now subject to review by Iowa City as
a result of a 28E agreement negotiated
last year.

SPECIAL INFORMATION:

Physical characteristics:
March 11, 1996
This property lies outside of the City's
growth area, indicating that it would be
difficult to sewer this area.
Police protection would be provided by
Johnson County, and fire protection
would be provided by the City of Hills.
No Iowa City transit routes serve this
area.
Approximately the west one-third of
this property, containing most of the
proposed lots, is relatively flat. The
eastern portion of the property contains
a series of ridges and deep wooded
ravines.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Jeffery L. Maxwell, is requesting preliminary plat approval of Woodland Ridge
Subdivision, Part One (previously named Southridge Place), a 20-lot, 55.95 acre residential
subdivision located on the east side of Dane Road at its intersection with Osage Street. This
property is zoned RS, Suburban Residential. The plat also contains two outlots designated
as common open space. Lot 20 is intended to be resubdivided for future development at a
later date.
ANALYSIS:
The plat contains some deficiencies that must be addressed prior to action by the Commis-
sion. Staff recommends deferral until these items are addressed. In addition, a Grading Plan
is required due to the steep slopes present on the property, which must be approved prior to
City Council consideration of the plat.
Design Standards: This area is not addressed in either tho Comprehensive Plan or the Fringe
Area Agreement. Prior to last year, the City of Hills had review authority over this area due
to the fact that the CRANDIC railroad, located to the east of this site along S. Riverside Drive,
is located within the Hills corporate limits. A 28E agreement reached last year between the
two cities gives subdivision review authority for this area to Iowa City. Since the revised
Fringe Area Agreement has been delayed for various reasons, there is no adopted policy to
guide decisions on development items in this area. The 28E agreement with Hills states that
the City may require the same or a lessor standard of review used for approval of subdivisions
within the corporate limits.
This site is already zoned residentially and therefore residential use of this property is
permitted. However, a decision must be made as to whether or not full City Urban Design
3
standards should be applied to this site. This site lies outside of the City's growth area
boundaries, and therefore, cannot be easily served by City water and sewer. Adjacent
properties could be served by these services at some point in the future, however, there are
no short range plans to extend services to this area. It is possible that this property, being
located adjacent to the City's growth area boundary, could someday be annexed into the City.
Imposing full City standards raises a number of questions, however, and some of the
standards may not be appropriate for this development. Since this area is not actually within
the growth area boundaries, many of the standards may be unnecessary. Staff recommends
that City Rural Design standards be enforced for this subdivision based on the following
information:
The cul-de-sac shown on the plat has already been constructed and consists of a
concrete surface with curb and gutter, but is only 25 feet wide. City Urban Design
standards require 28 feet, and City Rural Design standards require only 22 feet with no
curb and gutter. Given the size of the development and the fact that it has already been
constructed and will be more durable than typical streets in county subdivisions, the
existing street seems adequate in this situation.
The storm sewers that were installed when the street was built do not meet City
standards. However, the Engineering Division feels that the existing situation is better
than a typical county subdivision which utilizes roadside ditches.
Due to the lack of existing pedestrian destinations, such as a park, bus stop, or
neighborhood commercial development, and no plans to develop such facilities in the
foreseeable future, staff feels it is not necessary to require the installation of sidewalks
in this instance.
A storm water management easement is provided on the plat for a portion of the
subdivision, however, construction of the basin is not required at this time. If the
property is ever annexed or resubdivided, construction of the basin can be required if
necessary. Lots 1 through 9 do not drain to a City watershed and therefore no storm
water management is required for that area.
Future Development on Lot 20: The preliminary plat contains a large lot (Lot 20) that is
intended for future development. Earlier versions of the plat contained a concept plan
indicating the possible future development of this area. The concept plan included an
extension of the existing cul-de-sac to the east to accommodate development on the next
ridge, which would involve crossing two ravines and would result in a cul-de-sac approximate-
ly 2,500 feet in length (see attached). The current length of the roadway is approximately
1,5OO feet. Staff had some concerns about the design of the future development area and
requested that the concept be removed from the plat. In order to provide secondary access
for both this development and the property to the north, staff recommends that future
development on Lot 20 include a roadway stubbing to the north to the east of Lot 19, which
could be continued into the adjacent property when it is subdivided. The remaining ridge to
the east could also be accessed from the property to the north to avoid extensive filling of the
ravine in this area. Staff would not support extending the cul-de-sac any longer than the
existing roadway with no provisions for secondary access given the topography and the
impact of the roadway on the ravines on the site. This issue will have to be addressed when
the preliminary plat for the future development of Lot 20 is submitted.
Septic System Limitations: Lots 16, 17, and 18 contain limited building areas due to steep
slopes. The County Health Department is evaluating the feasibility of installing septic systems
on these lots. Representatives from the Health Department have indicated that it is unlikely
that a recommendation will be available prior to the Commission's consideration of the plat,
but will likely be available for consideration by the County's Zoning Commission.
Open Space: The plat contains two outlots labelled as common open space. The legal papers
at the time of the final plat should tie the maintenance of these areas to a homeowners
association.
Dane Road Right of Way: Since it may be a future City arterial street, a 40 foot half right of
way is being dedicated along Dane Road at the west edge of the subdivision. In addition, the
plat contains a note prohibiting access to Lots 1, 4 and 5 from Dane Road.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB96-0003, an application for preliminary plat approval of
Southridge Place, be deferred pending resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed
below. Upon resolution of these items, staff recommends approval, subject to the approval
of a Grading Plan prior to Council consideration of the plat.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Woodridge Circle should be renamed due to the existence of another street with
similar name (Woodridge Avenue).
2. Existing utilities along Dane Road and Osage Street should be shown.
3. Easements must be shown for storm sewer culverts located outside of the right of way
and the well (the well easement is shown on Lot 7, but not labelled).
4. Final approval of the revised plat by Public Works is needed.

