Discuss parameters of a possible Transfer of Density Rights Ordinance
Development Service Coordinator Sitzman and Senior Planner Russett presented a power point to
discuss the parameters of a possible Transfer of Density Rights Ordinance. The presentation covered
the following 5 areas relating to policy questions for Council guidance: Eligible sending sites, Transfer
Formula, Priority of preserving historic resources compared to other public benefits, Review and
approval process for transfers, and Eligible receiving sites.
Action: The following direction was given: (1) Sending sites will include only future local historic
landmarks. (2) A new density formula will be developed by NDS staff. (3) For purposes of the draft
ordinance, TDR bonuses will be treated in a manner similar to the current bonus provisions. Council
and/or staff may wish to revisit this topic at a later date. (4) Application of TDR bonuses to receiving
sites will require City Council approval. (5) Options for receiving sites will include the Riverfront
Crossings District and sites that allow multi -unit development citywide. At a later date, staff will consider
the possibility of adding underperforming commercial areas and the South Johnson / Van Buren area to
the list of eligible receiving sites.
Review Emerald Ash Borer Response Strategy
Parks & Recreation Director Seydell-Johnson and Parks & Forestry Superintendent Hall presented a
power point and gave an update on the Emerald Ash Borer, the approach the City has been using and
a recommended strategy for continuing forward. Mike Kinter, with the Iowa Department of Agriculture
and Land Stewardship also presented a power point with additional information on the Emerald Ash
Borer.
Action: The following direction was given: (1) Parks will proceed with removals of Ash Trees that pose
a public safety risk or that are needed to facilitate public improvement projects. (2) Additionally, staff will
also move ahead with a chemical treatment plan for the Ash Trees identified as the best candidates for
treatment. Each of the 400 trees will be re -assessed prior to treatment to ensure that the most viable
trees will be prioritized. Further, the focus of treatment will be on street corridors with heavy Ash
populations. Healthy trees that do not play a significant role in a block's tree canopy may not be
treated. Staff will report back to the Council in a future Information Packet on our treatment plan.

inventory will take place at a work session in October. (4) Communications will assist Parks staff with
