Bob Stevenson, City Planner, stated that this was excess right-of-way and is adjacent to property owned by the Y.M.C.A. of Black Hawk County. The property was appraised for $8,000. It was the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning staff that the offer of $5,000 be accepted, since no other party would be interested in said property. Moved by Budak, seconded by Brown that the above oral comments be received and placed on file and the hearing be closed. Motion carried. 99093 - Moved by Wright, seconded by Budak that "Resolution authorizing sale and conveyance of property located at the northwest corner of University Avenue and Greenhill Road to Y.M.C.A. of Black Hawk County for $5,000.00", be adopted and City Attorney instructed to prepare and deliver a deed accordingly.

Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 1992-145. 99094 - Moved by Fox, seconded by Brown that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on request of Dick Klingaman to rezone from "A-1" Agricultural District to "M-1" Light Industrial District property generally located between U.S. 63 and Eldora Road, south of the Williams Brothers Pipeline Co. to develop a portion of the property for an auto and heavy equipment auction facility, as published in the Waterloo Courier on March 23, 1992, be received and placed on file. Motion carried. 99095 - 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 Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission had recommended approval, subject to the following conditions: Prior to any specific development being proposed, a satisfactory sanitary sewer and storm drainage plan must be approved by the City Engineer, and that no portion of the property would be used for a race track of any kind without first obtaining a special permit under the provision of the Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Stevenson also reported that staff made two additional recommendations that they urged the City Council strongly consider. They are: 1) No access onto Eldora Road from the site, and 2) That a 100 foot wide landscape buffer area paralleling Eldora Road be required. Dick Young, a 76 year resident of the community and former member of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, opposed the rezoning as it would hinder growth in the Waterloo and Hudson areas due to excessive noise. As an adjacent property owner, he and others wish to develop adjacent property as resident district which would not be compatible with the proposed use. In response to Mr. Young's question, staff clarified that Mr. Klingaman has only asked that the property be rezoned to accommodate an auto and heavy equipment auction facility and that parking for a race track in Hudson was not a part of the request. It was noted that a special permit would be required for any extension of the race track into the proposed area. It was also noted that the rezoning could be approved exempting certain types of uses. Ed Pullin, a resident of Hudson and owner of property adjacent to the request, stated that he was against the proposed use and alluded to the problems the City of Hudson has had with his request for a race track. Tim Luce, attorney representing Dick Young, sought answers to two questions, including whether hard surfacing would be required for the parking lot and whether the request would allow a race track. Mr. Stevenson stated that the parking lot would need to be hard surfaced for the auction area and the drainage plan approved by the City Engineer. It was noted that any use related to the race track, including parking, would need to go to the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and forwarded to the Board of Adjustment for final adjudication. Hearings - continued April 6, 1992 Page 3 Dick Klingaman, applicant, stated that he had identified two needs within the community, including a race track and a car auction facility for vintage autos. Mr. Klingaman leases the property and desires access to Eldora Road. He noted that the adjacent properties would be difficult to develop as residential with the underground pipelines and restrictions on excavations. He stated that although the 100 foot buffer would be difficult to develop, he favors an aesthetically pleasing race track. He stated that a 25 foot setback would be more reasonable. Mr. Klingaman apologized for any traffic he may bring to the Waterloo area because of the proposed development. Mr. Stevenson noted that Eldora Road needs considerable reconstruction and its narrowness will inhibit large equipment. Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, stated that he has attended many auctions which in many cases draw many attenders resulting in considerable adjacent commercial development. Councilperson Fox stated that the Council has expressed a desire to extend the requirements of the Gateway Ordinance beyond the U.S. Highway 218 Corridor. He asked whether the 63 Corridor and this property could be more aesthetically pleasing if the ordinance were enforced along this major thoroughfare. Mr. Stevenson commented that a citizens' committee is currently working on landscaping requirements that may be retroactive back to vacant land but not to undeveloped land along major corridors such as U.S. Highway 63. Mr. Klingaman stated that he was willing to meet appropriate landscaping requirements. Moved by Budak, seconded by Wright that the hearing be closed and the recommendation of approval of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and written and oral comments be received and placed on file. Motion carried. 99096 - Moved by Brown, seconded by Fox that the request of Dick Klingaman to rezone from "A-1" Agricultural District to "M-1" Light Industrial District property generally located between U.S. 63 and Eldora Road, south of the William Brothers Pipeline Co. to develop a portion of the property for an auto and heavy equipment auction facility be tabled for one week.

