Trelka, Director of Safety Services Recommended City Council Action: Approve Leukemia&Lymphoma Society's BOOT BLOCKfundraiser on Saturday April 16, 2011 (raindate of May 7, 2011) Summary Statement: Tracey Southall is requesting a "Boot Block" fundraiser on Saturday April 16, 2011 from g:oo a.m. to 2:00 p.m. The Boot Block will be held at the 4-way intersection of Ridgeway Avenue and Hammond Avenue, Waterloo Expenditure Required: none: extra attention will be given to the area Source of Funds: none Policy Issue Alternative Background Information: Cc: Fire Rescue Captain Joe Leibold, Police Department Sandie Greco,Traffic Operations Steve Decker,Street Department March 16, 2011 Dear Captain Daniel Trelka, I am writing this letter to request permission from the Waterloo Police Department and the City of Waterloo to host a"Boot Block" fundraiser on Saturday, April 16th with Saturday, May 7th as a rain date. The Boot Block would be held on the 4-way intersection of Ridgeway Ave. and Hammond Ave. in Waterloo. The fundraiser would take place from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm and volunteers from The Leukemia&Lymphoma Society would position themselves at the 4-way stop signs to accept donations from the public. All money solicited will be donated to The Leukemia& Lymphoma Society—Eastern Iowa Chapter. The money solicited will benefit patients in the Waterloo area by providing them with assistance with some of the cost related to having a blood-related cancer diagnosis and provides assistance with transportation and treatment related expenses. Patients are eligible for the patient financial aid program based on the factor that they have a blood-related cancer diagnosis. Each patient can receive up to $500.00 per year. Last year in the pouring rain during our boot block we raised $1333.65 that helped 3 local patients ease the financial burden that is associated with having a blood-related cancer. The Iowa Chapter paid over $73,200 in financial aid to Iowa patients in fiscal year 2010 and expects to pay over$75,000 for financial assistance in fiscal year 2011. Additional money was also dispersed in the year of 2010 for support groups and research. I was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in December of 2000 and thanks to research and financial assistance that The Eastern Iowa Chapter provided I successfully completed my treatments and have been in remission for 10 years. If you have questions or concerns, I will be serving as the contact person for this event and may be contacted by calling (319) 939-0503. I may also be reached via e-mail at: tsouthal112@mchsi.com. Thank you so much for your time and support with this endeavor!

The property at 245 Fletcher Avenue is the former Red's CB and Sound Room, which has recently closed. The site in RON question is zoned as "R-2,C-Z" and"C-2,C-Z",which allowed for the construction Ward s WELR of the commercial facility in 1987 to be used as an electronics store with necessary storage. Due to the property being conditionally zoned to allow for the electronics BOB store use, the ability to establish a new commercial venture upon the site is limited GREENWOOD to that use. Also,the storage building to the southeast of the main building at 245 At-Large Fletcher Avenue is also conditionally zoned to allow the use of that site to be for STEVE storage and electronics installation related to the business at 245 Fletcher Avenue. SCHMITT The property would need to be rezone d,P Y and the condition s amended to allow for At-Large other lighter commercial uses the ability to locate at this location. Conditions placed upon of those rezones were they were be constructed in accordance with the parking and landscaping ordinance regulations, and that any development upon that site is effectively screened from the abutting residential properties to the east on Joder Avenue and Black Hawk Road. It would appear that appropriate screening of both developments may not have been completed. Any new commercial use upon the property needs to insure that it is properly and effectively screened by either landscaping or solid fencing from the residential properties to the east, and provides adequate parking. Staff did receive calls from manynearbyresiden ts questioning why q g the applicant is rezoning the land, and what types of uses can locate within the building. CITY WEBSITE: www.ci.waterloo.ia.us - WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU' \wares oo) An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer f,. Many nearby residents noted that they do not want to see a bar or liquor store moving into the site, and some residents noted that they would not like to see an automobile dealership moving into the site, noting they can sometimes be unsightly. Also, all the residents that called noted that they have alley access to their garages behind their properties, and at times, delivery trucks going to Red's CB used the alley, sometimes creating ruts in the alley, as well as noting that the alley is very narrow, and a tight 90 degree turn in the alley makes it difficult for some trucks to maneuver through. Staff is looking at the possibility of restricting truck access to the site from either the entrance off of Joder Drive, or from the alley that accesses the cul-de-sac from the end of Black Hawk Road At their February 1,2011 meeting,the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the rezone request, subject to the following conditions: 1. That uses permitted in the "C-I" Commercial District are allowed upon the site, and that uses permitted in the "C-2" Commercial District are allowed upon the site, except the following: a) That no adult uses as defined by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance are permitted upon the site. b) That the sale of beer, wine, liquor or other alcoholic beverages upon the site are not allowed. c) That the sale or repair of automobiles,trailers and farm implement equipment upon the site is not allowed. 