MEMORANDUM
Date: August16, 2001
To: City Council
From: Karin Franklin, Director, PCD
Sarah Holecek, First Assistant City Attorney~
Re: Voluntary Annexation Agreement--Hummingbird Lane
Enclosed in your packet is a proposed agreement between the City and the
owners of property on and near Hummingbird Lane. This agreement was
negotiated at the direction of the Mayor, with the concurrence of the Council,
after the last formal meeting on July 31, 2001.
The staff does not support this agreement and continues to recommend
annexation of all the properties as outlined in the presentation to you on July 30th
and 31St' We have consulted with the City Development Board and reviewed a
recent Attorney General's opinion regarding annexation agreements. In general,
it is the opinion of the Attorney General's Office that cities may enter into
annexation agreements with private landowners. Further, this opinion notes that
other courts have upheld such agreements against successor owners. However,
this same opinion strongly cautions cities in the use of such agreements due to
issues of enforceability when the time comes for the voluntary annexation to
OCCUr.
First, the existence of such an annexation agreement does not mean that a city
itself can institute a voluntary annexation or that such an annexation will
automatically occur when the conditions for annexation are met. Voluntary
annexation can only occur when "all the owners of land in a territory adjoining a
city...apply in writing to the council of the adjoining city requesting annexation of
the territory." Thus, an application for annexation must come, under State law,
from a petition of the property owner(s). The City cannot itself legally petition for
annexation on behalf of property owners. Therefore, according to the proposed
Agreement which requires all landowners to submit to voluntary annexation, if an
owner and/or successor owner refuses to join in making a written application, the
city or other landowners may have to initiate judicial proceedings in order to force
compliance with the agreement. In other words, the Hummingbird owners will
need to collectively and/or individually take an affirmative action to petition for
annexation five years from the date of the Agreement. Although this Agreement
is a contractual arrangement and subject to the laws of contracts, a single owner,
depending upon the amount of land they own, could thwart the annexation by
refusing to apply for annexation thereby creating an island that does not fall
under the 80/20 rule. The recourse for the City would be the significant expense
and delay of a Court action for enforcement of the agreement and/or the
significant expense of an involuntary annexation election.
It is true that entry into any agreement is subject to the compliance of the parties
to the terms of the agreement. In most cases, agreements work because they
are mutually beneficial to the signatory parties. In this case, because of the
number of parties involved, the opportunity for change in ownership of any of
these properties, the time period at the end of which compliance is to be attained,
and the necessity of the other parties taking an affirmative action for the Council
to have jurisdiction to consider the annexation, the risk of non-compliance is
arguably higher than in a typical short-term two-party agreement. Thus, we
believe there is a significant degree of risk with this Agreement that will place the
City in a poorer position relative to the one we are in now and that the Council
should consider this risk in making its decision.
The staff continues to support the original annexation proposal as being in the
best interest of the short and long term future of Iowa City and its growth. It is
consistent with our Comprehensive Plan and with our growth boundary.
Potential annexation of this area has been public policy since 1992 and the
progression of the city eastward has been apparent to anyone living in the area,
as evidenced by the approval of Windsor Ridge in 1993, the development of
Scott Boulevard East, Part 4 in 1999, and the extension of Court Street in 2000.
We understand the property owners' resistance and respect that right.
Accordingly, with the proposed involuntary annexation, we have tried to present
the best package possible to ameliorate the circumstances though the 20-year
deferral on mandatory connection to municipal sewer and water and the property
tax transition proposal.

Subject: Hummingbird Lane
To all those concerned,
The formal draft of the proposal from the City to those in the
Hummingbird Lane/Frank properties was received on Saturday.
There was a meeting at our house Sunday afternoon including all those
available. The Carters, Muilenburgs, Mitroses, Wolfs and Lou Frank were all
in agreement that this was a reasonable accommodation in view of the
circumstances. We are in favor of accepting this agreement, and a number of
us have already signed the agreement to signify this. The Fishers and the
Foleys are out of town and not expected back until Tuesday. However, from
prior neighborhood discussions, we feel certain that they will favor this
current proposal. I was able to talk to the Hoyles (who now reside in
Annapolis, Maryland) on Sunday afternoon. They expressed a willingness to
accept the proposal.
