Prepared By: Wendy Ford, Economic Development Coordinator Reviewed By: Rachel Kilburg, Assistant to the City Manager Fiscal Impact: n/a Recommendations: Staff: Approval Commission: n/a Attachments: Proposed FY22 Budget Minutes Executive Summary: The operating agreement between the City of Iowa City and the Iowa City Downtown District (I CDD) stipulates the process for City approval and incorporation of the District's annual budget. In accordance with the Operating Agreement, the I C D D Advisory Board held a public meeting at noon on December 8, 2020 and approved the Fiscal Year 2022 Proposed Budget for submission to the City for review. I have found it to be in compliance with the terms of the original petition, enabling ordinance, and Operating Agreement. Background /Analysis: It should be noted this budget contains the District's projections for property tax income. However, the District has communicated that they intend to collect the maximum amount generated by the authorized SSMID levy. Therefore, if property tax income exceeds the ICDD budget projections, staff will proceed in transferring the full amount entitled through the enabling ordinance and Operating Agreement. It is recommended the City Council consider a motion formally accepting the FY22 ICDD budget, and directing staff to incorporate the corresponding figures into the City's budget.

Street or sidewalk pavement typically needs to be removed and replaced in order to repair the water main. With limited resources and the emergency nature of the pavement repairs, the City combined the pavement repairs at multiple main break sites into a single project to more efficiently address pavement damage resulting from water main breaks. Types of pavement that were repaired include Portland Cement Concrete (PCC), PCC with Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlay, full depth HMA, and brick paving with composite PCC and HMA base. Some locations also required the removal and replacement of sidewalk, driveway, and/or curb and g utte r. The original contract included pavement repairs at fifteen (15) locations where main breaks had occurred prior to bidding the project, with the intention of adding additional locations by change order as new water main breaks occurred throughout the year.

Prepared By: Susan Dulek, Ass't. City Attorney Reviewed By: Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: Recommendations: Staff: Approval Commission: N/A Attachments: Resolution Executive Summary: The sidewalk cafe policy approved by Council includes an annual fee to use the ped mall and right of way for commercial purposes. Because of the impact of COVI D-19 on cafe businesses, this resolution will waive the fees for the 2021 season except for the recording fee. Background /Analysis: Sidewalk cafes are required to pay $5.00 per square foot for use of the ped mall or the sidewalk and $10.00 per square foot for platforms on the street. They are also required to pay to record the agreement (The Johnson Co. Recorder's fee is $7.00 for the first page and $5.00 per page thereafter.). In May the Mayor waived the fees for the 2020 season except for the recording fee. This resolution will waive the fees for the 2021 season except for the recording fee. The current agreements terminate on 1/31/21, and staff typically sends out renewal packages in December. A decision on the fees needs to be made in order for staff to proceed. Staff recommends waiving the fees. ATTACHMENTS: Description Resolution Prepared by Susan Dulek, Ass't. City Attorney, 410 E.

Gilbert Street Iowa City, IA 52240 319-351-8282 I.stutzman@mmsconsultants.net Vacation of Camp Cardinal Road right-of- way To create adequate parking space for future development. Camp Cardinal Road right-of-way adjacent to Parcel #1112476001. 4 • q1 o tl R z O V V Approximately 2,815 square feet Vacant (open space); GATHER Neighborhood Public (P-1) Surrounding Land Use and Zoning: North: Vacant (open space), Interim Development, Research Park (ID -RP) East: Residential; Low Density Single - Family Residential with Planned Development Overlay (RS -5 OPD) South: Residential & Institutional; Low Density Multi -Family Residential (RM -12) & Neighborhood Public (P- 1) West: Institutional; Institutional Public (P-2) File Date: June 25, 2020 45 -Day Limitation: NA BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The applicant, MMS Consultants, is applying for a vacation of 0.06 acres of City right-of-way located on Camp Cardinal Road, north of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and west of Gathering Place Lane. The applicant is working on behalf of Jon Harding, who owns the abutting property to the west of the subject vacation area. The owner hired MMS Consulting, the applicant, to prepare three applications (Comprehensive Plan Amendment CPA20-0001, OPD Rezoning REZ20-0001, and Vacation of right-of-way VAC20-0001) to allow the development of a 7,000 square foot building that would function as a community event center on the north side of the property. The conveyed right-of-way would allow the applicant to meet parking needs for the proposed development. ANALYSIS: The following factors are to be considered in evaluating a vacation request: a) Impact on pedestrian and vehicular access and circulation; b) Impact on emergency and utility vehicle access and circulation; c) Impact on access of adjacent private properties; d) Desirability of right-of-way for access or circulation needs; e) Location of utilities and other easements or restrictions on the property; f) Any other relevant factors pertaining to the specific requested vacation. a) Vehicular and pedestrian circulation and access to private property: The subject right-of-way to be vacated currently has no use for vehicular or pedestrian circulation and does not contain any means of access to the property to the west. b) Emergency and utility and service access: Emergency service access to this right-of-way will not be diminished by this vacation. The resulting right-of-way on Camp Cardinal Road will be 66' wide, which meets the standard width requirement for a city collector street. c) Impact on access of adjacent private properties: Currently there is no formal means of access on the property to the west of the proposed vacation. The OPD plan for the development on the property to the west shows an access point onto Camp Cardinal Road, across from the existing Camp Cardinal Road access to Gathering Place Lane to the east. d) Desirability of right of way for access or circulation needs: The subject right-of-way currently provides no purpose for access or circulation needs. City transportation planning staff has indicated that there is no need for Camp Cardinal Road to obtain more right-of-way width than the proposed 66' width, as future widening of Camp Cardinal Road is unlikely. e) Location of utilities and other easements or restrictions on the property: The OPD plan for the proposed rezoning and development on the property to the west of the subject vacation will include a 15' wide utility easement. Currently, there is a cable TV utility line that runs beneath the eastern edge of the subject vacation area. The cable TV utility line will be located in the 15' wide utility easement. Staff is recommending that provision of the 15' wide public utility easement be a condition of the OPD rezoning for the property to the west. f) Any other relevant factors pertaining to the specific requested vacation: Staff has not found any other relevant factors pertaining to the specific requested vacation. The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the required purchase agreement from the applicant for this right-of- way area. The City Council will need to approve the submitted purchase agreement offer. SUMMARY: The subject right-of-way currently has no practical use. The owner of the property to the west intends to purchase this land from the City at fair market value and convert the right-of-way area into an access to the proposed event center's parking area. The conveyed right-of-way will also feature a utility easement. NEXT STEPS: Upon recommendation of approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission, the proposed vacation will be reviewed by the City Council. The City Council will not only discuss the vacation, but also the conveyance of this land. The applicant has offered fair market value for the vacation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the approval of VAC20-0001, a vacation 0.06 acres of the Camp Cardinal Road right-of-way north of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and west of Gathering Place Lane in Iowa City, IA.

