Attachments: Resolution
Executive Summary:
A recent retirement of a Senior Maintenance Worker - Government Buildings led to a review of
division functions and needs. The duties and administrative responsibilities of the Facility
Manager have grown to a point whereby the position of Assistant Manager is necessary for
adequate supervision and management of the Government Buildings operations. The routine
maintenance of the public buildings and attention to the back log of smaller projects will be
increased with additional leadership provided by this changed position.
Background /Analysis:
The change to create an Assistant Facility Manager creates a leadership structure that will allow
for additional evening and weekend coverage of staffing and building needs. The position will also
oversee smaller repairs, contracts and projects throughout City facilities. Overall, the number of
Government Building staff members in each facility will not change.
The AFSME and Administrative Pay Plans will be amended by deleting one full-time Senior
Maintenance Worker -Government Buildings position, AFSCME grade 9 and adding one full-time
Assistant Facilities Manager position, Administrative grade 27.

Whereas, Resolution No. 17-14, adopted by the City Council on January 2, 2017 established
classification and compensation plans for AFSCME employees and for Administrative,
Confidential, and Executive employees; and
Whereas, the duties, responsibilities and requirements of the Assistant Facilities Manager
position have been evaluated and grade 27 of the Administrative pay plan has been determined
to be the appropriate classification; and
Whereas, a recent retirement leaves an open Senior Maintenance Worker— Government
Buildings position unfilled allowing division to assess needs. This assessment leads to the
conclusion that the Senior Maintenance Worker position should be eliminated; and
Whereas, the duties and administrative responsibilities of the Facilities Manager have grown to
a point whereby the position of Assistant Facility Manager is necessary for adequate
supervision and management of the Government Building custodial, maintenance and capital
project operations; and
Whereas, it is in the City's best interest to adopt this resolution.
Now Therefore, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Iowa City, Iowa that:
The budgeted positions in the Government Buildings Division of the Parks and Recreation

COUNCIL ACTION REPORT
January 21, 2020
Resolution amending the budgeted positions in the City Manager's Office
and Public Works and the AFSCME pay plan by deleting the position Public
Information/Education Coordinator — Public Works and adding the position
Climate Action Engagement Specialist to grade 12.
Prepared By: Ashley Monroe, Assistant City Manager
Karen Jennings, Human Resources Administrator
Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager
Fiscal Impact: No impact.
Recommendations: Staff: Approval
Commission: N/A
Attachments: Resolution
Executive Summary:
Approval of this resolution will remove the Public I nformation/Education Coordinator, grade 12 in
the AFSCME pay plan, from the Public Works Department and add a Climate Action
Engagement Specialist position, at grade 12, to the Climate Action and Outreach division within
the City Manager's Office. This position will be responsible for community outreach, volunteer
coordination, and communication support as they pertain to the City's climate action objectives. As
public discussions with City Council and the Climate Action Commission evolved, it became clear
that the City would benefit from someone to strengthen external community relationships and
expand climate action outreach. Modification of the existing position to a role dedicated to
engagement and messaging for climate action initiatives will fulfill this goal.
Background /Analysis:
In the Accelerating Iowa City's Climate Actions Report (100 Day Climate Report) issued on
November 14, 2019, and during the presentation of the FY2021 budget, the City Manager
presented a plan to establish a division of Climate Action and Outreach within the City Manager's
Office. This proposal outlined a grouping of three staff within the proposed Division that will
undertake activities to achieve the City's climate action goals. Staff recognized the desire from
leadership and the community for amplified emphasis upon climate action education and
initiatives. Therefore, hiring someone to lead this engagement is being pursued in a still -early
stage of climate action implementation.
The Public Information/Education Coordinator position will be shifted to the Climate Action and
Outreach division in the City Manager's Office, and modified to meet organization needs for
climate action. This resolution proposes only the modification of the Public I nformation/Education
Coordinator and re -envisioning the role as an engagement specialist. The grade 12 position will
move from the Public Works Department to the City Manager's Office.
Other positions planned for the Climate Action and Outreach Division include a Climate Action
Coordinator (previously known as Sustainability Coordinator), that will move from the Department
of Neighborhood and Development Services, and a climate action "analyst" role to be proposed
later this year. The skills and responsibilities necessary for the "analyst" position will be
determined after the Climate Action Commission concludes their review of the 100 Day Report
and City Council adopts the recommended report actions. At that time, changes required for the
"analyst" position will be presented to Council for consideration. In the meantime, the Engagement
Specialist will work alongside the Climate Action Coordinator to fulfill climate action initiatives.
The Public Information/Education Coordinator position is currently unfilled. With approval of this
resolution, staff will update the AFSCME pay plan to reflect the change and post the Climate
Action Engagement Specialist position.

