The City has received a petition from residents of Brookside Drive between Willow Street and Friendship
Street to have this section of roadway considered for Iowa City's Traffic Calming Program. The City
completed a traffic study and determined that traffic volumes exceed the minimum levels of traffic
required for the program and the 85th- percentile speeds of traffic are 5 mph over the posted speed limit of
25 mph.
A neighborhood meeting was held on October 19th, 2011 to discuss traffic concerns and possible options
to address them including on- street parking changes, speed humps, additional warning signage, traffic
circles, and radar feedback signs. It was the consensus of the group to install "curve warning" signs with
a 15 mph advisory speed near the sharp corner on Brookside Drive between Alpine Drive and Clover
Street. These signs will be installed in the upcoming weeks, weather permitting. In the spring, a follow up
traffic study will be completed and the results will be provided to the neighborhood. If the neighborhood
wishes, we can reconvene to discuss traffic calming options at that time.

Thank you for sharing with me your concerns regarding proposals to lift the population
threshold designation for metropolitan planning organizations (MPO) in the upcoming
reauthorization of surface transportation legislation.
I share your concerns about this proposal and the impact that it would have on
transportation planning in much of Iowa. MPOs are mandated by the Federal Government
to improve planning and in doing so assume a variety of critical roles, including: ensuring
that scarce transportation dollars are spent wisely; helping regions plan for and develop a
shared vision of the future; and facilitating collaboration among all parties and forge
consensus on new projects. Eliminating funding for MPOs in more sparsely populated areas
would make effective planning much more difficult.
I believe that the current threshold designation for MPO funding should be retained in the
surface transportation reauthorization bill. Rest assured that I will your thoughts in mind as
the process moves forward here in the Senate.
Thanks for getting touch. Please contact me in the future with any other questions or
concerns.
Sincerely,

It is with pleasure I am sending you the results of our study of LED school zone signs
implemented in Iowa City. These signs were funded with a $12,595 Iowa DOT Traffic Safety
Improvement Grant (CS -TSF- 3715(647)- 85 -52) in order to evaluate the effectiveness of such
signs at established school zones with poor compliance of the school zone speed limit.
Our study found the LED school zone signs were effective in reducing 85th percentile speeds
within school zones in four of the six locations studied. 85th percentile speeds, however,
continue to be well above the school zone speed limit. We intend to conduct an additional speed
study in 2012 to gauge the long -term effectiveness of the LED school zone signs and to see if
more targeted use of the flashing LED lights (targeted to peak pedestrian times for before and
after school pedestrian traffic) is more effective.

Introduction
This memorandum documents a speed study for three school zones in Iowa City. The impetus
for this study was the procurement of a grant from the State of Iowa that provided funding for
installing light- emitting diode (LED) school speed zone signs in order to determine their
effectiveness at slowing down motorists in school zones. This information was then compared
to historic data when no LED signs were present.
Existing Conditions
Benton Street is a two -lane road that is functionally classified as an arterial street. Arterial
streets serve to carry longer- distance flows between important centers of activity'. Horn and
Roosevelt schools are both located on Benton Street. Weber Elementary is located on Rohert
Road, which is also classified as an arterial street. The posted speed limit outside the school
zones are 25 mph on Benton Street and 35 mph on Rohert Road.
The LED school speed zone signs (Figure 1) were posted in
place of the previous signs that did not have LEDs. The school
speed zone for Roosevelt School on Benton Street exists
between Hudson Avenue and Greenwood Drive (Figure 2). For
Ernest Horn Elementary, the school speed zone exists between
Sunset Street and Denbigh Drive (Figure 3) and the Irving Weber
Elementary school speed zone exists between Goldenrod Drive
and Wild Prairie Drive (Figure 4).

FLASHING 1—
A speed study was completed at each school zone that received an LED sign. Speed studies
were also completed in 2007 before the LED signs were installed. Therefore, it was possible to
compare the before and after speeds to determine if the LED signs were effective. The results
are located in the appendix, while the summary is described below.
Roosevelt Elementary- MPOJC placed four traffic speed counters on Benton Street near
Roosevelt Elementary to record daily traffic volumes and speeds over a 72 hour period from
11:00 AM on 9/18/2007 to 11:00 AM on 9/21/2007 and over a 48 hour period from 11:00 AM on
4/27/11 to 11:00 AM on 4/29/11. The posted speed limit in the school zone is currently 20 mph
between 8 AM and 5 PM. The results of the study are shown in Table 1.

The posted speed limit in the school zone is currently 20 mph between 8 AM and 5 PM. The
results of the study are shown in Table 2.

Conclusions
The speed study results show that the LED signs have been somewhat effective in slowing
down traffic in school zones. The ADT counts for each zone were very similar (less than 5%
difference), while the 85th percentile speeds changed very little and continued to be well above
the posted speed limit. Therefore, it may be necessary to review the timing of the illumination of
the LED signs. We recommend further study to determine if the illumination should be targeted
to the peak pedestrian times in school speed zones, between 7am and 9am and 2pm and 5pm
(ICCSD starts at 8:30 and ends at 3).

Subject: 2011 fall plant report - final
Attachments: 149239- R1- 11- 10Ajpg; 149239- R1- 25 -24A jpg
Hi all -
Fall planting and clean up is complete for this year ... every season gardeners question "could I have done
more ?" And, the answer is yes, I wish I could have done more ... the project slowed down in October so as to
not further strain an old injury ... Iowa City crews have done a fabulous getting planters ready for winter.
Yesterday, I removed the sweet potato vines ... lots of roots, but not many potatoes to plant in the spring. As I
worked, pedestrians commented how much they enjoyed the blooming flowers ... I always say thanks and
remind them "city crews are responsible - they do a great job!" The downtown was beautiful in bloom and this
natural, growing environment gives Iowa City a positive edge.
Since the last update, I had a conversation with Brothers Bar & Grill manager. We've talked before, and, as
before, he was initially very defensive, which is not my intent. Brothers does have the best outdoor seating
arrangement and I always compliment this facet of their business. As we continued the discussion we agreed
spring, after the University of Iowa graduation, would be the best time to try replanting. I will continue to work
with the bar's managers to see if we can't accomplish a long -term solution in this area. (I related the following
story to the manager: Prior to Gabe's sale to the Yacht Club, on Wednesdays, Gabe's offered an underage
performance when I would see customers lined up at 5:30 p.m. - no pushing, shoving just standing in line to
enter. Perhaps because many of the customers for those days were high schoolers, who are accustomed to a line
formation, that planter boxes were never damaged. And, suggested Brothers customers could be encouraged to
demonstrate restrain and respect ... time will tell. More on that later.)
City staff have connected the plant project with the Community Development Neighborhood staff, and we will
attempt to assist with a neighborhood planting in next spring.
My apologies to all on this message because totals reported last time were incorrect. To date, we've planted:
combined total of 2,750 (400 in 2008; 1,531 in 2009 with help from Community Corrections); 350 in 2010; and
464 in 2011).
This November, Project GREEN is helping coordinate decorating a planter box on Washington Street near
Discerning Eye. These efforts include Project GREEN volunteers and chairs, Iowa City staff, Sheri /
Terry, Discerning Eye owner Joni Schrup (included on this message), and Downtown Association Executive
Director Nick Arnold. Our efforts will be to create a natural decor (see attached example). Volunteers will
remove and recycle decorations at an appropriate time.
Thanks to all for cooperation to green up the downtown. As I often do in these updates, I wish to thank the Iowa
City staff - Sheri & Terry and their summer crews - who are all great. And, a big special thanks to Dale Helling
for the opportunity. I'll miss him at City Hall.
Thank you - Linda

