Requested action: Preliminary plat approval
Purpose: To create a 21 -lot residential
subdivision
Location: North of Interstate 80 and east of
Prairie du Chien Road
Size: 30.86 acres
Existing land use and zoning: Undeveloped
Surrounding land use and zoning: North: Agricultural, RS;
East: Agricultural, RS;
South: Interstate 80;
West: Residential, RS.
Comprehensive Plan: Fringe Area A. Since this property is
already zoned RS, the clustering
requirements for Area A do not apply.
Applicable Code requirements: Chapter 14-7, Land Subdivisions
File date: March 14, 1996
45-day limitation period: Waived.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Thomas Wegman is requesting a preliminary plat of Prairie View Estates, Part Four, a 30.86 acre,
21-1ot residential subdivision located north of Interstate 80, east of Prairie du Chien Road. This
application was filed in 1996 but deferred indefinitely due to delays associated with the
realignment of Prairie du Chien Road. The development of Pad Four requires that a secondary
access be provided to the Prairie View Estates Subdivision. A second access was planned at the
northwest edge of the subdivision, but construction of this roadway was delayed until the
realignment of Prairie du Chien Road. Now that that project has been completed, consideration of
the subdivision application has again been requested.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed plat appears to be in general conformance with the City's subdivision regulations.
The subdivision must conform to City Rural Design Standards. Due to the presence of steep
slopes and a drainageway on the property, a grading plan will be required. The grading plan will
have to be approved prior to consideration by the City Council.
The proposed subdivision consists of 21 residential lots, bringing the total number of residential
lots within Prairie View Estates to 69. The development pattern and the lot size of the subject
subdivision is similar to that of the rest of the development. The lots conform with the 40,000
square foot minimum lot size requirement and the 100-foot minimum lot width requirement of the
RS zone (County).
Access to Part Four would be provided by the extension of Sussex Lane and the extension of Kyle
Drive. Kyle Drive is proposed to extend to the east boundary of the subdivision. The City Rural
Design Street Standards require, at minimum, a six-inch stone base and chipseal surface 22 feet
wide. The plat indicates that the streets would be constructed of a six-inch Portland cement
concrete surface 24 feet wide. This street design provides continuity with the rest of the
development, and staff supports the use of a uniform street standard throughout the development.
Secondary Access: A major issue with the subdivision of Parts Two and Three of Prairie View
Estates concerned secondary access. Secondary access is important in residential areas in that,
as lots are platted further away from the primary street, convenience of access for residents of the
development diminishes and the ability to provide emergency and public services is reduced.
Providing more than one means of access to a residential development will assure accessibility for
the efficient delivery of emergency and public service vehicles and reduce the impact on existing
neighborhoods by distributing traffic to more than one street. Without a secondary access to the
Prairie View Estates Development, all traffic will be forced to pass through Kyle Drive.
The recent improvements to Prairie du Chien Road will allow the applicant to provide adequate
secondary access to Prairie View Estates Part Four via Syril Street. The applicant recently
reached an agreement with the County regarding the maintenance of the portion of old Prairie du
Chien Road that will remain to provide access to Syril Street. The Agreement is to be considered
for adoption by the Board of Supervisors along with this plat. This will also require that the
applicant upgrade Syril Street to the same standard as the other streets within the subdivision. To
assure that these improvements necessary to achieve secondary access are completed in a
timely manner, staff recommends that the preliminary plat be conditioned upon the construction of
Syril Street to connect to Prairie du Chien Road prior to final plat approval. This condition has
been noted on the plat and should be included in the Commission's motion.
Storm Water Management: Storm water management detention basins for the entire
development were anticipated with the approval of Part One. Storm water management
easements were secured through Part One and Part Two. These basins are adequate to provide
storm water management for the proposed development.
Water Distribution and Waste Water Treatment: The locations of some of the septic
absorption fields appear questionable, along steep slopes leading to drainageways. Staff
recommends that preliminary approval of the proposed well and water distribution systems and
septic system be required from the Johnson County Department of Health prior to Council
consideration of the preliminary plat.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB96-0006, a request for a preliminary plat of Prairie View Estates, Part
Four, be approved, subject to completion of the construction of Syril Street to Prairie du Chien
Road to provide secondary access for the development prior to final plat approval, and subject to
the approval of a grading plan by Public Works and preliminary approval of the proposed well and
water distribution systems and on-site waste water treatment systems by the Johnson County
Department of Health prior to Council consideration of the plat.

