HEARINGS 114400 - Jordan/Getty that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on the proposed Downtown Riverfront Redevelopment Master Plan, as published in the Waterloo Courier on September 29, 2000, be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 114401 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral objections. John Rathjen, President of Waterloo Chamber of Commerce, stated that he was speaking on behalf of the Chamber. While the Chamber is not opposed to the Vandewalle Plan on improving downtown, the Chamber is not and has not been involved or shared in the preparation of the plan and has not had an opportunity to review the project. The information the Chamber presently is briefings and newspaper articles which did not afford the Chamber an opportunity to review or get any of the details or for that matter the master part of the plan as to what will occur and where it will occur and the cost associated with the plan. Mr. Rathjen stated that the Chamber was advised that they would have a seat on the council for the project, and this has not happened. The Chamber was also advised that they would have an opportunity to meet with the Vandewalle Group in a session at which time the Chamber could review and suggest as well as determine and assess the costs and benefits. Mr. Rathjen stated that the Chamber represents 1,200 local businesses, and they feel the success of any project of this nature depends on the support it receives from the business community. Mr. Rathjen stated that they feel a project of this nature should be subject to town hall type meetings where the public at large can be apprised of the progress and have an opportunity to review and question prior to executing this without public input. Mr. Rathjen asked that the council table this until there has been an opportunity for further review. Terry Poe Buschkamp, Director of Main Street Waterloo, stated that the concept has been addressed three separate times. Ms. Buschkamp thanked the mayor and council and stated she looks forward to moving ahead. Donna Nelson, 514 Columbia, stated that she thinks the concept is wonderful, but she has a problem with the council voting on this tonight when no one knows what is going on. Ms. Nelson stated that she received many calls from businesses wanting to know how this will affect them. Ms. Nelson stated she is also concerned about historic preservation and asked if we are going to demolish 14 to 16 blocks of downtown. Ms. Nelson stated that she is hesitate to get into an argument because she knows the city is going for Vision Iowa funding. Ms. Nelson stated she feels she is a large stockholder in the downtown and should be informed. Ms. Nelson stated she has invested a lot of money in the downtown, and she needs to know what is going on. October 9, 2000 Page 2 HEARINGS CONTINUED Todd Hoppe, an employee of Wonder Bread/Hostess Bakery and chairman of the union representing bakery employees, stated that they have heard a lot of rumors and things are being said. Mr. Hoppe stated that they are in the middle of contract talks, and they need more information for the people who are working there. Carl Adrian, President of the Cedar Valley Economic Development Corporation, stated that he has heard over the past three years from employers unable to attract employees into the community. Mr. Adrian stated that the labor market is tight over the Midwest. One of the factors in the downtown of a community is to make it exciting for people to come to. Mr. Adrian stated that he thinks this is a positive step to change the image of the downtown and of the city. Mr. Adrian stated that we need to attract new employers to the community. Robert Molinaro, 3545 Augusta Circle, stated that he was at the initial meeting, and the recommendation was to go down river rather than upriver. Mr. Molinaro stated that he does not believe there was enough input in the plan, and that he finds it offensive that meetings were held in closed sessions. Mr. Molinaro suggested that the council table the item and hold public meetings. Mr. Molinaro stated that the $100 million will come from bonding and taxes not just the grant. Mayor Rooff stated that this process was not driven by the city council. We appointed the Vandewalle firm to do an initial study. Mayor Rooff commented that it was a major step when John Deere, IBP, Bertch Cabinets and others were seated to discuss this plan. Those meetings are being held by private enterprise, not the government. Mayor Rooff stated that the intent of the plan was to do what has been suggested, and there will be public input. Mayor Rooff stated that the plan was brought to the city council to adopt the concept, and there will be no final decision made before further input. The adoption of the plan is to get the plan into the community. Mayor Rooff stated we have for the first time UNI and all major corporation sitting at the same table. Mayor Rooff stated that John Deere has made it clear that 3,000 to 5,000 jobs are at stake. Mayor Rooff stated that we will provide housing and technical education, a good