Chapter 14-7, Land Subdivisions. July 27, 1995 September 11, 1995 September 25, 1995 2 SPECIAL INFORMATION: Public utilities: City water is available to this site. Sanitary sewer service will be available upon the construction of the South River Corridor Interceptor sanitary sew- er, which is likely to be constructed in 1998. If any of these lots are to be developed prior to that time, a private lift station will be required at the ex- pense of the applicant. Public services: Police and fire protection will be provid- ed by the City. Trash removal must be provided through a private service. Transportation: Both Stevens Drive and Southgate Drive will have access to Gilbert Street, an arterial street. Transit service is provided to this area by the Lakeside route, with a stop at the corner of Waterfront Drive and Gilbert Street. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, Southgate Development, Inc., is requesting final plat approval of Kennedy's Waterfront Addition, Part Three, a 31.23 acre, 12-1ot commercial subdivision. This site is located south of Highway 6 between Gilbert Street and the Iowa River. The preliminary plat for this area was approved in June of 1994, subject to the legal papers for the final plat addressing the need to provide sanitary sewer service and to extend Southgate Avenue. ANALYSIS: This request will be evaluated in terms of the plat's compliance with the City's subdivision regulations and design standards, and its conformance with the approved preliminary plat for this property. Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed final plat has been reviewed with respect to the City's subdivision regulations and design standards and appears to be in compliance, although Public Works has identified a few minor technical deficiencies on the most recent plat. It is anticipated that the plat will be corrected and approved by Public Works before the September 7 meeting. Legal papers and construction drawings will have to be approved prior to Council consideration of the plat. The legal papers should address the conditions placed on the approval of the preliminary plat, dealing with providing sanitary sewer to the site and the dedication of the right-of-way for the future extension of Southgate Avenue (located off-site). The legal papers currently do not address these items. The Commission's action regarding this plat should be subject to these items being satisfactorily addressed in the legal papers prior to City Council consideration. 3 Lots 6 and 7 are the only lots within this subdivision that have frontage on Gilbert Street. The plat contains a note prohibiting direct drive access to these lots from Gilbert Street in order to minimize the number of curb cuts onto an arterial street. Conformance with Approved Prellmlna~y Plat: The street and lot configurations shown on the final plat appear 'to be in general conformance with the preliminary plat. The trail easement shown on the preliminary plat is also included on the final plat. The dedication of the right-of- way for the future extension of Southgate Avenue is shown on the plat, but will have to be addressed on a separate plat as that property is outside of the subdivision boundaries. Public Works is currently working with the applicant regarding this and other off-site issues. The only issues left outstanding from the preliminary plat are those associated with the legal papers as mentioned above. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that SUa95-0026 be approved, subject to the following occurring prior to Council consideration of the final plat: 1) the approval of construction drawings by Public Works; 2) the approval of legal papers by the City Attorney's Office which address the conditions placed on the approval of the preliminary plat; and 3) final approval of the plat by Public Works.