February 12, 1996
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Dav-Ed Ltd., is requesting preliminary plat approval of Galway Hills, Parts Three
and Four, a 27.77 acre residential subdivision consisting of 78 lots and two outlots. The
property lies south of Galway Hills, Parts One and Two, and east of Highway 218. This
property is roughly the same area for which a request was recently submitted to rezone
property to RS-8, Medium Density Single-Family Residential, but was withdrawn prior to any
action by the Commission. The applicant now intends to subdivide the property under its
current zoning classification of RS-5, Low Density Single-Family Residential.
ANALYSIS:
The preliminary plat contains one deficiency which should be addressed prior to action by the
Commission. Due to the presence of a stream corridor (Willow Creek) and steep slopes on
the property being subdivided, a Grading Plan and a Sensitive Areas Site Plan are also
required, and must be approved by staff prior to City Council consideration of the plat. Both
have been submitted and are currently under review.
Secondary Access: Approval of this plat will result in 141 lots being served by a single
access point along Galway Drive at Melrose Avenue. However, because Galway Drive is a
collector street, this falls well below the traffic threshold of 2,500 vehicles per day for
requiring secondary access to be provided based on the City's secondary access policy.
Within the interior of the subdivision, all points of single access on local streets (and potential
points of single access if the streets in one part are completed before the other) meet the
secondary access policy in terms of the traffic generated (less than 500 vehicles per day).
The proposed plat appears to meet the City's secondary access policy. However, staff
recommends that secondary access be required for any future phases of this development.
Although the secondary access policy is met by this plat design, Tipperary Road as proposed
would be a long dead end road (1,300 to 1,400 feet long) - a situation that could possibly
exist for many years. The plat includes a temporary turnaround at the end of Tipperary Road
to allow emergency vehicles, service vehicles, and motorists who unknowingly turn down the
dead end roadway to turn around. When the roadway is extended in the future and the dead
end situation no longer exists, the turnaround can be removed. Public Works and the Fire
Marshall are fewewing the plat to determine whether the turnaround is adequate for
emergency and service vehicles. Staff hopes to have th~s ~ssue resolved before Thursday's
formal meeting.
Neighborhood Open Space: The proposed plat contains two outlots, both containing
stormwater management easements. The southernmost outlot, Outlot 3, is also the site of
a trail that the City plans to construct along Willow Creek. This development is obligated to
provide six acres of dedicated public open space based on a Conditional Zoning Agreement
attached to a past rezoning of a portion of this property. The Parks and Recreation
Commission had reviewed a concept plan for this development in the past and recommended
that open space be accepted at the south end of the property along Willow Creek, and near
the northeast corner of the property. Outlot 3 is in an area that could be accepted as
dedicated open space and credited toward the six acre requirement, but lacks the street
frontage required by City Code for dedicated open space, and, depending on the design of the
stormwater basin, may not be useable open space as required by code.
The applicant has indicated on the plat that a connecting trail between Tipperary Road and
the proposed Willow Creek Trail will be constructed as part of the next phase of this
development if the City's trail is in place at that time. The applicant is apparently concerned
about constructing a trail to "nowhere" at this time when funding for the City's trail has not
yet been guaranteed. In staff's opinion, a trail access from Tipperary Road south at least to
the south end of Lot 92 should be required at this time in order to make the dedicated land
accessible to the public, a requirement of the Neighborhood Open Space provisions of the
Subdivision Ordinance. The extension of the trail from this point south to the Willow Creek
trail could either be required as part of the next phase of the subdivision, or money for its
construction could be held in escrow for a reasonable period of time, to be used for
construction at such time as the Willow Creek trail is constructed.
More information about the stormwater management facility being proposed on Outlot 3 is
needed to determine whether or not it meets the requirements for useable public open space.
Dry bottom detention basins can be accepted as neighborhood open space if it is determined
that the area is useable as recreation space most of the time. Staff hopes to have more
information on this issue at Thursday's formal meeting. This information will be forwarded
to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review to determine whether the proposed
dedication should be accepted.
Outlot 2 is occupied mainly by a stormwater management easement and a hillside. Due to its
topography, this area was not recommended as public open space by the Parks and
Recreation Commission. It will remain as private open space maintained by a homeowners
association.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat for Galway Hills, Parts Three and Four, be deferred
pending resolution of the deficiency listed below. Upon resolution of this item, staff
recommends approval.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
It is not clear on the plat where Part Three ends and Part Four begins. This needs to be
clarified on the plat.

