KARR, CITY CLERK City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: April 4, 1996 To: Planning and Zoning Commission From: Charles Denney, Associate Planner F~e: REZ96-0004 and SUB96-O002; Village Green, Part XIV At your March 21 meeting the Commission was presented with a draft of the summary report regarding the subject rezoning and subdivision. There was some confusion expressed by Commission regarding the summary report. For clarification Section 14-6J-2D3 of the Zoning Chapter states that: Upon completing review of the preliminary PDH plan, the Commission shall recommend either approval or denial of the plan and shall make a written report of its findings to the City Council. The report shall include findings that the variances in setbacks, lot area requirements, building heights, building types, sizes of buildings, and the combination of land uses will be in the public interest, in harmony with the purposes of this Chapter and other building regulations of the City, will not adversely affect nearby properties, and that the parking requirements of this Chapter otherwise prevailing in the zone have not been reduced. The attached report addresses the pertinent issues identified above and will be forwarded to the City Council prior to the public hearing on the rezoning and preliminary PDH plan. Previously, the Zoning Chapter required that tile Commission approve the summary report at the meeting following approval of a preliminary PDH plan. During the recodification process this requirement was deleted, but the process of the Commission approving the summary report as previously required has continued. STAFF REPORT To: Planning and Zoning Commission Item: REZ96-0004 & SUB96-0002; Village Green Part XIV GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Contact person: Requested action: Purpose: Location; Size: Existing land use and zoning: Surrounding land use and zoning: Comprehensive Plan: Applicable Code requirements: File date: 45-day limitation period: SPECIAL INFORMATION: Public utilities: Prepared by: Charles Denhey Date: February 15, 1996 Village Partners 325 Third Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Bill Frantz 338-7923 Approval of a rezoning from RS-5 to OPDH-5, and approval of a preliminary OPDH plan and plat. To allow development of 8 residential units. North of Village Road, east of Oxford Place. 3.09 acres Vacant; RS-5 North - Residential; OPDH-5 East - Vacant; RS-5 South - Residential; RS-5 West - Residential; OPDH-5 Residential; 2-8 dwelling units per acre. Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordi- nance. January 25, 1996 March 11, 1996 City water and sanitary sewer service are available. Public services: Transportation: Physical characteristics: Municipal police and fire protection will be provided. Private refuse service will be provided. Vehicular access will be provided via Village Road and Scott Boulevard. Transit service is available at the inter- section of Wayne Avenue and Village Road via the Towncrest route. The topography of the tract is generally flat. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Village Green area began developing in the mid-1960's as Village Green, Part One. Since that time, several subdivisions covering Village Green Parts I to XIII have been approved. The concept plan for the remainder of Village Green shows the extension of Village Road to connect to Scott Boulevard. 7he proposed Part XIV plan is a continuation of the townhouse clusters surrounding the wet bottom storm water detention basin approved in Parts XII and XlII. The proposed Village Green, Part XIV includes 8 condominium units and is an extension of previously approved townhouse style developments approved in other parts of Village Green. Development of the site as proposed requires a rezoning of the property from RS-5 to OPDH- 5. ANALYSIS: Preliminary Plat: The preliminary plat includes only that portion of the remainder of the Village Green development included within the proposed Lot 42. The plat does not indicate the larger parcel from which Lot 42 is being subdivided. The remainder of the larger parcel should be shown on the preliminary plat in some manner. The remainder could be designated as an outlot reserved for future development. OPDH/Subdivision Design: As mentioned previously, the proposed OPDH design is consistent with previously approved Parts of Village Green, and continues the pattern of development within the subdivision. The plan proposes 8 units clustered around Compton Place and attempts to use the existing wet bottom detention basin as an amenity. Open space is provided between and behind the proposed buildings, with abundant landscaping in these areas as well as within the Compton Place circle. During platting of Village Green, Part Xll, concerns were raised that the detention basin was an attractive nuisance that might draw neighborhood children. To address these concerns a fence has been constructed to help limit access to the pond. Additionally, the landscaping between building clusters in Parts XII and Xlll was