Resolution accepting payment of $300.00 civil penalty and waiver of right to
hearing form Kum & Go LC (Store #3502).
Prepared By: Jennifer L. Schwickerath, Assistant City Attorney
Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
Fiscal Impact: No Impact
Recommendations: Staff: No Recommendation
Commission: N/A
Attachments: Resolution
Executive Summary:
This Resolution accepts a waiver of right to hearing and a payment of a $300.00 civil penalty. The
civil penalty is required by Iowa Code Section 453A.22(2) due to a first instance of an employee
selling or providing tobacco to a minor within a two-year period.
The criminal charge against the employee that arose from this violation was dismissed by the
County Attorney's Office not because the sale did not take place, but because the prosecutor did
not think justice was served by holding the clerk criminally liable under the facts of this case. The
tobacco statute, 453A.22(2), uses "violated" as the trigger for proceeding with civil penalties, as
opposed to "convicted," therefore, it is appropriate for the City to move forward with the civil penalty
against the licensee, given an illegal sale did in fact take place there.

Whereas, on June 29, 2022, an employee of Kum & Go LC, DBA Kum & Go #3502, 2303
Muscatine Ave., Iowa City violated Iowa Code §453A.2(1) by selling or providing tobacco,
tobacco products or cigarettes to a minor and this was the first such violation by one of its
employees in a two-year period; and
Whereas, at the time of the violation, Kum & Go LC was operating under a retail
cigarette permit issued by the City of Iowa City; and
Whereas, pursuant to Iowa Code §453A.22(2), an establishment which holds a retail
cigarette permit is subject to a civil penalty of $300.00 as a result of its employee violating
Iowa Code §453A.2(1), for a first violation within a two-year period; and
Whereas, Kum & Go LC has waived its right to the hearing required by Iowa Code
§453A.22(2) and accepted responsibility for its employee's violation of Iowa Code
§453A.2(1) by paying a $300.00 civil penalty to the City Clerk of the City of Iowa City.
Now, therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, that the
City Council should accept the waiver of right to hearing and payment of $300.00 civil
penalty on behalf of Kum & Go LC.
Be it further resolved, that the City Clerk will forward this Resolution to the City

Resolution
2022 version of City's sidewalk snow removal policy
Executive Summary:
The operating policy for the City's sidewalk snow removal was last updated in 2008. The prior
policy relied on the USPS to provide following business day mail service to deliver notices. The
City can no longer rely on this for next day service. Community members will be better served by
City staff directly posting the property with the sidewalk snow removal policy and the addition of a
follow up courtesy email.
Background /Analysis:
The updated operating policy removes the mailed notice requirement. The policy requires the
property to be posted with a notice and includes the addition of a follow up courtesy email. The
City will send an email to the address the City has listed for the property.
For registered rental properties, email addresses are required through the City's new licensing
and land use software implemented in 2020. All email addresses identified in the permit by the
owner will be notified. It can include the owner, property manager and tenant, if provided. Owner -
occupied properties will receive the property posting and a courtesy email as they are available for
the street address. Many owner -occupied properties have supplied an email address when they
signed up for City water and trash service. This email will be used to send the courtesy email to
owner -occupied properties.
Both the revised policy and the redlined version of the changes to the prior policy are attached for
your review. The revised policy will go into effect upon City Council approval.

the site on Camp Cardinal Boulevard.
April 19, 2022
45 Day Limitation Period: The applicant has waived the 45 -day review
period.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Navigate Homes, is requesting approval for the rezoning of 27.68 acres from Interim
Development—Research Park (ID -RP) zone to Low Density Multi -Family Residential with a
Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12) and a preliminary plat for land located east of Camp
Cardinal Blvd and west of Camp Cardinal Road. The Preliminary Plat, Planned Development
Overlay, and Sensitive Areas Development Plan is provided in Attachment 3. The proposed
development would allow for the development of 22 duplexes, 4 townhomes and 30 multi -family
units. For renderings of the multi -family building see Attachment 4.
The development proposes the extension of Deer Creek Road off Camp Cardinal Blvd through the
parcel connecting to Camp Cardinal Road. The proposed preliminary plat for the development is a
cul-de-sac - loop layout running north and south, lined by 22 duplexes. Following Deer Creek Road
east toward Camp Cardinal Road, the proposal includes a 30 -unit multi -family complex (13 two
bedroom, 17 one -bedroom units) and 4 townhomes with additional duplexes on the south side of
Deer Creek.
The site contains regulated sensitive features including wetlands, woodlands, and slopes. The
Preliminary Sensitive Areas Development Plan proposes impacts to wetlands and modifications to
the 100' wetland buffer requirement (14-51-6), which requires a Level 11 Sensitive Areas Review. A
Level 11 Sensitive Areas Review requires submission of a Sensitive Areas Development Plan
3
(SADP). Furthermore, a Level II sensitive areas review is considered a type of planned development
and as such, must comply with the applicable approval criteria set forth in chapter 3, article A,
"Planned Development Overlay Zone (OPD)".
Good Neighbor Policy: The surrounding property owners have been notified of the proposed
rezoning and preliminary plat. A virtual Good Neighbor meeting was scheduled and took place on
February 1, 2022. A summary of the meeting is included in Attachment 5.
ANALYSIS:
Current zoning: The area is zoned as Interim Development—Research Park (ID -RP). This zone
is intended for areas of managed growth in which agricultural and other nonurban uses of land
may continue until the city is able to provide services and urban development can occur. The
interim development zone is the default zoning district to which all undeveloped areas should be
classified until city services are provided. Upon provision of city services, the City or the property
owner may initiate rezoning to zones consistent with the comprehensive plan, as amended.
Proposed zoning: The applicant is requesting to rezone the entire area (27.68 acres) to Low
Density Multi -Family with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12). The purpose of the Low -
Density Multi -Family Residential Zone (RM -12) is to provide for the development of high density,
single-family housing and low density, multi -family housing. In this case, a mix of multi -family
housing units and duplex units provides a diverse variety of housing throughout the neighborhood,
as intended by RM -12 zoning. Because of this mixture, attention to site and building design is
important in this zone to ensure that these housing types are compatible with one another. Due to
impacts to the sensitive areas, a Planned Development Overlay is required. The OPD process
allows for a mixture of uses, provided that additional criteria in section 14-3A-4 and 14-3A-5 of the
City Code are met.
General Planned Development Approval Criteria: Applications for Planned Development
Rezonings are reviewed for compliance with the following standards according to Article 14-3A of
the Iowa City Zoning Ordinance.
1. The density and design of the Planned Development will be compatible with and/or
complementary to adjacent development in terms of land use, building mass and
scale, relative amount of open space, traffic circulation and general layout.
Density: The applicant is requesting a rezoning to an OPD/RM-12 zone, which allows for a density
of 15 dwelling units per net acre of land area (total land minus public and private streets right-of-
way). The proposed 30 -unit complex, 4 townhomes, and 22 duplexes adds up to 78 total units
across the 25.02 acres of net site area, which equals 3.1 dwelling units per acre.
Land Uses Proposed: The applicant is proposing a mix of duplex and multi -family residential. There
are currently two areas to the west zoned RM -12 and one area to the southeast. The property to
the immediate west was rezoned to OPD/RM-12 in 2017 but remains undeveloped. The property
to the northwest also has RM -12 zoning with townhomes constructed, as well as ongoing townhome
development. Cardinal Villas Condominiums located southeast of the subject property is also zoned
as OPD/RM-12 with two multi -family buildings on the property. The area to the north is zoned
OPD/RS-8 and contains duplexes similar to those proposed. The addition of more duplexes and
multi -family housing to the area will complement the existing, ongoing, and future development
plans in the area.
Mass, Scale, and General Layout: Due to the potential impacts of the sensitive areas, the
development layout is more compact instead of spreading out over the property. The proposed
duplexes are located on the western edge of the site off a cul-de-sac street to the north of Deer
Creek Road and a loop street to the south of Deer Creek Road. Additional duplexes front Deer
4
Creek Road to the east along with the proposed 30 -unit multi -family buildings and townhomes. The
multifamily and townhomes cannot exceed 35 feet in height and have a footprint of 12,000 square
feet and 3,660 square feet respectively.
The OPD plan shows duplex footprints with the access to garages from the front facade. 14 -3A -
4K -1c-(2) requires garages and off-street parking areas be located so that they do not dominate
the streetscape. Alley or private rear lane access will be required, unless garages are recessed
behind the front facade of the dwelling in a manner that allows the residential portion of the
dwelling to predominate along the street. This standard will be reviewed at site plan and building
permitting stage to ensure full compliance to the requirement.
Open Space: The proposed development will need to comply with private open space standards,
outlined in section 14 -2B -4E of the City Code. For the 30 -unit complex, the calculation comes out
to be 430 square feet of private open space required (10 SF per bedroom, 43 total bedrooms in
complex). The duplexes require a minimum of 300 SF per dwelling and the townhomes require
minimum 150 SF of useable open space. The applicant is aware of these open space standards as
they are listed on the preliminary plat. The OPD plans shows 10,000 square feet of on-site open
space for the multi -family uses. Additionally, the preliminary plat includes two outlots totaling 16.76
acres that contain regulated sensitive areas that will be placed in conservation easement at final
platting.
Traffic Circulation: The proposed development will have access off of Camp Cardinal Blvd through
an extension of Deer Creek Road. The extension of Deer Creek Road will provide access to the
entire site and, until Camp Cardinal Rd and a proposed traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek
Road and Camp Cardinal Road are constructed, Deer Creek Road will provide temporary access
to Camp Cardinal Road. This will provide a secondary access, if needed. The subdivision code 15-
3-2K authorizes the City to request an applicant to contribute 50% of the reconstruction cost of
bringing the segment of the subject street that abuts the subject property to city standards. As a
condition to the rezoning, owner shall contribute 50% of the cost of upgrading Camp Cardinal Road
to City standards prior to issuance of building permit. The infrastructure also requires traffic calming
devices. The contribution shall include 50% of the cost of construction of the traffic circle at the
intersection of Deer Creek Road and Camp Cardinal Road.
2. The development will not overburden existing streets and utilities.
The property can be serviced by both sanitary sewer and water. Access to the site will be provided
through the extension of Deer Creek Road, which will connect to both Camp Cardinal Blvd and
Camp Cardinal Road.
3. The development will not adversely affect views, light and air, property values and
privacy of neighboring properties any more than would a conventional
development.
The nearest neighbors to the north of the subject property are separated by a woodland
preservation area and a stream corridor. The nearest neighbors to the east and southeast will
also remain separated due to the preservation of woodlands. The proposed development does
not adversely affect views, light and air, property values and privacy of neighboring properties any
more than would a conventional development.
4. The combination of land uses and building types and any variation from the
underlying zoning requirements or from City street standards will be in the public
interest, in harmony with purpose of this Title, and with other building regulations.
The proposed development is not seeking any waivers or variations from the underlying zoning
requirements. Additionally, the proposed RM -12 zone allows the proposed mix of residential land
5
uses proposed. The proposed multi -family building, duplexes, and townhomes provide a range of
housing options. When factoring in both the total building area occupied (approximately 2.27
acres or 98,800 SF) and the total area occupied by R.O.W. (2.61 acres), the total lot coverage is
equal to approximately 15.5%. Meaning, approximately 84.5% of the net site area will remain free
of buildings, parking, and vehicular maneuvering areas. The mix of housing, the extension of Deer
Creek Road, and the preservation of sensitive features are in the public interest.
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The area does not have a district plan hence, the
proposed development is reviewed according to the 102030 Comprehensive Plan.
The Future Land Use Map of the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan identifies the subject property as
appropriate for residential development at a density of 8-16 dwelling units per acre. As previously
stated, the subject property proposes around 3.1 dwelling units per net acre. This density is
actually below what is envisioned in the plan; however, the site is constrained due to the sensitive
features.
The IC2030 Comprehensive Plan encourages urban growth through compact and connected
neighborhoods. The Preliminary Plat, Planned Development Overlay, and Sensitive Areas
Development Plan demonstrates a commitment to these goals by providing wide interconnected
sidewalks and a variety of housing types that as noted in the Comprehensive Plan, "Ensure a mix
of housing types within each neighborhood to provide options for households of all types and
people of all incomes".
The Comprehensive Plan is also aimed at encouraging pedestrian -oriented development and
attractive and functional streetscapes that make it safe, convenient, and comfortable to walk. The
applicant is showing sidewalks along both sides of Maclan Court and Dear Creek Road. The plan
also shows a sidewalk along Maclan Loop and connected to the Deer Creek sidewalk on the
subject property. The sidewalk along Deer Creek will connect to the existing sidewalk along Camp
Cardinal Blvd.
Although the comprehensive plan discourages cul-de-sacs and emphasizes stub streets for future
connectivity, the proposed development is limited due to sensitive areas and existing
neighborhood constraints. Specifically, due to the layout of the neighborhood to the north, which
incorporates a loop street, connecting with that existing neighborhood is not possible. By
proposing development on the most buildable portion of the property, and thereby preserving the
natural areas of the property, the development aligns with the goals of the comprehensive plan.
Subdivision Design: The proposed subdivision contains 23 residential lots and two outlots. Outlot
A is noted on the preliminary plat as open space area to be maintained by the homeowner's
association. Outlot B will also contain open space to be maintained by the HOA, but it will also
include a storm water management area. Additionally, the preliminary plat shows a conservation
easement area that will ensure the preservation of sensitive resources. The subject plat proposes
the designation of 2.61 acres of public right of way though the extension of Deer Creek Road. This
also includes the construction of Maclan Court and Maclan Loop from Deer Creek Road. Maclan
Court is proposed as a cul-de-sac lined by 12 duplexes. Maclan Loop is a loop street lined by
another 7 duplexes proposed. East of these streets and along Deer Creek Road are the proposed
4 townhomes, housing complex, and the remaining 3 duplexes.
According to section 15-3-2A-4 of the City Code, cul-de-sacs should be avoided unless it can be
demonstrated that existing constraints prevent the extension of the street to access existing
streets within or abutting the subdivision. Due to sensitive area constraints, as well as the northern
neighborhoods providing no access point due to loop street systems, there is not an outlet for
through street access. Because of these constraints on the property, the applicant proposes
Maclan Court ending in a cul-de-sac. Staff supports the proposed cul-de-sac design since
previous iterations with a loop street resulted in greater impact on sensitive features.
6
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The subject property contains regulated wetlands,
woodlands, and slopes. The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Sensitive Areas Development
Plan as part of the OPD rezoning. Due to the proposed disturbance of wetlands and associated
buffers, a Level 11 Sensitive Areas Review is required.
Jurisdictional Wetlands — The City's Sensitive Areas Ordinance requires a 100 ft. buffer to be
maintained between a regulated wetland and any development activity (14-51-6E-1). The
Ordinance does allow for buffer averaging to be permitted where an increased buffer is deemed
necessary or desirable to provide additional protection to one area of a wetland for aesthetic or
environmental reasons. The applicant has chosen to request buffer averaging, as wetlands and
wetland buffers are proposed to be impacted. As required by 14-51-6E-2, no buffer will be reduced
by more than 50% and all provided buffers will be equal to or greater than what is reduced.
Additionally, the applicant proposes a buffer reduction for the wetland located at the southeastern
corner of the subject property. According to 14 -51 -6E -3b of the City Code, a wetland buffer may
be reduced by up to 50' if the standards of the of the previously mentioned section are met, as
demonstrated by a wetland specialist. A wetland specialist has determined that all standards of
14-51-6E-2 and 14 -51 -6E -3b are met. Staff finds that the proposed buffer averaging, and buffer
reduction can be justified as demonstrated by a wetland specialist and will meet the requirements
of the City Code.
The existing wetland is comprised of approximately 0.90 acres. Approximately 14% of the existing
wetlands will be disturbed or 0.059 acres to accommodate leveling of some lots and stormwater
management. Per 14-51-6G, staff has required the applicant to provide mitigation for the proposed
disturbance to the existing wetland. Compensatory mitigation for the impacts to a 0.015 -acre
forested wetland will be provided at a ratio of 1:2. Compensatory mitigation for the southern
wetland areas will be provided at a ratio of 1:1.5. The applicant has proposed to meet the City's
wetland mitigation requirements by providing onsite wetland mitigation. Specifically, the applicant
will provide 0.096 acres of wetland to mitigate the loss of 0.059 acres of wetlands.
Woodlands — As shown in Table 2, the subject property has approximately 22.9 acres of woodlands.
The preliminary SADP shows that the development proposes to disturb 9.35 acres (55.8%) of
woodlands on the subject property. An additional 3.43 acres will remain unimpacted but located
within the 50' woodland buffer area. The disturbed woodlands and buffer area total 12.78 acres
(55.8%), leaving roughly 44.2% (10.12 acres) unimpacted which is above the 20% woodland
retention allowed per the sensitive areas ordinance.

