STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepared by: Sarah Walz
Item: SUBZ09-00009 Date: November 19, 2009
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Applicant: DASH Properties
911 E. Market Street
Iowa City, IA 52245
Contact Person: Doug Alberhasky
Phone: 319-331-8764
doug(a~iohnsgrocery.com
Requested Action: Preliminary and Final Plat
Purpose: To divide property into two lots.
Location: 1136 East Washington
Size: 3.92 acres
Existing Land Use and Zoning: Single-family Residential (RS-5)
Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North:Residential (RS-5)
South:Residential (RS-8)
East:Residential (RS-5)
West:Residential (RS-8)
Comprehensive Plan: Potential Public Open Space
Neighborhood Open Space District: City High Open Space District
File Date: October 15, 2009 (Legal papers must be
filed to complete application)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant has requested a re-subdivision of two properties located on East Jefferson and East
Washington Streets that would result in two new lots. Lot 1, a 2.33 acre lot, would contain the
existing house and maintain the required 60-foot lot width along East Washington Street and have
vehicle access provided along an existing private drive (Ruliffson Drive). The second lot,
designated as Outlot A (private open space) would combine a .21 acre lot fronting on Jefferson
Street with 1.38 acres of land that is currently part of the Washington Street property. This outlot
would have frontage along Jefferson Street.
2
ANALYSIS:
Zoning and Sensitive Areas: The zoning code allows development of this property for single-
family uses. The applicant is proposing two lots: Lot 1 containing the existing house, and Outlot A
for private open space. If the property designated as outlot was instead proposed as a
developable lot, it would be subject to the sensitive areas ordinance, which would trigger a
sensitive areas site plan. However, because the lot has been designated as an outlot, it is not
considered developable and is not required to go through this level of review as part of this
subdivision review. However, if the owner, or a future owner, of the outlot decides to develop the
open space property, a new subdivision would be required in order to change the lot designation.
At that point a sensitive areas development plan would be required for the site.
Both lots contain sensitive features, including wooded wetlands, floodway and floodplain. The
Johnson County Soil and Water Conservation District (JCSW) has submitted a letter concerning
the development potential of this property (see attached). JCSW advises that no or minimal
development and/or structures be allowed in the floodplain and that the soil in this area is
susceptible to erosion and not appropriate for development. The letter also notes that these
woodlands may provide habitat for an endangered species-the Indiana Bat. Because the outlot
is located almost entirely in the floodway, its development potential is extremely limited.
Access: The proposed subdivision divides the land so that each lot has property on both sides
of the Ralston Creek. The stream banks along the northern branch of the creek are quite deep
and steep and therefore not easily crossable. In order for both property owners to be able to
maintain their land, staff recommends access easements such that the owner of Outlot A can
access land south of the creek from a portion of Lot 1 west of the private drive, and so that the
owner of Lot 1 can access land north of the creek from Outlot A along Jefferson Street. The
current plat does not provide such easements. The easements should also be included in the
legal documents for the subdivision.
Compliance with Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan encourages acquisition of
stream banks and floodplains of Ralston Creek for incorporation into the public open space
system. Because there is a deficit of public open space in the Central Planning District, and
because land along the creek is desired as public open space or for trail connections, the
Central District Plan identifies this area as potential public open space. Approval of this
subdivision will not preclude the future purchase of this property if the Parks and Recreation
Commission wishes to acquire it.
Compatibility with neighborhood: Because the applicant is not proposing any new
development at this time, the subdivision is considered compatible with the neighborhood.
Neighborhood parkland or fees in lieu of: Based on the Neighborhood Open Space
Ordinance, the dedication requirement is approximately 0.085 acres (3,703 square feet).
Although Outlot A is proposed as open space, its intended use is not for the surrounding
property owners or neighborhood. Because there are no public parks or trail system in this
vicinity the dedication of such a small area of parkland would not be appropriate, therefore
staff recommends fees in lieu of land dedication. The Parks and Recreation Commission will
review the subdivision.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that this application be deferred until the deficiencies and discrepancies are
addressed. Upon correction of deficiencies and discrepancies staff recommends approval of
SUB09-00009 .
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Legal papers must be submitted.
2. Access easements should be in place such that the owner of Outlot A can access land south
of Ralston Creek from a portion of Lot 1 west of the private drive, and so that the owner of
Lot 1 can access land north of the creek from Outlot A along Jefferson Street.

