To: Tom Markus
From: Robin Marshall, Controller
Sara Sproule, Assistant Controller
Re: Governmental Accounting Standards Board statement #54 — Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions
This item pertains to a new Accounting Standard. The Governmental Accounting Standards
Board (GASB) has issued a new statement, GASB #54 - Fund Balance Reporting and
Governmental Fund Type Definitions. The objective of this Statement is to enhance the
usefulness of fund balance information in the financial statements by providing clearer fund
balance classifications that can be more consistently applied and by clarifying the existing
governmental fund type definitions. This Statement establishes fund balance classifications that
comprise a hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which a government is bound to observe
constraints imposed upon the use of resources reported in governmental funds. The
requirements of this Statement are effective for the City's financial statements for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 2011.
New Fund Balance Classifications under GASB #54 are:
1. Nonspendable -
Nonspendable Fund Balance represents amounts that cannot be spent because they are either
not in spendable form or are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact.
2. Restricted -
Restricted Fund Balance represents amounts that have constraints placed on their use. The
restrictions can be externally imposed by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations
of other governments, imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation.
3. Committed -
Committed Fund Balance represents amounts that can only be used for specific purposes
based on constraints imposed by formal action of the government's highest level of decision
making authority.
4. Assigned -
Assigned Fund Balance represents amounts that are intended by the government to be used for
specific purposes, but are neither restricted nor committed. The intent should be expressed by
the governing body itself, a body (budget or finance committee) or an official authorized by the
governing body to assign resources to be used for specific purposes.
5. Unassigned -
Unassigned Fund Balance represents amounts in the General Fund that are available for any
purpose.
Our auditors, EIDE BAILLY LLP, recommend that the City adopt a resolution that gives
assignment powers for assigned funds to the Finance Director. We concur with this
recommendation and recommend approval of the attached resolution.

MEMORANDUM
Date: May 19, 2011
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Christina Kuecker, Associate Planner
RE: Comprehensive Plan amendment to change the designation of 1014, 1018, & 1022 Hudson
Avenue from Residential to General Commercial (CPA11- 00002)
The applicant, Ranshaw Limited Partnership, has requested a Comprehensive Plan amendment to
change the designation of 1014, 1018, & 1022 Hudson Avenue from Residential to General
Commercial to correspond with the requested rezoning of these parcels from RS -8 to CC -2.
In 1991, residents of the Miller- Orchard Neighborhood submitted an application to amend the
Comprehensive Plan to show the subject parcels as residential instead of commercial. This was as a
result of the neighborhood feeling threatened by commercial rezoning requests to 1014, 1018, & 1019
Hudson Avenue. The neighborhood felt that the commercial rezoning requests for these properties
would have a negative impact on the neighborhood. Prior to 1991, the subject properties had been
designated for General Commercial in the Comprehensive Plan.
The residential designation was also transferred to the Southwest District Plan adopted in 2002. The
text does not mention this specific area, but on the map on page 33, the parcels are shown as Single -
Family /Duplex Residential. The 1997 Comprehensive Plan does not specifically mention this area.
The minutes and staff report from the Planning and Zoning Commission consideration in 1991 are
included in your packet. At that time, Staff recommended against changing the designation from
General Commercial to Residential. However, the Commission and City Council chose to make the
amendment.
Staff opinion is the same as in 1991 — that the subject properties are appropriate for commercial
development and the designation as such is compatible with the principles of the Comprehensive
Plan. The general principles of the Comprehensive Plan encourage commercial development along
major arterial streets. High volumes of traffic are conducive to successful commercial enterprises and
can be detrimental to successful low density residential uses. The subject properties are surrounded
by commercial uses on the east, west, and south. In additional the properties are adjacent to
Highway 1 and can be accessed from an already existing curb cut on Highway 1. Therefore, in
Staff's opinion, the subject properties are appropriate for commercial uses.
The Comprehensive Plan also recommends focusing commercial development in commercial centers
in order to discourage sprawl. In addition a good planning principle is to zone both sides of the street
with zones that are similar in use. In general it is a better land use transition to change zoning
designation at the side or rear lot lines rather than down the middle of the street.
Neighborhood residents have expressed a concern that changing the land use designation and
zoning of these properties from residential to commercial may lead to further rezoning requests and
erosion of the residential character of the neighborhood. Staff believes that the current zoning
boundary to the east between the CC -2 and RS -8 creates a clear demarcation and the proposed
commercial land use designation for 1014, 1018 and 1022 Hudson would be a logical extension of
this pattern. Further rezoning requests to commercial farther to the north on Hudson would not be
appropriate. As previously recommend any zone changes that follow a comprehensive plan
amendment should be subject to conditions for buffering and design that would further reinforce the
transition from residential to commercial.
May 13, 2011
Page 2
The Miller Orchard neighborhood has taken great effort recently to preserve and improve their
neighborhood. However, the long term viability of these properties as residential is questionable.
The properties are surrounded by commercial uses and are extremely close to a major highway,
which has a traffic count of approximately 22,000 vehicles per day. The negative externalities of the
surrounding commercial uses and traffic on these properties do not favor long term residential uses in
the area. In fact, none of the three properties have been owner occupied for at least the past 25 -30
years.
Staff feels that these parcels are appropriate for commercial uses and with proper design and
buffering will be compatible with the neighborhood. Despite the removal of 3 single family properties,
the residential neighborhood will be preserved and will remain intact as a viable residential
neighborhood.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Comprehensive Plan and the Southwest District Plan be amended to
designate the land use for 1014, 1016, and 1022 Hudson Avenue (Lots 16 -19 of Bailey and Beck
Addition) as General Commercial.

