Some highlights from the Fiscal Year 2013 Audit were the general fund had a balance of $7.4 million, which is 50% of the total expenditures of the fund for the year. The ratio of fund balance to general fund expenditures is what bond rating agencies and other users of financial statements use to 1

2 gage the financial health of the city. The Hotel and Conference Center Enterprise Fund reported a profit before depreciation expense of $900,000 after recognizing $2.2 million of interest on bonds to construct the facility. This is an increase of $400,000 over the prior year. The Enterprise fund balance increased $3.2 million before depreciation expense; the citywide cash and pooled investments totaled $17.2 million compare to $15.4 million at the end of The City expended $13.9 million in grants funded by the federal government and the audit required compliance testing of the grants and found the City complied with the requirements of those grants.

It was noted this resolution is for the utilities and paving package for the University Parkway Extension RISE Project Bids are due April 17, 2014 and the Council will take action on the bids at the April 22, 2014 Council Meeting RESOLUTION NO Resolution approving the plans, specifications, estimate of cost and form of contract; ordering bids; setting a date for the receiving of said bids; and directing published notice of the bid letting; all for the University Parkway Extension RISE Project 2013, Bid Package #2 Paving was introduced by Hoeft, seconded by Goodrich. A roll call vote was taken. Resolution declared adopted. 808 ON 5 TH ~ PUBLIC HEARINGS Mayor John A. Lundell declared this the time for a public hearing on the intent to dispose of an interest in real property and enter into a Development Agreement with Blue Sky Developers, Inc. and soliciting alternate proposals for the development of a portion of the old trailer park located adjacent to 5 th Street between 6 th Avenue and 10 th Avenue. City Attorney Kevin Olson reported the City passed a resolution giving notice of intent to enter into a Development Agreement with Blue Sky Developers, Inc. The law requires at least a 30 day notice for this agreement. The City will convey a portion of Lot 1 and all of Lot 2 to Blue Sky Developers, Inc. and the project requires two mixed-use buildings with 18,000 sq. ft. of commercial space and four stories of residential space on each building with a minimum assessment of $6,600, for each building. The closing is scheduled for June 1 st. After tonight s rezoning of the lots to C-PUD 1, they still need to submit a site plan and final plat for approval before the closing takes place. There is reversionary clause in the agreement if the development does not happen. No other proposals were received for this property by the deadline of 10:00 A.M. on Monday, March 24 th. Tom Hermann of th Street representing a collective of families from 6 th to 9 th Avenues and along 5 th Street; Bret Crowley of th Avenue; and Michelle Hermann of th Street are not opposed to the development the Old Trailer Park. They are opposed to the development of two five story buildings with little set back along 5 th Street and they believe the development is not in keeping with a single family neighborhood and goes against the community plan. The buildings will cast a shadow over homes north of it for three months during the winter and will increase their heating bills. They were concerned the City is giving away property valued at $1.1 million and they believe they City is dictating a minimum assessed value for the project to recoup the cost of the property at the expense of the neighborhood and he believes a more reasonable development no more than three stories and larger setbacks or a u shaped development would be more appropriate. They expressed concerns on having to care for a 5 foot wide sidewalk instead of a 3 foot sidewalk and they thought they should have been contacted earlier. They asked the Council to delay approval of the development to give more time for residents to meet with the Council and developer to come up with a plan that meets everyone s needs. Developer Blaine Thomas noted in 2

3 November of 1995 the Town Center District Plan was adopted and the 808 ON 5 TH met all those requirements and it there was no change in the intended land use for this property in the 2014 Community Plan and the 808 ON 5 TH project meets those requirements as well. Thomas noted he has worked with City staff on this plan in order to assure its success and he is excited about this project and the positive impact it will have for Coralville and its citizens. Lundell asked if there were any written comments and City Clerk Thorsten J. Johnson responded there were and reported the following. Bret Crowley noted his concerns on giving away the land and respecting the neighborhood. Nearby residents Tom & Michelle Hermann wrote on concerns with traffic, retail