Steep, Critical, and Protected Slopes — The subject property contains critical and protected
slopes. The impacts to these slopes are outlined in Table 3. Approximately 19.3% of critical
slopes are proposed to be impacted, which is below the 35% of critical slopes that are allowed to
be impacted per the sensitive areas ordinance. The sensitive areas ordinance only allows impacts
to protected slopes if they are manmade or needed for necessary infrastructure through a Level 11
sensitive areas review. The approximately 10.3% of protected slopes that will be impacted are
either manmade slopes or for the construction of the storm water basin.

Archaeological Sites — Staff reached out to the State archaeologist and inquired about needing
an archaeological study for the site. Staff was informed that a study was conducted in 2004 and
there are no current concerns with the site.
Neighborhood Open Space: According to section 14-5K of the City code, dedication of public
open space or fee in lieu of land dedication is addressed at the time of final platting for residential
subdivisions. Based on the 27.68 acres of RM -12 zoning, the developer would be required to
dedicate 1.87 acres to the City or pay a fee in -lieu of land dedication.
Storm Water Management: All storm water management requirements for this site are being
met in the existing regional retention basin located on the west side of Camp Cardinal Blvd and
the proposed stormwater detention basin in Outlot B. Public Works staff have reviewed and
approved the preliminary storm water management plans. Additional review will occur at the time
of final platting.
Sanitary Sewer Service: The development is serviced by a previously approved sanitary sewer
plan of improvements that was originally proposed for development on the west side of Camp
Cardinal Blvd. The proposed sanitary sewer line is located at the north end of the subject property.
Correspondence: Staff has received public correspondence (Attachment 6) from neighboring
residents voicing both concern and support for the proposed development. Generally, the
concerns expressed relate to traffic and impacts on property values.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, a public hearing will be
scheduled for consideration by the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends approval of REZ22-0001, a proposal to rezone approximately 27.68 acres of
land located east of Camp Cardinal Blvd and west of Camp Cardinal Road from Interim
Development — Research Park (ID -RP) zone to Low Density Multifamily Residential with a
Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12) zone subject to the following condition:
1 Prior to issuance of building permit, Owner shall contribute 50% of the cost of upgrading
Camp Cardinal Road to City standards. This contribution shall include 50% of the cost of
construction of the traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek Road and Camp Cardinal
Road.
Staff also recommends approval of SUB22-0001, a preliminary plat for Cardinal Heights.

TREE & SHRUB PLANTING NOTES:
1. REMOVE TOP 3 OF WIRE BASKET AND BURLAP ONCE PLACED
INTO PLANTING HOLE. REMOVE ALL SISAL AND SYNTHETIC
TWINE.
2. TRUNK FLARE SHOULD BE EXPOSED BEFORE DETERMINING
PLANTING HOLE DEPTH.
3. PLANT TREE WITH TRUNK FLARE 1-2" MAXIMUM ABOVE
ORIGINAL GRADE, AVOID PLANTING TREE TOO DEEPLY.
4. PLANTING HOLE TO BE AT MINIMUM 3 TIMES THE WIDTH OF
ROOTBALL AT SOIL SURFACE, SLOPING TO THE WIDTH OF ROOT
BALL AT BASE. PLANTING HOLE WIDTH NEAR SURFACE IS
INCREASED TO 5 TIMES THE WIDTH OF ROOTBALL WHEN SOILS
ARE HIGHLY COMPACTED OR HEAVY IN CLAY CONTENT.
5. SCARIFY PLANTING HOLE TO HELP ELIMINATE THE CREATION OF
A SOIL INTERFACE.
6. PLACE ROOTBALL ON COMPACTED & LEVELED SUBGRADE
7. REMOVE EXISTING SOIL FROM EXCAVATED PLANTING PIT AND
REPLACE WITH PLANTING SOIL. WHILE BACKFILLING, WORK
PLANTING SOIL AROUND ROOTBALL TO MINIMIZE LARGE AIR
POCKETS AND ENSURE BETTER VERTICAL SUPPORT.
8. AVOID MOUNDING MULCH & MAKING CONTACT WITH TRUNK.
FORM MULCH RING SAUCER TO HELP HOLD WATER DURING
ESTABLISHMENT. DIAMETER OF MULCH AREA SHOULD BE CLEAR

Anne,
I am an owner of Cardinal Villas at 30 and 80 Gathering Place Lane. I received notification of the
rezoning request for IC Grove East and while I am generally in favor of the request, I do have some
comments;
It appears that Deer Creek Road will be stubbed to Camp Cardinal Road with the intention of later
adding a traffic circle. If this connection is to provide 2ndary egress, it would be potentially putting
an increased amount of traffic on a section of gravel road from the intersection southward to
Gathering Place Lane.
This section of road has been the source of erosion in the form of gravel washing down into the
intersection of Camp Cardinal Road and Gathering Place Ln. The increase in traffic on the gravel
portion will create more dust and the intersection of Camp Cardinal Road and Camp Cardinal Blvd is
already a dangerous place to pull out of due to the reduced visibility on the curve and the high speed
of traffic (well above posted limit) on Camp Cardinal Blvd. Perhaps a signal at that intersection
would help.
All that being said, I like the project and I believe it will add synergy to the area.