Environmental Health AsseSsment
Wastewater Comments: The Johnson Board of Health area requirement
is one acre, overall lot densitV is 1.40 acres. The applicant is
proposing private sewage disposal systems to serve the 22 lots.
Judy Krieg, MMS Engineer Consultant Representative, has completed
the technical information required by Section XIX, of the Johnson
County Onsite Wastewater Regulation 1999. On April. 24, 2000, Judy
made an onsite investigation to determine whether each proposed
residential lot could support a private sewage disposal system. During
the site visit, she determined that Prairie View Estates Part 4, has a
Fayette soil type. Ms. Krieg has describes Fayette soil-O-1 '-brown silty

Also, I found the Soil Survey of Johnson County, Iowa refers this site
to be a Fayette soil type. !n addition, Judy Krieg, the applicant's
engineer consultant has shown the proposed and existing wells,
easements, potential house sites, and private sewage disposal systems
on the preliminary plat. Private sewage disposal systems are shown on
the plat to be located on slopes less than 18%, away from drainage-
ways, and concave depressions. Ms. Krieg's has stated in her report
that every lot excluding 56 and 65 has the potential to have septic
tanks-primary treatment and absorption fields-secondary treatment.
Lots 57, 58, 59, 60, 61,62, 63, 66, 67, 69, and 70 have flexible
areas on the lot to install a septic tank and absorption field. However,
lot owners need to be aware that the house size, # of bedrooms, and
house location may be limited to install a conventional private sewage
disposal systems on lots 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 64, and 68.
Johnson County Department of Public Health Department will reinstate
the Johnson County Onsite Wastewater Regulation 1999, section
19.08. 19.08 states that utilizing conventional onsite wastewater
system technology should be made to plat lots that can be served by
conventional onsite wastewater treatment and disposal systems.
However, Ms. Krieg could not find a suitable area for a septic tank and
absorption field on lots 56 and 65. She is proposing a sand-filter or
mechanical aerobic system to overcome the small and large drainage-
ways on the lot. Health Department will require the homeowner that
will be served by the sand filter or a mechanical system to have an
indefinite operational permit according to the Johnson County Onsite
Wastewater Regulation 1999.

Water Well Comments: Applicant will need to have a community well
according to the Johnson County Board of Health's Criteria For
Evaluating Water Wells In Subdivision with 15 lots or more. The well
must be permitted by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and
must conform to all applicable rules and regulations of the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources (IDNR). Also, a well forecast has
been obtained bV the IDNR's Geological Survey Bureau. In summary,
Bob Rowden, a geologist, reports that the subdivision be served by a
silurian well. Silurian well depth should be approximately 210 feet and
deeper in the proposed area. Silurian well should yield 50-100 gallons
per minute to serve the 22 homes.
The Johnson County Dept. of Public Health has reviewed the
preliminary plat and will make additional comments at the next zoning
commission hearing on June 12, 2000.

Th~ following contorts ihe ~6~hniaal infomtion required by Seaion X~ of ~e lohnson County
Deponent of ~blis H~ Onsite Wasmwamr R=~latians for th~ proposed pinning of P~ti~ View

According to th~ Soil Suwey of Johnson County, Exhibit C, the major soil typ~ for this site is a Fayette
silt loam wi~ a slope v~ing between 5-9% ~d 9-14%. St~pff slopes am loGorod within

The soil mapped units were v~d~ed on Ap~l 24, 2000 by taking four inch diameter flight auger borings
from two representative locations ~ong with approximately eight 6-foot deep soil probes. ~ g~neral,
the soil is described as 0-1' of brown silty clay loam; 24' of d~k yellowish bro~ silty clay loam; and
4'-6' dark yellowish brown silty clay lore wi~ the occurcote of moUles v~ing in ~pth from 36-54
inches.
Exhibit A shows ~e proposed and existing wells, ~em6nts, and potential house sites. ~ g~n~r~, the
~ptic sysm~ cabot ~ pl~ed in ~y d~nageway ~d must mc~t all setback requkements. Based on
the Soil Su~oy of Johnson County and on $e li~t~d number or soil hodrigs, the following preliminaW
conclusions c~ be ge. However, additional soil testing and site evaluations will be needed once the
si~ ~d location or the hous~ are ~own so ~at the appropdatc s~ondaW ~a~ent sysmm can be
dg~ined. See the auached Exhibit B for soil hodrig descriptions devil.
Lots 57,58,50,60,61,62,6~,66,67,69,70. ~e soil on th~su lots oonsists of a ~pic~ Faye~ silt loam.
~ese lots should suppoe a soil abso~tion system ~ ~eas where the slope is less th~ ei~men percent.
~ ~as wh=m the high seasonal water tabl~ ~ greater than 4.5 f~t, a trench soil abso~tion systom
(conventional) should b~ adequate. An effluent pump may b~ requked if the elovation of the house is
lower th~ th~ septic field. ~ ~as where the high s6asonal water tabl6 is less than 4.5 feet, a pressure
dosed shallow trenches, at-grade or mound system should b~ ad~uate.
Lots 49,50.51,52,53,54,55,~.68. Th~ soils on th~se lots consist of a Wpio~ Fay~gt silt loam. However,
them may not be ~quam ~ea for a conventional uench soil abso~tion system. ~a soil abso~tion