airport that has jet aircraft and livability standards. Mayor Rooff commented we don't know if we can afford it as we don't have final figures. This resolution is to give overall support. Mr. Molinaro asked the council to change the resolution to adopt the general concept and to move forward. Mr. Molinaro stated he is not opposed to the concept. Mayor Rooff stated that everyone will be called upon to help, and that this plan fits in with the Millennium Plan. Mayor Rooff stated that we have to have a piece of vision formula within two months to request funding. Mayor Rooff stated it will take Vision Iowa funds, transit funds and local funding, and we need support from the whole Cedar Valley. Ms. Buschkamp stated that prior to 1997 there were four organizations, and it was a lengthy process to go to Main Street, and now we are adding another committee. Jordan/Murphy that the hearing be closed and recommendation of approval of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, Main Street Waterloo and Waterloo Development Corporation and oral and written comments be received and placed on file. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Anders stated that he was not comfortable with the wording of the resolution and asked if the council could change the wording. Councilperson Getty stated that he has a problem with all the meetings being held and the people involved in the downtown were not informed of the meetings or weren't invited to attend. Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that there have been public meetings with the council and at the Cultural & Arts Center, and development groups and the Main Street Board were invited, and there have been two front page articles in the Courier. Mr. Rathjen stated that the Chamber has not been involved or invited to meetings. Mr. Rathjen stated that organizations like the Chamber should have been involved. October 9, 2000 • HEARINGS CONTINUED Mayor Rooff commented that we will personally take this on the road. Page 3 Following discussion a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 114402 - Getty/Jordan that "Resolution adopting the concept of the master plan", be adopted and the plan be forwarded for broad public input and town meetings. Prior to a vote on the above motion the following comments were heard. Ms. Nelson stated that she feels it is wonderful that all these people are involved, but what about people downtown who have a stake in this. Mr. Hoppe stated that the bakery employees are workers in the downtown, its their livelihood with good wages and benefits. Mr. Temeyer stated that the Waterloo Development Corporation has had some conversation with the bakery, but we don't want to displace anyone. Mr. Rathjen stated that what is causing some level of confusion is the city contacted some of the property owners. Mr. Rathjen stated that the belief is that this plan is well underway and decisions already made. Following discussion a vote was taken with the following result. Ayes: Seven.

October 9, 2000 DOCUMENTS CONTINUED Page 6 114423 - Anders/Murphy that communication from Assistant City Planner transmitting Preliminary Plat of Pine Meadows Addition, together with letter from Engineering Department and staff report to the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, be received, place on file and "Resolution approving said Preliminary Plat", be adopted. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Getty asked if this development will cause extra strain on the sanitary sewer and storm sewer in the area. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, stated that the sanitary sewer flowing from the six lots will be minimal, if any, and that the drain tiles will not go into the sanitary sewer. Mr. Thorson stated that the storm water flow has been worked on by their consultant and it shows little storm water. Mr. Thorson stated that they are working on a plan that they will meet the specifications of a subdivision. Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that there is a big difference in their request this time. Before they wanted a common stable, and this time there are six lots and horses, but according to the zoning ordinance they cannot stable other horses. Mr. Temeyer stated if they wanted to have a common stable they would have to rezone the property, and they cannot reapply for four months. In answer to a question, Mr. Temeyer stated that a preliminary plat is required by the city's ordinance. The plat is filed with the County Assessor and County Auditor. Iowa Code requires that we have preliminary subdivision plats. Mr. Temeyer stated that we require them to meet city standards. After everyone has looked at the preliminary plat, they file the final plat and it is approved and recorded. They also file construction plans, which are approved by the city council. Mayor Rooff stated that the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission approved one common stable, and the city council voted it down. Mayor Rooff stated that the ordinance allows them to subdivide and have their own horses. Mayor Rooff stated