Clinton Street from High Density Multi -Family Residential (RM -44) to High Density Multi -Family Residential with a Historic District Overlay (OHD/RM-44). (REZ20-0009) ATTACHMENTS: Description HPC memo Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240 Memorandum Date: December 3, 2020 To: Historic Preservation Commission From: Jessica Bristow, Historic Preservation Planner Re: 410-412 North Clinton Street, Cochrane-Sharpless-Dennis House A sub -committee of the Commission completed a study and identified several of Iowa City's early brick houses as priorities for local landmark designation. The subcommittee requested that the property at 410 N. Clinton Street, the Cochrane-Sharpless-Dennis House, be designated as an Iowa City Historic Landmark in late 2017. In Spring 2018, a supermajority of Council failed to approve that landmark designation. Since then, City staff has worked with developers to create a plan for redevelopment of the neighboring properties to the South and the rear portion of this property. This plan also includes landmark designation of this property and a rehabilitation plan for the historic house that would be approved by the Historic Preservation Commission following the landmark designation and completed prior to completion of the development project. The enclosed Iowa Site Inventory Form provides a discussion of the building's history and architecture and the enclosed summary sheet provides additional information obtained through staff and Commission research. Indications are that the building was built in 1865. It should be noted that the historic portion of the house currently functions as a rooming house and provides affordable housing that is no longer allowed by code. This type of housing includes individual living spaces and shared bathrooms, providing housing for those who do not need or cannot afford more private space. Designation of the property as an Iowa City Historic Landmark will require Commission approval of any significant changes to the exterior of the building. Landmark status will also make the property eligible for special exceptions that would allow the Board of Adjustment to waive or modify certain zoning requirements. The Commission should determine if the property meets both Criteria A and B and at least one of the additional criteria (C -F) for local designation listed below: a. Significant to American and/or Iowa City history, architecture, archaeology and culture; b. Possesses integrity of location, design, setting, materials and workmanship; c. Associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; d. Associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; e. Embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction; or represents the work of a master; or possesses high artistic values; or represents a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction; f. Has yielded or may likely yield information important in prehistory or history. Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission City Hall, 410 E Washington Street, Iowa City. IA. 52240 Staff finds that 410-412 N. Clinton Street meets criteria A in that it is one of Iowa City's few remaining Civil War -era homes and criteria B in that it is an intact example of Italianate residential architecture in Iowa City that is not diminished by the addition because it is located behind the house. Staff finds that it meets criteria D in because of its association with active prominent members of the Iowa City community especially Cochrane and Sharpless. It also meets Criterion E as an intact representative of the Italianate-style architecture in Iowa City Recommended Motion: Move to approve the designation of 410-412 N. Clinton Street as an Iowa City Historic Landmark based on the following criteria for local designation: criteria A, B, D, and E. 2 Cochrane-Sharpless-Dennis House 410 North Clinton 410 North Clinton Street, built in 1865, is a two-story brick Italianate with a low -sloped side gabled roof. Unlike typical Italianate houses where the brackets are part of an elaborate cornice in this house the simple cornice is supported on paired brackets. The full -width front porch has paired columns and decorative brackets composed of carved -curling tendrils similar to the cornice brackets. The symmetrical facade includes a classically detailed center entry with narrow sidelights and transom with deeply recessed trim. Floor -to -ceiling 4 -over -6 double hung windows are symmetrically placed on the first floor. The second floor windows have heavy stone sills and lintels. The central window is 4 -over -6 like the first floor windows and the windows on each side are smaller 4-over4. The front fagade also has original shutters. Dr. Milton B. Cochrane settled in Iowa City in 1854. He was a surgeon in the 1st Iowa Cavalry and then promoted to the corps of surgeons of the United States Volunteers during the Civil War. He was a member of the State Historical Society from 1857 until his death in 1898. In 1859-60 He was a member of the Iowa City School Board. After the war he was appointed the first Superintendent of the Soldiers' Orphans Home at Davenport until he resigned in 1867. In the early 1880s he was appointed surgeon of an Indian Agency in Wisconsin. Samuel Sharpless and his wife Priscilla Crain owned this property from 1867 until at least 1915 when Priscilla died in the home. Sharpless was a director of the Johnson County Savings Bank, supervisor of various farming industries and a member of the Iowa City Council. In 1917 Edwin E. Dennis and his wife Anna Tantlinger bought the house and passed it on to their daughter Gertrude Dennis in 1936.

The house is rectangular with a small two story wing to the rear. It features a symmetrical three bay facade, the entry having both transom and sidelights. On the first floor two marrow floor—length windows are paired on each side of the entrance. At the second floor level the windows appear as pairs, but without space between them. Both sills and lintels are of stone. Paired. Italianate brackets are located at the cornice. The original end chmneys and exterior shutters are in place. The frontporch extends across the entire facade and features slender paired posts.; square in shape with chamfered corners. Delicate scroll brackets top each of the porch posts. The pitch of the gable roof is unusually low, one indication of a fairly early date. Although a multi—unit apartment building has been attached to this house at the rear, the integrity of the original structure remains quite high. It is considered to be individually eligible as a good example of its period and style, and is considered to a be a strong contributing structure in the Clinton Street Conservation District, HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE & ASSOCIATED CONTEXTS: Dubuque/Linn Street Corridor; 1839—c.1946 APPLICABLE NRHP CRITERIA: A X B_ C_ D_ NRHP ELIGIBILITY: INDIVIDUAL YES _X_ NO _ CONSERVATION DISTRICT: CONTRIBUTING X NON—CONTRIBUTING The Cochrane—Dennis House from c.1865 illustrates the development of the north part of Iowa City in the years following the removal of the state capital to Des Moines. The location of the State University of Iowa here in 1855, and the arrival of the railroad in 1856; ensured the continued growth of the former seat of state government. The Cochrane—Dennis House and the Dey House across the street at 507 North Clinton appear to be the last remaining examples of early residential design in this neighborhood. Both are good examples of the Italianate style and both have been well maintained. They demonstrate the use of mass—produced building materials that became available with the arrival of the railroad. The university was housed in the Old Capitol and two other buildings located on what is know known as the Pentacrest. The area to the north was a logical location for both faculty and students to five. Clinton Street appears to have always been the western edge of the so—called North Side Neighborhood, and even from the earliest days may have been considered to be separate. The Cochrane --Dennis House is considered to be individually eligible and is also a solid contributing structure in the proposed conservation district.

