Re:
Repealing the Resolution Establishing the Northgate Corporate Park Urban
Renewal Plan and Rescinding the Corresponding Tax Increment Financing
Ordinance
In July of 1992, the City Council adopted a resolution establishihg the Northgate Corporate
Park Urban Renewal Plan and an ordinance establishing a tax increment financing (TIF)
mechanism to assist National Computer Systems (NCS) with the construction of a new facility
in Northgate Corporate Park (see attached location map). The Plan was specifically designed
and established for a potential NCS expansion. This expansion has taken place on NCS' own
site and other development activity has taken place within the urban renewal area, such that
the Urban Renewal Plan no longer serves its original purpose. The resolution on your agenda
states the Council's intent to hold public hearings on March 26, 1996, on rescinding the urban
renewal plan and repealing the tax increment ordinance.
The property owner has been informed of the City's intent to repeal the urban renewal plan
and TIF ordinance. As the attached letter indicates, the proper~y owner does not object to
this action.

Deer Harry:
Upon reviewing my files, it has come to my attention that the City should consider rescinding
the resolution adopting the Northgate Corporate Park Urban Renewal Plan and the
corresponding Tax Increment Ordinance. Given that the Urban Renewal Plan was specifically
designed for a potential National Computer Systems expansion, which expansion has taken
place on NCS' own site, and given the recent site plans for Lots 4 & 6, Highlander
Development First Addition, it appears that the Urban Renewal Plan no longer serves its
original purpose.
Staff's intent is to bring this issue before the City Council in the near future. If you have
objections, please contact me as soon as possible. Otherwise, would you please provide in
writing that you do not object to the recision of the Urban Renewal Plan and Tax Increment
Ordinance.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 356-5236.

Physical characteristics:
Police protection is provided by the

Fire protection is provided by Solon.
Vehicular access is provided via New-

The site has steep to rolling topogra-
phy, with a creek running through the
north side of the property.
BACKGROUND iNFORMATION:
The applicant, Lucus S. Van Orden IV, is requesting approval of a preliminary plat for Newport
Ridge Subdivision, a 12-lot, 25.50 acre residential subdivision located in Fringe Area 3, north
of Newport Road, ~ mile east of its intersection with Prairie Du Chien Road. The property
is a resubdivision of Lot 6 of Newport Woods Subdivision. The current fringe Area Policy for
Area 3 encourages residential development.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed subdivision contains 12 lots generally configured around a proposed private
street known as Pond Lane. Two lots, Lots 7 and 8, have frontage on Newport Road. Lot
1 5, containing an existing house has access to Newport Road via an access easement across
Lot 7. This easement covers the existing driveway for the house and does not create a new
access point on Newport Road
The site contains areas with steep slopes, a potential wetland and a stream. All three of
these environmental features trigger the requirement for submission of a grading plan. The
Sensitive Areas Ordinance does not apply to this subdivision, because it is located in the
County, and the proposed design does not appear to be in conflict with the intent of the
ordinance. The proposed building sites are located away from the steep slopes and outside
of wooded areas located n the north and east of the property.
The proposed subdivision appears to comply with City rural design standards. All of the
proposed lots have access to a public or private street, and if access to Lot 8 is restricted to
Pond Lane, the number of access points to Newport Road will be minimized, Stormwater
management calculations for this property were included in the approval of the final plat of
Newport Woods Subdivision. These calculations and the easements provided for stormwater
management satisfy the stormwater management requirements for this site.
State Code requires that the purpose of all Outlots be stated on plats. Outlots C and D do not
state a purpose. Staff also has some concern with the proposed design of Pond Lane. The
lane contains a north facing 10% grade in combination with a sharp curve that may be
difficult for vehicles to negotiate during times of bad weather. However, both the steepness
of the road and the curvature are within city standards.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat of Newport Ridge Subdivision be deferred but that
upon resolution of all deficiencies and discrepancies listed at the end of this report, staff
recommends approval of the plat subject to approval of the Grading Plan prior to City Council
consideration of the plat.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. All outlots must state a purpose.
2. A note limiting access for Lot 8 to Pond Lane should be added.
3. A letter from the appropriate Fire Protection District approving fire protection systems
is required under Section 2.2 of City Rural Design Standards, contained in the Approved
Fringe Area Agreement.

