To the Iowa City City Council
concerning the
Proposed Roundabout at the West End of Grand Avenue
This is a request from the Melrose Neighborhood for a continuance of the Public Hearing set for
April 18 on the proposed roundabout at the west end of Grand Avenue, so that any resolution on
the issue can be deferred.
This project is an amendment of the recently instituted modified one-way system involving
Melrose Avenue, Byington, Grand Avenue and South Grand. The Melrose Neighborhood was
an integral part of establishing that system through a Traffic Study authorized by the City
Council and the Neighborhood's representation at the meetings to develop the system was
sanctioned by that Council. However, the Neighborhood was not informed of this current
amendment and only discovered its existence after other participants ofthe Study (the University
of Iowa and the City) had already been in discussions to develop the roundabout.
Though the Neighborhood representative has recently had some discussions with the City
concerning the roundabout, there has not been sufficient time to adequately discuss this topic
with the Neighborhood or to inform people who would be affected by the proposed roundabout
on a daily basis (e.g., the faculty and staff at the VI Law Building, who were kept informed of
the modified one-way system during the Traffic Study). In addition, because we have not been
privy to the meetings concerning this roundabout, we are not completely clear as to how it would
be of benefit.
Members of the Neighborhood who are aware of the proposed roundabout are not convinced that
it is necessary and are concerned that, instead of helping with traffic in the area, it will be
detrimental to traffic flow for the vast majority of people using Grand A venue and the modified
one-way system.
The roundabout was proposed to:
1. Control an intersection that is currently confusing to the vehicular general public.
2. To add pedestrian refuge and crosswalks to a high capacity pedestrian location.
3. Slow down vehicular traffic, while maintaining constant flow, in order to make for a safer
area for pedestrians and students.
4. Provide an escape route for those vehicles who want to go east from South Grand and instead
of driving south to Melrose to accomplish this, have driven north on South Grand hoping to go
east on Grand on a lane that is restricted to authorized vehicles only.
5. Aesthetically improve the City right-of-way and University campus in this highly visible
location.
The Neighborhood's response to this summary (on the information that it has) is that<1Dere is I,19t
e_ :~')
enough room at the intersection of Grand and South Grand. Roundabouts are most ~ve 2~

when they consist of two lanes. The proposed roundabout has only one lane., ':;::-; '};;

i(}
Further the constriction of the two westbound lanes of Grand Avenue into one lane at the
roundabout would interfere considerably with the traffic on Grand Avenue, which is part of a
major east-west arterial for Iowa City and one of only a few arterials in this direction. A preview
of such disruption was seen recently when the east end of Grand was restricted to one lane due to
construction by the University.
Alternative ways of slowing traffic, other than creating a traffic jam in the main arterial, should
be explored. The same applies for aesthetic improvements - which would be a good idea and
would be very welcome.
Pedestrian refuge and crosswalks can still be added at Grand and Pharmacy Road without adding
a roundabout.
The major traffic at the proposed roundabout site is that going west from Grand A venue to South
Grand. The vast majority (all but authorized vehicles) of traffic from the north part of South
Grand ("Pharmacy Road") is going south on South Grand and easily filters into traffic. Yields
signals would clarify the situation.
Without going into details, a solution for much ofthe remaining traffic confusion (from the
traffic going north on South Grand to Pharmacy Road and attempting to turn east on Grand)
could be solved by making South Grand either one-way for emergency vehicles only or for
making it completely one-way and having emergency vehicles turn north either on Grand
Avenue Court or on Byington. Consideration of one of these alternatives should be given very
serious consideration, as increased traffic is generated from the expansion of Ramp 4. Already,
cars from that ramp are attempting to turn left on South Grand to go east on Grand. If South
Grand was one-way, this traffic snarl would be avoided.
In conclusion, at the least, this issue should be discussed further before it is considered for
implementation. In addition, if any improvement is to be made, it would appear to be
advantageous not to implement it at this time when there are so many other construction projects
in the area, such as the ramp 4 expansion and the imminent chilled water project, both of which
affect pedestrian and vehicular traffic on South Grand Avenue and on Melrose Avenue.
Therefore, the Neighborhood requests that there be a continuance of the Public Hearing set for
April 18 on the proposed roundabout, at least until after April 28, as the Neighborhood
Representative who was involved in the development ofthe modified one-way system, of which
this roundabout is an amendment, will be unavailable until then.
Thank you,
Jean Walker
Melrose Neighborhood Representative

