MAYOR Office Botchway Dickens Dobyns Hayek Mims Payne Throgmorton Jib STAFF REPORT To: Planning and Zoning Commission Prepared by: Marti Wolf, Planning Intern Item: VAC16-00001 Date: June 2, 2016 GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Judith H.W. Crossett 1504 Grand Avenue University Heights, IA 52246 319-331-7696 Laura Crossett 1420 Yewell Iowa City, IA 52240 319-389-0449 Contact Person: (same as applicant) Requested Action: Vacation of a right-of-way Purpose: To allow vacated right of way to be acquired by abutting property owners Location: Cottonwood Avenue, east of Yewell Street Size: Approximately 7,441 square feet (0.17 acres) Existing Land Use and Zoning: Vacant right-of-way Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Residential (RS -5) South: Residential (RS -5) East: Residential (RS -5) West: Public Right -of -Way (Yewell Street) Comprehensive Plan: Central District Plan File Date: May 3, 2016 BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, Judith H.W. Crossett is applying for a vacation of the Cottonwood Avenue public right-of- way east of Yewell Street, a 7,441 square feet area located immediately south of 1420 Yewell Street. The applicant is requesting this vacation to release the right-of-way designation from the area, to allow it to be acquired. The applicant discovered this area was right-of-way when planning for an addition to the house at 1420 Yewell Street. The right-of-way is unimproved, and appears to have functioned as a shared driveway for the properties at 1420 and 1502 Yewell Street for decades. 2 This portion of the Cottonwood Avenue public right-of-way appears to have been designated as such to allow for future extension through to Franklin Street. However, directly to the east, the Highlander Development Addition subdivision plat, submitted in 1953, does not include a right-of-way to allow for the extension of Cottonwood Avenue. An aerial map sent by the property owner at 1502 Yewell Street shows a shared driveway in the right-of-way area, providing access to rear garages at both abutting properties. The dead-end right-of-way area requested to be vacated currently includes a gravel drive that provides access to the property at 1502 Yewell St. and the applicant's property. ANALYSIS: a) Vehicular and pedestrian circulation and access to private property: The right-of-way has never been developed and does not currently allow vehicular traffic, as it currently dead -ends at the rear parcel line for 1421 Franklin Street and is not used for general traffic or pedestrian circulation. As a result, it has been determined that the right-of-way is not required for current or future vehicular circulation. b) Emergency and utility and service access: Emergency, utility, and service access to this right-of-way will not be impacted by the vacation. The right-of-way does not currently provide access to any parcels or properties that cannot be directly accessed from a street. Staff has contacted private utility companies for their easement needs. To date, private utility companies have not responded. Staff will recommend easements for any private utilities in the right- of-way. It appears MidAmerican Energy (electric utility) occupies a portion of the right-of-way. c) Impact on access of adjacent private properties The Cottonwood Avenue right-of-way provides access to the adjacent private properties at 1420 and 1502 Yewell Street. It appears residents 1502 Yewell Street and 1420 Yewell Street are utilizing the right-of-way area as a shared driveway and for parking. Persons associated with 1502 and 1420 Yewell Street have expressed interest in acquiring this segment of the Cottonwood Avenue right-of-way. It has been the City's practice that if both abutting property owners are interested, half of the right-of-way be offered to each abutting property owner (pending City Council approval of a purchase offer). d) Desirability of right of way for access or circulation needs The right-of-way was likely designated as such for future extension of Cottonwood Avenue to connect to Franklin Street, which never came to fruition. Since the existing property at 1421 Franklin Street would prevent a future connection to Franklin street, this section of the Cottonwood Avenue right-of-way has little desirability, and since the right-of-way does not provide any public access or circulation, the right-of- way designation is not necessary. e) Location of utilities and other easements or restrictions on the property Letters have been sent to private utility providers to determine any easement needs. Property owners have reported a utility pole existing in the right-of-way. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of VAC16-00001, a vacation of the Cottonwood Avenue public right-of-way, 7,741 square feet east of Yewell Street, subject to an access easement being created for the shared driveway, and creation of any necessary utility easements.