This is a difficult situation for all concerned. Good motives on
all sides are at cross purposes on some issues. We are very pleased that
the City has seen fit to put forth a reasonable proposal that will lessen
the negative effects of the changes which are about to occur. It is the
ability to work in such a spirit of compromise that allows for difficult
issues to be resolved. We would all like to be able to come to a rapid and
amicable agreement. I, for one, take pride in living in a part of the
country where I feel that I have a voice that can be heard, and in which
people in positions of political power are approachable and willing to work
to achieve solutions to vexing problems.

AVIATION COMMERCE PARK FINANCING AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is hereby made and executed by and between the Iowa City Airport
Commission of Iowa City, Iowa (hereinafter "Commission") and the City of Iowa City, Iowa
(hereinafter "City"). The City is a municipal corporation organized under the laws of the State of
Iowa and the Commission is an authority organized under Chapter 330 of the Iowa Code and
vested with all powers granted to cities under the Iowa Code, except the power to sell the airport.
This agreement outlines the terms and conditions, and the relative rights and responsibilities of
the City, as financier/owner, and the Commission, as developer/manager, for development of the
Aviation Commerce Park (hereinafter "ACP"), a tract of approximately 54 acres owned in fee by
the City and managed and controlled by the Airport Commission.
WHEREAS, the Airport Commission desires to develop approximately 54 acres of northern
airport property to establish seventeen commerciaFindustrial lots and two outlots; and
WHEREAS, certain infrastructure needs to be constructed and installed to support said
commercial/industrial development, the costs of which exceed the annual operations budget of
the Airport Commission; and
WHEREAS, the City finds it in the public interest to support this commercial/industrial
development in an effort to bolster the City's tax base and enable the Commission to become
financially self-sufficient from City property tax supported subsidies and general fund; and
WHEREAS, the City and the Airport Commission have negotiated an agreement under which
the City will provide the Commission with funds for installation of the required infrastructure
and the Commission will reimburse the City from airport revenue realized from the
commerciaFindustrial development; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to memorialize the terms and conditions of said financing
arrangement in a written agreement.
NOW, IT IS THEREFORE AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Purpose The purpose of this agreement is to support commercial/industrial development,
bolster the City's tax base, and enable the Commission to become financially self-sufficient of
the City's property tax supported general fund through the development of the Aviation
Commerce Park. To effectuate the terms of this agreement and facilitate the project, the City
agrees to provide financial accounting and distribution services on behalf of the Commission
without charge.
2. Total Project Cost: Estimated and Final "Total Project Cost" is defined as all quantifiable
costs directly attributed to development of the Aviation Commerce Park, which includes the
costs of: drainage improvements, attorney fees, landfill tipping fees, design fees, debt service
principle, interest and fees, improvement construction, improvement inspection, construction
contract administration, project design fees (current and expected), and marketing fees.
Estimated Total Project Cost is currently approximately $2,448,748.40 ($1,600,000 principal
and $848,748.40 interest). The parties contemplate that the Estimated Total Project Cost will
increase or decrease depending on fluctuations in the cost variables outlined above. Final Total
Project Cost shall be established by certification of all project billings to the project account by
the Iowa City Finance Department. Any dispute regarding the Final Total Project Cost shall be
resolved by third party financial audit, said third party to be agreed upon by City and
Commission. Final reconciliation and balancing of accounts between the parities shall be based
on the certified Final Total Project Cost.
3. Acceptance and Maintenance of infrastructure. Upon completion of the construction and
installation of the public improvements included within the Aviation Commerce Park to City
engineering design standards, the City will accept said public improvements as part of the City' s
public infrastructure. After acceptance of said public improvements, the City shall maintain said
public improvements as part of the public infrastructure, shall provide repair and replacement of
water and sewer mains, as necessary, and shall provide snow removal and routine maintenance
on public streets, as necessary. The Commission shall not be assessed or charged for the costs of
these services.
