Executive Summary:
Pursuant to Iowa Code §453A.47A, a retail permit is required to sell tobacco, tobacco
products, alternative nicotine products, or vapor products at any place of business or through
delivery sales. All permits provided for in Iowa Code §453A.47A expire on June 30 of each
year and require payment of the applicable fee established in Iowa Code §453A.47A(7). The
Iowa Department of Revenue implements the retail permit requirements of Iowa Code
§453A.47A. The City Clerk's Office issues all permits for retailers located within city limits. As
part of the retail permit process, the Iowa Department of Revenue requires applications be
approved by the City Council once the City receives the completed application and the
appropriate fee is paid.
Background / Analysis:
During the 2024 legislative session, the Iowa legislature enacted Senate File 345, which
regulates and taxes the sale of devices effective January 1, 2025. Per the legislation, a
"device" is defined as any equipment or product, made in whole or in part of glass or metal,
that is designed for use in inhaling through combustion tobacco, hemp, other plant materials,
or a controlled substance. A device retailer shall only display and sell devices in a location of
a retail outlet where the device retailer ensures that the devices are not visible to a person
younger than twenty-one years of age and where no person younger than twenty-one years
of age is present or permitted to enter at any time. Based on this legislation, we have
included 'device' in the permit approval resolution and will indicate the permit type for which
each business has applied.

preceding Friday.

IOWA 500
IOWA 500 HEALTH CARE COVERAGE
IOWA 500 coverage combines basic Blue Cross hospital, Blue Shield physician and Major Medical
coverages into a single program using deductibles and co -payments. And after the deductible and co -
payment have been satisfied, the dollar coverage and number of hospital days are unlimited except for
Nervous and Mental admissions.
In short, the Subscriber shares in the costs of the medically necessary hospital, medical and surgical
services provided. However, the Subscriber's share never exceeds the out of pocket maximum per year for
covered services, regardless of the number of family members.
IOWA 500 plan benefits encourage medical self -maintenance practices by paying for 90% of the covered
Usual, Customary and Reasonable charges for;
• One routine annual physical examination in a doctor's office or clinic
• Home and office calls needed to diagnose or treat a medical condition
• Immunizations required by a Subscriber or any person in a Subscriber's family
The idea behind IOWA 500 coverage? To encourage continuing medical self -maintenance and help reduce
the length and number of unnecessary hospital stays. These efforts, of course, can help keep health care
costs — and rates — in line.
THE IOWA 500 Plan Covers These Extensive Services:
HOSPITAL CARE 90/10
Inpatient
• Semi -private room and board
• Necessary services and supplies
• Operating rooms, intensive care, coronary and burn care units
• Delivery room for normal delivery, Caesarean section, miscarriage or admission for false labor
• Necessary laboratory and x-ray services
Outpatient
• Surgery
• Diagnostic, x-ray and laboratory services
• Accident care
HOME HEALTH CARE 90/10
• Services provided by a Registered Nurse
• Services prescribed by a physician
PHYSICIAN SERVICES 90110
• Home and office visits
• One routine annual physical exam
• Pre -natal and post -natal care in physician's office
• Immunizations
• Hospital visits and nursing facility visits
NERVOUS AND MENTAL 90110
Outpatient - 90/10
SKILLED NURSING FACILITY 90110
• Unlimited Room and Board
• Services and Supplies
THE IOWA 500 PLAN COVERS THESE OTHER SERVICES:
These other services are subject to a contract deductible per calendar year
• Prescriptions
• Anesthetics
• Blood plasma
• Casts
• Crutches
• Durable medical equipment
• Other supplies when ordered by a physician
Nursing Services
• Private -duty nursing services
Ambulance
• Air
• Ground
DEDUCTIBLES AND CO -PAYMENT
• Hospital —The Subscriber is responsible for the first two days of semi -private room and board.
Per Hospital Admission.
• Physician — The Subscriber pays 10% of the physician's Usual, Customary and Reasonable
charges including office calls. IOWA 500 coverage pays the remaining 90%,
• Other Supplies/Services — The Subscriber first pays the deductible per contract per calendar year
for the medical supplies and services. These may include prescription drugs, services of a
Registered Nurse, ambulance services, home health care and braces.
When the Subscriber's expenditures for hospital, physician, and/or other services reach the out of
pocket maximum per year, IOWA 500 pays 100% of all remaining charges. If the Subscriber's
expenditures for hospital, physician, and/or other services do not reach the out of pocket maximum, the
Subscriber pays 10% of all remaining charges up to a total maximum expenditure of the annual out of
pocket maximum.
CARRYOVER OF DEDUCTIBLE
Expenses for covered services incurred during the months of October, November and December and
which are used to satisfy that year's deductible can be used toward satisfying the next calendar year's
deductible.

service that are related to this assignment L
Provide consistent service and redundancy to assigned areas and tasks
« Provide a schedule that serves the needs of the Downtown District and
Neighborhood inspection Services who partially fund' these positions.
Therefore, the parties hereby agree that the alternative schedule for the Neighborhood

Memorandum of Agreement
City of Iowa City
and
Police Labor Relations Organization of Iowa City
January 10, 2018
in an effort to clarify compensation and reimbursement Issues related to training, the
parties agree to the following guiding principles:
Both parties agree that training Is an important part of being an effective officer,
and that training benefits both the City, In enhancing officer performance, and
the officers, in preventing injuries and promoting professionalism and respect
for the officers and agency,
Recognizing the mutually beneficial nature of training, the parties wish to
improve consistency in work hour reporting and administrative efficiency
through application of broadened, general rules, governed by reasonableness.
Lunch breaks are paid for officers working a normal duty shift, because they can,
and frequently are, called out of their lunch break to respond to a call for
service.
® It is the common hope of the parties that training days can be scheduled so as
to include 8 hours of compensable time, to provide officers with full paychecks.
Any training clay that concludes with less than the on -duty officers' regularly
scheduled hours will require those officers to report to the watch commander
for other assigned duties or to be released for the day. Officers working
overtime will be compensated for time worked, Including compensable travel.
In-service tralnings under the sale control of the department, including but not
limited to firearms, SRT, etc., will generally be scheduled no longer than eight
(8) hours, inclusive of a paid meal break of not less than thirty (30) minutes.
+� None of these clarifications should be read to bring the City out of compliance
with the requirements of the Fair Labcu- Standards Act (FLSA), or other federal,
state, or local rules governing employment,
With these guiding principles in mind, the parties agree as follows:
Z. Hours of training. Officers will be compensated for 8 hours for a full, 8-hour
training day, inclusive of a scheduled lunch break. No compensation in excess of
8 hours will be payable until actual time_worked exceeds 8 hours and then
additional compensation will be payable only for actual time worked in excess of
8 hours, Lunch breaks of 30 minutes or greater which the officer is free to spend
as they choose will not be considered time worked. Time worked includes
training time and compensable travel time,
00
r ,—1 Examples:
a. Officer attending 8am-4prn training day which includes a 1 hour lunch break
would be compensated for 8 hours.
b. Officer attending 8am-5pm training day which Includes a 1 hour lunch break
would be compensated for 8 hours.
c. Officer attending Sam -Spin training day which Includes a 30-minute lunch
break would be compensated for 8.5 hours with the ,5 being paid at the
overtime rate (unless the officer is on their 10.25-hour day).
d. Officer attending Sam-4prn training which Includes a J. hour lunch break and
requires 30 minutes of travel each way would be compensated for 8 hours.
2. Meals and transportation. Article XV, Section 2 language regarding payment of
meals and the cost of transportation will not be applicable to ICPD department
trainings conducted in Johnsen County. Mileage will not be payable to any
officer who chooses to drive their own vehicle to a local training (counties
adjacent to Johnsen County) unless the officer has requested, in writing to the
Chief or Chiefs designee at least 72 hours in advance, department
transportation to and from the training, and the request is denied.
3. Out of county overnight training, The FLSA requires compensation be paid for
officers traveling during their normal working hours, and for drivers, whether or
not they are driving during their normal working hours. The FLSA does not
require payment for passengers outside their normal working hours.
Notwithstanding that fact, officers attending overnight training outside of
Johnson County approved and/or required by the City will be compensated for
actual time spent traveling, whether they are driving or passengers. Passengers
will be compensated for travel time not to exceed their assigned duty day hours
or 8 hours if traveling on a non -duty day. Drivers will be compensated for all
hours driven as required by FLSA. Compensable travel time will encompass the
time required to drive from the ICPD to the training location, regardless of where
the officer's commute begins. Officers traveling by means other than passenger
vehicle (air, train, etc.) will be compensated for travel time not to exceed their
normal duty day hours, or 8 hours if traveling on a non -duty day.
4. Out of county same -day training. Officers attending same -day training will be
paid for all time spent traveling, regardless of their normal working hours, or
whether they are driving or passengers. Compensable travel time will encompass
the time required to drive from the ICPD to the training location, regardless of
where the officer's commute begins.
S. ILEA Basic Academy, Officers attending the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy
Basic Training program, or comparable basic academy program, will be paid
overtime consistent with the FLSA threshold of 86 hours per 14-day period only.
40�
Lunches will not be paid if officers are free to spend their lunch break as they
wish. Travel time outside of the hours of 8:00 a.m, to 5:00 p.m. will not be
compensated, as that Is considered commute time by the FLSA. A City vehicle
will be made available for travel to and from the academy upon email request
to the Chief or Chiefs designee at least 72 hours in advance. Mileage will not be
payable to any officer who chooses to drive their own vehicle unless their
request for a City vehicle has been denied.
0. Service on boards and commissions. Time spent serving on boards and
commissions may be compensated on a case -by -case basis. Should an officer
wish to be compensated for time spent attending meetings of boards or
commissions on which they serve, the officer should discuss the service with the
Chief or Chiefs designee and obtain prior approval. Determinations will be
made on a case -by -case basis, depending on the circumstances, including the
value of the officer representing the city on the board or commission, the time
required for the service, and the operational needs of the City.