Dear Mr. Miklo,
In the following letter are Johnson County SWCD comments regarding the Hunter's Hideaway, First Addition. These
comments will assist with potential environmental impacts to avoid, resulting from the proposed project.
Hunter's Hideaway is located in the floodplain. It is advised that no or minimal development and/or structures be
allowed in the floodplain. Structures are not suitable for this particular soil type and should be limited. The Johnson
County Soil Surrey indicates soils for this area are associated with small streams and drainage ways, this soil is
subject to flooding (11 B Colo-Ely). There are also two soils on site that consist of excessive slopes and are subject
to moderate erosion. (163C & 163D2 Fayette & Downs Silt Loam)
Some other considerations:
1. USFWS may need to be contacted before any tree removal, due to potential critical habitat for the
endangered species, Indiana Bat.
2. The project may have potential archaeological sites.
3. Are sewer utilities available on site or will landowners need separate septic's or updates? Maybe the
Health Department may be of assistance.
Please contact me by the below information for any questions.
Sincerely,
Kate Giannini

MEMORANDUM -,~
Date: 9 December 2009
To: City Council
From: Steve Long, Community Development Coordinator
Sarah Walz, Associate Planner
RE: UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership-I-Jobs grant
This fall the City of Iowa City was awarded a $1 million I-Jobs grant to jumpstart the
UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership program by funding the renovation of rental
properties into affordable, single-family, owner-occupied housing. The properties selected
must be located in designated neighborhoods adjacent to the University of Iowa Campus.
Council has previously accepted the funds and authorized the City Manager to sign the
grant agreement.
On the agenda is a proposed resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Manager to sign all
documents necessary to acquire and rehabilitate the homes. The subsequent sales to the
homebuyers will proceed through City Council as required by State law. This
memorandum is to provide you with additional information about the acquisition,
rehabilitation, and sale processes.
The proposed program will allow the City to acquire properties with financing from local
lenders: First American Bank, Hills Bank, Midwest One Bank, and the University of Iowa
Community Credit Union. In total these local lenders will provide more than $3 million in
financing to purchase these homes. I-jobs funds will pay for up to $50,000 in renovations
per house, with one hundred percent of this money going to renovation costs-no
administrative fees.
Once renovations are complete, the homes will be sold as affordable housing to
households that meet income guidelines and pre-qualify fora mortgage. Household
incomes and employment status will be verified by City staff. Priority will be given to
homebuyers who work within the designated neighborhoods or those who work in the
Downtown area, North Market Square, Mercy Hospital, or the Near Southside and
Riverfront Crossing development areas, or on campus (including University Hospitals or
VA). Applicants who work at Mann or Longfellow Elementary Schools are also given
priority. The opportunity to purchase specific homes will be determined through a lottery
process.
Homebuyers who are selected to purchase one of the homes rehabbed will pay the original
acquisition price plus loan and carrying costs, including interest for time property is held in
City ownership, recording fee for the mortgage, mowing and snow removal, utilities, real
estate taxes, and insurance. This is not anticipated to exceed $3,500.
The cost of renovations will NOT be passed on to homebuyers so long as the homebuyer
retains ownership of the property as their primary residence for 5 years. Homebuyers will
be required to sign a resale agreement to ensure that the property remains owner occupied

and affordable for a minimum of 10 years.
University faculty and staff who qualify and who are selected to purchase a home through
this program may also be eligible for downpayment assistance and closing costs (funding
provided by the University of Iowa).
In addition the UniverCity homebuyer incentives may be combined with other programs and
incentives including the Federal Homebuyer Tax Credit.
The next step in the process is to identify and purchase properties for the program.
To qualify for the program, properties must be located within the designated UniverCity
Neighborhoods (see eastside and Westside maps), must have a current rental permit, must
be priced under $200,000, and must be in a condition that can be addressed within the
$50,000 rehab budget. City staff will administer the program and provide recommendations
and oversight on the home renovation process. Prospective properties will be screened by
the City's Housing Rehabilitation staff who will provide an evaluation and budget estimate
for improvements necessary to make the house saleable for single-family housing.
Additional review and assistance in the property selection process will be provided by the
UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Committee, which consists of representatives of the
Iowa Area Association of Realtors, the Homebuilders Association of Iowa City, the
University of Iowa, designated neighborhood associations, a participating lender, the
Friends of Historic Preservation, and an affordable housing agency. The committee will
review recommendations from staff (including rehab estimates) and give consideration to
properties that are likely to have an impact on the block and neighborhood in which they
are located and properties that are likely to be desirable as owner-occupied over the long-
term. Staff recommendations and committee selections will be forwarded to the City
Manager, who will have the final say in approving property acquisitions.
The City will purchase the properties with a loan from one of the local lenders listed above,
and the City will give the lender a mortgage on the property. The lender will charge the City
interest below the prime rate. Once purchased, City staff will open a competitive bidding
process for contractors to complete home renovations as prioritized by City Housing
Rehabilitation staff. Renovations must be completed within 8 to 12 weeks and will be
inspected by staff.
Staff are already beginning to identify and evaluate properties that qualify for the program.
The first round of property purchases and renovations will get underway in January, with
homes available for re-sale as early as March.
The program has already generated a great deal of interest from realtors, landlords,
renters, and neighborhood residents. We have set up a website www.icgov.orq/UniverCity
to provide a description of the program and to provide information for those interested in
selling properties as well as potential homebuyers and contractors. We will begin working
with the University and other organizations to promote the homeownership opportunities in
the coming weeks.