system (trench, sh~low trench, at-Cede or mound), a sand filter or mechanic~ system ~y be required.
Lots 56. The soil on this lot consists of a Fayette silt loam with several large ~d small drainageways. A
non-soil dependent system may be n~cessa~ for this lot such as a sand filter or mechanic~ system.
DEC,-01'00(FRI) 13:17 dO CO PUB HEALTH
Lot 65 The soil on this lot consists of a Fayotto silt loam. It appears that much of the lot has been
previously altered a.s evident by the numerous grassed over gulties and irregular slopes and based on the
air photos available at the Johnson County Auditor' s Office. A non-soil dependent system is
recommended for this lot such as a sand filter or mechanical system
In regards to wa-~tewater systems, suitable soil provides excellent treatment of sewage tank effluent.
When properly designed, installed, operated and rrufintained, onsite systems treat sewage as well as or
better than municipal systems.- The natural topsoil should be utilized for treatment wherever possible. In
soils were there is a seasonal saturation at depths closer than 4.5 feet to the ground system an above
Fade, At-Grade or Mound System, can be used depending of the depth to the high seasonal water table.
Where there is not adequate soil or space for a soil absorption system. other onsite technology can be
utilized such as sand filter or mechanical system,
Septic system may fail because of: a.) improper siting of the systetu, b.) improper site disturbance, c.) the
water usage i-~ greater than design, d.) post construction disturbance of the mound, e.) improper
installation; and/or f.} improper tuainten,'mce. Therefore, it is important that with any wastewater
treatment system, proper measures be taken to avoid failures. For any new subdivision, we recommend
the following:
I. A recognized soil specialist should evaluate the soils and the site to determine the depth to any
limiting layer and to determine the loading rate for the septic system.
2. The proposed septic system sites rnust be roped off and protected prior to construction, No fill
may be placed on the site and no soil may be removed. After the septic system is constructed,
th~ area should be designated so that no one parks or drives on the septic field.
3. The septic system should be constructed by a contractor experienced in septic system
construction.
4. A mai hienonce contract betwe.~n.a septic system contractor and the homeowner's association
is strongly recommended. Each site without an exterior effluent pump should be inspected
annually and those with an exterior effluent pump should be inspected biannually. During the
inspection, the sludge level in the tank, effluent filter and pump should be checked and the septic
field site should be walked to check for wet spots and/or effluent surfacing. The tanks should be
pumped after the first year and every 2-3 years after that or as determined by the maintenance
contractor.
Any new or proposed septic field should meet the setback requirements set forth in the Johnson County
Onsite Wastewater Regulations (1999). For example, they should be placed greater than 100-feet from
any private well and greater than 200-feet from any public well.
Attached is a soil boring location map, soil boring descriptions and a copy of the Soils Map from the
Johnson County Soil Survey. If you need any further assistance or have any questions or concerns, feel
free to contact me.