Mayor serves as panelist
at passenger rail session
Iowa City Mayor Matt Hayek was one of three panelists invited to speak
at an information session on passenger rail in Iowa, held in Des Moines
on October 24. The Mayor was joined on the panel by Wayne Schmidt,
Republican State Representative from Michigan, and Chris Koos, the Mayor
of Normal, Illinois, for the "Passenger Rail: Investing in Iowa's Future," ses-
sion.The event, sponsored by the Transit 2030 Task Force, a group of Des
Moines business and community leaders who are addressing the future
transportation needs for the Des Moines metropolitan area, was designed
specifically for business and government leaders.
For the past four years, Mayor Hayek and other Iowa City staff and civ-
ic leaders have been working with the Iowa and Illinois Departments of
Transportation to develop a passenger rail service linking Chicago to the
Quad Cities and on to Iowa City, with plans to eventually extend the ser-
vice westward to Des Moines, western Iowa, and Omaha. The project was
awarded a $230 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation
last year, but Governor Terry Branstad and the Iowa legislature have not
continued on next page

This home at 838 Dearborn Street in Iowa City won a Historic
Preservation Award in 2009 in the Residential Addition / New Con-
struction category, demonstrating what a significant change a his-
toric preservation project can bring to the appearance of a home as
well as to a neighborhood. Old siding (top left) was removed, reveal-
ing the original wood shingles (left). A front porch that had been re-
moved in the 1950s was rebuilt, restoring the original design of the
home and enhancing the structure's architectural features (above).

PUBLIC INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN DESIGN CHARRETTE
FOR RIVERFRONT CROSSINGS AND DOWNTOWN PROJECTS
TURNING IDEAS INTO DESIGNS
After gathering input from the
public for the broad vision and
goals for Downtown Iowa City
and the Riverfront Crossings
District, the City is ready to
transform that vision into a de-
tailed framework plan for these
areas. The public is invited to
join a team of urban
designers and plan-
ners from HDR from
November 29 through
December I to partici-
pate in a process called
a "design charrette" in
which ideas are trans-
formed into concrete
design scenarios, illus-
trated with maps and
sketches.
The charrette will fea-
ture three separate
public open house ses-
sions, scheduled over a
three -day period. The
public is invited to stop
in at any or all of the
sessions to consider
the proposed scenarios
and sketches showing
options for redevelop-
ment, including pro-
posed land use, building
heights, residential den-
sity, public street im-
provements, and other
topics.The open house
sessions will be infor-
mal and offer the public
a chance to ask ques-
tions and provide feed-

All sessions will be held in
Harvat Hall (City Council Chambers)
at City Hall, 410 E.Washington Street.
back Consultants and City plan-
ners will be on hand to guide
members of the public through
the process.
Based on the public input re-
ceived during the first two open
houses, scheduled the evenings
of Tuesday, November
29 and Wednesday, No-
vember 30, the urban
design team will work
throughout the next
day to fine -tune the
scenarios and sketch-
es to incorporate the
feedback received. A
final session, where the
consultants will high-
light the results of the
charrette and summa-
rize how plans evolved
over the three -day pe-
riod, will be held on
Thursday, December I.
A full meeting schedule
appears in the green
box on the top of this
page.
The plans that the
public will review dur-
ing the charrette have
been developed based
on input provided at
previous planning ses-
sions, during which the
public was asked to
help identify strengths,
weaknesses, opportuni-
ties, and threats for the

TURNING IDEAS INTO DESIGNS
continued from previous page
Riverfront Crossings District and
Downtown Iowa City areas. The
feedback was used by HDR, the
consultants hired by the City for
the project, to create plans that
address community needs and
reflect the public's vision for the
areas.
The first phase of the Riverfront
Crossings plan, which addresses
the area along the east side of
the Iowa River that surrounds the
City's North Wastewater Treat-
ment Plant, was recently adopted
by the City Council.The plan may
be viewed at www.icgov.org /river-
frontcrossings. The concept ren-
derings that are featured on this
page are excerpted from that plan.
The results of the design charrette
in late November will serve as the
basis for a similar framework plan
to guide future redevelopment
in the larger Riverfront Cross-
ings District and Downtown Iowa
City. The City will also be devel-
oping new zoning and economic
development assistance tools to
encourage and guide develop-
ment. Public investment in im-
provements to streets, parks, and
public amenities will also enhance
opportunities for private invest-
ment in these important central
city locations. The broad vision
is to create a sustainable, mixed -
use neighborhood in the heart of
Iowa City.

exceed $44,350; for a household of three, no
more than $57,050. Income guidelines for house-
holds of other sizes may be found at www.icgov.
org /housingrehab. In addition, homes must be sin-
gle- family, owner - occupied residences located in
Iowa City, and must have enough equity to cover
the loan.