Comprehensive Plan Amendment from

In January, 1991, the City received a request from Iowa City Landscaping to rezone Lots 22 and
23 of Bailey and Beck Addition from RS -8 to CI -1. In recent years, Ken Ranshaw has attempted
to rezone Lots 16 and 17 of Bailey and Beck Addition from RS -8 to CC -2. The neighborhood
has objected to both rezoning requests, because the neighborhood wants to preserve the
residential neighborhood and also believes that the rezoning of property in the southern portion
of the neighborhood will have significant negative impacts on the remainder of the neighborhood.
The Ranshaw's rezoning request was denied by both the Planning and Zoning Commission and
the City Council. The Iowa City Landscaping rezoning request was recommended for denial by
the Planning and Zoning Commission at its April 4, 1991, meeting. However, at its April 18, 1991
meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to reconsider the rezoning request.
Consideration of the rezoning request has been deferred until the Comprehensive Plan issue has
been resolved and/or a compromise has been reached between the applicant and the
neighborhood regarding the rezoning request. As a result of these recent rezoning requests, the
neighborhood has requested that the Comprehensive Plan be amended to show residential uses
as the preferred uses on the subject properties.
F
Though residential uses presently occupy the subject properties and have occupied them for a
number of years, the area of the subject properties has been designated for general commercial
use in the Comprehensive Plan since at least 1978. The following analysis examines the
rationale behind designating the subject properties for commercial uses and the continued validity
of that rationale.
ANALYSIS:
The 1989 Comprehensive Plan lists a number of policy statements which are to assist policy
makers in making decisions (pp. 2 -7). A number of these policies specifically apply to the location
of commercial uses and the location of residential uses. Since the Comprehensive Plan
designates the subject area for commercial use, it is appropriate to begin the analysis with the
policy statements which relate to the location of commercial uses.
The general policies of the Comprehensive Plan encourage commercial development along those
major trafficways within the community that are designated as part of a commercial core. It is
assumed that exposure to highway traffic is desirable for many commercial activities. The
Comprehensive Plan also assumes that new businesses should be located "in existing core areas
where appropriate, to facilitate the provision of city services and maximize efficiency," therefore,
it is important that land located in designated commercial cores be utilized for commercial
purposes. Due to the fixed amount of land in existing commercial cores and the pressure to
expand commercial uses into non - commercial designated areas of the city, it is important for the
city to continue designating land located in commercial cores for commercial uses. The subject
properties are located in an area designated as a commercial core and are surrounded to the
east, west, and south by commercial uses. The subject properties are also located near a major
trafficway, Highway 1 West, and can attain easy access to this major trafficway. The subject
properties, therefore, are ideally suited for commercial uses as presently designated in the
Comprehensive Plan. If the subject properties continue to be used for residential uses in the
long- range, continuity of the commercial core would be interrupted and pressure commercial
development elsewhere.
The general policies stated in the Comprehensive Plan also provide guidance on the location of
residential uses and the preservation of existing residential uses and neighborhoods. The
Comprehensive Plan states that "the housing needs of low- moderate income households and
special populations such as people with disabilities and the elderly should be accommodated" and
that consideration must be given to the "diverse needs of renters and homeowners in making
residential development decisions." The Comprehensive Plan goes on to state that:
"Rehabilitation and investment in existing neighborhoods should be encouraged to
maintain housing stock and preserve desirable neighborhood characteristics,
particularly in older neighborhoods. Older neighborhoods provide a considerable
portion of the City's affordable housing stock and should be preserved for that,
among other reasons."
The Hudson Avenue neighborhood is recognized as providing affordable housing for both renters
and homeowners. Property owners have taken the effort to preserve their neighborhood by
rehabilitating and investing in their homes and neighborhood through not only private funds, but
also public funds. There is no doubt that, as a whole, the Hudson Avenue neighborhood has
developed a desirable character. However, the desirability of the conditions in which the subject
3
properties exist is questionable. The subject properties are surrounded by commercial uses to
the east, south, and west. The properties are extremely close to a major trafficway which has a
traffic count of over 18,000 cars per day. The negative externalities of surrounding commercial
uses and traffic on the subject properties on the south end of Hudson Avenue do not favor
residential uses in this area. In fact, owners of three of the five subject lots have made attempts
to rezone their property from a residential use to a commercial use.
The location of commercial activities and a major trafficway near residential uses has negative
impacts on the remainder of the neighborhood. The Comprehensive Plan states that efforts
should be made to "minimize the negative impacts of arterial traffic on residential neighborhoods"
and efforts should be made to "preserve to the maximum extent possible, the desirable
characteristics of existing residential neighborhoods through appropriate street design." In
conjunction with the most recent rezoning request in the area, an effort was made to preserve the
residential character of the neighborhood by recommending a street design for Hudson Avenue
that would reduce the negative impacts of nearby arterial traffic and commercial activities. The
neighborhood presently does not support the plan, but has indicated that they might consider it
in the future. Also, any rezoning of property to a commercial use should require suitable
architectural or natural buffers between the commercial uses and the low density residential uses
to further separate the two uses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the 1989 Comprehensive Plan Update continue to designate the land use
for Lots 16 -19 & 22 of Bailey and Beck Addition as General Commercial.

3° Public hearing on an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use
designation from General Commercial to Residential (2 -8 dwelling units per acre) for
Lots 16 -19 and 22 of Bailey and Beck Addition located north of Highway 1 West along
the south end of Hudson Avenue.
Schoon stated that this item was the result of a request from the neighbors in the area
to have the Commission consider the re- designation of this area in the Comprehensive
Plan for residential uses. Schoon reviewed the staff report dated June 20, 1991.
Staff recommended that the 1989 Comprehensive Plan Update continue to designate
the land use for Lots 16 -19 and 22 of Bailey and Beck Addition as General Commer-
cial.
Public discussion was opened at 8:05 p.m.
Norval Tucker. 1600 Prairie du Chien, indicated that he and his wife own the property
at 1022 Hudson Avenue. He noted that all of the neighbors understand the
considerable time and effort staff has put into its analysis, although they might
disagree with staff's conclusions. He stated that with each rezoning request in this
area, either staff or a member of the Commission has referred to the Comprehensive
Plan. He indicated that this has lead the neighbors to make a formal request to amend
the Comprehensive Plan to show residential use as the preferred use in the area. He
said this should help the neighbors avoid having to come before the Commission at
fairly frequent intervals to present the reasons to retain Hudson Avenue as a residential
street. He noted that the Comprehensive Plan suggests that major trafficways should
be designated as part of a commercial core and in his opinion this seems to be the
primary issue. He indicated that it seems to him that the City staff looked at the map
and saw a highway while ignoring the residential street in the area. He said that the
effect of this was to recommend that the commercial uses should be imposed on the
residents of Hudson Avenue. Tucker stated that the Comprehensive Plan recommends
that commercial uses be located in existing commercial cores for efficiency, but he
indicated that he does not understand how this would relate to Hudson Avenue. He
stressed that the property he owns on Hudson Avenue only has access onto Hudson
Avenue and not onto Highway 1 West. He expressed his disagreement with staff that
changing the land use designation for these lots would force commercial uses to
develop elsewhere in the City.
Tucker informed the Commission that the preservation of the residential character of
Hudson Avenue is the primary concern of the neighbors. He said staff has indicated
that the land on the southern end of Hudson Avenue is not desirable for residential
use, but he noted that after living in the neighborhood for 30 years, he finds this
conclusion to be presumptuous. Tucker said they successfully gardened on their
property and to say that the land is ideally suited for commercial use is wrong. He
stated that while covering a site that is well suited for agricultural use with asphalt
may be legal, it is far from ideal. Tucker pointed out that staff has indicated that the
owners of three of the subject lots have requested rezoning in recent years. He
stressed that it needs to be mentioned that these lots were purchased with the
intention of requesting rezoning and that this justifies the neighbors' concern. He
Planning & Zoning Commission
July 18, 1991
Page 6
emphasized that the practice of people buying property in a residential neighborhood
with the intention of changing the character of the neighborhood is a hazard many
people in Iowa City face. Tucker noted that staff mentioned the proposal to redesign
the streets in the neighborhood, but he stressed that there are still questions about the
acceptability of this alternative to the neighbors and its effects on fire protection. He
noted that the proposal contradicts the purpose of the neighbors' request because it
removes access from the properties at the south end of Hudson Avenue from the rest
of the neighborhood so it would require revision before it could be considered
acceptable. Tucker stressed that continuing residential zoning on the subject
properties would be the best buffer against commercial encroachment and he reminded
the Commission of the need for moderately priced family housing. Tucker said he
recently received multiple inquiries without advertising for his property from people
who are in need of moderately priced rental housing near a good school. He stressed
that the need exists in Iowa City and asked the Commission to support the neighbor-
hood's efforts to fulfill some of that need.
Karen Hradek. 924 Hudson Avenue, stated that the neighbors care about protecting
their boundaries and are sincere and persistent in their efforts. She noted that when
this issue was first discussed earlier in the year, staff did a turnaround on the issue
and began favoring the development of a commercial strip in this area. She indicated
that it seems to her that politics became an issue. Hradek stressed that the neighbors
take pride in both their homes and their yards and that the families who live within
viewing distance of the subject properties have 325 years of continuing habitation in
their homes.
Hradek emphasized that there is a need to distinguish between people who live in the
area and those who have businesses in the neighborhood. She stressed that
businesses tend to leave a site once they have outgrown a location. Hradek reported
that one result of having businesses next to neighborhoods is that the residents
become walled -in because of screening requirements. She noted that on the Hudson
Avenue side of the Iowa City Landscaping property, there is a maintenance area which
includes equipment and supplies which is not an attractive sight for those living in the
neighborhood. She stressed that increasing the number of businesses in the
neighborhood will increase this problem. Hradek noted that the neighbors want a nice
place to live while the businesses are only desiring to make money over the short-term
and will move out of the neighborhood when there is a need to expand. Hradek
indicated that the Council is in favor of affordable housing and she said affordable
housing currently exists on Hudson Avenue.
Mary Sweating. 915 Hudson Avenue, stated that she does not want to have
commercial designation in the Comprehensive Plan for this area. She asked if anyone
had information regarding when the traffic light would be installed along Highway 1
West. Ken Renshaw indicated that the bids for the traffic light will go out after the
project has been approved by the Council and lights will be located at Miller Avenue
and Orchard Street at Highway 1 West.