In December 2019, Rob Sand, Auditor of the State of Iowa, released a report on a special investigation
of Metro Waste Authority (MWA) at the requested of the Executive Director of MWA. Within this report,
unsupported disbursements, those deemed not to have gone through a competitive process, were
identified to International Telemetry Technologies, LLC (ITT), and improper disbursements were
identified to Lemar Programming Company, LLC (LPC). LPC was established by Tracy Lemar, co-
founder of Barker Lemar Engineering Consultants (BLEC). ITT was established by Mr. Lemar and
other employees of BLEC. The Auditor Report did not find any wrong doing on the part of BLEC
Concerned with the implications of this report, Staff reviewed the City's records of the past
agreement with BLEC (2014 — 2019). While some invoicing for the Landfill's Flare (2015-2016)
did identify ITT, Staff did not find evidence of illicit activities. Staff met with the Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) and Chief Operations Officer (COO) of BLEC to better understand what
happened, what members of BLEC were involved, and measures they are implementing to
prevent this from happening in the future.
After review of the City's records and the meeting with the senior staff of BLEC, Staff has full
confidence in BLEC to carry out the duties and responsibilities within the consultant agreement. It
is recommended by Staff to proceed with this agreement.

-5 -
Task 15 — SDP Permit Amendment
The Consultant will finalize the permit amendment request to the DNR for permitting of the
Northeast Expansion. At the time of the original submittal of the SDP Permit Amendment, the
Facility had not finalized plans to develop the Northeast Expansion Area beyond a conceptual
design of a stand-alone cell. Based on communications with the DNR, only documentation of the
United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) approval of the Section 404 Permit is remaining
for approval of incorporation of the Northeast Expansion into the SDP Permit. Upon receipt of the
site-specific Section 404 Permit from the USACE and DNR, the Consultant will coordinate the

Resolution approving, authorizing and directing the Mayor to execute and the

and between the City of Iowa City and Strand Associates, Inc. to provide
engineering consultant services for the First Avenue and Scott Boulevard
Intersection Improvements Project.

Amendment to Agreement
Executive Summary:
Strand Associates, Inc. has completed phase one services for the First Avenue and Scott
Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project, and identified the preferred intersection alternative
to be a roundabout. The City now desires to broaden the scope of services to include phase two
services, and have the Consultant prepare preliminary and final design for construction of the First
Avenue and Scott Boulevard Intersection Improvements Project.
Background /Analysis:
The First Avenue and Scott Boulevard intersection is currently a four-way stop controlled
intersection that experiences significant queuing during peak hours, resulting in increased travel
times, delays, and emissions. In 2015, the City utilized a consultant to investigate the feasibility of
constructing a roundabout at this intersection. The consultant determined a standard modern
roundabout would handle projected traffic demands, improve vehicle safety, and provide better
speed control.
In December 2018, the City issued a request for proposals for engineering services to design
intersection improvements at the First Avenue and Scott Boulevard intersection. The City selected
Strand Associates, I nc. based on their experience with similar projects.
The City and Consultant entered into a Consultant Agreement on or about July 30, 2019. This
agreement was structured to include two (2) phases of services, with the first phase including an
Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE), and the second phase including the design of the preferred
intersection alternative.
City staff and the Consultant also met with ACT representatives to discuss the results of the ICE.
After this discussion, all parties agreed that the preferred alternative was the roundabout.