Engineer's Estimate
$1,500,000.00
Staff recommends awarding the Project to Tricon General Construction, Inc. of Cedar Rapids,
Iowa.
Background / Analysis:
The variable frequency drives (VFDs) servicing the Water Treatment Plant's high service
pumps have been in operation for approximately 20 years, which is the typical life span for
VFDs. The VFDs have begun to show signs of deterioration with the loss of communications
due to worn electronic components. The new supervisory control and data acquisition
(SCADA) system was modified to accommodate the outdated communications protocols
utilized by these drives. Continued and more frequent repair activities are anticipated as
these drives reach the end of their useful life.
This project generally includes the replacement of the four existing high service pump VFDs
with new active -front-end VFDs and replacing the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning
(HVAC) systems for the High Service Pump Room at the City's Water Treatment Plant.

The Iowa City Senior Center (ICSC) is located in a historic building at the corner of Linn
Street and Washington Street in downtown Iowa City. It provides programming to support
wellness, social connections, community engagement and lifelong learning for a diverse and
growing older adult population. The building structure was originally constructed as a post
office in 1904 and expanded in 1931. It remained the City's central post office until 1975
when, after two -years of vacancy, it was purchased by the City and renovated for its current
use. The structure has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1979.
An assessment of the building's exterior was conducted as part of the Senior Center
Assessment and Master Plan, dated March 2, 2022, which generally identified several areas
in need of exterior restoration and rehabilitation; moreover, a more specific Project Scoping
Report was conducted and completed December 21, 2022, which reviewed specific
infrastructure repairs and provided budgetary cost estimates.
The work was divided into two distinct projects for financing purposes. The first project
included exterior limestone repair and the reconstruction of existing parapet piers and parapet
balustrades. The project was completed in July 2024.
This second project will include removal and replacement of existing windows, removal and
replacement of existing exterior doors, repair and restoration of historic wood elements at
monumental window openings and historic entry doorways, exterior painting and exterior
door hardware.

Executive Summary:
The Camp Cardinal Road Extension involves the extension of Camp Cardinal Road between
Gathering Place Lane and Deer Creek Road, including a traffic circle at the intersection with
Deer Creek Road. The project's design has been completed, and it has been determined that
additional right-of-way is needed adjacent to the proposed traffic circle and temporary
construction easements are needed along the corridor.
Background / Analysis:
Camp Cardinal Road, north of Gathering Place Lane, is currently an unimproved road that is
roughly 16-foot wide with a gravel surface and roadside ditches. This section of Camp
Cardinal Road is between two subdivisions that are currently under construction: Cardinal
Heights — Parts One and Two and Western Home Gathering Place Development (GPD). The
development of these two subdivisions will necessitate a secondary access.
With the public improvements included with the Cardinal Heights subdivision, Deer Creek
Road has been extended from Camp Cardinal Boulevard to Camp Cardinal Road. The
Cardinal Heights public improvements have been installed, but a couple of punch list items
need to be completed before they are ready to be accepted. In accordance with the
conditional zoning agreement, the City shall not issue a building permit on any lot in the
Subdivision until such time as the Owner and Subdivider have paid to the City 50% of the
cost of upgrading Camp Cardinal Road to City Standards, including the cost of constructing
the traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek Road and Camp Cardinal Road.
Western Home GPD will extend Deer Creek Road from Gathering Place Lane to Camp
Cardinal Road. In accordance with the conditional zoning agreement, the City shall not issue

have paid to the City 50% of the cost of upgrading Camp Cardinal Road to City Standards,
including the cost of constructing the traffic circle at the intersection of Deer Creek Road and
Camp Cardinal Road.
Because the Project is funded by contributions from multiple developers, it will be
constructed as a City project.

December 23, 2024
February 6, 2025
The owner, St Andrew Presbyterian Church, is requesting approval for the rezoning of 7.2 acres
from Interim Development Single -Family Residential (ID-RS) zone to Mixed Use (MU) zone for land
located east of Camp Cardinal Blvd and north of Melrose Ave. Both Camp Cardinal Blvd and
Melrose Ave are arterial streets which are in close proximity to Highway 218. Portions of the
property's northern edge border sensitive areas such as woodlands, wetlands, and regulated
slopes, which are also found on the St Andrew Presbyterian Church property directly to the north.
The IC2030 Comprehensive Plan's future land use map originally identified this area appropriate
for 2-8 Dwelling Units per Acre. In 2016, St Andrew Presbyterian Church submitted a
Comprehensive Plan Amendment that changed the future land use designation from 2-8 Dwelling
Units per Acre to Office Commercial (CPA16-00001, Res No. 16-129). The Office Commercial land
use designation is assigned to areas intended to provide the opportunity for a large variety of
commercial uses that serve a major segment of the community.
The subject property is currently for sale. The owners have expressed an interest in rezoning to
provide more clarity and certainty to future buyers regarding development potential.
Attachment 3 includes the applicant submittal materials such as the Rezoning Exhibit and the
Applicant Statement which describes the rationale behind the request.
The applicant has used the Good Neighbor Policy and held a Good Neighbor Meeting on January
23, 2025.
ANALYSIS:
Current Zoning: The property is currently zoned ID-RS. The ID-RS zone provides for areas of
3
managed growth in which agricultural and other nonurban uses of land may continue until such time
as the city is able to provide city services and urban development can occur. The land uses allowed
in the ID-RS zone are limited. The only permitted use in the ID-RS zone is plant related agricultural.
Detached single-family dwellings are allowed but require a minimum of 5 acres. Limited commercial
uses are allowed and subject to use specific standards. For example, the I D-RS zone allows general
and intensive animal related commercial uses; however, any outdoor facilities associated with these
uses are required to be setback at least one hundred feet from any lot line.
Proposed Zoning: The applicant is requesting that the property to be rezoned to the MU zone. The
purpose of the MU zone is to provide a transition from commercial and employment centers to less
intensive residential zones. The MU zone allows a mix of uses, including lower scale retail and office
uses, and a variety of residential uses. This mix of uses requires special consideration of building
and site design.
Table 1 outlines the uses that are allowed in the MU zone, i.e. multi -family, office uses, community
service, etc. The MU zone does not allow for drinking establishments (e.g. bars), quick vehicle
servicing uses (e.g. gas stations and car washes), or any industrial uses.

Rezoning Review Criteria:
Staff uses the following two criteria in the review of rezonings:
1. Consistency with the comprehensive plan;
2. Compatibility with the existing neighborhood character.
CI
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The Northwest Planning District does not have a district
plan, so the proposed rezoning is reviewed using the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan.
The Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan was amended in 2016 changing the subject
property's land use designation from 2-8 dwelling units per acre to Office Commercial (CPA16-
0001). The resolution noted that the amendment was warranted due to the subject property's close
proximity to Highway 218. It also stated that the general principles of the Comprehensive Plan
encourage buffers between residential development and major highways. The resolution also states
that the CO-1 zone is an appropriate zone near residential neighborhoods and an appropriate
transition to more intense uses.
Although the resolution indicates CO-1 as an appropriate zoning designation for the subject
property, staff finds that the proposed MU zone aligns with the intent of the comprehensive plan
amendment, as well. Both the CO-1 zone and the MU zone allow residential and less intensive
commercial uses. Similar to the CO-1 zone, the MU zone does not allow drinking establishments,
quick vehicle servicing uses, and outdoor storage and display oriented retail. In addition, the MU
zone does not allow drive-throughs.
Furthermore, the following Comprehensive Plan goals and strategies are supported by the
rezoning request:
Encourage compact, efficient development that is contiguous and connected to existing
neighborhoods to reduce the cost of extending infrastructure and services and to preserve
farmland and open space at the edge of the city.
o Ensure that infill development is compatible and complementary to the surrounding
neighborhood.
Encourage a diversity of housing options in all neighborhoods.
o Ensure a mix of housing types within each neighborhood, to provide options for
households of all types (singles, families, retirees, etc.) and people of all incomes.
o Identify and support infill development and redevelopment opportunities in areas
where services and infrastructure are already in place.
The proposed rezoning aligns with the Comprehensive Plans goals that encourage infill
development and a diversity of housing types throughout the community. The subject property is
surrounded by developed land and the site is currently served by city services. In terms of housing
diversity, the MU zone allows a diversity of housing types, including single-family, duplex, and multi-
family residential.
Compatibility with Existing Neighborhood Character: The land uses surrounding this property
include St Andrews Presbyterian Church to the north, single-family residential to the east, multi-
family residential to the northwest, and Highway 218 to the west. Generally speaking, the
neighborhood is a mix of both single-family and multi -family residential, as well as institutional
uses with the church.
The neighborhood also includes a number of regulated sensitive features. The subject property,
specifically, includes woodlands along the eastern portion of the property that abut the existing
single-family homes in Walnut Ridge. Additionally, there is a 30' pipeline easement that runs north
and south along the eastern border of the subject property. No development would be allowed
within this easement. Given the regulated sensitive features and the restrictions on development
placed by the pipeline easement a natural buffer should remain between any development and
the single-family land uses to the east.
Furthermore, future development on the subject property must comply with the Mixed Use Site
Development Standards that regulate the location of surface parking and require screening
5
between surface parking and neighboring properties. Buildings scale is also regulated, and
articulation standards are required to ensure that buildings are broken up in modules. The
purpose of these standards is to ensure that building sites are designed to be inviting for
pedestrians by orienting buildings toward the street, requiring that buildings be constructed with
street level storefront windows and clearly demarcated pedestrian entrances; and by requiring
that parking be located away from the street and screened by landscaping.
Regarding lighting, the mixed use zone is in the medium illumination district. This district would
allow more lighting than a single-family zone; however, the light trespass standards require that
lighting fixtures are shielded in such a say that the bulb is not directly visible from any adjacent
residential use. Overall, the lighting standards regulate light fixture shielding, directional control,
and height of fixtures to prevent light from one property extending beyond the property line onto
adjacent properties.
Staff finds the proposed rezoning request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and
compatible with the existing neighborhood character.
Transportation & Public Infrastructure: The property has access from Camp Cardinal Blvd,
which contains a median that limits ingress and egress to the site. Therefore, staff is
recommending a condition that the Owner reconstruct the median to allow full access to the site.
This will also require the construction of a dedicated left -turn lane on Camp Cardinal Blvd.
Sensitive Areas: The subject property contains regulated sensitive features. A sensitive areas
development plan is not required at the time of rezoning. A sensitive areas development plan will
be required either at subdivision or site plan review. At that time, the applicant will be required to
submit a sensitive areas development plan showing regulated sensitive features, proposed impacts,
and construction limit lines.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, a public hearing will be
scheduled for consideration by the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of REZ24-0016, a proposed rezoning to rezone 7.2 acres of the
property located east of Camp Cardinal Blvd and north of Melrose Ave (Parcel Number
1007351003) from ID-RS zone to MU zone subject to the following condition:
• Prior to issuance of a building permit the Owner shall reconstruct the median to allow
access and also construct a dedicated left -turn lane on Camp Cardinal Blvd subject to
review and approval by the City Engineer.