February 15, 1996
Galway Hills Subdivision
In view of the developer's proposed changes to the Galway
Hills subdivision (parts 3 and 4), the Parks and Recreation
Commission revisited the open space issues for this area, at
their meeting of February 14, 1996.
The Commission decided not to change their official position
as voted on at their meeting of March 1, 1995. The motion at
that time, which passed unanimously, was "...to accept the
northeast and south parcels for the purpose of constructing
a trail on the east border to connect the two parcels, and to
obtain from the developer additional land for open space that
is flat, above the high water mark, and contiguous to the
south parcel."
The parcels referred to are identified on the pre-preliminary
plat dated 2-2-95. On this plat, the northeast parcel shows
2.56 acres of open space, and the south parcel shows 5.15
acres of open space.
In discussing this issue last night, the Commission
recognized that it would be beneficial to the subdivision
residents if a neighborhood park could be centrally located
within the subdivision. However, when considering
neighborhood open space locations, the Commission looks at
the entire district, and not just the subdivision. For this
district, the south parcel is somewhat centrally located, is
an important segment of the proposed Willow Creek Trail, and
provides possibilities for future parkland expansion.
If you need further information, or if anyone would like to
discuss this in greater detail with the Commission, please
feel free to contact me. ~/~

Dear Lea Supple,
Wc want to express our c. onc~rns regardin8 the submi~d phl~ from Mr. Dave Cal~, for
Galway Parts 3 and 4, to 1~ discussed at public heating.lanuary 25, 1996.
The three top maps axe included to show the progression of layout changes in as short a
period as one year. We world like you to spedfically look at the new road from Killarney
to Tiporary where the new lots back up to Part I.
As owners of property in Part l, wc see the changes as drastic and unnecmssary. When we
bought here in the summer of 1994, wc werc led to believe this suMivision would devclop
into more of the same housing with usable open space set aside. We are not seeing any
accountability for the misleading current sign at the entranc~ to Part 1, or to the maps and
plans available which we based our derision upon. Our lot #30, colored in on the top map,
went from THREE appropriately angled adjacent Iot~ on our blgk lot line to SEVEN back
lots artsled like rays from our proper~y. (map 3).
The last map is by no means professionally drawn, however, it shows no change to Part 3
along 218 and suggests there are possible acceptable solutions for ds neighborhood.
With a slight decrease in total number of lots (-two) for Parts 3 and 4, much can be done
to beautify that area by allowing open space and preserving many beneficial and attractive
trees, thus making it more desirable for past and future buyers and also fififilllqg some
required needs ofthc subdivision. We feel this would benefit the development and the
developer and tried to speak to Mr. Cabill ourselves, however, he was not interested and
told us to take it up at the hearing.
Please review this information and contact ns with any questions or suggestions. Our phone
is 337-7634. We ask that you defer any approval of the platt until a thorough discussion of
ILLfiLliP?Ill

