MEMORANDUM
Date: September 29, 2011
To: Planning and Zoning Commission
From: Sara Greenwood Hektoen
Re: Saddlebrook Addition, Part 2 Subdivider's Agreement Amendment
The Paddock, L.L.C., the developer of Saddlebrook Addition, Part 2, has requested that the
Subdivider's Agreement be amended to address the construction of secondary access to this
development and to eliminate the requirement for an escrow to be provided to the City for the
completion of the Heinz Road.
The current subdivider's agreement requires the Developer to install secondary vehicular access
via Pinto Lane at such time as specific buildings are constructed. Additionally, it requires the
Developer provide to the City an escrow for the public improvements to be installed within the
Heinz Road right -of -way, including the pavement, because a building permit has been issued
prior to the completion of these improvements. This is meant to enable the City to complete such
improvements at the Developer's expense in the event that the Developer fails to do so. At the
time this agreement was made, no dwelling units were planned to be constructed along that
portion of Heinz Road that remains incomplete.
Staff recommends approving this amendment for the following reasons. Approximately 417
dwellings have been constructed in this development. The only means of vehicular access is via
Heinz Road, causing health and safety concerns. This amendment now requires that secondary
access via Pinto Lane be installed before the Developer obtains any more building permits for
this subdivision. Changes to the Planned Development Plan now show future dwelling units to be
constructed along Heinz Road, thus providing the Developer with an incentive to build Heinz
Road and reducing the need for the City to have access to escrowed funds to complete the
project. This amendment obligates the Developer to install the remaining extension Heinz Road
prior to issuance of any building permit for any unit abutting Heinz Road.
September 27, 2011
Request to amend Subdividers Agreement Saddlebrook Addition, Part 2
The developers of Saddlebrook are requesting the attached amendment to the Subdividers
Agreement Saddlebrook Addition, Part 2. be adopted.
Heinz Rd. is part of a planned development and will naturally develop as the units along
it develop. Secondary access to Saddlebrook has also been established by the
development of Pinto Lane to Whispering Meadows Lane. Therefore the developers of
Saddlebrook are requesting that the attached Amendment to the Subdividers Agreement
Saddlebrook Addition, Part II be adopted to remove the undue burden of the required
letter of credit for Heinz Rd.
We appreciate your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Steve Gordon