APPLICANT'S STATEMENT FOR REZONING
St. Andrew Presbyterian Church
Parcel Number 1007351003
Please accept the following Applicant Statement submitted on behalf of St Andrew Presbyterian Church.
St Andrew Presbyterian Church has owned the property located near the intersection of Camp Cardinal
Boulevard and Melrose Avenue since 2009. This property is identified as Parcel Number 1007351003 or as
Auditor's Parcel 2012061. This property was acquired along with the property located at 140 Gathering Place
Lane where the St Andrew Presbyterian Church is located. The parcel is physically separated from the Gathering
Place Lane property by a waterway and a wooded ravine.
St Andrew Presbyterian Church is seeking a Mixed Use (MU) zoning designation for the property. The property
is currently zoned Interim Development Single -Family (ID-RS). According to the City Code, the ID-RS zone is
intended "to provide for areas of managed growth in which agricultural and non -urban uses of land may
continue until such time as the city is able to provide city services and urban development can occur." This
property is surrounded by developed properties and city services are currently available. St Andrew previously
pursued a comprehensive plan amendment to allow for a commercial use on the property. Since making that
change to the comprehensive plan, the market for commercial properties has changed and St Andrew has not
been able to attract a buyer interested in developing the property for a commercial use. The Mixed Use is a
commercial zone that is intended to "provide a transition from commercial and employment centers to less
intensive residential zones. The MU zone permits a mix of uses, including lower scale retail and office uses, and a
variety of residential uses. This mix of uses requires special consideration of building and site design." The
Mixed Use zone is well situated at this location to provide a transition from Highway 218 to the west and the
large -lot residential properties within Walnut Ridge to the east.
St. Andrew has not determined a final use nor do they plan to be the developer of the property. Their goal in
rezoning the property is to remove a barrier for a potential buyer and position the property to the ready for
development when a buyer is identified. The site is currently served by city water and sanitary sewer. Any
future development will need to comply with applicable city codes, including the sensitive area ordinance and
storm water management.
Thank you for your consideration of this rezoning application.
Sincerely,
AllIw

The western portion of the subject property is part of the Subdivision of the SE 114 Section 3
Township 79 Range 6 Final Plat approved in 1873. The eastern portion of the property is part of the
Bacon's Subdivision of Blk 1 Dewey's Addition also approved in 1873.
The zoning of the property in question has been the subject of significant past litigation. A portion
of the subject property was at issue in a 1987 decision of the Iowa Supreme Court, Kempf v. City
of Iowa City, 402 N.W.2d 393 (Iowa 1987). In that case, a developer had purchased a four -acre
tract comprised of six lots --Lots 8-10 along Governor Street and Lots 49-51 along Dodge Street. At
the time, all of these lots were zoned R3B, a classification permitting office buildings and high -
density multi -family residential units. The developer had completed construction of an office building
and had begun construction of an apartment building when the City revoked the building permit for
the apartment building. The City subsequently rezoned the property to permit commercial office and
multi -family residential uses on portions of the tract, while limiting the remainder to single-family and
duplex development. The court concluded that the decision to rezone the undeveloped portions of
the property to permit only single-family and duplex units was unreasonable due to the economic
3
unfeasibility of such limited development. As a result of this litigation, Lots 10, 49, 51, and part of
Lot 50 reverted to the R313 zoning classification in effect in 1978. This classification was to remain
in effect until a use had been established on any of the lots, after which time further development
or redevelopment of that lot would be subject to current zoning regulations. Since the court ruling
no uses have been established on the lots in question.
In 2011, the City received a rezoning application (REZ11-00016) for a portion of the subject property
along N. Governor Street to rezone the property from CO-1 (Commercial Office) zone to RM-12
(Low Density Multi -Family Residential) zone. At the time rezoning would have allowed
approximately 18 multi -family residential units. This rezoning received a significant amount of
opposition from neighborhood residents and failed at Council by a vote of 0-6.
After the failed rezoning attempt the City Council directed staff to examine the comprehensive plan's
land use policy vision for the property and explore designating the property to no longer allow multi-
family residential uses. The City initiated a comprehensive plan amendment (CPA12-00004) which
proposed an amendment to the Central District Plan to change the future land use designation from
Low to Medium Density Multi -Family to Single -Family and Duplex residential for properties located
at 905, 909, and 911 N. Governor Street and property between 906 N. Dodge and 910 N. Dodge
Street. This comprehensive plan amendment was accompanied by three City initiated rezonings
(REZ12-00016, REZ12-00018, and REZ12-00019).
Ordinance 13-4518 rezoned land from R313 and CO-1 to RS-12 (High Density Single -Family
Residential) zone. After the rezoning the property owner submitted a site plan proposing a multi-
family residential building. At the time, Lots 10, 49, and 51 remained undeveloped. The City denied
this site plan because multi -family uses are not allowed in the RS-12 zone. The owner appealed
the decision to the Board of Adjustment. The Board upheld staff's decision, and the owner appealed
this decision to district court seeking to invalidate the rezoning.
The case eventually made its way to the Iowa Supreme Court as TSB Holdings. LLC v. Board of
Adjustment for City of Iowa City, 913 N.W.2d 1 (Iowa 2018). The court found that the rezoning
ordinance was a lawful exercise of the City's zoning authority. However, the court held that the
Kempf decision prohibited the City from enforcing the new zoning ordinance as to Lots 10, 49, and
51. As a result, the property owner was permitted to move forward with construction of multi -family
housing on these lots consistent with the former R313 zoning classification. To date, this
development has not occurred.
In short, these properties have a long and complicated zoning history. At present the properties
remain a mix of both single-family and multi -family zoning. Some of the multi -family zoning that
applies to the property is the zoning designation from the 1970s (R3B) determined by the courts.
The City is acting as a co -applicant for this rezoning for several reasons. First, due to the hodge
podge of zoning designations this rezoning helps to ensure a cohesive development pattern as
opposed to that which would be allowed under current zoning. Second, the proposed rezoning
would require compliance with the City's modern zoning regulations as opposed to zoning
regulations adopted in the 1970s. Third, the City Council's Strategic Plan speaks to working on
establishing partnerships and collaborations within the community, particularly in the interest of
advancing housing goals.
Good Neighbor Policy: The applicant held a good neighbor meeting on August 13, 2024.
Approximately 20 individuals attended the meeting. A summary of the meeting is attached.
[Attachment 6] In addition to the good neighbor meeting, City staff, representatives of MMS
Consultants, and three neighbors met to discuss additional concerns on September 25, 2024.
ANALYSIS
CI
Current Zoning: The subject property is zoned Medium Density Single -Family Residential (RS-
8) zone, High Density Single -Family Residential (RS-12) zone, Medium Density Multi -Family
Residential (RM-20) zone, and Multi -Family Residence (R3B) zone. The existing R313 zoning is
a zoning designation from the 1970s. See Figure 1.
Properties zoned RM-20 allow multi -family residential. Properties zoned RS-12 and RS-8 allow
single-family and duplex residential. RS-12 also allows townhome style multi -family up to six units
attached. The maximum height in these zones is 35'.
The R313 zone also allows multi -family residential at a minimum lot area per unit of 750 square feet.
This equates to approximately 58 dwelling units per acre. Given the land area zoned R313 the
existing zoning would allow a maximum of 84 dwelling units. The maximum height in the R313 zone
is 45' and 3 stories. See Table 1.

Proposed Zoning: The applicant is proposing to rezone the subject property to High Density
Single -Family (RS-12) zone and Medium Density Multi -Family (RM-20) Zone with a Planned
Development Overlay (OPD). The OPD is required due to impacts to sensitive areas. No waivers
from development standards are being requested.

DEWHAL TOM OF MA WN
POINTOFBEGINNING
The owner is proposing to demolish and replace the buildings along N. Governor St., which will
include the demolition of two single-family homes and the vacant office building to accommodate
the development of two multi -family residential buildings each containing 42 units. A total of 84 units
are proposed, which is the maximum allowable number of units under the current R313 zoning. The
maximum density in the OPD/RM-20 zone is 24 dwelling units per net acre. See Table 2. There is
no redevelopment planned along N. Dodge St. at this time; however, redevelopment is possible.
Any future redevelopment must demonstrate substantial compliance with the Preliminary OPD Plan
as is defined by the zoning ordinance.
The maximum allowable height in the proposed zoning designations in 35'. Additionally,
development of multi -family residential in the RM-20 zone will require compliance with the City's
modern multi -family site development standards (which would not be required of development
under the 1970 R313 zoning). The multi -family site development standards address the location of
parking, landscaping between surface parking and neighboring properties, the demarcation of
building entrances, and building articulation to avoid monotonous facades. Since the property is
located within the Central Planning District, the proposed development is also subject to additional
standards that regulate architectural design and building materials.