Dear Anne,
Thank you for the note regarding this planned rezoning by Hall & Hall Engineers. I will be out of town
during your meeting.
This looks like a nice addition to our neighborhood and as a homeowner i would welcome them to our
community.
I am not on the Cardinal Ridge HOA any longer, however, was the longest serving board member in the
HOA history. I was proud to volunteer and recently welcomed other residents to take their turn. I do feel
that more than anyone else-- that I understand the wants and needs of Cardinal Ridge and feel that
—_ _---a aners would welcome this new neighbor.
All the best with your forts,

Consideration should be given to Increase in traffic on Camp Cardinal Blvd, which has already increased
substantially in the last nine years.
Aesthetically the new development could impact property value of some existing homes in that area. In my
opinion, townhomes and duplexes would fit in best rather than large apartment complex.

Dear Anne,
Re: REZ22-0001 and SUB22-0001 Cardinal Heights
My name is Mark Gedlinske, and I live at 834 Ryan Court. I am an adjoining neighbor to the
proposed rezoning property. I have several concerns about the rezoning and development
plan, and am not a supporter of the plan.
I grew up on the east side of Iowa City and went through the Iowa City schools. A few years
ago, I was in the market for a new house. Because trees were a requirement for me, I began
the search for lots that had wooded views. There were not many available! My current lot was
one of them; others were in neighboring towns. I knew that the property behind me was zoned
as a research park, and that gave me some confidence that perhaps the trees wouldn't be clear-
cut. Given the slopes and the wetlands, it actually didn't look very buildable.
If the current rezoning and development plan were approved, the result would be a dramatic
reduction in the woodlands, wetlands and wildlife habitat. It would be a huge blow to a
neighborhood that has seen the removal of hundreds of trees in the past three years.
I oppose the proposed rezoning and development plan for several significant reasons:
• Woodlands
• Drainage — and implications with the existing creek near my property
• Wildlife
Interestingly, in the Staff Report (prepared by Esther Tetteh), page 2 of the Background
Information section starts off by saying that "The site contains regulated sensitive features
including wetlands, woodlands, and slopes", and further describes that the "...Preliminary
Sensitive Areas Development Plan proposes impacts to wetlands and modifications to
the 100' wetland buffer requirement (14-5i-6), which requires a Level II Sensitive Areas
Review."
Those statements raised an immediate flag with me, since they align with my major concerns:
wetlands; woodlands; slopes. These three areas all work together, and changes to any ONE
of these will affect the others. The proposed plan describes changes to ALL three of these,
which is my first sign that perhaps this isn't a good idea.
Woodlands. The trees on the proposed property create a pleasing, natural setting. They're
beautiful and provide a wonderful canopy. But they serve a larger purpose. They provide a
habitat for wildlife and help control runoff and erosion. Roots hold the soil, stabilize the slopes,
and hold water that would otherwise run off. One area of specific concern is the northern
Page 1 of 4
section of the proposed development - the northern cul-de-sac with the duplexes on the hillside.
My concern is twofold: the severe destruction of existing trees, and the clearcutting of the slopes
where the duplexes are proposed. Not only would we lose the trees and the canopy, but would
then have additional runoff, erosion and drainage from houses built on the slope.
Here are sections from proposed Site Grading and Erosion Control document (P3.0) and
Woodland Disturbance document (P5.0).
This shows the slopes involved with the duplexes on Lots 6 and 7, and how they
encroach the critical and protected slopes.
Page 2 of 4
CONSTRUCTION
UNITS (TYP)
This shows the significant area of woodland destruction, compared to the small area of
woodland preservation on the north (the left side of the diagram).
Drainage / Creek. There is a creek that is to the south of our properties on Ryan Court. This
creek has seen varying amounts of water over time, and it seems like the water has been
increasing. The creek certainly caused erosion near the Ryan Court properties — particularly the
eastern -most, and this erosion is getting worse. My concerns are several:
- How will this be affected by drainage from the proposed Cardinal Heights development,
especially with the removal of trees? The amount of water will increase.
- How will this creek be affected by the pond — and the significant housing development -
on the west side of Camp Cardinal Boulevard? It appears that there are already signs of
increased water in the creek.
- What are the concerns with the proposed sewer line being so near this creek?
Page 3 of 4
My concerns are heightened by watching recent news of severe flooding in Missouri and
Kentucky. We should be thinking about how similar "water events" may affect us. I would not be
surprised to see the creek and surrounding areas flooded.
Wildlife. I see wildlife every day. Turkeys, deer, owls, raccoons, bees, butterflies and
numerous birds are common. Of course, any new development area destroys wildlife habitats,
but this area seems to be a key refuge. Endangered species: I remember being told at a
previous HOA meeting about a protected animal in the proposed rezoning area, and I
mentioned this at the Good Neighbor Meeting. One of the meeting presenters told us that this
was the Indiana Bat. The Indiana Bat is on the endangered list. Are there other such issues?
I strongly disagree with the rezoning and development (Case No. REZ22-001 & SUB22-001),
due to concerns about woodlands, drainage and wildlife. The proposed plan squeezes a
sizable amount of development in a small portion of the total 27.68 acre property. The proposed
development encroaches, overlaps and adjoins regulated sensitive wetlands, woodland and
slopes. It seems like a bad idea to me.

Note: Several years ago, a path of existing trees was cut down in the proposed rezoning area —
supposedly for a future sewer for the new development on the west side of Camp Cardinal
Boulevard. This is when our HOA was told that the timing of the cutting and removal of the
trees was limited, because of the endangered species in that area. (The trees were cut, but
never removed. This created quite an eyesore. Here is one example. My hope is that the
current property owner/developer is a much better steward of the land).

The Iowa City Piannin.g and Zoning Commission
RE: Case No.: REZ 22-0001 & SUB 22-0001
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission:
We own the property at 832 Ryan Court which adjoins the area of the proposed
rezoning and subdivision. We purchased this property in October of 2018 as a second
home. Our primary residence is in northwest Illinois. We plan to retire and
permanently reside in Iowa City within the next two years. We were attracted to this
property because of the wooded area behind our home.
We are opposed to the rezoning and the subdivision plan for the following
reasons:
• The tree canopy on the subject property is composed mostly of mature Large
trees including all the trees on the hillside overlooking our home. In addition to
providing a beautiful landscape, the trees provide a habitat for wildlife and control
runoff and erosion down the hill to the creek that borders our property. One of the
reasons we purchased our home was that we were confident in looking at other
developments in Iowa City that the city was very pro -active in preserving green space
between subdivisions, As stated in the City's Comprehensive Plan "the city should
encourage subdivisions to not only preserve environmental areas but incorporate them
as assets in the overall development for public open space." The proposed plan does not
meet this objective. Specifically, Lot 6 and Lot 7 (see the drawing attached to this letter)
will be built on the sensitive slope which overlooks our home. These units should not be
built on the slope and the tree canopy should not be removed in this area for two
reasons. First, to preserve green space between our subdivision and the new
development. Second, to stabilize the slope and preserve erosion control into the creek
behind our home.
2
• We are concerned regarding the storm management plan, not just for the
riew development but for the entire neighborhood given the expansive development
which has occurred to the west of Camp Cardinal Boulevard. The staff report indicates
that all storm water management requirements are being met in the existing regional
retention basin located on the west side of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and the proposed
storm water retention basin in Outlot B of the proposed project. However, with the
development of Cardinal Point West and Grove Condominiums LLC, all of the tree
canopy and erosion control on the west side of Camp Cardinal Boulevard has been or
will be removed. We want to be assured that the existing storm water management plant
has taken into account all of the development west of Camp Cardinal. Can the city
assure us that in the event of a St. Louis or Kentucky type of rain event that the existing
pond on the west side of Camp Cardinal will control all of the runoff or is there a
possibility that the pond could overflow Camp Cardinal Boulevard which would put
our homes in jeopardy?
* At some point in time, Iowa City and Coralville will need to address the
traffic situation on Camp Cardinal Boulevard. Driving on Camp Cardinal frequently
resembles a NASCAR race, and the 35 mile per hour speed limit (25 miles per hour at
the Kennedy intersection) is largely ignored, There is Little, if any, enforcement of the
speed limit by either Coralville or Iowa City, and since Camp Cardinal Boulevard.
includes a bike lane on both sides of the boulevard, it places bikers at great risk.
Adding to the traffic flow is the soon -to -open four -corner intersection being built at
Preston Lane, and with this proposed rezoning there will be another intersection at
Deer Creek Road. Further compounding the traffic congestion is the substantial amount
of construction traffic (dump trucks; cement trucks; and dirt hauling trucks) that for six
days of the week uses Camp Cardinal as access from Melrose to Second Street in
Coralville.
• Southgate and their related companies which include the owner of the
subject tract and Navigate have not been stewards of the forest or the environment.
They removed a substantial number of mature trees in March of 2019 all along the creek
which adjoins our homes. Southgate assured us at our annual HOA meeting in the fall
of 2019 that the dead trees would be removed. They are still on the property and are a
real eyesore, particularly in the winter when they are clearly visible. Further, a number
of years ago, when Southgate or their related companies turned over Outlots A & D of
Cardinal Point South (to the east of Ryan Court), they left all the silt fence and
construction debris on the property. There are hundreds of yards of silt fence and posts
which were never removed. Those properties are now owned by the HOA. We certainly
hope that this type of issue will not be allowed to occur with the proposed
development.