SECOND AMENDMENT TO SUBDIVIDER'S AGREEMENT
SADDLEBROOK ADDITION, PART 2
(including a resubdivision of Lot 4 of Saddlebrook Addition, Part 1)
WHEREAS, the City of Iowa City ( "City ") and The Paddock, L.L.C. (collectively
"Subdivider ") entered into a Subdivider's Agreement for the above - referenced
subdivision, dated February 6, 2001, which is recorded at Book 3037, Page 322,
et seq., of the records of the Johnson County Recorder ( "Agreement "); and
WHEREAS, on October 3, 2006, the City and Subdivider did agree to an
amendment to said Agreement for the purpose of modifying Subdivider's
obligation regarding secondary vehicular access to the subdivision. Said
Amendment was approved by Council in Resolution 06 -319 and recorded at on
October 6, 2006 in Book 4090, Page 108, et seq., of the records of the Johnson
County Recorder; and
WHEREAS, City Staff has public health and safety concerns regarding the
delayed construction of secondary access to this subdivision; and
WHEREAS, changes to the Planned Development Plan, approved by Ordinance
04 -4108, particularly regarding the development of dwelling units along Heinz
Road, make it no longer necessary for the City to retain a letter of credit to insure
that Subdivider will install the remaining portion of Heinz Road; and
WHEREAS, the City and Subdivider now wish to make a second amendment to
said Subdivider's Agreement to address these changes in circumstance.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, it is hereby
agreed that the Amendment to Subdivider's Agreement, Saddlebrook Addition
Part 2, dated October 3, 2006, and recorded at Book 4090, Page 108 -113, in the
Records of Johnson County, Iowa, Recorder, is hereby revoked and shall have
no further effect.
It is further agreed by the parties that:
1. Section 1, Paragraph A of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following:
A. Except as allowed pursuant to Section 3 below, the City shall not issue
any building permit on any of the lots in the Subdivision unless and
until public water mains, public sanitary sewers, public storm sewers,
public drainage swales, tile lines and public concrete paving
(collectively "Public Improvements ") have been installed in the
Subdivision as required by the City's Subdivision Ordinance and until
said Public Improvements have been accepted by the City. Heinz
Road shall be paved with concrete at least 31 feet in width, and
Shetland Land and that portion of Mustang Lane east of Heinz Road
shall be paved with concrete at least 28 feet in width.
2. Section 3 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
Section 3. Building Permits and Escrow Monies. In the event that the
Subdivider, its assigns or successors in interest, should desire a building
permit for any unit or building that is not adjacent to Heinz Road south of
Shetland Lane before the improvements required in Section IA, IB and IC
have been installed and accepted by the City, the Subdivider, its assigns
or successors in interest, shall deposit with the City Clerk in escrow an
amount equal to 110% of the cost of said improvements as determined by
the City Engineer, except as allowed below.
The public improvements escrow allowed above shall not include the cost
of the public improvements, as determined by the City Engineer, required
to be installed within the Heinz Road right -of -way.
In no event shall a building permit be issued for any unit or building
adjacent to Heinz Road south of Shetland Lane (namely, Building
Numbers 13 -31, as shown on the approved Sensitive Areas site Plan and
Final OPDH, an Amendment to Saddlebrook Addition Part 2- Lots 4 -8)
until such time as the public improvements within the Heinz Road right -of-
way have been installed and accepted by the City.
In addition to the escrow provided above, if Subdivision erosion control
measures have not been installed with ground cover established by
growth, the City may require as a condition to the issuance of the first
building permit for construction of Lot 6 (one deposit required) and the first
building permit for construction on Lots 5, 7 or 8 (one deposit required),
that the Subdivider deposit in escrow with the City the sum of $2,000 to
cover the past or anticipated future cost of cleaning public streets, storm
sewers, gutters or catch basins, the cleaning of which may be
necessitated as a result of erosion from any lot or lots owned by the
Subdivider or its successor in interest. The unused balance of the erosion
cleanup escrow established herein shall be returned to the Subdivider
after erosion control measures have been installed, and ground cover
established by growth. If the escrow is insufficient to pay the costs
incurred, the Subdivider shall promptly reimburse the City for the excess
costs incurred. The Subdivider shall be responsible for the costs of such
cleaning and to the extent that the Subdivider fails to accomplish cleanup
after reasonable notice from the City, the City is hereby authorized to do
such work and to charge the cost thereof to the erosion cleanup escrow
established; provided that nothing herein shall be construed as requiring
the City to do such cleanup.
When the foregoing escrow funds have been deposited, the Building
Inspector of the City may issue a building permit accordingly, provided that
the Subdivider complies with all other contractual, statutory and ordinance
requirements and provided that secondary access has been constructed
pursuant to Section 10.A below.
3. Section 10.A of the Amendment to Subdivider's Agreement (which
deleted and replaced Section 10.A of the Agreement), is deleted in its
entirety and replaced with the following:
A. Limitation on Units Pending Secondary Access
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that secondary access

Part Three via Pinto Lane and Whispering Meadows Drive, as shown on
the Final Plat of Saddlebrook Meadows Part I, recorded in Plat Book 49,
Page 3 in the records of the Johnson County, Iowa Recorder, shall be
constructed prior to issuance of any building permits for new dwelling units
for Saddlebrook Addition, Part 2 requested subsequent to the execution of
this Second Amendment.
4. Section 10.13 of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety.
The Parties acknowledge that the City currently possesses Letter of Credit
No. 549 pursuant to Section 10.13 of the Agreement, issued by MidWestOne
Bank in the amount of $868,864.88 on October 8, 2010. The City hereby agrees
to release and make no attempt to draw monies from said Letter of Credit. The
Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that the City shall have no obligation to
compensate or otherwise reimburse Subdivider for said Letter of Credit.