Since the proposed zoning does not follow existing parcel boundaries, staff is recommending a
condition that no building permit shall be issued for the proposed Lot 1 until the City Council
approves a final plat resubdividing the subject property to conform to the proposed zoning
boundaries.
General Planned Development Approval Criteria: Applications for Planned Development
rezonings are reviewed for compliance with the standards according to Article 14-3A of the Iowa
City Zoning Code, except for sensitive areas developments that comply with all underlying zoning
and subdivision regulations. Since the proposed planned development is required due to sensitive
C01
areas and no modifications are being requested, the proposed rezoning is subject to the standard
rezoning review criteria:
1. Consistency with the comprehensive plan;
2. Compatibility with the existing neighborhood character.
Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan: The proposed rezoning is reviewed using the IC2030
Comprehensive Plan and the Central District Plan.
The Future Land Use Map of the IC2030 plan identifies much of the subject property as appropriate
for multi -family residential development at 16-24 dwelling units per acre. The area along N.
Governor St is identified as appropriate for residential development of 2-8 dwelling units per acre.
The Central District Plan identifies the area as appropriate for Single -Family and Duplex Residential,
Open Space, and Low to Medium Density Multi -Family with a development density of 8-24 dwelling
units per acre.
The Future Land Use Map functions as a conceptual future vision. Both plans envision this area as
allowing multi -family development. See Figures 3 and 4. Furthermore, the rezoning is supported by
plan goals and strategies that are outlined below.
Z:

Land Use Map

E
Figure 4. Central District Plan
Future Land Use Map
The IC2030 Plan also include a number of goals and strategies that support the proposed rezoning:
Land Use Goals and Strategies:
Encourage compact, efficient development that is contiguous and connection to existing
neighborhoods to reduce the cost of extending infrastructure and services and to
preserve farmland and open space at the edge of the city.
o Ensure that infill development is compatible and complementary to the
surrounding neighborhood.
Housing Goals and Strategies:
• Encourage a diversity of housing options in all neighborhoods.
o Ensure a mix of housing types within each neighborhood, to provide options for
households of all types (singles, families, retirees, etc.) and people of all
incomes.
o Identify and support infill development and redevelopment opportunities in areas
where services and infrastructure are already in place.
III
Environmental Goals and Strategies:
• Recognize the essential role our land use policies play in preserving natural resources
and reducing energy consumption.
o Encourage compact, efficient development that reduces the cost of extending
and maintaining infrastructure and services.
o Discourage sprawl by promoting small -lot and infill development.
Parks and Open Space Goals and Strategies:
• Improve overall access to and awareness of parks.
Goal 1 of the Central District Plan's Housing and Quality of Life element states "Promote the Central
District as an attractive place to live by encouraging reinvestment in residential properties
throughout the district and by supporting new housing opportunities" Although the proposed
redevelopment is not a reinvestment in existing residential property it is an investment in the
neighborhood and will allow the for the removal of the blighted, vacant office building and allow
for the development of much needed housing units.
The Central District Plan also includes a component related to open space. It envisions the
possible expansion of Happy Hollow Park to the west and a bit to the north, including one parcel
on the subject property. The area of the subject property identified in the plan as appropriate for
open space is zoned R313. Given the court rulings protecting development rights and the current
zoning designation, expanding the public park in this manner is unrealistic. The topography also
makes expanding the park to the north challenging as any northern expansion would likely be
inaccessible to members of the public.
Finally, the Central District Plan also states the following: "Another pocket of multi -family
development in the northern part of the district along Dodge Street is zoned R313, which is an
obsolete zoning designation no longer used in the City Code. This area should be rezoned to a valid
designation such as RM-20, which acknowledges the density of the existing multi -family
development on the property".
In summary, the proposed rezoning to OPD/RM-20 with a small portion rezoned to OPD/RS-12 is
consistent with the land use policy direction of the City's adopted plans. The plans envision the
development of multi -family residential in this area, make note of the importance of accommodating
a diversity of housing types to meet a variety of needs, and highlight the benefits of infill development
for environmental and infrastructure reasons.
Compatibility with Existing Neighborhood Character: In terms of the surrounding
neighborhood, Happy Hollow Park is directly south of the proposed development. Single-family
homes are located across the N. Governor Street right-of-way to the east. To the north is a mix
of duplex and other residential uses. To the west of the proposed development on the subject
property are two existing multi -family residential buildings containing 12 and 29 units respectively.
To the south of the existing multi -family buildings is a duplex (to be converted to a single-family
home) with single-family homes further to the south. The neighborhood is a mixture of housing
types ranging from detached single-family homes to larger scale apartment buildings. The major
amenity for residents is Happy Hollow Park.
The Preliminary Planned Development Overlay Play was developed to fit into the existing mixture
of residential buildings that the neighborhood contains. It proposes two multi -family buildings along
N. Governor Street. Each building contains 42 dwelling units for a total of 84 dwelling units. The two
block -scale buildings front N. Governor St. in a manner that aims to reduce their visual impact from
the public right-of-way. The northern building is positioned in such a way that the shortest end of
the building fronts N. Governor St. The width of this end of the building is 70 feet wide compared
EV
with the length of the building, which is —236 feet. Additionally, the southern building is positioned
at an angle, which allows the longest side of the building to be positioned further away from N.
Governor St.
This site layout also provides for a large open space area south of the building (north of Happy
Hollow Park) for the residents of the building. The proposed development must comply with the
private open space standards outlined in section 14-2A-4E of the Zoning Code. The proposed multi-
family buildings with 84 units containing 132 bedrooms requires 1,320 square feet of private usable
open space (10 square feet per bedroom). The proposed development shows adequate private
open space featuring an outdoor seating area. Excluding the designated private open space area,
much of the remaining area on the proposed Lot 1 will be used to retain stormwater and protect
sensitive features.
Both buildings are proposed to meet the 35' maximum height limit in the zone. No waivers from the
height standard have been requested. Parking is accommodated on surface lots that are located
behind the building, as well as internal structured parking.
In terms of landscaping, the proposed development would maintain 15 existing mature trees along
the southern property line abutting Happy Hollow Park. Additionally, 54 new trees will be planted on
the site, including 9 street trees along N. Governor St. The landscaping plan also shows that the
surface parking will be screened to neighboring property owners to the south and west.
Along N. Dodge St. there are two existing duplexes and two existing multi -family residential buildings.
The plans show that the Owner plans to convert the southern duplex at 900 N. Dodge St. on the
proposed Lot 2 to a single-family home. This is needed in order to meet the density requirements of
the zone. Staff is recommending a condition that prior to Final Plat approval that the duplex is
converted.
Although there are no plans for redevelopment along N. Dodge St. (with the exception of the duplex
conversion at 900 N. Dodge St.), the rezoning would allow redevelopment in the future. Any future
redevelopment of the proposed Lot 2 will be required to substantially comply with the Preliminary
OPD Plan. The rezoning would not allow any more dwelling units than currently exist. Additionally,
the existing development pattern provides a transition from the detached single-family homes to the
south to the existing apartment buildings to the north. Future redevelopment would need to ensure
that this transition is maintained similar to the existing context.
Transportation and Public Utilities: The proposed rezoning is bordered on the west by N.
Dodge St. and on the east by N. Governor St. Both are one-way streets with N. Dodge St. running
south and N. Governor St. running north. Both streets are also considered arterial streets per the
City's streets plan and are highways under the authority of the Iowa Department of Transportation.
Regarding capacity, 2023 data from the Iowa DOT shows an ADT (average daily traffic) of 5,600
for N. Governor St. The theoretical capacity is approximately 15,000 to 18,000 per day.
Transportation planning staff have reviewed the plans and have found that there is sufficient
capacity on N. Governor St. to accommodate the new development. The current public right-of-
way varies in width and is less than a typical arterial right-of-way width.
As for N. Dodge St. the existing conditions will not be changing with the proposed rezoning. That
said, 2023 data from the Iowa DOT shows an ADT of 6,200 along N. Dodge St. Like N. Governor
St., N. Dodge St. can accommodate between 15,000 to 18,000 per day.
The site is also served by Iowa City Transit's North Dodge Route. Transit stops are located
adjacent to the subject property along N. Dodge St. heading south and along N. Governor St.
heading north.
�0]
Staff is recommending two conditions related to the transportation system. First, that public right-
of-way along N. Governor St. and easements be dedicated to the satisfaction of the City Engineer
to allow the installation of a 5' sidewalk. Second, that a temporary construction easement be
granted on the western 10' of the subject property abutting N. Dodge St. This temporary
construction easement is needed to for the Dodge Street reconstruction project that is planned
between Governor and Burlington Streets. The project will be done in partnership with the Iowa
DOT and includes new street pavement, sidewalk, utility improvements and other associated
work. Both conditions will be addressed at final platting.
The site also has access is the City's existing sewer and water system. An 18" sanitary sewer
trunk line runs through the property. Public Works staff has reviewed the plans and have no
concerns regarding sanitary sewer capacity for this area as it would relate to this project. Staff is
recommending a condition that the existing water services for 902, 904, and 906 N. Dodge St.
that are tapped off of the water main in N. Governor Street shall be abandoned, and new services
for 902, 904, and 906 N. Dodge Street shall be installed that are tapped off of the water main in
N. Dodge Street subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The subject property contains regulated slopes and groves
of trees. The applicant submitted a Preliminary Sensitive Areas Development Plan that shows
critical slopes being impacted beyond the 35% which can be approved administratively and
triggering the OPD rezoning. Specifically, the proposed development would impact 86% of the
critical slopes on the property. Although groves of trees are present on the subject property no
woodlands exist; and therefore, the proposed development is not subject to the woodland retention
requirement.
Neighborhood Open Space: According to section 14-5K of the City code, the 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 proposed rezoning, the Owner will be required to dedicate approximately
0.067 acres to the City or pay a fee in -lieu of land dedication. The Owner has requested to pay a
fee in -lieu of a public open space dedication. Staff has accepted their request for a payment in -lieu
of land dedication.
Storm Water Management: The Preliminary OPD Plan includes an area to accommodate storm
water. Public Works staff will review all stormwater management plans as part of the site plan review
process.
Correspondence: As of the morning of February 14, 2025, staff had received three emails from
residents expressing concerns regarding the rezoning. Staff received one email in support of the
rezonina. See Attachment 7.
NEXT STEPS
Upon recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission, a public hearing will be
scheduled for consideration by the City Council. The Owner also has three other pending
applications related to this rezoning: 1) A final plat application which will be reviewed by City Council;
2) A site plan application which will be reviewed by City staff, and 3) A design review application
which will be reviewed by City staff.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of REZ24-0001, a proposal to rezone approximately 5.49 acres of land
between N. Dodge and N. Governor Streets to OPD/RS-12 (approximately 0.17 acres) and
OPD/RM-20 (approximately 5.32 acres) subject to the following conditions:
i[o]
1. In consideration of the City's rezoning the subject property, Owners agree that no building
permit shall be issued for Lot 1 as shown on the Preliminary Planned Development
Overlay Plan until the City Council approves a final plat resubdividing the subject property
to conform to the zoning boundaries established by the rezoning ordinance to which this
Agreement is attached.
2. Prior to the approval of the Final Plat, the Owner shall convert the existing duplex as
shown on Lot 2 of the Preliminary Planned Development Overlay Plan to one dwelling
unit to ensure compliance with the maximum density standards of the zone.
3. As part of Final Plat approval, the Owner shall dedicate public right-of-way and easements
along N. Governor Street consistent with what is shown on the Preliminary Planned
Development Overlay Plan subject to review and approval by the City Engineer.
4. As part of Final Plat approval, the Owner shall grant a temporary construction easement
on the western 10' of the subject property abutting N. Dodge Street.
5. Prior to the issuance of a building permit for Lot 1 as shown on the Preliminary Planned
Development Overlay Plan, the existing water services for 902, 904, and 906 N. Dodge
Street that are tapped off of the water main in N. Governor Street shall be abandoned,
and new services for 902, 904, and 906 N. Dodge Street shall be installed that are tapped
off of the water main in N. Dodge Street subject to review and approval by the City
Engineer.