Mary Ann Gerard 921 Hudson Avenue, stated that she has lived in the neighborhood
for 23 years. She stressed that it is a pleasant neighborhood to live in and that she
wants it to remain this way. She expressed the opinion that changing the Comprehen-
sive Plan designation for the area to RS -8 would be appropriate.
Jeff Kern. 820 Hudson Avenue stated that he has lived in his home for 15 years. He
indicated that he feels the Comprehensive Plan land use designation for the area as,
commercial doesn't offer an incentive to property owners to maintain residential homes
if they desire to have a commercial use in the area.
Helen Jahnke, 942 Miller Avenue, informed the Commission that she and her husband
purchased their home in 1954. She said they moved to the neighborhood because it
was close to their employment at the hospital and was near a school. She reported
that all the structures on Miller Avenue are single - family homes except for one
structure. She stressed that the subject properties provide moderately priced single -
family housing and asked that the situation be retained so that other properties in the
area will have a buffer from commercial uses. Jahnke stated that he is also speaking
for Elizabeth Reynolds who has recently improved her home and for Bob and Effie
Rettig who are a young couple working to buy their own home. Jahnke stressed that
she would like to keep the neighborhood residential for as long as is possible.
Elmer Ferrel 952 Miller Avenue, stated that he has lived in the neighborhood since
1950 and built his own home over a two -year period. He reported that he and his wife
have raised five children in their house and he would like to have the neighborhood
kept as it has been in the past. He indicated that he feels changing the land use
designation in the Comprehensive Plan would help in achieving this goal.
Paul Dykstra Iowa City Landscaoino stated that they originally wanted to rezone Lot
22 and still might request that this be done in the future. He stressed that he feels the
number of vehicles that travel on Highway 1 West will greatly increase when Waimart
is constructed. He indicated that originally, their business was accused of wanting to
buy all of the houses along the street which would not be financially feasible, and they
are now being accused of planning on leaving the neighborhood when they outgrow
the current location. Dykstra stressed that by tradition, nurseries stay in one location
and he indicated that he would like to see the business stay at its current location.
Larry Schnittier. MMS Consultants, stated that staff's position has always been
consistent and any changes have been in the interpretation based on what staff has
been asked to review. He emphasized that staff has consistently recommended that
the Comprehensive Plan not be changed while it has recommended that specific
rezoning requests be denied as inappropriate at that time.

Ken Renshaw, Paul's Discount, stated that he supports the staff recommendation and
the current Comprehensive Plan designation for the subject properties. He stressed
that he maintains his rental property which he owns in the area. Jeff Kern responded
that he did not intend to imply that Renshaw does not maintain his property, but he
merely meant to say that the land use designation in the Comprehensive Plan does not
offer incentives for maintenance.
Public discussion was closed at 8:36 p.m.
Scott stressed that staff has consistently recommended retaining the commercial
designation for these lots in the Comprehensive Plan.
Reid moved to continue the public hearing on an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan to change the land use designation from General Commercial to Residential for
Lots 16 -19 and 22 of Bailey and Beck Addition located north of Highway 1 West along
the south end of Hudson Avenue to August 1, 1991. Gibson seconded. The motion
carried 4 -0.
4. Public hearing on an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the sequence
of development from Phase 11(2000 -2010) to Phase 10 989 -19991 for an approximate
315 acre undeveloped area generally located south of Wetherby Park and Grant Wood
School, along both the east and west sides of Sycamore Street, and within the
corporate limits.
Schoon stated that he could answer any questions that the Commission might have
on either the June 20, 1991, staff report or the staff memorandum dated July 18,
1991. Information regarding bonding by the City was distributed at Cook's request.
Cook suggested that line one on page two of the staff memorandum dated July 18,
1991, instead of reading that "additional neighborhood parkland may be needed to
serve the needs of the projected residential population," this section of the amendment
should read that "additional neighborhood parkland will be needed to serve the needs
of the projected residential population." He noted that this language is supported by
the Comprehensive Plan.
The public hearing was opened at 8:51 p.m.
There was none.
Gibson moved to close the public hearing at 8:51 p.m. Cook seconded. The motion
carried 4 -0.
Gibson moved to approve the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan text amendments
as stated in the staff memorandum dated July 18, 1991, to change the sequence of
development from Phase 11 to Phase I for an approximate 315 acre undeveloped area
in the South Area of Iowa City. Cook seconded.

ZONING ITEMS:
Public hearing on an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use
designation from General Commercial to Residential (2 -8 dwelling units per acre) for
Lots 16 -19 and 22 of Bailey & Beck Addition located north of Highway 1 West on the
south end of Hudson Avenue.
Schoon referred to the staff report dated June 20, 1991, wherein staff recommended
that the Comprehensive Plan continue to designate the preferred use for Lots 16 -19
and 22 of Bailey & Beck Addition as General Commercial.
Public hearing was open at 7:45 P.M.
Ncrval Tucker, 1600 Prairie du Chien, stated that one reason that the Commission deferred
to the rezoning request of Iowa City Landscaping was to allow for a compromise. He stated
that this is really not possible because there is not an intermediate zone available for the area.
He noted that Iowa City Landscaping has indicated that they anticipate some changes to
occur within the next ten years. He said if the business is sold, then the expanded
commercial area could be used by other commercial uses that would be less desirable in a
residential neighborhood. Tucker noted that the Commission recently worked out a
compromise with the developer on the Peninsula area to permit an area to remain at RS -8
zoning as long as the development retained the density that would be allowed under RS -5
zoning. He stated that now the property has been sold and a proposal is before the
Commission that does not need to abide by that agreement. Tucker said that with that as an
example, the neighborhood feels it is necessary to have more protection than they currently
have.
I(siren Hradek, 924 Hudson Avenue, stated that at the last formal meeting, the Commission
heard a number of neighbors speak from their hearts. She reviewed the names of the people
who have sent notarized letters to the Commission and Council to support the amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan. She said that the people who have sent letters to the Council
have lived in the neighborhood for a total of 327 years. Hradek said that the residents choose
to live in this neighborhood for the quality of life and noted that it is close to schools,