Prepared By: Scott Sovers, Asst. City Engineer Reviewed By: Jason Havel, City Engineer Ron Knoche, Public Works Director Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: $1,660,000, available in the Scott Boulevard Trunk Sanitary Sewer account #V3145 Recommendations: Staff: Approval Commission: N/A Attachments: Location Map Resolution Executive Summary: This agenda item begins the bidding process for the Scott Boulevard Trunk Sanitary Sewer Extension Project. The project generally includes the extension of a 24 -inch sanitary sewer from the Iowa Interstate Railroad northward along the North Branch of Snyder Creek to American Legion Road. Background /Analysis: In recent years, there has been an increase in residential development on the eastern fringe of Iowa City. Additionally, the Iowa City Community School District recently constructed a new elementary school at the SW corner of the American Legion Road and Barrington Road Intersection. To support the existing and proposed growth within this sewer shed, the existing Scott Boulevard Trunk Sewer needs to be extended. This extension will also remove a sanitary sewer lift station currently servicing the Windsor Ridge Subdivision. The annual operating cost savings resulting from the removal of the list station is approximately $20,000. The project manual and estimate of cost for the Scott Boulevard Trunk Sanitary Sewer Project have been filed in the Office of the City Clerk for public examination. The estimated construction cost (base bid) is $1,660,000. In addition to the base bid, there is one bid alternate for the installation of an HDPE liner within the proposed sanitary sewer pipe and manholes. The estimated construction cost of the alternate is $170,000. The project is currently funded by wastewater operating funds. Upon completion, a sewer district will be created and tap -on fees will be collected from new development within the sewer shed in compliance with Iowa City Code section 16-31B. The fees, collected from undeveloped areas as development occurs, will reimburse the wastewater fund for a portion of the overall project costs. The project is expected to be completed in the fall of 2021. ATTACHMENTS: Description Location Map Resolution A Prepared by: Scott Sovers, Asst. City Engineer, Engineering Division, 410 E.

The applicant has requested that the property be rezoned from County Residential (R) and County Urban Residential (RUA) to Interim Development Single -Family (ID -RS) for the entire 196.17 acres. This area is located adjacent to Iowa City's current boundary and within Fringe Area C of Johnson County's Fringe Area Agreement with Iowa City. The Southwest District Plan shows this area within the City's growth area with a future land use of single-family residential and duplex housing at a density of 2-12 dwelling units per acre. A northern portion of the property (shown below in Figure 1.0) is shown as having a future land use of open space, surrounding a lake for stormwater detention. The City's 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan includes the extension of the Abbey Lane trunk sewer in its list of funded projects. Per the plan, construction is scheduled for 2023. The extension of the sewer will allow development to continue west of Highway 218. In anticipation of this trunk line extension, Planning staff is currently in the process of updating the Rohret South Subarea portion of the Southwest District Plan, which was adopted in October 2002. The Rohret South Subarea includes a concept plan (Figure 2) for the area contemplated for annexation. With the update to the plan underway, the vision for development, including the general intended land uses, street network, and storm water management system, will likely change from what is currently shown in the adopted plan. The applicant has been informed of the potential for change to the existing subarea plan. 3 Figure 1.0 — Subject Property within the Rohret South Subarea Future Land Use Map SOUTHWEST PLANNiNC DisTR1CT Rohm Soath Subarea h Legend laLge i �L it—[ Rew.A..W I.,- ilry[l h liOl4.

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. 2. Development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without imposing an undue burden on the City. The Southwest District Plan identifies the subject area as being appropriate for annexation and development upon provision of sanitary sewer and water services. The City's 2020-2024 Capital Improvement Plan identifies the extension of the Abbey Lane trunk sewer line (Rohret South Sewer) as viable for construction in 2023. The purpose of the trunk sewer line extension is to accommodate residential development that has been planned in the Rohret South Subarea of the Southwest District Plan. 5 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 north and east sides (across from Highway 218). Therefore, the subject property is contiguous to current development and meets the goal of contiguous growth. 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 Annexation Policy requirement, as stated in Resolution 18-211, related to affordable housing. The 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 City's designated 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. Furthermore, upon annexation, the City will be able to guide future development of the area's road network and subdivision design to meet the goals of the City's 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 and County (RUA) Urban Residential. The County (R) zone allows for single-family residential dwellings to be built in the subject area, while the County (RUA) zone allows for multi -family residential at a density of up to four units per acre. The Southwest District Plan currently calls for single-family and duplex residential throughout 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 196.17 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. Low density single-family residential development at a density of 1 dwelling unit per 5 acres is also allowed. The applicant is currently exploring options for subdividing and developing the property. Interim zoning is appropriate for this property since it is currently not served by City sanitary sewer and water. Additionally, the proposed layout of development is still undetermined. Sanitary Sewer and Water: The subject area is currently not serviced by City sanitary and water utilities. The City currently has extension of the Abbey Lane trunk sewer line to the subject area within its 5 -year Capital Improvement Program. It is unlikely that this area will be serviced by sanitary sewer, and therefore suitable for urban development, before 2023. The nearest water main is located north of the subject property, along Rohret Road. The developer will be required to pay a water main extension fee of $456.75 per acre before public improvements are constructed. M Environmentally Sensitive Areas: The subject property does contain a blue line stream. The stream will need to be incorporated into future development plans and may trigger a Level I or Level 11 Sensitive Areas Review upon subsequent rezoning. The Office of the State Archaeologist did state that an archaeological surface study should be conducted prior to ground disturbing activities, as the potential for intact and significant archaeological sites is moderate. It is expected that this survey will take place closer to subsequent rezoning and development of the subject area. Access and Street Design: 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. It is anticipated that access to the area will come from Rohret Road, north of the subject property. As the area continues to develop, access to the west and south will need to be provided. Staff hopes to have more direction on access and street design of the subject area upon completion of the Rohret South Subarea plan update. 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 State Development Board for consideration of approval. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of ANN20-0001 and REZ20-0002, a voluntary annexation of approximately 196.17 acres and a rezoning from County Residential (R) and County Urban Residential (RUA) 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. ATTACHMENTS: 1. Annexation Exhibit 2. Location Map 3. Zoning Map 4. Applicants Statement 5.