ITALIANATE STYLE
A POPULAR AMERICAN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY BORROWED FROM CLASSICAL ENGLISH DESIGNERS
INSPIRED BY VILLAS AND PALACES OF ITALY. CHARACTERIZED OFTEN AS A ROMANTICIZED INTERPRETATION OF ITALIAN
RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE. TYPICAL FEATURES INCLUDE FLAT OR LOW PROFILE ROOFS, LARGE OVERHANGING EAVES,
DECORATIVE BRACKETS, CORNICE BOARD WITH LARGE FREEZE BAND, TOWERS, TALL NARROW WINDOWS AND DOORS WITH
TRIM ALONG WITH BALUSTRADED BALCONIES AND PORCHES WITH SLENDER COLUMNS AND BRICK & CLAPBOARD SIDING. THIS
BUILDING STYLE BECAME HIGHLY ADAPTIVE TO INCLUDE HOUSES AND ESTATES, HOTELS, APARTMENT BUILDINGS, BANKS, RETAIL
AND OFFICE BUILDINGS TYPICALLY TWO STORIES ON UP TO FIVE BY THE END OF THE 18001S.
IN LINE WITH THE TRADITION OF ITALIANATE ARCHITECTURE, OUR PROPOSED DESIGN SEEKS TO HONOR THE ESTHETIC PRINCIPALS
OF THE STYLE AND PROVIDE A FUNCTIONAL MULTI -FAMILY HOUSING COMPLEX. BY INCORPORATING ARCHITECTURAL ELEMENTS,
ORNAMENTATION, SPECIAL DETAILING, AND APPROPRIATE PROPORTIONS, WE AIM TO HARMONIZE WITH THE HISTORIC DISTRICT
AND PAY TRIBUTE TO BEAUTY OF THE ITALIAN DESIGN. SPECIAL ATTENTION HAS BEEN MADE TO MAKE THE BUILDING ENTRIES
APPROACHABLE AND THE SCALE OF THE BUILDING BROKEN DOWN INTO ROWHOUSE LIKE MODULES. THE OPEN SPACE,
SCREENED PARKING, WALK WAYS, SITTING AREA, AND LANDSCAPING WILL MAKE A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO THE COMMUNITY.

Dear commission members,
am a longtime northside resident, writing to ask you to deny the current proposal for the lot north if Happy Hollow
park. My concerns are two -fold. Most importantly, this proposal does not include affordable housing, which should be
a top priority for any proposal. Secondly, it is just too big. The proposal crams too much into the space, threatening the
peace and quiet we all deserve. Please reject this proposal. I know all too well what happens when the city carelessly
infills with concentrated apartment buildings --the buildings erect on and adjacent to the 800 block of Jefferson has
greatly increased noise from people and traffic in our neighborhood.

Subject: About the The Barkalow N. Dodge - N. Governor rezoning proposal
"This email originated outside of the City of Iowa City email system. Please take extra care opening any links or
attachments. " Hello,
In case I'm not able to make the meeting tomorrow 1 wanted to let you know I am NOT in favor of the new buildings.
1. The change to Happy Hollow park would basically make it a playground, and not a park.
2. The housing density would create a huge problem with traffic on Governor (where I live).
From Brown Street and Governor, it is basically a blind, quickly sloping curve.
Traffic would have NO TIME to prepare for cars exiting/enterirg the parking area for the new buildings.
This is the biggest problem with safety I see. It is a very busy street and traffic is constant.
Any stoppage of cars would risk collisions from behind.
A stoplight would have no real use in this situation, and would only backup cars or Governor (especially during work
commute time)
And, there are children who walk by and cross the street to go to school each day.
I'm told that the current apartment building just north of the proposed area was actually a compromise made for these
very reasons,
And there are more cars in town than there were 20 years ago. So I have to beiieve that consideration is even more
important now,
Even if only 1 building went in, that would be 40+ peopie there, Many of which will have a car,
So I am against the proposai.
Thank you for reading this and giving it consideration.

Hello Anne,
live at 813 Dewey Street and am directly impacted by this development. I am strongly opposed to the rezoning and
change to the neighborhood. The proposed development is obscenely large and in complete contrast to the
surrounding neighborhood. Why does it have to be so large? It's obvious to me that the developer/owner is trying to
make the maximum profit for himself. Please consider that Iowa City has a lot of this type of housing already and this
particular build is not necessary or welcome. I ask that you please consider all of the tax paying residents up and down
these neighborhood streets who send their kids to Horace Mann School and who play in the local parks. The City has
grown quickly in the last 10 years and I propose that a sensible slow down and appropriately sized plan for the property
be considered.
I also oppose the demolition of the existing homes, and the trees near the North end of Happy Hollow Park. I think that
green space is necessary as a transition to the property.
Thank you very much,

Subject: Objection to Planned Development Overlay (OPD) and RM-20
RISC
** This email originated outside of the City of Iowa City email system. Please take extra care opening any links or
attachments. **
Members of the Planning and Zoning Corrnnission,
I write to express my objection to the Planned Development Overlay (OPD) and RM-20 for the Eollowing reasons.
With regard to the Planning and Zoning Commission proposal:
This zone (RM-20) is particularly well suited to locations adjacent to commercial areas and in areas with
good access to all city services and facilities.
How does this proposed rezoning comply with this statement? The property is not adjacent to a commercial
area. The lack of a sidewalk on Governor means it does not have good access for pedestrians (lacks access to city
services and facilities). This location is not suited for the proposed density shown on this plan based on the words
written in the Zoning Code.
The RM-20 zone also says: Careful attention to site and building design is important to ensure that the
various housing types in any one location are compatible with one another.
The site and building design shows little compatibility with the existing single- family, duplexes, and apartment
buildings in the neighborhood. In order to fit in the number of units proposed these buildings will be 236 feet long
- compare that to a standard city block of 300 feet. These buildings will be almost a block long.
Although the City must abide by the court ruling that imposed R3B zoning on parts of this property, it should not
go beyond that to approve a plan that is incompatible with the single-family, duplexes, and apartment bmildings in this
neighborhood. Yes, some multi family buildings may be appropriate here, but not these two huge buildings.
The zoning code states: OPD Zoning will not be contrary to the intent and purpose of this title, inconsistent
with the comprehensive plan, as amended, or harmful to the surrounding neighborhood
The OPD section also says: Encourage the preservation and best use of existing landscape features through
development that is sensitive to the natural features of the surrounding area.
And: Promote an attractive and safe living environment compatible with surrounding residential
developments.
How does this OPD plan comply with these provision of the zoning code?
In short it does not.
The staff report acknowledges that 86% of the critical slopes will be impacted and most of the trees will be
removed — that just shows that the proposed huge buildings do not take into account the natural features. They
are too big for the property they are trying to fit on.
These are the standards that the Planning and Zoning Commission is supposed to use to evaluate an OPD zoning:
.A, General Standards•
1. The density and design of the planned development will be compatible with and/or complementary to
adjacent development in terms ofland use, building mass and scale,
Again, the proposed 236-foot-long buildings are out of scale even with the existing apartment buildings and in no
way complement the adjacent development.
2. The development will not overburden existing streets and utilities
There are no sidewalks on the west side of Governor Street to provide pedestrian access to this property. Although
Barkalow will put in sidewalks on his property they will lead nowhere. That is against the Comprehensive Plan
policy of putting density where there is pedestrian access.
The staff report contains very little about the environmentally sensitive areas other than to say the 86% of the
Critical slopes will be graded away and the grove of trees adjacent to Happy Hollow park appears to be removed.
I reviewed with Sensitive Areas section of the zoning code. It states the intent is to: Preserve the scenic
character of -hillside areas, particularly wooded hillsides.
And: Encroachment of construction areas into steep and critical slopes must be xninimizcd. If disturbance
ofmom than tbirtyrive percent (35%) of critical slopes is proposed a level II sensitive areas xeviewis
required.
Level 11 requires Planning and Zoning review. If 86% of the critical slopes are to be wiped away (well above the
35% that requires Planning and Zoning approval), and the grove of trees adjacent to Happy Hollow Park is to be
removed, how does this comply with the intent of the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code to develop our
city in a way that respects environmentally sensitive areas? It does not, because too much development is being
proposed on this property. Again, apartment buildings may be appropriate on part of this land and the court
decision does allow development, but not to the extent proposed here.
You are also asked to determine if the proposed rezoning complies with the Comprehensive Plan. The staff report
says it does. But the Central District plan clearly shows 900 and 910 N. Dodge Street as single --family and
duplex. There is no reason to include them in this rezoning other than to double -dip and give more density to
Barkalow — even more density that he could achieve under the court -imposed R313 zone.
The Comprehensive Plan does show Low- to Medium -Density Multifamily on Governor Street, but that should not
lead to the highest density allowed by the IW-20 zone. In addition to density, you must consider the other policies
of the Comprehensive Plan, including neighborhood compatibility and preservation of environmental sensitive
areas like the critical slopes on this property. So, yes, multi -family zoning may be appropriate on Governor Street,
but in weighing all of the Comprehensive Plan policies it should not be the plan before you.

