VARIANCE ITEM ` >• i j
1. VR -9102. Public hearing on a request submitted by Doyle Sons, Inc., for Eagle
Country Market, for a variance to permit alteration of up to four free-standing signs in
the CN -1 zone for property located at 600 N. Dodge Street and at the parking area
located south of the Eagle store, across Church Street.
Findings of Fact: The Board finds that the applicant would continue to have
reasonable usage of the property if the requested variance were denied; the Eagle store
should be able to stay in business and do well . The Board finds that the applicant can
still advertise using other signage options which exist by right in the CN -1 zone. The
Board further finds that the applicants' burden of compliance with the Zoning
Ordinance is not unique from that placed on other similarly situated businesses.
The Board finds that it has established a precedent of denying variance requests to
permit free-standing signs in the CN -1 zone, and considers it inequitable to grant the
requested variance, when it has been denied to other businesses in like circumstances.
The Board agrees that the Eagle store did not cause the zoning change which prohibits
free-standing signs. The Board finds that large, lighted signs glowing at night are
incompatible with the surrounding residential neighborhood, and the intent of the
Neighborhood Commercial (CN -1) zone.
Conclusions of Law: The Board concludes it is clear that the applicant has failed to
meet all three of the tests of unnecessary hardship in accordance with Section 36-
61(g)(3) of the Zoning Ordinance. The Board further concludes that granting the
requested variance would be contrary to the intent of Zoning Ordinance Section 36-
62(c)(2) to require low profile signage which is suitable within a neighborhood
commercial area surrounded by low-density residential uses, and Section 36-63(h) to
gradually eliminate non -conforming signs within the community. Finally, the Board
concludes that the requested variance does not meet the criteria for the CN -1 zone,
which are set forth in the Comprehensive Plan and are designed to preserve the
residential purpose and character of the neighborhood.
Disposition: The Board denied by a 5-0 vote the requested variance to permit
alteration of up to four free-standing signs in the CN -1 zone for property located at
600 N. Dodge Street and at the parking area located south of the Eagle store, across
Church Street.

SPECIAL EXCEPTION ITEM:
SE -9111. Public hearing on a request submitted by Iowa City Landscaping to amend the
October 9, 1991, Board of Adjustment decision for a special exception modifying the front
yard requirement along Hudson Avenue for Lot 22, Bailey and Beck Addition, which was
located in the CI -1 zone at 520 Highway 1 West.
Findings of Fact: The Board finds that amending its approval of SE -9111 to permit
construction of a six foot high solid wood fence would more immediately serve the
intended purpose of buffering the negative impacts of the commercial use upon the
neighboring residential uses than the originally approved chain link fence. The Board
further finds that the solid wood fence combined with the varied, aesthetically pleasing
landscape plan proposed by the applicant would provide screening which is more
compatible with neighboring residential properties than a chain link security fence and a
thickly planted arbor vitae screen.
Conclusions of Law: The Board of Adjustment concludes that the requested amendment
to its original approval is consistent with the intent of the Board's decision of October 9,
1991. The Board further concludes that the applicant has continued to meet the
requirements under Section 36-69(b) and Section 36-91(g)(2)b of the Zoning Ordinance.
Disposition: The Board of Adjustment approved by a 5-0 vote, an amendment to SE -9111
to read that the front yard requirement for Lot 22, Bailey and Beck Addition, be reduced
from 20 feet to 5 feet for the 50 -foot length of its frontage along Hudson Avenue only for
the purpose of constructing a six foot high solid wood fence, and subject to the
landscaping plan as submitted by the applicant, date-stamped November 26, 1991, being
implemented as proposed.
Time Limitations:
All orders and decisions of the Board which do not otherwise provide a time limitation on
Applicant actions will expire six (6) months from the date they are filed with the City Clerk
unless the Applicant shall have taken action within such time period to establish the use
or construct the approvement authorized under the terms of the Board's order or decision.