4. Leasin~ and Marketing: Raw Minimum Lease Rate and Market Minimum Lease Rate. The
"Raw Minimum Lease Rate" for each lot is defined as the estimated total cost of the project
amortized over twenty years and divided by the number of acres in each lot, or fourteen cents
($.14) per square foot. The Raw Minimum Lease Rate shall be adjusted in relation to the range
of existing commemial lease rates within Iowa City to establish the Market Minimum Lease Rate
for each of the lots within the Aviation Commerce Park. The Market Minimum Lease Rate for
each lot within the development shall be established by a letter of agreement between the
Commission and City Council, which agreement shall be negotiated and executed on behalf of
each entity by the Airport Manager and City Manager, respectively. Said letter of agreement
shall be reviewed, at minimum, on an annual basis by the Airport Manager and City Manager to
ensure the Market Minimum Lease Rate is competitive within the range of current commercial
lease rates and no less than current commercial lease rates. The letter of agreement establishing
the Market Minimum Lease Rate for each lot in the development may be amended by subsequent
letters of agreement executed by the Airport Manager and City Manager. The Airport Manager
and City Manager are hereby authorized and directed to negotiate and execute said letters of
agreement as contemplated above.
All leases and/or other agreements regarding lots within the ACP shall be negotiated by the
Commission's marketing agent, the Commission and the prospective Tenant. However, all
leases for lots within the ACP shall contain the following clause:
a. Lessee's interest under this lease shall terminate and all payments hereunder shall be
forfeited if Lessee does not complete construction of [the required minimum
improvements] within five (5) years of the date of execution of this lease agreement.
Lessor shall effectuate forfeiture of this lease by delivery of written notice of
forfeiture to the Lessee at the Lessee's address as noted herein by either personal
delivery to the party to whom the notice is directed or if sent by certified mail,
postage prepaid, return receipt requested to the Lessee's address as contained herein.
5. RepaWnent of Final Total Project Cost: Distribution of Revenue Beginning with the date of
execution of this agreement, all lease payments and/or other revenues received by the
Commission from the lots within the ACP shall be paid to City on a payment schedule amortized
over twenty (20) years until the Final Total Project Cost is repaid. See Exhibit "A" for a sample
repayment schedule assuming a Total Project Cost of $2,448,748.40. Minimum required yearly
payments shall be calculated per the same assumptions indicated on the sample repayment
schedule, Exhibit "A", (i.e. $1,600,000 loan at 4.4848% with debt retirement on twentieth year).
If the Commission, during each fiscal year it is due, does not make the entire annual payment to
City, any shortfall under said schedule shall be carded over to the next fiscal year, and minimum
payments shall be adjusted accordingly for interest accruing on such shortfall. After payment of
any shortfall, plus interest, due under the repayment schedule for prior years, plus payment of the
minimum payment due for the current fiscal year, any lease payments and/or other revenues
received by the Commission from the lots within the ACP shall be credited to the Commission
for its use. For the purposes of this agreement, a fiscal year shall be defined as July 1 through
June 30th, or any part thereof, after the date of the execution of this agreement by either party.
The parties acknowledge and agree that the sums outlined in Exhibit "A" are illustrative only, as
said sums are subject to change based on certification of the Final Total Project Cost per
paragraph 2 above and the rate of debt repayment by Commission. The intent of this paragraph
is that the Commission will maintain repayments consistent with a twenty (20) year debt
retirement schedule prior to realizing any revenues from the ACP for its use. Nothing in this
agreement shall prevent the Commission from making advance payments and/or retiring said
debt prior to the passage of twenty (20) years. After final reconciliation and repayment of the
Final Total Project Cost to City, all lease payments and/or revenues received by the Commission
from the lots within the ACP shall be credited to the Commission for its use.