MINUTES DRAFT
IOWA CITY AIRPORT COMMISSION
OCTOBER 11, 2011 — 6:00 P.M.
AIRPORT TERMINAL BUILDING
Members Present: Jose Assouline, Minnetta Gardinier, Howard Horan, Rick Mascari
Members Absent: Steve Crane
Staff Present: Sue Dulek, Michael Tharp
Others Present: Jeff Edberg, Matt Wolford, Mark Anderson
RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: (to become effective only after separate Council
action):
CALL TO ORDER:
Chairperson Gardinier called the meeting to order at 6:05 P.M.
APPROVAL OF MEETING MINUTES:
Minutes of the September 15, 2011, meeting were reviewed. Assouline moved to approve
the minutes of the September 15, 2011, meeting as submitted; seconded by Horan.
Motion carried 4 -0; Crane absent.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION:
None.
ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION /ACTION:
a. Airport Commerce Park — Jeff Edberg spoke to Members, stating that he has good
news to share. There has been an offer on lot #17 to lease for 25 years, with a provision
that the interested party will have the option to buy the lot during this term. The
individual has opened several eateries in the area where he specializes in falafel. Lot
#17, however, would be for another venture of his, restoring and selling automobiles.
Edberg further discussed the elements of the lease that will need to be drawn up, and
also responded to Members' questions. Mascari questioned what type of building can
be put on this lot, bringing up issues of restrictions. Edberg noted that there will be
approximately ten employees at this new business with an average annual income of
$48,000. He then spoke to questions regarding this type of business, noting that the
City's zoning codes will come into play here.
i. Offer on Lot #17 — Dulek noted that Members will not be voting on this
issue at this time. First there needs to be a public hearing and Council
approval, as well as clarification of items such as requiring a deposit and
having a build -out date. Members began to discuss these issues, asking
how they can best serve the Airport's interests while agreeing to such a
lease arrangement. Members did state that they would like to see some
Airport Commission
October 11, 2011
Page 2
financial information, to which Edberg stated that he would acquire this.
The discussion continued, with Members stating their concerns over a
lease versus selling the lot outright. They questioned what recourse
they would have if the tenant left or did not pay the lease. Dulek noted
that she can help in obtaining background information on the buyer, as
well. Gardinier then asked Members if they are interested in pursuing a
25 -year lease or if they would want to lower this term. Members also
discussed whether or not they should require six months of lease
payments up front. Gardinier stated that first and last month's rent would
be reasonable, to which others agreed. Assouline suggested they start
with six months and go from there. Edberg stated that he could ask the
buyer for six months payment up front, but that he questions this being
done. He further explained why this is not typically done in commercial
leases. Dulek will work on moving the lease issues forward, along with
obtaining further information from Edberg. She did ask for further
clarification from Members on the lease term and a possible purchase
option.
b. Corporate Hangar L — Tharp noted that he and Gardinier had a conversation with the
State regarding doing this project in a couple of different phases. The State was
supportive of this idea, according to Tharp, even though they cannot guarantee what
programs and grants will be offered in the future. This would then allow the Airport to
keep the grant money they currently have and to then apply for new grant money in the
future. Members discussed this further, with Tharp giving them a handout that further
explained possible scenarios. He then proceeded to clarify the details of each phase,
noting that the basic dimensions would be 56 by 62, with a 55 -foot wide door that is 18
feet tall. This led to a discussion of which aircraft would fit best into this size of hangar.
Tharp stated that if the Commission is in agreement on the phasing, he will go back and
fine -tune the numbers. He also spoke to Members about a private party /individual who
is interested in building a 100 by 100 hangar. The discussion turned to a possible
private /Airport collaboration on such a project. Tharp noted that the State does not
support private development. The Airport would have to be the owner and then lease
space back to the private party. The discussion continued, with Members asking Tharp
for clarification on several issues. Tharp told Members that if they give the go- ahead, he
will put a plan set together, where those parts of the project that can be done without
issuing any further debt would be done first. Members discussed the need to get
infrastructure done in one phase, in order to keep costs under control. Mascari then
asked if any other Members would be interested in paying down the Airport's debt faster,
more specifically devoting the proceeds from the next lot sale to do this. Others agreed
that this would be a good idea.
c. Terminal Building Brick Repair — Tharp noted that he doesn't have much to update
Members on with this project, but that he hopes to have some preliminary plans by the
next meeting. Mascari asked if Tharp had checked with any local contractors on this
project. Tharp noted that due to the dollar amount of this project, it will be done as a
formal bid, giving anyone interested a chance at it.
d. FAA/IDOT Projects: AECOM —
i. Runway 7/25 & 12/3 — Tharp noted that David Hughes is unable to make
this evening's meeting; however, he did send an email for him to share.
In regards to this completed project, Tharp noted that they are still
awaiting the FAA's final report.
Airport Commission

ii. Obstruction Mitigation — Tharp stated that a letter was sent to an owner
of the car dealerships regarding some light poles that needed to be
shorted or removed.
iii. 7/25 Parallel Taxiway — Tharp noted that the closure last week went
fairly quickly. Another closure will happen toward the end of October, first
of November, according to Tharp.
e. FAA Central Region Conference Report — Tharp shared with Members his
experiences at this year's conference. He noted that there were several sessions on
land revenue leases that were quite informative, as well as some on land acquisition.
Tharp added that obstruction mitigation was a big topic, as well.
f. FY2013 FAA Airport Improvement Program Application — Tharp stated that the call
letter for applications has gone out, with a due date of January 12, 2012. Over the next
three months, Tharp noted that they will be talking about the Airport's plans, including
the Ruppert acquisition and how this fits into things. He asked that Members look at this
over the next month so they can discuss it in more depth at the next meeting.
g. Airport "Operations ":
L Strategic Plan — Implementation — Tharp noted that a lot of this is being
done under the subcommittees. Mascari noted that he expects to have
something for next month's meeting.
ii. Budget
1. FY2013 Budget — Tharp noted that the budget subcommittee met
several times over the past few months. Members received a
copy of this budget in their packets. Tharp briefly noted that the
FY13 budget has essentially an overall income level of $394,000;
with expenses before capital outlay of approximately $370,000,
leaving about a $20,000 for other grounds keeping and
maintenance. Tharp also noted that in the past, the Commission
had wanted to relook the 10% portion the Airport pays toward the
Economic Development Coordinator's salary. He suggested they
approach the City Manager's office with this issue. Gardinier
noted that she will put this in the letter that she is working on to
upgrade Tharp's position to 100% time. Tharp then noted that he
does need the Commission's approval this evening on the FY13
budget, so that he can move forward with submitting this.
Assouline moved to approve the FY13budget as presented;
seconded by Mascari. Motion carried 4 -0; Crane absent.
2. Brush Clearing — Tharp stated that the Willow Creek project is
slated for this winter. As for the area by Gilbert Street, Tharp
noted that he would need to spend $18,000 to clean this up. He
showed Members what this would entail and responded to their
concerns. Gardinier asked if they couldn't put rock down in this
area or something that wouldn't require maintenance. Tharp
stated that he would look into this further.
iii. Management —
1. Airport Operations Specialist Position - Gardinier noted that
she is almost done with the letter regarding the Specialist position.
She asked if Members wanted to review it, and asked Dulek if she
could email the letter to each of the Members. Mascari stated that
he would like to see maintenance issues addressed as part of this
position. He gave an example of having five maintenance issues
Airport Commission
October 11, 2011
Page 4
addressed and corrected each month. Gardinier added that she is
suggesting a checklist of sorts that would be gone through on a
regular basis. (Mascari left the meeting at this time.)
h. Iowa City Trails Plan — Tharp noted that he put a copy of the City's trail plan in
Members' packets, so they could see what the City has planned for the area. So far
these projects are on the unfunded list. He then responded to Members' questions
regarding the area's overall trail plans.
i. FBO / Flight Training Reports —
i. Jet Air / Air Care — Matt Wolford from Jet Air spoke to Members next.
He noted that the report the Commission receives from Jet Air is typically
on the previous month. However, he questioned if this should change.
Continuing, Wolford noted that they have done some sheet metal repairs
on hangars. He also noted some areas of asphalt that they have been
cleaning up due to it crumbling. Wolford added that they had an auction
last week and were able to sell quite a bit of stuff. He also invited the
Commission to come to a reunion /party for Harrel at the Galesburg
Airport next Saturday. Wolford then noted that they will be undertaking a
fairly big project soon with replacing the bottom door seals on the
hangars.
ii. Iowa Flight Training — Tharp noted that Tim is unable to make this
evening's meeting, but that he sent an update for Tharp to share. Tharp
stated that IFT tried to hold a ground school at the Airport, but did not get
enough interest. Student pilots, therefore, were sent up to Cedar Rapids
for this class.
iii. Whirlybird — Tharp stated that he has not seen any activity from them.
They are behind in their rent, as well.
j. Subcommittee Report —
i. Community Liaison Subcommittee (Mascari, Assouline, Tharp) —
Tharp noted that Josh Schamberger, President of the Convention and
Visitors Bureau, will be out on Thursday for a tour.
ii. For November: Events (Horan, Gardinier, Tharp)
k. Commission Members' Reports — Gardinier noted to Wolford that while she was
fueling up recently she noticed the grounding wire clamp was slipping off her exhaust
pipe.
I. Staff Report — Tharp noted that Dale Helling, Assistant City Manager, will be retiring
after 36 years with the City. There is a reception in his honor on Tuesday, October 25.
Tharp also noted that he received a call recently from the Iowa Aviation promotion group
to see if Iowa City would be interested in hosting the 2013 "Fly Iowa." He added that he
can add this to next month's agenda for a more in -depth discussion. Members briefly
discussed their interest in such an endeavor. Tharp added that the group is willing to
come and give a presentation to the Commission, to which Members agreed.
SET NEXT REGULAR MEETING FOR:
The next regular meeting will be Thursday, November 17, 2011, at 6:00 P.M. at the Airport

PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION PRELIMINARY
OCTOBER 17, 2011 — 6:00 PM — INFORMAL
LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM, CITY HALL
MEMBERS PRESENT: Charlie Eastham, Ann Freerks, Elizabeth Koppes, Michelle Payne,
Tim Weitzel, Carolyn Stewart Dyer
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo, Sara Hektoen
OTHERS PRESENT: None
CALL TO ORDER:
The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM.
PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA:
None.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ITEMS:
1. Consider setting a public hearing for November 3, 2011 to amend the
Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation from Private Institutional
to Low to Medium Density Multi- family Stabilization for property located at 602 E.
Washington Street.
Miklo stated that this item goes with item number three as well. He stated that on
Thursday it would be a formality of setting the public hearing on November 3, 2011.
There would be no public discussion needed. Discussion noted below under item
REZ11 -00017 / VAC11- 00002.
2. Consider setting a public hearing for November 3, 2011 to amend the
Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation from Industrial to
Commercial for property located on the east side of Commercial Drive north of
420th Street.
Koppes noted that this item goes along with the rezoning item REZ11- 00015.
Discussion noted below.
REZONING ITEMS:
REZ11- 00015: Discussion of an application submitted by Al Streb for a rezoning from
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 17, 2011 - Informal
Page 2 of 7
General Industrial (1 -1) zone to Community Commercial (CC -2) zone for approximately
2.34 acres of property located on Commercial Drive.
Miklo stated that this item was noted in the last staff report stating that the zoning didn't comply
with the Comprehensive Plan. It was noted that if an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan
did not get approved then the zoning should not as well. The Commission asked for further
information and has laid out the possibility of amending the Comprehensive Plan. Miklo stated
that the agenda would include setting up a public hearing for November 3, 2011.
One of the questions that came up is about the current Comprehensive Plan it shows most of
Scott 6 as industrial. The area has been identified as one of the few areas in Iowa City where
industrial development can grow. The area has access to the rail, there are several users that
ship and receive goods via rail. The City policy is to keep a corridor of industrial land reserved
along Highway 6 and the railroad. The other important characteristic is that it is a relatively flat
piece of land. Another factor is this area has good highway access to Highway 6 up to Scott
Boulevard and the Interstate 80.
Miklo stated that another Comprehensive Plan factor of the Southeast District Plan is trying to
support the commercial zones that are already in the area. He stated that without getting into a
detailed market study the theory is that if you provide too much zoning for commercial rather
than channeling it into areas where you want vibrant commercial shopping centers it gets
spread out and you end of with more marginal commercial areas.
Miklo stated that the history of the property was annexed in 1997 to create Scott 6 Industrial
Park. He stated that the discussion at the time was that it would be zoned General Industrial
but the properties along Scott Boulevard would be zoned Intensive Commercial. The City
waived the requirement for sidewalks and the tap on fees for the water and sewer of the
industrial lots only. Staff feels that if it is rezoned that there should be sidewalks put in on the
east side of the Commerce Drive to provide pedestrian access.
Miklo stated that there was a question about a special exception that was granted for a concrete
plant. It was granted this fall by the Board of Adjustment. There was concern about the dust
and noise and being too close to residential and commercial. There is no residential in the area
and the closest commercial at the time was located approximately 800 feet away. The Board
did approve the special exception for the concrete plant. If this rezoning is approved
commercial development could occur within 400 feet of the concrete plant.
Another question that was asked was if the area was developed for industrial use what would
the effect of traffic be like for the Fareway. Miklo stated that it depends on what is being placed
in the location. Putting commercial next to industrial there might be complaints either way.
Miklo stated that the next question was about the demand for an industrial and commercial in
the area. He stated that without conducting an in -depth market analysis it would be hard to
know. Currently in this area about 79% of the industrial lots have developed and 27% of the
commercial lots are developed. Miklo stated that in comparison to commercial development
there is greater demand for the industrial area. \
Another question asked was what practices would be necessary to make the industrial and the
commercial compatible. Miklo stated that the screening would be required in both zones for any
outdoor activity.
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 17, 2011 - Informal
Page 3 of 7
The next question was about residential. The CC -2 zone allows group homes and it allows
residential by special exception.
The next question asked was about the adjacent property owners and how they would feel
about having their properties rezoned. Miklo stated that staff would not recommend rezoning of
the Goodwill Industries property after looking at the amount investment. The property has over
a million dollar investment and staff feels that it would not be wise to make that a nonconforming
area.
Miklo stated that the next question was regarding previous Comprehensive Plans. He noted
that because of the limited availability of land that is suitable for industrial this area it has been
designated as a corridor for industrial.
The final question that was raised by the applicant was the traffic count. In this area there are
approximately 6,100 vehicles a day on Scott Boulevard and going north there are more.
Generally retail uses like to have higher traffic counts. Staff has concern if there were enough
traffic counts in the area to support a vibrant commercial area.
Miklo stated that the question for the Commission for Thursday night is if they would want to
proceed to study a Comprehensive Plan amendment. If the Commission wants to proceed then
the Commission should set the hearing. If they do not, then there is no need to set a public
hearing.
Eastham asked when the traffic count was done. Miklo stated that they were done by the DOT
in 2010. Eastham asked if McCollister Boulevard will be extended to cross over Highway 6 at
the intersection of Scott Boulevard. Miklo confirmed that was correct but there is no design yet.
Eastham asked if the plan for south of Highway 6 been developed yet as to where the
commercial spaces would be. Miklo stated that south of Highway 6 there is a proposed
commercial area. Eastham stated that the Southeast District Plan had a commercial area in it.
Miklo thought that it did not. He stated that the CI -1 commercial is easier to locate because they
don't rely on high customer counts.
Miklo stated that if the Commission feels that there is a compelling reason to change the zoning
or there needs to be further study on the Comprehensive Plan amendment then the
Commission should set the public hearing.
REZ11- 00016: Discussion of an application submitted by Mark Holtkamp for a rezoning
from Commercial Office (CO -1) zone to Low Density Multifamily (RM -12) zone for
approximately 1.15 acres of property located at 911 N. Governor Street.
Eastham stated he had a conflict with this application due to being a board member of a
housing organization which owns property in the area.
Miklo stated this property was currently zoned (CO -1) office and is located on Governor Street.
Staff believes this area was zoned office before 1980. The proposal is to rezone it to RM -12.
The Comprehensive Plan for the area does show it as the appropriate zone. There is a
multifamily development to the west and this was zoned R3 -B since the 1960's. In the 70's
there was an attempt to downzone this and other properties in the neighborhood. During the
process there was a new zoning code adopted and there is no longer a R3 -13 zone. During the
challenge of the downzoning the court stated that the City had to keep the zone as R3 -B. Staff
calculates to the equivalent density of RM -20. For that reason Staff feels it is an appropriate
area to be low density multifamily housing.
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 17, 2011 - Informal
Page 4 of 7
Miklo stated that there are standards in the zoning code for infill apartment buildings. This
application will have to go through the staff review design process. The applicant did submit a
concept plan. Miklo stated that there are issues with the plan. He pointed out that there was a
storm and sanitary sewer running through the property. There are no easements over the
sewers. The design provided is not possible unless they moved the utilities. Another point is
the drive would need to be moved to the south to meet the guidelines. The right of way is
inconsistent and staff recommends that it be additional right -of -way be dedicated. Miklo stated
that the only other concern is that there are no sidewalks south to Brown Street. The City owns
Happy Hollow Park so staff is recommending that the City put in a sidewalk in that location.
Staff feels that the applicant should pay for sidewalks to be put on the intervening section of the
street. Staff does recommend approval with those conditions stated above.
Payne asked if R3 -B is similar RM -20. Miklo stated he thinks it is closer to RM -44. The density
of the current development there is RM -20. The applicant is asking for RM -12. Miklo stated
that the long term plans is to have the adjacent properties also zoned RM -12. Staff does not
recommend doing the rezoning of those properties at this time. Freerks asked if townhomes
could be built in RS -12. Miklo confirmed that was correct. Payne asked what the chances of
getting the utilities removed. Miklo stated that the applicant is investigating that.
Dyer stated she was concerned about the added traffic on to Governor Street. Miklo stated that
staff also considered that issue. He said the CO -1 zone would generate some traffic and allows
apartments above an office. He felt that it was unlikely someone would put an office in that
location. Payne asked for the number of units that could be built if it was a RS -12. Payne
asked if the design that was given if it could be on the RS -12 zone. Miklo stated that it could not
unless a plan development was done. He stated that if a building was built on the RS -12 there
would need to be a lot line and each building would have to have frontage to the street.
REZ11 -00017 / VAC11- 00002: Discussion of an application submitted by Hunter
Properties for a rezoning from Low Density Multi - Family (RM -12) zone to Neighborhood
Stabilization Residential (RSN -20) zone for approximately .79 acres of property located at
602 E. Washington Street and the vacation of a portion of the alley right -of -way located
east of Johnson Street, south of Ralston Creek.
Miklo showed the Comprehensive Plan for the area. It shows 602 Washington Street as private
institutional to acknowledge the current religious institution that is there. The institution will be
moving so the property will become available soon. Miklo stated that regardless to the rezoning
at some point the destination will need to change unless another religious institution moves into
that location. The Commission is being asked to set a public hearing on the Comprehensive
Plan for November 3, 2011.
Miklo stated that the subject property is located on the corner of Johnson and Washington
Street currently zoned RM -12. Most of the properties in the area are zoned as RNS -20. The
proposal from the potential buyer of the property is to rezone the property to RNS -20. Staff
feels it would be compatible with the other properties in the area. There are some properties
located around the park that are zoned as RM -12 and are mostly in the historic district. Miklo
pointed out a property that is not a part of the historic district but is in a conservation district.
The applicant is requesting the vacating of the alley that runs south of Ralston Creek to the
north side of the property. If the alley is vacated three properties would be joined together and
there would be sufficient land for up to 24 dwelling units on the combined properties. The alley
would have to be purchased from the City.
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 17, 2011 - Informal
Page 5 of 7
Koppes asked if there were other properties that used the alley. Miklo stated yes and that there
was one utility line through the area. An easement will be necessary. The property to the north
does use the alley to gain access for mowing and tree trimming of the property. The owner of
the house on Washington and Dodge Street uses the alley for access to their backyard.
Miklo stated that staff recommends that if the alley is vacated that easements be established for
any utilities and to provide access for those two properties. Staff does not feel that the alley
needs to be kept as a public alley because of the creek and the grade it is physically not
possible to build a paved road. Miklo stated that the long term plans is for a trail along the
creek. Staff is recommending that if this is approved that an easement be retained and another
easement be dedicated along the creek to provide for the trail. Eastham asked that with the
easements that would be put in if the potential owners would be able to use the vacated ground
to build on. Miklo responded that the potential owner would not be able to build upon the
easement but they would be able to use it for parking, access driveways and open space. The
trail easement would be north of the current alley.
Miklo stated that the other issue with the property is that the majority of it is in a flood plain. The
concept plan shows that the first level of the building would be parking which would be
susceptible to flooding. There would be possibility of vehicle damage if there was to be flash
flooding but parking is allowed according to floodplain regulations. Miklo stated that the benefit
to the redevelopment is that it would minimize the water damage to habitable space in that the
garage would be designed to take on flooding.
Eastham asked if the flood plain ordinance requires that the building be built in a way that if
there was flooding in the parking garage that the residence would have a way of leaving the
building. Miklo stated he was not sure. He stated that in most cases if a building was built in a
floodplain that the habitable space is above the floodplain. Koppes asked if calculations would
need to be made if fill would be brought and how it would affect surrounding properties. Miklo
stated that the idea behind the flood plain is that you can fill the entire flood plain and it won't
raise the flood level downstream level by more than a foot. There would be no requirement to
do the calculations.
Eastham asked if there could be a requirement attached to the rezoning so that any building
that was built on the site would have to be accessible above the flood level. Hektoen stated it
would be hard to predict. Miklo stated he thought it would be and that before the Commission
votes there might be more details regarding the building.
Miklo stated that this area is a Conservation District so any building design on the property will
require approval by the Historic Preservation Commission for compliance with their guidelines.
Eastham asked about the height limit. Miklo stated that the current height limit is 35 feet but
there is a possibility for a minor modification that would allow up to 38.5 feet.
Miklo summarized any development of the property regardless of the rezoning would have to be
reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and be compatible with the neighborhood.
The alley is not necessary for public purpose and that it could be achieved through easements
for trail and utilities. Staff recommends approval subject to easements being established and an
acceptable offer being made to purchase the alley right of way. Staff does not feel that the
Commission will need to put any restrictions on the building designs because of the Historic
Preservation Commission review. In the concept plan they are proposing all two bedroom
apartments. The zone allows up to four bedrooms per unit. Staff recommends a
Comprehensive Plan amendment unless another institution buys the property.
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 17, 2011 - Informal
Page 6 of 7
Freerks asked how it is really compatible when everything around the park is RM -12 and a
lower density and feels that there needs to be more discussion. With the potential of four levels
and four bedroom units doesn't seem to be compatible with what is in that area. Weitzel agreed
that he wanted to make sure that there was not an over burden on the area. He stated that if
the design was good he would like to see a higher building if there were fewer bedrooms per
unit.
Koppes asked about the setback and stated that it seems close to the sidewalk. Miklo stated
that the setback requirement is a 20 foot setback for a multifamily building. However if 50% of
the properties on the block are a set closer the guidelines allow for the building to be set closer.
Payne asked that if it goes to Historic Preservation and they deny it the applicant can appeal to
the Board of Adjustments. Miklo confirmed that was correct.
Dyer stated that her concern was if height blocks the view of the property next to it. Weitzel
stated that from that angel there would be no way to build a building to block it. Miklo stated
that there would be some change of the view. Koppes stated that they could require screening.
Payne asked if there would be balconies on the east side. Miklo stated that they would not be
allowed to have balconies adjacent to the single family to the east. They would be able to have
balconies on the street side and on the north side.
OTHER:
None.
ADJOURNMENT:
Payne motioned to adjourn.
Weitzel seconded.
The meeting was adjourned on a 6 -0 vote (Plahutnik absent).