SPECIAL EXCEPTION ITEM:
1. EXC 92-0001. Public hearing on a request submitted by Kevin Kidwell for special
exception to permit dwelling units above the ground floor of a commercial use for
property located in the CI -1 zone at 714 and 718 S. Dubuque Street.
Findings of Fact: The Board finds that proposed use would be desirable for this
property and an improvement for the area. The Board further finds that the proposed
apartment should have a negligible impact on the surrounding land use patterns and
that the adjacent land uses are commercial in nature and/or similar to what is being
proposed by the applicant. The Board finds that sufficient parking will be provided by
the applicant. The Board noted that the applicant's willingness to comply with staff -
recommended conditions to increase green space and make parking more functional
improves the site plan.
Conclusions of Law: The Board of Adjustment concludes that the applicant has met
the specific standards of Section 36-23(d)(3) and the general standards of Section 36-
91 (g)(2) of the Zoning Ordinance.
Disposition: The Board of Adjustment approved, by a 4-0 vote, EXC 92-0001, a
special exception to permit up to ten dwelling units above the ground floor of a
principal use for property located in the CI -1 zone at 714 and 718 S. Dubuque Street,
subject to the applicant 11 converting the one most southeasterly and the one most
southwesterly off-street parking spaces to planting areas as shown on Attachment A,
the revised site plan dated February 4, 1992, and 2) providing a drainage and erosion
control plan, approved by the City Public Works Department, for the proposed site
development prior to site grading and building construction.
Time Limitations:
All orders and decisions of the Board which do not otherwise provide a time limitation
on Applicant actions shall expire six (6) months from the date they are filed with the

month extension of a September 11, 1991, special exception approval by the Board
of Adjustment for property located in the RM -12 zone at 314 Church Street.
Findinas of Fact: The Board finds that the applicant's actions have been consistent
with the overall plans that were approved by the Board. The Board further finds that
the request for an extension is reasonable and that a dispersed Board of Directors
would cause a delay.
Conclusions of Law: The Board concludes that the applicant still meets the general
standards for special exceptions in Section 36-91(g)(2)b of the Zoning Ordinance.
Disposition: The Board approved by a 3-0 vote the requested six-month extension of
a September 1 1 , 1991, special exception approval by the Board of Adjustment for

special exceptions to permit expansion of a religious institution and modification of

neighborhood. The Board further finds that this is a mixed-use neighborhood, and is
not clearly residential in nature. The Board finds that the vegetative buffering and
downcast lighting will help ameliorate negative effects this use might have on the
neighborhood. o

SPECIAL EXCEPTION ITEM:
1. EXC92-0006. Public hearing on a request submitted by Gayla N. Rod ork ffi�"
of property owner Southgate Development Company, Inc. for a spscial ewb t+gn!xg.InWA
permit establishment of a beauty shop in the CO -1 Zone for property located at 2030
Keokuk Street.
Findings of Fact: The Board finds that the requested special exception is a good use
of the property and will create a development which is complementary with both the
surrounding commercial uses, including the shopping plaza, and the new residential
construction occurring in the area. The Board further finds that sufficient parking will
be provided. The Board notes in terms of precedent, that it has approved this type of
use in the past. The Board finds that the landscaping to be provided by the applicant
is sufficient, but could be augmented by the applicant to buffer the parking area and
to create a better environment for the proposed residential unit above the beauty
parlor.
Conclusions of Law: The Board of Adjustment concludes that the requested special
exception meets the specific standards for beauty parlors in the CO -1 Zone as set forth
in Section 36-17(d)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance and the general standards for special
exceptions set forth in Section 36-91(g)(2).
Disoosition: The Board of Adjustment approved by a 3-0 vote, EXC92-0006, a special
exception to permit establishment of a beauty parlor in the CO -1 Zone for property
located at 2030 Keokuk Street subject to conformance with the site plan (Attachment
A) submitted on March 31, 1992.

EXC 92-0007. Public hearing on a request submitted by Joel and Suzanne Erenberger
for a special exception to modify the front yard requirement along Orchard Street for
property located in the RS -8 zone at 204 Douglass Court.
Findings of Fact: The Board finds that the applicant is faced with a unique problem

encroachment into the front yard setback is minimal. The Board further finds that the
requested special exception will provide improvements benefiting both this property
and the neighborhood while generating increased tax dollars.
Conclusions of Law: The Board concludes that the applicant has met the specific
standards set forth in Section 36-69(b) and the general standards set forth in Section
36-91(g)(2)b for special exceptions.
Disposition: The Board approved by a 3-0 vote the requested special exception to
reduce the front yard requirement along Orchard Street from 20 feet to 16 feet, 8
inches for the 38 -foot length of the proposed garage for property located at 204
Douglass Court.
Time Limitations:
All orders and decisions of the Board which do not otherwise permit a time limitation on