City of Iowa City
Planning and Zoning Commission
Commission Members,
I am writing concerning the application from Thomas Wegman for a preliminary plat of Prairie View Estates, Part
Four. As a property owner in Prairie Veiw Estates I would like to present my concerns on the affects of this
planned subdivision of Part Four.
I understand that one of the requirements to apmval of this application would require the addition of a second
street access into our subdivision and that it would be acomplished by the paving of the closed Syril Street. I say
closed because this roadway has not been maintaned for emergency vechial traffic as it was agreed to with the
County since 1993 when we bought our property and had not been maintained for several years prior to 1993
according to other property owners.
There are very good reasons why the road was closed and never used again. The intersection with Prairie DuChien
was on a curve at the bottom of a steep hill. Likewise, the connection to Banbury Street is also on a curve at the
bottom of a steep hill. The sight distance is very limited for traffic coming north over the hill on Banbury Street to
the proposed intersection. In winter and summer alike there cars who fail to negotiate the curve and end up right
where cars would have been sitting waiting to enter Banbury Street from Syril Street. The posted 15 mile and hour
speed limit is rarely observed, add to this drivers who may be unfamiliar with the subdivision makes the hill/curve
combination all the more dangerous. This north facing hill is shaded in the winter causing icy conditions that
make it difficult to negotiate the curve as it is currently designed, let alone adding an intersection to the situation.
The possibility of traffic accidents at this proposed intersection is the least of our womes. Since there are no
sidewalks, the street is where our children walk to the bus stop and many rn'operty owners exercise and walk their
pets year round. Drivers need to be concentrating on avoiding children walking along the roadway when they
come over the crest of the hill on Banbu~, not entering traffic from the proposed intersection. We face the
difficulties of sight problems daily when we back out of our driveway, in fact we will no doubt be backing across
the proposed intersection.
We understand the desire for a second entrance, but the safety hazards created with this proposal are unexceptable.
Since Devon Drive is proposed to connect to Prairie DuChien Road in the future, this would seem to be a much
safer alternative and would allow the second access that the City requires. The safety of our children and residents
should be paramount. We would encourage you to visit the site.