Seabold confirmed that is their intent for the townhomes, the back building may be some rental. Ken Raw (302 West Benton Street) questions why this neighborhood needs to be so changed to make it more owner -occupied, it has been fine for 40 years and has been largely the same as it is now. Raw acknowledged the new concept has some improvements but just does seethe need for this development. Freerks closed the public hearing. Hensch moved to approve an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for property located north of Benton Street and west of Orchard Street to be included in the Downtown and Riverfront Crossings Master Plan. Martin seconded the motion. Freerks noted her appreciation that the comments and concerns from the Commission and public were taken by the applicant and incorporated into an improved concept. She feels this could be good for the neighborhood and appreciates the set back of the third story. This concept will be a nice transition from the projects along Riverside Drive to the neighborhood to the west. Parsons agreed and likes that the parking was moved underground so there will be more green space and less parking lot lighting. Martin likes this and the opportunity for future projects it will allow. Theobald feels the concept shows some very positive changes, but does fear that the units won't be owner -occupied but purchased and then rented. Signs said he is struggling with this application. He appreciates the changes the applicant incorporated since hearing from the public and Commission, but is not convinced this project belongs at this location. It is a great urban look which is what the Riverfront Crossing District is about, but rather than building this project in Riverfront Crossings, we are moving Riverfront Crossings District to this project. He is concerned about scale with the houses that sit nearby. The proposed buildings still appear to be quite large. Hensch said he likes the idea of expanding the Riverfront Crossings District to include this area and hopes this will bring more stability to the area with owner -occupied homes. Hektoen noted that in light of the recommendation that the Commission made at the last meeting with regards to affordable housing in the Riverfront Crossings Zone that would then apply to this area if the amendment is approved by City Council. A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-1 (Signs voting no). VACATION ITEM (VAC16-00001): Discussion of an application submitted by Judith Crossett for a vacation of the Cottonwood Avenue public right-of-way east of Yewell Street, a 7,441 square foot area located immediately south of 1420 Yewell Street. Planning and Zoning Commission June 2, 2016—Formal Meeting Page 4 of 8 Wolf began the staff report stating the Judith and Laura Crossett applied for a building permit at 1420 Yewell Street with plans for an addition. Through that process they realized that the property was abutting this portion of Cottonwood Avenue right-of-way. Therefore they are applying for a vacation to lift the right-of-way designation. This right-of-way has functioned as a shared driveway, maintained by both owners, and is the only off-street parking that is provided for both those properties. This portion of the Cottonwood Avenue public right-of-way appears to have been designated as such to allow for future extension through to Franklin Street. However, directly to the east, the Highlander Development Addition subdivision plat, submitted in 1953, does not include a right-of-way to allow for the extension of Cottonwood Avenue. The right-of-way has never been developed and does not currently allow vehicular traffic, as it currently dead -ends at the rear parcel line for 1421 Franklin Street and is not used for general traffic or pedestrian circulation. There is a Mid -American pole that runs east -west on the property, and they will let the City know what utility easement they will need. The area of the lot is 60 feet and the addition at most would need 20 feet, so there will be area for the utility easement. Wolf explained that both abutting property owners have been willing to discuss a purchase offer as long as the utility easement doesn't span the rest of the area. There would also need to be a shared access easement so the abutting property owner still has the gravel parking area. Staff recommends approval of VAC16-00001, a vacation of the Cottonwood Avenue public right-of- way, 7,741 square feet east of Yewell Street, subject to an access easement being created for the shared driveway, and creation of any necessary utility easements. Miklo added that it will be likely that the right-of-way would be split in half with the southern property owner buying the southern half and the applicant buying the northern half. Freerks opened the public hearing. Judith Crossett (1504 Grand Avenue) stated she currently lives in University Heights and it is her daughter's property at 1420 Yewell, but this is a joint project so she speaks for both of them. What they want to do is add a bedroom and bathroom to the south end of the house where she will move into. It will not be a grandiose addition and they definitely don't want anyone to lose their driveway access, and they will conform to paving the end of the driveway that is required. Peter Hendlev (1502 Yewell Street) lives to the south and is concerned about maintaining the off- street parking. Freerks closed the public hearing. Parsons moved to approve VAC16-00001 a vacation of the Cottonwood Avenue public right- of-way east of Yewell Street, a 7,441 square foot area located immediately south of 1420 Yewell Street subject to an access easement being created for the shared driveway, and creation of any necessary utility easements. Martin seconded the motion. Freerks feels this will not cause any issues and the right-of-way will still function for the needs of the abutting property owners. A vote was taken and the motion carried 7-0.

Karr City Clerk, Iowa City, Iowa (END OF NOTICE) r ri.®a7 CITY OF IOWA CITY g x4In MEMORANDUM To: Geoff Fruin, Interim City Manager From: Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator Date: July 5, 2016 Re: Public Hearing on City -University Project 1; Amendment #14 Introduction State Code requires an Urban Renewal Plan be amended to include any project for which the City Council may wish to use TIF financing or consider entering into a development agreement as financial partner. Amendment #14 adds land to the Urban Renewal Area but does not add a specific project. The additional land is the one block area bordered by Gilbert St., Washington St., Van Buren St., and Iowa Avenue. The addition of this land to the Urban Renewal Plan is necessary to consider a future project on the block that may require tax increment financing. History/background The original City -University Project I Urban Renewal Area was established in 1969 and has been amended thirteen times to accomplish various urban renewal projects. Amendment #14 would allow the City Council to consider a project in the block on which City Hall and the former Unitarian Universalist Church are located. It is unknown if TIF will be needed to facilitate the possible private or public improvements at this location in the future. This action simply provides the City the ability to contemplate such a project. Discussion of Solution The following paragraphs document the procedural requirements completed for amending an Urban Renewal Plan: a) Resolution of Necessity A Resolution of Necessity to consider Amendment #14 to the City University Urban Renewal Plan was adopted by the City Council (#16-184) on June 6, 2016. b) Consultation with Taxing Entities Notice of a consultation between the City of Iowa City and the affected taxing entities (the school district and the County) concerning the proposed Amendment #14 to the City -University Urban Renewal Area was sent with individual letters of invitation to the meeting. The consultation was held on June 23, 2016, at 11:30 a.m. in the City Manager's Conference Room in City Hall. There were no representatives present from the affected taxing entities. State law requires that, if desired, the taxing entities must submit any written recommendations for modification of the proposed division of revenue within 7 days after the consultation. There were no submissions received. August 4, 2014 Page 2 c) Notice of Public Hearing On July 7, 2016, a Notice of the Public Hearing on July 19, 2016 regarding Amendment #14 to the City -University Project 1 Urban Renewal Plan was published in the Iowa City Press Citizen, meeting the requirement that the notice be published between 4 and 20 days prior to the public hearing. Recommendation It is important to reiterate that this amendment simply provides the flexibility for the City to add a project at a future date should the need for one be identified. Any project details and financing would be contemplated separately. All procedural steps have been completed and staff recommends adoption of the City -University Project 1 Amendment #14.