space noise, and blocking of their winter sunlight and they would like the building set back further, reduced to three stories and have a south entrance from 2 nd Street. Brad Houser of Houser Enterprises; Anne Vespa, owner of Heritage Property Management; Market President Michelle Bennett with Skogman Realty; Fay Swift; Larry Lynch; and Nicholas Gulick wrote in favor of the development.. Lundell noted the Council received copies of the written comments. There were no further public or written comments. Lundell closed the public hearing. After the resolution was read, Councilperson Mitch Gross reported he did meet with residents on Sunday. Gross asked developer Blaine Thomas if there was a shadow study done. Thomas responded a formal study was not done, but he used an on-line program called sketch up to determine the shadow would only include three quarters of the street after figuring in the height of the building with the 90 foot City right-of-way, 35 foot set back the citizens have, and the 20 foot setback they have and the 20 feet of parking in the front. Councilperson Tom Gill stated Thomas was correct the Town Center District Plan has been in effect 20 years and the City has denied plans that would have larger setbacks, because the plan requires buildings to be built near the street with parking in the back. Gill believes the amenities for project will overshadow the shadow. Councilperson Jill Dodds noted she was on the Community Plan committee and they kept the Town Center District Plan intact, because 5 th Street is an arterial road. Dodds added these will be affordable apartments which fit into the Community Plan goal to have affordable housing options available. Councilperson Bill Hoeft thanked residents for their input, because it is helpful to discuss things that he may not have thought of. Hoeft thought this development has the potential to provide both affordable and elderly housing. Hoeft added the parking in front of the development will help keep people from parking in the adjoining neighborhood. Dodds noted there will be parking under the building. City Administrator Kelly Hayworth reported the development will be accessible from the alley off of 10 th Avenue and Highway 6. Hayworth added there may be a future access off of 6 th Avenue and they limited access on 5 th Street to one point at the intersection of 8 th Avenue instead of having three. Gross noted the difference of building height allowed in current zoning and the proposed zoning is 10 feet, which is not a huge factor in the length of the shadow. Mayor John A. Lundell stated the Council does consider the impact of a development on the City as a whole as well as the residents close by and he knows the Council has taken into consideration both no matter the outcome. RESOLUTION NO Resolution approving the disposition of property legally described as Lots 1 and 2, 808 ON 5 TH, Coralville, Iowa; and approving a Development Agreement with 808 ON 5 TH, LLC was introduced by Gross, seconded by Gill. A roll call vote was taken. Resolution declared adopted Building & Zoning Official Jim Kessler reported they are rezoning the properties along 5 th Street zoned C- 3 and the remainder of the properties behind zoned C-2 to a C-PUD 1. Kessler showed the Council a map of the proposed rezoning and the preliminary plat. The preliminary plat will divide the property into two buildable lots and one outlot. The two buildable lots extend from one building lot west of 6 th Avenue to th Street. There will be one access from 5 th Street, with a possible access from 6 th Avenue and an access way from 2 nd Street which will never be a full street. The Planning & Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to recommend the Council approve the rezoning and preliminary plat. Mayor John A. Lundell asked how the current zoning differs from the proposed C-PUD 1 zoning and provides the City more control over the project. Kessler responded the current zoning only requires the developer to meet the requirements and they do not have to go before the Planning and Zoning Commission or City Council. A PUD requires them to get City approval for the building design, the entire site development and building materials. Lundell asked about the setback of the building from the street. Kessler responded Plaza on 5 th has a 10 foot setback from the street and 808 ON 5 TH will have a 40 foot setback from the travel portion of the street. Councilperson Tom Gill added the north side of the street will have vegetation between the street and 3