employment, and shopping areas. She reminded the Commission that the Council believes
in the concept of organized neighborhoods and affordable housing and she asked for the
Comprehensive Plan designation to be changed.
Linda Dykstra Iowa City Landscaping. verified that the only change proposed for the future
may be the need to move the construction aspect of Iowa City Landscaping to another
location. She stressed that this would not be a detrimental change for the neighborhood.
Dgnnis Dvkstra Iowa City Lands aping, stated that they purchased two properties fully aware
of the Comprehensive Plan designation as commercial. He said that they asked the realtor if
they could make an offer subject to the zone change, but were unable to do so because of
a competing bid. He explained that the purpose of purchasing these lots was to get more
functional space to operate the business.
Bovbjerg moved to close public hearing at 7:55 P.M. Cook seconded. The motion carried
4 -0.
2. Public discussion of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use
designation from General Commercial to Residential (2 -8 dwelling units per acre) for
Lots 16 -19 and 22 of Bailey & Beck Addition located north of Highway 1 West along
the south end of Hudson Avenue.
Cook moved to defer to August 15, 1991, public discussion of an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation from General Commercial to
Residential (2 -8 dwelling units per acre) for Lots 16 -19 and 22 of Bailey & Beck Addition
located north of Highway 1 West along the south end of Hudson Avenue. Bovbjerg seconded.
The motion carried 4 -0.
3. Public hearing on an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use
designation of approximately 50.32 acres of property from Intensive Commercial to
Residential (8 -16 dwelling units per acre) and to change the land use designation of
approximately 6.97 acres of property from Intensive Commercial and Highway
Commercial to General Commercial. The subject properties are located north of the
Highway 1 and U.S. 218 interchange, on the north side of Mormon Trek Boulevard.
Schoon indicated that the applicant has requested a deferral of the zoning item to
August 15, 1991.

Schoon reported that staff continues to recommend that the Comprehensive Plan
continue to designate the subject lots for general commercial use. He reminded the
Commission of its commitment to resume consideration of Z -9101 after the Compre-
hensive Plan issue has been resolved.
Public discussion was opened at 7:43 p.m.
Norval Tucker. 1600 Prairie du Chien Road, made comments based on the Commis-
sion's informal discussion on August 12, 1991. He indicated that it had been stated
that the neighbors need to enumerate the underlying rationale for their desire to have
the Comprehensive Plan designation change for this area. He explained that this was
an established residential neighborhood before commercial development occurred in the
area. He stated that the neighbors fear that the side effects of commercial develop-
ment will extend further into the residential neighborhood and that he feels it is
reasonable to want to keep these side effects limited. Tucker said he feels that the
Comprehensive Plan encourages commercial development to encroach into the
residential neighborhood. He explained that the apparent sacredness of the
Comprehensive Plan amazes many people in the neighborhood and that he finds
appalling a comment that was made at the informal meeting that if the Commission
supports the needs of the residents of the neighborhood then they are being narrow
minded. Tucker indicated that he feels business is necessary, but should not
automatically take precedence over the daily lives of Iowa City residents. Tucker
explained that he feels that there is nothing inherently wrong about an established
residential neighborhood extending into an area that some non- residents have decided
should become commercial.
Karen Hradek. 924 Hudson Avenue, explained that the reasons the neighbors come
back time and again is because they care about the quality of life in their neighbor-
hood. She stated that this is the fourth time that a rezoning request has come up in
the neighborhood and this triggered the request for an amendment to the Comprehen-
sive Plan. She stressed that there was a constant threat to the quality of life and
property of residents of the neighborhood. She reviewed the names of those who
have written and/or have come before the Commission to support the proposed
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and noted that these individuals have 327
years of combined residency in the neighborhood. She asked the Commission to vote
to change the Comprehensive Plan in order to assure that the neighborhood can
maintain its quality of life and so that the neighbors are not continually threatened by
whoever decides they would like to do something else with the neighborhood.
Public discussion was closed at 7:48 p.m
Cook moved to amend the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation
from General Commercial to Residential (2 -8 dwelling units per acre) for Lots 16 -19
and 22 of Bailey and Beck addition located north of Highway 1 West along the south
end of Hudson Avenue. Cooper seconded.

August 15, 1991

Bovbjerg moved to amend the main motion to refer to Lots 16 through 19 only and not
to Lot 22. Reid seconded.
Scott clarified that the amendment to the motion would change the designation on the
east side of Hudson Avenue and leave the designation for general commercial on the
west side of Hudson Avenue. Bovbjerg explained that she feels the Comprehensive
Plan should look to the future, but should not be totally inflexible. She stressed that
it's important to consider the present uses of the land, the concerns of the neighbors,
and how the area will be vital in the near future. She said she feels it is necessary to
preserve the best of what is in the neighborhood. Reid expressed her support of the
amendment because she feels it is what is best for the parties involved. She noted
that Lots 16 -19 have been used for residential uses while Lot 22 had been used for
commercial use, although this use was not legal. Cook stated that he had vacillated
on this issue. He said it is possible that a vote to change the Comprehensive Plan as
it affects Lots 16 -19 would be to foreclose the options of this and future commissions
regarding the use of these lots. He noted that Highway 1 carries approximately
18,000 cars per day and this number will probably be increasing in the near future.
He said that it would make sense to leave the Comprehensive Plan as it is, so to leave
the options open for the current and future owners of the subject lots. He said the
easy political choice would be to change the Comprehensive Plan and stressed that
this is a very difficult decision. Cook stated that listening to the concerns of the
neighbors is a legitimate planning function and that he will be voting in favor of the
amendment to the main motion. Cooper stated that he lives in the neighborhood and
has mixed feelings because of traffic concerns, but he will be voting in favor of the
amendment. Gibson limited his comments to the issue of the amendment to the main
motion. He said this is a difficult decision and he does not feel that splitting the
neighborhood down the middle with residential uses extending to Highway 1 is a
desirable result. He expressed concern that there would be ambiguity about the
neighborhood's boundaries and its future. He stated that while it is clear this is a
compromise, he is not sure that it is a good compromise.
Scott noted that Lot 22, which is the only subject lot on the west side of Hudson
Avenue, has been utilized for some time for commercial use. He said changing the
Comprehensive Plan on the east side of Hudson Avenue recognizes the existing
residential uses. He indicated that if the Council affirms a positive recommendation
from the Commission, then the City will be saying to the property owners on the east
side of Hudson Avenue that this area should remain residential. He said that while this
may be a compromise, it is not necessarily a bad compromise. Scott said that he did
not hear a comment made at the informal meeting and if one was, in fact, made, he
would hope that it was not intended or meant as Mr. Tucker interpreted it, that the
neighbors were narrow minded in their belief in the legitimacy of changing the
Comprehensive Plan.
The motion to amend the main motion carried on a 5 -1 vote. (Gibson voting in the
negative.)
The main motion carried on a 6 -0 vote.