residential dwelling units above the ground floor of a commercial use for property
located in the CI -1 zone will not have negative effects on surrounding properties. The
Board further finds that with the conditions of approval, the proposed special exception
will result in a major improvement to the commercial area, and will enhance on-site
stormwater management and upgrade the aesthetics of the property with the addition
of a new structure and extensive landscaping.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of special exceptions set forth in 36-91(g)(2)b, Code of
Ordinances of the City of Iowa City. Iowa, and the specific standards for permitting
dwelling units above the ground floor of a principal use in the CI -1 zone cited in
Section 36-23(d)(3), Code of Ordinances of the City of Iowa City. Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 4-1 vote (Johnson voting no), EXC 92-0011:
a special exception to permit up to 28 dwelling units above the ground floor of a
principal use for property located in the CI -1 zone at 702 S. Gilbert Street, provided
that, prior to receiving a building permit, the applicant will:
1) Submit and receive City approval of the following:
a) stormwater management calculations,
b) a stormwater detention facility plan,
c) a stormwater management facility easement agreement, ----
d) storm sewer calculations, (105050
e) a storm sewer relocation plan, r.FILED tNO
f) a storm sewer easement agreement, and r.e,.+
g) a grading and erosion control plan;

Railway line to have an access drive across the rail line on the east boundary
of the subject property, and
3) If such easement does not currently exist, dedicate a 15 -foot easement to the
City for the sanitary sewer and water main lines on the property.
2. EXC 92-0016. Public hearing on a request submitted by Mark A. Pfeiler and Don
Stumbo for a special exception to modify the side yard requirement for property
located in the RM -12 zone at 323 N. Linn Street and 225 E. Davenport.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested side yard reduction would not be
substantiai in terms of its square footage or impact. The Board finds that replacement
of the existing garage, as proposed, would be an improvement for the neighborhood
as well as the subject properties. The Board also finds that the non -conforming lot
area of the 325 N. Linn Street property creates a difficulty in replacing the garage
without a modification of the side yard requirement.
Conclusions of Law. The Board finds that the applicant has met the general standards
for the granting of a special exception cited in Section 36-91(g)(2)b, Code of
Ordinances of the City of Iowa City. Iowa, and the specific standards for exceptions
to established setbacks contained in Section 36-69(b), Code of Ordinances of the Citv
of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disoosition. The Board approved EXC 92-0016 by a 5-0 vote, a special exception to
reduce the side yard requirement for properties located at 323 N. Linn Street and 225
E. Davenport Street from three feet to zero feet for the 22 -foot length of the garage,
subject to recordation in the Johnson County Recorder's Office of a common access
easement for the driveway providing access from Linn Street to the zero -lot line
garage, with the expiration date for the order to be set one year from the date of the
decision.
3. EXC 92-0017. Public hearing on a request submitted by Siems, Inc. for a special
exception to permit a religious institution use, a Christian school for a kindergarten,
and first through eighth grades for property located in the CC -2 zone at 1470 First
Avenue.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested enrollment combined with the
lack of traffic control and lack of available parking within the commercial complex
where the proposed school site is located could result in undesirable impacts on
neighboring commercial properties. The Board also finds that the amount of traffic
generated by this use could be detrimental to the traffic flow on First Avenue. The
Board finds that based on the proposed enrollment, the..tio �p ,�Y.�Q for the
building(s) may be exceeded, particularly during special even �J

Conclusions of Law. The Board concluded that the applicant did not meet the general
standards for the granting of a special exception as found in Section 36-91(g)(2)b,
Code of Ordinances of the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board denied EXC 92-0017, by a 2-3 vote (Pelton and Galer voting
in the affirmative), a special exception permitting the establishment of a religious
institution use, a Christian school for kindergarten, and first through eighth grades.
4. EXC 92-0019. Public hearing on a request submitted by American College Testing for
a special exception to reduce the off-street parking requirements for property located
in the ORP zone at 2201 N. Dodge Street.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the applicant has demonstrated a pattern of
underutilization for the parking currently provided at ACT, which is 28% less than is
required for existing uses at the site. The Board further finds that the proposal would
result in less disturbance to environmentally sensitive areas.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the requested special exception to
reduce the off-street parking requirement for property located in the ORP zone is
warranted, that the applicant has met the standards for a modification of off-street
parking requirements as cited in Section 36-58(i), Code of Ordinances of the City of
Iowa City. Iowa, and the general standards for the granting of a special exception
found in Section 36-91(g)(2)b, Code of Ordinances of the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. By a 5-0 vote, the Board approved EXC 92-0019, a special exception
request to permit a 26% reduction of the off-street parking requirements for up to
640,000 square feet of floor area for commercial property located in the ORP zone at
2201 N. Dodge Street, with the expiration date for the Board order set for one year
from the date of the decision.
Time Limitations:
All orders and decisions of the Board which do not otherwise permit a time limitation on
Applicant actions shall expire six (6) months from the date they were filed with the City Clerk
unless the Applicant shall have taken action within such time period to establish the use or
construct the improvement authorized under the terms of the Board's order or decision.

