MEMORANDUM
Date: December 16, 1997
To: Steve Atkins
From: Rob Winstead
Re:
Summary from Pre-Design Meeting - Court Street Extended
A Pre-Design meeting was held on Wednesday, December 10, 1997 from 8-9 p.m. at Lemme
Elementary School. Approximately sixty households were invited. Six residents, two staff
members, and two from the consulting firm attended.
Staff, along with the Consultant, presented the general concept of extending Court Street from
its present terminus to the west line of Windsor Ridge Subdivision. Items discussed included an
85-foot right-of-way, 31 or 34-foot paving, an 8-foot sidewalk on the south side, storm sewers,
creek culvert, water main, sanitary sewer crossing, and landscaping. A slide show was
presented to familiarize them with the construction process.
Comments and/or questions made by those attending include:
We don't want it. Why build it now? If Windsor Ridge needs it or wants it, they
should pay for it.
Concerns over additional traffic on Court Street and anticipation of high speeds.
They would prefer a narrower street.
· Concerns about sight distance at the Court Street / Scott Park Drive intersection.
It is already difficult to get across Scott Boulevard on Court Street at certain times
of the day. The project will make it worse. Can a traffic light be installed? Stop
signs are less desirable due to the noise of trucks gearing down at night.
Concerns over kids gathering at end of the extended road to drink and vandalize
property. Can a light be installed for security?
Work around the existing fence line trees to preserve a screen (the fence line will
approximate the south right-of-way). To help accomplish this, carry the existing
4-foot sidewalk on the south side of Court Street east to the park property and
then switch to an 8-foot width.
We addressed the comments and questions as best we could. Some will be analyzed during
design. We will follow up with a mailing to them in January.
Preliminary investigations indicate that right-of-way will need to be purchased from one property.
Two of three people making up that ownership, along with their attorney, attended the meeting.
We will likely need some permanent easements from them for utilities. Also temporary
construction easements from them and several residential lot owners will be required. A
resolution authorizing these acquisitions is on the consent calendar for this evenings Council
meeting.

MEMORANDUM
Date: December 9, 1997
To:
From:
City Manager and CityCounc,l
David Schoon, Economic Development Coordinator
Re:
Joint Agreement with Kirkwood Community College Regarding the Use of Property
Taxes for the Industrial New Jobs Training Program
Kirkwood Community College offers the industrial new jobs training program to area
employers to help train new employees. The training provided through the program is
funded through two possible sources of funds: 1 ) new incremental property taxes from the
employer's project and 2) new jobs credit from withholding taxes from new employee
wages. In October of 1995, as required by the Code of Iowa, the City and Kirkwood
Community College entered into an agreement relating to the use of property taxes and
new jobs credit from withholding taxes to fund the community college's industrial new jobs
training program. State law prohibits a community college from undertaking a new jobs
training project with an area employer unless the community college and the municipality
have entered into an agreement or have jointly adopted a plan relating to a community
college's new jobs training program. The agreement adopted in 1995 was for a period of
two years so as to allow the City and Kirkwood an opportunity to review the effectiveness
of the agreement and renegotiate its contents if necessary.
The proposed agreement continues to require City Council approval for each project
utilizing incrementalproperty taxes both prior to Kirkwood entering into a preliminary
agreement with a company and prior to Kirkwood entering into a final agreement with a
company. Since October of 1995, Kirkwood has utilized the use of incremental property
taxes for only one project within Iowa City. The project was for National Computer
Systems in November of 1995.
At Kirkwood's request and staff's concurrence, the proposed agreement no longer requires
that Kirkwood formally notify the City about each project utilizing only new jobs credit from
withholding taxes. The previous agreement required only notification to the City, not
approval of the City, for those projects using withholding taxes as a funding mechanism.
Given that Kirkwood informally notifies the community of these projects and given that it is
the State that loses the tax revenue as a result of the new jobs training agreement, the
proposed agreement no longer includes the formal notification process for projects only
utilizing new jobs credit from withholding taxes.
~ New jobs credit from withholding: The employer is required to withhold from an employees salary a portion
of that salary for purposes of the state income tax on the employee's salary or wages, Instead of remitting the
total amount so withheld to the State of Iowa, a portion is sent to the community college by the employer to
fund the jobs training project
The term of the agreement is for a period of ten years, which is the standard term
Kirkwood uses in agreements with other communities. However, the agreement does
contain a clause which allows either party, upon thirty calendar day notice to the other
party, to terminate the agreement.