The property is currently owner by Thomas L Carson & Linda A Carson Revocable Living Trust, James T Carson Revocable Trust, and Rebecca Albertson Revocable Trust. Ownership is anticipated to be transferred to Allen Development LLC. The property is currently within Johnson County and is zoned residential. The applicant is proposing an annexation into the city limits of Iowa City. The property is within the growth area of the City of Iowa City, and is in compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. The applicant is requesting Interim Development zoning due to infrastructure not being available at this time. As infrastructure becomes available, the applicant intends to develop the property into new neighborhoods, in compliance with City planning documents. The property immediately to the north of the described parcels is within city limits, is currently zoned RR -1 and is also owned by Thomas L Carson & Linda A Carson Revocable Living Trust, James T Carson Revocable Trust, and Rebecca Albertson Revocable Trust. This property is also anticipated to transfer ownership to Allen Development LLC and be developed in conjunction with the property being requested for annexation. If you have any questions or comments please feel free to contact myself or John Yapp. Respectfully submitted, Jon Marner, Partner 7596-107L1.docx c.ARSON FARM Steve Carson, Mgr. 3207 Rohret Rd., Iowa City, IA 52246 (319)400-3427 August 8, 2020 Urban Planning Staff City of Iowa City 410 E. Washington Street Iowa City IA 52240 RE: Annexation of Carson Property To Urban Planning Staff: This letter is in support of the annexation by the City of Iowa City of approximately 1.95.0 acres of land owned by the Carson family in the Southwest District of Iowa City. The requested annexation of the property conforms with the projected development outlined in the 2002 Southwest District Plan for the Rohret South Subarea. This acreage appears to be the next logical area for city expansion to the west of US Hwy 218 and south of Rohret Road without skipping over other undeveloped property. Thank you for your consideration of this matter.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL: By a vote of 6-0 the Commission set a public hearing for November 5, 2020 on an application to amend the Downtown and Riverfront Crossings Master Plan, a component of the City's Comprehensive Plan, to expand the West Riverfront Subdistrict to include approximately 3.16 acres south of Myrtle Avenue, west of Riverside Drive, north of the Iowa Interstate Railroad, and east of Olive Street. By a vote of 6-0 the Commissions recommends approval of REZ20-0001, a proposal to rezone approximately 3.1 acres of property located at the corner of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and Camp Cardinal Road, across the street from 80 Gathering Place Lane from Neighborhood Public (P-1) to Community Commercial with a Planned District Overlay (OPD/CC-2) subject to conditions: 1. Prior to the issuance of building permits, provision of a 15 -foot -wide utility easement along the property's east side. 2. Prior to the issuance of building permits, payment of $5,000 toward the upgrading of approximately 25 feet of Camp Cardinal Road that is adjacent to the subject property that does not meet City standards is made. This amount is based off of Camp Cardinal Road being a collector street, and the applicant contributing 25% of the cost of the approximately 25 feet of the road that needs to be improved to the north property line. By a vote of 6-0 the Commissions recommends approval of VAC20-0001 a vacation of 0.06 acres of Camp Cardinal Road right-of-way north of Camp Cardinal Boulevard and west of Gathering Place Lane in Iowa City. By a vote of 4-2 (Martin & Nolte dissenting) the Commissions recommends approval of ANN20-0001 and REZ20-0002, a voluntary annexation of approximately 196.17 acres rezoning from County Residential (R) and County Urban Residential (RUA) to Interim Development — Single -Family Residential (ID -RS) with the following conditions: 1. The developer satisfies the comprehensive plans annexation policy, as stated in Resolution 18- 211. By a vote of 6-0 the Commissions recommends approval of VAC20-0002, a vacation of the St. Mathias Alley right-of-way south of North Dodge Street and east of 1120 North Dodge Street in Iowa City, Iowa with the amendment to just include the western tip of the alley right-of-way. By a vote of 5-1 (Townsend dissenting) the Commissions recommends approval of REZ20-0008, a proposal to rezone approximately 12,000 square feet of land located at 400 North Clinton Street and 112 East Davenport Street from High -Density Multifamily Residential (RM -44) zone to Planned High Density Multifamily Residential (PRM zone subject to the following condition: 1. Substantial compliance with the site plan and elevations dated July 1, 2020 if any PRM bonus provisions or minor adjustments are requested for the property. By a vote of 6-0 the Commissions recommends approval of REZ20-005, a proposed amendment to the zoning code to allow minor adjustments in Planned High Density Multifamily Residential Zones (PRM) for new construction projects which involve preserving a separate historic structure, as illustrated in attachment one of the staff report. CASE NOS. ANN20-0001 AND REZ20-0002: Applicant: MMS Consultants Location: West of Highway 218 and south of Rohret Rd An application submitted for an annexation and rezoning from County Residential (R) and County Urban Residential (RUA) to Interim Development — Single -Family Residential (ID -RS) zone for approximately 196.17 acres of land currently in unincorporated Johnson County. Heitner began the staff report showing an aerial view of the subject property, it is located to the City's immediate southwest. It is a pretty big piece of land at 196.17 acres. Heitner said the current zoning is split zone with County Residential and County Urban Residential, which is one of the more denser County zoning designations. He next showed a map of the growth area and noted the entire subject property is within City's growth area. Heitner stated the entirety of the rezoning would be to Interim Development Single Family Residential (ID -RS). Heitner showed the concept plan from the current Southwest District Plan. The Plan envisions this area as an array of single-family housing units, some open space and a detention lake running through the middle of the subject property. Regarding the annexation, staff looks at the Comprehensive Plan and established growth policy to guide decisions regarding annexations. The annexation policy states that acquisitions occur primarily through voluntary petitions filed by property owners and the Comprehensive Plan states that voluntary annexation requests should be viewed positively when the following conditions exist. First, the area under consideration falls within the adopted long-range planning boundary. Heitner reiterated that is clearly the case here as the entirety of the subject property is within the City's growth area and annexation of this property is anticipated. Second, development in the area proposed for annexation will fulfill an identified need without imposing an undue burden on the City. Heitner did point out that this property is not serviced by sanitary sewer, but the City does have in its Capital Improvement Plan an allocation to extend sanitary sewer to this area projected for 2023. Heitner reiterated this annexation and rezoning would be to an interim zone which is intended as a placeholder until a property can be fully serviced by City services and development on this property will not take place until that sewer extension is provided. Additionally, this property is contiguous to City limits to the north and to the east, although separated by Highway 218, but it is not a leapfrog development being annexed. Third, control of the development in the area is in the City's best interest. Staff reviewed this and noted the annexation will help accomplish the City's larger goal of fulfilling the need of expanding housing options to accommodate the City's growing population. Staff is recommending that a condition of the rezoning be the developer satisfy the Comprehensive Plan's Annexation Policy requirement, Resolution 18-211, related to affordable housing, requiring that any development associated with annexation containing 10 or more dwelling units must have 10% of that development meet affordable housing provisions. In terms of zoning, Heitner reiterated it is currently in a split zone between County Rural and Urban Residential. The entirety of this rezoning would be for ID -RS, single family residential and again the ID -RS zone is to be in place until the City can provide services to support development. With respect to water, Heitner explained there are water mains on the north side of the road and that would probably be the access point for water service to this development. City Engineering staff has confirmed that facilitation of water service is possible upon subsequent developments, the developer will be required to pay water main extension fee of $456.75 per acre before public improvements are constructed. Heitner also noted the property does contain a blue line stream so there is potential for sensitive areas analysis that would accompany any subsequent development. Additionally, staff reached out to the Office of the State Archaeologist and that office recommended that an archaeological surface study be conducted prior to ground disturbing activities. Staff is not recommending that that study be a condition of this rezoning, but staff would like to see that study conducted before subsequent development takes place on this property. Heitner noted as common with annexations and interim rezones, the applicant does not have a design for street access or interior street connectivity to the property, those typically become available on subsequent rezoning and planning of the property. The role of the Commission is to determine whether the annexation and rezoning satisfies the following conditions as stated by the Comprehensive Plan's Annexation Policy that the area under consideration falls within the adopted Long Range Planning Boundary and development in the proposed area will fulfill an identified need without imposing an undue burden on the City, and that control of the development is in the City's best interest. In terms of next steps, pending approval from this Commission, Council would hold a public hearing on this annexation and rezoning request. Prior to that public hearing, utility companies and non -consenting parties will be sent the application by certified mail. Pending approval of annexation by Council the application will be sent to the State Development Board for approval as that's a requirement because there are other municipalities within two miles of this annexation request. Staff is recommending approval of ANN20-0001 & REZ20-0002, a voluntary annexation of approximately 196.17 acres rezoning from County Residential (R) and County Urban Residential (RUA) to Interim Development — Single -Family Residential (ID -RS) with the following conditions: 1. The developer satisfies the comprehensive plans annexation policy, as stated in Resolution 18- 211. Hensch asked if there is any reason to believe the State Development Board would have any objections to this. Heitner is not aware of any, the application fairly straightforward in terms of being within the growth area and being contiguous to the City. Hensch noted it is his understanding that that's really the biggest thing they look at with these annexation applications is whether there's continuity, or whether there's a leapfrog development being proposed so he suspects that the State Annexation Board will support this. Hensch added for the benefit of the newer members, an interim development zoning is just a placeholder and the Commission will see this again when it moves to a permanent rezoning for development. Heitner confirmed the Commission will review subsequent rezonings that take place in this area and said he only showed the concept plan that's currently within the Comprehensive Plan and staff is actually actively involved in doing a revision to that subarea plan for this District Plan so the sketch outlines a rough concept of streets but it's likely that that will be different as staff revises the District Plan here. Hensch also noted as an indicator of the growth going on this area, didn't the Commission a couple months ago approve a plat for north of Rohret, east of Slothower, for some infill development for that area. Heitner confirmed that is just north and west of this subject area. He added there's still a continued demand to develop outward in this area and that is why staff is working through the process of the revision to the sub area plan to make sure they have those goals and objectives for this area in place ahead of when most development takes place, and ahead of development and City service ability in this area. He stated that is something they hope to accomplish within the next year, the current plan is about 20 years old so it's due for an update. Craig noted she was confused when she reviewed this material because of the concept plan showed a huge body of water, but there's no water there in current pictures. She understands now that the concept plan showed in the staff report is from the Plan and the developer has no requirements to doing something that looks like that concept plan, they just have to follow the other guidelines the City has, and they can come back with a plan that has no water in it. Russett noted the maps that Heitner shared are the Future Land Use Map and associated concept for this area that are adopted as part of the Comprehensive Plan in the Southwest District Plan so any proposals for development out here staff needs to review against those adopted visions and policies. Staff is currently updating that vision and staff has known that the sewer extension was going to be coming and knew that this area would be opened up for development. Since this plan was adopted in 2002 it's time to revisit it and update it and create a new vision. They anticipate they will have a new plan adopted and any future rezonings will be reviewed against the new plan and that is likely to happen before the development because that isn't going to happen till 2023 when the sewer line is expanded as part of the Capital Improvement Plan. Nolte noticed in one of the concept drawings there was a fire station indicated. Heitner acknowledged that but said that was just conceptualized back in 2002 but that illustration was shown just as a reference there wouldn't be any guarantee that there would be a fire station on this corridor moving forward. Nolte stated that is some of his concern, that road is so heavily trafficked right now. Watts Development is putting in 600 homes to the west, the Weber School is already beyond capacity, and Kitty Lee Road is a is a very narrow chip seal road right now so he doesn't think it's a good feeder road to this development. He would also like to better understand the identified need and if this is the type of housing they're looking for in the future. It appears to be unwalkable urban sprawl and he thought they were trying to get away from some of that. The size and scope of this whole development scares him, he does like the neighborhood commercial for the residents that already live in that area. Signs asked what is a non -consenting party? Heitner replied that would be anyone opposed to the application. Russett added they are specifically property owners within the proposed annexation area. She added for this proposed annexation, there are no non -consenting parties. Hensch opened the public hearing. Luke Newton (MMS Consultants) added that the developer is in conversations with the Iowa City School District to address their needs and concerns. Hensch noted they don't have a full concept yet but asked if there would be a water detention area somewhere. Newton confirmed there would be. Hensch closed the public hearing. Hektoen asked for clarification on the annexation policy is with regards to affordable housing. Heitner clarified that as a condition of the annexation, the developer would be required to abide by the Comprehensive Plan's affordable housing policy related to annexation, detailed and Resolution 18-211 that basically states when new land is brought into the City, affordable housing is addressed in the process. Craig moved to recommend approval of ANN20-0001 and REZ20-0002, a voluntary annexation of approximately 196.17 acres rezoning from County Residential (R) and County Urban Residential (RUA) to Interim Development — Single -Family Residential (ID - RS) with the following conditions: 2. The developer satisfies the comprehensive plans annexation policy, as stated in Resolution 18- 211. Signs seconded the motion. Hensch acknowledge this is a little scary as it is a very large annexation, 200 acres almost, and no concept plan, however he really encourage people to look at this for what it is, interim development, and they will see this again. Also, staff is working on the Southwest District Plan so clearly that will change. Hensch wanted to caution everybody to not get too concerned about a concept plan. Signs noted also the process of changing the Southwest District Plan is going to involve a lot of public input and public meetings so the public will be able to weigh in on what they would actually like to see in this area. Townsend added she would just hope that the affordable housing pieces in there stay affordable, not just for 10 years or 20 years. Heitner agreed there would be plentiful opportunities for public involvement and the Commission will see the update as well. Signs noted having been through that process with the South District Plan here a couple years ago, it's extensive. Russett added they are taking a more targeted approach to this update, it's not an overall update of the entire District Plan, they're really focusing on this sub area, and this concept is pretty targeted. Martin noted she is typically not opposed to development, but one of the things that distresses her a little bit is that they are losing more and more farmland and while one of the things that they talk about is affordable housing, but there is also so much food insecurity. Granted the farmland out here is probably corn or soybeans, not something typically people are going to go and eat, but the point is that in the State of Iowa there is so much amazing land that is not used to its full potential. She understands this is going to take years and years to develop but wanted to put it on the record for people to think about the fact that making farmland available to smaller farms, people that are growing food to actually consume, should be at the forefront of conversation more so than just taking these this hundreds of acres and paving it over. Nolte agreed with Martin and is pro -development but stated this just doesn't make sense if they aspire to affordability and walkability and better transit and all those things, they can't just keep sprawling out like this. What good is it to have an affordable housing in a place where one must drive to get anywhere. He is also protective of farmland and realizes people own that land to develop it but it doesn't seem like the right way to grow the community over time. Hensch noted it's a voluntary annexation, so that's important to remember. Also if they don't allow for urban density within the City, then those houses will go somewhere, and then it will end up with one and five acre lots all throughout the County and actually take more land out of out of production. He doesn't know what the CSR (corn suitability rating) on this land is but that's a pretty important consideration, if it is in the 80s that's prime farmland, but if it's the 20s, 30s or 40s then it's production value is pretty low. He suggested perhaps in the future annexations they can be given the CSR listed on the properties. He added he is also responsible for local foods for Johnson County so he is very sensitive to this issue but these farms, like Martin said, are just corn and soybeans, there's nothing here that's going to be consumed by humans, and certainly not going to be consumed locally. He noted that is another issue and as a Commission how can they be proponents of local foods, or foods that humans consume locally, when the problem is land is so expensive in Johnson County that a farmer who's not growing commodity crops is likely unable to afford to purchase land to grow on those non commodity crops. Hensch acknowledged it's very difficult issue and something they probably should take up and have discussions about. Martin noted regarding the one and five acre plots and that taking up more land, when she was sent to New Orleans for a planning and zoning conference a few years back, one of the classes she took was on sustainability in food productivity, and those little lots can produce an enormous amount of food. She acknowledged that is a topic for a different time but just want to put that out there. Hensch agreed but unfortunately, those acres won't be zoned for agriculture or commercial production, so people wouldn't be able to grow crops for sale on those residential lots. A vote was taken and the motion passed 4-2 (Nolte and Martin dissenting). CITY OF IOWA CITY UNESCO CITY OF LITERATURE CITY OF IOWA CITY MEMORANDUM Date: December 15, 2020 To: Geoff Fruin, City Manager From: Ray Heitner, Associate Planner Re: Iowa City Development Capacity Analysis � 10,E Late Handouts Distributed i.Z-14—ZO (Date) Staff is providing the following information in advance of the City Council's consult with the Planning & Zoning Commission regarding the pending Carson Farm annexation. Much of this information was prepared as part of the build -out analysis of the on-going Fringe Area Agreement process. Past Development Trends Table 1 below shows the annual number of building permits for new residential construction the City processed over the last 5 years. New residential construction occurs in newly platted and created subdivisions on formerly vacant land. Most permit activity, 83%, is for single-family homes with a 5 -year average of approximately 130 homes built per year. Almost all new single-family dwellings are immediately occupied upon completion. In contrast, dwelling units in Multi -family developments are rented and occupied over a period of time after construction known as `lease -up' in a percentage amount commonly referred to as a vacancy rate. The City does not collect formal data on the lease up period or vacancy rate. There has been a recent increase in new multi -family units especially in the Downtown and Riverfront Crossing District with redevelopment using the Form Based Code. For this same time period, 56% of total dwelling units constructed have been multi -family units. In 2019, City staff also conducted an analysis of development in existing subdivisions known as infill development. This occurs on vacant or redeveloped lots surrounded by already built homes. The analysis found that from 2010-2018, there were only 20 single-family residential infill projects built in the City, on average 2.5 homes per year. While the analysis also showed that there were opportunities for some additional residential construction through infill redevelopment, there are likely challenges in the shape, size, or locations, of those lots which make it difficult to meet the City's current development standards especially if they contain steep slopes, woodlands, or have poor access to City streets. In summary, the construction of new single-family housing has largely occurred in new subdivisions where there is sufficient land assembled to accommodate the necessary infrastructure and amenities. Table 1 — Residential Building Permits in Iowa City (2015 — 2019) Type 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Total Avera a Avg % of Total New Single -Family Permits 137 172 157 109 80 655 131 83% New Duplex Permits 3 6 4 5 4 22 4 3% New Multi -Family (Building) Permits 12 31 22 10 13 88 18 11% New Mixed -Use (Building) Permits 1 1 14 1 8 16 2 1 21 14 1 3% Total: 1 153 1213 1 191 1 130 199 1 786 1 157 December 14, 2020 Page 2 Table 2 — New Residential Dwelling Units in Iowa City (2015 — 2019) Type 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Total Average Avg % 259 5 1,295 3,004 Total: 30 451 NA 2,255 5,231 of Total New 137 172 157 109 80 655 131 19.8% Single - Family Units New 6 12 8 10 8 44 9 1.4% Duplex Units New 499 556 203 163 417 1,838 368 55.8% Multi - Family Units New 47 340 150 169 59 765 153 23% Mixed- use Units Total: 689 1,080 518 451 564 3302 660 NA Supply of Available Land Within the Citv Appendix "A" contains the size and dwelling unit counts of the new residential subdivisions developed in the City over the past decade. As explained above, this has largely but not exclusively been in the form of single-family homes. On average, new subdivisions typically included at least fifteen (15) acres of land. Nine (9) acres of which was eventually used for housing after the installation of streets and other infrastructure to support them was installed. That results in roughly five (5) single-family dwelling units per acre on average being developed in new subdivisions within the city limits. Staff identified land within the City from its recently completed buildout analysis to identify vacant properties that contain either a Single -Family or Interim Development zoning designation and at least 15 acres. Appendix "B" provides a map of where such properties are located. There are fourteen (14) sites within Single -Family zones and sixteen (16) sites within Interim zones of that size (Table 3). After eliminating land that likely contains regulated sensitive features and can't be developed, like steep slopes, woodlands, and stream corridors, and land needed for the streets, the total estimated acres of land available for development within the City is approximately 451 acres. When applying the estimated 5 dwelling units per acre density of development it is possible that the City might be able to accommodate approximately 2,255 single-family residential dwelling units. However, the intention of owners of this land to develop have not been verified.