1 . EXC92-0017. Public hearing on a request by Siems, Inc. for a special exception to
permit a religious institution use, a Christian school for kindergarten and first through
eighth grades, for property located in the CC -2 Zone at 1470 First Avenue.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested special exception to allow a
Christian school for kindergarten and first through eighth grades in the CC -2 Zone at
1470 First Avenue is similar in nature to the request approved by the Board in
February, 1984, establishing a child care facility at the same location. Thus, the Board
finds that the request is consistent with the precedent set by the Board which permits
a use involving children at this specific commercial location. The Board finds that the
occupancy load limits of the on-site structures will be best maintained by setting the
enrollment cap at 60 students. The Board further finds that limiting enrollment to 60
students will help mitigate negative impacts on traffic congestion in the area.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of special exceptions set forth in Section 36-91(g)(2)b, Code
of Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards for permitting
a religious institution use in the CC -2 Zone cited in Section 36-19(d)(8), Code of
Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 5-0 vote, a special exception to permit a
religious institution use, a Christian School for a kindergarten and first through eighth
grades, for property located in the CC -2 Zone at 1470 First Avenue, subject to the
applicant: 1) limiting enrollment to no more than 60 children, and 2) securing City
Building Official and City Fire Marshal approval prior to expansion of this use into a
fifth classroom. This approval is contingent upon the school obtaining 501 (c)(3) status
from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and submitting confirmation of that status to
the City. Although the requested religious use may be established prior to receiving
501(c)(3) status confirmation, said confirmation must be submitted to the City
Department of Housing and Inspection Services immediately upon receipt. In the event
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service denies 501(c)(3) status, this special exception
becomes null and void.

SPECIAL EXCEDT!ON ITEMS
1. EXC92-0021. Public hearing on a request submitted by Robert L. Woodburn for a
special exception to permit dwelling units above the ground floor of a commercial use
for property located in the CI -1 zone at 1116 Gilbert Court.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested special exception to permit
dwelling units above the ground floor of a commercial use of property located in the
CI -1 zone helps meet the need to provide more affordable housing in the community.
The requested exception will result in an improvement to the property and will enhance
the streetscape for this commercial area. The Board also finds that the majority of
existing and proposed floor area on the property will be associated with principal uses
permitted in the zone, that is, with the commercial usage rather than the residential
use.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of special exceptions set forth in 36-91(g)(2)b, Code of
Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards for permitting
dwelling units above the ground floor of a principal use in the CI -1 zone, as cited in
Section 36-23(d)(3), Code of Ordinances of the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 4-1 vote (Baker voting in the negative), a
special exception to permit up to three dwelling units above the ground floor of a
principal use for property located in the CI -1 zone at 1116 Gilbert Court, subject to
conformance with the site plan submitted August 31, 1992.
2. EXC92-0022. Public hearing on a request submitted by Charles Kinney, on behalf of
property owners William and Pamela Thompson, for a special exception to permit a
front yard modification for property located in the RS -8 zone at 721 Oakland Avenue.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested special exception to permit a
front yard modification to construct a roofed porch for property located in the RS -8
zone at 721 Oakland Avenue represents a modest reduction in the front yard setback
requirement. The Board finds that the proposed porch will improve both the subject
146 ,��r 1-1i
Boar,ri of Adjustment Decision