2. That if a car wash or gas station locates upon the site,there are no automatic dryers, and all lighting for any use shall be diverted away from the surrounding residential uses. 3. That proper screening of either landscaping plantings that make an effective visual barrier, or a solid fence of at least 6' in height be installed along the abutting residential properties to the east. 4. That the alley located between Joder Avenue and Black Hawk Road be restricted to prohibit its use by large trucks to and from the site by means of posting a"No Trucks" sign at the 2 entrance points of the alley. Please find attached a staff report, aerial photo, and legal description, detailing the area in question. Therefore,we request the City Council set a date of public hearing on the rezoning request as February 28,2011, and publish an official notice pertinent to the requested rezoning. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office. Expenditure Required: None Source of Funds:N/A Policy Issue: Land Use Alternative: N/A Background Information: AS:to cc: Noel Anderson,Community Planning and Development Director Eric Thorson,City Engineer Sandie Greco,Traffic Operations Superintendent --file-- February 1,2011 REQUEST: Request to rezone approximately 0.845 acres of land from "R-2, C- Z" Conditional Zoning District and "C-2,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District to "C-1,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District. APPLICANT: Lavern Droste, 2342 Country Lane Waterloo, IA 50701 GENERAL The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 245 Fletcher DESCRIPTION: Avenue to allow for the redevelopment of the site. Currently, the site is zoned as "R-2,C-Z" and "C-2,C-Z", which allowed for the construction of a new commercial facility to be used as an electronics store with necessary storage. Due to the property being conditionally zoned to allow for the electronics store use, the ability to establish a new commercial venture upon the site is limited to that use. Also, the storage building to the southeast of the main building at 245 Fletcher Avenue is also conditionally zoned to allow the use of that site to be for storage and electronics installation related to the business at 245 Fletcher Avenue. The property would need to be rezoned, and the conditions amended to allow for other lighter commercial uses the ability to locate at this location. IMPACT ON It would appear that the rezone would not have a negative impact NEIGHBORHOOD & upon the surrounding area, as uses within the "C-1" Commercial SURROUNDING District are geared towards neighborhood developments, thus being LAND USE: more compatible to nearby residential development. The conditions to the zoning will prohibit commercial uses that would potentially have a negative impact on the area. VEHICULAR & The proposed rezone area fronts up to Fletcher Avenue, which is PEDESTRIAN classified as a Minor Arterial, and Joder Avenue and Black Hawk TRAFFIC Road, which are classified as Local Streets. University Avenue CONDITIONS: borders the property along the south edge, and is classified as a Principal Arterial. It would appear that the rezone would not have a negative impact on traffic and pedestrian conditions in the area, as a new light commercial use would appear similar to the existing electronics store that is there. Conditions of the approval may need to be considered to limit or restrict access to the site via the alley between Black Hawk Road and Joder Avenue. There are no pedestrian sidewalks located within the surrounding area, however, the future University Avenue Improvements Project will look to potentially reduce the road from 6-lanes to 4-lanes, and add pedestrian trails along the roadway. RELATIONSHIP TO The Sergeant Road Recreational Trail is located approximately a '/z RECREATIONAL mile to the east of the site in question at the intersection of TRAIL PLAN: University Avenue and Highway 63. ZONING HISTORY The buildings located at 245 Fletcher Avenue were rezoned from FOR SITE AND "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to "R-2,C-Z" IMMEDIATE VICINITY: Conditional Zoning District on October 7, 1987. Conditions were placed on that rezone request that limited development of that site as an electronics store with service and installation areas, a hard surfaced parking area for a minimum of 10 vehicles, and that the east property line be screened from adjoining property with shrubs 2.1.11 Rezone R2CZ and C2CZ to C1 CZ, Page 1 of 5 February 1,2011 and/or fence. Also, in 1999, the applicant constructed a new storage building for the business to the southeast of the main building at 245 Fletcher Avenue at the end Black Hawk Road near its cul-de- sac. That property was rezoned from "R-2" to "C-2,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District. Conditions placed upon that rezone were the development be constructed in accordance with the parking and landscaping ordinance regulations, and that any development upon that site is effectively screened from the abutting residential properties to the east. It would appear that appropriate screening of both developments may not have been completed. Surrounding land uses and their zoning are as follows: North — One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. South University Avenue and Katoski Greenbelt, Hope Martin Park, zoned "A-1"Agricultural District. East— One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. West— Commercial development (Papa John's) and strip mall, zoned "C-2" Commercial District. DEVELOPMENT The surrounding area consists of commercial and residential uses HISTORY: at the intersection of University Avenue and Fletcher Avenue. The commercial area where Papa John's Restaurant is located was constructed in 1980. Residential homes are located to the north and east of the rezone area, with many of those homes being developed in the 1930s and 1940s. BUFFERS/ SCREENING Rezoning of the land in question will require that any commercial REQUIRED: use located upon the property is effectively screened either by landscaping or solid fence to diminish any impact upon the surrounding residential area. DRAINAGE: Rezoning of the land would not have a negative impact upon the surrounding area. No additional buildings are proposed as a part of this rezone request. FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is located within the Zone-B, 500-year floodplain as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0012, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN Edison Elementary School is located approximately a '/ mile to the SPACES/ SCHOOLS: north and west at the intersection of Falls Avenue and Magnolia Parkway. Hope Martin Park and the Katoski Greenbelt are located directly south of the area in question along Black Hawk Creek. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, 8" sanitary sewer is located within Joder Avenue to the north and STORM SEWER, ETC. within Fletcher Avenue to the west. A 10" sanitary sewer line parallels the front property line of 245 Fletcher Avenue, along with a 48" storm sewer. A 21" sanitary sewer line is located within Black 2.1.11 Rezone R2CZ and C2CZ to C1 CZ Page 2 of 5 February 1,2011 Hawk Road to the south and east of the site in question. The surrounding area is also served by other utilities such as water, telephone, gas, cable, etc. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Mixed COMPREHENSIVE Residential, which allows for Low, Medium to High Density LAND USE PLAN: Residential; Professional Offices and Neighborhood Commercial. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 0.845 acres of land ZONING located near northeast corner of Fletcher and University Avenues. ORDINANCE: The applicant is currently in the process of trying to sell their building at 245 Fletcher Avenue. When the land at 245 Fletcher was rezoned to a Conditional Zoning District in 1987, the property was limited to only allow for use of the property as an electronics store, with incidental installation of sound equipment in customer's vehicles upon the site. In 1999, the current property owner constructed a 2,592 SF building to the southeast of the main building at the end of Black Hawk Road. That particular property was rezoned from "C-2" to "C-2,C-Z", which allowed the new building to be used as storage and installation of stereo equipment related to the business at 245 Fletcher. As the land is currently zoned, it is limited to the use of the property as an electronics business with related incidental uses. Essentially, rezoning of the property to "C-1,C-Z" would amend the previous conditions set in place, by allowing for additional light commercial uses upon the site. Staff has received numerous calls from surrounding residents questioning why the applicant is rezoning the land, and what types of uses can locate within the building. Many nearby residents noted that they do not want to see a bar or liquor store moving into the site, and some residents noted that they would not like to see an automobile dealership moving into the site, noting they can sometimes be unsightly. It would appear that access to the site is very limited, as no direct access is obtained from University Avenue, and only motorist traveling north on Fletcher Avenue can turn right onto Joder Avenue to get to the property. A left hand turn from Fletcher Avenue onto Joder Avenue is restricted, due to a median in the middle of Fletcher Avenue. Due to the limited access to the site, it would appear that a high intensity commercial use at this location would not be the best overall use of the property, and a lighter commercial use that does not depend on a good access for its operations would appear to work better. Staff suggests that uses permitted in the "C-1" Commercial District be allowed at the site, including a car wash or gas station, subject to a car wash not having an automatic dryer, and all lights for any use to be diverted from surrounding residential properties. Staff also suggests that uses permitted in the "C-2" also be allowed, with the exception that adult uses as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, the sale of beer or alcoholic beverages upon the premises, outside storage and automobile sales should not be 2.1.11 Rezone R2CZ and C2CZ to C1CZ Page 3 of 5 • February 1,2011 allowed at this location. Also, any new commercial use upon the property needs to insure that it is properly and effectively screened by either landscaping or solid fencing from the residential properties to the east, and provides adequate parking. All the residents that called noted that they have alley access to their garages behind their properties, and at times, delivery trucks going to Red's CB used the alley, sometimes creating ruts in the alley, as well as noting that the alley is very narrow, and a tight 90 degree turn in the alley makes it difficult for some trucks to maneuver through. Staff is looking at the possibility of restricting truck access to the site from either the entrance off of Joder Drive, or from the alley that accesses the cul-de-sac from the end of Black Hawk Road to alleviate any wear and tear upon the alley and ease concerns of the surrounding neighbors. However, the effectiveness and enforceability of such a restriction on truck access has been questioned. Alternatively, staff would suggest to vacate the portion of alley that abuts the rear portion of their property and close off the end of the alley with a fence so that delivery trucks will be required to access the site from either Joder Avenue or Black Hawk Road, which would create a dead-end alley. Staff has discussed the possibility of vacating the alley with the Street Department, and they noted that they do not have an issue with doing so, as maintenance of the alley is only done on a call by call basis, and a front loader could be used to maintain the