planted in such a way as to limit visibility of the pond from Village Road. Similar landscape provision should be included in Part XIV. 3 The proposed design of the townhouses provides for off-street parking within garages and on driveways in front of the garages. Additional off-street parking is shown in clusters off of the private street in the island. The island is proposed to be landscaped consistent with adjacent developments, and the landscaping should help to screen the off-street parking. The plan proposes that sidewalks be waived for Compton Place, the private drive serving the proposed units. Waiving of the sidewalk is consistent with the design of Parts XII and XlII, where sidewalks were also waived on the private drives, On the short loop streets, like that proposed for Part XIV, sidewalks were not felt to be necessary in previously approved parts of Village Green. On longer streets, such as Somerset Lane, north of Part XIV, a sidewalk adjacent to the curb was required. Sanitary Sewer: As part of the approval of the final plat for Village Green, Part Xlll, the applicant agreed to pay $61,000 toward improvement of the Village Green Trunk Sewer and lift station. This fee covered Part XIII and all remaining property shown on the Village Green concept plan. The fee satisfies all off-site sanitary obligations for the Village Green Development. The legal papers required that this fee be paid prior to January 31, 1995; the fee has been paid. The City is currently designing the Scott Boulevard Truck Sewer, that will replace the Village Green Trunk Sewer and lift station. Construction of the sewer is currently scheduled for the summer of 1997. Addition of these eight units will not overload the capacity of the existing Village Green Trunk Sewer, but future platting and subdivisions within Village Green may encounter sewer capacity constraints until the Scott Boulevard Trunk Sewer is constructed. Storm Water IVlanagement: It is proposed that storm water management storage for this development be provided in the wet bottom storm water basin which was constructed with Village Green, Part XlI. Preliminary storm water calculations, showing tha· the existing basin has sufficient capacity to serve the proposed development, should be submitted. Because of the high water table in this area, the legal papers for Village Green, Parts Xll and XI]I contained requirements for a private tile system to drain the area to allow construction of dwellings with basements. Similar stipulations should be required for the final plat of Village Green, Part XIV. Neighborhood Open Space: A fee in lieu of dedication of neighborhood open space is recommended for this property. Under the Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance, dedication of 0.07 acre of open space is required; a fee equivalent to this dedication is recommended. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the requested rezoning from RS-5 to OPDH-5 and the preliminary OPDH plan and preliminary plat be deferred to allow resolution of issues regarding the amount of property shown on the preliminary plat. 4 ATTACHMENTS: 1.

REZ96-0004 and SUB96-0002: Village Green, Part XIV APPLICATION INFORMATION Applicant: Village Partners 325 Third Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Request: Preliminary OPD-H (OPDH-5) plan approval. Location: West of Scott Boulevard and south of Muscatine Avenue on Village Road. Existing Zoning: RS-5, Low Density Single-Family Residential Zone. Proposal: To construct 8 condominium dwellings on an approximately 3.09 acre tract of land utilizing modified design techniques to enable clustering of dwelling units around a stormwater detention facility. The multi-family use proposed for the site varies from the uses permitted in the RS-5 zone. Other modified features include reduced pavement width and the provision of private common open space. PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION March 21, 1o9~, Recommendation: Approval Recommended Variations and Rationale: The Commission finds the following variances from the applicable provisions of the zoning and subdivision ordinances to be appropriate: A. Land Use, Use Modification: A multi-family dwelling, which is a structure containing three or more dwelling units, is not a use permitted in the RS-5, Low Density Single-Family Residential zone. However, the proposed design of the OPDH plan has the appearance of a sufficient amount of open space to make the design compatible with the surrounding existing and anticipated single-family development. Open space will be contained around 2 at and within the wet bottom basin-stormwater management facility. Additional open space is shown to the front of the proposed units around the private street, Compton Place. The resulting density of the proFosed OPDH plan is not inconsistent with underlying RS-5 zoning. The 8 dwelling units on Lot 42 have a density of approximately 16,800 square feet per unit. The proposed townhouse cluster will be larger in size than the adjacent single family homes. The proposed