For the reasons stated above, we are opposing the re -zoning and subdivision
approval as proposed. Thank you for your consideration,

Dear Ms. Rusett
We share a duplex with Steve and Chris Hedlund. Their address is 864 Ryan Ct, Iowa City and our address is 862
Ryan Ct. The Hedlund's and us are adjacent to the property that is subject to the rezoning request on Camp Cardinal
Blvd. We attached our written statements that we would like the Planning and Zoning Commission to consider. We
also request that the statements be included in the administrative record for the rezoning request. Unfortunately, the
Hedlund's and us are out of town and will not be able to testify in the public meeting on Wednesday.
Dan Fishburn and Mark Gedlinske sent you written statements earlier today. We would like the record to reflect
that we agree with their statements.
We appreciate the work you and your staff have done on the rezoning request.
Sincerely

STATEMENT OF ERIK AND CAROL WINBORN
Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission
Presented on August 1, 2022
We appreciate the opportunity to submit a statement in opposition to Navigate Homes
application to rezone property located east of Camp Cardinal blvd. from Interim Development -
Research Park (ID -RP) to Low Density Multi -Family Residential with a Planned Development
Overlay (OPD/RM-12) We own a home at 852 Ryan Ct immediately adjacent to and north of
the property subject to the rezoning request. When we purchased our home in 2016, we relied
or the existing zoning on our adjacent property. We never expected that the City of Iowa City
would amend the Comprehensive Plan to indicate that 8-16 Dwelling Units/Acre would be
appropriate in the property at issue.
We prepared our statement based on information from the following:
• Information provided by Navigate Homes representatives during a February 1, 2022,
virtual meeting.
• The location map and Draft Planned Development Overlay Plan and Preliminary Plat
enclosed with a letter from Ms. Anne Russett, Senior Planner, Neighborhood and
Development Services, dated July 6, 2022
• A cursory analysis of the Staff Report reviewing the rezoning application. Since the Staff
Report was published on July 29, 2022, we didn't have the opportunity closely analyze
the Staff Report.
We strongly urge the City of Iowa City to deny the application to rezone the property as
requested by Navigate Homes, The proposed rezoning and Planning Development Overlay will
significantly harm our property, our neighborhood, the City of Iowa City, and the environment.
The harm includes the following:
• Storrnwater runoff from the development will cause serious erosion on the creek south
of our home.
• Stormwater runoff will pollute the creek, Clear Creek, and the Iowa River (the creek
flows into Clear Creek, a tributary of the Iowa River)
• The development will destroy woodlands, trees, and greenspace.
• The development will be harmful to wildlife, including bobcats, wild turkeys, fox,
coyotes, and bald eagles that pass through the woodlands along the creek.
1
+ The development detracts from the residential and natural character of our
neighborhood and will harm our property values.
Our most serious objection to the proposed rezoning and development plan is that it will
damage the environment in our area and streams downstream from where we live. We
understand from comments made by Navigate Homes and Planning and Zoning Commission
staff that stormwater runoff on the north side of the development will be diverted into a
retaining pond on the west side of Camp Cardinal Blvd. After a heavy rain, pond water
immediately rises over the outlet drain in the pond and rushes down the creek behind us
causing erosion, The erosion has become worse since 2016 as development increases on the
west side of Camp Cardinal, The creek is dark Tike a Colorado stream in a burn area after a
heavy rain. Navigate's application with IC Grove East's development plan in the agenda packet
does not cover the stormwater runoff environmental impact and erosion along the creek
flowing from the retention pond to Clear Clark. Moreover, the Staff Report does not address
the problem.
A representative of Navigate Homes promised us a copy of their drainage plan during a virtual
meeting held on February 1, 2022. Navigate Homes never provided us the promised copy. We
would like a copy so that we can have an independent expert review the plan. Navigate Hames
drainage plan must include expert analysis of how stormwater runoff will impact the rezoned
property, the creek, and our property. We would life the City Engineer to review the plan and
seek our comments on the plan.
If the City of Iowa City approves the rezoning and development, we request that Navigate
Homes be required to protect and restore the creek behind our home by reducing stream bank
erosion, minimizing the dawn -cutting of the stream bed when constructing the planned sewer
line, and restoring the natural stream system. As part of the restoration, we urge that rocks,
logs, and native plants be used to slow down the stormwater.
In addition, the stormwater diversion into the pond will pollute the creek behind us, Clear
Creek, and the Iowa River. The stormwater runoff from the development's streets, driveways,
and roofs will include chemicals, fertilizers, construction debris, pet waste, petroleum products,
and winter deicing chemicals. The development will remove and destroy vegetation on the
north slope that would have absorbed and filtered water into the soil. The Staff Report does
not address the pollution problem caused by the development and how Navigate Hames will
prevent pollution.
The trees on the property at issue are majestic. They overlook the hillside, creek, and rise
above Ryan Court. They are home to numerous bird species and fireflies shine on summer
nights from the grass and low-lying shrubs to the tops of the trees. The City's Comprehensive
2
Plan states that "the City should encourage subdivisions that not only preserve environmental
areas but that incorporate them as assets in the overall development or public open space,"
We urge that any rezoning restrict development and removal of trees and greenspace on the
north slope of the property to protect environmentally sensitive areas, regulated slopes, and
the stream corridors in the property. The Staff Report at page 7 points out that the subject
property has 22,9 acres of woodland, and the development will only preserve 10.12 acres of
woodland (44,2%). Fora City that prides itself in protecting the environment and woodlands,
the destruction of the woodlands is unacceptable. If the City of Iowa City does not regulate the
construction and development an hillsides and woodlands along Camp Cardinal Blvd, driving
down Camp Cardinal will be like driving through West Virginia looking at mountain tops
permanently scarred by coal strip mining.
A plethora of wildlife travel along the creek behind our home and fly overhead in the trees
above the creek. Deer, wild turkeys, bobcats, coyotes, and fox walk along the creek and hawks
and owls sit in the trees above the creek, Four years ago, a bald eagle perched in a tree behind
us staring at us and surveying the woodlands. When we took his picture, he posed for us. We
suspect other bald eagles have perched closer to the retention pond looking for fish. The
proposed development on the north slope of the property will harm their habitat.
Since the development as originally proposed will damage regulated slopes, interfere with
natural drainage on the north facing slope of the development, and cause erosion on the slope
due to removal of trees and vegetation on the slope, we urge the City Engineer to closely
scrutinize the proposed development. We're confident the City Engineer will ensure our
environment is protected and Navigate's plan complies with local, state, and federal
environmental laws and regulations.
We also urge that the Planning and Zoning Commission delay consideration of the rezoning
request to give the public more opportunity to comment. Although the development will
significantly impact our neighborhood, the rezoning application appears to be on a fast track as
directed by IC Grove East, LLC and then Navigate Homes dating back to January 2022. This is
when the City of Iowa City Comprehensive Plan was updated to indicate that 8-16 DU/A would
be an appropriate land use for the property at issue. Although aur neighborhood wrote to the
Planning and Zoning Commission in October 2018 expressing our concerns with potential
rezoning, we weren't specifically asked to comment on proposed updates to the
Comprehensive Plan, The City of Iowa City did not conduct public workshops and hearings for
questions and comments on the proposed update (We attached a copy of our October 12,
2018, letter). The Comprehensive Plan describes how extensively the City of Iowa City sought
public participation in preparing the original Comprehensive Plan several years ago. The Plan
describes public workshops the City of Iowa City conducted on the east and west sides of the
3
Iowa River in 2012 as part of the public participation process. The City of Iowa City didn't follow
this process in updating the Plan in January 2022 even though the updated Plan severely
impacts cur neighborhood.
The Staff Report does not mention the October 12th letter. The Staff Report on page 7
describes public correspondence expressing concerns about traffic and property values. Our
objections are much more important than traffic and property values. Our objections go to the
very core of being stewards of our environment and preserving wetlands, woodlands, and
streams.
Page 17 of the Staff Report contains a summary report of the "Good Neighbor Meeting"
conducted by Zoom on February 1, 2022. It was nice that we were invited to participate in the
meeting. However, our recollection of the meeting is different than what is described in the
summary's general comments. The summary states that "Neighbors were not particularly
excited about potentially losing some privacy and seeing the private woodland area behind
their home being disturbed." Since this was a "Goad Neighbor Meeting", we didn't view the
meeting as an advocacy session. Our goal was to gather more information about the proposed
development and offer constructive suggestions. We asked questions about storrnwater
runoff, stream erosion, removal of trees and green space, pollution, and the proximity of the
project to homes en Ryan Court. Navigate's answers were vague and never addressed the
environmental problems posed by the development. We submitted our statement today,
August 14t to give staff the opportunity to amend their Staff Report to reflect the deep
opposition that our neighborhood has to the project.
We received a letter dated July 6, 2022, announcing the Planning and Zoning Commission
would review the rezoning application from IC Grove East, LLC and receive comments at a
public meeting tentatively scheduled for July 20, 2021 We understand IC Grove East, LLC
requested a delay, The Planning and Zoning Commission is now scheduled to meet on August
3, 2022, to consider an application from Navigate Homes to rezone the property that IC Grove
East, LLC earlier requested be rezoned. The planning documents in the Staff Report reference
IC Grove East, LLC. Are these companies related? Will Navigate Homes submit their own
documents to support their rezoning application request? When we attended the "Good
Neighbor Meeting" we were never told who would be applying for the rezoning. Under well-
established environmental laws, regulations, and case law the property owner bears ultimate
responsibility for compliance with environmental laws and regulations and is responsible for
fines and penalties. Who owns the property? Does Navigate Homes have standing to apply for
the rezoning? If so, they haven't provided any documents to support their application.
After we attended the February 1, 2022, meeting we didn't hear anything from Navigate Homes
regarding aur questions and fallow -up. Suddenly in July there appeared to be a rush to apply
4
for rezoning and conduct a public meeting. This fast-track process disadvantages the property
owners on Ryan Court because we and our outside experts have not had time to review the
petitioner's development and drainage plans prior to the August 3rd public meeting. In
addition, we have the issue of who is the applicant and do they have the capability to develop
the property in an environmentally responsible manner.
Due to the issues we raised in our statement, we request that the Planning and Zoning
Commission delay action until we have time determine who is the applicant, are they a
responsible developer, and how will the development impact our neighborhood and the
environment. Another reason for the delay would be to give us time to submit our petition in
opposition to the rezoning. Cur neighborhood is unanimous in opposition to the rezoning and
development. We need until the end of August to secure notarized signatures on the petition
from all the property owners on Ryan Court.
Iowa City is a great place to live and work. The City of Iowa City focuses an people, the
environment, education, sustainability, inclusion, diversity, equality, and culture. We
respectfully urge that the City of Iowa City continue its emphasis on the environment by either
rejecting the rezoning request or accepting the rezoning request subject to substantial changes
to the development plan that would prevent development on the north slope, preserve
woodlands, and control stormwater runoff to protect the creek behind our home, Clear Creek,
and the Iowa River.