6. Outstanding Debt/Termination of Agreement Any and all debt outstanding under the terms of
this agreement shall be a continuing and perpetual obligation on the part of the Commission until
fully repaid to and released by City. Upon full repayment of all debt outstanding under the terms
of this agreement, all rights, responsibilities, or obligations of either party hereunder shall expire,
and this agreement shall be terminated.
7. Notices and Demands. Notices, requests, demands and other communications shall be in
writing and will be deemed sufficiently given for all purposes hereunder if (a) delivered

Requested Action: Final Plat approval
Purpose: To permit a 3-lot residential subdivision with two
outlots
Location: West of Scott Boulevard, south of Village Road
Size: 9.54 acres

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, 3~d Street Partners cJo Frantz Construction, is requesting final plat approval of
Village Green Part XVIII, a 3-lot with 2 outlots, 9.54 acre residential subdivision located south of
Village Road and west of Scott Boulevard. The preliminary plat for Village Green Parts XVIII-XX
was approved in July 2000. The design is of plat is similar to the existing condominium
development on the north side of Village Road. The condominium units are proposed to be
clustered around private streets that T-into Village Road, backing onto a proposed pond.
2
ANALYSIS:
Conformance with preliminary plat and OPDH plan: The preliminary plat and Planned
Development Housing Overlay (OPDH) plan showed 27 condominium units proposed for Part
XVIII. The final plat is in general conformance with the approved preliminary plat. There are
minor changes proposed to the alignment of Baldwin Lane (terminating in an L-shape instead of a
straight dead-end) and to the pattern of units along Clifford Lane (4 three-plexes instead of 1 four-
plex, 2 three-plexes and one duplex). Staff finds these changes to be minor, and in the case of
Baldwin Lane, a slight improvement to the design. The total number of units in each lot and the
overall design have not changed.
Sensitive Areas: There are hydric soils that have been identified on the Sensitive Areas site plan
that accompanied the preliminary plat. The legal papers will need to reference the need for
subsudace drainage systems for roads, the need for sump pumps, and specifications for the
discharge of roof drains and downspouts in areas of hydric soils.
Storm water management: Storm water management requirements have been satisfied with
previous parts of Village Green. However, the proposed pond will improve storm water
management in the area by providing an additional area for water to aerate and for sediments to
settle out of the water.
Utilities: A water main tap-on fee is required at a rate of $395/acre. A sanitary sewer tap-on fee
is required at a rate of $1,698.18/acre for the portion of the property for which sanitary sewer fees
have not yet been paid, previously occupied by Village Green South. These fees go toward off-
setting the cost to the City to provide water and sewer main extensions to the area.
Sanitary sewer: When the preliminary plat for Village Green XVIII-XX was evaluated, the staff
report noted there is an 8" sanitary sewer line in the area of the proposed pond, that would need
to be relocated to allow for the pond. The sewer line will eventually be relocated within the
proposed Wintergreen Drive right-of-way, and will be upgraded to 12" to accommodate this
development. The platting of Village Green XVIII by itself will not encroach into the existing sewer
line, and the sewer line will not be required to be relocated. However, prior to development
occurring on Parts XIX and XX of Village Green, the 8" sewer line will need to be relocated and
upgraded.
Open Space: The open space requirements for the entire Village Green and Village Green South
neighborhood have been satisfied with previous plats. No new public open space is being
proposed, and no fees are required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB01-0010, Village Green Part XVIII, a 9.54 acre, 3-lot subdivision with
2 outlots, be approved, subject to approval of legal papers and construction plans prior to City
Council consideration.

Date: July 27, 2001
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Robert Miklo
Re: SUB01-00011 Saltzman Subdivision
The issue regarding the sanitary sewer easement under the building has been resolved (see
attached memo from the Mitch Behr. Staff has found that there is a recorded easement, which
gives the City rights to repair the line. The existing easement should be noted on the plat.
