the building and calm the traffic in the area to make it more inviting to shopping.

feel safe living in the community.
Mayor Hart apologized for the interaction earlier and Mr. Dillavou apologized for his outburst.

Dear Honorable Mayor & Council:
The following is an excerpt from the Board Meeting of the Waterloo Water Works
Trustees held Wednesday, September 19, 2018.
RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, the General Manager, Matthew L. Mahler,
presented a statement of$2,926.00, which is supported by invoice from
R Company d/b/a Frickson Backhoe & Trucking, and the Waterloo Water
Works, showing the work necessary to repair the service line in regards to
the following:
WHEREAS, the owner of the property was notified by the
Waterloo Water Works via certified mail sent to the primary contact
address listed in the Black Hawk County Assessor's records to make the
repairs to the service line at 424 Columbia Street, which is located on Lot
Number One (1) in Block Number Nine (9) in Calumet Addition to the City
of Waterloo, Iowa, Black Hawk County and owned by Wayne C. Hugill.
WHEREAS, an individual responded to the notification
identifying themselves as a contract buyer for the property and instructed
the Water Works to proceed with securing a contractor for the repair and
to invoice them for the cost of the repair. As the service line was leaking,
and its repair was time sensitive to eliminate the loss of water from the
system, the Water Works made the repairs to the service line and billed
the individual for the repair at the address listed in the County's records.
The individual did not pay the bill. The Water Works then sent an invoice
to the owner at the secondary contact address identified in the Black
Hawk County Assessor's records. The owner of the property did not
respond and did not pay the invoice, the Waterloo Water Works caused
the cost to be assessed to the property.

PERSONNEL REQUISITION
Facilities Services Specialist
The following questions are provided as guidelines to assist you in developing your
rational for the position of Facilities Services Specialist in the Cultural&Arts
Department. Depending upon your situation, some questions may or may not apply.
Please provide written responses to these questions as part of your preparation for
meeting with the Mayor.
(1) What are the key job responsibilities of this position?
See job description(attached).
(2) Can the job responsibilities of this position be assigned to other employees
within the department? If no,why not?
The duties and schedule are specific to this position and there is not adequate
staffing in place to support reassignment of the duties associated with the
position.
(3) How is the work of this position being accomplished now?
Other employees are working to cover open shifts. This is not sustainable.
(4) Are the filled positions in your department currently being utilized to their
maximum potential?
Yes,our department has experienced recent reductions in staffing.
(5) How would filling this position meet the needs of your department or the City
on either a short-term basis(if temporary position)or a long-term basis(if a
regular position)?
This position is required for operation and maintenance of the facility and fro
providing service to rental groups and support for museum programs.
(b) What cost savings or revenues,';if any,would your department or the City
realize if this position is filled?
This position is critical for delivery of facility rental services museum
programs which produce revenue streams.
(7) If you are paying overtime or comp time within your department to
accomplish this work now,how much overtime or comp time has been paid
out or earned that is directly attributable to this position and over what period
of time?
Our department does not have a budget for or allow overtime.
(8) How has the work load or demands of your department changed in
comparison to your staffing levels over the past three fiscal years? Provide
statistics if possible.
As noted,our department has experienced staffing reductions in recent years
including the elimination of a full time position and the reduction of another
to half time in the past two fiscal years.
(9) If this position is not filled,what affect will it have on your department?
What work will not get done? What costs will you incur? Please be as
specific as possible.
This position is critical in order for our facility to be open the hours that it
currently is and to facilitate the more than 1,200 meetings/events that are
Page 67 of 151
hosted by WCA annually. If not funded,we will need to consider
eliminating some evening or weekend hours which will result in the loss of
associated rental/program revenues.
(10) How do you cover the responsibilities for this position whenever the
incumbent is out on vacation?
Currently,other staff members cover shifts to the extent possible.Vacation
requests are denied at times if they coincide with particularly busy times or
large events.
(11) Is it possible that the City could outsource this position to an outside
agency? If so,what savings,if any,would the City realize as a result of this
change?
It would not likely be viable to outsource this position as the duties are
wide-ranging and to a great extent very particular to the WCA facility and
its operations. The learning curve for the position is particularly long.
(12) How would you rank this position in terms of its contribution to City
business in comparison with other positions reporting to you?
This position,while not one of the most prestigious, is one of the most
critical as all programs and activities are dependent upon having an open,
safe and secure facility.Again,most of the Center's revenue streams are tied
to this position.
(13) How does this position impact the Goals and Objectives for the City adopted
by the City Council?This position directly supports Strategy 4.5 (maintain
services&facilities that support quality of life)among others.