Section I- Introduction
This Riverfront Crossings Urban Renewal Plan ( "Plan ") for the Riverfront Crossings
Urban Renewal Area ( "Urban Renewal Area" or "Area ") has been developed to help
local officials reduce blighted areas and promote economic development within Iowa
City, Iowa. The primary goal of the plan is to stimulate, through public involvement and
commitment, private investment in the revitalization of the Riverfront Crossings Urban
Renewal Area.
The goals outlined in this Riverfront Crossings Urban Renewal Plan include the
following, which include goals detailed in the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan — 1997, as
amended:
• Remediation of blighted areas;
• Diversify and increase the property tax base by (1) encouraging the retention and
expansion of existing businesses and (2) attracting businesses that have growth
potential and are compatible with existing businesses;
• Increase employment opportunities consistent with the available labor force;
• Provide and protect areas suitable for future commercial development;
• Improve the environmental and economic health of the community through the
efficient use of resources;
• Consider financial incentives and programs to facilitate achieving the above goals;
• Focus commercial development in defined commercial centers;
• Increase sidewalk and trail connectivity to promote walkability and encourage
bicycling and other alternative forms of transportation;
• Improve connections between commercial retail uses and adjacent residential
neighborhoods, and
• Beautify the commercial corridor through better landscaping and streetscaping,
rehabilitation of old buildings and improvement of building facades.
In order to make development sites attractive to new and expanding businesses,
communities are frequently called upon to provide financial incentives and programs.
Other development sites in the metro area, which already cater to commercial and office
uses, make tax increment financing available to qualifying businesses. The City has
identified the Riverfront Crossings Urban Renewal Area to be a blighted area, as defined
by Iowa Code 403.17 (2011). It is in the interest of its citizens to provide financial
incentives and programs in order to encourage blight remediation and revitalization of
such areas.
Redevelopment of property within the the Riverfront Crossings Urban Renewal Area was
of particular interest to residents of the Miller Orchard neighborhood due west of
Riverside Drive during the planning of the Miller Orchard Neighborhood Plan in the Fall
of 2008 and Spring of 2009. Residents of the neighborhood expressed a desire for
reinvestment in the Riverside commercial area, with better streetscapes and landscapes
and increased diversity of businesses. Commercial redevelopment of this area would
coincide with the residential neighborhood improvements occurring as part of the Miller
3
Orchard neighborhood plan.
The Riverfront Crossings Urban Renewal Plan is one component of broader
redevelopment efforts that will eventually encompass the east side of the Iowa River.
Those broader redevelopment efforts are plarined to include significant investment in new
residential, mixed -use and commercial properties.
The City intends to make available the use of tax increment financing as a means to
finance the construction of some of the necessary public infrastructure improvements
within the Riverfront Crossings Urban Renewal Area. In addition, the City may make
available the use of tax increment financing to provide direct grants, loans, rebates or
other incentives for qualifying commercial or residential developments that help achieve
the goals and objectives set forth herein.
To achieve the primary objectives of this Plan, the City of Iowa City shall undertake the
urban renewal actions as specified in this Urban Renewal Plan, pursuant to the powers
granted to it under Chapters 15A and 403 of the 2011 Code of Iowa, as amended.
Section 2- District Designation
With the adoption of this Plan, Iowa City designates this Urban Renewal Area as as
appropriate for elimination and remediation of blight.
This Urban Renewal Area is located within the Southwest District of the City. The
Southwest District Plan, a component of Iowa City's Comprehensive Plan, addresses the
need for changes and improvements in this area, citing the lack of attention to the
interface between commercial and residential uses having contributed to general
disinvestment and declining property values in the Southwest District. Updated in 2002,
the Southwest District Plan calls for buildings that would better blend the business with
the residential neighborhood. The 2008 flood of the Iowa River exceeded the 100 -year
flood level and inundated much of the Urban Renewal Area. Most of the area east of
Riverside Drive and much of the area west of Riverside Drive was under water for a
period of approximately 30 days. This event exacerbated the blighted condition of this
Urban Renewal Area.
Several buildings west of the Iowa River and east of Riverside Drive were inundated in
the historic flood of 2008 causing several businesses to close or relocate and necessitating
considerable rehabilitation of existing buildings. Although there are a few properties that
rebuilt after the flood or are of newer construction, a substantial number of structures and
properties are appropriate for blight remediation.
In addition, many properties along Orchard Street south of Benton Street and along either
side of Riverside Drive sit on small lots that do not provide adequate or attractive spaces
for development. These lots also lack efficient access from neighboring streets and are
plagued by restricted traffic flow. The configuration of Sturgis Corner Drive off of
Riverside Drive has contributed to the accessibility problems in particular for businesses
E
in the southeast portion of the Urban Renewal Area. The overall lot configuration and
lack of accessibility reduces the usefulness of these properties, leading to a general
diminution of property values.
The disinvestment that has plagued the Urban Renewal Area is circular; the decision by
existing property owners to not reinvest in their property reduces the likelihood that
neighboring property owners will choose to invest. This cycle, spurred on by the flood of
2008, inadequate lot sizes, poor traffic flow and lack of site accessibility, substantially
impairs or arrests the sound growth of this area, constitutes an economic and social
liability in its present condition and use.
The Area does contain several well - established, successful businesses that nevertheless
do not conform with the City's current design standards, and may benefit from substantial
rehabilitation or redevelopment of certain site improvements. Access from Riverside
Drive is difficult due to lack of turn lanes and proliferation of driveways in the corridor.
Sidewalk accessibility is discontinuous and inadequately designed. Curb ramps are
inconsistent and absent in places. Landscaping and pedestrian amenities are nearly
nonexistent. Cross - access easements between lots are largely absent. All of these features
could be enhanced through incentives enabled by the Urban Renewal Area, which would
foster economic development in the area.
Overall, the area is designated for blight remediation due to the presence of a substantial
number of deteriorated or deteriorating structures, defective or inadequate street layout,
faulty lot layout in relation to size, adequacy, accessibility or usefulness, deterioration of
sites, and the existence of conditions which endanger property by various causes,
including a combination of the foregoing factors. Such conditions substantially impair or
arrest the sound growth of the City, retard the provision of housing accommodations, or
constitute an economic or social liability and are a menace to the public health, safety or
welfare of the City in the area's present condition and use.
Section 3- Base Value
If the Riverfront Crossings Urban Renewal Area is legally established and debt is
certified prior to December 1, 2011, the taxable valuation within the Area as of January 1,
2010 will be considered the "base valuation ". If the debt is not certified until a later date,
the "base value" will be the assessed value of the taxable property in the Urban Renewal
Area as of January 1 of the calendar year preceding the calendar year in which the City
first certifies the amount of any debt.
Section 4- Urban Renewal Plan Objectives
The overall goal of this Plan is to formulate and execute a workable program using public
and private resources to develop the Urban Renewal Area for retail, office, and other
commercial or residential uses. The following objectives are hereby established for the
proposed Urban Renewal Project Area:
5
• To assist with blight remediation efforts;
• To encourage and support development that will expand the taxable values of
property within the Urban Renewal Project Area;
• To reverse the deterioration of commercial properties within the Urban Renewal
Project Area;
■ To encourage new development of commercial businesses in the Urban Renewal
Project Area, in particular high - quality restaurants, retail stores to serve the
surrounding community, banks and hotels.;
■ To make public improvements as deemed necessary by the City to support
commercial and recreational activity within the Urban Renewal Project Area;
■ To provide financial incentives and assistance to qualifying projects and businesses as
necessary;
■ To continue redevelopment along the Iowa River;
■ To assist and promote development of green space and recreation trails along the
Iowa River;
■ To establish an attractive, vibrant southern highway corridor to the city;
■ To provide for the orderly physical and economic growth of the city;
■ To provide other support as allowed under Iowa Code Chapters 15, 15A and 403.