alley instead of a road grader, which would not require a turn-around at the end of the alley. If the alley is vacated, it may want to be discussed with the State to see if they would possibly sell some of their property they own directly to the south of the main building to the property owner. The commercial development at 245 Fletcher Avenue serves as a buffer between commercial uses at the northwest corner of University and Fletcher Avenues and the residential uses to the east, and staff believes that if the primary function of the site is a low intensity neighborhood friendly commercial use that adheres to the suggested conditions by staff, a new commercial use at this location would not be detrimental to the surrounding neighborhood. STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request. ORDINANCE: STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R- RECOMMENDATION: 2,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District and "C-2,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District to "C-1,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The proposed rezone area is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, which designates this area as Mixed Residential, which allows for Low, Medium to High Density Residential; Professional Offices and Neighborhood Commercial. 2.1.11 Rezone R2CZ and C2CZ to C1CZ Page 4 of 5 February 1,2011 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The proposed rezone would allow the property owner to market the building for multiple uses, and thus filling a currently vacant commercial building. And subject to the following condition(s): 1. That uses permitted in the C-1 Commercial District are allowed upon the site, and that uses permitted in the "C-2" Commercial District are allowed upon the site, except the following: a) That no adult uses as defined by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance are permitted upon the site. b) That the sale of beer, wine, liquor or other alcoholic beverages upon the site are not allowed. c) That the sale or repair of automobiles, trailers and farm implement equipment upon the site is not allowed. 2. That if a car wash or gas station locates upon the site, there are no automatic dryers, and all lighting for any use shall be diverted away from the surrounding residential uses. 3. That proper screening of either landscaping plantings that make an effective visual barrier, or a solid fence of at least 6' in height be installed along the abutting residential properties to the east. 4. That the alley located between Joder Avenue and Black Hawk Road be restricted to prohibit its use by large trucks to and from the site by means of posting a "No Trucks" sign at the 2 entrance points of the alley. 2.1.11 Rezone R2CZ and C2CZ to C1CZ Page 5 of 5 ./ . it ,-- 11 Rezone request from "R-2,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District and 4 _ _; i ,' "C-2, C-Z" Conditional Zoning District to "C-1 ,C-Z" Conditional -" [Z _ Zoning District at 245 Fletcher Avenue =� / s r - ` fit a Janney Avenue �# r F �v -R-2 i ay • s �e Q _ F _ x - - ate a j ( '1 a= � _ Li' 4_ E 4 '_ -M �i{,f �t --- '- AFT _ :I \ - .r.,.. _ _ --,. _ ,-,x•- 6 y ,.-; i. t- -,-„ ,.

Ward 2 HAROLD Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director GETTY Ward 3 Recommended City Council Action: Approval, with conditions as recommended QUENTIN by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission. HART Ward 4 Summary Statement: Transmitted herewith is a request to rezone approximately 7.73 acres from "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District and "R-2,C-Z" RON Conditional Zoning District to "R-1,R-P"Planned Residence District, located at WEEPER the former Greenbrier School site at 1554 Oakwood Drive at the northwest corner Ward 5 of Oakwood Drive and Cedar Bend Street. The City is requesting to rezone the BOB property at 1554 Oakwood Drive to allow for future one and two family GREENWOOD development at the site. Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District At-Large will help to redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. STEVE Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin home development. scHMITT In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be At-Large highly important to ensure the development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative impact on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses. The proposed rezoning of this site is as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is CITY WEBSITE: www.ci.waterbo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate,restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages,number of stories, and minimum finished areas. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential, which would allow for the redevelopment of the site for single-family, and possibly two family residences. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. At their March 1,2011 Planning,Programming and Zoning Commission meeting,the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone request, subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development be restricted to single-family dwellings,with the potential for two-family dwellings. 2. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following,but not limited to, categories: a. Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b. Orientation, size,house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c. Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas,green space, etc. d. Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. Please find attached a staff report, aerial photo, and legal description, detailing the area in question. Therefore, we request the City Council set a date of public hearing on the rezoning request as March 28,2011, and publish an official notice pertinent to the requested rezoning. If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact our office.