The Plan estimates an average of 2.32 persons per household. December 14, 2020 Page 3 Historically, most undeveloped land is not annexed into the City by its owner until just prior to its development. Property tax rates are usually lower in the unincorporated County and land is often used for agricultural purposes up until the time that is sold for development. Additionally, unlike other cities, the 2008 recession did not result in a large inventory of improved but not developed lots in Iowa City. Population Growth Projections The Johnson County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) prepares population projections for the region as part of its long-range transportation planning activities. Appendix "C" shows the MPO's five- year, fifteen -year, and twenty -five-year population estimates for Iowa City. By 2045, Iowa City is estimated to have a population of 95,700 residents, an increase of 22,285 residents from 2014 The projections also estimate a house -hold occupancy of 2.32 residents per dwelling unit for single-family homes. Based on the previously estimated number of 2,255 potential dwelling units for new single- family residential development within the city limits, an estimate of the City's capacity to absorb projected population within this housing type would yield approximately 5,231 residents by the year 2045. This would mean that approximately 17,054 new residents would need to find housing elsewhere either in annexed land, another type of housing, or in other cities. The 2019 buildout analysis estimated room to potentially accommodate over 10,000 dwelling units and over 24,000 new residents in the Riverfront Crossings area if this area were to fully maximize its allowed development potential. Given the urban nature of this district and its appeal for student housing near campus, certain demographics of the Iowa City population may not find this area appealing to live. While the City continues to pursue policy and regulations that will increase infill redevelopment and efficient greenfield development, recent past development patterns have indicated that there is a demand, and a current need, to continue to plan for accommodating population growth through new subdivision development. With this in mind, the City maintains influence over land falling within two (2) miles of its current city limits. It is anticipated that land within the Growth Boundary Area may one day be annexed into the city limits. The City/County Fringe Area Agreement contains those details and areas for orderly and efficient expansion. Table 4 below from the buildout analysis shows the City's existing Growth Area could potentially result in 23,771 new residents occupying 4,552 new dwelling units at full buildout.