Page 2
property and be compatible in appearance with theC.' Barin o&:jtffe rrTidential
structures in the neighborhood. Most of the residential structures a ons Oakland
Avenue have minimal setbacks, and predominantly feature covete,QipDcches or entry-
ways, many of which are enclosed. The Board finds that the porcli;i0"rrgposed, will
enhance the historical integrity of residence.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of special exceptions set forth in 36-91(g)(2)b, Code of
Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards for exceptions
for established setbacks, cited in Section 36-69(b), Code of Ordinances of the City of
Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 5-0 vote, EXC92-0022, a request to reduce the
front yard requirement along Oakland Avenue from 20 feet to 12 feet for the 18 -foot
length of the proposed covered porch for property located at 721 Oakland Avenue.
3. EXC92-0023. Public hearing on a request submitted by Thomas and Karen Casavant
for a special exception to permit a side yard modification for property located in the
RS -8 zone at 423 Grant Street.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested special exception to reduce the
side yard requirement for property located at 423 Grant Street would not change the
actual distance of the accessory structure from the side lot line. The Board finds that
the requested setback reduction represents only 5% of the total required side yard
setback area, and is minimal in substance and effect. The Board finds that the
proposed connecting addition will eliminate the existing non -conforming situation of
less than three feet between the garage and the residence. The Board also finds that
the granting of this special exception will serve to upgrade the subject property
without negatively impacting the surrounding properties. Granting the special
exception should not compromise the intent of the Ordinance for the use and
enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of special exceptions set forth in Section 36-91(g)(2)b, Code
of Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards for granting
exceptions to established setbacks, cited in Section 36-69(b), Code of Ordinances for
the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 5-0 vote, a special exception to reduce the side
yard requirement for property located at 423 Grant Street from five feet to three feet
for the 20 -foot length of the garage.
4. EXC92-0024. Public hearing on a request submitted by Daniel C. Yaeger, on behalf
of property owner Carmen Poulsen, for a special exception to permit dwelling units
above the ground floor of a commercial use for property located in the CC -2 zone at
900 First Avenue.
1436 raCE 11,0
Board of Adjustment Decision
`September 9, 1992
Page 3
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested special exception to allow
residential dwelling units above the ground floor of a commercial use for property
located in the CC -2 zone exceeds the minimum standards for off-street parking,
dimensional, screening, and tree requirements. The Board further notes that the
applicant will construct fewer dwelling units than the maximum allowed by the
Ordinance. The Board also finds that granting the requested special exception will help
to promote the quality of commercial development in this area.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of a special exception as set forth in Section 36-91(g)(2)b,
Code of Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards for
permitting dwelling units above the ground floor of a principal use in the CC -2 zone,
cited in Section 36-19(d)(5), Code of Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 5-0 vote, EXC92-0024, a special exception to
permit up to four dwelling units above the ground floor of a principal use for property
located in the CC -2 zone at 900 First Avenue, subject to conformance with the site
plan submitted on September 3, 1992.
TIME LIMITATIONS:
All orders and decisions of the Board which do not otherwise permit a time limitation on
Applicant actions shall expire six (6) months from the date they were filed with the City Clerk,
unless the Applicant shall have taken action within such time period to establish the use or
construct the improvement authorized under the terms of the Board's order or decision.