Resolution approving a request from Shawn Hoosman appealing the

Ordinances Section 7-1-4(G), concerning the disallowance of a second curb
SUBJECT: cut on a property with less than 100 foot of street frontage, located at 333
Wendell Court, together with recommendation of approval of the Planning
Pro rg amming and Zoning Commission, subject to the condition that the
second curb cut shall not be constructed until issuance of a garage permit.
Submitted by: Submitted By:Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development
Director
Recommended Action: Approve Resolution.
Shawn Hoosman has submitted an appeal of the decision of the Interim City
Engineer per the requirements of the Code of Ordinances Section 7-1-4,
(G). The City's driveway policy prohibits a property from having more than
one driveway if the property has less than 100' of street frontage. The
property in question at 333 Wendell Court has 80' of street frontage. The
property currently has one driveway having access to Wendell Court, but has a
Summary Statement: second driveway area that does not connect to the street.
The Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting on September
11, 2018 unanimously approved the request for the 2nd curb cut with the
condition that the driveway permit for the 2nd curb cut has to be issued in
conjunction with a building permit for a garage, as the second curb cut is
needed to serve the proposed garage.
Expenditure Required: None
Page 85 of 151
Source of Funds: N/A
Policy Issue: Driveway Policy
Alternative: N/A
This item requires an appeal of the decision of the Interim City Engineer be
reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission for a
recommendation, with City Council having final review. None of the homes
in the immediate area of Wendell Court have a second driveway. The
proposed second driveway at 333 Wendell Court would be approximately
45' feet apart. The request is somewhat unique due to an existing concrete
Background Information: slab/driveway, which does not include the approach or curb cut onto the
street.
The Engineering Department does not have any objection to the request,
given the uniqueness of the existing second driveway without the street

REQUEST: Request by Shawn Hoosman for an appeal of the Driveway Policy
prohibiting more than one curb-cut on a lot less than 100' in width to allow
for a second curb-cut from Wendell Court, located at 333 Wendell Court.
APPLICANT: Shawn Hoosman, 333 Wendell Court, Waterloo Iowa 50703
GENERAL The applicant is requesting to have a second curb-cut from Wendell Court
DESCRIPTION: in order to have access to an existing concrete slab/driveway on the
southern portion of the property.
IMPACT ON The request could have a negative impact upon the surrounding area, as
NEIGHBORHOOD & it could set precedence for other property owners with lots narrower than
SURROUNDING LAND 100' to have a second curb-cut.
USE:
VEHICULAR & The request could have a negative impact upon traffic conditions in the
PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC area, as it would be an additional curb-cut onto Wendell Court; however,
CONDITIONS: Wendell Court is a Local Street with low traffic volume. Muhammad Elahi
with Waterloo Traffic operations noted, the request can have a negative
effect on bicyclists. Bicycles are allowed on sidewalk. This residential area
has extensive and connected sidewalks. In residential neighborhoods
children could be expected to be riding their bicycles on sidewalk. The
new driveway will create an additional conflict point between bicyclists and
vehicles. Cars coming out of driveways normally look for traffic on street
and are less attentive to vehicles on sidewalk.
RELATIONSHIP TO There are no trails within the immediate are. However, there are
RECREATIONAL TRAIL sidewalks along Wendell Court and Quincy Street.
PLAN AND COMPLETE
STREETS POLICY:
ZONING HISTORY FOR The site and surrounding area are zoned "R-2" One and Two Family
SITE AND IMMEDIATE Residence District, and has been zoned as such since the adoption of the
VICINITY: Zoning Ordinance in 1969.
DEVELOPMENT The surrounding area comprises of single-family and two-family dwellings
HISTORY: and was mostly developed in the 1960s and early 1970s.
BUFFERS/ SCREENING No buffers or additional screening is needed with this request.
REQUIRED:
DRAINAGE: The construction of a new driveway curb cut would not appear to have a
negative impact on drainage in the area.
FLOODPLAIN: The property is Zone X - 500 year Floodplain (Protected by Levee) as
indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate
Map, Community Number 19013CO and Panel Number 189F, dated July
18, 2011.
PUBLIC/OPEN George Washington Carver Academy is located approximately% of a mile
SPACES/ SCHOOLS: to the north; Dr. Walter Cunningham School for Excellence (Elementary