Miklo noted that the Commission asked for some additional information and staff has provided
that to them in a memo. Staff was also asked to contact the adjacent property owner of Lot 42.
The owner had contacted the City and she submitted concerns and objections in writing
regarding the rezoning.
Miklo told the Commission that they will need to decide if there is merit to pursuing the rezoning
further and if so than the Commission could set a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan
amendment for November 3. If no further consideration is needed then no public hearing is
necessary and a vote should take place on the zoning.
Koppes made a motion to approve setting a public hearing to November 3, 2011.
Weitzel seconded.
Eastham noted that he would not be voting in favor of the motion. He reviewed all materials as
well as listened to all information and feels that the current Comprehensive Plan and treatment
of this property and zoning is appropriate. Eastham does not feel that there has been any
evidence showing a need for commercial space in the area.
Weitzel stated that the industrial space needs to be preserved and there are other options for
Community Commercial (CC -2) in the vicinity. He does not feel that there needs to be a
rezoning at this time.
Freerks agreed with Eastham and Weitzel and noted she would be voting against.
Dyer noted that she agrees with the above and noted it is also because it is in the middle of the
block and would make the rest of the property less useful for industrial purposes.
A vote was taken and the motion denied 1 -4 (Dyer, Weitzel, Freerks, Eastham voting no,
Payne absent).
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Al Streb, 1700 County Club Drive, Coralville, IA, is the applicant for REZ11- 00015. He noted
that this commercial would be right across the street from commercial. He would not ask the
neighbors to rezone. Right after he subdivided the property and gave a design to the City he
feels it's a promise he never received. He feels that he has to compete against the City. He
noted his concern for the missing of the taxation.
Freerks closed the public hearing.
Weitzel moved to approve REV 1 -00015 rezoning from General Industrial 1 -1 to
Community Commercial CC -2 zone.
Koppes seconded.
Freerks asked for discussion.
Eastham stated that he would be voting against this application. He stated he does have
sympathy for the applicant as a property owner. Eastham noted that he is applying his best
judgment for the City's overall interest. The Comprehensive Plan gives a clear guidance and
there is good evidence that industrial development is occurring at a good pace in the area.