MAYOR NOVICK
AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
COUNCIL
March 5, 1996
You have on your agenda this evening an item that will certify
a city billing to be placed on certain properties owned by Plum Grove
acres Inc. This certification will allow Johnson County to collect
the bill for Iowa City.
I have prepared a resume of the events that led to this request
certification..
During June of 1995 the City of Iowa City claim that they sent
out a notice to Plum Grove telling them to mow some weeds
or the City would mow the weeds and send a bill.
Plum Grove did not receive a notice.
On Sept 18, 1995 Plum Grove received a bill for $205 for the
alledged mowing. On Sept 19th Plum Grove asked for a clue
as to where the alledged mowing took place. On Sept 22, 1995
Plum Grove received a letter stating that the mowing took
place on Parcel 65320002 and that it took four hours
to mow this parcel. A check with the court house showed that
this parcel is 22 feet wide and 111 feet long. A visual check
of this property shows that there is a large black dirt pile
on the property, a large pile of wood chips and a truck
body. Mowing on this parcel is impossible.
Plum Grove asked the city by return mail if the mowing
company used "manicure sissots" to do the mowing and then
Plum Grove filed the billing away.
On Dec 6,1995 Plum Grove received a letter from the City
asking for payment. Plum Grove replied by letter on Dec 11th.
On Feb 15, 1996 Plum Grove received a letter expanding the
alledged mowed area to all the lots owned by Plum Grove on the
west side of Scott Park Drive from Court Street north to
to the city limits.
On Feb 22, 1996 Plum Grove received a letter from the City
stating that the mowing charge would be put on only three lots of the
alledged mowing area and that the bill would then be a lien on
those lots until paid.
City Council: March 5, 1996
PAGE TWO
Today, March 5th is the meeting day when this alledged mowing
bill will be swept under the rug by council action.
I have no doubt that something was mowed in the area.o.but no
one knows where. One thing is certain...the lots on the west side
of Scott Court were not mowed by CAREW, Even the bill states
that the mowing was done on a different street.
I have had by fun asking the Atkins people to identify the
mowed areea with interesting results. At this time I am enclosing a
PLUM GROVE check for $205 for some alledged mowing°
A lesson to be learned from this fiasco is that a telephone
call to a tax payer asking that a certain piece of property
be mowed would result in that request being satisfied in
twenty four hours. Do you know that a telephone call now
costs less in Iowa City than flushing the toilet?

Dear Mr. Glasgow:
As I was preparing the information to proceed on the collection of unpaid mowing
charges from July 1995, I reviewed the legal description of parcel //6532002 on Scott
Park Drive where the mowing had taken place. That parcel has a frontage of lll' and
an average depth of 22'. Julie in Housing and Inspection Services checked with Carew
Landscaping and was told that the mowing had been done on that parcel, Lot 64 and
the adjacent lots, 58 - 63.
With the information that the work was done on Lots 58 ~ 64, the amount charged for
mowing seems more reasonable. I hope this information is helpful to you.
Pleasecallmewithany questions at 356-5086. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Ann S. Maurer

Dear Ms: Mauer
Thank you for your reminder of the $205.00 billing by
the city for some alledged mowing.
I am enclosing all the correspondence that I have had
with the weed commissioner .... Julie Tallman.
She was very prompt in identifying the parcel of ground
that was alledgedly mowed by someone named Carew.
The press of city ordinances that we taxpayers must fight
day in and day out with the present council and present
manager makes us tend to forget the correspondence.
I sometimes wonder if it is stupidity or harassment or if
the City is just as busy doing all these things that
they were not elected to do that makes billings such as this
so difficult to resolve°
Please research the Parcel No. indicated in the weed
commissoners letter and then try to visualize the mowing
of this lot for $180.00. The billing states that a
mower was used for four hours on this job. One could have
used a manicure scissors and done the Job in two hours.
I am still waiting for the names of the people who complained
about the weeds. Do I have to use the "Freedom of Information
Act" to get this information?
I suggest that you get your information corrected before you
allow the legal department to look stupid in front of the
court.
S~c~ely ....