City water is available to the site. Sewer
service is available to the proposed Lot 1;
A sewer service will need to be provided
to the proposed Lot 2.
Police and fire protection are provided by
the City. Refuse collection must be
handled by a private hauler.
The site is accessed via Escort Lane. No
transit service is available west of
Highway 218.
Physical characteristics: The site slopes away from Escort Lane to
the south.
Sensitive Areas Ordinance:
No sensitive environmental features are
identified on the Sensitive Areas Inventory
Map for this site.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Carmen Davis, is requesting preliminary and final plat approval of a Resubdivision
of Lot 7, WB Development, a two-lot commercial subdivision located east of Naples Avenue and
south of Escort Lane. This property was annexed into Iowa city in 1995 as part of WB
Development. Currently, this lot is vacant. The proposed subdivision would split the existing
1.78 acre lot into two lots of 1.15 acres and .63 acres.
ANALYSIS:
Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The subdivision appears to comply with the City's
subdivision regulations. Legal papers have been submitted and are under review. If the
Commission approves this plat, it should be subject to the approval of legal papers prior to City
Council consideration of the plat.
The original WB Development was subdivided in 1995, and Escort Lane and the utilities have
been installed No new streets are being proposed.
Vehicular Access: The proposed plat shows a 24' wide access and utility easement along the
east property line of the proposed Lot 1, which would provide access to Lot 2. A note on the
plat states that Lots 1 and 2 shall not have vehicular access onto Naples Avenue. Staff
requested this note to ensure that access to these lots would be off of the local street instead of
Naples Avenue, which functions as a collector street. While staff does not always recommend
restricted access to collector streets, Naples Avenue has commercially zoned property on the
City and the County side which will generate more traffic as they are developed. Because there
are two other possible access points for the proposed Lot 2 other than Naples Avenue, it is
preferable to prohibit access directly onto Naples Avenue.
The property directly south of this property is going through the subdivision process
concurrently with this property (see SUB97-0025, Resubdivision of Outlot A, WB Development).
An access from the property to the south (Outlot A) to the proposed Lot 2 would be
advantageous to this property. Such an access would require less paving, would provide more
direct access, and would mitigate the need for a long access drive along the eastern property
line of the proposed Lot 1. A more direct access from the south would also lessen the chance
that a future property owner of Lot 2 would attempt to create an access directly onto Naples
Avenue in the future. While staff cannot require the property to the south to provide an access
to the proposed Lot 2, staff recommends that the property owners of these two properties
attempt to come to an agreement to provide access through Outlot A to the proposed Lot 2.
Sanitary Sewer Service: When WB Development was subdivided, a private lift station was
installed to provide sewer service to this area. A lot owners association is the entity responsible
for the maintenance of and any future upgrades of the private sewer system and lift station.
Because the lift station and sewer main only has a limited capacity, any subdivisions of property
and subsequent additions of buildings onto the system decrease the available capacity. With
continued growth in WB Development, there may reach a point where the private lift station and
sewer main do not have the ability to accommodate additional services.
The applicant's consultant has demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Department of Public
Works that there is capacity in the lift station and sewer main to accommodate this subdivision,
as well as the Resubdivision of Outlot A to the south. Because the City requires that one entity
be responsible for the entire sewer system, the lot owners association responsible for the private
sewer system in WB Development will become responsible for any additions to the private
sewer system as well. Staff recommends that approval of the subdivision be subject to
amendments being made to the covenants of the lot owners association to address the new
services being added to the private sanitary sewer system and the maintenance and upgrade
responsibilities of said system.
The proposed Lot 2 also does not currently have a sanitary sewer service. It cannot tap into the
sewer service along Escort Lane because it is downhill from it. It is anticipated that Lot 2 will tie
into the planned sanitary sewer in Outlot A to the south, which is part of SUB97-0025. Should
SUB97-0025 not be approved, it is possible for Lot 2 to run a sanitary sewer line directly to the
lift station to the east. Staff recommends that no building permit be issued for Lot 2 prior to the
installation of a sanitary sewer service to the lot.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB97-0024, a request for preliminary and final plat approval of a
Resubdivision of Lot 7, W.B. development, a 1.78 acre, two-lot commercial subdivision located
east of Naples Avenue and south of Escort Lane, be approved, subject to amendments being
made to the covenants of the lot owners association to address the new services being added to
the private sanitary sewer system, and the maintenance and upgrade responsibilities of said
system, no building permit be issued for Lot 2 prior to the installation of a sanitary service to the
lot, and the approval of legal papers prior to Council consideration.

SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Public utilities:
City water is available to the site along
Naples Avenue. The property would be
served by a private sanitary sewer
system and lift station controlled by
the WB Development lot owners
association.
Public services:
Police and Fire protection will be
provided by the City. Refuse collection
must be handles by a private hauler.
Transportation:
The nearest public transit route is the
Plaen View route, which passes
through the intersection of Mormon
Trek Boulevard and Highway 1.
Sensitive Areas Ordinance:
Steep and critical slopes are present on
the site. A sensitive areas site plan is
required. Development activities
approved under a previous grading plan
will impact areas of critical slopes,
however these activities were
approved prior to the adoption of the
Sensitive Areas Ordinance. If any
further encroachment into areas of
critical slopes is to occur, a sensitive
areas overlay rezoning will be required.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant is requesting preliminary and final plat approval of a Resubdivision of Outlot A
of WB Development, located on the east side of Naples Avenue across from Alyssa Court.
The property contains 15.9 acres. The proposed plat would create one additional building lot
containing 1.89 acres within the development in an area previously designated for open
space. The original plat for WB Development was approved prior to the adoption of the
Sensitive Areas Ordinance, and an associated grading plan was approved at that time which
called for some grading activities to occur in this area to allow the extension of a sanitary
sewer line south to Lot 8. The approved grading will result in the loss of most of the value of
this area as an open space/natural area, and creates a fairly level area along Naples Avenue
that would be suitable as a building site.
3
The applicant has submitted a site plan for a warehousing development on Lot 8, located to
the south of Outlot A, which is being reviewed by staff. There is no point along the Naples
Avenue frontage of Lot 8 to locate a driveway that meets the minimum standards for sight
distance. Therefore, the applicant would like to gain access to Lot 8 via a driveway located
directly opposite Alyssa Court, at a point where the sight distance is adequate. This drive
would also provide the access to the proposed Lot 1 of this subdivision. An easement for
this access drive is included on this plat. Given the fact that extensive grading has already
occurred in this area for the installation of the sewer line, the new drive would have no
impact on the remaining open space/natural area. In staff's opinion, allowing the drive to be
located in such a manner to improve the safety of the access point along Naples Avenue
appears to be justified.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed preliminary and final plat appears to be in conformance with the City's
subdivision regulations. Public Works is in the process of reviewing the most recent version
of the plat to ensure that there are no remaining deficiencies. Staff recommends deferral
pending this review. Legal papers have been submitted and are under review. The approval
of legal papers is required prior to City Council consideration of the plat.
Outlot A contains some steep (18-24%) and critical (25-39%) slopes. Although critical
slopes will be impacted by grading for a sanitary sewer line serving Lot 8 to the south, that
activity was approved as part of a grading plan prior to the adoption of the Sensitive Areas
Ordinance. A sensitive areas site plan is required with this plat to identify steep and critical
slope areas, but a sensitive areas rezoning will only be required if additional encroachment
into the critical slopes is proposed. At this time, no additional encroachment is proposed.
This subdivision will also require the approval of a grading plan and construction drawings for
the sanitary sewer extension prior to Council consideration of the plat.
Naples Avenue Paving: The legal papers for WB Development contained a stipulation
requiring that when Lot 8 is developed, Naples Avenue must be improved from the current
end of the pavement at Alyssa Court to the south property line. Given that the vehicular
access point is now being proposed at Alyssa Court, the applicant is proposing that the legal
papers be amended to delay the obligation to pave the street until Naples Avenue is improved
in the future. If this ever occurs, it is likely that the grade of the roadway will be altered to
lower the crest in the roadway south of this development, which causes the sight distance
problems mentioned above. The applicant is concerned that this would result in much of the
pavement he installs being removed and replaced at that time. However, it will likely be
many years before the City undertakes a road project on Naples Avenue. The east half of
Naples Avenue is located within the City, along with the properties on the east side of the
road. Although this section of the roadway will not be used for access to these properties,
there are other issues such as dust control, maintenance, and the general appearance of the
street. An unimproved or chip seal surfaced roadway would require much more in terms of
maintenance for the City than a paved surface. Staff recommends that the applicant not be
released from his obligation to pave the roadway.
