Re: Ronalds (Brown Street Extension) and Gilbert-Linn Proposed Northside local historic districts
Dear Planning and Zoning Commission Members:
As a property owner in the Ronalds proposed Northside district, I am writing to state my support of a
Historic Preservation Overlay or local historic district for this area. I understand that this change in zoning
will require application to the Historic Preservation Commission for review of exterior changes that require
a building permit to ensure that the changes will be compatible with the historic character of the building
and neighborhood. I view this regulation as a form of reasonable management of changes to the
neighborhood which will not only stabilize property values in the area but also preserve the character of the
neighborhood.
I have taken considerable time to talk with my neighbors about the OPH and have been pleased to fmd that
there is overwhelming support for the designation. In fact, I encountered some concern that the Gilbert-
Linn district would not be completed.
The Gilbert-Linn district is at the center of the Northside and as such really is the symbol ofIowa City's
past, providing a sense of place for the community and adding to the quality oflife here. While there has
been an effort on the part of a number of property owners to improve and restore the neighborhood, there
still remains a core group of property owners who resist cooperating with the community to insure that the
Northside continues to be a vibrant, mixed use neighborhood.
I am asking that the commission take into consideration the benefits and good that a historic district will
provide for the future ofIowa City. For example, historic districts enhance the cultural and arts institutions
in the area by attracting visitors seeking historic or cultural experience. A study released in 2002
identifying great college towns, included the presence of historic sites and districts as part of its index.
(Iowa City ranked in the top ten of small cities in the epodunk study) Currently, the Iowa City Council is
considering the designation of a Cultural District that includes a large portion of the Northside. It seems
natural that the Gilbert-Linn and other Historic Districts in this area will contribute to and enhance Iowa
City's Cultural District.
I encourage you and your fellow Committee or Council members to support the Historic Preservation
Overlay for both Ronalds and Gilbert-Linn...
Thank you.
Yours truly, µ

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
This property was annexed to Iowa City in 2003, as part of a larger annexation including property
on the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard and properties owned by the Iowa City Municipal
Airport. The extension of Mormon Trek Boulevard and associated public utilities was recently
completed adjacent to this property, providing the infrastructure to support commercial
development.
This property is zoned CI-1, Intensive Commercial, which is a zone intended to provide for those
businesses characterized by outdoor display, storage and/or sales of merchandise, repair of
motor vehicles, and other operations conducted in buildings that may not be completely enclosed
such as contractor pre-assembly yards, hardware stores, etc. The CI-1 zone also allows office
uses. The applicant is proposing an 11-lot commercial subdivision.
ANAL YSIS:
Subdivision design
The subdivision consists of two street extensions, Grace Drive and Eagle View Drive, providing
access to 11 commercial lots. Eagle View Drive is currently a chip-seal road that was constructed
as part of the Mormon Trek Boulevard project; it will be reconstructed to local street standards as
part of this project. Grace Drive is designed as a collector street, as it is planned to extend to the
east when the property to the east is annexed and developed. Though these roads are opposite
the two legs of City View Drive (on the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard) the City requested
different street names to make emergency response and service delivery less confusing.
'Old' Dane Road will be a north-south connecting street between Grace Drive and Eagle View
Drive. At this time, Dane Road is designed as a County chip-seal road; the eastern half of the
road is still outside of City corporate limits. The applicant is dedicating right-of-way for the western
half of the road for a future street to be constructed to City standards. Staff is recommending
escrow funds be required for future reconstruction of this segment of Dane Road to city
standards; the road will be able to be reconstructed when the property to the east is annexed to
the City and is subdivided.
Access control
The plat includes a note that lots 1, 6-7, 9 and 11 shall not have direct access to Mormon Trek
Boulevard. Grace Drive and Eagle View Drive will form four-way intersections with the two legs of
City View Drive on the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard. At the direction of staff, Grace Drive
and Eagle View Drive will each have left turn lanes (as well as right turn / through lanes) where
they intersect with Mormon Trek Boulevard. Lot 11 is proposed to have access from the property
to the east, which is planned to have an access point to Mormon Trek Boulevard opposite Dane
Road. This access point was approved as part of the access control plan developed when
Mormon Trek Boulevard was designed. An access easement agreement to this access point will
need to be recorded prior to a final plat for this property being approved.
A copy of a letter from Assistant Planning Director Davidson regarding the access control plan for
this segment of Mormon Trek Boulevard is attached.