From: Christina Kuecker, Associate Planner
RE: REZ11 -00008 — 1014, 1016, & 1022 Hudson Avenue
At the May 5 meeting a question came up regarding the lighting on the existing
commercial, including Paul's Discount, and the lighting on the proposed commercial
at 1014, 1016, & 1022 Hudson Avenue.
Staff checked with the Housing and Inspection Services Department (HIS) on the
requirements for lighting. In regards to the lighting on the existing commercial, if it
can be made compliant by re- aiming the fixture, it must be brought into compliance.
HIS is checking to see if this is a possibility.
Any new lighting is required to meet the current lighting standards when installed.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The rezoning history of the subject properties; 1014 (Lot 16), 1016 (Lot 17), and 1022 (Lots 18 &
19) Hudson Avenue; goes back to 1981 when a request was made to rezone 1014 and 1016
Hudson Avenue from Residential to Commercial. This lead to neighborhood opposition because
of the potential adverse effects on the residential to the north and south and the application was
withdrawn.
Again in 1988, a request was made to rezone 1014 and 1016 Hudson Avenue to Commercial.
Staff recommended against the rezoning because of adverse effects the rezoning would have on
the residential properties to the north and south. Staff also recommended that if 1022 Hudson
Avenue was also rezoned to Commercial then the rezoning would be appropriate and would fit the
policies outlined in the Comprehensive Plan. The application received neighborhood opposition
and was withdrawn.
Then in 1990, the same request was made again to rezone 1014 and 1016 Hudson Avenue to
Commercial. Staff and neighborhood concerns were the same as the 1981 and 1988 rezoning
requests. The Council denied the application because of the increased traffic and noise on the
adjoining RS -8 neighborhood; the parcels would have no frontage along Highway 1, the
commercial corridor for the area; and the rezoning would cause isolation of the residential lot at
1022 Hudson Avenue from other residential uses.
In 1991 the neighborhood requested for the Comprehensive Plan to be changed for the eastern
side of the southern portion of Hudson Avenue (11014, 1016, and 1022 Hudson Avenue) from
General Commercial to Residential. This change was made and is the reason the Southwest
District Plan shows Residential in this area.
The applicant has indicated that they have chosen not to use the "Good Neighbor Policy" and
have not had discussions with neighborhood representatives.
ANALYSIS:
Zoning and the Comprehensive Plan: The current zoning of the property is Medium Density
Single Family (RS -8) and allows detached single family houses with duplexes on the corners. The
proposed zoning is Community Commercial (CC -2) which allows commercial uses, particularly
uses that require access from major thoroughfares.
The Comprehensive Plan and Southwest District Plan show this area as Single Family /Duplex
Residential. A Comprehensive Plan amendment will need to take place if the proposed rezoning
is to be approved. In general, the Comprehensive Plan and Southwest District Plan indicate
Highway 1 as a commercial corridor. In addition the single family residential uses are not a
compatible use along such a busy arterial street. Previous applications to rezone 1014 and 1016
Hudson Avenue were not approved because this would have left 1022 Hudson Avenue as an
isolated residential use surrounded by commercial and would have directed commercial traffic
onto Hudson Avenue.
Staff recommends that the set a public hearing to amend the Comprehensive Plan and Southwest
District Plan for the next meeting to change the designation of these properties from residential to
general commercial.
Neighborhood Compatibility: The properties to the east, south, and west of the proposed
rezoning are zoned Community Commercial (CC -2) and Intensive Commercial (CI -1). The
C]
properties to the north are zoned Medium Density Single Family Residential (RS -8). The
existing single family is surrounded on three sides by commercial uses. Staff finds that if
appropriate conditions are in place regarding building placement, screening, and vehicular
access the proposed rezoning would be compatible with the neighborhood.
The applicant has submitted three concept plans. The concept plans generally show the
building located in the north portion of the property and the parking located close to the street.
Two of the concept plans show access from the parking area on to Hudson Avenue. The other
does not. Staff feels that the building locations in all three concepts are appropriate, but does
not believe that there should be commercial vehicular access onto Hudson Avenue. In addition,
staff believes that there should be vegetative screening between any parking and the north
property line.
Traffic and Access: The proposed rezoning is located at the corner of Hudson Avenue and
Highway 1. In order to prevent negative traffic impacts on the residential neighborhood to the
north, staff recommends that the vehicular access to the property be limited to the Highway 1,
as a cross access easement with the existing curb cuts for the property to the east. The
applicant also owns the property to the east, so a cross access easement is feasible.
The City is planning to install a wide sidewalk along this portion of Highway 1 and sidewalks
along Hudson Avenue beginning this summer.
Summary: In general, Staff believes that the proposed rezoning is compatible with the
neighboring properties and is compliant with the general principals of the Comprehensive Plan. A
Comprehensive Plan amendment will be needed in order to rezone these properties. Staff also
believes that appropriate conditions need to be placed on the rezoning to mediate any adverse
effects on the existing RS -8 neighborhood to the north. Appropriate conditions include screening
along the north property line and limiting the vehicular access onto Hudson Avenue.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that REZ11- 00008, an application to rezone 0.69 acres located at 1014, 1016,
and 1022 Hudson Avenue from RS -8 to CC -1 be approved subject to a comprehensive plan
amendment changing the plan map to show the area a General Commercial and a Conditional
Zoning Agreement that addresses the need to screen the commercial uses from the residential
uses to the north and to limit the vehicular access onto Hudson Avenue in order to protect the
neighborhood from commercial traffic.