Executive Summary:
The City contracted with IIW, P.C. of Dubuque, IA in May, 2018 for consulting services. Final
design plans were submitted to the Iowa Department of Transportation (I DOT) on November 5,
2019 for the January 22, 2020 bid letting. During the bidding period, a number of deficiencies
were discovered. The DOT determined that the necessary changes would be considered
redesign, not appropriate for an addendum and recommended that the City withdraw the project
from the current letting. Revisions will be submitted to the DOT on January 17, 2020, and the
project has been tentatively rescheduled for the March 17, 2020 letting. The completion of the
project is still expected to be by Fall 2020.
Background /Analysis:
The Prentiss Street Bridge Reconstruction Project includes the replacement of the existing
Prentiss Street Bridge. Roadway improvements on Prentiss Street begin approximately 100 feet
east of South Linn Street and extend to South Dubuque Street. Improvements on South Linn
Street extend 200 feet north of Prentiss Street. Storm sewer on Prentiss Street is being replaced
to increase capacity and reduce surcharging during large rainfall events. The project also includes
improvements to ADA sidewalk ramps, public utilities and water main.
The 2015 Biennial Bridge Inspection Program reported that the existing Prentiss Street Bridge
over Ralston Creek is suffering from bulging and severe corrosion of the corrugated metal pipe
culverts, damaged and undermined inlet and headwall, and cracked street pavement. Recent
pavement replacement in the area uncovered significant voiding under the pavement, further
emphasizing the need for the project. The bridge is limited to a 20 -ton weight embargo due to its
current condition. In addition, the existing storm sewer along Prentiss Street, from Ralston Creek
to S. Dubuque Street is undersized and has a history of surcharging during large rain events.

Executive Summary:
This agenda item begins the bidding process for the Mercer Aquatic Center Pool LED Lighting
Project. The project includes improving energy efficiency and reduces carbon emissions by
replacing existing metal halide lighting fixtures with LED lighting fixtures. Lighting improvements
are needed for full visibility of swimmers in the pool.
Background /Analysis:
The project involves replacing the original 1986 metal halide pool ceiling light fixtures with high -
efficiency LED light fixtures. The intent of the project is to improve energy efficiency and also to
meet the current Iowa Department of Public Health pool code for lighting requirements. The new
light fixtures will be indirect lighting in an aluminum housing and are suitable for natatoriums,
corrosive and wet environments.
The most significant benefits are: increased brightness for safe monitoring of pool users,
extremely long lifespans (50,000 to 100,000 hours or more), very high energy efficiency,
extremely high light quality and little to no maintenance costs.

N/A since associated with an annexation
The applicant, Allen Homes, Inc., with the consent of the owners, Hieronymous Family
Partnership LLC., is requesting annexation and rezoning of 35.29 acres of property located
east of Eastbrook Street and north of American Legion Road. The applicant has requested
that the property be rezoned from County Residential (R) to Interim Development Single -
Family (ID -RS) for the entire 35.29 acres.
This area is located adjacent to Iowa City's current boundary and within Fringe Area B of
Johnson County's Fringe Area Agreement with Iowa City. The Southeast District Plan
shows this area within the City's growth area with a future land use of low/medium single-
family residential and duplex housing at a density of 2-8 dwelling units per acre. A western
portion of the property (shown below in Figure 1.0) is shown as having medium/high
density single-family residential and townhouse housing at a density of 8-13 dwelling units
per acre.

Fiqure 1.0 - Subiect Property within the Southeast District Plan Map
The applicant has chosen to not use the "Good Neighbor Policy" for this annexation and
rezoning. A subsequent rezoning will be necessary before the property is platted and
developed, at which time, staff would encourage the developer to hold a "Good Neighbor"
meeting.
ANALYSIS:
Annexation: The Comprehensive Plan has established a growth policy to guide decisions
regarding annexations. The annexation policy states that annexations are to occur
primarily through voluntary petitions filed by the property owners. Further, voluntary
annexation requests are to be reviewed under the following three criteria. The
Comprehensive Plan states that voluntary annexation requests should be viewed positively
when the following conditions exist.
1. The area under consideration falls within the adopted long-range planning boundary.
A general growth area limit is illustrated in the Comprehensive Plan and on the City's
Zoning Map. The subject property is located within the City's long-range growth boundary.
The boundary is located about 1 mile east of the subject property.
2. Development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without
imposing an undue burden on the City. The Comprehensive Plan encourages growth that is
contiguous and connected to existing neighborhoods to reduce the costs of providing
infrastructure and City services. The subject property is bordered by the city limits on the
west, north, and east sides. Therefore, the subject property is contiguous to current