Dear Naomi Novick,
There are several points that we want to bring to your attention concerning the pre 'lu~ainary plat for Galway
parts 3 & 4, which comes before you on March 25th & 26th.
1. The plat does not incorporate green space for the 20 homes m part 1. I believe Patios & Rec'~ation is
b~dsd by the bike trail project. We support the trail and are anxious to see it completed. however, does
the trail need 3 acres ofswamp that is removed from ems~ag homes? The ~nal plats for par~ 3 & 4 can be
approved on a foot by foot basis, so who's to say when or ira toad or sidewalks will lead to the lower comer
and then the questien of when the city would develop it into a park ~o looms ove~ ~ whole project.
What would be best for our city, an improved park maintained by w~ng homeowners or mowed weeds
which may not be improved in our life~me?
2. The addition of Par~ 2, 3 & 4 with a total of 141 lots, including the cu~ent 39, would dramatically
increase the traffic, yet we and our children would have to share the roadway, as we walk to buses,
school or wherever, with cars and co~-~auction vehicles. Part I contains 39 lots, 16 of which are
undeveloped and have no sidewalks. There would remain only one entrance into Galway Hills from
Melrose Avenue.
3. Part of the reason for b~ this problem to your attention is to show what happens when p~l pht
appmvah are allowed. Home buy~ have no pom'bility ofknowin§ what character a new subdivision will
have. Our hornes are typically our latest and most nupo~tant investment. Most buyers were shown the
only available concept plan for the area and many were ancoin'aged s~ongly with the same plan by the
developer himself We all based our decisions on the informarian given to us. This is our ath home
purchase,and we have never been made to feel so misled and betrayed. Part 3 included am'active cul de
sacs, m part 4 the road configuratious are drastically changed, now 10 lots back onto 3 lots in part 1. The
maps are included to show the progresston in layout changes in as short of period as one year.
There are many fence line trees between pa.~ 1 & 4 but with the drastic changes they will be lost. The
trees in our fence lines don't q~,~ti~y for protecuon, even so they could be incorporated into a park area or
posiuoned at 'rite back oflo~s. We appreciate the value ofth~c I~r. us fu~ ~,~uti~,, noise con,ok ~ qual~'
and wtldlifa habitat The opportumty to meld them into the plan for the subdivision is there and that action
would be in keeping with Iowa City'a de.~ire to protect our beautiful landscape. They would also provide a
buffer between the medium s~zed lots and the destred smaller loB.
Our developer is not willing to madrote. He has told us to take our concerns up with you.
Dec Norton voiced d~may last October thai neighborhoods are constantly having to battle and p~otect
themselves ~om chics that various pames would like to make wtthin th~ surroundings Dick Gibson
said at a P & Z meeting this $anuary, that approving sub plat~ within a .subdivision is a nustake ~nd leads to
problems lane Jakobsen was between a rock and a hard place, knowm~ what we had anticipated when we
purchased and how she would hnve to vote on the approval for parts 3 & 4. Othcra voiced that same
op~on.
We feel these issues are something City Council should g~ve serious consideration to If you have any
questions about these maps or our letter please call us at 337-7634. We ask that time is t~ken so a thorough
~cussion of tins ~saue can occur. Thank you.

Dear Mayor Novick,
Regarding the Proposed Changes in Lot Sizes at Galway Hills Subdivision:
In 1992 when we were t~ng to decide whether to buy a lot in Galway Hills Subdivision, I asked Dave
Cahill what his plans were for the surrounding area.
He showed me a large plat of Galway Hills Subdivision I - IV, and he pointed out that il will be all
LARGE LOTS. He definitely used this as a selling point. We used this infomarion to help us decide to
purchase oar lot and build our home.
We feel that a developer should not be allowed to promise potential buyers one thing, and then change
it so drastically.
Thank you for your time and consideration,

Dear Naomi Novick,
I am writing this letter on behalfofmy wife and two daughters to voice our concern about
the proposed change in lot sizes in Galway Hills subdivision that will come before you on
March 26, 1996.
As you know, Galway Hills Part I was platted in 1991 by DAV-ED LTD And billed as a
large lot development In October of 1991 we purchased lot 31 to build our dream home.
Prior to committing to a lot, I researched what was to happen in the rest of the
development and was assured by Dave Cahill through the use of preliminary plats, that the
development would be limited to larger lots and geared toward large homes. One area,
near highway 218, might be a little denser or perhaps used for 0-lot lines.
As a Realtor, I relied on this information to make the largest investment of my life. Since
moving into our home in May of 1992, it seems as though we are always appearing
before planning and zoning because of proposed changes to Galway Hills. Since a
preliminary plat was approved, and it was relied upon heavily in ours and our neighbors
decision making process, I'm asking you !'o deny Mr Cabills request to change the lot
sizes for Parts III and IV.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

