Pfohl [judypfohl@compuserve.com] Friday, June 25, 1999 7:14 PM Iowa City Council Burry Access to Willow Creek I would like to thank the staff for all their cooperation and time looking into the access between Tom Muller and Fred Dunners' houses. Please do not remove the access. I agree it could be 5-6 feet wide for City vehicle traffic and easy access if there is a curb cut too. Both neighbors knew the 20 feet access was owned by the City. Both have plantings on City land limiting access to the park. A hedge stops cut through problems from Fred Dunners' side. Terry Trueblood has walked the area with Tom to note how access might be made with the least destruction to current plantings on the access and in the park. Currently, the access is a sidewalk off another sidewalk. I have had a few neighbors, including myself wish the path were a little wider to avoid hitting the bushes planted along the side when biking or with strollers. There is no curb cut and the right angle turn on a narrow path is difficult. I had talked with Fred and Tom that widdening the path a little might be nice. I talked with Staff and was worried the path might be required to be 8-12 feet. I was thinking 4-5 feet would be nice. Tom originally complained it might be 8-12 feet and would remove all the shrubs and trees we wind around to get to the park. Tom and Fred never showed me or told me about their petition probably because I already said I thought it should be wider. I heard about the petition while watching the Council meeting on TV. People who signed the petition would probably complain if access were removed totally. The path is a beautiful entrance winding into the park and I agree that trying to keep that feel would be nice. Judy Pfohl (representing myself, not as neighborhood president) Rex Pruess 1013 Pheasant Valley Street Iowa City, IA 52246-8622 June 17, 1999 City of Iowa City Council Members 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, IA 522'40 Dear Council Member: I am writing to support the construction of an 8' wide sidewalk from Burry Drive into Willow Creek Park. Henceforth, I shall refer to the sidewalk as the Burry connection. First, let me introduce myself. I am a 30-year resident of Iowa City. I live on the west side of Iowa City. From a transportation perspective, I periodically use the Burry connection in my bicycle commute to my job. From a recreational angle, I incorporate the Burry connection into my jogging route. Imagine my delight when I heard the Burry connection was going to be brought up to trail standards and into ADA compliance! I happened to watch the last Council meeting on TV. The gentleman who addressed the Council did not mention that a 20' wide easement exists for the specific purpose of access to Willow Creek Park. Nor did the gentleman mention that residents on both sides of the easement have encroached on the easement. One resident has extended a driveway into the easement and the other resident has planted a row of shrubs. As a taxpayer, I fred that usage to be contrary to appropriate use of public property. As a supporter of the Burry connection, I recommend the following actions: Install an 8' wide sidewalk from Burry Drive into Willow Creek Park. An 8' sidewalk would require just 40% of the 20' wide easement. Improve safety by removing a couple of the bushes at the south end of the hedge. Those bushes create a dangerous blind spot; such a blind spot shouM never be tolerated at an intersection. · Lower the water pipe at the south end of the sidewalk to eliminate that obstacle. · Bring the Burry connection up to ADA compliance. City staff have given careful thought to the BurrDr connection. Please support your staff. Sincerely, Rex Pruess JUN 1999 MY NAME IS FRED DUNNER AND I LIVE AT 1338 BURRY DRIVE IN IOWA CITY. Me]Ty MANAGER'S OFFICE NEIGHBOR TOM MULLER UNFORTUNATELY COULDN'T BE HERE TONIGHT. I AM ADDRESSING THE COUNCIL TO GIVE NEIGHBORHOOD INPUT AND TO DISCUSS THE SMALL ACCESS TRAIL LEADING TO THE NEW TRAIL IN WILLOW CREEK PARK. BURRY DRIVE IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE SHORTEST STREETS IN IOWA CITY. IT IS L SHAPED AND ON ONE PART IT IS FLAT AND DEAD ENDS INTO ABBEY WHERE A MAIN ACCESS TO THE PARK WILL BE LOCATED. THE OTHER PART RUNS UP A STEEP HILL AND ENDS AT CAE DRIVE. AT THE CURVE OF THE STREET THERE IS CURRENTLY A SIDEWALK (121 FEET) THAT RUNS BETWEEN MY PROPERTY AND THAT OF TOM AND BARBARA MULLER'S PROPERTY. I AM TOLD THAT THERE WAS ORIGINALLY A SMALL DEAD END LOOP THAT JUTTED 1NTO THE PARK FOR A SHORT DISTANCE. LATER THIS LOOP WAS JOINED TO A SMALL PARK TRAIL THAT WINDS ITS WAY THRU THE PARK AND CROSSES OVER THE CREEK TO JOIN ACCESS TO THE PARK FROM TEG DRIVE. AS YOU ARE AWARE THERE IS A BROAD BIKE AND WALKING TRAIL THAT IS PROPOSED FOR THE PARK. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT TO MEET ADA STANDARDS THAT OUR ACCESS HAS TO BE WIDENED. SINCE THEN WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN VARIOUS INFORMATION I AM HERE FOR SOME CLARIFICATION AS TO THE EXTENT OF THE CHANGES THAT WILL HAVE TO BE MADE AND IF THERE ARE ANY EXCEPTIONS THAT CAN BE MADE. WE HAVE INFORMALLY SURVEYED MOST OF THE PEOPLE WHO CURRENTLY PASS THROUGH THE PARK AND NOT ONE PERSON STATED THAT THEY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THIS MINOR ACCESS TO THE PARK BEING WIDENED. WE ALL DO AGREE THAT SOME REPAIRS NEED TO BE MADE ON THE ASPHALT PART OF THE TRAIL AND TO THE WATER VALVE (?) THAT IS IN THE SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF OUR HOUSES. WE CAN GIVE YOU A PETITION OF THE NEIGHBORS ON BURRY AND CAE AND OTHERS THAT USE THIS SMALL TRAIL IF NEEDED. WE REALIZE THAT WITH THE ADDITION OF THE BIKE TRAIL THAT USAGE OF THE TRAIL WILL PROBABLY CHANGE. I AM TOLD THAT THE PROJECT WILL BE DONE IN SEVERAL SEGMENTS AND WE ARE ASKING THE CITY .COUNCIL TO DEFER ANY CHANGES ON THE SMALL ACCESS UNTIL THE MAJOR TRAIL IS IN PLACE. WE NATURALLY HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT ANY MAJOR CHANGE IN THE SMALL ACCESS FROM OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. I WOULD ASK HOW MANY OF THE PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM HAVE A SIDEWALK RUNNING ON THE SIDE OF THEIR PROPERTY BETWEEN THEIR HOUSE AND THAT OF THEIR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE? HOW MANY WOULD BE HAPPY TO LEARN THAT THIS SIDEWALK WILL BE INCREASED ANYWHERE FROM 50 TO 100%?...WIDE ENOUGH THAT RIDERS OF MOTORIZED BIKES AND SCOOTERS MAY SEE THIS AS A ROUTE AND OF COURSE ON A LESS SERIOUS NOTE THAT ROGUE ELEPHANTS MAY ABLE TO USE THIS ACCESS. WE ALSO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF MAKING ANY MAJOR CHANGES. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT TO MEET ADA REQUIREMENTS THAT THERE ARE GRADING STANDARDS AND WONDER IF SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATIONS WILL HAVE TO BE MADE. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD BY AT LEAST ONE OF THE CITY PEOPLE THAT THEY WOULD STRAIGHTEN THE COURSE OF THE TRAIL AND THAT IT WOULD RESULT IN REMOVAL OF A GROUPING OF SMALL TREES BEHIND OUR PROPERTY. WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE ECOLOGICAL IMPACT OF THIS SINCE IT IS USED BY BIRDS AND SMALL ANIMALS DURING THE YEAR AND ESPECIALLY IN THE WINTER AS A SHELTER. WHILE WE ARE SENSITIVE TO THE NEEDS OF OTHERS WHO ARE PHYSICALLY HANDICAPPED WE ALSO WOULD LIKE THE COUNCIL TO TAKE A COMMON SENSE APPROACH. CERTAINLY PEOPLE DO THIS WHEN USING THE SIDEWALK ...IN THAT THEY STEP ASIDE OR WAIT (IF, FOR EXAMPLE, TWO WHEELS CHAIRS OR A GROUP OF PEOPLE PASS EACH OTHER). WE WOULD ASK THE COUNCIL TO INQUIRE IF THERE ARE ANY EXCEPTIONS TO THE ADA REQUIREMENTS AND IF PART OF THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED DIFFERENTLY DOES IT THEN HAVE TO MEET THE SAME ADA REQUIREMENTS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE THE ANALOGY TO DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE ON A VERY HOT DAY AND AFTER A WHILE ONE TIRES OF THE MAJOR ROUTE AND WANTS TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE AND TAKE A SMALLER ROAD WHICH MEANDERS THRU THE COUNTRY SIDE. THIS IS HOW WE VIEW OUR SMALL ACCESS TO THE PARK. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THERE WILL BE A MAJOR ACCESS TO THE PARK LESS THAN ¼ BLOCK AWAY. IN CONCLUSION, WE ARE ASKING THE COUNCIL TO CONSIDER OUR INPUT. WE HOPE THAT YOU REFLECT AND EXPLORE IF OTHER OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE. BY WAITING UNTIL THE MAIN TRAIL IS IN PLACE WE CAN HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF THE USE AND NEEDS OF THIS PATH. WE HAVE A SIDEWALK AND LOVELY MEADERING TRAIL AND REALLY HATE TO SEE IT CHANGED INTO A "MAJOR HIGHWAY" OR MAJOR ACCESS POINT, ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS ONE PLANNED SO CLOSE BY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION IN THIS MATTER. FREDERICK J. D~U~NER, MD City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: June 23, 1999 To: From: Re: City Council John Yapp, Assistant Transportation Planner Willow Creek Trail/Burry Drive connection Questions about the Burry Drive entrance to Willow Creek Park were raised at the June 15 City Council meeting. I researched the width and ownership of the park entrance, and there is a 20- foot wide area of public property in between 1350 and 1338 Burry Drive that was dedicated when this area was platted in 1977. This property was dedicated as public property to provide an access to Willow Creek Park; essentially it is part of Willow Creek Park. It is clear from the subdivision documents that this 20-foot wide access is dedicated public property, not an easement, There is an approximately 3-foot wide sidewalk off of Burry Drive that leads into Willow Creek Park. Improvements to the properties to the north and south of the 20-foot wide access have encroached on park property, limiting the usable space within the property and, I believe, leading to conflicts with the planned trail reconstruction. A portion of a driveway serving the property to the north, and a row of shrubs associated with the property to the south are within public property. Staff had originally intended to reconstruct the trail in this area to an 8-foot width, which is the minimum recommended width for a trail by the American Association of State and Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO). This trail provides an access to the west side of Willow Creek Park, and leads to a bridge that provides access to the east side of the park. The main Willow Creek Trail (10-feet wide) is planned to be constructed primarily along the east side of Willow Creek. It is my understanding that the Director of Parks and Recreation narrowed the planned trail within the Burry Drive access to 6 feet in order to address concerns expressed by the adjacent property owners. This width is a compromise solution, because the trail will no longer meet AASHTO guidelines, but it will still meet the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines for a "walkway." I have attached a page from the construction plans which shows that staff intends to protect and preserve the driveway and shrubs within this access, even though they are on public property. There is an additional access to Willow Creek Park off of Cambria Court to the north of Burry Drive, which is within a 10-foot wide easement, not public property. The Cambria Court access does not connect to the trail system. The City would need to acquire additional property to widen this access. There is also an access planned to Kiwanis Park off of Abbey Lane to the south of Burry Drive. The Burry Drive access is the only access in this neighborhood that provides a connection to the trails within Willow Creek Park. The property owners adjacent to the Burry Drive access may want to consider entering into an easement agreement with the City regarding the portion of the driveway and the shrubs on public property. An agreement would protect the City should the driveway or shrubs be damaged in the future. I would not recommend vacating and selling a portion of the Burry Drive access to the adjacent property owners, because the 20-foot width is the minimum recommended width in the City Code for a trail or greenway access.