The applicant has chosen to not use the "Good Neighbor Policy" for this annexation and
rezoning. A subsequent rezoning will be necessary before the property is platted and
developed, at which time, staff would encourage the developer to hold a "Good Neighbor"
meeting.
ANALYSIS:
Annexation: The Comprehensive Plan has established a growth policy to guide decisions
regarding annexations. The annexation policy states that annexations are to occur
primarily through voluntary petitions filed by the property owners. Further, voluntary
annexation requests are to be reviewed under the following three criteria. The
Comprehensive Plan states that voluntary annexation requests should be viewed positively
when the following conditions exist.
1. The area under consideration falls within the adopted long-range planning boundary.
A general growth area limit is illustrated in the Comprehensive Plan and on the City's
Zoning Map. The subject property is located within the City's long-range growth boundary.
The boundary is located about 1 mile east of the subject property.
2. Development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without
imposing an undue burden on the City. The Comprehensive Plan encourages growth that is
contiguous and connected to existing neighborhoods to reduce the costs of providing
infrastructure and City services. The subject property is bordered by the city limits on the
west, north, and east sides. Therefore, the subject property is contiguous to current
PCD\Staff Reports\staff report ann19-01 rez19-09-revised final.doc
ri
development and meets the goal of contiguous growth.
The Southeast District Plan pays specific attention to the subject area, calling it out as an
area that has been bypassed by past development in favor of leapfrog development to the
north and east. Within the subject area, the Southeast District Plan calls for single-family
and duplex residential development at low to medium densities, with some room for
medium/high density single-family residential and townhouse style development on the
property's west end. Development of this area will provide more efficiency for city services
and supply needed connections to existing surrounding development.
The proposed annexation will help to accomplish the City's larger goal of fulfilling the need
for expanded housing options to accommodate the City's growing population. Because of
this need, staff is recommending that as a condition of the rezoning, the developer satisfy
the Comprehensive Plan's amended Annexation Policy, as stated in Resolution 18-211. The
amended policy requires annexation of land for residential use of 10 or more dwelling units
satisfy the City's goal of creating and maintaining a supply of affordable housing by
providing affordable units equal to 10% of the total units in the annexed area, with an
assurance of long-term affordability.
3. Control of the development is in the City's best interest. The property is within the
Growth Area. It is appropriate that the proposed property be located within the city so that
residents of future development may be served by Fire, Police, water, and sanitary sewer
service. Annexation will allow the City to provide these services and control zoning so that
the subject area remains compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.
For the reasons stated above, staff finds that the proposed annexation complies with the
annexation policy.
Zoning: The subject property is currently zoned County (R) Residential. This zone allows for
single-family residential dwellings to be built in the subject area. Because of the subject
area's location in Iowa City's Fringe Area within the growth boundary, all development in
this area must be constructed to City standards and it is unlikely that development would
occur prior to annexation.
The applicant is requesting rezoning of the subject property to Interim Development Single -
Family (ID -RS) for all 35.29 acres of the property. The purpose of the Interim Development
zone is to provide areas of managed growth in which agricultural and non -urban land uses
can continue until the City is able to provide services to support development. Under this
zoning, the only use that is permitted by right is agriculture. The applicant is currently
exploring options for subdividing and developing the property. Because the proposed
layout of the property is still undetermined, interim zoning is appropriate for this property.
Sanitary Sewer and Water: The developer will be required to pay a water main extension
fee of $456.75 per acre before public improvements are constructed. The subject property
is located outside of the sewer tap -on fee district, and will not be required to pay sanitary
sewer tap -on fees. There is a stormwater detention easement over the northwestern
portion of the property. It is anticipated that any future development will mostly be located
outside of this easement area.
Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The subject property does not contain any
PCD\Staff Reports\staff report ann19-01 rez19-09-revised final.doc
5
environmentally sensitive features. The northern and western portions of the property
are located in the 100 and 500 -year flood plains.
Access and Street Design: To match existing right-of-way located to the west and east of
the subject property, staff is recommending that as a condition of the rezoning, the
developer dedicate 17 feet of additional right-of-way to the City when the property is
platted for future development. As the City performs road improvements to American
Legion Road over the next several years, staff is recommending another condition to
allow for the conveyance of a temporary construction easement to the City along the
north side of American Legion Road.
Since the proposed rezoning is only for Interim Development Single -Family residential
(ID -RS), the applicant does not yet have a design for street access and interior street
connectivity on the subject property. These designs will become available for analysis
upon subsequent rezoning and platting of the property.
NEXT STEPS:
Pending recommendation of approval of the proposed annexation and rezoning from the
Planning and Zoning Commission, the City Council will hold a public hearing. Before the
public hearing, utility companies and non -consenting parties will be sent the application via
certified mail. Pending approval of the annexation by the City Council, the application for
annexation will be sent to the Secretary of State's Office for final approval and
acknowledgement.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of ANN19-01 and REZ19-09, a voluntary annexation of
approximately 35.29 acres and a rezoning from County Residential (R) to Interim
Development — Single -Family Residential (ID -RS) with the following conditions:
1. The developer satisfies the Comprehensive Plan's Annexation Policy, as stated in
Resolution 18-211.
2. The dedication of 17 feet of additional public right-of-way along American Legion
Road to be dedicated to the City at the time of final platting.
3. Conveyance of a temporary construction easement to the City along the north side of
American Legion Road.