Mr. Michael H. Hensch
Chairman
Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission
410 E. Washington St.
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Chairman Hensch:
October 12, 2018
We are homeowners in the Cardinal Pointe Subdivision in western Iowa City near Camp
Cardinal Boulevard and are members of the Cardinal Pointe South Homeowners Association.
We would like to express our concerns in advance of what could he a request to rezone 27,68
acres of property (Parcel ID 1112401008) south of our l or es and subdivision. The property is
owned by Iowa City Grove LLC (a Southgate company) and is zoned Interim Development -
Research Park. The Iowa City Assessor classifies the property as agriculture property with an
assessed value of $20,410 and the owner will pay $148 in taxes for tax year 2017.
Urban Acres Reals Estate recently listed the property for sale for Iowa City grove LLC. The
property is listed for sale for $1,990,880 and is described as "tremendous development land
with great potential for a multi-farnily subdivision." The real estate listing includes pictures and
preliminary site layouts for high-density mufti -family units.
When we purchased our Maines, our builder, Advantage Custom Builders (ACB), and AC6's
realtor, Urban Acres, promised most of us that the wooded area and wetlands south of our
property would not be developed and that it was protected by a restrictive covenant, We paid
a premium for our homes relying on these promises. in addition, we and our realtors were
aware that the Comprehensive Plan did not allow for the construction of high-density multi-
family units on the property, We never expected anyone would seek to rezone the property to
change the character of our neighborhood.
We fully support Iowa City's vision expressed in the Comprehensive Plan for the policy of
growth and development in our neighborhood and western Iowa City. We expect Southgate
and any future owner of the property adjacent to our subdivision would use the property in
compliance with the Comprehensive Plan and Iowa City's zoning requirements. if the property
owner petitions to rezone the property, we expect the owner's proposed use would also
comply with the Comprehensive Plan.
As neighboring homeowners directly impacted by any request to rezone the property, we will
closely follow any discussion to rezone the property. We understand that the Planning and
Zoning Commission has detailed rules that allow for public input in the rezoning process_ We
appreciate the Commission's requirements for notice, analysis, comment, and a hearing and
the Commission's reputation for fairness.
We would like it known to the owner and a future owner of the property at issue that we would
firmly oppose any attempt to rezone the property for high-density multi -family units as
advertised by Urban Acres Real Estate's property listing. if the property owner petitions to
rezone the property for high-density multi-fan,iiy units, we would have a number of concerns
with the rezoning, including the following:
• The rezoning would not be consistent with Iowa City's Comprehensive Plan.
• The rezoning is not necessary, since there is sufficient property on the west side of Iowa
City for high-density multi -family residential use,
• The rezoning would not be consistent with surrounding residential use,
• The rezoning would hurt our property values after we had relied on the zoning
established in the Comprehensive Pian.
• The rezoning would adversely impact public safety by causing an undue and unplanned
burden on fire protection, police protection, and other emergency services.
• The rezoning would significantly increase traffic and would affect the safely of children
in the subdivision, including their travel to and from Rorlaug Elementary schools and
other schools.
• The rezoning would impact the safety of bicyclists, who regularly travel along Camp
Cardinal Road (a popular travel route for bicyclists oa the west side of Iowa City).
• The rezoning will lead to construction and development that will harm the streams and
wetlands in and around the property_
We look forward to working with the Planning and Zoning Commission on future development
initiatives to ensure that Iowa City remains a unique and appealing place to live for people of all
ages as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan_

STATEMENT OF STEVE AND CHRIS HEDLUND
Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission
Presented on August 1, 2022
Thank you for the opportunity to state our opposition to Navigate Homes' application to rezone
property located east of Camp Cardinal Blvd. from Interim Development -Research Park (ID -RP)
to Low Density Multi -Family Residential with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12).
We own a horne at 864 Ryan Ct. Our home is a duplex, Our neighbors in the duplex are Erik
and Carol Winbarn_ We are adjacent to the northeast corner of the property subject to the
rezoning request. Before we offer our views of the rezoning request, we agree with the
statement Erik and Carol Winborn submitted on August 1, 2022. We incorporate their
statement with our statement.
We have lived in Iowa City for over 5D years and have been active in the community supporting
charitable and civic activities_ We are proud to be citizens of Iowa City and have devoted time
and energy to make Iowa City a better place to live and work. When Steve practiced dentistry,
he routinely provided free dental care to the underserved.
As longtime citizens of Iowa City, we are disappointed that the City of Iowa City did not actively
seek our input when it amended the Comprehensive Plan to support rezoning of the property
at issue to 8-15 Dwelling Units/Acre, We joined our neighbors in sending a letter (a copy is
attached) to the Planning and Zoning Commission in October 2018 objecting to rezoning
without input. No one replied to our letter, and no one specifically asked for our views of
proposed changes to the Comprehensive Plan. We're also disappointed that it appears the City
of Iowa City is rapidly considering the rezoning application without giving us time to review the
request, seek outside expert advice, and submit comments. We expect better from the City.
We built our home in 2014 and were the first residents to live beside the property to be
rezoned, When we built our home, we never dreamed that we would be fighting the battle we
are fighting today to preserve the environment behind our home and the character of our
neighborhood. Nobody foresaw that the Comprehensive Plan would be amended to support
high density development and that a developer would request rezoning for a development that
would damage our property with stormwater runoff, significantly reduce woodlands, and
threaten the sensitive area behind our home.
The applicant proposes to drain stormwater runoff into a retention pond on the west side of
Camp Boulevard. The pond drains into a creek that runs on the south side of our home and
then makes a sharp turn north on the east side of our house, Our property line is Tess than 10
yards from the creek. The creek has been significantly eroding during the eight years we have
lived in our home. Erosion has become worse as development increases on the west side of
Carnp Cardinal Blvd. Stormwater runoff is diverted into the pond versus being absorbed by
trees, vegetation, and soil. For example, a large section of creekbank collapsed last year into
the creek after a heavy rain. Heavy rains cause the pond to overflow and water races down the
creek eroding the banks. If the development is approved, the runoff in our creek will include
pollutants from the streets, yards, and roofs of homes and buildings in the development,
We can't tell from the agenda whether Navigate Homes or JC Grove East, LLC is the applicant.
In any case, neither party addressed how they will control stormwater runoff. If the rezoning
and development is approved, it is imperative that the approval be subject to restoring the
creek beside our home to prevent future erosion.
We also oppose the rezoning application and development due to its impact on the woodlands
and sensitive areas behind our home and the homes of our neighbors. As the Staff Report
indicates, the development will preserve only 10.12 acres of the 22.9 acres of woodland on the
subject property. The woodlands are close to environmentally sensitive areas, including the
area behind our house. We urge the City to limit the area to be developed to preserve the
woodlands. These woodlands protect our watershed, sensitive areas, and are home to wildlife.
The woodlands must be preserved.
The Comprehensive Plan's Community Vision Statement stresses the City will strive to protect
and enhance the environment and encourage responsible use of our naturaf resources. The
Comprehensive Plan an page 6 describes the City's broad support for riverfront improvements
to make it more attractive and a focal paint for the entire community. The rezoning and
proposed development detracts from these initiatives by destroying woodlands and causing
polluted stormwater runoff and silt from eroded creekbanks to flow through the Iowa City
riverfront.
We also agree with Erik and Carol Wiriborn and our other neighbors in urging the Planning and
Zoning Commission to delay consideration of the rezoning request to give the public more
opportunity to comment. Although the development will significantly impact our
neighborhood, we been given only 5 days to review the application and the Staff Report. It
obviously took the applicant or another entity months to prepare the rezoning request and
accompanying documents. It's impossible for us to review and prepare comments on the
application in 5 days. As 50 -year residents of Iowa City, we have never experienced this rush to
judgment.
In closing we urge that the City of Iowa City deny the rezoning request and Planned
Development Overlay. If the City approves the rezoning, we request that the rezoning be
subject to substantial changes to the Planned Development Overlay. The Overlay should not
allow development of the north slope of the property to preserve woodlands, wetlands, and
the creek beside our property. The applicant should also be required to restore the creek and
prevent stormwater runoff that will cause erosion in the future and pollution from stormwater
runoff.

Rezoning concerns
Tuesday, August 2, 2022 2:34:39 PM
Commimission Members,
Subject rezoning South of Ryan Ct.:
Our major concerns are drainage and the removal of trees coming down the slope toward our
homes. We are going to request that the two buildings at the north end of the project shown
on the plan (4 units) be eliminated so that trees will not be removed coming down the hill.
We also want the City to understand that we have major concerns with drainage. We are
experiencing erosion in the drainage creek behind our homes, particularly at the east end. We
believe the City needs to update the storm water management plan for the entire area given
all of the recent construction activity.

Iowa City Zoning Hearing August 3
Tuesday, August 2, 2022 8:21:32 PM
We are Michael and Cindy Lebsack and live at 802 Ryan Court, Iowa City. We share the
same concerns and agree without reservation on all points listed in the letters written by our
neighbors (Hedlunds and Winborns).
We look forward to attending the upcoming meeting on August 3rd to convey our support for
the opposition of this project.
Thank you.

STATEMENT OF JOHN & DONNA MULLER AUGUST 3, 2022
RE: REZONING APPLICATION BY NAVIGATE HOMES
As owners of a property at 854 Ryan Ct. in Iowa City purchased 11/2014, we were
informed by both realtor and builder for the sub -division the property directly south of our
property would not be developed as it was had restrictive covenant that protected it from
removing this green space and certainly had strong impression on the purchase of this
property. Obviously, that changed with the future development of the west side of Iowa
City.
In October 2018 we joined other Cardinal Pointe association members in requesting a
meeting to voice our concerns with the future development impact to our properties with
the construction of the real estate west of Camp Cardinal Blvd. As trees were downed
but not cleared the landscape was forever changed and even though this is west of a
most busy street the impact on our properties has been immediate and continues. A
copy of this joint letter has previously been provided you.
As we had in 1990-92 personally developed a smaller parcel of land we were made
aware of Planning and Zoning Commission's commitment to preservation of green
space and woodlands as we negotiated over several months with adjoining property
owners in answering their concerns regarding water run-off, drainage issues and
naturally preserving the abundant assortment of trees. That we know continues yet
today in the future development in all of Iowa City and thus the reason for my letter to
request the delay in approval of this rezoning application.
Fellow association members have submitted similar requests to stop this fast -tracking
approval as there are issues that need to be addressed that in a zoom meeting in
February 2022 were brushed aside and not fully addressed. With the current run off from
the west side developments and the future sewer extension to be place next to what was
once a clear running stream at the base of my property to now a dirty, muddy out of the
banks catch basin for the entire area that will only become more severe than there must
be remedies that need to be addressed.
I see that this was delayed as requested by Navigate Homes from approval decision a
month earlier so it would ne prudent and simply logical for addressing my and others in
the Cardinal Pointe Association concerns. The letter from Erik Winborn asks multiple
questions that have not been properly addressed. As my last resort to ger this rezoning
delayed we are requesting the declination of this application until these concerns are
addressed.