that there was discussion to change the ordinance which the city has not done yet. Mr. Temeyer stated that the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission discussed at length how to treat this request. Sang -Ki Han, Assistant City Attorney, told them that the LeComptes already have standing because they have filed their request. Jim Walsh, City Attorney, stated that if you deny people use of their land, and turn down the development because of the horses could create legal problems for the city. Mr. Walsh stated if we deny this request it must be for some reason we can articulate. Councilperson Jordan stated that we really want to see development, but he is concerned we are sending a message that we support the horses. Councilperson Jordan stated that the neighbors were there first. Dennis Jost, Westbourne Terrace, stated that the main concern is they don't think this is an appropriate use of the property. This is a residential area with homes and now we are going to allow this in a residential area. Mr. Jones stated that they always have water runoff problems in this area, and it is hard to say what additional runoff this will cause. Mayor Rooff stated that the city would not allow this without solving water runoff and sanitary and storm sewer. Ed Knowles, 221 Westbourne, stated that he is concerned with health problems with runoff and who will be responsible. Mr. Temeyer stated that Black Hawk County Health has looked at this, and if there were a problem or health hazard, Black Hawk County would address it as a health problem. Councilperson Anders stated that the horses will be confined, quite a bit of manure will be transported out, and the common pen will be in a grassy area. • October 9, 2000 • • DOCUMENTS CONTINUED Page 7 Bill Claassen, stated that Tract B is where they propose to have pasture area. Mr. Claassen stated that the runoff goes through the lots they are developing first before it gets to the street. Mr. Claassen stated that no detention area is being proposed at this time. The water is directed to the storm sewer and routed so it goes to the street. Property in the area will be affected just as it is now. It will be the same area as before, with very little effect on the storm system, less than 2 percent. Mr. Claassen stated that the LeComptes are proposing six lots, and a private extension of the existing local street, with a proposed public north cul-de-sac. A resident stated that when there is a bad storm, Westbourne and Farrington have water running over the curb. His concern is the storm sewer system will not handle runoff unless they do something major with the storm sewer. A resident at the corner of Westbourne and Tillman stated that when there is a hard rain, they have water in their driveways and up to the curb. She stated they should not abuse the residents by adding more housing. She stated she thinks they should have a large sewer, and she does not feel horses belong in residential areas. Bob Miller, 203 Westbourne, stated the main problem is the water coming down, and he suggested that they put in a small holding basin. Eric Johnson, 846 Sunrise Boulevard, stated that he doesn't think this development will add to the water problem. Mr. Johnson stated that Tract C is designated for a drainage easement if the city wants to add a detention area. Mr. Johnson stated that this development takes care of the needs the city talks about. This adds housing and a tax base and complies with the zoning ordinance. Mr. Johnson stated that at the first Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission hearing 20 people showed up and asked not to change the zoning ordinance. Mr. Johnson stated this plat complies with all the requirements of the zoning ordinance. Councilperson Krizek asked if discussion of a retention area would help. Mr. Thorson stated that a retention area could certainly help. Mr. Thorson stated that the storm sewers are designed to hold an amount of water, and that we would need to do an analysis to see if that would help. Councilperson Gronen stated that all the discussion tonight is concerned with water runoff. Councilperson Gronen stated that he thinks we should ask would we rather have six homes or a development with 20 or more homes. Councilperson Berry stated that she agrees with Councilperson Krizek that we should look at a retention pond because she believes there is a problem. Mayor Rooff stated that we could make it part of the preliminary plat that our engineer works with their engineer. Councilperson Jordan asked if we could get assurance that urine would not run into the street. Krizek/Murphy that the above motion be amended that the engineers work together to determine if it is feasible to have a detention pond. Ayes: Six. Nays: Jordan. Motion carried. Mr. Johnson asked who would pay, and they assume it would be the city. They don't want this to hold up preliminary plat. Following discussion a vote was taken on the original motion with the amendment with the following result. Ayes: Six. Nays: Jordan. Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 2000-569.