F:ECORDER
SPECIAL EXCEPTION ITEMS: JON`S:;11 Cu..IOWA
1 . EXC 92-0026. Public hearing on a request submitted by Drs. G.N. Schreffler and T.J.
McDonald, on behalf of property owner Dan J. Glasgow, for a special exception to
permit an office use, a chiropractic clinic, in the CN -1 zone at 351 First Avenue.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the proposed chiropractic clinic will provide a
personal service to residents of the surrounding neighborhood as is intended in the
CN -1 zone. The Board further finds that distance and vegetative screening will buffer
the nearby residential uses from the minimal impacts anticipated from the proposed
office use. The proposed use will have a smaller floor area than the maximum
permitted for an office use in the CN -1 zone and sufficient parking will be provided.
The proposed clinic should be a positive development for both the commercial and
residential neighbors in the area.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of a special exception as set forth in Section 36-91(g)(2)b,
Code of Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards for
permitting office uses in the CN -1 zone cited in Section 36-18(d)(4), Code of
Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 4-0 vote, EXC 92-0026, a special exception
to permit establishment of a chiropractic office in the CN -1 zone for property located
at 351 First Avenue, subject to the property owner complying with parking area tree
requirements for the request property prior to the issuance of an occupancy permit for
the chiropractic clinic.
2. EXC 92-0027. Public hearing on a request submitted by Tom and Mary Hoyer for a
special exception to permit a side yard modification for property located in the RS -5
zone at 445 Peterson Street.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that misunderstandings between the applicants and
the City led to the current situation of the applicants constructing a porch which did
not meet the setback requirements of the Zoning Code. The Board further finds that
the improvement of the property will increase the value of the subject property and
slightly enhance tax revenues for the City. The Board also finds that the modification
1458 ?AGE 253
Board of Adjustment Decision
October 14, 1992
Page 2
being requested is minimal and would result in negligible negative impact to the
neighborhood.
Conclusions of Law. In light of the misunderstandings which led to the current
situation involving construction of the applicants' porch and the cost of alternatives
which would achieve compliance with the Zoning Code, the Board concludes that the
interests of justice would best be served by granting the requested exception. The
Board also concludes that the applicant has met the general standards for the granting
of a special exception as set forth in Section 36-91(g)(2)b, Code of Ordinances for the
City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards cited in Section 36-7(e)(4), Code
of Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 4-0 vote, EXC 92-0027, a request to reduce
the side yard requirement from five feet to a setback fine running the 1 7.5foot length
of the enclosed, roofed porch from a 2.3 -foot setback point at the southwest corner
of the enclosed porch to a 3.3 -foot setback point at the northwest corner of the
enclosed porch for property located at 445 Peterson Street, subject to the applicants
securing a no -build easement establishing a new line for setback compliance purposes
for both the property located at 445 Peterson Street and the property located at 3422
Shamrock Drive prior to the issuance of a building permit. The no -build easement must
be approved by the City Attorney's office and must require notice to the City of Iowa
City Department of Housing and Inspection Services of any abrogation of said
easement.
EXC 92-0028. Public hearing on a request submitted by Randall Verdick, for a special
exception to permit a side yard modification for property located in the RS -5 zone at
1303 E. Davenport Street.
Findinos of Fact. The Board finds that the requested special exception would result
in a small encroachment within the required side yard, which is minimal in substance
and effect. The Board further finds that the topography of and the limited access to
the site constrain the location of the garage on the property. The special exception,
if granted, would not negatively impact neighboring properties.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of a special exception as set forth in Section 36-91(g)(2)b,
Code of Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards
regarding exceptions for established setbacks, cited in Section 36-69(b) of the Code
of Ordinances for the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 4-0 vote, EXC 92-0028, a special exception
to reduce the side yard requirement for property located at 1303 E. Davenport Street
from five feet to three feet for the front five feet of the proposed garage.

SPECIAL EXCEPTION ITEMS:
EXC 92-0029. Public hearing on a request submitted by Capitol Implement Co. for a
special exception to permit a front yard modification along Gilbert Court for property
located in the CI -1 zone at 702 S. Gilbert Street.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested special exception to permit
parking in the required front yard along Gilbert Court will provide access for 14 units
of handicapped -accessible housing. Granting this special exception will also allow for
the upgrade of the infrastructure, particularly the storm sewer, and improve the
aesthetic environment of the neighborhood. In addition, the evergreen screening of the
parking area will provide sufficient buffering for the residential uses from the proposed
parking area. The existing rail line within the Gilbert Court right-of-way imposes a far
greater impact on neighboring residential uses than the proposed parking area.
Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of a special exception as set forth in 36-91(g)(2)b, Code of
Ordinances of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards for permitting
exceptions for established setbacks cited in Section 36-69(b), Code of Ordinances of
the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
Disposition. The Board approved, by a 3-1 vote (Johnson voting no), EXC 92-0029,
a special exception to reduce the front yard requirement along Gilbert Court from 20
feet to 5 feet for the 170 -foot length of the proposed parking area for property located
at 702 S. Gilbert Street.
EXC 92-0030. Public hearing on a request submitted by GWG Investments for a
special exception to permit off-street parking in the CB -10 zone for property located
at 315 E. College Street.
Findings of Fact. The Board finds that the requested special exception to permit off-
street parking in the CB -10 zone will encourage quality commercial development to
occur on the edge of the downtown area without threatening the viability of municipal
parking facilities. The proposed development is consistent with the intent of the CB -
10 zone to intensify the density of usable commercial spaces, while increasing the
availability of open spaces, plazas or pedestrian ways. The screening requirements of
the Zoning Ordinance will largely be achieved by placing the off-street parking within
the building.

Conclusions of Law. The Board concludes that the applicant has met the general
standards for the granting of special exceptions as set forth in 36-91(g)(2)b, Code of
Ordinances of the City of Iowa City, Iowa, and the specific standards for permitting
off-street parking in the CB -10 zone as cited in Section 36-58(f), Code of Ordinances
of the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