NA:to cc: Aric Schroeder, City Planner Eric Thorson, City Engineer --file-- March 1,2011 REQUEST: REQUEST BY THE CITY OF WATERLOO TO REZONE 7.73 ACRES AT THE FORMER GREENBRIER SCHOOL SITE, LOCATED AT 1554 OAKWOOD DRIVE AT THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF OAKWOOD DRIVE AND CEDAR BEND STREET FROM "R-2" ONE AND TWO FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT AND "R-2,C-Z" CONDITIONAL ZONING DISTRICT TO "R-1,R-P" PLANNED RESIDENCE DISTRICT. APPLICANT: City of Waterloo, 715 Mulberry Street, Waterloo, IA 50703 GENERAL The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 1554 Oakwood DESCRIPTION: Drive from "R-2" and "R-2,C-Z" to "R-1,R-P", to allow for future one and two family development at the site. Currently, the site is zoned as "R-2" and "R-2,C-Z", which allow for one and two family development, however with higher density levels. Also, the "R-2,C- Z" zoning upon the site allowed for the site to be used as a bingo hall. There is no proposed project at this time to redevelop the site. IMPACT ON Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planed Residence District will help to NEIGHBORHOOD & redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. SURROUNDING Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin home LAND USE: development. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to ensure the development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative impact on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. VEHICULAR & The long, southern dimension of the rezone area fronts up to PEDESTRIAN Oakwood Drive, which is classified as a Local Street. The east and TRAFFIC west ends of the property front along Cedar Bend Street, which is CONDITIONS: classified as a Minor Arterial, and Greenbrier Road, which is a Local Street. River's Edge Christian Church is to the north of the area in question at 1247 Cedar Bend Street. It would not appear that the development of the land in question as one and two family residences would have a negative impact upon vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area, as surrounding streets were constructed in the 1960s for residential development. There are no public sidewalks located along any of the nearby streets. The City of Waterloo actively works with the Safe Routes to School program to provide sidewalks to City schools, and it is hoped to get sidewalk extended to this site in the future. RELATIONSHIP TO The Donald Street Recreational Trail is located approximately a % RECREATIONAL mile to the south along the south side of Walker Street. The trail TRAIL PLAN: continues on westward from Walker and Cedar Bend Streets, and connects with the existing trail network in George Wyth State Park. The trail going eastward from this intersection connects into the Allen Hospital and Logan Plaza area. ZONING HISTORY The building located at 1554 Oakwood Drive was rezoned from "R- 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Greenbrier School Page 1 of 5 66 March 1,2011 FOR SITE AND 2" One and Two Family Residence District to "R-2,C-Z" Conditional IMMEDIATE VICINITY: Zoning District on August 24, 1992 to allow for the former Greenbrier School to be used as a bingo hall. The 2 empty lots at the far southwest corner of the property are zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District, and have been zoned as such since the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance on February 3, 1969. Surrounding land uses and their zoning are as follows: North — River's Edge Christian Church, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. South Kwik Star Convenience Store and one and two family residences along the south side of Oakwood Drive, zoned "C-1" Commercial District and "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. East— Single family residence and lumber yard, zoned "C-2" Commercial District. West One and Two Family, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. DEVELOPMENT The surrounding area consists predominantly of residential uses in HISTORY: the adjacent Greenbrier additions, which were constructed in the mid to late 1960s. The Kwik Star convenience store was constructed at Oakwood Drive and Cedar Bend Street in 1994. BUFFERS/ SCREENING REQUIRED: Rezoning of the land in question would not require any additional buffering or screening. DRAINAGE: Rezoning of the land would not have a negative impact upon the surrounding area. FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is not located within a Special Flood Hazard area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0004, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN The former Greenbrier School, which was constructed in the 1960s, SPACES/ SCHOOLS: was used by the Waterloo Community School District as an elementary school. The school has not served as an elementary school for quite some time, and has been used for other district activities, such as the Head Start Program. Lincoln Elementary School is located approximately a 1/2 mile to the south at the intersection of Cedar Bend Street and Walker Street. Tibbits Park is located 2 blocks to the south. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, There is an 8" sanitary sewer and 18" storm sewer located within STORM SEWER, ETC. Oakwood Drive to the south of the site. The surrounding area is also served by other utilities such as water, telephone, gas, cable, etc. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Parks, Open COMPREHENSIVE Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. It may be necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map in the 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Greenbrier School Page 2 of 5 67 March 1,2011 LAND USE PLAN: future to reflect the site as Low Density Residential. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 7.73 acres of land ZONING located near the northwest corner of Cedar Bend Street and ORDINANCE: Oakwood Drive near the Greenbrier Neighborhood. Currently, the City of Waterloo is taking proactive steps on several infill development sites within the community. Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where existing infrastructure is readily available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location at Greenbrier School is located on the fringe of the developed portion of the City, however, all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. Also, this particular site is located within the CURA tax incentive district, so the City of Waterloo has taken prior steps to help in their redevelopment. These designations also indicate a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. Page 3 of 5 68 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Greenbrier School March 1,2011 The "R-1-RP" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is proposed to being rezoned. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request, but platting may be ORDINANCE: required when the area is developed. STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R- RECOMMENDATION: 2,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District and "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The areas requested are all planned districts, to allow for the orderly development of land and to ensure to the citizenry and City of Waterloo that development will occur as planned and approved, as well as providing for compatibly deigned development near neighboring development and districts. 5. The request contains all the necessary information as required by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance. And subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Greenbrier School Page 4 of 5 69 March 1,2011 higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a) Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b) Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c) Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d) Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Greenbrier School Page 5 of 5 70 - s - _ _ -yam'.-_ IL Request to rezone ap1,7 proximately 7.731 acres from "R-2" One and Two Family Reisdence District and "R-2,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District to "R-1 ,R-P" Planned Residence District ` a te � s> F� _ = r F - _ soda- � --_ ` =_4 ( Area in Question d ys f 1110, Y ;_-Q = --- Former Greenbrier School -N\��S _ 1554 Oakwood Drive �f' ` GheYcylitt -= - —-i tl1 _,_ „,_ --_ / 1 }4 - JY Golden Valley Drive - ,� / ry m /// : . _ ° gar • / ! / /� C �, i Oakwood•Dnve MW_ t iis "� lid - �` — "� `-_ •. _ 1 if — � 1 mac' - ` i -0. . , ,vr. ,_ --41 _ -Lau& Amrill 611-' ild . ----- 44-''.. , : Woodmayr,Dnve = - - -4 , , -i . - *aWakonda Drive- w mf �- _ - V - N 200 00 0 West Donald.Street zoo A 1 Plat Map — Former Greenbrier Site Rezone 4 1 Site in Question GREENBRIER I FOURTH ADDITION to 8"Sanitary Sewer 1 0..

COLE Ward 2 Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning &Development Director HAROLD GETTY Recommended City Council Action: Approval, with conditions as recommended Ward 3 by the Planning,Programming and Zoning Commission. HARTTIN Summary Statement: Transmitted herewith is a request to rezone approximately Ward 4 2.2 acres from "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District, located at the former Van Eaton School site at 2170 RON Burton Avenue. The City is requesting to rezone the property at 2170 Burton Ward 5 WELR Avenue to allow for future one and two family development at the site. Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District will help to redevelop the area BOB for one and two family housing development. Single-family homes would be GREENWOOD ideal, with the potential of twin home development. In either case, the design, At-Large layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to ensure STEVE the development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any SCHMITT development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative At-Large impact on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself,to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses. The proposed rezoning of this site is as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure CITY WEBSITE: wwwci.waterloo.ia.us 1 WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! .,�,;, F An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential,which would allow for the redevelopment of the site for single-family, and possibly two family residences. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. At their March 1,2011 Planning,Programming and Zoning Commission meeting,the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone request,subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development be restricted to single-family dwellings, with the potential for two-family dwellings. 2. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following,but not limited to, categories: a. Design of homes for curb appeal,number of stories, setbacks, etc. b. Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c.