Subject: REZ11 -0008 at Hwy 1 and Hudson Avenue
Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission,
I attended the public hearing on May 5, 2011 regarding the REZ 11 -0008 and have some concerns about several
issues discussed.
1. I would not be in favor of a curb -cut allowing access on and off Hudson if it were rezoned CC -2. People
already exit from the Paul's complex by turning right onto Hwy 1, going west to Hudson, and turning right from
Hwy 1 onto Hudson Avenue. I believe this would potentially bring even more traffic into the residential area
as people could avoid Hwy 1 altogether by traveling through the Paul's complex parking to turn right onto
Hudson to cut - through to Benton. Also it could possibly create a lot of traffic congestion at the the corner of
Hudson and Hwy 1 if people wanted to use a curb -cut along Hudson to get in and out of that commercial
area. If a curb cut were permitted, it would probably need to be located far enough away from Hwy 1 to avoid
traffic congestion, but that brings vehicles in closer to the residential area.
2. Parking along the west side (Hudson side) of any building should not be part any new commercial
design. Cars parked there would be highly visible to Hudson residents. This would also bring additional noise
into a residential area with car doors slamming and the normal activities of commercial use. Lighting would
also be a concern. The same applies to placing windows on the north side of any building bordering residential
property on Hudson as there would not be enough privacy between buildings and their uses.
3. Some sort of dense vegetative (arborvitae) or fencing screen must be put into place to buffer the homes from
commercial building should the property be rezoned.
4. The house at 1012 Hudson, which will become the first house next to the property if rezoned, is set back
further from Hudson Avenue than others (see photo 1 below). This will allow more of any new commercial
building to extend out into full view of residents on Hudson. Any building higher than the existing Paul's
complex on this property would visually dominate the Hudson / Hwy 1 corner and further dwarf the home at
1012 Hudson. Building scale and design should promote a smooth transition with the small- sized,
adjacent homes on Hudson and Douglass Ct.
5. The Paul's building along Hwy 1 is located behind Douglass Ct. and is close to the property line. There is a
perception that there is a large mass of a building next to the smaller scale, affordable homes prevalent in the
neighborhood. Photos 4 and 5 below show the distance between the Paul's complex and the back yards of
homes on Douglass Ct. Applicant drawings presented show plans to continue new building along that same
line, bringing new construction again very close to residential homes. The revised Iowa City Zoning Code states
the rear lot line requires a setback at least equal to the required setback in the abutting Residential Zone which
for RS -8 would he 20'. While I believe this will be more space than currently exists between the Paul's building
and neighborhood homes, given the scale of the building compared to the homes, it doesn't feel like it's enough.
I thought it would be helpful for the commission to see photos of the area being considered for rezoning as you
decide whether to allow 1014, 1016, and 1022 to be rezoned from RS -8 to CC -2. It is difficult to get an
accurate mental picture of the dimensions and spacing involved when just looking at a zoning map of the
plats. If you are unable to see the photos or would like paper copies, please let me know.
Photo 1 - The property at 1022 Hudson, which is part of the rezoning request, is the comer lot on Hwy 1 and
Hudson Avenue. The house there, along with the vegetation except for the large tree, has already been
demonlished. The photo above is that comer looking north into the Miller Orchard neighborhood from Hwy
1. 1016 Hudson, also part of the rezoning request, is the gray house on the left. Most notable in the photo is the
house at 1012 Hudson Avenue, the small yellow house in the background with the car to its right, which is NOT
part of the rezoning and would become the new division line between RS -8 and CC -2 if the rezoning takes
place. To the far right is the Paul's complex and fencing dividing the current zonings.
Photo 2 - The photo above shows the homes at 1014 and 1016 Hudson, owned by family connected to the
applicant, which are currently zoned RS -8 and are properties in the rezoning request. You can see the current
commercial property in the far background behind the van, but these homes have large back yards (see above
photo for reference) which provides a better buffer between the RS -8 and CC -2 zones.
Photo 3 - This yellow house is located at 1012 Hudson Ave and would become located next to commerical
zoning along it's south side (right side of photo) if the rezoning is approved. Note the close proximity of the
house at 1012 and the house to its right at 1014 which would be rezoned commercial. Also 1012 is set much
further back to the rear of the lot away from the front property line.
Photo 4 - The above photo shows the property line between the commercial zoning (the back of the Paul's
Discount building) and the backyards (delineated by the fence) of homes on Douglass Ct Pro guessing it is
approximately 10 -12'.
Photo 5 - This photo was taken looking south with homes along Douglass Ct in the foreground. Paul's
building dominates the background.
Photos 6 & 7 - And finally, the next two photos are of Hudson Avenue. It is a heavily traveled cut - through with
an average daily traffic volume of 775. These traffic study figures are available in the September 2010 JCCOG
transportation study of the Miller Orchard Neighborhood. Cut - through traffic is not limited to autos.
Photo 7 - Looking south on Hudson, the corner of Hwy 1 in the far background, and with cars parked along
Hudson Avenue.
Thank you for taking the time to look at the information and photos, and I hope this helps you consider all
aspects of the impact that rezoning to CC -2 will have on the residential area adjacent to this rezoning proposal.

Subject: RE: Hudson Street
Good morning Ms Knudson — your email has been forwarded to me. You are correct that our Fiscal Year 2012 (which
begins on July 1) Work Program includes a project to assess in more detail potential changes to Miller St and Hudson Ave,
including the pros and cons of one -way designations, traffic calming, the potential for a truck embargo, changes to traffic
signal timings, etc. We will be collecting additional traffic data later this summer, and will follow up with a neighborhood
meeting to discuss options. Also included in the fiscal year 2012 budget is a project to add sidewalks in the neighborhood
to improve pedestrian accessibility. This project will likely be ready for construction in calendar year 2012.
The rezoning of the properties fronting on Hudson St include an access restriction, so there will be no direct access to
Hudson from the commercial properties.
Thanks for your note —your email will be copied to the City Council.

From: Mary Knudson, Miller Orchard Neighborhood Association
725 West Benton St.
Iowa City, Iowa 52246
Date: June 15, 2011
I am writing to request a Truck Embargo be placed on Hudson Street. The Iowa City Planning
and Zoning Commission recently approved a rezoning from Medium Density Family Single (RS-
8) zone to Community Commercial (CC -2) zone for approximately for property located at 1014,
1016 & 1022 Hudson Avenue. This rezoning Will allow the Paul's strip mall on Highway 1 to
extend to Hudson Street. I am concerned that this will result in an increase in traffic and in the
number of trucks that go down Hudson. With more businesses in this mall area, you can
expect more traffic. Because it is difficult to make a left hand turn from Hudson onto Highway
1, drivers oftentimes elect to take a right turn out of Paul's parking lot on to Highway 1, and
then turn right on Hudson to get back to Benton St. Trucks leaving Paul's may also find using
Hudson a convenience through street to Benton. There are truck tire dents on the corner
southeast corners of the city's right of way at Benton /Miller Streets and Benton /Hudson
Streets as a result of such truck traffic. A traffic study of the Miller Orchard neighborhood
shows 795 cars going on Hudson daily with the speed at the 85th percentile being 33 m.p.h.
This is even more concerning given that this street has no sidewalks. Before this zoning
change, the Transportation Plan developed by the Johnson County Council of Governments
(JCCOG — currently MPOJC) already included the need to assess traffic calming on Miller and
Hudson to help ease the high amount and speed of traffic through our residential streets. I ask
that to help attain this goal, please put a Truck Embargo on Hudson Street.

RE: A resolution extending the period of effectiveness of the preliminary plat of Stone Bridge
Estates, Parts 7, 8, and 9, Iowa City, Iowa to July 28, 2013 (SUB09- 00004).
Siting a slowdown in the housing market, John Moreland of Arlington Development has requested a
two -year extension for the preliminary plat of Stone Bridge Estates Parts 7 -9, which is due to expire
on July 28, 2011. Preliminary Plats are valid for a period of 2 years from the date of approval,
however, Iowa City's subdivision regulations allow applicants to request an extension.
The preliminary plat for Stone Bridge Estates parts 5 -9 was originally approved in 2006, but only Part
5 was final platted before the expiration date in 2008. Arlington Development then applied for a
new preliminary plat for parts 6 -9 in 2009. At that time all aspects of the plat were brought into
compliance with the new subdivision regulations with the exception of street right -of -way widths.
Part 6 has been final platted and is under construction.
The new subdivision regulations, adopted in 2008, require 60 -foot rights -of -way with 5 -foot
sidewalks. Because portions of Colchester and Arlington Drives and Chadwick Lane had already been
constructed using the old 50 -foot standard with 4 -foot sidewalks, City staff and the Planning and
Zoning Commission recommended , and Council approved the preliminary plat for Parts 6 -9 with the
continuation of these rights -of -way at the 50 -foot width. Two one -block length connector streets:
Norfolk and Liverpool Lane were also approved with the 50 -foot width. Thames Drive, which
provides a connection to undeveloped land to the east was required to meet the 60 -foot standard,
including the 5 -foot sidewalks. The plat satisfies all other current subdivision requirements.
Staff continues to support the plan for developing Stone Bridge Estates Parts 7 -9 as approved in July,
2009 and recommends approval of the 24 -month extension.

The preliminary plat for Stone Bridge Part 7, 8 and 9 were approved at the end of July, 2009. The
preliminary plats are only effective for two years. Due to the slowdown in housing I would like to ask
the council to extend parts 7,8 and 9 for two more years from the date of expiration.