4 sidewalk and they will correct the storm sewers, roads and sidewalk. Hayworth noted this area with have a 90 foot right-of-way because it was the original highway instead of the normal 60 foot right-of-way. Hayworth noted they will bury the utilities and the sidewalk will be 5 feet wide. Mayor John A. Lundell declared this the time for a public hearing on rezoning 808 ON 5 TH from C-2, Arterial Commercial, and C-3, General Commercial, to a C-PUD1, Commercial Planned Unit Development One District and the Preliminary Plat. Michelle Hermann of th Street expressed concerns about the easement and having to take care of a wider sidewalk. Hermann asked what will happen to her mailbox. Hayworth responded it will remain in the same position it is and will be put back when the street project is done. Bret Cowley asked how the minimum assessment was determined and if it can be reduced to encourage a three story building. Hayworth responded the minimum assessment is determined by the development that was presented in the plan and is based on the value of the proposal. The plans were taken to the assessor to determine a reasonable valuation. The assessed value can be higher, but not less than what is in the agreement. There were no other public or written comments. Lundell closed the public hearing. After the ordinance was read, Councilperson Jill Dodds clarified the developer presented the plan to the Council and the minimum assessment was based on the plan and not determined by the Council. Councilperson Bill Hoeft noted the Council can require certain items like building materials and landscaping that might enhance the valuation of a property. Councilperson Tom Gill asked what can be put in a C-2 and C-3 zone. Building & Zoning Official Jim Kessler responded any commercial use. Gill noted right now they can put in just commercial development and this plan includes a nice mix of commercial and residential use. Gill did not think downzoning the City s commercial area to residential three story apartment buildings will add value to or enhance to the community. Gill thought this is a well thought out plan and will put a lot of amenities in the area. ORDINANCE NO An ordinance amending the Coralville Zoning Ordinance, the same being Ordinance No. 664, as previously amended, rezoning certain property located within the corporate limits of the City of Coralville, Johnson County, Iowa, and generally known as 808 On 5 TH, from C-2, Arterial Commercial District, and C-3, Commercial District Three, to a C-PUD 1, Commercial Planned Unit Development One District was introduced by Gill, seconded by Hoeft for 1 st consideration. A roll call vote was taken. Motion carried. POST CONSTRUCTION STORMWATER ORDINANCE ~ PUBLIC HEARING Mayor John A. Lundell declared this the time for the public hearing on the Post Construction Stormwater Ordinance. City Engineer Dan Holderness reported the ordinance will address how stormwater is managed on new development and re-development with the goal of reducing the degradation of water resources from runoff and minimizing localized flood damage to property in Coralville. Holderness noted the EPA is mandating the City do this type of ordinance as part of the Clean Water Act and this is the right thing to do. Holderness described the process the City followed to write this ordinance by forming an advisory committee made up of representatives from the Iowa Department of Ag and Land Stewardship, Iowa DNR, Johnson County NRCS, University of Iowa, Homebuilders Association, local engineering consultants, local business people, concerned citizens, Councilmembers and staff. The committee met several times since October; a draft ordinance was developed by February and put out under public notice; there was a public comment period from March 4 th to March 14 th ; there was a public house on March 11 th and the ordinance was presented to the Council at work session the same night. They received a lot of great comments, cataloged them and incorporated several to simplify and clarify the ordinance. They will take comments from the public hearing tonight and incorporate any comments deemed appropriate into the ordinance by the second reading. The final reading of the ordinance will be Earth Day on April 22 nd. The ordinance is similar to Johnson County s and North Liberty s. Some articles have been in the news about the EPA not implementing some post construction stormwater ordinance rules. The Iowa DNR stated the City still had to move forward because those rules would have widened the requirements. Holderness introduced Jay Michaels the consultant on developing the ordinance, Wayne Peterson from the Iowa Department of Ag and Land Stewardship and Stormwater Coordinator Amy Foster. Horticulturalist Ted Knight manager of the Garden Center at Forevergreen read a message from Lucy Herschberger a member of the advisory committee encouraging the Council to approve the 4