CASE NOS. ANN19-01 AND REZ19-09:
Applicant: Allen Homes, Inc.
Location: North of American Legion Road and east of Eastbrook Street
An application submitted by Allen Homes, Inc. for an annexation and rezoning from County
Residential (R) to Interim Development — Single -Family Residential (ID -RS) for approximately
35.29 acres of land currently in unincorporated Johnson County and located north of American
Legion Road and east of Eastbrook Street.
Russett began the staff report showing a location map of the property, the property is currently
in the County zoned residential, it is surrounded by the City. To the north it is zoned P (where
there is a City park), to the east there is single family, to the west is multifamily and to the south
Planning and Zoning Commission
November 7, 2019
Page 2 of 5
is more single family. The property is located in the Fringe Area B, which is inside the City's
growth boundary, and the proposed rezoning is to Interim Development Single -Family
Residential. That zone allows very low density single-family, it also allows plant related
agricultural uses such as row crops and some other non-residential uses (allowed provisionally
or through special exception). Russett noted an additional rezoning will be required before any
platting or development of this site takes place.
The applicant did not hold a good neighbor meeting, but staff will recommend a good neighbor
meeting be held upon the next rezoning. Staff has forwarded this application to the Johnson
County Board of Supervisors and the Scott Township Trustees and neither have expressed
concerns regarding the annexation or the rezoning.
The project site is located in the Southeast District Plan area, which again is within the City's
growth boundary. In terms of intended future land use Russett noted the majority of this site is
intended for low to medium single family residential and duplex housing at a density of 2-8
dwelling units per acre. A small western portion of the site allows for medium to high density
single-family residential and townhouse housing at a density of 8-13 dwelling units per acre.
Staff uses three criteria to review annexation requests. The area under consideration falls
within the adopted long-range planning boundary. (1) A general growth area limit is illustrated in
the Comprehensive Plan and on the City's Zoning Map; (2) Development in the area proposed
for annexation will fulfill an identified need without imposing an undue burden on the City and;
(3) Control of the development is in the City's best interest. Regarding the first criteria, the
subject property is located within the City's long-range growth boundary and surrounded by City
property. In terms of the second criteria, the Comprehensive Plan encourages growth that is
contiguous and connected to existing neighborhoods. The subject property is bordered by the
city limits on the west, north, and east sides. The property is specifically highlighted in the
Southeast District Plan as an example of leapfrog development to the north and east. The
proposed annexation will allow for implementation of the City's affordable housing policy upon
development of the site. Therefore, staff is recommending the satisfaction of this requirement
as a condition of the rezoning. For the third criteria, that control of the development is in the
City's best interest, this annexation will allow for contiguous provision of City services such as
Fire, Police, water, and sanitary sewer service. The City has an interest in administrating zoning
in this area to make sure that the objectives of the Comprehensive Plan are met.
Russett reiterated the requested rezoning is to ID -RS, Interim Development Single -Family.
Agricultural and nonurban uses can be continued within this zoning until the property is
developed. Because the applicant is still exploring options on how to develop and subdivide the
property this interim zoning designation is appropriate. In terms of sanitary sewer and water, the
developer will be required to pay a water main extension fee of $456.75 per acre before
development. The subject property is located outside of the sewer tap -on fee district, and will
not be required to pay sanitary sewer tap -on fees. The subject property is located within 100
and 500 -year flood plains. In terms of access and street design, to match existing right-of-way
located to the west and east of the subject property, staff is recommending that as a condition of
the rezoning, the developer dedicate 17 feet of additional right-of-way to the City when the
property is platted for future development. As the City performs road improvements to American
Legion Road over the next several years, staff is recommending the developer pay 12.5%
improvement costs to the American Legion Road frontage. Staff is also recommending another
Planning and Zoning Commission