Item: SUBO0-O015, Date: August 3, 2000
Saddlebrook Addition, Part 2
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Applicant: Lake Calvin Properties
802 S. Gilbert Street
Iowa City, IA 52240
354-1961
Requested Action: Preliminary and final plat and manufactured
housing site plan approval
Purpose: To allow expansion of a manufactured housing
park
Location: Heinz Road south of Highway 6
Size: 72.5
Existing Land Use and Zoning: Vacant
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Residential; RFBH and RM-20
South: Wetland Reserve and Agricultural; RR-1
East: Agricultural; RS (County)
West: Agricultural; RS-8
File Date: July 28, 2000
45 Day Limitation Period: September 11, 2000
SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Public Utilities: Municipal water and sanitary sewer service area
available to serve the site.
Public Services: Police and Fire protection will be provided by the
City. Solid waste disposal will be provided by a
private hauler.
Transportation: Street access will be provided initially by Heinz
Road. Transit service will initially be provided
from the Iowa City Transit stop at Bon Aire
Mobile Home Court. When at least two means of
access are established, then an extension of Iowa
City Transit service into the subdivision can be
2
considered. This may be the extension of an
existing route or could be a new route.
Physical characteristics: The site slopes from north to south towards the
Snyder Creek Bottom.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The annexation and rezoning process for the 422-acre Sycamore Farms development was
completed in August 1994. Revised preliminary and final plats for Saddlebrook Part 1, were
approved in 1996. A site plan for a 222-unit manufactured housing site plan on lot 4 was
approved in 1997 (the current application would revise the southeast portion of that plan). A
site plan for multi-family buildings has been approved for lot 2, which is zoned RM-20
Medium Density Multi-family. Lot 3 contains a club-house and storage facilities that serve
the manufactured housing park and a nonconforming house and farm buildings. Lot 1,
which is zoned RM-20, is vacant.
The applicant is now requesting a resubdivision to allow the relocation of the not yet built
portion of Heinz Road, and the relocation of the east/west parkway. This would also require
the redesign of the southwest portion of the manufactured housing park. An additional 68
manufactured housing sites are also included.
The proposed subdivision is subject to the Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA) which
applies to the entire Sycamore Farms annexation area. That agreement includes
requirements for a mitigation plan designed to protect the Snyder Creek Bottoms wetland
area from storm water runoff; dedication of neighborhood open space and payment for all
oversize cost except those associated with an east-west parkway. The preliminary/final plat
and manufactured housing park site plan as submitted contain deficiencies and
discrepancies, which are noted at the end of this report. Revised plans where submitted on
July 27. Therefor staff has not had adequate time to complete review of the plans.
ANALYSIS:
Subdivision Design: The previously approved plats depicted the location of the east/west
parkway between lots 4 and 6. The applicant is now proposing that the parkway be
relocated to the south of lot 6. The proposed location would follow the top of the ridge
that defines the wetlands conservation easement. In addition to this major change the
location of Heinz road would be shifted slightly. The manufactured housing park would be
redesigned and additional lease lots would be located on lots 5, 6 and 7. The entire
manufactured housing park is proposed to contain a total of 290 units. The proposed
design would result in several lots with driveways onto Heinz Road, a collector street.
Secondary Access: Currently Heinz Road provides the only street access to Saddlebrook.
In the future additional access will be provided when the east/west parkway connects
Sycamore Street to Highway 6. However construction of the parkway is not in the
Capital Improvement Plan and it is unlikely that it will be built in the near term. Therefore
secondary access for general traffic circulation and for emergency vehicles is of concern.
The City's secondary access guidelines indicate that no more than 2500 vehicles trips per
3
day should be permitted on a collector street without a second means of access. Based
on 6 vehicular trips per day estimated from manufactured housing units and apartment
dwellings a maximum of 416 dwelling units could be permitted in Saddlebrook prior to a
second means of access. The applicant has already received approval to build 156 multi-
family dwellings on lot 2. Lots 1 and 3 have the potential for approximately 130
additional units upon site plan approval. With the approval of the current proposal for a
total of 290 units on lots 4 and 6, Saddlebrook will have the potential for approximately
575 dwelling units.
To assure that secondary access guidelines are adhered to, approval of this proposal
should be subject to limitation of 416 dwelling units within the entire Saddlebrook
development until such time that secondary access is provided. As a condition of
approval staff recommends that the legal papers for the final plat contain a requirement
that the applicant provide a quarterly report regarding the number of units constructed or
installed within the entire Saddlebrook development. This would include the manufactured
housing units as well as units within the multi-family buildings that will be constructed on
lots 1 and 2. Once a total of 416 units are established no additional units could be
installed or built until adequate secondary access is provided. This agreement will need to
be recorded and will need to apply to all lots within Saddlebrook.
Heinz Road: When the final plat for Saddlebrook, Part 1, was approved the applicant
entered into a legal agreement that specified they would build Heinz Road or provide an
escrow for its construction when any additional development occurred. Approval of this
current proposal will require construction of the street or establishment of the escrow.
The applicant has indicated that earth from the home sites on lot 6 will be used for fill for
Heinz Road. Therefore the applicant prefers providing a letter of credit rather than building
Heinz Road. The letter of credit will specify that Heinz Road will need to be built with in 6