5 ordinance for the benefit of the community and everyone who relies on clean and safe water. Knight stated top soil is important for the health of plants and lawns and helps with water infiltration. Kimberlee Rocca with Rocca Custom Homes had concerns with obtaining permits because of dirt issues costing them time, added expense and waylaid their ability to construct homes. Rocca has to pass these costs on to homeowner. Rocca stated it is impractical to put sod over the topsoil when it is replaced because it is too squishy and needs time to compact. It is difficult to find topsoil to replace what the developer removes. Rocca asked the Council to revisit the topsoil requirements. Matt McAndrew of th Avenue and Chairman of the Clear Creek Enhancement Committee noted he built a rain garden with city help that takes half of the water from his roof. McAndrew noted other communities and farmers will look to Coralville to see how it protects the watershed. Brad Freidhot of 1329 Sweeting Lane voiced support for the ordinance and mentioned a lack of topsoil caused him lawn problems after buying a two year old home. President Chad Keune of the Greater Iowa City Area Home Builders Association noted it is hard find and replace 3 to 4 inches of top soil or organic material on a lot. Keune stated bioswales interfere with headlight screening in parking lots and the association would like more time to figure these things out. Dave Ratliff of 1703 Oak Lake Road is a part-time creek walker and he noted erosion increases along creeks near new construction because stormwater runoff is not being infiltrated which increases the water flow in the creeks. Ratliff noted pervious pavement and bioswales need to be maintained to help with stormwater runoff. Consultant Michaels is working with the City and 4 other Iowa communities are using what is learned here for their ordinances. Michaels noted the ordinance does not specify where the topsoil comes from. Michaels looks forward to working with the public to address issues as they come up. Ryan Maas an Iowa City resident endorses the path Coralville is taking because it demonstrates to other communities in the county and residents downstream it cares about increasing water quality and runoff issues. Maas felt homeowners should consider the costs as part of owning a home like they do for infrastructure and he noted there is a waiver available for excessive costs. Rocca asked the Council if this ordinance will apply to redevelopment and new development. Rocca wanted to know if there were ways to have future developers replace the top soil. Michaels responded existing developments will be grandfathered in. Michaels clarified the ordinance requires topsoil be preserved and reapplied to the site. Councilperson Tom Gill asked if there is something done to the underlying soil before the topsoil is applied. Michaels responded they would like to see deep tilling used to integrate the topsoil with the clay. Lundell asked if there were any written comments. City Clerk Thorsten J. Johnson responded Director of Iowa Stormwater Education Program Patricia Sauer from the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities wrote she supported the ordinance. There were no further public or written comments. Lundell closed the public hearing. After the ordinance was read, Councilperson Mitch Gross clarified our ordinance is the same as North Liberty. Stormwater Coordinator Amy Foster added the 4 inch topsoil replacement is a State requirement and the whole state has to comply with it. Gross noted not only are we required to do this, but it is the right thing to do. Hoeft asked how much flexibility does the City have with what is mandated by the State and Federal governments. Foster responded the City was required to come up with this ordinance in 2007 to comply with MS4 requirements. The Iowa DNR is not specific on water quality and quantity requirements. City Attorney Kevin Olson stated they are getting more uniform about the permit requirements. Councilperson Tom Gill asked if most communities in the state complying. Foster responded about half of the MS4 communities are complying and the other half will be required to beef up their post-construction programs. Councilperson Jill Dodds stated she served on the committee and she feels there was a lot of expertise on the committee and this is the way they have to go for the conservation of Coralville. Councilperson Bill Hoeft was glad we are taking the lead with this, but he wants to be sensitive and maintain a good relationship with builders even though these are state and federal requirements. Holderness agreed the City s goals are to maintain the great relationships with the builders, keep the ordinance clear and simple, and work with them as we learn to implement this ordinance. Mayor John A. Lundell asked for everyone to continue to share their comments and there is still time to add changes to the ordinance as they did with the Community Plan. ORDINANCE NO An ordinance amending Chapter 159 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Coralville (2011), as previously amended, regarding Post Construction Stormwater Control was introduced by Dodds, seconded by Gross for 1 st consideration. A roll call vote was taken. Motion carried. INTERMODAL FACILITY PHASE I 5