Page 3 of 5
condition to allow for the conveyance of a temporary construction easement to the City along
the north side of American Legion Road for the reconstruction of American Legion Road. The
improvements will extend from Scott Boulevard on the west side all the way to Taft Avenue on
the east side. The City is looking at installing a roundabout at the intersection of Scott
Boulevard and American Legion Road, the improvements will also include buffered bike lanes, a
10 -foot sidewalk along the north side of American Legion Road and a 5 -foot sidewalk along the
south side as well as a grade -separated crossing at Hoover Elementary School. In terms of the
City's timeline, the City is currently trying to acquire property in this area and may bid this
project in spring 2020 but it may be pushed to fall 2020 or winter 2021.
The role of the Commission in this rezoning and annexation is to determine if it satisfies the
conditions as stated in the Comprehensive Plan, whether the proposed annexation and
rezoning falls within the growth boundary, whether if development in the area proposed will fill
an identified need, and whether control of development in the City's best interest.
In terms of next steps, after the Planning and Zoning Commission makes a recommendation,
the City Council will hold a public hearing. Before the public hearing, utility companies and non -
consenting parties will be sent the application via certified mail. Pending approval of the
annexation by the City Council, the application for annexation will be sent to the Secretary of
State's Office for final approval and acknowledgement.
Staff recommends approval of ANN 19-01 and REZ19-09, a voluntary annexation of
approximately 35.29 acres and a rezoning from County Residential (R) to Interim Development
— Single -Family Residential (ID -RS) with the following conditions:
1. The developer satisfies the Comprehensive Plan's Annexation Policy, as stated in
Resolution 18-211.
2. The dedication of 17 feet of additional public right-of-way along American Legion Road to be
dedicated to the City.
3. Conveyance of a temporary construction easement to the City along the north side of
American Legion Road.
Hensch sought confirmation that, since this was an ID rezoning, this property would definitely
come back before the Commission prior to development. Russett confirmed the Commission
would see it again when it is rezoned for development.
With regard to the improvements to American Legion Road, Hensch noted it is in the five-year
road plan. Russett confirmed that is correct and the latest the project would be bid is winter
2021.
Hensch noted to the west is a water detention area to combat flooding and asked if this property
was outside of that flooding area. Russett said a portion of that water retention area is in the
project site so that area will have to remain an outlot and not be developed.
Baker asked when this application comes back before the Commission on the next rezoning it is
possible the entire project could be developed at the higher density that is allowable in the
western portion. Russett stated that is not possible. When the applicant requests the rezoning,
they may just request one zone district but it is possible to request two zone districts, having the
Planning and Zoning Commission

western portion at a higher density
Hensch opened the public hearing.
John Yapp (930 4th Avenue) is representing Allen Homes, the applicant, he wanted to speak
about the temporary construction easement that staff has recommended. Yapp said he talked
with staff about (and it's not reflected in the report) if his project moves faster than the American
Legion Road project they would grade that area where the temporary construction easement is
to meet both their purposes and the City's purposes. This would potentially reduce, or
eliminate, the size of that temporary construction easement and this was something staff was
agreeable to and would put in the conditional zoning agreement.
Hensch asked if the area was currently being row cropped. Yapp confirmed it was. Hensch
asked it was being farmed by the owner or leased. Yapp replied it was leased. Hensch asked
what the CSR was for the property. Yapp is unsure of the CSR.
Hensch asked about the flooding area. Yapp said there was a floodway easement
approximately where the 100 -year flood plain is. Hench noted that in the 1993 flood that whole
area was under water.
Hensch closed the public hearing.
Parsons moved to recommend approval of ANN19-01 and REZ19-09, a voluntary
annexation of approximately 35.29 acres and a rezoning from County Residential (R) to
Interim Development — Single -Family Residential (ID -RS) with the following conditions:
1. The developer satisfies the Comprehensive Plan's Annexation Policy, as stated in
Resolution 18-211.
2. The dedication of 17 feet of additional public right-of-way along American Legion
Road to be dedicated to the City.
3. Conveyance of a temporary construction easement to the City along the north
side of American Legion Road.
Townsend seconded the motion.
Baker asked about the next steps and what was meant by "non -consenting parties" to the
annexation. Russett noted that is not applicable in this case, it is only required if there are any
non -consenting landowners that don't want to be annexed. In this case all of the parties are
consenting.
Parsons feels this application makes sense for the overall development along American Legion
road. Signs agreed.
Baker went on record to say he feels it will end up being higher density than what is discussed
here, but that can be reviewed at the next stage of rezoning.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 7-0