C/O Gene Kroeger 500 South Dubuque Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Phone: 351-8811 Contact person: Ralph Stoffer Landmark Surveying & Engineering 535 Southgate Avenue Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Phone: 354-1984 Requested action: Final plat approval. Purpose: To create a 36-1ot residential subdivi- sion. Location: West of Oakes Meadow Addition (this property was formerly referred to as 655 Meadow Street). Size: 13.04 acres. Existing land use and zoning: Vacant, RS-8. Surrounding land use and zoning: North: East: South; West: Residential, RS-5; Residential, RS-12; Commercial, C0-1; Cemetery, RM-20. Comprehensive Plan: North portion of the site: residential, 2- 8 dwelling units per acre; south portion of the site: residential, 8 to 16 dwell- ing units per acre. Applicable Code requirements: Chapter 14-7, Land Subdivisions. File date: August 17, 1995 45-day limitation period: October 2, 1995 60-day limitation period: October 16, 1995 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, East Hill Subdivision, Inc. is requesting final plat approval of East Hill Subdivision, a 13.04 acre, 36-1ot residential subdivision located west of Dover Street and Perry Court, North of Muscatine Avenue (formerly referred to as 655 Meadow Street). This site was recently conditionally rezoned from RM-12, Low Density Multi-Family Residential, and RS-5, Low Density Single-Family Residential, to RS-8, Medium Density Single-Family Residential, and has received preliminary plat approval. ANALYSIS: Compliance with Subdivision Regulations: The proposed final plat appears to be in general conformance with the City's subdivision regulations. However, the latest revisions have vet to be approved by Public Works. It is anticipated that the current plat will be approved by Public Works or corrections will be satisfactorily completed prior tothe September 7 meeting. Legal papers and construction drawings must be approved prior to Council consideration of the final plat. Construction drawings have been submitted and are being reviewed by Public Works at this time. Legal papers had not been submitted at the time this staff report was prepared and the packet mailed, but must be approved before the City Council takes any action on the plat. Conformance with Preliminary Plat: The proposed final plat appears to be in general conformance with the preliminary plat in terms of street and lot configuration, although there have been some changes to the storm and sanitary sewer easements. The configuration of the easements will be finalized when construction drawings are approved. Compliance with Conditional Zoning Agreement: This property was the subject of a rezoning from RM-12, Low Density Multi-Family Residential, and RS-5, Low Density Single-Family Residential, to RS-8, Medium Density Single-Family Residential, earlier this year. The rezoning was approved subject to three conditions as follows: 1 ) Development of the property shall include dedication of the Ralston Creek flood plain within the parcel to the City, including a public access easement from an interior roadway within the subdivision to provide public access to the dedicated flood plain area. The Ralston Creek flood plain on this site is located wholly within Outlot A. A note on the final plat indicates that Outlot A will be dedicated to the City, and will include a 15 foot wide strip of land between Lots 6 and 7 leading to Catskill Court. The construction of an 8 foot wide sidewalk from Catskill Court to the north for the full length of the 15 foot wide strip will also be required, as discussed during the preliminary platting process. The legal papers should address this issue. 2) The density of development of the subject property shall be limited to a total of 72 dwelling units, unless secondary access via a dedicated public street is provided. No second means of vehicular access is being proposed, so the 72 dwelling unit limit applies. The final plat contains 36 building lots. In the RS-8 zone, duplexes may be constructed on any lot that contains 8,700 or more square feet. The final plat indicates that all of the proposed lots exceed this threshold. If duplexes are constructed on every 3 lot, the maximum number of dwelling units will be 72, which is in conformance with the conditional zoning agreement. 3) If the City chooses to develop a trail, development of the property shall be subject to the owner at the time of development participating with the City in the development of a trail within the dedicated flood plain of Ralston Creek to the City's satisfaction. The owner's obligation shall be limited to grading and construction of a trail on the subject property, and shall not exceed an expense of ~5,000. The applicant has agreed to pay $5,000 toward the construction o7 a trail along Ralston Creek on this property. No preferred alignment of the trail has been identified at this time, so construction of the trail will not occur until some point in the future. However, the ~5,O00 obligation still applies, and will be held for use toward funding the trail construction until necessary. This issue should be addressed in the legal papers. In addition to these conditions, the developer agreed during the preliminary platting process to dedicate what was then referred to as Outlot A to the City as well. That property consisted of the parcel located on the north side of former Outlot B, which included the Ralston Creek flood plain. "Outlot A" on the final plat incorporates both former "Outlot A" and former "Outlot B," and will be dedicated to the City as mentioned above. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that SUB95-0027 be approved subject to the approval of legal papers by the City Attorney's Office and construction drawings by Public Works prior to Council consideration of the plat. DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES: 1. No legal papers were submitted. Minor technical deficiencies have been identified by Public Works. A revised plat has been submitted and is under review at this time. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Location Map. 2. Final Plat.

