family Residential
(RM -12), High Density Single -Family Residential (RS -12), and Medium Density Multi -Family
Residential (RM -20) zones subject to the following conditions:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the concept plan for the area shown
as "Lot 54" on the preliminary plat, which includes townhouse -style, multi -family
dwellings with vehicular access to garages from a rear lane with green space and
landscaping between the rear driveways to reduce impervious surface and improve
stormwater drainage.
2. Prior to approval of any site plan, Owner shall obtain staff approval of a
landscaping plan which shall include the plans for useable outdoor space for "Lot
54" on the preliminary plat and screening of garages along Declan Drive and
Mason Drive.
3. At the time of final platting, incorporation of traffic calming devices in a location
approved by and designed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
4. Prior to the issuance of a certificate occupancy, construction of a 5' sidewalk on
the west side of Camp Cardinal Blvd between Preston Lane and Kennedy Parkway.
Townsend seconded the motion.
Hensch stated he like this development because it has a lot of housing types and some high
density to help with the whole missing middle concept. The one thing he is interested in is to
perhaps add another condition that a woodland management plan to be developed and this is a
great opportunity to start a practice of making sure that larger timber stands are maintained over
time and deal with invasive species. Additionally, they could add in something about that plan for
some recreation area or recreation equipment if others are interested.
Signs agreed starting to look at woodland management issues is probably something the
Commission should be doing.
Craig also supports that because it sounds like if they're doing it on the northern part it should be
simple enough to extend it on down and maybe this is something the Commission should look at
more systematically in the future.
Martin also agrees.
Hektoen asked who the Commission would want to implement the management plan and when.
Hensch feels it is something where the developer would create the plan and then ultimately be
the responsibility of the HOA. Hektoen agreed that's probably the developer's preference, she
did note they have seen challenges with stormwater management being passed along to a HOA.
Hensch shares her concern as there are detention ponds all throughout the City that just don't

get maintained.
Craig stated it should be the responsibility of the HOA, it's certainly not the developers
responsibility 10 years down the road, and it's not the City's responsibility, and it lends value to
all their properties if well maintained.
Signs agrees but also confirms that traditionally they aren't taken care of, because for one thing,
there's money involved with that and no HOA wants to spend any more money than they
absolutely have to. It should be the HOA responsibility and they should appreciate it but there's
a good chance this is unless they find a way to put some teeth into it.
Craig suggested they start by what they're doing, which is asking for this plan from the developer
and assuming that the developer will pass that responsibility on to the HOA. If it is problem city-
wide then it is something that is put on a to do list of figuring out how to put teeth in it.
Hensch suggested they could do it similar to the wording in a condition number two, where it
says owner shall obtain staff approval on a landscaping plan, and have the condition say owner
must obtain staff approval on a timber management plan. They could put initial responsibility of
development of the plan and implementation on the development and then it is transferred to the
HOA.
Hektoen stated typically the transition of maintenance of common elements from the developer
to the home owners is a function of the HOA declaration. If the Commission wants the obligation
to stay with the developer, that would need to be expressly stated in the CZA. Otherwise the
HOA declaration will control.
Signs also wanted to comment as far as the rest of development goes, he thinks they've done a
nice job and he also likes the connection to Camp Cardinal Boulevard with Preston Lane and the
different types of housing and the preservation of the green space with the cluster development.
Nolte amended his motion to add a fifth condition:
Nolte moved to approve REZ20-0013 & SUB20-0004, two applications submitted by
Crossing Land, LLC for a preliminary plat of the Cardinal Pointe West — Part 3
subdivision, a 19 -lot, residential subdivision located South of Kennedy Parkway and West
of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and the rezoning of 27.19 acres from Interim Development —
Research Park (ID -RP) to Rural Residential (RR -1), Low Density Multi -Family Residential
(RM -12), High Density Single -Family Residential (RS -12), and Medium Density Multi -Family
Residential (RM -20) zones subject to the following conditions:
1. Development shall substantially comply with the concept plan for the area shown
as "Lot 54" on the preliminary plat, which includes townhouse -style, multi -family
dwellings with vehicular access to garages from a rear lane with green space and
landscaping between the rear driveways to reduce impervious surface and improve
stormwater drainage.
2. Prior to approval of any site plan, Owner shall obtain staff approval of a
landscaping plan which shall include the plans for useable outdoor space for "Lot
54" on the preliminary plat and screening of garages along Declan Drive and
Mason Drive.
3. At the time of final platting, incorporation of traffic calming devices in a location