This agreement is made between the City of Iowa City, Iowa, a municipal corporation
(hereinafter "City"), Summit Ridge, LLC and Allen Development, Inc. (hereinafter collectively
referred to as "Owners").

Policy that states:
If the annexation is for residential development that will result in the creation of ten (10)
or more new housing units, the development will support the City's goal of creating and
maintaining the supply of affordable housing. Such support shall be based on a goal of
providing affordable units equal to 10% of the total units in the annexed area with an
assurance of long-term affordability, preferably for a term of not less than 20 years.

lots/units to the City or an affordable housing provider; fee -in -lieu paid to the City's
affordable housing fund; and/or participation in a state or federal housing program. In
determining the most desirable option, preference shall be weighted toward options that
help achieve better socio-economic balance among Iowa City neighborhoods and
among schools in the Iowa City Community School District. An agreement committing
the Owner/Developer to the affordable housing obligation shall be required prior to
annexation, and shall be further memorialized, if necessary, in a conditional zoning
agreement.
Whereas, the Planning and Zoning Commission considered this application and recommended
approval subject to compliance with the adopted Annexation Policy; and
Whereas, it is in the public interest to execute this agreement consistent with the adopted

Resolution establishing the design elements necessary to begin design and
engineering documents for the Rochester Avenue Reconstruction Project.
Prepared By: Jason Reichart, Sr. Civil Engineer
Reviewed By: Jason Havel, City Engineer
Ron Knoche, Public Works Director
Geoff Fruin, City Manager
Fiscal Impact: None
Recommendations: Staff: Approval
Commission: N/A
Attachments: Sidewalk Map
Resolution
Executive Summary:
This agenda item approves certain design elements to be included in the Rochester Avenue
Reconstruction Project. Specifically, City staff is asking for confirmation of design elements
related to the location of sidewalks, bike lanes and turn lanes throughout the corridor.
Considering the City's pedestrian accessibility and bicycle network improvement goals, identified
in part within City's Complete Streets Policy and Bicycle Master Plan, City Staff is recommending
the project include a two-lane roadway with sidewalk on both sides of the street, as well as
dedicated bike lanes, on Rochester Avenue within the project area.
The City also requested the project consultant, Snyder & Associates, Inc., study the need for a
center turn lane throughout the corridor, similar to what exists today. Based on the results of the
Consultant's traffic study, City staff would also recommend reconstructing Rochester Avenue as a
two-lane section with turn lanes only in specific locations.
Background /Analysis:
The Rochester Avenue Reconstruction Project will include complete reconstruction of Rochester
Avenue from First Avenue to the bridge over Ralston Creek. Additionally, the project will include
improvements to the sidewalk, ADA curb ramps, utilities, signage, landscaping, and other
associated work. Rochester Avenue serves as an important arterial within Iowa City, and the street
pavement has reached the end of its useful life and requires frequent maintenance.
The City issued a request for proposals for engineering services for the Rochester Avenue
Reconstruction Project. Snyder & Associates, Inc. was selected based on their experience with
projects of similar type and size.
During the functional design phase, the Consultant utilized design resources, including the City's
Complete Streets Policy and Bicycle Master Plan, to develop various design alternatives. These
design alternatives have been presented to neighbors and local stakeholders at three (3) public
meetings. The public meeting invitations focused on the following groups:
• Residents immediately adjacent to properties that currently do not have sidewalk (meeting
held Monday, November 25, 2019)
• Residents immediately adjacent to Rochester Avenue within the project area (meeting held
Tuesday, December 3, 2019)
• Residents within the general area of the project (meeting held Thursday, January 16, 2020).
While it is the City's policy to typically include sidewalk on both sides of an arterial street (including
a wide sidewalk on one side), this section of Rochester Avenue has limited right-of-way and other
constraints. Because of those factors, the design alternatives that were presented at the public
meetings included standard sidewalk on both sides of the street. In general, there were minimal
comments related to replacing sidewalk in areas where it currently exists. However, staff received
a number of comments regarding sidewalk infill in areas that currently do not have sidewalk. The
majority of attendees that live adjacent to these areas objected to the addition of infill sidewalk.
Among the concerns raised were the loss of mature trees, additional maintenance, difficulty of
accessing the sidewalk in back yards, and a perceived lack of need for sidewalk on both sides of
Rochester.
On -street bike lanes are called out in the City's Bicycle Master Plan for this section of Rochester
Avenue, and were included in the design alternatives presented in the public meetings. Minimal
comments were received regarding the addition of on -street bike lanes, although some discussion
occurred related to the need for these facilities.
As part of the preliminary design process, the Consultant was asked to evaluate the need for a
center turn lane throughout the Rochester Avenue corridor, as it exists today. The results of that
study show that Rochester Avenue would continue to operate efficiently as a two-lane section.
They recommend to include turn lanes from Rita Lyn Court to First Avenue, but not include a
center turn lane for the rest of the corridor. A few comments were received related to the center
turn lane, mentioning maintaining the center turn lane to assist residents with entering/exiting
driveways.
City Staff has also consulted with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) District
Forester to determine how the proposed design alternatives could potentially impact trees along
the corridor. During the on-site evaluation in the proposed sidewalk infill areas, some concerns
were raised about project construction adjacent to the trees. Any disturbance in these areas could
have a negative impact on their long-term health, whether or not additional sidewalk infill is
constructed. In addition, some larger trees were identified to be removed due to the potential for
falling limbs and other risks.