RE: Future of Galway Hills Subdivision
Dear ~'~Ld. '~,~7,,~7'~.
We are writing this letter to express our concerns over the proposed changes in pad 3
and 4 of the Galway Hills subdivision. This is at least the second attempt by Cabill and
Associates to change the plans for the surrounding area since we have moved to Galway Hills
Part 1 in December 1994. If there isn't some comprehensive plan or vision finalized for the
future of this area that we can all rely upon for more than a few months, we are going to continue
to feel that the future of our neighborhood is in jeopardy. We feel betrayed. We clearly cannot
continue to rely upon the representations of plats, realtors, and developers made when we
decided to build a home and raise our family here. Despite the fact that Mr. Cabill has tded to
have part 4 fezDeed to RS 8, and the area nexl to West High rezoned to commercial, his sign
advertising ~Large Lot Development" still stands at the entrance to the entire subdivision, hoping
perhaps to snare still unwa~ home buyers.
Mr. Cabill proposes to replat part 3 and 4 to make substantially smaller lots than what
was originally planned for the area. Although this size permits the building of homes which fit
within the planned zoning, the dimensions of the lots will only allow the building of very narrow
homes built close together. No cul de sacs are planned as in the original plat. No green space
is allotted as promised. No additional entrances or exits are planned into the subdivision. No
thought is given to making the neighborhood attractive. No tl~ought is given to the effect the
increased density will have on an all ready ovemmwded school. All the increased traffic will be
funneled past the existing homes, creating hazards for the children riding their bikes or walking
their dogs. What is being planned does not appear to be well-thought out or attractively
designed to appeal to potential buyers. What is clcar is that there is no plan and that Mr. Cabill
is constantly changing his mind to maximize his profit. The City Council should once and for all
put a stop to Mr. Cahitl's changes and hold him to what he has promised both the neighborhood
and the city.
Although Mr. Cabill has certainly not confided in any of the homeownem now living in
Galway, his new "plan of the month" has clearly been formulated to maximize his profit with a
minimal amount of work. Apparently the pre-existing "large lots" in Galway Part 1 are not selling.
Rather than assume that the lots are not selling because of the CUlTeat economic market, Mr.
Cahill should look to his own failure to make the area attractive to new buyers. Much larger lots
and homes are selling like the proverbial hotcakes just across Melrose at Walnut Ridge. Other
large lots are selling well in new subdivisions in Coralville and northeast Iowa City. We do not
wish to interfere with Mr. Cahill's livelihood. We just want him to fulfill the promises he has
made to this community and to this neighborhood. How about the promised green spaco? How
about col de sacs? How about doing more to the area than simply mowing the weeds? What
happens if his unattractive narrow homes still don't sell? Can he then have the area rezoned for
a Quik Tdp?
The City must hold Mr. Cabill to what he promised the neighborhood. The City must not
allow developers to plan the city by default. Developers must be held to the plans and promises
they make when they sell the land to home owners. Thought must be given to the impact of
increased density on the schools and the traffic. When we chose to build our first home in
Galway, we considered the school our children would attend. We looked at the plans for the
neighborhood provided by our realtor. We looked at the traffic patterns. We looked at the
surrounding areas. If the City allows Mr. Cabill to change his plans again and again, it is sending
the message that the future of this city is in the hands of the developere and that people cannot
be assured of their neighborhood, schools, and safety unless they buy the last house in an area.
Given the rate at which this city is expanding, the problems we are experiencing in our
neighborhood will not be unique These problems will come up again and again as this city
grows. The City must come up with an effective method of dealing with issues such as !his.
We ask the City to deny Mr. Cahill's plans to replat Galway 3 and 4 as proposed.
Sincerely,
Perfie a~.d Stanley Naides