Freerks noted that she agrees with Eastham. She stated that the idea of if the area is rezoned
that there could be a potential for living units above the commercial space. Freerks noted that
there are other opportunities.
A vote was taken and the motion denied 1 -4 (Dyer, Weitzel, Freerks, Eastham voting no,
Payne absent).
REZ11- 00016: Discussion of an application submitted by Mark Holtkamp for a rezoning
from Commercial Office (CO -1) zone to Low Density Multifamily (RM -12) zone for
approximately 1.15 acres of property located at 911 N. Governor Street.
Eastham recused himself due to being a board member for a nonprofit that is general partner for
a limited liability that owns property within the 200 foot exception area for the application.
Miklo stated the property is on the west side of the street just north of Brown Street. The
Comprehensive Plan for the area shows the subject property as being appropriate for low to
medium density multi - family residential. That designation could accommodate either RM -12 or
RMS -20. The surrounding properties are generally RS -8 and there are two to three properties
zoned RS -12 and they are developed with mostly duplexes. There is a property to the west
zoned R3 -B and it was a court ordered from a previous zoning code. Miklo noted that the
proposed zoning would comply with the designation with the current Comprehensive Plan.
The current commercial office zoning allows office on the ground floor and would also allow for
the area to be redeveloped with multi - family on the second floor at the same density as the RM-
12 zone. The zoning would not change the density of residential development on the property
but would change the form. Changing the zoning to RM -12 would make it possible for
redevelopment.
Miklo showed an aerial photograph that showed the surrounding neighborhood. Miklo noted
that there was a sidewalk to the north but not to the south. The applicant submitted a concept
plan. Miklo noted that it would not be possible to build the plan as shown for a number of
reasons. The main reason would be the sanitary and storm sewers that run through the
property. They would have to be moved or the plan would need to be redesigned. The location
of the driveway is a concern because of the curve in the street and the hill. The transportation
planners have identified a site distance issue. There are minimum distances from the property
line and where the drive way might be located. Miklo stated that the transportation planners
have indicated that the buildings should be set back further to ensure proper site distance. Staff
recommends a condition that the transportation planners be satisfied with the site distance for
vehicles exiting the property.
Miklo stated that there is an inconsistency with the right -of -way. Staff recommends that the
triangle of less than 600 square feet be dedicated to make a consistent right -of -way in the area.
Staff is recommending that any development of the property should be required to put a
sidewalk on the frontage as well as on the adjacent properties up until it gets to the City property
at Happy Hollow Park.
Miklo noted that any multi - family on this property will be subject to the multi - family design review
requirements of the zoning code.
Miklo stated that in regards to the question about the number of townhouses that could be built
Planning and Zoning Commission
October 20, 2011 - Formal
Page 4 of 9
on the property if it was zoned RS -12: they would be individual units and have to be on
individual lots with lot lines dividing the units. Due to the easement situation it is difficult to
determine how many units could be built under RS -12. Without building any new street or
infrastructure approximately eight townhouses could be built. If a street was built and a rear
lane that provides access to the parking and the utilities about 16 to 18 units could possibly be
built.
Staff recommends the approval of the rezoning subject to dedication of right -of -way for
consistent street width and to accommodate sidewalks. The developer would be required to
install sidewalks along the frontage and the two adjacent properties on the north property line of
Happy Hollow Park. The City would then be required to put in the remaining sidewalk to Brown
Street. The location of the driveway is subject to the transportation planning approval. The
front setback is sufficient to provide adequate site distance. Sewer easements should be
established on the property to allow repair /replacement of the lines.
Freerks asked if there was an issue with the frontage as far as being the proper distance in the
diagram that was provided by the applicant. Miklo stated that the setback is a minimum of 20
feet. .
Freerks opened public hearing.
Mark Holtkamp, applicant for REZ11 -00016 noted that dedicating the land on the triangle would
not be an issue as well as inserting a sidewalk. Holtkamp stated that zoning the area RS -12
would kill the project because of the costs it would take to put in additional roads.
Freerks closed the public hearing.
Koppes moved to approve REZ11 -00016 discussion of an application submitted by Mark
Holtkamp for a rezoning from Commercial Office (CO -1) zone to Low Density Multifamily
(RM -12) zone for approximately 1.15 acres of property located at 911 N. Governor Street.
Dyer seconded.
Koppes stated that this was a good example of an infill project and that she would support.
Weitzel stated that there were a lot of issues that staff would need to work out but that he was
okay with the concept of the plan.
Freerks agreed with Koppes and Weitzel. She stated that the RM -12 would fit in and be a
transition from the R3 -B, RS -12 and the RS -8. Freerks noted she would be in favor.
A vote was taken and the motion carries 4 -0 (Payne absent, Eastham recused).
Consider setting a public hearing for November 3, 2011 to amend the Comprehensive
Plan to change the land use designation from Private Institutional to Low to Medium
Density Multi- family Stabilization for property located at 602 E. Washington Street.
REZ11 -00017 / VAC11- 00002: Discussion of an application submitted by Hunter
Properties for a rezoning from Low Density Multi - Family (RM -12) zone to Neighborhood
Stabilization Residential (RSN -20) zone for approximately .79 acres of property located at
602 E. Washington Street and the vacation of a portion of the alley right -of -way located
east of Johnson Street, south of Ralston Creek.