Public services: Police and fire protection and sanitation service will be provided by the City. Transportation: The site has access from Arlington Drive. Transit service is not currently available to this area. Physical characteristics: Gentle rolling terrain sloping downward to the south and west BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, Arlington, L.C., requests preliminary and final plat approval of Windsor Ridge -Part Six, a proposed resubdivision of Tract "A," of Windsor Ridge - Part One, and of Outlot "A," Windsor Ridge - Part Three. The Planning and Zoning Commission recently reviewed and recommended approval of an annexation and rezoning request for the 3.05 acre east portion of Windsor Ridge - Part Six, known as Tract "A." On August 29 Council approved the annexation and the first reading of the rezoning ordinance. If Council agrees to expedited consideration, as requested by the applicant, it is anticipated the rezoning will be approved at the September 12 Council meeting. The remainder of the site involves Outlot "A," which was designated as a private open space containing stormwater management facilities and sanitary sewer easements with the final plat of Windsor Ridge - Part Three. The preliminary and final plats propose to combine Tract "A," a contiguous portion of American Legion Road right-of-way immediately south of Tract "A" and Outlot "A" to create a 7.80 acre residential subdivision containing seven residential lots (Lots 95 through 101) and two outlots, Outlot "A" and Outlot "AA." ANALYSIS: Zoninq Chapter The preliminary and final plats for Windsor Ridge - Part Six, have been reviewed by staff and appear to conform with the general requirements of the RS-5, Low Density Single- Family Residential zone. The plats cannot be forwarded for Council consideration until the annexation and rezoning of Tract "A" ,~¢ completed. Subdivision Regulations The preliminary and final plats of Windsor Ridge - Part Six, appear to be in general compliance with the City's subdivision regulations. Construction plans have been submitted for review and approved by the Public Works Department. Legal papers have been submitted and are being reviewed by the City Attorney's Office. The legal papers must be approved prior to City Council consideration of the plats. Other than approval of the legal papers, there are no outstanding discrepancies and deficiencies associated with either the preliminary or final plats for Windsor Ridge - Part Six. As noted on the plats, Outlot "A" is intended to be sold to the owner of Lot 36. Because of concerns staff had about problems that might arise if someone in the future attempted to develop Outlot "A," which only has access via a County road, a note has been added to beth plats stating that "no building permits shall be issued for a principal building on Outlot 'A.'" Concerning Outlot °AA," a note on each plat indicates that "Outlot 'AA' is intended to be used as common open space maintained by a homeowners association." The neighborhood open space requirement has been met through previous designations of outlots within the Windsor Ridge development for public open space. The initial preliminary plat for Windsor Ridge shows a 4.74 acre neighborhood park (Outlot "K") with a connecting 5.10 acre greenway (Outlot "J") to Scott Park as public open space. This more than meets the conditional zoning agreement provision that "the open space will consist of a centrally-located four acre neighborhood park with the remaining 2.9 acres developed as greenway trails linking the above-described tract of land to Scott Park." Additionally, the preliminary plat shows 22.25 acres of public open space (Outlot "B") containing a large stormwater basin and eight-foot wide recreational paths. The major portion of Outlot "B" is located across Arlington Drive, east of Outlot "AA." Access notes on the plats include limiting access for Lot 101 to Coventry Court, prohibiting access from Outlot "AA" to American Legion Road, and aligning the driveway locations for Lots 95 and 96 across from a break in the median on Arlington Drive. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the preliminary and final plats for Windsor Ridge - Part Six, a 7.62 acre, 7-lot residential subdivision with two outlots located north of American Legion Road be approved, subject to approval of the legal papere by the City Attorney's Office prior to Council consideration of the final plat.

Since we did not purchase the Thatcher Mobile Home Park, funds for relocation of its residents were not needed. The total allocation of $1,055,000 in the Flood #1 budget has been expended, but several rehab projects remain to be completed. We are planning to cover the remaining rehab costs with Flood #2 funds as shown in the revised budget. This budget amendment was reviewed and approved on September 21, 1995, by the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC).