design, however, contains features, such as varied rooflines and staggered facades, which will lessen the appearance of bulk. The townhouse clusters will also be set back at least five feet farther from the street than the 20 feet required by the underlying RS-5 ~'one. The distance of these proposed structures from the pamel boundaries, in addition to the installation of perimeter landscaping and landscaping within the development, will further diminish the perception of differences between this development and surrounding residential development. Street Standards and Specifications. Reduced Pavement Width Requirements: The Commission endorses the design modifications for Compton Place within Village Green, Part XIV development. These private streets are intended for two-way traffic. Instead of 28-foot wide paved surfaces back-of-curb to back-of-curb (BC-BC), however, these streets are a minimum of 25 feet in width and will have five-inch deep Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) surfaces. Three- inch integral roll curbs will define the edges of the paved surfaces. Given the density of development proposed within the Village Green, Part XlV complex and the fact that these private streets will only serve eight residential units and that sufficient off-street parking is being provided, the Commission finds the street modifications proposed for Village Green, Part XIV will adequately provide for the safe and efficient movement of vehicular traffic within the development and will satisfactorily accommodate emergency vehicle access. A total of 16 off-street parking spaces are required for the 8 proposed multi-family residences. Garages incorporated in the buildings will accommodate 16 vehicles. Six additional spaces, with convenient access to each building, are depicted on the site plan. In a conventional development, no parking area may be designed in which exiting from a parking area would require backing into a street. Due to the scale of this development, to the unobstructed sight distances from the parking areas, and to the fact that the proposed streets are private, this design is not expected to be detrimental to the safe and efficient movement of vehicular and pedestrian traffic.

Box 1402 Iowa City, IA 52244 319-358-9212 Dear Members of the Council: I am responding to your request regarding the effect of Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship's acquisition of existing property on the Iowa City market. Evaluation of the housing market and feedback from the local Real Estate field assures me that Greater Iowa City Housing Fellowship can acquire existing property and not negatively impact the local market. During the preparation W the proposal for 1%'97 HOME and CDBG funding for the acquisition and rehabilitation of 12 units of affordable rental housing, a market search was conducted. The market search included all duplexes/multi-family housing and condominiuwa on the market. I specified a price range of $93,500 and under for single family homes. The search was completed during December, 1995 and January, 1996. The search summaries revealed that there were 53 single family homes witlfin the designated price range, and 14 condominiums and five duplexes on the market. These are unduplicated numbers for December and January. I have enclosed correspondence from a Realtor for your information. The correspondence states that there are plenty of single family homes on the market. Additionally, according to the Iowa City Area Association of Realtom, there am sigmficantly fewer properties are on the market dunng the months of December and January than at other times of the year. As a Fellowship, it is the intent of our organization to reach our goals in a manner which is harmonious with our commumty. Any di,~emment that our projects lessen the market availability of affordable housing ~s contmdictery to our mission. 1 am happy to provide any information 1 have. Please call me at 358-9212 if I may be of further assistance. Sincerely,  M~U Denni~ Administrator ,z2/1996 13:15 3193540724 LIFE SKILLS, INC.

KARR, CITY CLERK City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: FROM: April 16, 1996 Rick Fosse, City Engineer Daniel Scott, Civil Engineer RE: Iowa City Sanitary Landfill Force Main Project On April 23, 1996, a public hearing is scheduled for the above project as well as a resolution approving plans and establishing a bid date. The public hearing should still be held, but the plan approval and bid date should be postponed because of lack of necessary construction approval form the IDNR. All necessary information has been sent to the IDNR, but due to some confusion in the submittal process, our receipt of the construction permit will be delayed. It is therefore necessary to delay the plan approval and bid date accordingly. At this point, it appears easier to defer the project indefinitely and re-set the public hearing when we are more properly prepared. Please notify me if you have any questions or require any additional information at 356-5144. CC: Chuck Schmadeke.
