BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
North Dodge Partners, LLC and Iowa City Community School District are requesting a
rezoning of the subject property to reflect public ownership. The School District is in the
process of purchasing the property and intends to use the property for the central
administrative office, School Board meeting location, food service area and other uses
S:PCD /Staff Reports/ REZ11 -00006 1725 N. Dodge
related to the School District. Section 14 -2F -1 B -1 of the Zoning Ordinance states that uses
such as schools, parks, police and fire stations, and other civic buildings owned or otherwise
controlled by the County, the City, or the Iowa City Community School District for such uses
will be designated as P1, Neighborhood Public Zone. The P1 zoning designation serves a
notice function to those owning or buying land in proximity to publicly owned or controlled
land.
The subject property was rezoned in November 1988 from Low Density Single Family
Residential (RS5) to Research Development Park (RDP) for the development of a facility
for the Iowa City Press - Citizen. At that time, the rezoning included a conditional zoning
agreement to address concerns such as the environmental sensitive features of the
property, including steep, critical and protected slopes, and preservation of the natural
beauty along the northeast entrance to the city. One condition of the conditional zoning
agreement required compliance with the Iowa City Press- Citizen Development Standards
dated November 2, 1988, with the stated purpose of producing a high quality and
aesthetically pleasing development that complements the site's natural resources and
preserves an environment that is pleasing to occupants, visitors, and neighbors. These
standards specifically address site standards, landscaping, grading and drainage, signage,
parking, outdoor storage, exterior lighting, utilities, and building design.
The applicant has indicated that they have chosen not to use the "Good Neighbor Policy."
ANALYSIS:
Current Zoning
The current zoning is Research Development Park Zone (RDP), which allows for the
development of office, research, production, or assembly firms, and other complementary
uses. Although some other uses are allowed, office and research uses should predominate
in the RDP zone. Staff feels the Iowa City School District's intended uses are similar to
those typically found in the Research Development Park Zone.
Upon rezoning in 1988, a conditional zoning agreement was also adopted. The agreement
outlines specific regulations concerning site development to ensure the environmentally
sensitive features are preserved and an attractive entryway into the city is maintained. Staff
recommends the current rezoning also be subject to a conditional zoning agreement to
address similar concerns and ensure consistency with the intent of the original zoning and
development standards.
Proposed Zoning
The proposed zoning of Neighborhood Public (P1) would reflect public use of the land and
will allow the property to be used for public purposes associated with the Iowa City School
District. Public uses are subject to certain development standards in order to create a
transition between public and private uses. When a P1 zone abuts a residential zone,
buildings and structures may not exceed the maximum height specified for the adjacent
residential zone. In this location the height restriction is 35 feet. Setbacks must be at least
equal to the setbacks of the adjacent residential zone. The P1 zone also contains
requirements for landscaping and screening. The current development on the property
meets all of these standards.
Comprehensive Plan
The subject property is located in the Northeast Planning District, which identifies this area
S:PCD /Staff Reports/ REZ11 -00006 1725 N. Dodge
for Research Development Park. The area is also discussed in the North District Plan
because it is located at the boundary of the two districts. The North District Plan and the
Northeast District Plan both mention the area as the location of two major employers, Iowa
City Press - Citizen and ACT. Both district plans also emphasize the need to preserve the
area's natural beauty and maintain the area as an attractive entrance into the city.
The North District Plan identifies Dodge Street as a main entranceway corridor into Iowa
City. Maintaining and enhancing the appearance of the entranceway is recommended.
Views of wooded ravines and well - landscaped office park developments have been
identified as positive features of the area.
The Northeast District Plan has a section that discusses environmental features in the
area. The Plan encourages "development that occurs with consideration of ecological
features, such as protecting critical wildlife habitats, natural terrain, and future green
space."
At this time, the Iowa City School District has not proposed any major exterior alterations
to the site. If future reconstruction of the site is proposed, staff recommends that the new
development maintains sensitivity to natural features and intended aesthetics as outlined
by the Comprehensive Plan and district plans. Staff recommends the rezoning be subject
to a conditional zoning agreement that requires future site plans to be consistent with the
original intent of the 1988 Conditional Zoning Agreement and the Iowa City Press - Citizen
Printing and Publishing Facility Development Standards. The conditional zoning
agreement should also require maintenance of the current landscaping as a way to