RE: Feb. 19 P&Z N, Dodge-N. Governor rezoning request
** This email originated outside of the City of Iowa City email system. Please take extra care opening any links or
attachments. **
To the Planning & Zoning Commission:
I am writing in regard to the rezoning request for multiple parcels in the 900 blocks of N. Dodge and N.
Governor Streets. I live about two blocks southeast of this property.
While I am strongly in favor of adding more housing to the Northside, and welcome the redevelopment of
these under-utilized parcels, I have two major objections to the developer's current proposal:
As I understand it, this two -building, 84-unit apartment complex will include no affordable
housing. I find this particularly perplexing in that the City has joined with the developer as a co -
applicant for the zoning change. How does a complex of this size align with our Strategic Plan
goals when no affordable units are included? This property's location is ideal foryoung families,
situated on a bus line, and close to Horace Mann Elementary, Hy-Vee, and other amenities. For
these same reasons, the complex will be attractive to college students, senior citizens, and other
groups with significant percentages of low- to moderate income individuals. These populations
will likely be locked out of these apartments if the units are market -rate rentals only.
The damage done to the northern boundary of Happy Hollow Park as part of this development
would, as another neighbor so aptly described it, change this verdant, tree -lined green space
"from a park to a playground." I appreciate the developer's pledge to retain 15 mature trees and
plant 50+ others, but based on the site plans, the tree -lined barrier between this property and the
park would be largely destroyed ---and with it, the woodsy, secluded feeling of the park itself. This
would be a tremendous loss to the Northside and would negatively impact the quality of life of
nearby neighbors, existing and new.
I urge the Commission to require that the developer work with the City to amend the plans for this project
so that some portion of affordable housing is included, and that the entire tree lime along the northern
and northeast borders of Happy Hollow Park be retained.
Thankyou.

N. Dodge-N. Governor rezoning
** This email originated outside of the City of Iowa City email system. Please take extra care opening any links or

Dear P&Z:
Hello! While I LOVE that something will be built on this land- that old low building has been a sad empty site for as long
as I can recall- I am really concerned about rezoning the two properties with houses that border the park. I think it is
really important to keep a buffer between the park and the development. The tree line is an important physical
boundary but also creates a park feeling that is safe and embraces the nature and longevity of this park. This park is one
of the only city ones left where you can stargaze at night- and I worry about the light pollution from this massive build
and no trees to block the light.
(Have you ever been sledding down the hill, collapse in laughter, and then lay in the snow and marvel at the stars?
have with my kids many times here. it makes me love Iowa City every time.)
am trying to understand the plans from the packet, and I am not good at reading elevation and imaging what it would
feel like from the park POV. I wonder if you could request this? As a parent, I don't love the idea of a building creeping
above children -that barrier must stay. This park is now a multi -use park by everyone in the community, I see loads of
college kids, families, kids, play groups here- and this design will turn it into the park of this apartment building. Please
keep the separation of the properties and the wood line, it is a proposal to be built among houses and it should
therefore work as a building nestled among the houses and the park.
I know the city has shown a commitment to low income housing, and this addition to the neighborhood should support
that vision as well. 3 bedroom apartments for families are really needed, and this would be a great location for family
apartments! As 1 understand it, the majority of this lot is zoned for townhouses- maybe it should stay that way. We
really don't need more student apartments- but we do need more homes. I think a better plan can be shown using the
land and within the zoning requirements.
Please do NOT rezone the RS8 and RS12
Thank you for your time,

Subject: Proposed N, Dodge / N. Governor apartment development
** This email originated outside of the City of Iowa City email system. Please take extra care opening any links or
attachments, **
Dear Planning & Zoning Commission,
write as a Northside resident to express my concerns about the proposed rezoning for apartment buildings between N.
Dodge and N. Governor Streets just north of Happy Hollow Park.
The positive aspects of this project include the removal of the old Social Services building currently on the site and the
addition of more housing on the Northside, which is much needed.
It is very important, however, that new development include affordable housing options and doesn't diminish shared
neighborhood social space.
My specific concerns with the proposed development are:
• The lack of designated affordable housing. No developer should be given the go-ahead to create new housing
without a commitment to affordability. I urge the commission to make such a commitment a precondition of
any new housing project approval.
• The removal of trees along the northern edge of Happy Hollow Park. Trees contribute to the environment's
health and sustainability in numerous ways. Every development project should take pains not to remove existing
trees and, where possible, to plant additional ones.
• The buildings will be too close to Happy Hollow Park, abutting the basketball court.
• The scale of the proposed buildings is out of proportion with anything else in the neighborhood.
I am in favor of repurposing or replacing vacant buildings to create new housing options that will enhance the Northside
with affordable units appropriate to the neighborhood's scale that either augment or at least do not erode the existing
social infrastructure.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Gina Hausknecht

February ig, 2025
Dear Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission,
I am writing as an owner and zg year resident of 83o N Dodge Street, a single family home.
My home is the southern neighbor of goo N Dodge Street and I share a driveway with that
duplex, I oppose the request for rezoning in its current state and request removal from the
proposal of the duplex at goo N Dodge Street. I am wholly supportive of multi -family infill
development of an appropriate size that considers the context of the existing neighborhood,
critical steep slopes, and the relationship to the public park..
My understanding is that the Planning & Zoning Commission reviews the rezoning
application through a lens of
I) Consistency with the Comprehensive Plan
z) Compatibility with the neighborhood
The Barkalow/City rezoning proposal is problematic in regard to both principles.
REZONING 900 N DODGE STREET IS INCONSISTENT WITH
THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS;
i) Historically, City Council and Planning and Zoning recognized that the current (RP) high
density multi -family zoning on portions of the proposed rezoning was a"spot zone" and
called that a mistake, They twice tried to bring the zoning in line with the neighborhood.
This was prevented by a conservative Iowa .Supreme Court. Now, staff is proposing to
grant Mr Barkalow expanded zoning beyond what the court allowed. Re: rezoning the
goo N Dodge Street duplex, staff' offer a rationale of desiring consistency" with RM-zo
portions of the property rather than seeking consistency with the nature of the surrounding
neighborhood and with the spirit and letter of the comprehensive plan, What was once
understood as spot zoning has now become the model for density.
z) The staff promotion of a value of consistency" of zoning within the required Planned
Development Overlay (OPD) is contradicted by leaving one of the N Dodge Street Rs-Iz
duplexes as is, but rezoning the other to RIVItzo. Not specified in the Staff Report is the fact
that the OPD allows unused residential density within it to be transferred to the proposed
new buildings, The goo N Dodge Street house sits on a lot of 17,400 sq ft but only 5000 sq ft
arc required for a single family house. By rezoning goo N Dodge Street from Its-Iz to RM-zo
and changing it from a duplex to a single unit, Mr Barkalow is able to transfer unused density,
gaining six (of 84) units in his proposed two buildings. This is obliquely acknowledged on
page Io of the Staff Report, where it is stated that the owner "shall convert the existing duplex
to one dwelling... to ensure compliance with the maximum density standards of the zone:'
I Of 2
3) The two N Dodge Street properties I have been referring to are clearly shown in the
Comprehensive Plan -Central District Plan as Rs-Iz single family/duplex. The Comprehensive
Plan stipulates that these properties are to serve as transition zoning. This southern transition
zone is removed by up -zoning goo N Dodge Street, I invested a significant portion of my
financial resources in my home at 83o N Dodge, adjacent to goo N Dodge Street, with
the understanding that the comprehensive plan is a reliable document. It seems the City is
prepared to override the stated intention of the Comprehensive Plan and Central District
Plan in order to facilitate achieving an inappropriate density for the neighborhood, The
Supreme Court did not obligate the City to include goo N Dodge Street in its decision,
and doing so is in clear violation of the Comprehensive Plan and Central District Plan.
q) The Comprehensive Plan spells out that developments should `support the enhancement
of adjacent areas that. can .serve as assets or offer amenities;' The Zoning Code intent
section re: the Rm-2o zone specifies: "Careful attention to the site and building design is
important to ensure the various housing types in any one location are compatible with
one another.' Achieving maximum density requires inappropriately rezoning designated
transitional housing at goo N Dodge Street, bulldozing 86% of the critical steep slopes
adjacent to Happy Hollow Park, and removing most of the trees on the border. These
plans underscore that this developments footprint is far too big for the neighborhood and
for the space available. The planned development degrades rather than enhances the Park,
overwhelms the neighborhood with its out -of -proportion size, rezones what is specifically
reserved as transitional zoning on N Dodge Street, and thus is not consistent with the stated
letter and intent of the Comprehensive Plan,
It seems the City may be concerned that if they dorit go along with the current proposal,
that the development could be worse due to what is allowed by the Supreme Court decision.
However, given the odd shape of the court -imposed R313zoning, steep slopes on Lot 51, and the
diagonal sewer easement, it is unlikely Mr Barkalow could in practice achieve the theoretical
density permitted by the 11313zone.
Everyone wants gii N Governor Street to be redeveloped. Doing so in a way that
complements the neighborhood and the Park, and is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan
and Zoning Code would be an asset to the community. But the plan before you is inconsistent
with the principles of our guiding documents. I hope you send staff and the developer back to
the drawing board to devise a plan that works better for the environmentally sensitive critical
slopes and for the neighborhood, Thank you for considering my feedback.
Sincerely,
ga wi P(-- 4 �

Comments on Proposed Development
A�o,
** This email originated outside of the City of Iowa City email system. Please take extra care opening any links or
attachments. **
Dear Planning and Zoning Board,
We are residents of the Northside Neighborhood and we write with concerns about proposed
development north of Happy Hollow Park. We are in support of this area's development for apartment
houses, but wish to raise concerns about its impact on the park.
Currently, a rich grove of trees separates the park from the property under consideration. We ask that
those trees be retained as part of any development to provide adequate division between the park and
the proposed construction.
We also ask that adequate plans for water run-off be requested. If the entire property becomes paved or
built, we are concerned about detrimental effects on the park.
Happy Hollow Park is a gem of the northside and is used by many different individuals and groups, both
from the neighborhood and from around the city. Its benefits and appearance should be retained. Any
reasonable developerwould find a wayto do so.
Yours sincerely,
Jacqueline Briggs

** This email originated outside of the City of Iowa City email system. Please take extra care opening any links or
attachments. **
For consideration by the Iowa City Planning Committee,
am writing to express my concern and disapproval of the rezoning and development project for the
Barkalow apartments on North Dodge and North Governor Streets. I am a homeowner in this
neighborhood and my property at 831 N Dodge St is adjacent to the proposed rezoning areas. There are
several reasons why I oppose the proposed project and several concerns that I have if they are approved
as proposed.
What will the impact of the proposed buildings be on local utilities and infrastructure? Will
the burden for alterations or repairs fall to taxpayers or to the new development? What
studies have been done to determine the effect of the proposed development on existing
infrastructure (e.g., impact on sewers)? Have these studies been made public and why if
not?
The physical size of proposed buildings supposes an unacceptable alteration of the
neighborhood as is. These new buildings would be significantly larger than the larger
apartment complex building at 902 North Dodge street: Note the proposed 3-story
buildings have a footprint of 16,520 sq ft compared to the existing adjacent 2-story rental
building at 902 North Dodge with a footprint of 7,832 sq ft. One building alone is 110
percent larger than the biggest building on adjacent property. This large upsize in the
building upends the land use goals and strategies as outlined by the Comprehensive Plan
to "encourage compact, efficient development" or "ensure that infill development is
compatible and complementary to the surrounding neighborhood." A smaller -scale
building could better fit our area without the need to rezone all adjacent properties to
accommodate the largest building that will sit in the Northside Neighborhood. A building
of the proposed size might fit better near a commercial center.
Loss of tree line separating the park from the housing complex. This would be a major loss
to the community as it would forever alter the aesthetics of this small community
park. This tree line is perhaps just as important to the park as the softball field, playground
and other amenities. The tree line defines this park and protects the users from
surrounding noise and visual pollution allowing them to fully immerse themselves in
simple leisure activities. Having a protected place in our community to do this is so
important in today's fast -paced environment. These trees aren't surrounding the park by
accident; they area defining feature of this park and removing them would bean
irreversible mistake.
Traffic issues already exist on Governor and Dodge streets. How much more parking is
planned for the new proposal? And what measures will be taken to ensure traffic safety
with such a major addition to traffic flow? The entrance/exit to the current development
creates safety issues because the visibility for vehicles at that location is limited by the
curve and dip in the road. The area is also unsafe for pedestrians given the absence of (a) a
crosswalk on either road and (b) sidewalk on the Governor side. Winter proposes
additional hazards to this area. Have any studies to traffic flow and traffic habits been
undertaken? Have they been made public? If not, why not?
impact on pro party values. The new development will have a negative impact on property
values in the area. What does the City Planning Committee plan to do to address this
issue?
Poor upkeep of adjacent property. The property at 902 North Dodge, which Is also owned
by Mr. Barkalow, is in terrible condition. Little to no money, time, or effort are spent to
maintain the aesthetics of this property. This has a negative impact on the surrounding
home values. This also reflects on how this current proposal will be maintained after it will
be built. The Northside Community members know that despite the talk of making this
proposed project "architecturally" compatible with the neighborhood, in a few years it will
look just as rundown and poorly maintained as the 902 North Dodge rentals, but on a far
larger scale. Again, this reflects poorly on our neighborhood and impacts our property
values.
• Height of the proposed buildings reaches above the maximum height outlined in the
building stipulations. The Plans indicate a maximum height of 37'. The maximum
allowable height in the proposed zoning designations for RM-20 indicates 35'.
To summarize, this is not the right proposal for this neighborhood. A smaller complex could more easily
integrate into the community without causing such a burden on utilities, streets, and affecting tree lines
and in Happy Hollow park. The negative impact of this complex on our propertyvalues could be
minimized. I would ask the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission to take into consideration how
these changes would permanently affect our Northside Community when considering the size and scale
of Mr. Barkalow's proposal and his track record with the adjacent properties. Excluding the rezoning of
properties at 900, 9001/2, 910 North Dodge, 909, 905 North Governor street would help limit the size and
scale of this project, aswould protectingthe tree line that surrounds Happy Hollow Park. A designated
turning lane that helps alleviate traffic flow issues could also help reduce impact on the neighborhood
and limit scale of these buildings.
The neighborhood wants this area to be developed, but the scope of the proposed project is an
exaggeration that opposes the directions laid out in the city's Comprehensive Plan and will not be a net
benefit to the Northside Community.
Thank you foryour earnest consideration,
Adam Krueger

Dear Commission Members
It is my understanding that the development being considered for Just north of Happy Hollow Parkwill be a
massive imposition on our neighborhood. It has much to recommend it. The land is underused, and good housing
ever needed, apparently, in our community. Stilt, it is a massive project that will have an enormous impact on
Goosetown and the North Side. If undertaken, it will be like dragging that great spaceship, Hancher Auditorium,
across the river, uphill and docking it just north of the park. Maybe two Hancher Auditoriums, for all I know.
An Imposition of such magnitude must take care not to intrude rudely on its neighbors. Private homes in the
immediate area will be hugely affected. And if it is so that more than half the timber on the north edge of the park
will be cut down, that is a lamentable change. Within the last fewyears we have worried about preserving, not
destroying, our urban forest canopy and have taken steps to increase it throughout the North Side. There are fine
old trees in that border, trees with their own history and grandeur. The hackberry by the shelter house and
playground is a specimen of its kind. Every once In a while, when walking through the park, I find bluebirds at
home in those trees. These are assets to be protected, even highlighted in forward thinking, urban design, They
must not be squandered for the sake of the last dollar to be squeezed out of the site.
Presumably the park itself will bean attraction for residents in these apartments. But nowhere in the plans does
there seem to be any concern shown for integrating the two and making it an easy and pleasant walk for, let us
imagine, new parents to stroll with their children down into the park. It seems to me that for the sake of the park
and for that, too, of its immediate neighbors, everything should be set back some and steps taken for a more
graduated transition from one to the other. We are accustomed to speaking of our footprint in such matters and of
making an effort to keep it modest. As this plan stands, that print will be huge, careless, and all but indifferent to
what it brushes up against and even tromps upon.
But you can correct that, and I trust you will.

Dear Planning & Zoning Commissioners, February 16, 2025
As a former resident and business owner (Brown Street Inn) of the Northside
Neighborhood I am writing to express some concerns 1 have about the impacts
proposed rezoning and development north of Happy Hollow Park: 900, 900 112 and
908, 910 North Dodge Street has on the neighborhood. Although we no longer live in
the neighborhood, I have strong feelings for how developments of this magnitude will
impact the neighborhood and its amenities such as Happy Hallow Park.
1. I am a former member of the Planning & Zoning Commission and do not recall
the city ever being a co -applicant on a rezoning/development request. I find this
very problematic. Iowa City governance has rules in place for non -biased
evaluation. How can the City prove it administered an unbiased evaluation in
presenting P&Z Commissioners this rezoning petition when the city is a co -
applicant?
2. Since this is private property, it seems more appropriate that City staff would
present their non -biased evaluation of a request in their Staff Report. As a co -
applicant the impression is given that the city fully supports the entirety of this
request & project,
3. As shown on the proposed site development plans, the placement of buildings
destroys the current wooded barrier north of Happy Hollow Park. Where two
differing zones interface, there should be a meaningful buffer greater than the 14
feet shown.
4. This buffer should be of sufficient size to provide a effective visual barrier
between the park and this development. The quality of some trees shown to be
saved on the south side of the property (elm, cherry and hackberry) is marginal
at best. A new planting buffer should be required that includes both evergreen
and deciduous trees of higher quality than what currently exists.
5. 1 do not see how this proposed development can be construed as being
compatible with the existing neighborhood character as required by the standard
rezoning review criteria. The shear number of proposed units seems to exceed
what would be compatible with the surrounding neighborhood.
6. There does not appear to be any pedestrian connection between this
development and Dodge Street. This should be required so building occupants
would have adequate access to sidewalks and the inbound bus stop on Dodge
Street,
7. The traffic generated by 84 residential units on the site seems problematic since
the only access is located on a northbound one-way street. Traffic coming from
the north, wishing to access this development, would have to use Brown Street
between Dodge and Governor. This 2 block section of Brown Street is brick
pavement and in fairly rough condition.
For these reasons I feel a zoning that allows this level of high -density development is
inappropriate for this site. I urge you to reconsider this request and the planned overlay
development.
Sincerely
Robert Brooks