approved by and designed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
4. Prior to the issuance of a certificate occupancy, construction of a 5' sidewalk on
the west side of Camp Cardinal Blvd between Preston Lane and Kennedy Parkway.
5. Owner shall obtain staff approval of a Woodland Management Plan.
Townsend seconded the amended motion.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0.
CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: DECEMBER 17, 2020:
Townsend moved to approve the meeting minutes of December 17, 2020.
Martin seconded the motion.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-1 (Signs abstained).
PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION:
Russett gave an updated that the City Council had their public hearing on the Carson Farms
annexation and rezoning on Tuesday and the applicant had requested that Council indefinitely
defer that item if there wasn't support for it and there was not support to approve the annexation
or the rezoning so they approved an indefinite deferral of both. The applicant has withdrawn both
applications.
Hensch asked if the fundamental issue was it affordable housing. Russett confirmed Council
had concerns with the existing affordable housing annexation policy and at the next work session
they're going to discuss it and provide more direction to staff on what their concerns are and
what they'd like to see changed.
Townsend asked about an update for the development off of Dubuque Street where they have all
the prefab houses. Russett did not have any updates on that.
Signs asked if there could be an introduction of new members at some point.
Hensch noted that is a good idea, many things have been difficult in the era of COVID and zoom
meetings.
ADJOURNMENT:
Signs moved to adjourn.
Townsend seconded.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0.

reasonable conditions on granting a rezoning request, over and above existing regulations, in
order to satisfy public needs caused by the requested change; and

February 16, 2021
Ordinance amending Title 9, entitled "Motor Vehicles," to provide that the
process for towing, impounding, and reclaiming of abandoned vehicles is
consistent with the Iowa Code (First Consideration)
Prepared By: Susan Dulek, Ass't. City Attorney
Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
Denise Brotherton, Captain Police Department
Fiscal Impact: None
Recommendations: Staff: Approval
Commission: N/A
Attachments: Ordinance
Executive Summary:
Both state law and the City Code have a hearing process for an owner to challenge the towing,
impounding, and/or reclaiming of an abandoned vehicle, but the definition of abandoned vehicle
and the process vary slightly. Because the Iowa Code preempts the City from having a different
definition and a different process, the City Code needs to be amended to make it consistent with
the state law.
Background /Analysis:
Sections 321.235 and .236 of the Iowa Code preempt local governments from enacting any
ordinance that is contrary to the abandoned vehicle provision in the state code. When scheduling
a hearing request, staff recognized that the process in the City Code for abandoned vehicles was
slightly different than in the Iowa Code.
The primary difference is that state law allows the owner 10 days to request an
administrative hearing and the City Code allows 21 days. In addition to decreasing the time to
request a hearing, the ordinance also clarifies that the owner can challenge the fees and charges
as well as the towing itself and amends the definition of abandoned vehicle.
The Iowa Code only regulates the towing, impoundment, and reclaiming of an abandoned vehicle,
not a vehicle towed for other reasons. The City Code grants a hearing to the owner of any vehicle
towed, and this ordinance does not change that. However, the time frame to request a hearing on
the tow of a non -abandoned vehicle is also decreased to 10 days to avoid having two different
deadlines.

Description
Ordinance
Prepared by: Susan Dulek, Asst. City Attorney, 410 E. Washington Street, Iowa City, IA 52240; 319-356-5030
ORDINANCE NO.
Ordinance amending Title 9, entitled "Motor Vehicles," to provide that
the process for towing, impounding, and reclaiming of abandoned
vehicles is consistent with the Iowa Code.
Whereas, both the Iowa Code and the City Code authorize the towing, impounding,
and reclaiming of abandoned vehicles, but they define abandoned vehicles differently and
the hearing and reclaim process is different;
Whereas, Sections 321.235 and .236 of the Iowa Code preempt local governments
from enacting any ordinance that is contrary to the abandoned vehicle provision in the
state code;
Whereas, the City Code should be amended such that the towing, impounding,
reclaiming, and hearing process for abandoned vehicles is consistent with the Iowa Code;
and
Whereas, the towing, impounding, reclaiming, and hearing process for vehicles that
are not abandoned should be the same as for abandoned vehicles; and
Whereas, it is in the best interest of the City to adopt this ordinance
Now, therefore, be it ordained by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa:
Section I. Amendments.
1. Title 9, entitled "Motor Vehicles and Traffic," Chapter 1, entitled "Definitions,
Administration and Enforcement of Traffic Provisions," Section 1, entitled
"Definitions," is amended by adding the underlined text and deleting the strike
through text as follows:
Abandoned Vehicle:
Means any of the following:
(1) A vehicle that has been left unattended on public property for more than twenty-four
hours and lacks current registration plates or two or more wheels or other parts which
renders the vehicle totally inoperable.
(2) A vehicle that has remained illegally on public property for more than twenty-four