Staff continues to recommend that the curb cut for lot 2, which contains the Ground Round
Restaurant, be closed in the event that that property ever redevelops. The property would then
have access from the shared driveway directly north of the property line. As long as the current
building remains the existing curb cut could remain open. To accomplish this the access
easement located on lot 1 should allow access between Riverside Drive and lot 2. We believe
that this is a means of improving a dangerous traffic situation without burdening the existing
business. Staff and the applicant are discussing alternative means of accomplishing this
objective. We hope to have an agreement reached by the August 2 Planning and Zoning
Commission meeting.
In absence of an agreement regarding future access to lot 2 staff recommends denial of the
subdivision. If we can reach agreement regarding future access to lot 2, staff recommends
a?pro~al of t~e Saltzma Subdivision, a 2.8-acre, 3-lot commercial subdivision located east of

FROM: Mitchel T. Behr, Assistant City Attorney
RE: SUB01-00011, Saltzman Subdivision
At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of July 19, 2001, Staff recommended
approval of the subdivision subject to three conditions, the first of which provides as
follows:
Inclusion of language in the legal papers requiring owner of the building occupied
currently by the Ground Round assume responsibility for the repair of any sewer
line breaks and malfunctions that take place under said buildings.
Further investigation has been made into the basis for this recommendation. It has been
determined that the City does have a valid, recorded easement for the sewer line
underneath the building occupied currently by the Ground Round, which places all
property owners on notice thereof. Therefore, a note on the plat indicating the existence
of the sewer line and easement will be sufficient, and it will not be necessary to include
specific language in this regard in the legal papers.

MEMORANDUM
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: John Adam, Planning Intern
Date: July 12, 2001
Re: SUB01-00011, Saltzman Subdivision
At the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting of July 5, 2001 commissioners
voiced questions and concerns about the reduction of curb cuts onto South
Riverside Drive and the requirement of a trail easement as a condition of
subdivision approval. Staff discussed these issues and came to the following
conclusions:
1 ) The existing Ground Round Restaurant access point onto Riverside Drive is
too close to Sturgis Corner Drive (there are only 25 feet between them).
This results in a traffic situation that contributes to the higher than average
collision rate in this block. Two access point this close together along an
arterial street create an obvious traffic safety issue that would not be
approved a part of a new development. Ideally the existing curb cut for the
Ground Round would be eliminated. However, the current orientation of the
Ground Round restaurant building and the building's entrance makes it
irnpractical to eliminate its entrance onto South Riverside at this time.
This situation is directly addressed by the City's Comprehensive Plan, which
states "...as properties redevelop along Riverside Drive there will be
opportunities to combine vehicular access points and close existing curb
cuts to minimize side friction on Riverside Drive." Any future redevetopment
of the Ground Round site will provide the opportunity to achieve compliance
with the Comprehensive Plan and the City's policy regarding curb cut
locations by removing the existing curb cut. Further, while this subdivision
plat creates three separate lots, one of which is yet undeveloped, the plat
includes an access easement sufficient to provide access to all lots through
a shared single means. Staff recommends that as a condition of approval, a
note be included on the preliminary and final plat stating, "Upon
redevelopment of Lot 2 the curb cut onto South Riverside Drive shall be
eliminated and sole ingress/egress to Saltzman Subdivision shah be via the
utility and access easement contiguous with the southern boundary of
Lot 1 ."
This condition would require the closure of the curb cut only if the existing
building were removed and the lot redeveloped. As long as the existing
building stands the existing curb cut may remain open. Staff asked the
owner if he would agree to this condition and he indicated that he would not.
Staff does not recommend approving this plat until this issue is resolved.
2) Commissioners asked whether or not we could require a trail easement
before approving the plat. Staff discussion regarding the trail easement
focused on establishing an essential nexus between approval of the plat
and if there was any need created by this subdivision for a trail easement. In
a Supreme Court case that involved dedication of a trail easement (Dolan v.