Design Elements —Center Turn Lane
The Consultant completed a traffic study to evaluate the
need for a center turn lane
➢ Results show that Rochester would continue to operate
efficiently as a two-lane section

Design Elements — Sidewalk
• The majority of neighbors immediately adjacent to infill areas objected to the addition
of sidewalk for the following reasons
➢ Lack of need for additional
sidewalk
➢ Difficulty accessing and
maintaining the sidewalk
➢ Loss of mature trees
Design Elements — Sidewalk
Lack of Need for Additional Sidewalk
• Neighbors commented on the need for traffic calming citing high speeds and unsafe
pedestrian crossing conditions
➢ Neighbors proposed flashing beacons, improved pedestrian crossing, and additional
crossings guards in lieu of the additional sidewalk
➢ These elements may help but are not consistent with Complete Streets
• Rochester serves as a connection to downtown and University with Regina School and
commercial area near First Avenue
➢ Project located less than 1 mile from downtown

To: council Late Handouts Distributed
Subject: Rochester Avenue Reconstruction Project
(Date)
To the Council:
We attended the Rochester Avenue Reconstruction Project informational meeting on January 16. After the presentation,
we asked the presenter why it was necessary to include sidewalks on the south side of Rochester Avenue between 7th
Avenue and Ashwood. He explained that the designs needed to comply with city policy, which requires sidewalks on both
sides of arterial streets. Along this section of the road, putting in sidewalks would require that retaining walls be
installed. If the sidewalks are at street level, the retaining walls would make it very difficult for the homeowners to
maintain the grass in the parkway in the summer and to keep the sidewalks clear of snow and ice in the winter. Adding
stairways to accommodate the homeowners would increase the cost. If the sidewalks are at the top of the retaining walls,
connecting the sidewalks to the streets would be awkward, at best, at the intersections of 7th Avenue and Rochester
Court with Rochester Avenue. In either case, having retaining walls would make the addition of sidewalks expensive. We
see no reason to have sidewalks along the south side of this section of the road. To require them just to conform with the
other arterial streets in Iowa City is not a good use of taxpayer dollars. We ask that the City Council make an exception to
city policy and not require sidewalks along the south side of Rochester Avenue between 7th Avenue and Ashwood. The
Council has made exceptions to other city policies. We think an exception is warranted in this case. Thank you.
