BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 2000 the final plat of the North Airport Development, a 17-1ot, 57.13 acre intensive commercial
development, was approved. The intent of the Airport Commission was to lease the lots in the
North Airport Development to commercial tenants, and use the lease revenue to support airport
operations. The Airport Commission now believes there is more of a market to sell the lots as
opposed to leasing. In order to sell lots 1-4, on the south side of Ruppert Road, the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA) requires that the area defined as the Transitional Safety Zone
remain in Airport control and not be sold.
The intent of the North Airport Development Part Two subdivision is to separate out as outlots the
area defined as the Transitional Safety Zone, on the south side of Lots 1-4.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed subdivision consists of four lots and four outlots. The four development lots are
all accessed from Ruppert Road, a public street. The four outlots all border airport property,
and are proposed to be created to satisfy transitional safety zone requirements. The
Transitional Safety Zone is an area parallel to runways that has some height and use
restrictions for aviation safety.
The four outlots are accessible from Ruppert Road (Outlot lA borders Ruppert Road) for
maintenance purposes. The outlots will remain the property of the Iowa City Municipal Airport.
A note on the plat indicates that the outlots are to be controlled by the City of Iowa City to insure
compliance with Transitional Safety Zone requirements.
In other aspects, the proposed plat is consistent with the already approved North Airport
Development subdivision.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB02-00022, a four-lot, 26.74-acre subdivision with four outlots located
in the Public/Intensive Commercial zone on the south side of Ruppert Road, be approved, subject
to the approval of legal papers prior to Council consideration.