finance these private site improvements, at City Council's discretion. Any
development projects receiving tax increment financing or other public
funding assistance may be subject to review by the Staff Design Review
Committee. Design review approval may be based on compliance with design
consistent with the goals of the Southwest District Plan. In addition, the City
Council may designate Riverside Drive a "Design Review District," whereby
all improvements to buildings or property within the district would be subject
to Design Review according to the aforementioned design guidelines;
9. Public Infrastructure Improvements: Public infrastructure improvements may
include, but are not limited to, storm water management facilities, public

Council on a case by case basis.
Section 7- Conformance with Land Use Policy and Zoning Ordinance
Comprehensive Plan
7
The Urban Renewal Area is located within the area designated by the Iowa City
Comprehensive Plan as the Southwest Planning District. The Iowa City Comprehensive
Plan designates the Urban Renewal Project Area as appropriate for general commercial
and residential uses.
This Plan is consistent with the Iowa City Comprehensive Plan, particularly the
Southwest District Plan, last amended in 2002.
Current and Proposed Zoning and Land Uses
The Area is currently zoned CC -2, as defined by the Iowa City Zoning Code. The current
land use for the project area is commercial. The proposed land uses include retail, office,
and other commercial uses permitted in the CC -2 zones. The City may amend its zoning
code to create a new Design Review District and /or a new, mixed -use zoning
classification appropriate for Riverside Drive and may rezone the area to be so
designated. Any rezoning to this area, including the creation of a new zoning category
under the Zoning Code, will be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Section 8- Relocation
The City does not expect there to be any relocation required of residents or businesses as
part of the proposed urban renewal projects; however, if any relocation is necessary, the
City will follow all applicable relocation requirements.