preserve the existing slope and buffer parking from North Dodge Street.
Staff feels the requested rezoning of the subject property from RDP to P1 is generally
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan's RDP designation due to the similar nature of the
School District's proposed uses. However, if the rezoning is approved, the
Comprehensive Plan should be amended at some future time to reflect the public use,
rather than Research Development Park, in order to more accurately reflect the land use.
This can be done the next time the Northeast District Plan is updated or amended.
Neighborhood Compatibility
The site as currently developed appears to be compatible with the surround areas, including
residential neighborhoods to the south, a natural preservation area west and southwest, and
undeveloped commercial office to the east. To maintain neighborhood compatibility, the
existing southern buffer from the residential neighborhood would need to be preserved. The
conditional zoning agreement, as recommended by staff, would ensure any future site
changes would maintain neighborhood compatibility.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas
This property contains some steep, critical, and protected slopes. The protected slopes
should remain buffered and undisturbed. At this time, the School District has not proposed
any major changes to the site. However, staff recommends the rezoning be subject to a
conditional zoning agreement that would ensure any future development would preserve
the site's environmentally sensitive features consistent with the intension of the original
site plan approved in 1988. The conditional zoning, as recommended by staff, would also
require general compliance with the Landscape Plan dated March 24, 1989 and approved
as part of the Site Development Plan for the Iowa City Press - Citizen Office and Production
Facility of 1989.
S:PCD /Staff Reports/ REZ11 -00006 1725 N. Dodge
Traffic, Access, and Street Design
The site currently has one access point off of North Dodge, located near the northeast
corner of the parcel. At this time, the School District has not indicated any intention to
modify access to the site. The conditional zoning agreement, as recommended by staff,
would require any future site plans that may alter the entrance be reviewed to ensure
general compliance with the 1989 Landscape Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of REZ11- 00006, an application to rezone 10.39 acres of land
located at 1027 North Dodge from RDP to P1, subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement
that addresses the need to preserve the site's environmentally sensitive features and
maintain the area as an attractive entryway into the city.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Stanley and Douglas, LLC, has requested an amendment to a Low Density
Planned Development Overlay (OPD -5) plan to allow three -car garages on four proposed
residential units at 1415, 1419, 1433 & 1441 Village Road. The units are part of Lot 50 of
the Village Green Development, Part 20.
The plat and OPD plan for Village Green Part 20 was originally approved in December 2001
with two -car garages on all units. The OPD plan was amended in January 2005 to allow
three -car garages on 7 out of 19 dwelling units. The approved plan included a note that the
third garage stall must be set back at least two feet from the other garage stalls, in order to
2
provide some articulation along the facade.
All of the units approved for three car garages have been built and the applicant has
reported that they sold very well. In light of the popularity of the three -car garage units, the
applicant is requesting that four additional units be approved to have three -car garages.
Because this is a planned development overlay with a specific plan, in order to build more
units with three -car garages, it is necessary to amend the previously approved OPD plan.
The applicant has indicated that they have not used the "Good Neighbor Policy."
ANALYSIS:
The OPD -5 zoning is intended to permit flexibility in the use and design of structures and
land in situations where a conventional development may be inappropriate, and where
modifications of requirements of the underlying zone are not contrary to: 1 . The intent and
purpose of the zoning ordinance, 2. The Comprehensive Plan, or 3. The safety and welfare
of the surrounding neighborhood.
The approved plan for Village Green Part 20 allows up to 7 of the 19 units to have three -car
garages, with the remaining units approved for two -car garages. At the time of the
approval, it was found that Village Green housing units were suitable for three -car garages
because they have relatively long areas of green space between structures. The green
spaces were thought to mitigate the effect of the garages. Staff believes that this finding
remains valid.
Staff believes that allowing these three -car garages will not adversely affect the surrounding
neighborhood, or contradict the intent of the zoning ordinance or the comprehensive plan.
The previous requirement that the third garage stall be set back at least two feet from the
other stalls should be retained, to provide some articulation along the facade. The draft OPD
plan for the proposed units includes this setback.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that REZ11- 00007, a rezoning to amend the Planned Development
Overlay plan of Village Green Part 20 to allow three -car garages on four new units, be
approved.