Rudimentary development capacity analysis shows that existing properties with Single -Family and Interim Development zones have some capacity to accommodate new subdivision development. However, it is likely that some of these properties are situated on non-standard lots with challenging topography or prominent sensitive areas December 14, 2020 Page 4 that make development challenging. In addition, as Table 5 indicates, under a full build -out scenario, the Riverfront Crossings area can accommodate over 24,000 new residents. While the City has seen generous residential development occur within its central core neighborhoods, 83% of recent residential building permits have been for single-family residential development, with much of this development occurring in greenfield areas. This suggests a demand for this type of housing does exist. Table 5 — Growth Capacity City staff will continue to advocate for policies directed at pursuing smart growth options that bolster infill development opportunities, create walkable, attractive neighborhoods, and promote missing middle housing where appropriate. Furthermore, it is in the City's interest to provide a range of housing opportunities and choices for residents of all life stages and income levels. With these best practices in mind, it is not pragmatic to assume the City's population capacity needs will be filled entirely, or perhaps even largely, by infill redevelopment. Additionally, given that the existing Single -Family and Interim Development zoned land supply is limited, the City will likely need to annex additional land within its Growth Area to capture its projected population, apply smart growth policies and principles, and avoid contributing to the pressure for expansion of low-density suburban and rural developments.