APPLICANT: City of Waterloo, 715 Mulberry Street, Waterloo, IA 50703 GENERAL The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 2170 Burton DESCRIPTION: Avenue from "R-2" to "R-1,R-P" to allow for future one and two family development at the site. Currently, the site is zoned as "R-2", which allows for one and two family development, however with higher density levels. There is no proposed project at this time to redevelop the site. The City of Waterloo currently owns the property. IMPACT ON Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planed Residence District will help to NEIGHBORHOOD & redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. SURROUNDING Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin home LAND USE: development. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to make certain that any new development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative effect on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. VEHICULAR & The site is located along the east side of Burton Avenue, PEDESTRIAN approximately 1/8 of a mile north of West Donald Street. Both TRAFFIC Burton and West Donald are classified as Minor Arterials. It would CONDITIONS: appear that the development of the land in question as one and two family residences would not have a negative impact upon vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. There are no public sidewalks located along any of the nearby streets. RELATIONSHIP TO The Donald Street Recreational Trail is located approximately a 1/8 RECREATIONAL of a mile to the south at the intersection of Burton Avenue and West TRAIL PLAN: Donald Street. The trail continues to the south and westward from the intersection, and connects with the existing trail network in George Wyth State Park. The trail going eastward from this intersection connects into the Allen Hospital and Logan Plaza area. ZONING HISTORY The building located at 2170 Burton Avenue is zoned "R-2" One and FOR SITE AND Two Family Residence District, and has been zoned as such since IMMEDIATE VICINITY: the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance on February 3, 1969. Surrounding land uses and their zoning are as follows: North — Low Density residential development, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. South Ray Tiller Park, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. East— Low Density residential development, zoned "R-2" One and 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Van Eaton School Page 1 of 4 75 March 1,2011 Two Family Residence District. West Low Density residential development in the Cloverdale Neighborhood area, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. DEVELOPMENT The surrounding area consists predominantly low density residential HISTORY: uses in the adjacent, nearby areas, with development occurring from the 1930s to the 1980s. BUFFERS/ SCREENING REQUIRED: Rezoning of the land in question would not require any additional buffering or screening. DRAINAGE: Rezoning of the land would not have a negative impact upon the surrounding area. FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is not located within a Special Flood Hazard area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0004, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN The former Van Eaton School, which was constructed in the 1960s, SPACES/ SCHOOLS: was used by the Waterloo Community School District as an elementary school. The school has not served as an elementary school for quite some time, and currently is vacant, with demolition of the building set to occur in the very near future. Lincoln Elementary School is located approximately a 1 mile to the south and west at the intersection of Cedar Bend Street and Walker Street. Ray Tiller Park is directly to the south, and Cloverdale Park is located 4 blocks to the west. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, There is an 8" sanitary sewer is located within Burton Avenue to the STORM SEWER, ETC. west. There is no storm sewer located within the immediate area The surrounding area is also served by other utilities such as water, telephone, gas, cable, etc. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Parks, Open COMPREHENSIVE Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. LAND USE PLAN: It may be necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map in the future to reflect the site as Low Density Residential. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 2.2 acres located ZONING at the former Van Eaton School site, north of the intersection of ORDINANCE: West Donald Street and Burton Avenue. Currently, the City of Waterloo is taking proactive steps on several infill development sites within the community. Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where existing infrastructure is readily available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Van Eaton School Page 2of4 76 March 1,2011 these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location at Van Eaton School is located on the fringe of the developed portion of the City, however, all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. Also, this particular site is located within the CURA and Enterprise Zone incentive districts, so the City of Waterloo has taken prior steps to help in their redevelopment. These designations also indicate a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. The "R-1-R-P" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Van Eaton School Page 3 of 4 77 March 1,2011 proposed to being rezoned. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request, but platting may be ORDINANCE: required when the area is developed. STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R-2" RECOMMENDATION: One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The areas requested are all planned districts, to allow for the orderly development of land and to ensure to the citizenry and City of Waterloo that development will occur as planned and approved, as well as providing for compatibly deigned development near neighboring development and districts. 5. The request contains all the necessary information as required by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance. And subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a) Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b) Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c) Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d) Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Van Eaton School Page 4 of 4 78 sai,„ , Request to rezone approximately 2.2 acres from , ' "R-2" One and Two Family Reisdence District to "R-1 ,R-P" Planned Residence District t R 1 v. i T - I Former Van Eaton School .. 2170 Burton Avenue . _. as i j_ / 4 / / - t jr _,,,-- _,....1.:: :.m..., / / . - Fairchild= -3i. .

