temporary 60' x 60' parking lot west of the existing driveway on Fletcher
Avenue for the sale of used cars, as published in the Waterloo Courier on
October 19, 1990, be received and placed on file. Motion carried.
96558 - HOLD HEARING --This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor
called for written and oral objections.
Bob Stevenson, City Planner, stated that the request of Lockard Development,
Inc. was for an amendment to the "C -2/C -Z" Conditional Zoning site plan
between Fletcher and Howrey Avenues south of Janney Avenue. The applicant is
proposing to construct a temporary 60' x 60' parking lot west of the existing
driveway on Fletcher Avenue for the sale of used cars. The sales office is
located to the south of the proposed parking lot in a "C-2" Commercial
classification. The applicant requests that this use be allowed until
December 31, 1991 or until such time that a permanent business is located at
the site. The Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission recommended
approval of the site plan amendment with the following conditions: 1)
Approved hard surfacing of the parking lot by the City Engineer, 2) Approved
drainage plan of the entire site in conjunction with the hard surfacing of the
parking lot, 3) Screening of the parking lot from adjoining residences and no
parking lot lights to be installed, and 4) That continued use of the parking
lot beyond December 31, 1991 be resubmitted for approval by the Planning,
Programming and Zoning Commission and the City Council. A petition of
opposition representing 69 percent of the owners lying within 250 feet of the
request was noted.
Dolores Guhl, 1208 Howrey Avenue, objected to the proposed use of the
property. Joan Mineff, 405 Janney Avenue, opposed the request and indicated
that additional lighting is not needed for the parking lot as shown. She also
stated that the screening that is being required in no way blocks the view for
those living on Hartman or Fletcher Avenues.
Ken Lockard, representing the applicant, stated that the proposed use is not
one of those listed as an exclusion as a part of the original Conditional
Zoning request. Mr. Lockard reported that his client is trying to establish a
business in the community while at the same time making every effort to be a
good neighbor to surrounding residences. He briefly explained the operation
of the dealer who proposes to locate at the site.
Moved by Budak, seconded by Angel
that the hearing be closed and the petition of objection from 69 percent of
the property owners within 250 feet of the request and the recommendation of
approval of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and oral and
written comments, be received and placed on file. Motion carried.

ORDINANCES TO BE ADOPTED
96570 - The Mayor announced that the time had arrived for discussion on the proposed
sewer rate increase.
John Meyer presented a list of Fiscal Year 1991 projects committed or underway
that will be included in the upcoming bond sale. A major portion of the
proceeds will be used for the River Front Interceptor from the Water Pollution
Control Plant to West 18th Street. A proposed three-year summary of rate
increases was presented, proceeds of which would be used to retire the bonds
necessary for upcoming sewer projects.
Al Manning, 919 Fairview Avenue, questioned the proposed increases and stated
that the middle income person is hit with more and more taxes and increased
fees. He pointed to other fees and taxes that have been imposed upon the
public and stated that we cannot continue to tax the middle class person. He
also questioned whether the development of the northeast segment of the
community has resulted in additional costs to the residential customer. John
Meyer, Public Works Director, stated that it has been the City's philosophy
that cost associated with the interceptor should be borne by residential
customers. Any improvements to the plant are mainly for the benefit of
industry. Accordingly, the proposed increase in the minimum fee has been used
to fund the interceptor and flow rates to fund sewer plant improvements.
.Mayor McKinley stated that the proposed intercity interceptor would greatly
relieve flooding problems in the downtown area. In addition, much of the
intercity sewers were constructed in the 1920s and could experience collapse
at any time. Mr. Meyer reported that in a survey of the ten largest cities in
Iowa in September 1989, Waterloo ranked eighth in the combined cost to
customers of sewer and water services. Even with the proposed increase to
become effective January 1, 1991, the City of Waterloo would be fifth in the
September 1989 schedule. The Mayor stated that an alternative to the
three-year proposed increase would be to consider a one-year increase now and
then at a future time determine a need for successive increases.
Councilperson Dell stated that he had several concerns with the rate
increase. He favored the exemption schedule allowing all persons to be exempt
from the proposed increase with incomes under $10,000 per year. He also
questioned whether the City should cease work on the intercity interceptor and
not realize any benefit for the dollars that have already been spent on
previous phases.
Virgil De Groote, 241 Fairfield Avenue, questioned whether or not there were
state or federal funds available to fund the proposed improvements. It was
reported that no such funds are available through the Environmental Protection
Agency.
November 5, 1990 Page 6
Ordinances to be Adopted - continued
Mel Smelser, 2235 Temple Avenue, stated that he had recently toured the Water
Pollution Control Plant and had received comments from employees concerning
the plant's operation. He encouraged better communication with the employees.
He also encouraged better budget control. In response to a question from Mr.
Smelser, Mr. Meyer reported that IBP has exceeded their concentration limits on
a daily basis but not a monthly basis. This situation is being closely
monitored.
Councilperson Buck also reported that a recent audit of the sewage facilities
fund has indicated that fund balances are adequate.
96571 - Moved by Dell, seconded by Budak
that "an Ordinance amending the 1988 Code of Ordinances of the City of
Waterloo, Iowa, by repealing Subsections (2) and (6) of Section 34-43,
Determination of Rates and Charges, of Chapter 34, Utilities; and by enacting
in lieu thereof new Subsections (2) and (6) of Section 34-43, Determination of
Rates and Charges, of Chapter 34, Utilities; and by adding a new Subsection
(7) to Section 34-43, Determination of Rates and Charges of Chapter 34,
Utilities", be received, placed on file considered and passed for the first
time, with an exemption of $1.85 on the minimum charge for persons with
household incomes of less than $10,000. Ayes: Five. Nays: Wright. Absent:
Fox. Motion carried.
96572 - The Mayor announced that the time had arrived for discussion on amendments to
the Garbage, Refuse and Yard Waste Ordinance concerning burning.
Moved by Budak, seconded by None
that burning be allowed on both Saturday and Sunday, with alternate days to be
designated by the Mayor, if weekends proved inappropriate.
A citizen stated that the current ordinance is very difficult to abide by and
non -workable. He alluded to the Cedar Falls ordinance that allows citizens to
rake leaves into the street.
Mayor McKinley stated that Waterloo is one of the few large cities in the
state that allows open burning. He stated that perhaps the City may need to
consider total elimination of burning. A second alternative would be to
designate ten days in the spring and ten days in the fall. The Mayor stated
that this is a very complex issue to deal with and appease both groups.
Councilperson Brown suggested that burning be allowed seven days a week or not
at all.
Ron Lepsch, 467 Devonshire Road, suggested the City consider banning open
burning.
Cecil Lauterbach, 1955 West Seventh Street, suggested that the City consider
allowing burning just a few weeks a year. He stated that under the current
ordinance, citizens will let their leaves lie and make the City look shabby.
Elaine Jaquith, 3148 Marigold Drive, suggested the City consider a total ban
on burning. She also stated that the upcoming Iowa Legislative Session may
change some of the laws concerning burning.
Dave Burman, 1103 Vine Street, stated the City should impose fines against
those persons who illegally burn in the streets.
Moved by Brown, seconded by Dell
that "an Ordinance amending the 1988 Code of Ordinances of the City of
Waterloo, Iowa, by repealing parts of the existing Chapter 16 - Garbage and
Refuse, and enacting in lieu thereof new parts of Chapter 16 - Garbage, Refuse
and Yard Waste --Burning Dates", be received, placed on file, considered and