tax increment debt to be incurred (including direct grants, loans, advances,
indebtedness, or bonds) for projects over time has not yet been determined, it is
anticipated that the cost of the Proposed Projects and activities identified in
Section 6 above will be between $5 to $10 million. In no event will debt be
incurred that would exceed the City's debt capacity. It is further expected that
loans, advances, indebtedness or bonds to be incurred for the Proposed Projects or
subsequent projects, including interest on the same, will be financed in whole or
in part with tax increment revenues from the Urban Renewal Area. The City
Council will consider each request for financial assistance or a project proposal on
a case -by -case basis to determine if it is in the City's best interest to participate.
Section 10- Urban Renewal Plan Amendments
This Urban Renewal Plan may be amended from time to time for a number of reasons,
including, but not limited to changes in the boundary, to add or change land use controls
or regulations, to modify goals or types of renewal activities, or to amend property
acquisition and disposition provisions.

providing public notice, holding a public hearing on the proposed change, and
undertaking other required actions, all in conformance with applicable state and local
laws.
Section 11 - Property Acquisition /Disposition
The City may provide incentives for land acquisition in the Area. The City will follow
applicable procedures for the acquisition and disposition of property.
Section 12 - Effective Period

To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Doug Boothroy, Director of Housing and Inspection Services
Tim Hennes, Senior Building Inspectd?` —OA-
Re: Proposed Revisions to the Iowa City Board of Appeals By -Laws
ISSUE:
Amending the Iowa City Board of Appeals By -Laws by revising the current membership criteria
to allow City Council more flexibility in appointing members and by reducing the membership
from seven (7) members to five (5) members.
DISCUSSION:
Attempts to recruit Board candidates through permit contacts, the Home Builders Association,
six (6) postings in the newspaper, and continuous Web and City Council Agenda postings
advertising the vacancies have proven unsuccessful. The results of this effort only produced two
inquiries and no application for Council consideration. The first candidate did not live within the
corporate limits of Iowa City and it was determined the second candidate's work responsibilities
at a local architbctural firm presented a conflict of interest to serve on the Board of Appeals.
The seven member Board was established in 1995 as a result of consolidating the Plumbing,
Electrical and Board of Appeals boards. The consolidation maintained the individual trade
representation on the Board and added representatives from the Home Builders Association
and a design professional. Vacancies have left the board with only five (5) members since
December of 2010. On December 31, 2008 the mechanical professional position expired and
the design professional seat has been vacant since December of 2010.
Reducing the board membership to five (5) members and providing membership selection
flexibility would make it easier to maintain full board membership and allow Council to appoint
persons who are qualified to pass on matters pertaining to the built environment.
The Board of Appeals, at their August 1, 2011 meeting, voted unanimously to amend their By-
Laws by:
1. Reducing the membership to five (5) members; and
2. If a qualified trade representative does not submit an application within three (3) months
of the announcement of the vacancy, a member may be appointed who is qualified by
experience and training to pass on matters pertaining to building construction; and
3. A maximum of two members may be appointed who are not eligible electors of Iowa City
if they are owners or employees of a trade contracting business located in Iowa City and
if a qualified trade applicant, who is an eligible elector, has not submitted an application
within three (3) months of the announcement of vacancy.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff supports the first two Board recommendations but does not recommend allowing non-
residents to serve as members of the Board of Appeals.
Current members will be permitted to complete existing terms.

MEMORANDUM
Date: September 15, 2011
e
To: Tom Markus, City Manager
From: Bob Hardy, Cable Television Administrato
Re: Subject - Council Approval of the new administrative position of Media Production Services
Coordinator.
Introduction: This is a resolution to approve the conversion of the current AFSME position of
Community Programmer to the administrative position of Media Production Services
Coordinator (MPSC).
History: The Community Programmer position was created in the 1996 to staff a stand -alone
Unit of the Cable Division. The Unit's mission was to service the needs of Iowa City non - profit
organizations for cable production and community communication that had been identified
during the cable television franchise renewal process of that period. The Unit became known as
the Community Television Service or CTS.
In 2008 when the Cable Television Administrator's position was restored to full -time, the Cable
Division started a period or reorganization of video production services. The goal has been to
design a more efficient and effective video production process to increase both quantity and
quality of government and community programming. The concept of separate units for separate
clients has been abandoned in favor of a more unified approach.
Increasingly in this process, the Community Programmer has taken on the role of manager of
production services and supervisor of both permanent full -time and temporary part-time staff. At
the same time it has also become evident that there is a need to establish a clear line of authority
in times of absence of the Cable Television Administrator, a role currently also being performed
by the Community Programmer. In both cases, such duties and responsibilities are more
appropriately exercised by administrative staff resulting in a need for the requested change in the
position.
Recommendation: Staff requests that Council approve the resolution.