Eastham stated that he had a brief discussion with Jeff Portman about this item and the process
that would be followed.
Miklo pointed out the location of the property on a zoning map. The property is currently zoned
RM -12. He noted that to the west and to the north the properties are zoned RNS -20. The
Comprehensive Plan currently shows the property as private institutional in recognition to the
synagogue that is located on the property. The synagogue will be moving to another location
and then the Comprehensive Plan should be changed unless another religious or private
institution occupies the property.
Miklo stated that on the Comprehensive Plan map the surrounding properties are denoted as
appropriate for residential conservation and staff recommends the same classification for the
proposed property.
Miklo pointed out the property in relation to Ralston Creek. He stated that there is a public alley
that is platted on the block but it is not built. It currently is used as a driveway to provide access
to the parking lot and by two of the adjacent property owners to provide access to the rear of
their properties for maintenance purposes.
Miklo showed pictures of the building on the property and noted that there are some utility lines
in the alley. An easement will be needed to accommodate the utilities as well as access to the
two adjacent properties. He stated that on paper it would change from a public alley to a private
easement.
Miklo noted that there is an elevation change from a sidewalk to a developed portion of the
property.
Miklo stated that the staffs view on the Neighborhood Compatibility and the Comprehensive
Plan is that the proposed rezoning to RNS -20 is compatible given the adjacent properties to the
north and the west. There is one house on the street would remain RM -12 because it is a part
of the historic district.
The property is within a Conservation District which requires approval by the Historic
Conservation Commission for any new building on the property. Miklo stated that there was a
concept plan that was submitted and staff does not suggest that the rezoning be tied to the
concept plan. Staff is still not sure if the plan will work because of unresolved issues. The
lowest level of the building there would be a parking facility for the apartments above. The plan
shows eight two bedroom units per floor and there may be issues fitting that in the current
height limit on the property.
Miklo stated that staff is recommending approval of the rezoning from RM -12 to RNS -20. As
well as approval of the vacation of the alley subject to establishment of easements for utilities
and access to the adjacent properties and for a potential for a trail along Ralston Creek.
Freerks asked for a review of the different height restrictions for the RNS -20 versus RM -12.
Miklo stated that the height restriction for both is 35 feet. Miklo noted that it is likely that there
will be fill on the property that will bring the Washington Street elevation up. The pedestrian
entrance to the property would be on Washington Street above flood elevation.
Koppes asked if the RNS -20 was downzoned from RM -44. Miklo stated that the RNS -20 was
established in the in 1985 when a new zoning map was adopted city wide. He noted that he
was unsure about the previous zoning but he would check into it.