months of the establishment of 416 dwelling units within Saddlebrook or within 90 days
of completion of the east/west parkway which ever comes sooner. If the applicant does
not complete Heinz road within these specified timeframes, the City will be able to draw
on the letter of credit to build the street. The applicant should provide plans and estimates
for construction of Heinz Road. These plans should include the cost of fill. The City will
review them and establish the required amount for the letter of credit.
The applicant has proposed that Heinz Road be 28 feet wide rather than 31 feet required
for collector streets. The subdivision regulations allow for exceptions if the applicant
demonstrates that strict compliance would result in poor subdivision design or result in
substantial degradation of the natural environment and the Planning and Zoning
Commission recommend the exceptions to the Council.
Neighborhood Connectivity: The property to the east of Saddlebrook is currently beyond
the City limits but within the City's growth area. Therefore it is likely that this area will
someday be annexed and developed within the City. The plat as submitted shows only
one street (Traekner Lane) providing access to this area between Highway 6 and the
east/west parkway. This is a distance of over Y2 mile. To assure good traffic circulation
and neighborhood connectivity as described in the Comprehensive Plan, staff believes that
Paddock Boulevard should be extended as a local street (50' right-of-way) to provide a
connection between Saddlebrook and the future neighborhood to the east. The applicant
prefers not to have this connection. As a compromise the applicant has moved the
east/west connection from Mustang Lane to Traekner Lane so that it is approximately
2000 feet south of Highway 6 and 1000 feet north of the future parkway. Based on the
4
Comprehensive Plan policy of providing for an interconnected street pattern, staff
recommends that another east/west street connection be a requirement of plat approval.
This could be at Paddock Boulevard or at another location if Traeker Lane is moved farther
south.
The site plan provides for a private street access to the RS-8, Medium Density Single-
Family, area to the west of Saddlebrook. When the RS-8 area develops, it is likely that a
public street will connect to this private street. It is not ideal to have private streets
changing into public streets because of concerns about maintenance and traffic control.
But in this case, there does not appear to be a good alternative. In absence of such a
connection in this area, there would be an approximately ~A mile section between
Highway 6 and the parkway with no internal street circulation. This would not be a good
situation for emergency vehicles, general traffic circulation or neighborhood connectivity.
For these reasons, staff recommends approval of the design submitted.
Parkway Design: The future parkway should be included in the plat and the right-of-way
dedicated to the City. The parkway will need to be designed to assure that grading for the
street does not encroach into the conservation easement for the wetlands. Storm water
from the arterial should be discharged into the storm water management area. The
mitigation plan was submitted late and it is not clear whether or not it adequately
addresses how storm water from the arterial will be treated.
The site plan shows the sidewalk on the north side of the parkway meandering between
the right-of-way and the private open space adjacent to the street right-of-way. Where
the sidewalk is located in the right-of-way it should be consistently one foot from the
property line so that there are no conflicts with utilities and there is adequate room for
street construction. The legal papers should include a public access easement over the
portion of the sidewalk that will be on the private property. There will also need to be a
maintenance agreement requiring snow removal and repair of the sidewalk as if it was part
of the public street.
Mitigation Plan: The conditional zoning agreement for Saddlebrook requires that the
mitigation plan be submitted for each phase of the development to show how the
wetlands will be protected from storm water runoff. The mitigation plan was just
submitted this week. Staff has asked a wetland specialist to review it and provide
comments regarding its adequacy.
Storm Water Management: The relocation of the parkway will require the redesign of the
existing pond located in the southwest corner of lot 6. The previously designed but not yet
built pond in the eastern portion of lot 7 has also been redesigned. The storm water
management calculations and the mitigation plan should address these revisions. At this
point staff has not received the necessary storm water calculations.
Open Space: A portion of the required open space is being dedicated in outlots A and B.
The Parks and Recreation Commission have indicated that the remaining open space
requirements should be dedicated in the western portion of the RS-8 area so that a
neighborhood park can be developed adjacent to the South Sycamore storm water facility.
Fees: Water main extension fees are required for lots 5,6 and 7. Sanitary Sewer tap-on
fees are not required for this area.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary and final plat of Saddlebrook Addition, Part One
a 72.5 acre, 4 lot residential subdivision and a manufactured housing site plan for 290
housing units located at Paddock Blvd. and Heinz Road be deferred pending resolution
of the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The right-of-way for the east/west parkway should be included on the final plat and
dedicated to the City.
2. Preliminary storm water calculations must be submitted.
3. The mitigation plan was submitted late. It must be reviewed prior to approval.
4. Legal papers should include a letter of credit, provisions regarding maintenance of the
public sidewalk on the north side of the parkway, and covenants regarding the 416-unit
limitation until secondary access is provided.
5. A 50' right-of-way for the extension of a local street east of Paddock Boulevard or an
acceptable alternative should be included on the plats.
6. Fire hydrants must be located according to space requirements of Uniform Fire Code
(UFC Appendix Ill-B).
7. An 8" water main should be shown on Dressage Lane to the future parkway and also on
Paddock Circle. An 8" water main should be on Mustang Lane between Heinz Road and
Paddock Circle. A 12" water main should be shown on Heinz Raod.

