be made prior to development. If
wetlands are present, a sensitive areas
overlay rezoning is necessary. If
wetlands are not present, a sensitive
areas site plan is required. The
property also contains areas within the
100 year flood plain.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Wisdom Development Group, is requesting a preliminary and final plat of
Westport Plaza, Part Two, 14.41 acre, one-lot commercial subdivision with one outlot located
on the southeast side of Highway 1 West, north of Sunset Street. Most of this parcel is
location within the runway protection zone for runway 12 of the Iowa City Municipal Airport.
The Airport Master Plan indicates that this area should be purchased by the Airport, and the
Airport Commission has made it known that it intends to pursue this property. The area set
aside as Lot 1, 2.32 acres at the south end of the parcel, is not located within the runway
protection zone. The area contained within proposed Lot 1 was rezoned last year from I-1,
General Industrial, to C1-1, Intensive Commercial, subject to a conditional zoning agreement
(CZA) which contains provisions regarding site and building design and vehicular access. The
requirements of the CZA would not be altered as a result of the approval of this plat.
ANALYSIS:
Revised plats were recently submitted in response to staff comments regarding a number of
technical deficiencies that were identified on the initial submittal. The plats are being
reviewed to ensure these items have been corrected. Staff recommends deferral pending
approval of the revised plat by staff and Public Works. Prior to Council consideration of the
preliminary plat, a grading plan must be approved. Prior to Council consideration of the final
plat, legal papers will have to be approved. Both of these items have been submitted for
review.
Sensitive Areas Ordinance: According to the City's Sensitive Areas Inventory map, this
property contains fully hydric soils. The Sensitive Areas Ordinance requires that a wetland
determination be made when fully hydric soils are present. If wetlands are present, a
sensitive areas overlay rezoning will be required. If not, a sensitive areas site plan must be
submitted which illustrates the hydric soils areas and 100 year flood plain. The preliminary
plat contains a note referencing the City's Sensitive Areas Inventory map which states that
the property contains "hydric soils exclusive of wetlands." However, during the development
of the Sensitive Areas Ordinance it was recognized that this is not necessarily the case, and
that areas designated as containing fully hydric soils should be studied to determine whether
wetland conditions are present. The note provided on the plat does not satisfy the wetland
determination requirements of the Sensitive Areas Ordinance. When this property was
rezoned in 1996 the staff report noted that a wetland determination would be necessary prior
to the approval of a development permit. Given the time of year, it will likely be difficult to
have this determination made during the platting process. If this plat is approved, the
developer should be made aware of the fact that a wetland determination will be required
prior to the granting of a building permit for the development of this lot. A sensitive areas
site plan has been submitted and will be reviewed based on the assumption that no wetlands
are present. This plan must be approved prior to Council consideration of the preliminary
plat. However, if wetlands are present a sensitive areas overlay rezoning will be required
prior to development.
Vehicular Access: No new streets are being proposed as a result of the proposed
subdivision. Access to lot one would come from the development to the south (Menards,
NAPA). The plat contains a note prohibiting direct vehicular access from either lot to
Highway 1, as does the CZA. There is a proposed easement for a potential frontage road
connection across this property from Westport Plaza (Walmart) to the Dane Tract (Menards).
This easement does not extend across Lot 1. However, both the plat and the above noted
CZA specify that a connection through Lot 1 will be provided for within the circulation
system of any development on that lot. A note referencing the CZA and its access
requirements is shown on the plat. While it is unlikely that this connection will be made as
long as the airport is in existence, if the airport should ever close or be relocated and this
parcel be made available for development a physical connection could be made at that time.
Storm Water Management: Storm water management is required for Lot 1 of this
subdivision, but is being deferred for Outlot A given its limited development potential and the
likelihood that the property will be purchased by the airport. When development is proposed
for that lot storm water management will have to be provided. Drainage calculations for Lot
1 have been submitted and an easement for a storm water management facility is shown on
the plat at the east end of Lot 1.
A water main tap-on fee of 9354 per acre is required for Lot 1 of this subdivision. As with
the storm water management requirements, this fee will not apply to the acreage of Outlot A.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB97-0034 be deferred pending review and approval of the revised
preliminary and final plats. Upon staff approval of the plats, staff recommends that the
request for preliminary and final plats of Westport Plaza, Part Two, a 14.41 acre, one-lot
commercial subdivision with one outlot, be approved, subject to the approval of a grading
plan and a sensitive areas site plan prior to City Council consideration of the preliminary plat,
and subject to the approval of legal papers prior to Council consideration of the final plat.

Foundation permits
The Iowa City Building Code allows the Building Official to issue a permit for
construction of part of a building before the plans for the whole building have been
submitted and approved. The most common application of this provision is foundation
permits. The Building Inspection Division used to issue foundation permits upon request
but ceased this practice about six years ago due to increased problems arising with
partial permits. The most common problem was continuation of the project beyond the
foundation without securing the additional permits. There were also a few instances
where the foundation was installed and the project was then abandoned for an
unacceptable period of time.
The Home Builders Association of Iowa City has requested and we have agreed to once
again issue foundation permits to expedite the start of "fast track" projects. We have
discussed the past problems with representatives of HBA and advised them that we will
closely monitor the situation and revisit this issue if past problems are again occurring
with any frequency. The most expedient way for us to achieve this for one and two
family dwellings is with a separate foundation permit with a flat fee. This approach will
also cause the least distortion in the accuracy of our monthly reports of building
statistics. The proposed fee of $75.00 was derived by averaging the additional costs of
separate permits for a foundation and a house for homes in different price ranges) We
expect to be able to issue the vast majority of foundation permits for one and two family
dwellings within 24 hours of application.
Foundation permits for all projects except one and two family dwellings will be handled
as separate building permits. The actual value of the foundation work will be used to
compute the cost of the permit just as it is for all other building permits. Since these
larger projects must go through the site plan review process before any permit can be
issued, the time frame for issuance of a foundation permit is expanded. Therefore the
additional time required to calculate the permit fee based on the value of the work
should not be a factor. In addition, since there are a fewer number of these larger
projects, the extra work required to maintain the accuracy of our monthly statistics will
be kept to a minimum.
~ For example the building permit fee for a $150,000 house is $656. The building permit for a
$15,000 foundation is $136 and the fee for a $135,000 house is $611. In this case it would cost
the applicant $91 extra for two separate permits.