City of Tigard, 1994) the Court found that no such nexus existed between
the plaintiff's application for a building permit and the condition of easement
dedication. Similarly, as this subdivision does not by itself create a
heightened need for such an easement, or intensify the uses presently on
site, there is no connection between the dedication of an easement and
subdivision approval. While the City has envisioned a trail system running
along both sides of the Iowa River, no construction plans for a westside trail
south of Benton Street have been drafted, therefore the exact siting and
orientation of the easement is unknown. In addition, the westside extension
is unfunded and will probably remain so for several years to come.
Therefore staff does not recommend that a trail easement be required.
After the correction to the second deficiency and discrepancy noted in the
original Staff Report (the eastward extension of the sewer line off the property
was not noted) another related deficiency was discovered. A southern extension
of the sewer line passing through Lot 2 does not have a utility easement on
record. Said line passes under a part of the Ground Round Restaurant. The plat
should include an easement over this existing sewer line. Staff recommends that
language be added to the legal papers for this subdivision requiring the owner of
the property owner take responsibility for the repair of any sewer line breaks or
malfunctions occurring underneath the building where City crews cannot get to
them.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary and final plat for Saltzman Subdivision, a
three-lot, 2.80-acre commercial subdivision, be approved subject to:
1 ) The inclusion of a note on both plats and in legal papers stating: "Upon
redevelopment of Lot 2 the curb cut onto South Riverside Drive shall be
eliminated and sole ingress/egress to Saltzman Subdivision shall be via the
utility and access easement contiguous with the southern boundary of Lot 1 ;"
2) Inclusion of language in the legal papers requiring owner of the building
occupied currently by the Ground Round assume responsibility for the repair
of any sewer line breaks and realfunctions take place under said building;
and
3) Approval of the legal papers for this subdivision.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Saltzman Enterprises, is requesting a preliminary and final plat of Saltzman
Subdivision, a resubdivision of Sturgis Corner Addition, Lot 2 plus two lots with boundaries
contiguous with Sturgis Corner Addition. The proposed subdivision is an approximately 2.80-acre,
three-lot commercial subdivision located south of Benton Street on the east side of South
Riverside Drive. Lots 1 and 2 have already been developed. No development has been proposed
or indicated for Lot 3.
ANALYSIS:
Preliminary Plat: The proposed preliminary plat appears to be in general conformance with the
City's subdivision regulations. However, Staff recommends deferral until the deficiencies noted
at the end of this report have been corrected. The proposed plat would add a third lot east of
(behind) two existing lots fronting on South Riverside, said lots currently occupied by Payless
Shoesource and The Ground Round Restaurant at 820 and 830 S. Riverside, respectively. This
plat captures the remainder of Sturgis Corner Addition, Lot 2 (SUB77-0003), left over from the
subsequent resubdivision of Sturgis Corner, platted later in the same year (SUB77-0029).
Fudhermore, the proposed plat would extend the lot occupied by Ground Round eastward by
approximately 78 feet and extend Payless Shoesource's lot eastward by approximately 176 feet
and southward by 25 feet.
Final Plat: The proposed final plat appears to be in general compliance with the City's
subdivision regulations. It will have to be modified prior to approval to reflect changes outlined
for the preliminary plat.
Comprehensive Plan: The aesthetic and traffic-related issues associated with strip
development are of concern along South Riverside Drive. The subdivision of this property
provides an opportunity to address those concerns by reducing the number of vehicular access
points. Staff discussed the possibility but, given the location of the existing buildings, could not
find a reasonable way to consolidate the entryways.
The preliminary plat does not indicate public access or frontage for Lot 3, which would inhibit
emergency vehicle access to the lot and may deter development of it. The only area in which it
would be possible to place a road is the 25-foot access easement running through and
bounding the southern edge of Lot 1. It is wide enough to allow a private access easement
through the parking lots. If Lot 3 is developed a storage shed belonging to Ground Round is
located within the easement and will have to be removed.
The Comprehensive Plan recommends that redevelopment along S. Riverside Dr. be
encouraged in a manner that avoids further low-density strip development as a means of
discouraging sprawl. Aside from these concerns, the subdivision, as platted, is not incompatible
with the other commercial uses in the surrounding area.