Storm water management
The existing storm water management basin recently constructed to serve the Carousel Motors
development is proposed to be eliminated, and stormwater is proposed to be directed to the
property to the east, the Allegra Dane property. The basin is proposed along the south side of the
Airport property. With the final plat for this subdivision, a storm water easement plat and
agreement with the property owner will need to be recorded for the stormwater pipe and basin.
Airport / Federal Aviation Administration concerns
This subdivision is adjacent to the Iowa City Municipal Airport, which is in the design stage of
extending Runway 7 to the south west. Much of the northern portion of the subdivision is
affected by the 'Transitional Overlay' Zone of Runway 7, which is a sloping imaginary plane
sloping up from the sides of the Approach Overlay Zone. An airspace study for development
underneath the Transitional Overlay Zone will need to be approved by the FAA to ensure the
development does not penetrate the Transitional Overlay Zone, and to ensure the development
includes appropriate object markers and warning lights so pilots can differentiate between the
runway and the private development, particularly on rainy or foggy days. For example,
Carousel Motors on the west side of Mormon Trek Boulevard has red warning lights on its roof
and signs. Staff is recommending the airspace study for the infrastructure in this development,
including the storm water basin, be approved prior to final plat approval.
Water main extension fee: A water main extension fee of $395/ acre will be required.
Sanitary sewer tap-on fee: A sanitary sewer tap-on fee of approximately $3,200 / acre will be
required. These fees are required to help off-set costs to the public for extending water and
sanitary sewer mains to developing property.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB04-00023, a preliminary plat of Davis Second and Third Addition, a
19.81 acre, 11-lot commercial subdivision, be approved, subject to escrow funds being required
with the final plat for future reconstruction of Dane Road adjacent to Lots 4 and 8, and Federal
Aviation Administration approval of the infrastructure prior to final plat approval.

Re: Access control plan for future Mormon Trek Boulevard extension between. Iowa Highway
1 and Dane Road
Dear Dave:
Pursuant to our several discussions this week, the following will provide guidance for you to use
in the platting of the Davis and Dane property along the Mormon Trek Boulevard extension
between Iowa Highway 1 and Dane Road. This letter is not intended to supplant any
requirements of the platting process; it is intended to indicate an access control plan that can be
supported by City staff. This letter references the concept plan you provided us dated 5/14/03.
Beginning at Iowa Highway 1, an access point may be located in the approximate vicinity of the
temporary access easement which has been granted to the Rock's Roadhouse property. This is
approximately 350 feet from the Iowa Highway 1 intersection; it should not be moved further
north. This may be a T intersection or a four-way intersection.
Proceeding south, an access may be located at the proposed street intersection shown on the
concept plan dated 5/14/03. This may be either a T intersection or a full four-way intersection,
and should provide access to commercial lots in the vicinity. This access point is located
approximately 350 feet from the Rock's Roadhouse temporary access easement.
Proceeding south, an access point may be located opposite the proposed intersection of
relocated Dane Road. This would provide access to lots on the Davis property, including the
proposed lots 8 and 9 which shall not have direct access to Mormon Trek Boulevard. This
access point is located approximately 500 feet from the access point discussed in the preceding
paragraph.
Proceeding south, a four-way intersection is proposed at the location where Dane Road will be
intersecting Mormon Trek Boulevard Extended from the south. This will be a four-way.
intersection that also provides access to the Dane and Davis properties. This access point is
approximately 850 feet from the access point discussed in the preceding paragraph.
To conclude, three new access points are proposed between Iowa Highway 1 and the existing
alignment of Dane Road. These are to be three-way T intersections or full four-way
intersections, and all should be designed so that they could accommodate a traffic signal in the
future if warranted. A design should be used with separated left and through/right lanes on all
HO EAST WASHINGTON STREET' IOWA CITY, IOWA 52240-1826 . (319) 356-5000 . FAX (319) 356-5009
,\'
access points exiting onto Mormon Trek Boulevard. There shall be no offset intersections. There
shall be no additional lot access to Mormon Trek Boulevard. Cross-access easements between
lots and street alignments within the subdivision will be determined during the platting process.
All items included in this letter are consistent with the zoning code revisions being prepared for
the City Council.
Let me know if there are any questions.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The Saddlebrook development was annexed into the City in 1994. The annexation and zoning of
this property was subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). The major conditions of the
CZA specified that the applicant would provide for wetland protection and mitigation; construction
of a trail network; dedication or payment of fees for neighborhood open space and dedication of a
school site. The subject area was zoned RS-8, Medium Density Single-Family at that time. Earlier
this year a Planned Development Housing Overlay (OPDH) over the existing RS-8 zoning was
approved to allow the development of single-family homes, duplexes and townhouses. The OPDH
request allows lot area and lot widths that are smaller than what would be allowed in a standard
RS-8 neighborhood.
ANAL YSIS:
The preliminary plat complies with the approve OPDH plan. As provided for in the OPDH plan
many of the lots are narrower and smaller in lot area than normally required by the underlying
RS-8 zoning. Lots 28-32 are for town house units. Lots 33-37, 39-43, 45-47, 22-27 are for
single-family homes. Lots 38, 44 and 21 are for duplexes. Lots 1-20 are for attached zero lot
line dwellings. A common private open space is located near the center of the subdivision.
Public alleys will provide vehicular access for the lots located south and west of Blazing Star
Drive. The preliminary plat does contain minor technical deficiencies that should be corrected
prior to the Commission's vote.
Neighborhood Open Space: The Neighborhood Open Space Ordinance requires the
dedication of 16,500 square feet of public open space or payment of fees in lieu of open space
for a development of this size. The Parks and Recreation Commission has indicated that open
space dedication for the Saddlebrook development should occur in the far western portion of
the RS-8 zone where it can be added to the Sycamore Greenway. At the time the final plat is
approved, the legal papers should specify this.
Mitigation Plan: The CZA for Saddle brook requires that a mitigation plan be submitted for each
phase of the development to show how the wetlands will be protected from stormwater runoff.
Update of the mitigation plan is required with the stormwater calculations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