2nd Curb-cut at 333 Wendell Court Page 1 of 3 Page 87 of 151
September 24,2018
UTILITIES: WATER, There is an 8" sanitary sewer and 10" storm sewer located within Wendell
SANITARY SEWER, Court; 8" sanitary sewer and 54" storm sewer located within Quincy
STORM SEWER, ETC Street, and 54" storm sewerjust north of the property in a 13" utility
easement.
RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this property and surrounding area
COMPREHENSIVE as Low Density Residential. Low Density Residential uses are defined as
LAND USE PLAN: residential uses that exist or are planned at a density of less than, or
equal to six housing units per acre. Residential density shall include
street and public uses when calculated for vacant or newly developing
areas. For situations of infill development, street and public use area
shall be excluded. This particular request is located within the Primary
Growth Area.
STAFF ANALYSIS — The applicant at 333 Wendell Court is requesting approval of a 2nd curb-
ZONING ORDINANCE: cut to allow for a second driveway access onto Wendell Court, which will
serve an existing concrete slab/driveway on the southern end of the
property. The property in question is an 80' wide lot, and currently has one
driveway having access to Wendell Court.
The City of Waterloo Driveway and sidewalk specifications, Section 13
required that a property have more than 100' of street frontage before it
can have a second curb-cut, and the Code of Ordinances Section 7-1-4
(g) requires that an appeal of the decision of the City Engineer be
reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission for a
recommendation, with City Council having final review. None of the
homes in the immediate area of Wendell Court have a second driveway.
The proposed second driveway at 333 Wendell Court would be
approximately 45' feet apart as well. The request is somewhat unique due
to an existing concrete slab/driveway.
The Engineering Department does not have any issues associated with
the request.
The Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting on
September 11, 2018 unanimously approved the request for the 2nd curb
cut with the condition that the engineering permit for the 2nd curb cut has
to be pulled in conjunction with the building permit for a garage at the
same location.
STAFF ANALYSIS — There is no platting required for this request.
SUBDIVISION
ORDINANCE:
STAFF Staff is aware of the possible negatives of"setting precedent" when
RECOMMENDATION: reviewing requests such as this. However, Wendell Court is classified as
a Local Street with what appears to have very low traffic counts which
would appear to minimize the likelihood of traffic incidences as a result of
allowing two driveways.
If the request is approved, it should be for the following reasons:
1. The request would not appear to have a negative impact on the
surrounding area.
2. The request would not appear to have a negative impact on traffic
in the surrounding area.
3. The request is somewhat unique due to the existing concrete
2nd Curb-cut at 333 Wendell Court Page 2 of 3 Page 8% of 151

slab/driveway being there.
If the request is denied it should be for the following reasons:
1. Approving the request would set precedence for other possible
requests in the future.

RE: Addendum for Westdale Subdivision Swale Desipl
Mr. Castle,
In response to the recluest'by city staff, I have obtained an estimate for Terracon to complete soil borings
in two locations for the Westdale Subdivision Swale project. Since these costs were not originally
inctuded in the total project cost, I request an addendum to this project to include the cost to complete soil
borings. These additional costs would modify the Westdale Subdivisioli Swale project contract as
follows:
Original Contract dated July 30, 2018 $10,340.00
Cost to complete two soil borings by Terracon L-300.00
Modified Contract Cost $18,640.00