Dear City Council: On the advice of the City Clerk, I am emailing this memo, which summarizes our thoughts on the Carson Farm annexation, to each of you. We look forward to listening to the discussion with the Planning and Zoning Commission. Regards, John Yapp, Allen Development Date: December 9, 2020 To: City Council, City of Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission From: Jesse Allen, Allen Development Re: Annexation of Carson Farm We listened to City Council comments at the December 1St meeting, regarding the annexation of the Carson Farm, located west of Iowa 218 and south of Rohret Road. We offer the following responses: • The northern part of the property, on the south side of Rohret Road, has already been annexed to Iowa City. The remainder of the property is within the City's growth area, and has been identified as a future west -side growth area for the City. • The City has a District Plan for the area that was adopted in 2002, entitled the 'Rohret South Subarea' of the Southwest District Plan. This plan identifies areas of mixed-use, medium density and lower density housing. It includes a park, pedestrian trails, and a neighborhood commercial area —there currently is no neighborhood commercial area west of Highway 218. • Regarding the 'urban sprawl' concern, the West Side Estates subdivision which was recently approved is approximately a mile further west than this property. Weber Elementary is approximately % mile further west. This is some of the last ground with easy access to UIHC and the medical campus. • We have had discussions with the School District about a new elementary school and possibly a middle school site, in order to reduce overcrowding at Weber Elementary, and to meet the needs of the growing student population. The goal is to create a neighborhood where students can safely walk to school without needing to cross Rohret Road, or be bussed out of the neighborhood. We have also had discussions with City staff for a Fire Station site The property is currently zoned Residential in unincorporated Johnson County. Johnson County would allow lots no smaller than % acre in size, with an overall density (with open space) no less than 1 house per acre. Our goal would be to develop a mixed -income, higher density neighborhood, including open space and trails. We have had discussions with City Staff about incorporating the form -based code into the project. We have experience in providing affordable housing, and have agreed to minimum 10% affordability requirement. I believe it is in the City's interest to ensure higher -density, mixed -income housing, as opposed to developing under Johnson County residential zoning. Regarding the cost of providing services to new development, it is true that for large -lot single family development, studies have shown that the cost of providing services is higher than tax revenue generated. However, as densities increase, the cost comes closer to breaking even with tax revenue. The issue is more complicated than that in that there are many ancillary benefits to a growing population, including support for businesses, employee base for existing and new businesses, increased support for the non-profit sector, etc. Finally, our goal is to work with staff over the next 2 years to develop an updated plan for the property. Sewer will not be available to the property until 2023. We would need to come back to the City for another rezoning before any development could occur. Annexation would give us the assurance we need to move forward in working with the City on an updated plan that can meet the City's goals. Thank you for considering these comments. We look forward to hearing the discussion between the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission. Kellie Fruehling From: Joseph Jennings <jconradjennings@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, December 11, 2020 2:59 PM To: Council; Bruce Teague Subject: Annexation of the 196 acres of Carson Farms I RID Dear Bruce and to whom it may concern, Late Handouts Distributed 12-1y- ZD (Date) I hope that the City reconsiders its priorities in regards to the development of Carson Farms in the area west of Highway 218 and 5 Rohret Road. Iowa City should focus on developing vertically on land that doesn't serve as an ecological corridor for Iowa's dwindling wildlife. Running utilities out across 218 will be resource intensive and create more issues in providing accessibility to amenities from that area. Increasing impervious surfaces will also have huge impacts on water quality in this area; I hope the City will focus on land within its zone of influence instead of focusing on rural land far along the periphery.

Let's start with looking at the cost to the city. It may look like you are increasing the tax base with more houses, but this is a short-term perspective. Study after study after study has found that medium to large lot single family zoning is a long-term cost burden on cities. After it's built - you've got these spread out houses. Over 50+ years, you'll need to maintain roads, water, sewer, waste, and emergency services. The cost per mile is greater than the taxes you will earn. This means that in the long term the more densely developed areas of Iowa City are subsidizing these $300,000 - $500,000 homes. Welfare the comfortable people at the expense of the city. Search for history single family zoning CLIMATE CHANGE; history single family zoning RACISM; history single family zoning CLASSISM. You will find that the origins today's typical single-family suburb is rooted in classism and racism. This style of development isolates people and segregates people by economic class. It increases the resources required to power, maintain and access these homes - which exacerbates climate change. Minneapolis did their homework and chose to end single family zoning. I urge you to hold off on any annexation until after you take a good look at the consequences of the current zoning code. It won't be easy, but the long term economic, social and environmental benefits to our community will make it worthwhile.