Re: UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Update and Sale of 1207 Muscatine
Avenue
On July 1, the UniverCity Neighborhood Partnership Program will be selling its sixth
home which is at 1207 Muscatine Avenue. To date, all available homes have sold. The
UniverCity Program is currently renovating 11 homes (with four to be completed by the
end of June) and will be acquiring eight homes on August 1 which will bring the total to
25 homes. The renovation for all homes has to be completed by December 31, 2011.
The home at 1207 Muscatine has been one of the most visible and also one of the most
challenging for the program. The home was occupied as a rental property for nearly 20
years and suffered from many years of deferred maintenance. However, the home was
beautifully restored and quickly became an asset to the neighborhood and to the
community.
The home presented some unique and unforeseen challenges which added to the cost
of the home. For instance, we discovered a buried underground gasoline tank that
contained over 250 gallons of contaminated liquid, including gasoline, which was
estimated to be over 50 years old. We had to remove the tank and properly dispose of
the tank, in addition to environmental testing to ensure that the ground was not
contaminated. Unfortunately, the tank was partially underneath the garage so we had
to remove the garage. Also, just as the house was nearing completion, the water main
broke so we had to replace the entire water main from the house to the street.
The home is being sold for $199,000, but when you add the increased costs of the
renovation the true price is closer to $213,000. We will be using funds set aside for
affordable housing projects from the sale of a City right of way in 2007 to cover the
remaining gap of around $14,000. In addition, the homebuyers are University of Iowa
employees so they will be receiving downpayment assistance from the University. All of
the renovation expenses will be reimbursed by the State or paid for through the sale of
the home, so there will not be a cost to the City's general fund.
Despite the unexpected expenses for this home, the UniverCity program is proud of the
positive change to the neighborhood and of the partnership developed between the
City, University of Iowa, Friends of Historic Preservation, Greater Iowa City Area Home
Builders Association, Iowa City Area Association of Realtors, Hills Bank and Trust Co,
UICCU, MidWest One, First American Bank, US Bank, Hawkeye Title Services and
others during this and subsequent renovations.

A ..� MEMORANDU M b� T-4
Date: June 14, 2011
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Jeff Davidson, Director of Planning and Community Development
Re: Peninsula Development Agreement
The Peninsula Development Company has requested a short term (5 month) extension of the
deadline to purchase Phase Three of the Peninsula Neighborhood from the City. The current
Peninsula Neighborhood Development Agreement specifies that the Peninsula Development
Company will close on Phase Three by July 1.
The Peninsula Development Company recently switched from an out of town engineering firm to
MMS Consulting. The change in engineering firms and the need to update topographic,
boundary and survey computations has resulted in unforeseen delays in completing the final
plat documents. The Peninsula Development Company anticipates the revised final plat will be
submitted for review within 30 to 60 days.
Since the last amendment to the Peninsula Development Agreement the Peninsula
Development Company has made considerable progress building new homes in the
neighborhood. Ten single family homes and eleven townhouses have been built. Seventeen
homes are currently under construction. Streets and infrastructure have been installed to open
up new lots in phase 2a and landscaping and a park shelter have been added to Emma Harvat
Square.
Based on the progress of implementing the Peninsula development plan and the short term of
the requested extension, staff recommends approval.

Iowa City, Iowa
To: Mayor of Iowa City and City Council,
This letter is in regards to formally requesting an extension to the upcoming purchase of
phase 3 of the Peninsula Subdivision in Iowa City. As you may know, the engineering firm that
has been involved in this subdivision since the beginning no longer is performing residential
engineering. McClure Engineering from North Liberty announced to us in April 2011 that they
could not longer provide their services to our company. Regretfully, all plans that were
underway with McClure their company was forced to abandon and leave to the next employed
firm to take over. This event has left the Peninsula in a state of repetition and restart for many
properties concerning any engineering aspects. Thankfully, MMS Consultants of Iowa City
happily agreed to take on this project and has performed to the best of their ability to get us back
on track. Unfortunately, we have had to spend some time re- surveying the land and re- siting
properties due to a lack of information shared during the transfer of companies and individual
company policies. With that said the Peninsula is moving forward and is nearly on track for the
next phase purchase. Due to the above mentioned circumstance we are asking for a short
extension in the deadline to ensure accurate plans depicting the final layout of the subdivision
from an architectural and engineering standpoint.
The following is an overview of the progress that has been made since January 2010, by
the Peninsula Development Company, under the new management of Patrick Stewart, in the
Peninsula Neighborhood Subdivision.
1. All infrastructures for phase 2A Peninsula. Streets, sewer, electrical, and other

The Peninsula Development Company is not only happy with our recent sales but we are
also dedicated to seeing this project completed. We have taken pride in helping construct this
unique subdivision with its timeless styled homes, and have also been proactive in helping
develop the community that is the Peninsula Neighborhood. Alongside the efforts of Alan
Swanson and Adam Pretorius at Blank and McCune we have hosted seasonal parties (spring
party, summer party, Oktoberfest and the annual Christmas party) and movie nights in the park.
We host and are a part of the Neighborhood association board and continually receive and act on
ideas that have potential to improve the community.
We look forward to the purchase of the final phases of the subdivision and believe now
that we have reached a "critical mass" the area will only grow faster and stronger. The Peninsula
Development Company is not only ready for the task, but look forward to it as well.
Thank you,

MEMORANDUM
To: City Manager
From: Jeff Davidson
Date: June 14, 2011
Re: Agenda Item: Resolution of Necessity for Proposed Amendment to Scott Six Urban
Renewal Area
Introduction: A Resolution of Necessity is the first step to establish or amend an Urban Renewal
Area. This Resolution of Necessity for an amendment to the Scott Six Urban Renewal Area sets
into motion the subsequent steps of requiring the Planning and Zoning Commission to review
and recommend the plan, of holding a consultation with other taxing jurisdictions in the county,
and of setting a date for a Public Hearing on the plan.
History /background: The original Scott Six Urban Renewal Area was established in 1997 and
contained approximately 152 acres. The proposed amendment would add approximately 188
acres to the Scott Six Urban Renewal Area and include all of the land the City purchased in 2008
to make available for industrial development.
Discussion of Solution: The amended area will allow for an orderly expansion of the City's
industrial park and provide the ability to use tax increment financing to assist in building the
required infrastructure and /or in providing incentives to industrial users.
Recommendations: Staff recommends approving the Resolution of Necessity to enable a review
of the plan by the Planning and Zoning Commission, a consultation with the other taxing
entities and to set a Public Hearing on plan.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 15, 2011
To: City Manager
From: John Yapp, Acting Human Services Coordinator 7"''`/
Re: Aid to Agencies funding sub - allocation
Introduction and background: The resolution allocating financial aid to human service
agencies authorizes the sub - allocation of funds to human service agencies serving Iowa
City residents. Iowa City has budgeted funds in the FY12 Budget for Human Services
Aid to Agencies. The Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) has
recommended the sub - allocation of these funds in the amount of $422,950.
On January 6, 2011 HCDC recommendation included a contingency fund of $7,197 and
Lifeskills allocation of $1,500. After the HCDC recommendation, we were notified of cuts
to the CDBG program, over budgeting of the general fund allocation, and that Lifeskills
(a mental health human services agency) closed in May. On April 21, 2011 HCDC
recommended the removal of the contingency fund and the removal of funding for
Lifeskills. The funding allocation recommendation from the Housing and Community
Development Commission is attached to the resolution.
Discussion of alternatives: This is the first year that these funding recommendations
have been made by the Housing and Community Development Commission; in oast
years, these funding recommendations have been made by a subcommittee of the City
Council. For this year's process, Council had directed that the funding recommendation
be made by HCDC. Council has the option to sub - allocate these funds differently from
the HCDC recommendation.
HCDC has recommended that for next year's process, funding priorities be more
explicitly based on City and /or United Way priorities.
Recommendation: Staff recommends the sub - allocation of funds consistent with the
HCDC recommendation, which is attached to the resolution.