Craig stated if there is support, she would like to amend her motion to allow more
flexibility for other businesses that may come in and include an allowable opening time of
6:00 a.m.
Elliott seconded the amendment.
Craig is very excited to see something going back in this building, it was sad to see it sit empty.
Hensch agreed noting it's a perfect use to have as Neighborhood Commercial and supports it.
A vote was taken and the motion with amendment passed 6-0.
CASE NO. REZ22-0001 & SUB22-0001:
Location: East of Camp Cardinal Blvd and west of Camp Cardinal Rd
An application for a rezoning of approximately 27.68 acres of land from Interim Development -
Research Park (ID -RP) zone to Low Density Multi -Family zone with a Planned Development
Overlay (OPD/RM-12) and an application for a preliminary plat of Cardinal Heights, a residential
subdivision with 22 duplex lots and 1 multi -family lot.
Tetteh began the staff report showing the area of the site which is east of Cardinal Boulevard
and west of Camp Cardinal Road. The subject property is currently zoned ID -RP which allows
only plant related agriculture or hold a property until it is prepared for a use to be identified.
North of the site is zoned RS -8, to the east is RS -5 and ID -RS and west is RM -12 with a Planned
Development Overlay. The applicant is proposing to extend Duck Creek Road to provide access
to the development. The proposal is to rezone 27.68 acres of land to Low Density Multi -Family
zone with a Planned Development Overlay. The RM -12 zone provides for high-density single-
family housing and low-density multifamily housing. It also provides for diversity in the housing
types. The Planned Development Overlay allows a mixture of uses; however additional criteria
set forth in the multifamily sites development standards must be met. The preliminary OPD and
Sensitive Areas Development Plan proposes a total of 23 lots and the applicant is proposing 22
duplexes, 4 townhomes and 30 multifamily units. The 4 townhomes and 30 multifamily units will
be located on lot 23 and the 22 duplexes will be located on lots 1 to 22. The development is also
proposing a cul-de-sac and one loop street for traffic circulation on the site. The preliminary
Sensitive Areas Development Plan also includes woodlands, wetlands and slopes.
Tetteh stated Planned Development Overlay applications are reviewed in compliance with the
following standards according to Article 14-3A of the Iowa City Ordinance. The first standard is
the density and design is compatible with and/or complementary to the adjacent development,
second is the development will not to overburden existing streets and utilities, third is the
development will not adversely affect views, property values and privacy, fourth is the land use
and building types will be in the public interest. The rezoning is also reviewed according to two
criteria, first consistency with the Comprehensive Plan and two, compatibility with the existing
neighborhood.
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 3, 2022
Page 6 of 15
The first criteria as density and design is compatible with adjacent development. The OPD/RM-
12 zone allows 15 dwelling units per acre. The applicant is proposing 3.1 dwelling units per acre
with 78 dwelling units for the entire site. They are also proposing two family uses which are
duplexes and multifamily uses which will be an extension of the existing duplex and multifamily
developments in the area. The preliminary OPD also shows garage fronts in the front facade of
the of the duplexes. The OPD requires that access to garages needs to be from an alley or the
rear of buildings, however if the garages are accessed from the front of the buildings, they need
to be recessed in order not to dominate the streetscape. The applicant is aware of this and this
will also be checked at building permit and site plan stages. Tetteh showed a rendering of the
proposed 30 -unit multifamily building. The development is proposing 10,000 square feet of
private open space on site for the townhomes and the 30 -unit multifamily which exceeds the
required 580 square feet. They are also providing 300 square feet of onsite open space for each
duplex. The applicant is also proposing to construct Maclan Court and Maclan Loop to provide
access to the site. The development will be accessed of off Camp Cardinal Blvd through an
extension of Deer Creek Road. A secondary access will be provided by Camp Cardinal Road in
future when it is constructed, and a traffic circle will also be constructed at that time. As a
condition of the rezoning staff is recommending that prior to the issuance of building permits the
owner contributes 50% of the cost of upgrading Camp Cardinal Road to City standards. This
50% will include the traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek Road and Camp Cardinal
Road.
Regarding the second criteria, the subject property is serviced by both sanitary sewer and water.
The stormwater management requirements are being met in the existing stormwater regional
detention basin west of Camp Cardinal Boulevard. The development is also proposing a new
stormwater management detention basin in outlot B. The development consists of two outlots,
approximately 16.61 acres of land, to be placed in a conservation easement.
For the third criteria Tetteh noted the closest neighbors will be to the north and southeast of the
subject property. To the north they are separated by approximately 13.7 acres of woodland in
outlot A. Southeast of the property is also separated by woodland in outlot B. This development
will not impact neighboring residents more than any conventional development.
Moving on to criteria number four, land use and building types will be in the interest of the public.
The applicant is not requesting for any waivers from the underlying zoning requirements. The
proposal also incorporates two-family uses and multifamily uses which will provide housing
diversity in the housing types. They are also proposing 60% of the site area will be contained in
the outlots A and B. The proposed developments balances environmental protection with the
need for increased housing.
Tetteh stated there is not a district plan for the proposed site and the Future Land Use map of
the Comprehensive Plan allows 8 to 16 dwelling units per acre. As noted earlier, the applicant is
proposing 3.1 dwelling units per acre, which is below what is allowed. The Comprehensive Plan
also encourages diversity in the housing types the applicant is proposing 2 -family uses and
multifamily uses. The Plan also encourages the preservation of sensitive areas and guide
developments away from such areas. As noted the development is proposing to preserve 60% of
the site area. The Plan encourages pedestrian oriented development and attractive and
functional streetscapes that make it safe, convenient and comfortable to walk. This development
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 3, 2022
Page 7 of 15
proposes sidewalks around the proposed streets and also connects to the existing sidewalk
system around Camp Cardinal Boulevard. The Comprehensive Plan discourages cul-de-sacs
however, the due to sensitive features on the site it is necessary.
Regarding compatibility with the existing neighborhood, to the north the sites there are duplexes,
which the applicant is proposing as well. To the east there are multifamily uses and to the west
are growth sites which will provide for new multifamily buildings.
Tetteh noted the proposed development will impact wetlands and man-made slopes, hence the
level two sensitive areas review as required by the Commission and City Council. The sensitive
areas ordinance requires 100 feet buffer between wetlands and developments, wetland buffer
averaging may be permitted when necessary, and as justified by a wetland specialist. The
applicant is proposing a wetland buffer averaging to the northeast wetland to accommodate
leveling of some lots. The applicant is also proposing a wetland reduction buffer for the southeast
wetland which also needs to be justified by a wetland specialist. The size consists of
approximately 0.90 acres of wetland and 0.059 acres are proposed to be disturbed. The
applicant is proposing to mitigate the wetlands on site by the ratio of 1:2 for the northeast
wetland and 1:1.5 for the southeast wetland. The site also consists of critical slopes of which
there are 7.55 acres of critical slopes, of which 1.46 acres are proposed to be impacted, which is
19.3%. The City Code allows up to 35% of disturbance. There are also 1.26 acres of protected
man-made slopes of which 0.13 acres will be impacted. The site has 22.9 acres of woodland,
the proposed development will impact 12.78 acres, which is 55.8%. An additional 3.43 acres will
remain unimpacted but will be located in a 50 -foot wetland buffer area. A total 10.12 acres of
woodland would be preserved which is 44.2%. The required woodland retention rates is 20%,
which this development is above. Staff reached out to the state archaeologist, and it was noted
that a study was conducted in 2004 and there are no current concerns with the site.
Russett stated related to the preliminary plat portion of this application, Tetteh covered most of
that, but Russett wanted to summarize what the applicant is proposing with the platting. Again,
it's 22 duplex lots and one multifamily lot. Outlot A to the north of the site is around 13 acres and
that will be for open space which will be maintained by the homeowner's association. Outlot B to
the southern end of the site will be for stormwater management and open space to be managed
by the homeowner's association. There will be a conservation easement area which will be land
that will be protected from development in the future. Staff has received several questions on
how stormwater will be managed, stormwater will be accommodated by the existing regional
basin located on the west side of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and by an onsite stormwater basin
on the southeast corner of the site and outlot B. Russett showed an image that was prepared by
Hall & Hall Engineering to show the location of the site that will drain to the onsite basin and the
general direction of water flow. The regional basin was designed to accommodate future
development in this area including the site of the proposed rezoning. The City stormwater
specialist visited the site this afternoon and he noted that all basin inlets structures are open and
their discharge drainage ways show no signs of erosion. He also took a look at the creek at the
northern end of the site to examine any signs of erosion and did note that the slope north of the
basin there's about 15 feet of the area that does show signs of erosion on the north end of the
creek. He was only able to make it in about 150 feet from Camp Cardinal Boulevard because the
area is heavily vegetated but for the most part, the creek is heavily vegetated and there weren't
any signs of erosion except for that portion on the north end. Public Works staff has reviewed the
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 3, 2022
Page 8 of 15
preliminary stormwater management plan as well as the plat and those have been approved. In
terms of neighborhood open space, the City does require the dedication of public open space or
a fee in lieu at the time of planning. Based on the 27 acres in the RM -12 zone, the developer
would be required to dedicate 1.87 acres of land to the City or pay a fee in lieu of land
dedication, and in this case that fee in lieu would be appropriate.
Russett noted staff received several pieces of correspondence from neighboring residents. This
information has been passed on to the Commission. There were two letters expressing support
for the rezoning and preliminary plat. There were several pieces of correspondence that
expressed concerns related to traffic, impact on property values, stormwater, woodland impacts
etc.
Staff recommends approval of REZ22-0001, a proposal to rezone approximately 27.68 acres of
land located east of Camp Cardinal Blvd and west of Camp Cardinal Road from Interim
Development - Research Park (ID -RP) zone to Low Density Multifamily Residential with a
Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12) zone subject to the following condition:
1. Prior to issuance of building permit, Owner shall contribute 50% of the cost of upgrading
Camp Cardinal Road to City standards. This contribution shall include 50% of the cost
of construction of the traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek Road and Camp
Cardinal Road.
Staff also recommends approval of SUB22-0001, a preliminary plat for Cardinal Heights.
In terms of next steps, upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission staff
will request that Council set a public hearing for September 6.
Hensch asked if for the erosion on the north creek, can there be some requirements made to a
restoration of that erosion. Russett noted the sanitary sewer is going to run along the creek and
needs to be constructed. Public Works staff has approved to provide sanitary sewer to the west
side of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and when that gets installed and the City receives construction
drawings for the layout, Public Works will be looking at things like erosion and what needs to be
mitigated.
Hensch asked if there will be a sidewalk on the east side of the development, particularly from
the new street with the proposed roundabout down to where Gathering Place Lane would be so if
somebody lived there and wanted to walk to that church they could. It seems like a good idea if
they're going to build a road there to put a sidewalk. Russett said they are asking the applicant
to contribute to the construction of Camp Cardinal Road so it would be a City project and at that
time the City would install a sidewalk.
Hensch asked about the measurement from the north property line to the closest residential lot in
the development north of there. Russett replied it is 408 feet.
Hensch noted he was out there today and actually saw the inspector, he was looking around at
elevations and it looks like north looking south there's a decrease in elevation, then it goes back
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 3, 2022
Page 9 of 15
up. So if someone is a resident on the north side in the existing houses what they would see
now there is mature trees.
Hensch noted in the landscaping plan they will put in coniferous trees along where that sanitary
sewer is, but the brush is so thick there, will the trees go in after the sanitary sewer goes in.
Russett confirmed that was correct.
Hensch noted there wasn't a grading plan so it can be assumed that no area outside of the 23
lots will be graded, Russett confirmed that.
Hensch noted regarding the topography and the flow of water, it doesn't seem like water can flow
uphill so how is that storm drainage going to occur. Russett noted it is higher in that area and to
the northwest it gets lower so water will be flowing north and then west and into the basin.
Craig stated the plan keeps referring to 22 duplex lots and one multifamily lot but what about
those townhouses, are they on the multifamily lot. Russett confirmed they are included in the
multifamily lot.
Craig asked just for a little bit of history because she is always sympathetic to people and it was
evident from some of the comments that they got that say homeowners were told certain things
when their homes were built about zoning, and why things are zoned in sort of a holding place
for development to come. Russett noted it is because the area wasn't ready because of
infrastructure for development at the time. Most of the interim development zones ultimately get
rezoned at the time of development.
Craig had a question about the creek and the erosion, after the sewer line is put in and any
mitigation is done for the creek erosion, after that if more erosion were to occur, it is the
homeowner's responsibility to fix it. Russett noted if the creek is on private property then the
private property owners are responsible.
Hensch noted in one or two of the letters there's concern about trees that were cut down and
were never removed, are those in areas that are controlled by the HOA's. This Commission
always has concerns about HOAs who don't take care of their outlots and do the preventative
maintenance that needs to be done in these areas.
Padron asked about the multifamily building with 30 units, on the floorplan it shows like a three-
story building, but then on the elevation it shows as a four-story building. Russett noted it would
only be allowed to be 35 feet which would be no more than three stories. The maximum height in
the zone is 35 feet.
Townsend asked if any of those 78 units will be affordable housing. Not that Russett is aware of.
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 3, 2022
Page 10 of 15
Elliott asked will people in on Ryan Court be able to see these buildings. Russett is not sure,
they don't really have a any type of visual study that was done.
Hensch opened the public hearing.
Jason Walton (Director of Development, Navigate Homes) has read the report prepared by the
staff and agrees and on behalf of Navigate Homes would ask the Planning and Zoning
Commissioners to approve this plan as followed by the City's zoning ordinances.
Signs asked about the proposed multifamily building, it's proposed as a 30 -unit complex with 43
total bedrooms, so he is assuming a bunch of one -bedroom units being proposed. Are these
units going to be rental units or owner -occupied units. Walton is not sure at this point, it depends
on what the market shows but it could be a variety of both.
Signs noted on the backside of that multifamily building there seems to be some slope
adjustments being done there. Will there be a fairly substantial retaining wall there. Walton
confirmed there will be a retaining wall on the backside of the building where there parking. He
believes it will be an 8 -foot wall.
Brian Vogel (Hall and Hall Engineers) answered the question regarding elevation, that cul-de-sac
on the north end will be around 755 elevation, and the south property line is around 695 so
there's about 60 feet elevation difference from the property line to that cul-de-sac.
Hensch asked what the distance from the multifamily structure to those houses on the north side
is. Vogel replied it will be at least 800 feet or so. Hensch asked that because the concern for
neighbors and understand this is always their view. They're very used to the view they've had for
years. People are vociferously opposed to development because of their view shed changes.
Elliott asked what the people on Ryan Court will see, these buildings or trees. Vogel explained
Ryan Court is 50 feet lower than this development area but there is woodland between them and
the development.
Hensch asked regarding the trees they're going to plant after the sanitary sewer is put in. The
landscaping plan notes coniferous trees but how tall will they get. Vogel responded they will be
full trees that should get fairly tall.
Dan Fishburn (832 Ryan Court) and his wife Cindy reside in a duplex that would be the closest to
the development on Ryan Court. He also wrote a letter but wants to review some of their
concerns. First a couple of comments on the testimony, that 400 feet is going to be affected by
elevation. He doesn't know exactly how far above them those those northerly duplexes are going
to be in the development but it's not a flat surface, they're going to be significantly higher than his
home and he is sure in the wintertime after the leaves come down, there's going to be definite
sight to those northerly units and they're asking that those two lots that contain two buildings be
eliminated from the plan for that reason. To conclude that there isn't going to be any effect on
privacy rights or property values is incorrect. The issue with the trees that were cut down, that
was not an HOA issue. Southgate came in on their property three and a half years ago and took
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 3, 2022
Page 11 of 15
all the trees down in the area where they're going to put that sanitary sewer in, and they're still
there. These are large, mature trees. They don't feel that Southgate has been a particularly good
steward of the environment. They promised at the HOA meeting two and a half years ago that
those trees would be removed, particularly in the wintertime they are very unsightly. The creek
erosion, Fishburn is not sure if this creek is on the new HOA property or if it's on theirs but
believes it will be on the new Property Owners Association. That creek is served solely as
drainage for the regional basin on across the street. Fishburn noted in his letter they're
concerned about drainage and staff indicated that they're relying on a stormwater management
plan that was done quite some time ago and he wonders does that take into consideration all of
the development at Cardinal Point West, which has taken place across the street and has been
entirely recontoured. And the other parcel that was recently rezoned, which will be for Growth
Condominiums LLC, with two large buildings, all of that slopes downhill to that regional basin.
Fishburn's concern is coming down that hill and they think that green space to the top of the hill
should be preserved and those two units on the north end should be eliminated because they're
going to be within their view as that's a very steep hill there. They'd like to see that green space
preserved, it has all mature trees on it, as far as putting these new trees in that may help
somebody 50 years from now when those trees grow up to be 50 or 60 feet tall but in the short
run, new trees aren't going to block their view at all. He will be long gone before those new trees
they that they're putting in will provide any privacy, but they do appreciate it. Their area that
adjoins the outlot, that outlot does not have any trees, that's just bare land and it's kind of
developed into a natural prairie. They're concerned about the sightlines. Fishburn also did say
something in his letter about the traffic situation, which he realizes isn't really their issue but
sooner or later, Camp Cardinal Boulevard traffic is going to need to be addressed in terms of
speed limits with bicycle riders and heavy construction traffic. Overall they are concerned about
the sightlines and concerned about the stormwater management plan. Fishburn pointed to what
happened in St. Louis and Kentucky the last two weeks and if they have a rain event like that, is
that basin going to be able to handle it or are they going to be in a situation where they could
potentially have water come over that road. On Ryan Court there are seven buildings with 14
owners, they're all duplexes in that circle there, are all adjacent property owners. They would ask
that the Commission take all these matters into consideration, and at the very least modify the
plan.
Mark Gedlinske (834 Ryan Court) stated he is in the same duplex that Dan Fishburn is in and
agree absolutely with all of his comments and notes. Gedlinske would like to highlight a couple
things, his concern, just like Fishburn's, is on the northern end. Those in that part of the cul-de-
sac that he'll be looking at from his house. He can stand out on his deck right now and look
straight across at the base of those trees, the trees that will be gone, and duplexes will be built
there. So he will look out the back of his house, look up the hill, and he'll be able to see the
people sitting on their decks in their backyards, and they'll be able to look and watch everything
he's doing in his house. So from a privacy perspective, he certainly thinks this is reducing his
privacy, his view, probably his property values. So the statement that was made that this is not
going to have an effect, he just doesn't understand that at all. Anytime there is that drastic
removal of the trees, it's just a painful to see. He also would like to see if those duplexes on the
north end could be moved back or eliminated or something just to get them off that downward
Planning and Zoning Commission