CIVIC CENTER LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM

MEMBERS ABSENT: Steve Hoch, Cathy Weingeist
STAFF PRESENT: Drew Shaffer, Dale Helling, Bob Hardy, Mike Brau
OTHERS PRESENT: Rick Karnes, Lanae Juffer, Jason Livingston, Rene Paine
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL
None at this time.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Juffer reported that AT&T increased the number of subscribers by over 1000 in the third quarter.
Beginning November 1 the packaging of the basic and expanded basic tiers will be combined into
"standard cable". The basic tier will continue to be offered separately, but bills will combine the two
with a parenthetical note that it combines the two tiers. Paine reported that over 50 local artists have
donated work for PATV's art auction fundraiser to be held Saturday Oct. 28 from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the
United Methodist Church. PATV will hold their annual membership meeting November 15 at 6:30 at
Meeting Room A of the public library. A board member will be elected, videos shown, and awards
presented. Hardy reported that over the past month 70% of all programs on the City Channel were
community-related. 21 nonprofit organizations worked with the City Channel in the last month.
Shaffer reported on some ideas for outreach in addition to purchasing the digital tier program listing
service. Shaffer said he knows of no other way to reach as many subscribers for the money than the
digital tier program listings. Smith and Pusack said, and the Commission reached consensus that the
1/3 community programming requirement in PATV's contract should be judged by the total cablecast
time, not the total number of programs. The Commission agreed that the viewing area should be
considered the community for community programming purposes. The Commission also agreed that
Access Update and the telethon would qualify as community programming but Open Channel would
not. In regard to the new space for the City Cable TV Office, Helling said there are several sources of
funding for the facility. There is $200,000 received in a legal settlement and about $150,000 in equity
in the current space, which will be sold back to the City. The pass-through fund has been setting aside
$25,000 a year for a facility and will have about $125,000 in February. In addition, about $50,000 has
accrued in interest from the $200,000 settlement. The cable TV fund balance will make up the rest,
even though it will probably be be drawn down more than desired. The total cost is estimated to be
about $675,000, including $425,000 for the shell and $250,000 for finishing costs. This would seem
to be a reasonable use of funds given it is an equity investment, which is what was always discussed,
especially in terms of the pass-through fund. The value of the property should appreciate over time.
The Commission reached consensus to encourage the City Cable TV Office to pursue the low power
FM radio license.
community programming totals. Programs such as Open Channel, while provided by PATV, should
not as each participant should be considered the producer for the segment they are in. The content of
the program is not about PATV and its activities. PATV's recent telethon contained segments, such
as performances that could be considered community programming. The telethon is an unusual
situation and likely will not be a factor in the future. Smith said he agrees with Paine's perspective.
The Commission agreed that Access Update and the telethon would qualify as community
programming but Open Channel would not.
CNEW CABLE DIVISION SPACE D
Shaffer referred to the memo included in the meeting packet and said that there is value for the Cable
TV Office to be located close to the Civic Center. This is a difficult factor to attach a dollar figure.
Pusack asked what value is gained by being close to the Civic Center and what are the costs for
facilities in locations further away. Shaffer said that the City is the cable division' s primary client and
city staff are the people that the cable division needs to work with on a consistent, day-to-day basis. In
addition, the community members make up a large constituency and most of them are in the downtown
area. Helling said the City has a desire to have as many City facilities as close together as possible.
Shaffer said that the cost of the new facility is about $175 per square foot. Purchasing the Ambrisco
Insurance building was considered for purchase at one time. The cost for it was about $525,000 and it
was too small and was going to have to be enlarged. Shaffer said there would also have been a
substantial cost, about $15,000 per mile, to connect to the cable plant from that location. The
downtown location benefits from being in close proximity to the existing cable. Helling said there are
several sources of funding for the facility. There is $200,000 received in a legal settlement and about
$150,000 in equity in the current space, which will be sold back to the City. The pass-through fund
has been setting aside $25,000 a year for a facility and will have about $125,000 in February. In
addition, about $50,000 has accrued in interest from the $200,000 settlement. The cable TV fund
balance will make up the difference, even though it will probably be drawn down more than desired.
The total cost is estimated to be about $675,000, including $425,000 for the shell and $250,000 for
finishing costs. This would seem to be a reasonable use of funds given it is an equity investment,
which is what was always discussed, especially in terms of the pass-through fund. The value of the
property should appreciate over time. McKray said she liked the joint facility concept and it is
unfortunate that it will not work out at this time. Smith said he has a concern that the pass-through
funds dedicated to a new facility had been said to be for PATV as well and there may be a perception
that the City is taking all the funds. Helling said that PATV is not involved in the space, but the new
space does accommodate 3 of the 4 players-the City Channel, the Community Television Service and
by virtue of the proximity to the Senior Center, Senior Center TV. What is being proposed is to use
the funds that have accumulated so far. $25,000 per year will continue to be set aside for each of the
next five years. McKray said she had no problem with the arrangement given that PATV and the other
access channels have an opportunity to share in those funds in the future.
LOW POWER FM RADIO
Shaffer said that the City' s proposed low power FM radio channel would enhance the City's public
information program. Many of the programs now being cablecast on cable TV would also be
broadcast over radio. The station would reach nearly all of Iowa City. The City would also like to
play some of the programs from the other access channels. The filing window for the license

From: Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager
Fie: Cable Division Space in Tower Court - Project '
The current total estimate for the above-referenced project is $710,000, which includes
purchase of the commercial condominium space at the market rate, finishing off the interior
space to the specifications of the Cable Division, and architectural consultant fees.
Funding for this project is available as follows:
1. Franchise renewal payment from TCh $200,000
This amount has been reserved since 1996 for funding a
portion of a new facility. It is fully available only because
the cost of consulting fees for franchise renewal was
absorbed by the Cable Division operating budget. Interest
on the $200,000 has accrued to the operating fund
balance (see #4 below) and is estimated at about $50,000.
2. Sale of the current Cable space back to the General Fund: $152,000
When the North Court addition was constructed, $125,000
of the construction cost was covered by the Cable Division
for its current space. We have applied a 2.5% annual
appreciation factor to determine a comparable value today
of approximately $152,000.
3. Pass-through revenue: $125,000
The cable franchise provides for a $.50 per month per
subscriber pass-through amount to help fund local access.
We had ear-marked $25,000 per year of that revenue
(total: $250,000 over 10 years) to go toward a joint
programmin9 facility. We have collected half of this total
amount over the first five years of the franchise and are
proposing to apply these funds toward the project.