Vehicular Access: The property directly north of Lot 1 is also being proposed to be
subdivided into two lots (see SUB97-0024, Resubdivision of Lot 7, WB Development). As
noted in the staff report for that item, staff feels that it is preferable to minimize the number
of direct access points to Naples Avenue in this area. Therefore, staff is recommending that
direct vehicular access to Naples Avenue from the proposed lots being created by the
Resubdivision of Lot 7 be prohibited. Staff feels that there is a good opportunity to share the
access easement being platted with this subdivision with Lot 2 of the Resubdivision of Lot 7.
The applicants for each item have been encouraged to work together to come to an
agreement on the shared use of this access roadway prior to the final approval and recording
of the plats.
Sanitary Sewer Service: When WB Development was subdivided, a private lift station was
installed to provide sanitary sewer service to this area. A lot owners association is the entity
responsible for the maintenance of and future upgrades to the private sewer system and lift
station. Because the existing system has a limited capacity, and subdivision of property and
subsequent addition of buildings making use of the system decreases the available capacity.
If not carefully managed, there may be a point where the private lift station and sewer main
do not have the capacity to accommodate additional development. The applicant has
demonstrated that there is capacity in the system to accommodate the additional lots being
proposed with the current subdivision applications.
The City requires that a single entity be responsible for the entire sanitary sewer system, in
this case the lot owners association. The extension of a private sanitary sewer main from
the lift station west to serve Lot 1 of this subdivision, as well as Lot 8 of the original
subdivision and Lot 2 of a Resubdivision of Lot 7, will add to the system that the lot owners
association is responsible for. Staff recommends that the approval of this plat be subject to
amendments being made to the covenants of the lot owners association to address the new
services being added to the private sanitary sewer system and the maintenance and upgrade
responsibilities of the system. This will have to occur prior to the approval of legal papers
associated with this plat.
Storm Water Management: A wet-bottom storm water management basin was constructed
when WB Development was developed. This basin would also provide storm water
management for the proposed building lot. The basin can adequately handle the additional
development on this lot, and will not be impacted by construction activities.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB97-0025 be deferred pending review of the plat by Public Works.
Upon Public Works approval, staff recommends that the request for preliminary and final plat
approval of a Resubdivision of Outlot A, WB Development, a 15.9 acre, one-lot commercial
subdivision with one outlot located on the east side of Naples Avenue at Alyssa Court, be
approved, subject to amendments being made to the covenants of the lot owners association
to address the new services being added to the private sanitary sewer system and the
maintenance and upgrade responsibilities of said system, and the approval of legal papers,
construction drawings, a grading plan, and a Sensitive Areas Site Plan prior to Council
consideration of the plat.

December 11, 1997
Reorganization and Pay Plan Amendment
On the agenda for your December 16th meeting you will find an
item to consider a resolution amending the budgeted positions in
the Parks and Forestry Divisions. This is the result of a
reorganization plan I have proposed to the City Manager. The
basic components of this plan are:
Eliminate the position of Parks Superintendent
(vacant)
Eliminate the position of City Forester
Create the new position of Superintendent of Parks and
Forestry (including CBD)
Create a new Senior Maintenance Worker position
Create a new Clerk/Typist position
Reclassify one existing Senior Maintenance Worker
position (changes in responsibility)
The enclosed organizational chart will provide a clearer picture
and assist you to envision the setup of this new division. We
are eliminating two management positions and replacing them with
one management, one maintenance and one clerical at a cost
savings of approximately $15,000 the first year.
The primary purpose for this reorganization is to create a more
efficient operation. While the Parks, Forestry and CBD
operations will retain much of their own identity, they will now
be one division working under one manager, resulting in more
assistance to each other. It will not be uncommon to see Parks
crews assisting Forestry or CBD personnel and vice versa.
I will be attending your December 15th work session to discuss
this with you and answer questions. In the meantime, should you
have any questions please feel free to give me a call.