Dear Commissioners of the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission,
I am writing as a resident of the Northside Neighborhood.The Goosetown Apartments
development and rezoning petition is a complicated matter with a long history that includes
a ruling from the State Supreme Court of Iowa in favor of Mr. Barkalow against the City.
As a Commission charged with the responsibility to serve the public, I would like to point out
that you may find yourself in an unusual position reviewing an application which began as a
rezoning petition from Mr. Barkalow (TSB) and is now a joint rezoning petition from TSB and
the City Staff. Iowa City governance has rules in place for non -biased evaluation. How does the
Commission escape the weight of the City's thumb on this petition when the City Staff is a
co -applicant of a controversial rezoning?
Aside from the procedural concerns, there are problems with the rezoning petition and
development proposal: Page I of the Staff Report states:"The proposed development would allow
for the demolition and replacement of buildings along N. Governor St., including the existing,
vacant commercial office building." So, why does this plan include the rezoning of property on
Dodge St. (specifically 900,900 1 /2 N. Dodge St.) where no infill development is proposed?
Apparently density from the Dodge St. properties can be transferred to a Governor St. address
to increase the maximum size of the building and the number of dwelling units allowed.
The two proposed buildings for the Goosetown Apartments have issues too.
They are much too large for the neighborhood.
— Two three-story buildings
— Dimensions 236 X 70 feet (each building is almost the length of one city block in the
Northside — no other buildings exist on this scale in the neighborhood)
— 133 parking spaces with parking and other paving equivalent to the footprint of the two
dwelling structures; only 2-3 parking places for visitors
— Construction of the development as presented will remove 86% of critical slopes contiguous
to Happy Hollow Park.
— Lack of sidewalks along N. Governor St.
A significant retaining wall as a structural necessity will be built at the bottom of the hill at the
property line of Happy Hollw Park.The area is a sensitive wooded overlay.The retaining wall will
be 5 to 14 feet in height.The buildings are too large for the sensitive sloped property, there are
too many dwelling units, and the scale of development does not fit into the neighborhood.
The City will state that rezoning to a higher density is in the best interest of the citizens of Iowa
City in order to increase available housing units in the city.That can still be accomplished in a
sensible way by amending the proposal to omit 900,900 1 /2 N Dodge St. from the rezoning.
Page 6 of the Staff Report shows Figure 4: Central District Neighborhood Plan for Future Land
Use Map exhibits 900, 900 1 /2 N Dodge St. as a RS-12 property. It's transitional and appropriate
next to a single-family home. Any pretense to abandon this logic goes against the Central District
Plan.
I am supportive of redeveloping the land having N Governor St. addresses and the R313 zoned lots,
and see no need for the lots having N Dodge St. addresses to be rezoned.That is adding density
above what the court decision imposed. I urge you to reject the rezoning application presented.
A rezoning petition which removes the properties 900,900 1 /2 N. Dodge St. could likely result in
a density more appropriate for the sensitive property.
Sincerely,
Sharon DeGraw

Hello Anne -
My name is Michael Neustrom and I am a lifelong resident of Iowa City. I grew up dreaming of living in Goosetown one
day and that dream came true when I bought my first home on North Dodge Street in 2019! 1 always loved the culture
and the peacefulness of the North side of Iowa City. Unfortunately, the past few years have gotten worse and worse
with crime and violence on the North side. Newer residents are up all night drinking and smoking weed outside, while
their young children run through the streets and their teenage children walk around the neighborhood harassing people
out for a walk or walking their dog... not to mention several break ins at a more increasing rate (mainly in people's
garages). I know this because just this past summer my dog and I were on a walk and three teenagers followed us and
threatened to "kick my ass and kill my dog." This was all unprovoked; I guess this is what teens do now on boring
summer days. I picked up my dog and walked back toward my house while the teens chased us down the street and up
my driveway. I chose not to report this because of my own peaceful nature (and distrust for police de-escalation
strategies). All this being said, I am incredibly disappointed that the city once again, is proposing to build more
apartments in a beloved part of town that once was bright with culture. The city has succeeded in the past few years of
completely destroying the parts of Iowa City that I and many others once loved. If you and your commission have any
respect left for this city, I would encourage you all to take into consideration the people who actually live in the
Goosetown area, where most of, if not all of whom are passionately opposed to the Goosetown apartment proposed
construction. These apartments would not only destroy the essence of the North side, but also are very likely to increase
crime in the area. I appreciate you reading my thoughts and I hope they are taken seriously.
Thanks!
-Michael Neustrom

proposed property tax levy is now required to be held prior to the adoption and public hearing
for the proposed budget.
The City's total proposed property tax levy rate of $15.63305 remains unchanged from the
fiscal year 2025 property tax rate. However, a few of the proposed individual property tax
levy rates have changed. The Debt Service Levy was increased $0.08319 to $2.5765 and the
Employee Benefits Levy was decreased by $0.08319 to $3.26096.
The notice of public hearing is to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in Iowa
City, not less than ten days and no more than 20 days before the public hearing, as well as

Resolution
Executive Summary:
There are four public hearings required for the issuance of the 2025 General Obligation
Bonds scheduled for March 11th.
Attached is a project schedule by hearing for the 2025 General Obligation Bonds.
Background / Analysis:
The City issues bonds every spring to fund the current year's capital improvement projects
listed in the Five -Year Capital Improvement Program.
The City's bond attorney, Kristin Billingsley Cooper, determines the number of bond
resolutions required based upon the purpose and classification of the bonds being issued.
Iowa State Code classifies general obligation bonds as either General or Essential. General
obligation bonds classified as General are limited to $1,335,100 per project and are subject
to reverse referendum within 30 days of adoption of the resolution. General obligation bonds
classified as Essential do not have a $1,335,100 project expense cap and are not subject to
reverse referendum.
The public hearings for the 2025 General Obligation Bond issue have a total combined
issuance amount of not to exceed $14,535,100 for projects totaling $14,325,000. The
difference between the two amounts is the estimated bond issuance costs.

Resolution
Executive Summary:
There are four public hearings required for the issuance of the 2025 General Obligation
Bonds scheduled for March 11th.
Attached is a project schedule by hearing for the 2025 General Obligation Bonds.
Background / Analysis:
The City issues bonds every spring to fund the current year's capital improvement projects
listed in the Five -Year Capital Improvement Program.
The City's bond attorney, Kristin Billingsley Cooper, determines the number of bond
resolutions required based upon the purpose and classification of the bonds being issued.
Iowa State Code classifies general obligation bonds as either General or Essential. General
obligation bonds classified as General are limited to $1,335,100 per project and are subject
to reverse referendum within 30 days of adoption of the resolution. General obligation bonds
classified as Essential do not have a $1,335,100 project expense cap and are not subject to
reverse referendum.
The public hearings for the 2025 General Obligation Bond issue have a total combined
issuance amount of not to exceed $14,535,100 for projects totaling $14,325,000. The
difference between the two amounts is the estimated bond issuance costs.

Executive Summary:
This resolution is to adopt an assessment schedule for unpaid mowing, property clean-up,
and snow removal.
Background / Analysis:
The City has the authority under Iowa Code §364.13B to assess the nuisance abatement costs in the
same manner as a property tax. This resolution allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson County
Treasurer the abatement cost to be assessed against the property. This assessment is being pursued
only after the City took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the owners to abate the
nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the sidewalk) and after the owner did not take action to
abate the nuisance, the City abated the nuisance and billed the owner. After being billed at least twice,
these owners still have not paid the abatement costs. The City has sent a letter to the owner giving
them notice that this resolution would be on the agenda, a copy of which is attached to the resolution.
No interest will be charged if the owner pays within 30 days of the first required publication. Attached
as an exhibit to the resolution is a list of the properties that will be assessed and the amount that will be
assessed.

To City of Iowa City Council Members:
I am contacting you regarding the property located at 811. S Van Buren Street, Iowa City, Iowa.
Our previous tenant had a lease ending at the end of July 2024. Their discarded items were on
the curb prior to this date for the City to pick up. The items were tagged with a 24 hour sticker,
but continued to remain on the curb until the next tenants arrived. There are pictures taken of
the items on the curb July 30th. The previous tenant was responsible for the removal of these
items.
On July 261h, we called the City of Iowa City Resource Management Michael Edwards. We
notified him the tenant's items were on the curb for pick up and the charges were to be billed to
the tenant. Mr. Edwards stated it would be billed correctly and it would be taken care of without
a problem,
We called again on July 31st and spoke with Mr. Edwards to make Sure the items would be
picked up before the 1st and to make sure the items were billed to the tenant's account. We
were told they were currently very busy, but assured us the bill would be sent to the tenant.
When the new tenants arrived there were items that had still not been picked up. We gave
plenty of notice. We were told this issue was going to be taken care of properly, We followed up
numerous times and were assured this would not be a problem.
The tenant's trash was supposed to be picked up prior to the 2nd of August. We had called to
make sure proper billing to the tenant was arranged, There is phone record documentation and
photographic documentation included. Please resolve this matter.
Thank you,
Anthony & Jessica Scanlan