Sanitary Sewer can be extended from the
Lindemann property to the east.
The City will provide Police and Fire protection, and
2
refuse collection and recycling services. Transit
route Eastside Loop and Rochester serve this area
with the nearest stop located approximately half a
mile north-west on the intersection of Amhurst
Street and Lower West Branch Road.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Douglas Schnoebelen, is requesting approval for a 4-lot, single-family residential
subdivision, on approximately 2.61 acres of land located on Hummingbird Lane, south of Lower
West Branch Road. The land is part of a previously subdivided Hoyle's First Addition.
ANALYSIS:
Comprehensive Plan:
The property is located within the Northeast Planning District. Although this particular property is
not discussed in detail in the Comprehensive Plan, most of the surrounding area is indicated as
appropriate for low density residential development. The proposed lot sizes meet the standards
for the minimum lot size of 8,000 square feet and minimum width of 60 feet for the RS-5 zone.
The proposed lot widths range from approximately 77.9 feet to 138.3 feet with lot areas ranging
from approximately 14,416 square feet to 41,934 square feet. In staffs view, the proposed
design is compatible with the surrounding low density single-family residential neighborhood.
Therefore the proposed subdivision is consistent with the district plan.
Traffic/Access:
The proposed subdivision will be accessible from Hummingbird Lane on the west and Lower West
Branch Road on the north. The Capital Improvement Plan indicates that the Lower West Branch
Road will be reconstructed in 2008. A 30-foot wide temporary construction easement along Lower
West Branch Road and a 25-foot wide temporary construction easement along Hummingbird
Lane are required.
The portion of Hummingbird Lane adjacent to the proposed subdivision is currently narrow and
consists of a chip seal surface with no curb and gutter or sidewalks. The right-of-way has already
been dedicated but the road requires improvements up to City street standards. The estimated
cost for improving Hummingbird Lane is $250.00 per linear foot. As the proposed development is
only on one side of Hummingbird Lane, this amount is divided by two and the resulting $125.00
per linear foot is applied to the Schnoebelen Subdivision. Since the property has 328.29 linear
feet abutting Hummingbird Lane, the total cost is $41,036.25 (328.29 x $125.00 per linear foot).
This amounts to $15,722.70 per acre for this 2.61-acre property. The legal papers should
specify that payments will be made at the time building permits are issued for each lot.
Neighborhood Parkland:
The property is part of the Upper Ralston Creek Neighborhood Open Space District (NE3).
Based on the Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance, a subdivision of this size is required to
dedicate 0.061 acres (2,671.47 square feet) of open space or pay fees in lieu of dedication. The
plat has been referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission for review. Given the location
and the size of the property, it is likely that the fees in lieu of the land dedication will be
recommended by the commission. The legal papers should address payment of fees in lieu of
open space dedication.
Infrastructure:
Sanitary sewer lines will need to be extended to this subdivision from the existing line located on
the Lindemann property to the east. The applicant is required to extend the sanitary sewer line to
the existing residential lot in the Hoyles First Subdivision. The applicant also is required to pay
ppdadmin\stfrep\sub06-00004 schnoebelen-prelim&fina!, doc
3
sanitary sewer tap-on fees of $1 ,038.26 per acre (a total of $2,709.86 for 2.61 acres) and water
main extension fees of $395.00 per acre (a total of $1,030.95 for 2.61 acres). Storm water
management is not required for subdivisions that are less than 3 acres in size.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends deferral of this item until the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below are
resolved.
Upon resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends that SUB05-00028, a
preliminary and final plat for Schnoebelen Subdivision, a 4-lot residential subdivision, on
approximately 2.61 acres of land, located east of Hummingbird Lane, south of Lower Branch
Road, be approved subject to staff approval of legal papers and construction drawings prior to
Council consideration.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. Show a 30-foot wide temporary construction easement along Lower West Branch Road and a
25-foot wide temporary construction easement along Hummingbird Lane.
2. Extend the sanitary sewer line to Lot #1 in Hoyles First Subdivision

MEMORANDUM
~
L..1LJ
Date: April 13, 2006
To: City Council and City Manager
From: Ron Knoche, City Engineer ~
Re: Iowa Highway 1/US Highway 218 Ramp Signalization & Iowa Highway 1/Kitty
Lee Road Right Turn Lane Project
Public Works and Engineering recommends awarding the Iowa Highway 1/US Highway
218 Ramp Signalization & Iowa Highway 1/Kitty Lee Road Right Turn Lane Project to
Streb Construction Co. Inc., as the lowest responsible bidder. Although Vieth
Construction Corporation 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 low bid was $408,689.90 from Vieth Construction Corporation, and the second low
bid was $419,361.65 from Streb Construction Co. Inc. The Engineer's estimate for this
project was $403,304.50.
