115015 - Getty/Jordan
that proof of publication of notice of public hearing on request of Lockard
Development to rezone from "A-1" Agricultural District to "C-2" Commercial
District property generally located at the northwest corner of Hammond Avenue
and San Marnan Drive, as published in the Waterloo Courier on March 28, 2001,
be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
115016 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written
and oral objections and there were none.
Tom Salkeld, 825 E. San Marnan Drive, stated that he was speaking for the
neighborhood to the west of the rezoning request. Mr. Salkeld submitted a
petition containing 219 signatures of residents living within the immediate
area, including San Marnan access road, Sonya Drive, and Tami Terrace. Mr.
Salkeld stated that he went to 37 homes and the 33 residents at home at the
time signed the petitions. Mr. Salkeld reported that the petition states that
the petitioners believe the development will exacerbate the already congested
and dangerous traffic conditions at the intersection and decrease property
values for the homes in the area. Mr. Salkeld stated he was surprised the
rezoning request was before the council tonight. The request went through two
Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission meetings. Mr. Salkeld stated that
the traffic study was faxed the day of the PPZ hearing, and the report from
Parsons was incomplete. The report from Parsons indicated the intersection is
currently at Level C and with new development would go to Level D. Mr. Salkeld
stated that Parsons report did not address the San Marnan frontage road, and
they projected a 21 percent increase in traffic from 1996 to 2005. Parsons
report indicated that raising the intersection to Level D would be an
acceptable level. Mr. Salkeld reported that the Planning, Programming and
Zoning Commission had many concerns regarding the traffic and the fabric of the
community, but they still made the decision to recommend approval of the
rezoning request.
Mr. Salkeld stated that he spoke with Realtors, and their informal opinion was
that the rezoning request would unlikely impact the property. Mr. Salkeld
stated he realizes that the city's long-range plan for this area is Planned
Commercial, but the residents do not see the logic or desirability of that
plan. Mr. Salkeld commented that Hammond Avenue acts as a separation of
commercial from residential. Mr. Salkeld stated that Parsons did not focus on
the traffic during the noon hour when traffic is pretty bad in this area. Mr.
Salkeld stated that the report showed the amount of delays ranged from seconds
to 45 seconds, and the residents feel that a lot of times the wait is longer

than those times. Mr. Salkeld stated that he found out from the Police
Department that there were three accidents at this intersection in 1995, and
one death a year ago. Mr. Salkeld stated that both traffic studies talk about
acceptable level of service, and he asked the council to ask the residents who
deal with the traffic day in and day out if this is an acceptable level of
service. Mr. Salkeld suggested that the corner be zoned "R-4", which would be
more acceptable to the residents with the appearance of the building and volume
of traffic. Mr. Salkeld asked the council to reject this rezoning request and
wait for a "R-4" rezoning request.
Ken Lockard, of Lockard Development, stated that he would be glad to table his
request as he is not that happy with Parsons report. Mr. Lockard stated he
would like to meet with the residents at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday to go over the
numbers. Mr. Lockard asked Mayor Rooff and Council Members to look at the
traffic study.
Councilperson Anders asked if there was this level of opposition at the
Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission meetings. Mr. Salkeld responded
that yes there was a lot of opposition at those meetings. Mr. Salkeld stated
that technically they are out of the 250' radius and did not know of the
February PPZ meeting, but they were notified of the March meeting and spoke in
opposition to Lockard's zoning request.
Eric Thorson, City Engineer, stated that Parsons preliminary study showed some
slip ramps between Hammond and Kimball Avenues.
Tom Noonan, Wayne Claassen Engineering and Surveying, Inc., stated that part of
the 1996 study's recommendation was for several improvements, such as slip
ramps and additional turning lanes. Mr. Noonan stated that Parsons analysis of
the intersection showed the level of service would be B or C with or without
residents. Level A represents optimum conditions for a driver, Level C is a
design goal for new construction and Level D is an acceptable level and a
common occurrence in the city. Mr. Noonan reviewed the traffic study.
Councilperson Gronen asked if the restaurant were allowed what would go in on
the adjacent lot and how much traffic would be added. Councilperson Gronen
stated that it was estimated there would be a 21 percent increase in traffic.