Motion 99098 - HOLD HEARING --This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral objections Bob Stevenson, City Planner, noted that it would take five votes of the Council to override the recommendation of denial of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission. Thomas Biemann, applicant and residing at 807 Creston Avenue, stated that he intends to use the area only for used tires and not as an auto salvage location. With the proposed Sixth Street Extension, he was looking to the future and trying to comply with the ordinances. He stated that he stores approximately 5,000 tires on the site. He also indicated a willingness to move across the street to an "M-1" Light Industrial District. Councilperson Wright stated that she had received numerous complaints concerning the large number of tires at this location. Bob Stevenson, City Planner, noted that the property is incorrectly zoned and the rezoning would allow Biemann to obtain approval for a salvage yard for tires. Judy Siler, 2341 Independence Avenue, stated that she opposed the proposed rezoning and indicated that it is a nuisance to the neighborhood. She also stated that Mr. Biemann had recently moved the tires. April 6, 1992 Page 4 Hearings - continued Lucy Etringer, 2375 Independence, stated that she was opposed to the rezoning request. She also commented about the messy surroundings and the junk that accumulates at the location. Steve Glaspie, 2272 Independence Avenue, spoke against the request and questioned Mr. Biemann on the ownership of adjacent property. Mr. Biemann's property was identified as being north of the proposed request and zoned "M-1" Light Industrial District and "C-1" Commercial District. Betty Meather, 2330 Independence Avenue, spoke against the rezoning request and asked the Council to deny it. Moved by Brown, seconded by Wright that the hearing be closed and the recommendation of denial of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, petitions in favor and opposing said request and written and oral comments be received and placed on file. Motion carried. 99099 - Moved by Fox, seconded by Angel that the request of Thomas Biemann to rezone from "C-1" Commercial District to "M- 1" Light Industrial District property generally located on the southeast corner of Independence Avenue and Bishop Avenue for use as an outdoor tire storage and salvage yard be denied. Ayes: Five. Absent: Dell, Buck. Motion carried. 99100 - Moved by Budak, seconded by Brown that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on amendments to Zoning Ordinance No. 2479, as amended, as it pertains to auto salvage yards and junk yards, as published in the Waterloo Courier on March 23, 1992, be received and placed on file. Motion carried. 99101 - 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 proposed ordinance changes have been done in conjunction and cooperation with a committee consisting of city staff and various auto and salvage yard operators. Bob Donels, Assistant City Planner, stated that the amendments re -define junk and auto salvage yards as recycling yards. As a special permit, each recycling yard must meet the following minimum requirements: Each must be surrounded with a fence or wall at least 8 feet in uniform height and color, no off -premise advertising on any wall or fence, post, railings and other supporting elements of the fence shall face inside the yard, vehicle bodies stacked higher than the wall or fence shall be no higher than two car bodies above the wall when stacked at least 15 feet from the fence. All other stacked salvage material cannot be higher than the allowable building height within the zoning district, all work must be performed within the fenced area, contaminating fluids are prohibited from being discharged onto the ground, and all areas devoted to customer and/or employee parking must be hard surfaced, on private property, that no salvage materials be placed in the floodway, that new yards established after the adoption of this ordinance place the required solid wall or fence no closer to any street, lot line and the minimum front yard required within the district it is located. Mel Smelser, 2235 Temple Avenue, objected to allowing piles that could be as high as 48 feet. He asked for the Council's reconsideration of this requirement. It was noted by City staff that fences are required even though piles may be higher than the fence for containment purposes. Moved by Brown, seconded by Angel that the hearing be closed and the recommendation of approval of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and written and oral comments be received and placed on file. Motion carried. 99102 - Moved by Wright, seconded by Budak that "an Ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance, No. 2479, as amended, as it pertains to auto salva a yards and junk yards", be received, placed on file, considered and passed fr the first time.

PETITIONS FROM PUBLIC 99107 - An amendment to a site plan for Alabar Plaza to allow an 8' x 14' storage shed was discussed. City staff noted that a date of hearing could be set if the Council thought the change was significant. The owner of Paul Revere's Pizza had circulated a petition to businesses within the Plaza asking whether the elimination of a parking space with the placement of the storage shed on the south side of Alabar Plaza would inhibit parking for their customers. All agreed that one less space was not detrimental to their customers. He asked that the Council allow them to proceed, particularly since the residents along Linbud Lane cannot see the shed. City Planner Bob Stevenson noted that with the businesses in the basement area of the Plaza, the minimum parking requirements are not being met and therefore the staff opposes the elimination of one additional parking space for placement of the storage shed. Staff reported that two residents along Linbud Lane had called to voice their opposition of the request. Connie Merron, 1038 Linbud Lane, stated that she and her neighbors are concerned about the availability of parking in the Plaza and the potential for overflow to park on Linbud Lane. She urged the Council to deny the request. Joe Harris, 912 Clough Street, noted that as a customer of the businesses in the Plaza, he has had no problems with finding parking at any time during the day. Moved by Brown, seconded by Angel that communication from City Planner transmitting site plan amendment request of Alabar Plaza to allow an 8' x 14' storage shed on the south side of Alabar Plaza together with recommendation of denial of Planning, Programming and Zoning staff, be received, placed on file and "Resolution setting date of hearing as April 20, 1992 at 7:00 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers on the above described request", be adopted and Clerk/Auditor instructed to publish notice of same.

Family members will attempt to pay the property taxes but funds are not available for payment of the pavement installments. Larry P. Burger, City Clerk/Auditor, reminded the Council that it has been past practice not to forgive installment payments, although past practice has allowed cancellation of annual sewer and garbage assessments. Mr. Burger suggested that the family consider payment of the installments and apply for a suspension of the property taxes to the Black Hawk County Courthouse. Ms. Morgan noted that this would need to be discussed with family members.