Weitzel asked for staff recommendations on scale and massing for the new building. Miklo
stated that until there is a concept plan to review it is hard to say. Another property that is a
similar situation is on the corner of Washington and Governor Street.
Freerks stated that currently there are no restrictions on two bedroom unit and in an RNS -20
there could be up to four bedrooms per unit. Miklo confirmed that was correct. Freerks stated
that the illustration shows 24 two bedroom units. Eastham asked what the unrelated occupancy
requirement for RNS -20. Miklo stated that it was four and the current RM -12 zone would allow
three.
Weitzel stated that at the Monday night informal meeting the Commission talked about the
comparison of the heights of what is allowable and what the next door building would look like.
Miklo stated that staff has advised the applicant to have something illustrating it for the next
meeting.
Eastham asked if the Historic Preservation Commission review will just be the design and won't
state the number of bedrooms. Miklo confirmed that was correct that they just look at the
exterior of the building only.
Freerks opened public hearing.
Freerks noted that the applicant was not present for the public hearing.
Loret Mast, 631 E. College Street, Iowa City, noted she lived on the corner or College and
Dodge Street. Mast stated that she does not want an apartment building where the synagogue
is located. She feels that if the complex goes in that it won't fit in the neighborhood and the
trees will get taken down.
Pam Michaud, 109 S. Johnson Street, Iowa City, IA, lives in College Green Park. She stated
that she is only one of two people that were notified of this potential zoning change. Michaud
stated that the other neighbors that have lived in the area for 30 to 40 years were not contacted.
She feels that the applicant did not use the good neighbor policy to inform the greater east side
of Iowa City. Michaud gave a background of the neighboring houses and stated that 21 years
ago she had all neighbors signed the petition with the intention of preserving the streets around
the park. She stated that the area has neighborhood diversity. Michaud stated that when the
City had workshops on the 2008 Comprehensive Plan they did not imagine that the synagogue
would be removed and so no one challenged the default zoning. She stated that a three or four
story building will dominate the 600 block of Washington Street. She feels that the logic that the
synagogue lot is backed up to the RNS -20 is faulty because Ralston Creek separates it. The
blue print for the apartment building looks as if it was designed for a flat site. She asked that
before the next zoning meeting a complete site design and blue print should be mailed to
everyone on the east side.
Helen Burford, 528 E. College Street, Iowa City, lives across from College Green Park. She
stated that they were not notified of the rezoning. The neighborhood as a historic district is
fragile. She stated that the area has multiple forms of housing. She feels that a line is being
crossed in saying that the older portions of Iowa City are no longer buyable and the investments
that people have made around the park to change the balance.
Freerks closed public hearing.

Eastham moved that the Commission set a public hearing on November 3, 2011 to amend
the Comprehensive Plan to change the land use designation from Private Institutional to
Low to Medium Density Multi- family Stabilization for property located at 602 E.
Washington Street.
Dyer seconded.
Koppes stated that it was still owned by a private institution and she asked if they can change it.
Miklo stated that there is a contract to sell the property at this time. Freerks asked how long it
can function as a private institution once it gets rezoned. Miklo stated that the private - institution
can function in a residential zone. Changing the Comprehensive Plan would not have an effect
on the use of the property for a private institution. Koppes asked if the RM -12 is covered by this
change. Miklo stated that the RM -12 and RNS -20 would be covered.
A vote was taken and the motion carries 5 -0 (Payne absent).
Koppes moved to defer REV 1 -00017 / VAC11 -00002 the application submitted by Hunter
Properties for a rezoning from Low Density Multi- Family (RM -12) zone to Neighborhood
Stabilization Residential (RSN -20) zone for approximately .79 acres of property located at
602 E. Washington Street and the vacation of a portion of the alley right -of -way located
east of Johnson Street, south of Ralston Creek.
Eastham seconded.
Weitzel stated that he would encourage the applicant to engage the neighborhood.
Koppes asked why RNS -20 was chosen for that area. She stated that she felt the RNS -20 is a
stabilized neighborhood and up- zoning from RM -12. Miklo stated that the intent for the RNS -20
talks about stabilization as well as allowing redevelopment of multi - family at a reasonable level.
Koppes stated that RM -12 is also multi - family and stated that she would like more information
on it.
Eastham stated he had concerns with the design appearance on the property. He stated he has
confidence that the Historic Preservation Commission will only approve a building that has a
reasonable design within the context of this location. Eastham recommended that the applicant
meet with the neighborhood and work on both the design and functional use of the building.
Freerks stated that she has a problem with the potential scale and mass that can go on that
piece of property if it is changed to the RNS -20 zone. She stated that the applicant should talk
with the neighborhood and then speak to the Commission about the details on the plan and the
information regarding the setback elevation.
Dyer stated that she has the same concerns as Freerks. Miklo stated that there might have
been some confusion with the applicant on the concern that Dyer had raised regarding a
drawing showing the proposed building in relation to the adjacent building. The applicant might
have misunderstood in thinking that this rezoning wasn't going to be talked about tonight and
that is why he didn't show up. Miklo stated that he did discuss with the applicant that this would
have to be deferred to the next meeting and to have the drawing prepared for that meeting.
A vote was taken and the motion carries 5 -0 (Payne absent).

CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: October 6, 2011:
Eastham moved to approve the minutes.
Koppes seconded.
The motion carried 5 -0 (Payne absent).
OTHER:
Freerks stated that recently the City Council voted on the rezoning of Bloomington and Linn
Street. The Comprehensive Plan was voted on and passed at 4 -3 but the rezoning failed at 2 -5.
The Council needed to wait and give an opportunity to meet with the Commission regarding the
negative rezoning vote. Freerks asked the Commission if they would like to have the
opportunity to meet with the Council.
Eastham stated he was at the Council meeting and there was a long discussion about the
appropriateness for amending the Comprehensive Plan and the rezoning. He stated he was
confused when the Council was discussing as to what the Council members want to have in a
building on the corner. Commercial uses had the majority of support from the Council but the
design and use along Bloomington Street was unclear. Eastham stated that he feels it is very
appropriate to have a meeting with the Council about the decision.
Freerks asked for the minutes of the City Council meeting to review before they meet with them.
Eastham stated it would be a good idea to have the Council review the Commissions minutes.
Miklo stated that the next step is to have a joint meeting so that the procedures are clear and
what will happen next. Miklo stated in the past the Commission will go to the next informal
Council meeting. He asked the Commissioners to think about their reason for voting for the
rezoning and to be prepared to tell the Council why you voted. Freerks asked for everyone to
be prepared to make a statement. Miklo stated that staff will be present but that they will not be
advocating for the Commission position.
There was discussion on if the informal meeting on October 31, 2011 should be cancelled due
to the lack of Commission being present. The Commission decided to have their informal
meeting after the November 1 meeting with the Council.
Koppes asked that the new secretary is voted on at the next meeting because Plahutnik
resigned.
ADJOURNMENT:
Koppes moved to adjourn.
Eastham seconded.
The meeting was adjourned on a 5 -0 (Payne absent).