Sensitive areas and flood plain: The 100-year flood plain extends over a portion of Lot 3, as
indicated on the plat. No grading is being proposed in conjunction with this plat. A sensitive
areas site plan will be required for any development on Lot 3 because that property is within the
Iowa River Corridor. A 50-foot stream corridor buffer zone required by the Sensitive Areas
Ordinance is shown on the plat.
Archaeological sites: The area described by this plat was once part of a landfill; although the
site has no archaeological significance, anyone who wishes to build on Lot 3 may need to use
special construction techniques to make the land suitable for foundations.
3
Open space: The City may be interested in obtaining an easement within the 50-foot stream
corridor buffer zone for the purposes of extending the Iowa River Corridor Trail along the west
side of the river. Currently, the trail crosses from the west to the east side at Benton Street and
arcs away from the river through city streets before rejoining it at Highway 6. The original Sturgis
Corner Addition included an agreement between the City and the developers that the developers
would build a 6-foot-wide asphaltic concrete trail along the river from Highway 6 northwards to a
point approximately 160 feet south of the southern edge of the current Saltzman Subdivision. That
agreement was later voided. Because the long-term objective is to have the Iowa River Corridor
Trail run down both sides of the river, the City has asked applicant to grant an easement for future
trail extensions.
Sewer and water: Water and sanitary sewer service are already available and operating at the
two existing commercial locations. A trunk sewer line passes through Lot 3 on its way to the North
Wastewater Treatment Plant. Water lines would need to be extended to Lot 3 in the event a
building is ever constructed. A water main extension fee of $363 for Lot 3 will be required. In
addition, the Fire Department noted that any building development on Lot 3 would require the
installation of on-site fire hydrants.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB01-00011 be deferred pending the resolution of the deficiencies and
discrepancies listed below. Upon resolution of these items, staff recommends that the request for
a preliminary and final plat of Saltzman Subdivision, a 2.80-acre, 3-lot commercial subdivision
located in the 800 Block of South Riverside Drive, south of Benton Street, be approved.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The length and bearing of the east boundary is not noted in the legal description, except
by inferred relation to the "Reference Line."
2. The sanitary sewer line does not show an eastward extension off of the property.
3. A note on the plat should be included stating that the storage shed belonging to the
Ground Round will need to be removed from the utility easement prior to any construction
on Lot 3.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
August 21,200
FROM: t n ~pection Services
RE: Council agenda item conccning budget ns in the Housing Authority
The resolution before the City Council does not increase the total number of budgeted
positions in the Housing Authority, It replaces (reclassifies) one half-time Maintenance
Worker II with one half-time Housing Assistant position. This request is made after careful
consideration of how best to sere our clients in the areas of public housing maintenance and
office se~ices.
Last year, the promotion of the Maintenance Worker II employee to Housing Inspector
provided the oppodunity for the Housing Authority to determine whether or not public housing
maintenance could be improved through a contract with a maintenance company. Since
October, 2000, the Housing Authority has used an on-call maintenance company, and the
results are very positive. Outsourcing of public housing maintenance has reduced turn-
around time to prepare vacant units for new occupancy; improved response time to tenant
maintenance requests; reduced labor costs (approximately $20,000); and improved tenant
perception about quality of service. Based on these results, the staff of the Housing Authority
would not recommend filling the one half-time Maintenance Worker II position.
The other area of service evaluated by the Housing Authority staff was in office services
(e.g., responding to client over-the-counter requests). Since the Housing Authority moved to
the Civic Center, its visibility and accessibility to clients have greatly improved, and so have
the number of clients choosing to "walk in" to request service. This past year, part-time
temporary help was employed to address this increase in walk-in traffic. The use of
temporary help allowed the Housing Authority time to assess whether or not the increased
numbers of clients walking in would abate over time. The increase in "walk in" traffic has not
abated. A permanent pad-time Housing Assistant position would improve the quality of office
services the Housing Authority can offer while reducing the need to hire temporary
employees.
Thank you for consideration of this matter.