Tyler Thorp Kellie Fruehling From: Jarod Concha <jarod12397@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, December 6, 2020 4:43 PM To: Council Subject: Carson Farm Annexation and Rezone AM�SK To whom this may concern, I am deeply concerned over the city's plan to annex the 196 acre parcel just west of highway 218. As a civil engineer, I understand the amount of time, money, and effort it will take to make this land part of Iowa City, and I do not think the investment is worth it. The last thing we need in a climate crisis is more suburban sprawl, and to expand into an area rich in natural resources and wildlife would be shameful. I grew up in this area, and I know this land acts as a natural corridor for pheasants, deer, and songbirds to access the springfed lake just east of the farm. "Developing" this land would do just the opposite --it would ruin the water supply for the lake and evict the fauna that calls this place home. As a member of the native american community, let my voice be heard and do not move forward with this annexation proposal.

My concern was Initially for the wildlife living in this area and urban sprawl. There are deer and pheasants whose territory and access to water would be unnecessarily compromised if this land is changed from its current state. Once again, what natural beauty is left in spite of agricultural development will be pushed further away from the Iowa City center in favor of endless subdivisions. The concerns expressed by Commissioner Nolte and Coucilmember Thomas in the Press -Citizen about sprawl make a lot of sense to me and I second them. Westward growth of the city seems both financially and environmentally unsustainable. As a taxpayer, I don't want my money being squandered on an annexation that would likely become even more low population density housing for the bourgeoisie. As a latecomer to this discussion, I will be interested to hear what other ideas the city has for this land, were it to be annexed, besides development by MMS or a similar company. Looking to the outskirts of town, north, south, east, and west, I am skeptical that anything else would be done with this acquisition, so I don't think it should be annexed at all to begin with. I appreciate Mayor Teague, Mayor Pro Tem Salih, and Councilmembers Taylor and Thomas voting to defer this decision. Sincerely, Asa Crowe P.S. Thank you again for your work with the Iowa Freedom Riders, may you continue to act on their demands fully and promptly. Also, I hope you're all staying safe and having happy holidays. Kellie Fruehling From: Nettie Wildrick <nettie.wildrick@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 8, 2020 12:19 AM To: Council Subject: Annexation of Carson land i Ftl�l�4 To the Iowa City Council, Hello, it has come to my attention that the Carson farm is at risk for Suburban Sprawl, which is damaging for the environment. Not only would it cause the death of many animals (as their homes would be destroyed) it would also take away valuable 'untouched' land. One of the most beautiful things about Iowa City is the fact that it's in Iowa; which has beautiful geographic locations and had been proven to be a very naturistic state. People don't come to Iowa for the city, they come to Iowa for the beauty of nature that has unfortunately been lost in many other states and big cities. It would be great if Iowa City can claim something that no other big cities can; "Where nature meets the city!" Please, for the good of the environment, do NOT annex the land. Thank you for your time. -Nettie Kellie Fruehling From: pat bowen <patjbowen@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 8, 2020 2:42 PM To: Council Subject: Annexation Vote No Council and Mayor: I oppose the trend of suburban sprawl. Don't annex the Carson Farm near southwest Iowa City. What I see happening on the east side of Iowa City is horribly not attractive and takes away from the lovely rural area surrounding our city. It is taking away habitat for wild animals forcing them into the city to deal with. How would this annexation impact blowa City's commitment and resolution declaring a climate crisis? I would like to see money being spent on helping homeowners and landlords retrofit their properties to be Sustainable and in better condition.

Prepared By: Jason Reichart, Sr. Civil Engineer Reviewed By: Jason Havel, City Engineer Ron Knoche, Public Works Director Geoff Fruin, City Manager Fiscal Impact: The estimated cost for this project is $559,000 and will be funded by Account #P3976 — Idyllwild Drainage. Recommendations: Staff: Approval Commission: N/A Attachments: Location Map Resolution Executive Summary: The Idyllwild Drainage Diversion Project includes the construction of new storm sewers under Foster Road and Taft Speedway and a drainage swale along the west side of No Name Road to the Iowa River. This work will allow stormwater from large rain events to bypass the Idyllwild storm sewer and stormwater management system. The project will also include a bid alternate for a new pump station for the Idyllwild Subdivision. Coordination with the Idyllwild Condominium Owners Association and the Forest View developers will occur following the receipt of bids on the project, prior to any recommendations for award of the pump station alternate. Background /Analysis: After the completion of the Taft Speedway Flood Mitigation Study in 2012, City Council directed staff to proceed with a preliminary study for rerouting offsite drainage from the northwest corner of the Idyllwild development. The study analyzed the Idyllwild watershed (north of Foster Road) and identified deficiencies within the existing stormwater system. From the results, two alternatives were developed at a preliminary level. The City entered into a Consultant Agreement with HR Green, Inc. in 2017, for the Idyllwild Stormwater Drainage Diversion Project with authorized HR Green, Inc. to evaluate the results of the 2016 Idyllwild Drainage Diversion Study to determine the best alternative, develop preliminary pump station design for the Idyllwild Flood Mitigation System, prepare preliminary and final design for the desired alternative and provide bidding and construction phase services for the Idyllwild Drainage Diversion Project. In 2017 Idyllwild completed a grading project to construct a berm around the development. The berm was meant to be a foundation for HESCO barriers and would have protected the area from river flooding up to 2008 flood levels. However, the berm was not constructed to US Army Corp of Engineering standards and does not address seepage concerns related to large river flood events. Therefore, the City had HR Green complete a seepage analysis and study the effects of adding HESCO barriers to the top of the berm. The results of this analysis showed that the existing berm would not provide a sound footing for HESCO barriers as originally intended and recommended addressing the seepage to protect the berm. Though the diversion nearly eliminates the need for a traditional pump station by rerouting larger stormwater flows around the Idyllwild development, a smaller pump station could be utilized to address some of the seepage concerns and provide additional drawdown capabilities for the ponds. A small pump station would also provide additional protection from large local precipitation events flooding Foster Road and Idyllwild during riverflood events. City staff met with representatives from Idyllwild and the proposed development north of Foster Road to discuss stormwater concerns related to existing and anticipated post -development conditions in the area. During these discussions, the City committed to completing the design of a pump station and including it as a bid alternate as part of the diversion project. This will allow all parties to evaluate the actual cost to construct the pump station and determine if it should ultimately be included with the construction of the project. As part of these discussions, the Forest View developer (North Dubuque LLC) offered to contribute 25% of the project cost for construction of a pump station. In addition, representatives from the I dyllwild community stated they were prepared to contribute up to $100,000 towards the pump station alternate. The current estimate for the pump station is $262,000. Project Timeline: Hold Public Hearing — December 15, 2020 Bid Letting — January 12, 2021 Award Date — February 2, 2021 Construction Start— Spring 2021 Final Completion — Fall 2021 This timeline allows for additional coordination with Idyllwild and Forest View after bids are taken to discuss a potential funding agreement for the pump station alternate as discussed above. The award of the pump station alternate will be dependent on a funding agreement to use private contributions to cover a funding shortfall if bids are high.