Naomi Novick
Mayor
306 Mullin Ave.
1owa City, 1owa 52246
Dear Mayor Novick,
I ant writing to express my concerns about proposed changes to the Galway Hills Subdivision.
In my opinion there are three major issues 1) developer misrepresentation which is supported
by the practice of partial platting 2) safety and 3) the social capital of neighborhoods.
1. When we purchased our home in Galway Hills the developer specifically stated that the
remainder of the development would be developed in the same manner as Part 1, which is
described as "large lot", low density housing. He also described the setting aside of green space
and efforts to make the development attractive. He used these as strong selling points and
further stated that we could be assured of l~is commitment to the development because he
planned to build a home and live in Galway Hills himselL We purchased our home based, in
part, on these assurances. The practice of partial platting is antiquated and unethical. It
provides a legal loophole for unscrupulous developers to make assurances that they know they
will not be held accountable for. In fact, the sign at the entrance to Galway Hills still reads
"large lot development" and thus the false promise continues to be perpetuated.
l realize that the economy changes over time and developers want to protect their investment.
New home construction in Galway Hills has proceeded much more slowly than anticipated, I
am certain. However, the premise that large lots are not selling in 1owa City is somewhat
erroneous. Across the street, in Walnut Ridge, new home construction is proceeding at a fairly
rapid rate. The major difference to my eye is that of appearance of the development. Care has
been taken to make Walnut Ridge an attractive and appealing environment. There are small
pockets of green space scattered throughout the development with plantings and landscaping
that make it appealing. Galway Hills developers have chosen to expend little money on the
appearance and usability of the land, even though neighbors have expressed an interest and
willingness to share in this endeavor. Galway Hills has a pond that could be landscaped and,
when seen from Melrose Ave., would be an appealing advertisement for the development.
Rather than capitalizing on the attributes of the land, the pond and existing stands of trees to
make this a desirable and appealing housing development, the developer appears to have
chosen to try for quick financial gain by building higher density housing at the rear of the
development even though it compromises the current neighborhood and violates assurances
given to residents.
2. The purpose of planning and development rs to identify desired outcomes and potential
problems before new construction takes place. We purchased our home here because we
wanted a low density housing development with minimum street traffic in order to provide for
the safety of our children. The concept of placing higher density housing at the rear of a
development is contrary to prudent or desirable developmeBt practices. With only one access
onto Melrose Ave. the amount of traffic on Galway Dr. ~(~.uld be extraordinarily increased.
Also, considering the fact that tl~q ~re no sidewalks i~ l~uch of the development, heavy
construction vehicles for the scale of the proposed ~l~structio~ would present on
unprecedented, mappropriate and needless dang0r to the childi:0rt 9I,Galway H/lJs. The
nrember of the planning and zoning board that made the comment ~h~ Galway Dr. was wide
enough to accommodate both children and heavy construction vehicles, dearly has no
experience with either children or vehicles.
Attention must also be paid to the issue of traffic congestion entering Melrose Ave. We witness
minor traffic accidents, near-missss and incred~ly poor driving judgment at the Galway
Hills/Melrose Ave. junction daily. The combination of interstate and county traffic, housing
development and West High School traffic make this a hazardous intersect/an now. Greatly
increasing the traffic will compound this exponentially.
3. "Social capital" defined by civic engagement, neighborhood and social "connectedness" and
social trust that fosters an attitude of working together for the common good, is at an all-time
low in the United States today. Our neighborhoods are the idea] place to begin rebuilding social
capital. We moved to Galway Hills with good friends from our old neighborhood in order to
begin building a new "neighborhood" instead of just a new "house". During the three years we
have lived in Galway Hills we have worked, along with our neighbors, to establish a social
network to ensure safety and foster a sense of "neighborliness". We started a neighborhood
watch, engage in neighborhood parenting so that children are observed by other adults
wherever they play in the neighborhood, have neighborhood barbecues in the summer and
desserts and caroling in the winter, have neighborhood clean-up days and frequently assist one
another when problems ar~se.
Building higher density housing at the rear of the development, substantially increasing traffic,
requesting approval for a Handimart and gas station (1 realize these were withdrawn) which
would present tremendous safety concerns, an unwillingness to provide for appropriate,
community- accessible green space or preserve and enhance existing anvi~onmental attributes,
and a disregard for the safety concerns of parents indicate a flagrant lack of concern for the
families who make theft' homes in Galway Hills. The decisions being made benefit the financial
gains of the developers but dearly are not in the best interest of the neighborhood. The
proposed changes show a failure to consider the impact such drastic changes to the initial plan
will have on the existing neighborhood. I believe that neighborhoods can flourish with mixed
housing and even with small businesses incorporated within them. However, these must be
incorporated in the initial phases of planning and development, along with considerations about
traffic access and impact on existing schools. Decisions made after a development is in existence
must be made in such a way to foster the safety and "social capital" of the entire neighborhood.
I would like to ask the City Com~cfl to take a stand against par~ platting and for the nurturing
of neighborhoods. I would also suggest that perhaps a meeting with representative from the
neighborhood, the developers, City Council and Plmming and Zoning could work to resolve
some of these problems.

To the best knowledge and belief of the Issuer, there are no facts or circumstances
that would materially change the foregoing statements or the conclusion that it is not
expected that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a manner that would cause the
Bonds to be arbitrage bonds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer
hereby agrees to comply with the provisions of the Tax Exemption Certificate and the
provisions of the Tax Exemption Certificate are hereby incorporated by reference as part
of this Resolution. The Treasurer is hereby directed to make and insert all calculations
and determinations necessmy to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate in all respects
and to execute and deliver the Tax Exemption Certificate at issuance of the Bonds to
certify as to the reasonable expectations and covenants of the Issuer at that date.