Dear Council,

We are writing to ask the council to please reconsider the zoning proposal that would industrialize the land surrounding
the Dane Property. This is a great opportunity to create an inviting green space. City landscape architects should create
a design for the space in question and present it to the council.
We have visited the Dane property on a number of occasions and finds its beauty rare. It will be a great loss to the city if
the scenic views provided by this hilltop property are not preserved.
Thank you.

Dear Honorable Mayor and City Council Members:
I am writing in support of George R. Dane's request to zone the adjacent property to the
proposed Dane Parkas CC -1. I have been on the property on more than one occasion
and it is quite obvious to me as well as others that the views from the top of the hill are as
scenic as you will see anywhere in Johnson County. It would be a shame to have this
blighted down the road with the uses allowed by CI -1.
Thank you for your consideration to this matter.
Sincerely,
Michael E. i odge

Zoning for the ILJ Property

RE: Zoning for the ILJ Property
Dear Mayor Hayek and City Council Members:
I want to clarify some things I talked about on April 5th, what I planned to say on the 19th, and add
information you might not have regarding the future park in southwest Iowa City on 16 acres I own.
When there is no grandchild who desires to live there, the hill top will be donated to the Iowa Natural
Heritage Foundation for the use and benefit of the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Commission; to be
used only as a park and recreation area.
I cannot tell you how soon. Those decisions have not yet been made.
I want to make it clear that all the paper work for creating the park is in place and has been for some
time.
When the 16 acres becomes a park, our home, the out buildings, the orchard, flag pole etc, go with it.
Initially, I will keep the income from the existing cell tower lease. Then that income will become an
endowment for the Parks and Recreation Commission.
As I understand the position of the majority on the Council, Having spent a lot of money building the 3
lane extension to Mormon Trek, they believe the City must maximize its return on the ILJ strip by
adopting CI -1 zoning.
I understand that.
At the same time, the Dane Family has been requesting CO -1 zoning.
This request is not for the benefit of our Family.
Our tenure on the hill top will end. I don't know when, but it will end.
Nor is this a "quid pro quo ". We give you our home, the outbuildings, an endowment of the cell tower
income, and 16 acres of land; and in return you give us CO -1 zoning. This is not the case.
I know some of you have voted twice for CI -1 zoning.
I ask you to hear me out.
We are trying to speak for future users of the park who we will be there until the glaciers or the floods
come again.
Whatever zoning is selected for the development of the ILJ property, won't ever be changed. It would
be too expensive.
The land on the North East side of Mormon Trek, where Pip Printing is located, is zoned CO -1. So was
the land immediately west of our property and future park. It was also zoned CO -1 until Billion
attempted to build a car dealership there and requested it be changed.
There is a precedent then for continuing the CO -1 zoning around to the land on the south side of our
property and future park.
It was the developer of the ILJ property that requested annexation and CI -1 zoning.
To our knowledge there is no one waiting to build there and probably won't be for awhile. According to
the newspaper, the developer will be a guest of a federal prison for 6 months for income tax evasion.
Every time zoning has been discussed, we have tried to make it clear, "We are not against
development. We know it will occur and should ".
Iowa City has a long history for being concerned about its appearance. It has spent a lot of money for
parks and recreation.
Many trees line our streets and money has been spent willingly to care for them.
Downtown there are brick pavers instead of concrete or asphalt for a walking surface.
Historic districts have been created. There are rules for where a garage can be built and how much the
set back is from the street for a house.
If CI -1 zoning is placed on the ILJ property and bushes (trees) planted as a buffer, they will never hide
what is allowed there. Questions, "Who will trim, maintain and replace them ?." "Who will enforce
that ?"
Our concern has always been for the future users of the park.
I ask again that you adopt CO -1 zoning for the ILJ property.
Thank you,
George R. Dane