INTER - DEPARTMENT MEMO
TO: Tom Markus, City Manager
FROM: Chief Sam Hargadine
RE: Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant Notification
DATE: June 15, 2011
06 -21 -11
18
The Iowa City Police Department in partnership with the Johnson County Sheriffs Office
is making application for the 2011 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Grant administered
by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, U.S. Department of Justice.
The Departments were notified that they are eligible to apply for $52,932.00. It has
been agreed that the Iowa City Police Department will take responsibility for application
and management of this grant. In return, Iowa City will receive 52% of the funds
($27,525.00) and Johnson County will receive 48% ($25407.00).
The Iowa City Police Department would like to allocate the $27,525.00 for the purchase
of equipment designed to enhance Police capabilities to identify, document, process,
and collect physical evidence at crime scenes.
The Police Department would like to expand on its ability to process physical evidence,
and has been exploring funding options to remodel the crime lab. If approved, this
funding would significantly enhance the Police Department's ability to effectively
process physical evidence. The current forensic evidence processing equipment
maintained by the Iowa City Police Department is aged and in need of replacement.
Additionally, new equipment would allow Officers on the Department to utilize recent
technological advances in forensic evidence processing.
In accordance with the Justice Assistance Grant application, the application will be on
file for review no less than 30 days. This memo serves to notify the City Manager and
City Council of the opportunity to review the application of these funds and provide an
opportunity for public comment.

First Avenue Storm Sewer Improvements Project Consultant
Agreement — June 21
This project will construct storm sewer improvements near First Avenue, between the
Lower Muscatine Road Reconstruction Project and the First Avenue Grade Separation
Project. Foth Infrastructure and Environment, LLC will be providing consulting services
for preliminary and final design of the plans and specifications for the project.
In the past, First Avenue has experienced flooding near the existing box culvert that
crosses under First Avenue south of Mall Drive. In addition, the mini -mall located at
1705 First Avenue has experienced flooding from the open ditch located behind the
building. The proposed storm sewer improvements are intended to address these
issues, as well as accommodating storm water from the proposed Lower Muscatine
Road Reconstruction and First Avenue Grade Separation projects, to reduce the
frequency of flooding at these locations in the future.
It is anticipated that the project will be designed and constructed in two phases. Phase 1
will include new storm sewer to replace the open ditch behind the mini -mall at 1705 First
Avenue. Phase 2 will include storm sewer improvements from the northeast end of the
ditch behind the mini -mall to the existing culvert east of First Avenue where storm water
flows onto the Proctor and Gamble site. Construction of Phase 1 is expected to occur in
the Fall of 2011, and construction of Phase 2 is anticipated during the 2012 construction
season.

MEMORANDUM
Date: June 15, 2011
To: City Council
From: Thomas M. Markus, City
Re: Changes in the City Manager's Office
Introduction: Upon assuming the City Manager's position, I was made aware that; 1) Kathi
Johansen was intending to move out of state pending the sale of her home; and 2) the Assistant
City Manager Dale Helling was contemplating retirement in the not too distant future.
Additionally, I have appointed an intern who will work in the City Manager's office.
History /Background: Kathi Johansen has worked for the City for approximately 10 years.
Ms. Johansen has served as Administrative Assistant to the City Manager since December
2003. Ms. Johansen is a valued employee whose service will be missed. We wish Kathi and
her husband Curt all the best in their move to Ohio. A copy of the internal position vacancy for
the Administrative Assistant to the City Manager position is attached for your information
(Attachment #1). We have altered the position slightly; our hope is to attract someone who may
have a desire to pursue a City Manager career track and that this position would create an entry
into that career path.
Dale Helling has worked for the City for 36 years. Mr. Helling has served as Assistant City
Manager since August 1978. Mr. Helling has also served on occasion as the Acting City
Manager. Mr. Helling is a skilled and valued employee. His loyalty to Iowa City is exceptional.
It is because of his loyalty and commitment to Iowa City that Mr. Helling has continued to serve
the City beyond his intended retirement date. But as is with all good things Mr. Helling's service
as Assistant City Manager will come to an end. Mr. Helling is contemplating retirement prior to
the end of calendar year 2011. His actual retirement date is not yet specifically determined
because Mr. Helling is working with me to insure an orderly transition of staffing in the
manager's office. In an effort to both streamline and reduce costs in the manager's office I am
proposing to change the title, responsibilities, and pay grade of the position that will replace the
Assistant City Manager position after Mr. Helling's retirement. This issue is discussed in more
detail later in this report and will require Council action. (Attachment #2 and #3)
Additionally, I would like to announce and welcome our new intern to the City Manager's office.
Adam Bentley is an Iowa City native and graduated from Iowa City High School in 2004. He
attended the University of Northern Iowa where he studied political science, was a Resident
Assistant, and served as Student Body Vice - President before graduating with his bachelor's
degree in 2008. In August of 2008, he began working for the President's Office at UNI as
Coordinator of the College Hill Partnership, a non - profit urban revitalization organization, while
completing his Master's degree in public policy. After graduating with his Master's in 2010, he
moved to Wichita Kansas where he participated in a management fellowship program under the
direction of City Manager Robert Layton. Adam enjoys spending time with his family in Iowa
City, volunteering for community organizations, and remaining physically active.
Discussion of proposed changes /solution: In an effort to reduce costs in the manager's
office and provide for future professional growth and recognition I am recommending a change
in the position of Assistant City Manager. A new position titled Assistant to the City Manager
will be created and the existing position of Assistant City Manager will be eliminated. A
summary of changes made to create the Assistant to the City Manager position are as follows:
June 15, 2011
Page 2
1. Reassigned from Executive pay grade 34 to Administrative pay grade 31.
2. Removed supervisory responsibility for Civil Rights, Human Resources, and Cable TV
divisions.
3. Removed responsibilities related to labor relations and collective bargaining.
4. Shifted main focus toward assisting City Manager with Council initiatives and special
projects /assignments.
The pay plan will be amended to; a) eliminate one full -time Assistant City Manager position
(Executive grade 34) and; b) create one full -time Assistant to the City Manager position
(Administrative grade 31). The resulted annual savings should equate to $26,475.
In addition to the savings, I believe; 1) the position will result in a larger pool of candidates being
eligible for the position, and; 2) will result in potential growth for a candidate. For example, if the
candidate is with the City for a long enough period of time we have the ability to go back to the
previous arrangement whereas an assistant manager position is added back to the staff and
potentially allow for internal growth for the new assistant to the manager position. Further, this
will create the opportunity for the management staff to plan for an internal succession possibility
so that a future City Council has the opportunity to consider both internal and external
candidates for future city manager considerations.
Recommendation: It is my recommendation that City Council approve the attached
resolution amending the budgeted position in the City Manager' s Office of the Administrative
Office Department and the Executive and Administrative Pay Plan by deleting the Assistant City
Manager position and adding an Assistant to the City Manager position. This change would be
effective upon the retirement of the current Assistant City Manager position.