Certificate, and the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure Certificate are hereby
incorporated by reference as part of this Resolution and made a part hereof.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution, failure of the Issuer to comply
with the Continuing Disclosure Certificate shall not be considered an event of default
under this Resolution; however, any holder of the Bonds or Beneficial Owner may take
such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking specific performance
by court order, to cause the Issuer to comply with its obligations under the Continuing
Disclosure Certificate. For purposes of this section, "Beneficial Owner" means any

purposes and under the following conditions, but not otherwise:
(a) For the purpose of refunding any of the Bonds or Parity Bonds which
shall have matured or which shall mature not later than three months after the date
of delivery of such refunding Bonds and for the payment of which there shall be
insufficient money in the Sinking Fund and the Reserve Fund;
(b) For the purpose of refunding any Bonds, Parity Bonds or General
Obligation Bonds outstanding, or making extensions, additions, improvements or
replacements to the System, if all of the following conditions shall have been met:
(i) before any such Additional Bonds ranking on a parity are issued,
there will have been procured and filed with the Clerk, a statement of an
independent certified public accountant, consulting engineer or financial
consultant, not a regular employee of the Issuer, reciting the opinion based
upon necessary investigations that the Net Revenues of the System for the
preceding fiscal year (with adjustments as hereinafter provided) were equal
to at least 1.25 times the maximum mount that will be required in any
fiscal year prior to the longest maturity of any of the then Outstanding
Bonds or Parity Bonds for both principal of and interest on all Bonds or
Parity Bonds then outstanding which are payable from the net earnings of
the System and the Additional Bonds then proposed to be issued.
For the purpose of determining the Net Revenues of the System for
the preceding fiscal year as aforesaid, the mount of the gross revenues for
such year may be adjusted by an independent Consulting Engineer or by a
Certified Public Accountant not a regular employee of the Issuer, so as to
reflect any changes in the amount of such revenues which would have
resulted had any revision of the schedule of rates or charges imposed at or
prior to the time of the issuance of any such Additional Bonds been in
effect during all of such preceding fiscal year.
(ii) the Additional Bonds must be payable as to principal and as to
interest on the same month and day as the Bonds herein authorized.
(iii) for the purposes of this Section, principal and interest falling
due on the first day of a fiscal year shall be deemed a requirement of the
immediately preceding fiscal year.
(iv) for the purposes of this Section, general obligation bonds shall
be refunded only upon a finding of necessity by the Governing Body and
only to the extent the general obligation bonds were issued or the proceeds
of them were expended for the System.
Section 19. Disposition of Bond Proceeds; Arbitrage Not Permitted. The Issuer
reasonably expects ~nd covenants that no use will be made of the praeeeds _from t_he
issuance and sale of the Bonds issued hereunder which will cause any of the Bonds to be
classified as arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 148(a) and (b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of the United States, and that throughout the term of said Bonds it will
comply with the requirements of said statute and regulations issued thereunder.
To the best knowledge and belief of the Issuer, there are no facts or circumstances
that would materially change the foregoing statements or the conclusion that it is not
expected that the proceeds of the Bonds will be used in a manner that would cause the
Bonds to be arbitrage bonds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer
hereby agrees to comply with the provisions of the Tax Exemption Certificate and the
provisions of the Tax Exemption Certificate are hereby incorporated by reference as part
-32-
of this Resolution. The Treasurer is hereby directed to make and insert all calculations
and determinations necessary to complete the Tax Exemption Certificate in all respects
and to execute and deliver the Tax Exemption Certificate at issuance of the Bonds to
certify as to the reasonable expectations and covenants of the Issuer at that date.
The Issuer covenants that it will treat as Yield Restricted any proceeds of the
Bonds remaining unexpended after three years from the issuance and any other funds
required by the Tax Exemption Certificate to be so treated. If any investments are held
with respect to the Bonds and Parity Bonds, the Issuer shall treat the same for the purpose
of restricted yield as held in proportion to the original principal amounts of each issue.
The Issuer covenants that it will exceed any investment yield restriction provided
in this Resolution only in the event that it shall first obtain an opinion of recognized bond
counsel that the proposed investment action will not cause the bonds to be classified as
arbitrage bonds under Section 148(a) and (b) of the Internal Revenue Code or regulations
issued thereunder.
The Issuer covenants that it will proceed with due diligence to spend the proceeds
of the Bonds for the purpose set forth in this Resolution. The Issuer further covenants
that it will make no change in the use of the proceeds available for the construction of
facilities or change in the use of any portion of the facilities constructed therefrom by
persons other than the Issuer or the general public unless it has obtained an opinion of
bond counsel or a revenue ruling that the proposed project or use will not be of such
character as to cause interest on any of the Bonds not to be exempt from federal income
taxes in the hands of holders other than substantial users of the project, under the
provisions of Section 142(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States, related
statutes and regulations.
Section 20. Additional Covenants, Representations and Warranties of the Issuer.
The lssuer certifies and covenants with the prochasers and holders of the Bonds from
time to time outstanding that the Issuer through its officers, (a) will make such further
specific covenants, representations and assurances as may be necessary or advisable; (b)
comply with all representations, covenants and assurances contained in the Tax
Exemption Certificate, which Tax Exemption Certificate shall constitute a part of the
contract between the Issuer and the owners of the Bonds; (c) consult with bond counsel
(as defined in the Tax Exemption Certificate); (d) pay to the United States, as necessary,
such sums of money representing required rebates of excess arbitrage profits relating to
the Bonds; (e) file such forms, statements and suppolling documents as may be required
and in a timely manner; and (f) if deemed necessary or advisable by its officers, to
employ and pay fiscal agents, financial advisors, attorneys and other persons to assist the
Issuer in such compliance.
-33-
Section 2t. Not Oualified Tax-Exempt Obligations. The Issuer has not designated
the Bonds as qualified tax-exempt obligations as defined by Section 265(b) of the Internal
Revenue Code of the United States, as amended.
Section 22. Discharge and Satisfaction of Bonds. The covenants, liens and
pledges entered into, created or imposed pursuant to this Resolution may be fully
discharged and satisfied with respect to the Bonds and Parity Bonds, or any of them, in
any one or more of the following ways:
(a) By paying the Bonds or Parity Bonds when the same shall become due
and payable; and
(b) By depositing in trust with the Treasurer, or with a corporate trustee
designated by the governing body for the payment of said obligations and
irrevocably appropriated exclusively to that purpose an mount in cash or direct
obligations of the United States the maturities and income of which shall be
sufficient to retire at maturity, or by redemption prior to maturity on a designated
date upon which said obligations may be redeemed, all of such obligations
outstanding at the time, together with the interest thereon to maturity or to the
designated redemption date, premiums thereon, if any that may be payable on the
redemption of the same; provided that proper notice of redemption of all such
obligations to be redeemed shall have been previously published or provisions
shall have been made for such publication.
Upon such payment or deposit of money or securities, or both, in the mount and
manner provided by this Section, all liability of the Issuer with respect to the Bonds or
Parity Bonds shall cease, determine and be completely discharged, and the holders
thereof shall be entitled only to payment out of the money or securities so deposited.