MINUTES OF THE WATERLOO BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT REGULAR MEETING HELD
ON JULY 24, 2018 IN THE HAROLD E. GETTY COUNCIL CHAMBERS, CITY HALL
Chairperson Condon called the regular meeting of the Waterloo Board of Adjustment to order at
4:00 p.m. Board members in attendance were: Brad Condon, Jeri Thornsberry,John Beckman and
John Chiles. Absent: Sandy Goldsberry. Staff in attendance was: Chris Western.
I. Approval of the agenda July 24, 2018 agenda.
It was moved by Beckman and seconded by Chiles to approve the agenda as submitted. Motion
carried unanimously.
II. Approval of the Minutes of the Regular Meeting on, June 26, 2018.
It was moved by Beckman, seconded by Chiles to approve the minutes of the June 26, 2018
Regular Meeting as submitted. Motion carried unanimously.
III. Decision Items
1. Request by Signs and Design on behalf of United Methodist Church for a variance to the self-
illuminating/flashing parts sign regulations to allow for the installation of a 48 square foot
red-LED digital message center and a backlit side face with opaque background graphics into
an existing sign cabinet in an "R-3" Multiple Family Residence District located at 1207
Kimball Avenue.
Western gave staff report. Mason Fromm from Signs and Designs explained that the sign that
will be installed has an on board photo cell that will automatically dim the sign in the
evenings and during overcast days. Chairman Brad Condon asked if the current sign is on 24
hours a day. From stated that the existing sign is on a timer that should turn the sign off at 10
p.m. Condon asked if the applicant is in support of having the sign turn off by 9 p.m. Fromm
stated that he would leave that up to the applicant and the neighbor at 117 Byron Avenue
who is opposed to the new digital sign to work out or the board could make it a condition of
the decision made. Beckman questioned exactly how the sign would look. Michael Henning
who attends the church spoke in favor of the sign stating that the existing sign is very old
and is beginning to look"tacky" and is beyond its useful life and that the existing timers that
run the lights and signs are so old they tend to turn on and off at will. Henning went on to say
that the Trustees Board specifically chose a sign that would not have excessive flashing so as
to not cause confusion for traffic or annoy nearby neighbors.Also,that there are several
similar signs along Kimball Avenue that have existed for years and have not caused any
problems. Chairman Condon asked Fromm if it would be acceptable if the Board put
restrictions limiting the night time hours for the sign like they did for the Brethern Lutheran
Church that was previously approved by the Board. Fromm stated that yes in fact the Board
limited the rate of change for messages displayed on that particular sign and that the
proposed sign is the same as the one at Brethren Lutheran Church. Beckman asked if the sign
was going to be multi colored or just red. Fromm stated that it would be red only.
Thornsberry asked for clarification on how the photo cell worked. Thornsberry requested to
speak with a church representative about timer parameters. Rev. Karen Larsen explained
that she called several nearby churches to find out what the hours of operation were for
their digital signs and it appears that all of them are programed to turn off at 10 p.m. Rev.
Larsen went on to say that the intention was to have the sign shut off at 10 p.m. Ted Schaffer
a neighbor opposed to the digital sign stated that he doesn't mind the church having a sign
but is concerned that the proposed red digital sign would be too bright and would prevent
Page 128 of 151
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
July 24,2018 Minutes
him from enjoying his deck in the evenings. Also, if the sign is approved he would like to see
the board restricted the evening hours to 9 p.m. Chiles asked Schaffer to better explain his
opposition to the request. Schaffer stated that he was concerned that the new sign will be
much brighter as it will be red LED lighting. Beckman asked how long the existing sign had
been in place and if the sign caused him any issues over the years. Schaffer stated that he did
not like the sign but felt that he could not do anything about the sign since it was there when
he first bought the house and that he didn't have a deck until 14 years ago. Condon stated
that he is concerned that putting time limits on sign requests that we may be getting to
precise but that the decision is up to the board. Beckman commented that he hoped that the
two parties can come to an agreement as the sign appears to be fairly basic and has the
ability to reduce the amount of light based on the conditions. Thornsberry made a motion to
approve the request. Chiles asked for more discussion pointing out that he had an issue with
the staff report which states that the sign has existed without complaint is inaccurate as
there is a complaint from the neighbor. Chiles went on to state that the sign does need to be
replaced but would feel more comfortable if the two parties had an agreement worked out
prior to the meeting.Western reiterated that the existing sign has a large area of backlight
signage that is bright white and that the new sign would just be three lines of text which
would most likely be less light overall. Chiles asked Fromm if it would be less light. Fromm
stated that it may not be less intensity but much less square footage of light that you have
with the existing florescent backlit sign and that the sign is 220' away from Schaffer's deck
and that the sign is design to be viewed from 50' to 100'. Chiles reiterated that he would
really like to see the church and Schaffer could talk and find a compromise. Condon
recommended removing#1 and #2 reasons from the staff report as reasons for approval,
and Chiles agreed. Chiles then made a friendly amendment removing#1 and the wording in
#2 "without complaint".
It was moved by Thornsberry, seconded by Beckman to approve the request by Signs and
Design on behalf of United Methodist Church for a variance to the self-
illuminating/flashing parts sign regulations to allow for the installation of a 48 square
foot red-LED digital message center and a backlit side face with opaque background
graphics into an existing sign cabinet in an "R-3"Multiple Family Residence District
located at 1207 Kimball Avenue. Chiles proposed a friendly amendment to remove Chiles
then made a friendly amendment removing#1 reason for approval and the wording in
#2 "without complaint"within the staff report as the reason for approval. Motion
Carried unanimously.
Discussion
IV. Adjournment
It was moved by Beckman,seconded by Chiles, to adjourn the meeting at 4:52 p.m. Motion carried
unanimously.

June 19, 2018 regular meetings as amended. Motion carried unanimously.
Hearings
Request for a Certificate of Economic Hardship to demolish a home at 5643 Kimball
Avenue.
Dornoff read the staff report noting the home is an "A"property and when surveyed in 1994 was
considered a very rare example of architecture.
Jaacks was concerned that if the commission approved the demolishing it would be setting
precedence and the commission would have a difficult saying no in the future. The School
District needs to follow the ordinance and create a preservation plan for the building.
Stevens agreed that she does not want to see a precedence set that supports the demolition of a
unique building.
Miller stated that it is a nice looking home.
Price stated that she has grandchildren that attend Orange and at the present time the school has
no need for that land. The school should see if one of the neighboring property owners want the
building or even make it part of the new Anderson development.
Motion made by Jaacks seconded by Miller to deny the request for a Certificate of Economic
Hardship and that Waterloo Community Schools needs to work with the Commission to create
a preservation plan for the building. Motion carried unanimously.
