He stated that no lasting employment would be developed as a result of the rezoning, and that it would further cause congestion on Fletcher August 15, 1988 Page 2 Hearings - continued Avenue. He also asked what control would be put on the kinds of materials that could be stored in the garages including hazardous materials. He also asked when the site could come back for reconsideration for rezoning if denied tonight. It was explained that the request could come back to the Council in four months. Karma Cahill, representing the Waterloo/Cedar Falls Board of Realtors, stated that the proposed rezoning would be a deterrent to the area, particularly as it affects traffic on Fletcher Avenue. She asked that the Council carefully consider the effect of the rezoning on traffic patterns in the area. Charlie Lynch, 334 Euclid Avenue, stated that he opposed the alley vacation since utilities are within the right of way. Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, stated that the alley vacation public hearing was scheduled later in the Council meeting; however, the rezoning, alley vacation and "S-1" site plan review are all related to the same development, but acted on separately. Charlie Lynch, 334 Euclid Avenue, asked the estimated value of the alley being sold to the developers. It was explained that the City sells unbuildable property such as the alley described above at 10 cents per square foot. It was also explained that easements are attached to the real property and that they become a matter of record with the vacation. Joe Bartels, 646 Summit Avenue, asked what assurances residents have that a storage facility will be built on the site. It was explained that the Conditional Rezoning request will list the conditions by which the developers must abide by. In response to questions relating to whether adjoining property owners would be allowed to buy their one-half of the alley, it was reported that all four adjacent property owners have agreed to purchase their portion of the alley. Jim Blackledge, developer of the site, answered several of the concerns raised by the neighbors. He stated that he cannot substantiate that property values will decrease as a result of this development. The proposed use will be a low volume generator of traffic and that the materials stored in the garages will be no more hazardous than materials stored in anyone's garage. Access to the property was explained. Councilperson Brown asked whether the Council could approve the "S-1" andnotthe alley vacation. It was stated that this situation would need to be reviewed. Anita Andries, 2260 Logan Avenue, stated that the proposed use will detract from property values in the area. After discussion, it was explained that ten feet of the twenty foot alley had been vacated in the 1940s leaving a ten foot alley. Richard Haggin, 621 Summit Avenue, stated that within the alley right of way, there are fire hydrants and an underground transformer and asked how access would be maintained to these facilities. Jim Blackledge responded by indicating that a survey would be completed and that the necessary arrangements would be made to maintain these utilities or move them at the developers cost. Charlie Lynch, 334 Euclid Avenue, asked what measures were being taken concerning the storm water runoff from the area. Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, stated that a drainage plan would be submitted. The City requires that the runoff from the site be maintained at the current rate and metered into the storm sewer. Charlie Lynch, 334 Euclid Avenue, objected to no buffer zone. It was explained that the front yard will be on Fletcher Avenue and that the side yards are on Summit Avenue and opposite Summit Avenue. Objection was raised that only a five foot buffer zone is being proposed along Summit Avenue. Richard Haggin stated that safety problems already exist in the Fletcher Avenue area and that this will continue to add to the problem. Rudolph Gonzalas, 609 Summit Avenue, stated that neighbors do not want this type of structure and development in their backyard.

Mason and Max Guernsey for a portion of Fletcher Avenue for a mini storage facility. It was stated that the site plan requires a 35 foot setback along the alley portion of the project. Bill Bartels, 646 Summit Avenue, asked for an explanation of the "S-1" zoning. It was stated that the property under consideration for site plan review was zoned many years ago as "S-1" Shopping Center District. Said designation allows for approval of the layout of the buildings, setbacks, access and other similar items. Chuck Rogers, 918 Baltimore Street, owner of the eight plex on the north side of Summit Avenue, stated that he opposed the development plan. Harry Zanville, attorney, asked what City standards are required for a site plan and what the role of the Council is for review of site plans. Assistant City Attorney Molly Frazer stated that the site plan must meet the criteria of the zoning ordinance.

He stated that since this area lies within the flood plain, it presents an environmental issue and health hazards that must be addressed. He also stated that the scrap iron and metal yard depreciates the property values in the area. He stated that the levee provides recreation such as bicycling and jogging and that the area should be preserved. He asked that the Council reject the request.

The Mayor stated that this item has been remanded to the Board of Adjustment for review at their next regularly scheduled meeting on August 23, 1988. He stated that the City Attorney has determined that this request does not lie within the jurisdiction of the City Council and that only the Board of Adjustment may act on special permit requests. Mayor McKinley stated that this opinion only applies to this particular request. The City Attorney's opinion was issued following the Mayor's request to have the City Attorney review this item. Harry Zanville asked whether or not the Mayor was also suggesting that the Stuber request as proposed on Burton Avenue also be remanded back to the Board of Adjustment. Mayor McKinley stated that the opinion of the City Attorney was rendered after said request and that his opinion only pertained to the request on Independence Avenue. Gary Stuber asked what the time frame would be for the Board of Adjustment to act on his request. Don Temeyer, Planning and Development Director, stated that the Board will be meeting on August 23, 1988 to review the request. The Board will be provided with the necessary information to make a decision on said request. Mr. Stuber asked whether or not the Mayor would allow anyone who had come to tonight's meeting to speak for or against the request. Councilperson Brown asked whether or not Mr. Stuber would consider going back to the Burton Avenue location. Mr. Stuber answered by saying no. August 15, 1988 Page 6 Hearings - continued Mayor McKinley stated that anyone present could speak for or against the request, but their purpose would better be served making their comments before the Board of Adjustment. Councilperson Angel expressed her concern that the Council was not provided with a copy of the City Attorney's opinion to the Mayor concerning this request. She asked that Councilpersons be provided a copy of the opinion. Harry Zanville asked why this special permit request was different than the previous request on the Burton Avenue site. Again, the Mayor reiterated that the Attorney had ruled that the Board of Adjustment is the cognizant board to hear said request. Molly Frazer stated that the City does not have an opinion on the previous hearing held for Gary Stuber for his special permit request on Burton Avenue. Ms. Frazer read verbatim the opinion dated August 5, 1988 from City Attorney Hugh Field to Mayor McKinley. The copy of said opinion is available in the Clerk/Auditor's Office. Harry Zanville asked why the City Attorney's opinion referred to above was not issued prior to the initiation of the review of the special permit request of Gary Stuber on Burton Avenue. Mayor McKinley responded by stating that he had asked the City Attorney to review the issue at the time the Independence Avenue site was initiated because he felt that it should be researched thoroughly. Councilperson Angel stated that the City Council does not have any power to affect a special permit request based upon the City Attorney's opinion and that the Board of Adjustment does.