SECTION 3. INSTALLATION, REPAIR, EXTENSION OR EXPANSION OF THE NETWORK
Before commencing any extension or expansion of its system, or any major repair work or the
installation of any new system in the City, the Network shall file with the Public Works
Department of the City a written statement verifying the public property under which or upon
which the Network proposes to extend, expand, install or repair its system. The Director of

reasonable time after the filing of such plan, map or specifications, note the changes

Network in the operation of its facilities or the manner of use of public property either is
occurring or has occurred (hereinafter referred to as a "default"), the City shall cause an
investigation to be made. If the City finds that a default exists or has occurred, the City may

RE: Trinity Episcopal Trees
Regarding the trees at Trinity Episcopal Church, I have
outlined below the steps which should be taken immediately to
help the trees.
Any and all material, soil, rock, wood, brick, etc. that
have has been piled or added above the original soil
level should be removed. Packed soil or rock within
three feet of the tree trunks should be removed BY HAND
to eliminate any possibility o~ further damaging trunks
or roots.
e
The damage from the soil compaction that has occurred
may be irreversible, but we should try. The soil needs
to be deeply aerated over a large area. To accomplish
this a grid system of holes two inches in diameter, 14
to 18 inches deep on two foot centers should be drilled
around the trees. The holes should begin four feet from
the trunks and should include all the compacted area
along the College Street side of the church. The holes
should be refilled with a 50/50 mixture (this may need
to be adjusted depending on the brand of pea~) of
sphagnum peat moss and perlite. The mixture sometimes
binds in the hole before it is filled. Forcing it into
the hole is acceptable but under no circumstances should
it be tamped tightly.
o
The entire area for the length of the property should be
fenced at the back of the curb and the edge of the
sidewalk. This does not include the construction access
which is discussed later.

e
Either before or after the fence is installed the area
noted in number 3 should be mulched with shredded bark
or wood chips. The Forestry Division may provide the
· needed chips if they have sufficient quantities to meet
other city needs first. If not, the chips may be
acquired locally. The mulching material must be
approved for use by the City Forester in advance.
One construction access area should be left unfenced.
The most logical location would be on the east end
between the last two trees. All the previously
mentioned steps should also be taken in this area prior
to the final step of covering it with six to eight
inches of wood chips. This will help to reduce further
compaction while work is still underway. These chips
should be raked and leveled each day as they will be
dislodged byrepeated traffic.

large influence on my project since we are in the final stages of construction and have many people
and materials on site and no storage areas.
Any help that you may offer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