Page 12 of 15
slope, that would be much better, it'd be easy to hide things behind trees up there. The other
thing with that downward slope is everything from those northern duplexes he doesn't know how
can possibly drain across Camp Cardinal and into the pond, it's going to run right down and
follow gravity down into the creek and further cause either some erosion of that area or run offs
of whatever fertilizer and pesticides that's all going to come right down the hill. There isn't any
way to defy gravity. Gedlinske has this image of houses on a hillside out in Los Angeles, and
they're overlooking everybody else and that's what they're going to end up with here. He'd like to
see if that that plan could be moved a little bit or those properties move back south to get them
off that downward slope. The one thing that hasn't been brought up is they've heard over the
years that there is an Indiana bat that is an endangered species that's on that property.
Gedlinske is unsure if it's still there and doesn't know who monitors that or what the effect of this
development is. They heard that brought up in the past when that swath of a 40- or 50 -foot area
of trees was cut down, the trees that are still lying there. The timing had to be right to not disturb
the Indiana bat. He doesn't know if they have resources to take a look at that but it's a concern
that was brought up and then never mentioned. Otherwise he agrees with all Fishburn's other
points.
Hensch closed the public hearing.
Signs moved to recommends approval of REZ22-0001, a proposal to rezone approximately
27.68 acres of land located east of Camp Cardinal Blvd and west of Camp Cardinal Road
from Interim Development - Research Park (ID -RP) zone to Low Density Multifamily
Residential with a Planned Development Overlay (OPD/RM-12) zone subject to the
following condition:
1. Prior to issuance of building permit, Owner shall contribute 50% of the cost of
upgrading Camp Cardinal Road to City standards. This contribution shall include
50% of the cost of construction of the traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek
Road and Camp Cardinal Road.
Signs also recommends approval of SUB22-0001, a preliminary plat for Cardinal Heights.
Townsend seconded the motion.
Signs began by reiterating a statement he has made many times, if you don't own the property,
you don't have control of property. That's the mantra he has espoused in the six some years he's
been on the Commission. He also finds the view shed argument questionable and noted that the
poor people on top of the hill in the new duplexes will have to look down the back of duplexes at
the bottom of the hill so how is that any different. Regarding the removal of trees, he agrees with
the concern, and has noted it before, of Southgate's stewardship of some of the properties they
have, and in some of the disturbances they do, but it is probably within their right as a property
owner to do it. He also wanted to note the distances here are 400 to 1000 feet of distance
between the new units and the in the old units is a huge amount of distance, he has about 40
feet between him and his neighbor in the back. The property owner or developer are already
sacrificing, rightfully so, and developing in the manner of a conservation development that is
usually looked favorably upon, where they try to condense construction into smaller areas to in
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 3, 2022
Page 13 of 15
order to preserve larger areas of natural space and he thinks that they're doing that to the tee on
this development. Regarding the stormwater access to cross Camp Cardinal, he hears what
they're saying, but there's already an existing stormwater connection underneath Camp Cardinal
Road, from the east side to the west side, towards the bottom of the hill, so he doesn't think it's
going to be running over land, it's going to be going into stormwater sewers and channeled
through the sewer system into that basin. As far as the capacity of that basin, it's his
understanding and belief that was designed as part of the entire master plan of that whole area,
which was considered to be developed at some point, so he would assume that it was designed
to hold the capacity and if it wasn't, then someone will have to take care of correcting it at some
point. The only other issue Signs would have is on the property value issue that came up on
several points. He is a realtor in town and can say this won't have any impact on property values,
absolutely zero. This is a different development and property values are really much more
related to development in like kind, so he doesn't think that that's a relevant issue.
Craig supports the proposal, she drove out there today and it feels like this has the potential to
be almost identical to the Ryan Court development, it's sort of a mirror of that as it has a
multifamily section, and it has beautiful houses. The area has developed differently than maybe
the City thought it was going to 20 years ago, but it's developed with beautiful residential homes
and she expects that these will be more beautiful residential homes. She is sympathetic to
people who want to stand on their deck because that's the way they bought their property but
this is in the City and they can see from Deer Creek Road there's a stub in on the other side of
the street which means something's going to go in there. She thinks this is an appropriate
development for that area and is in favor of it.
Padron is also in favor of development and basically agrees with everything Signs said and every
time there's a development a neighbor complains about the views from their house being
affected and she finds it very selfish, to be honest.
Townsend noted it amazes her the way that whole development has come up, she can
remember when there was nothing out there and to see a subdivision like this being developed in
that area, it's what's needed so will be agreeing.
Elliott does support the application, stating it does meet all the City requirements.
Hensch noted he does have three concerns, one is he is completely sympathetic to people who
feel like their realtor told them one thing but looking right at a realtor for he has great respect for,
their job is to sell the property. They're not going to mislead someone, but they're not
fortunetellers and can't for 100% certainty tell someone what the zoning is going to be in the
future. The second thing is, he has a growing sensitivity to viewsheds, before his eight years on
this Commission it was something he didn't give much thought to because he lives in town and
his view shed was 20 feet to his neighbor. But he is sympathetic to that and does understand
that. However, since the nearest property is going to be 400 feet, in town that's almost unheard
of. Nobody's that far away from each other in town. All the properties on Ryan Court are just
beautiful and he had the exact same feeling that Craig had driving through there that this
development is going to mimic largely Ryan Court, and overall is going to be a great
development. Hensch's only negative concern is that water is a big deal to him, especially
erosion, so he has concerns about that unnamed creek on the north edge. He is asking the
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 3, 2022
Page 14 of 15
neighbors to keep the City and the developers feet to the fire about that and if there's erosion
occurring hold people responsible to fix that. When the sanitary sewer goes through, that's when
there's disruptions that occur and it has to be put back together in a way that is natural and
aesthetic and doesn't have erosion.
Townsend noted the other thing really talked about were trees that have been there for ages that
haven't been taken away and there's several places here in Iowa City where the trees fell down
during the derecho and they're still down. So she is hoping there's a way that as good neighbors,
they could get whoever is in charge of doing that to get rid of those.
Hensch noted it was brought up the question about the Indiana bats, there is a limitation on when
their habitat can be disrupted or when trees can be cut down, there's some periods of times
where trees can't be cut down because of breeding season.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: JULY 6, 2022:
Elliott moved to approve the meeting minutes of July 6, 2022.
Townsend seconded the motion.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION:
Russett noted that at last night's City Council meeting they approved the historic preservation
code amendments which the Commission saw a couple of months ago.
Elliott noted regarding the coffee shop on Bowery, she has been to the one downtown and they
use all glass, nothing is a single use utensil, so that is really nice.
Townsend noted she was concerned when they built the coffee shop across from HyVee on
North Dodge but now sees how packed it is and well utilized, so nice to see.