RE: History and Creation of the Dane Family Park
Dear Mayor Hayek and City Council Members
I do not know how complete the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation files are, but here is a brief
summary from mine.
In the late 1990's there was an article in the Cedar Rapids Gazette about people who lived on
the bluffs across the Mississippi from McGregor. They wanted to protect the bluffs and the views
from being purchased by individuals who would build "'trophy" homes for their exclusive use.
I became concerned about what would happen to our hilltop when I was gone.
I did some research and investigated some options.
August 20, 2000, I met with Suzanne Summerwill, Trust officer at what was then Iowa State
Bank, and outlined what I was going to do and why.
August 21, 2000, a representative from the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation came to the farm
along with Terry Trueblood representing the City of Iowa City Parks & Recreation Commission.
January 9, 2001, I wrote the INHF about preserving the land for the future.
By February 24, 2001, I had a plan in draft form. A key provision was the INHF will be the title
holder. In turn it will grant a conditional use permit to the Iowa City Parks & Recreation
Commission for the site to be used only as a park and recreation area.
August 2, 2001 in a letter to INHF, I speak of having been in communication with the City
Council and no objection was raised about the Foundation being the title holder to insure the
terms of our agreement were carried out.
August 15, 2001. I was told of a report the ISU Foundation had sold a farm contrary to the
wishes of the donor. This validated the INHF being the title holder.
The INHF accepted my plan April 2, 2002. When it becomes the owner, it will immediately grant
a conditional use permit to the Iowa City Parks & Recreation Commission. I also set aside
money to help defray any expenses incurred in enforcing the conditional use.
I sent the same correspondence to the Johnson County Heritage Trust and made a deposit of
funds as a back up to INHF
November 11, 2005. My brother John Dane and I appeared before the Parks & Recreation
Commission. We explained the hill top will remain a family residence until no grandchildren of
George and Marjorie Dane desire to live there.
At that time the land and buildings will be gifted by deed to the Iowa Natural Heritage
Foundation. The Foundation will grant a conditional use permit to the Iowa City Park and
Recreation Commission for the site to be used only as a Park or Recreation Area.
Since the gift will take place some years in the future, the information was shared so it may be

Re: Proposed Amendment to the Weed Control Ordinance
Issue
The Weed Control Ordinance (i.e., Title 6 Public Health and Safety) establishes the tall grass
nuisance standard at 14 inches, which citizens have complained allows grass to grow too tall
before enforcement can occur.
Discussion
The 14" tall grass nuisance standard has been in effect since 1994. This standard is higher than
Coralville (10 ") or North Liberty (8 "). The City is authorized to go on private property and abate
tall grass 14" or taller after notice is provided to the property owner and seven days are given to
correct the nuisance by mowing the grass. On average (last 5 years), the City receives 329 tall
grass complaints from neighborhoods and approximately 21 percent had to be mowed by the
City.
Reducing the tall grass nuisance standard from 14" to 10" will improve nuisance enforcement.
The 14" standard allows grasses to grow too tall, causing them to bend over and make the
grass difficult to cut. This practice often leads to uncut clumps of tall grass and mounds of dead
grass, resulting in further complaints from neighbors. In addition, the 10" standard will allow
earlier enforcement of the tall grass nuisance standard, providing an improved response to
neighborhood complaints.
Tall grasses in residential neighborhoods are often the depository for trash, junk, and other
debris. Keeping grass mowed improves the overall appearance and livability of our
neighborhoods. The City has taken a proactive enforcement approach (not complaint driven) in
certain neighborhoods where this has been an ongoing problem. Also, repeat offenders are
allowed only three days to correct the nuisance and are charged a $75 reinspection fee per
violation.
Recommendation
Staff recommends amending the tall grass nuisance standard establishing 10" as the height for
tall grasses. This will require property owners to have tall grass mowed to a height of 10" or
less.