December 13, 2000
Page 2
4. Cable Division Operating Fund Balance: $232,000
This includes approximately $50,000 interest as noted in
#1 above. The fund balance has been allowed to grow
over the years in anticipation of the need to purchase
space, and we are confident that we can absorb this cost
and still maintain a balance at or above three months'
operating expenses, which corresponds with the quarterly
payment of franchise fees to the City by AT&T. Such a
balance guarantees that we will have continued cash flow
for Division operations.
TOTAL: $710,000
Staff will be present at the public hearing on the plans and specifications for this project to
answer any other questions you may have.

MEMORANDUM
Date: December 13, 2000
To: City Council and City Manager
From: Rick Fosse, City Engineer ~
Re: Iowa Avenue Streetscape Phase II
Public Works and Engineering recommends awarding the Iowa Avenue Streetscape,
Phase II Project to All American Concrete, Inc., as the lowest responsible bidder.
Although Peterson Contractor's Inc., submitted the lowest bid, it does not meet the
contractual requirement that the prime contractor's own organization perform at least
50% of the work.
The requirement that the prime contractor perform at least 50% of the work is
standard for most Iowa City and Iowa Department of Transportation contracts. It
exists because many project delays and problems are caused by coordination and
mobilization issues related to subcontractors. Simply stated, the greater the amount
of work that is subcontracted the greater the opportunity for conflicts and delay.
Also, when more than 50% of the work is subcontracted it is a good indication that a
particular project does not fall within the area of expertise of the prime contractor.
The Iowa Avenue Streetscape project is the most complicated and comprehensive of
the recent downtown projects. It entails reconstructing the pavement and sidewalks
across the full width of the right-of-way virtually from building face to building face. It
also includes replacement of the water main and sanitary sewer as well as
reconstruction of portions of the storm sewer. The impact to area businesses will be
significant making this a highly demanding project for the contractor to manage. It is
important that the requirements for contractor selection be followed to insure the
best chance of success for this project.
The low bid was $2,415,000 from Peterson Contractor's Inc., and the second low bid
was $2,457,469 from All American Concrete Inc. The Engineer's estimate for this
project was $2,509,145.

DECLARATION OF CONDOMINIUM
TOWER PLACE AND PARKING
PREFACE: The Declarant, the City of Iowa City, has deemed it in the public interest to
construct a public parking facility at the coruer of Iowa Avenue and Linn Street in Iowa City,
Iowa, which public parking structure is to include a private parking area appurtenant to an
assisted housing facility, as well as certain privately owned commercial units in a horizontal
property regime. As a result of this unusual combination of various ownerships, certain
departures from condominium practice are implied. Among those departures is the fact that the
basic structure is not a common element as defined by the Horizontal Property Act, but is part of
the unit retained by the Declarant. The common elements subject to common ownership and a
portion of expenses are deliberately few in number. The association of owners, denominated by
the declaration as the Council of Co-owners, has a limited role and is formed as an
unincorporated association, meeting only on an ad hoc basis to perform the limited functions
necessary.
The Declarant, therefore, states that the land described in Article I, Paragraph A of this
declaration is hereby submitted to a horizontal property regime as defined by Chapter 499B,
Code of Iowa (1999) named Tower Place and Parking, to be subject to the covenants, conditions,
uses, limitations and obligations as specified in this declaration.
ARTICLE I
DESCRIPTION OF LAND AND BUILDING
A. Land. The land submitted to the regime herein described is as follows: Lots 1, 2, 3 and
4, Block 61, Iowa City, Iowa, according to the recorded plat thereof.
B. Description of Building. The building subject to the regime shall be a 6-level parking
facility including spaces for commercial units on the west end, as well as commercial
spaces at the northeast coruer of the building along Iowa Avenue, and along Gilbert
Street. The configuration of the building and the composite building materials are all
shown of record on the building plans attached hereto as Exhibit A.
ARTICLE II
UNITS
The units of the condominium regime, being those areas susceptible of separate ownership as
described by the Horizontal Property Act are relatively located as shown on the schematic
diagram filed with this Declaration as Exhibit B and are further described as follows:
A. Unit 1A.
1. Definition of Space. Unit 1A is located at the southwest comer of the street level
of the structure, consists of 5,599 square feet and includes the mezzanine, as
shown on as Exhibit "B". The unit is bounded on the bottom by finished floor
elevation of 680.00, on the top by the finished ceiling elevation of 702.00, and on
the sides by the defining vertical surfaces shown on the plans and as more
particularly described in Section L1 of this Article. Unit 1A excludes the stairway
located at the southeast comer, as such stairway exists between the bottom
elevation of Unit 1A and the top elevation of Unit 2A, which stairway is a limited