Townsend moved to adjourn.

Resolution
Executive Summary:
Preliminary design for the Rohret South Trunk Sanitary Sewer Project has been completed to the
point where temporary and permanent easement needs within the project corridor have been
identified. These easements are needed for construction of the new trunk sewer. The proposed
30 -inch trunk sanitary sewer will extend from the Willow Creek Interceptor along Abbey Lane to
the west side of US Highway 218 and will serve future City growth.
Background /Analysis:
The proposed trunk sanitary sewer will connect future development on the west side of US
Highway 218 to the City's Sanitary Sewer Collection System and allow development of the
properties west of the highway and south of Rohret Road. The project will utilize existing right-of-
way and the existing 20 -foot wide permanent easement of Abbey Lane from Burry Drive to
Mormon Trek Boulevard. Abbey Lane will be reconstructed with reconnected private sanitary
sewer services, street pavement, driveway aprons, sidewalks, curb ramps, other public utilities,
and seeding or sodding as needed to accommodate the installation of the new trunk sewer.
Rushmore Drive and the easements along Rushmore Drive will be reconstructed with new street
pavement, curb ramps, and seeding or sodding. Property acquisitions needed for the
construction of this project are discussed below.
In order to accommodate trenched installation of the new sewer, a permanent easement is
needed on the southwest corner of the intersection of Mormon Trek Boulevard and Rushmore
Drive. In addition, temporary construction easements are needed to provide contractor access at
the following locations: across the parcels east of 3207 Rohret Road to accommodate
construction access west of Highway 218, along the 30 -foot wide permanent sanitary sewer
easement that is between Mormon Trek Boulevard and Highway 218 right-of-way, and at 2229
Abbey Lane to accommodate reconnection of the private sanitary sewer service around the
property's landscaping and mature trees.

CITY OF IOWA CITY =RING
ROHRET SOUTH SANITARY SEWER PROPERTY ACQUISITION AREA
NOTICE OF INTENT TO ACQUIRE PROPERTY RIGHTS WHICH MAY BE
NEEDED FOR ROHRET SOUTH TRUNK SANITARY SEWER PROJECT
TO: Allen Development, LLC
P.O. Box 3474
Iowa City, Iowa 52244
Chapter 6B of the Iowa Code requires a governmental body which proposes to acquire property
rights under power of eminent domain for a public improvement project to give notice of the
project to all agricultural property owners whose properties may be affected and to hold a
public hearing.
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN to the above -identified agricultural property owners that the
City Council of the City of Iowa City will consider funding of the site-specific design for the
Rohret South Trunk Sanitary Sewer Project, making the final selection of the route or site
location, or acquiring or condemning property rights, if necessary, required for the project. Said
project involves construction of an approximately 2,500 -foot long, 30 -inch trunk sanitary sewer
main, abandonment of existing sanitary sewer mains, reconnection of private sanitary sewer
services to the new trunk, repaving Abbey Lane, Mormon Trek Boulevard, and Rushmore
Drive, and restoration of surfaces with pavement, seeding, or sodding.
2. PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS MAY BE ACQUIRED BY NEGOTIATION
OR CONDEMNATION.
If the above-described project is approved by the City Council, the City may need to acquire
property rights for the project improvements. Property rights may include a temporary
construction easement, a permanent easement, and/or a fee simple parcel (complete
ownership). Upon review of the records of the Johnson County Auditor, it appears that
properties or portions of properties owned by the above -identified persons may have to be
acquired for the project by the methods described above. The City will attempt to purchase the
required property by good faith negotiations. If negotiations are unsuccessful, the City will
condemn those property rights which it determines are necessary for the project. The proposed
location of the above-described public improvement is shown on documentation which is now
on file in the office of the City Clerk and available for public viewing.
3. CITY PROCESS TO DECIDE TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT AND TO
ACQUIRE PROPERTY RIGHTS; CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED TO
FUND PROJECT.
The City has provided funding in its budget for this project, as well as funding to acquire any
property rights that may be needed for the project. City staff has analyzed the options for how
to proceed with this project and has coordinated project planning with other appropriate
agencies. The planning has reached the point where preliminary designs now indicate that
certain property rights may need to be acquired. Any public comment will be considered in
preparing the final designs, particularly as private property may be affected.
In making the decision to fund the site-specific design for the public improvement, to make the
final selection of the route or site location, or to acquire or condemn property rights, if
2
necessary, the City Council is required to hold a public hearing, giving persons interested in
the proposed project the opportunity to present their views regarding the decision to fund the
site-specific designs for the project, make the final selection of the route or site location, or to
acquire or condemn, if necessary, property or an interest in property for the project. The public
hearing will be held on the 3rd day of October, 2022 in the City Council Chambers, Civic
Center, 410 East Washington Street, Iowa City, Iowa, commencing at 6:00 p.m. or, if
cancelled, at the next meeting of the City Council thereafter as posted by the City Clerk.
In order to fund the site-specific design for the public improvement, to make the final selection
of the route or site location, or to commence the acquisition or condemnation of property rights,
if necessary, for the above-described project, City Council will be required to approve the
project and authorize acquisition of private property rights for the project by Council
resolution. The City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of a resolution authorizing
acquisition of property rights for the above-described project following the public hearing.
When an appraisal is required, if the project is approved by the City Council, an appraiser will
determine the compensation to be paid for easements and/or property acquired in fee simple.
The City will offer no less than the appraised value and will attempt to purchase only the needed
property by good faith negotiations. If the City is unable to acquire properties needed for the
project by negotiation, the City will acquire those property rights by condemnation.