APPLICANT: City of Waterloo, 715 Mulberry Street, Waterloo, IA 50703 GENERAL The applicant is requesting to rezone the Lincoln School site from DESCRIPTION: "R-2" to "R-1,R-P" to allow for future one and two family development at the site. Currently, the site is zoned as "R-2", which allows for one and two family development, however with higher density levels. The City of Waterloo is looking to acquire this property from the schools, but there is no proposed project at this time to redevelop the site. IMPACT ON Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planed Residence District will help to NEIGHBORHOOD & redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. SURROUNDING Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin home LAND USE: development. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to make certain that any new development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative effect on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. VEHICULAR & The north side of the property fronts up to West Parker Street, which PEDESTRIAN is classified as a Local Street. The east and west ends of the TRAFFIC property front along Avon Avenue, which is classified as Local CONDITIONS: Street, and Burton Avenue, which is a Collector. It would not appear that the development of the land in question as one and two family residences would have a negative impact upon vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. There are public sidewalks located along all the streets in the nearby vicinity, making pedestrian access to the site very accessible. RELATIONSHIP TO The Donald Street Recreational Trail is located approximately a '/ RECREATIONAL mile to the north at the intersection of Burton Avenue and Walker TRAIL PLAN: Street. ZONING HISTORY The site is currently zoned "R-2", One and Two Family Residence FOR SITE AND District, which allow for one and two family residences. The site in IMMEDIATE VICINITY: question has been zoned as such since the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance on February 3, 1969. Surrounding land uses and their zoning are as follows: North — Existing commercial development, zoned "C-1,C-Z" Conditional Zoning District and one and two family residences, zoned "R-2", One and Two Family Residence District. 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Lincoln School Page 1 of 4 83 March 1,2011 South — Existing one and two family residences along Newton Street, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. East— Existing one and two family residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District.. West - Existing One and Two Family residences and a religious facility, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. DEVELOPMENT The surrounding area consists predominantly residential uses, with HISTORY: some religious uses mixed in. The housing in the area was predominantly constructed from the 1920s to the 1950s. BUFFERS/ SCREENING Rezoning of the land in question would not require any additional REQUIRED: buffering or screening. DRAINAGE: Rezoning of the land would not have a negative impact upon the surrounding area. FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is located within any Special Flood Hazard area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0004, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN The former Lincoln School, which was constructed in the early SPACES/ SCHOOLS: 1900s. The school has since then been demolished. The new Lincoln Elementary School is located approximately a 1/2 mile to the northwest at the intersection of Cedar Bend Street and Walker Street. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, 10" sanitary sewer is located within West Parker Street, Burton STORM SEWER, ETC. Avenue and Newton Street on the north, south and west sides of the site. An 18" storm sewer is located within West Parker Street, and a 30" storm sewer is located in Avon Avenue to the east. 4" drain tile located in Burton Avenue and Newton Street, south and east of the site. The surrounding area is also served by other utilities such as water, telephone, gas, cable, etc. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Parks, Open COMPREHENSIVE Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. LAND USE PLAN: It may be necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map in the future to reflect the site as Low Density Residential. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 2.2 acres of land ZONING located at the southeast corner of West Parker Street and Burton ORDINANCE: Avenue. Currently, the City of Waterloo is taking proactive steps on several infill development sites within the community. Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where existing infrastructure is readily available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Lincoln School Page 2 of 4 84 March 1,2011 development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater analysis of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location at is located within the developed portion of the City, and all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. Also, this particular site is located within the CURA Tax Incentive District, and has been recommended for inclusion in the Enterprise Zone by the local Enterprise Zone Commission, so the City of Waterloo has taken prior steps to help in their redevelopment. These designations also indicate a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. The "R-1-R-P" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is proposed to being 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Lincoln School Page 3 of 4 85 March 1,2011 rezoned. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly duplexes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. STAFF ANALYSIS — There is no platting required for this request, but platting may be SUBDIVISION required when the area is developed. ORDINANCE: STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R-2" RECOMMENDATION: One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The areas requested are all planned districts, to allow for the orderly development of land and to ensure to the citizenry and City of Waterloo that development will occur as planned and approved, as well as providing for compatibly deigned development near neighboring development and districts. 5. The request contains all the necessary information as required by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance. And subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a) Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b) Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c) Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d) Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Lincoln School Page 4 of 4 86 e _a . 1 Request to rezone approximately 2.2 acres from TM "R-2" One and Two Family Reisdence District to f '14 _ 'R-1 ,R-P" Planned Residence DistrictIP a ': F }3s FY4 - v '. r_ .l •` r l - - J.

People's Community Health Clinic,the adjoining property owner is proposing to acquire the property,but there is no proposed project at this time to BOB redevelop the site. Staff believes the "C-P" Planned Commercial District will help GREENWOOD to redevelop the surrounding area, and open up additional space in the central At-Large portion of the City for potential retail commercial/office development. The STEVE design, layout, orientation, density, and style of new development upon the site SCHMITT will be highly important to make certain that any new development is beneficial to At-Large the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative affect on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area, as development of the site as commercial/office uses would be similar to already existing development within the nearby Downtown area. The proposed rezoning of this site is as a Planned District to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Commercial district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure CITY WEBSITE: wwwci.waterloo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Mixed Commercial, Medium to High Density Residential, Professional Offices and Compatible Commercial, which would allow for the redevelopment of the site for office or commercial purposes. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. At their March 1,2011 Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone request, subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development be restricted to single-family dwellings, with the potential for two-family dwellings. 2.

Any new commercial development upon the site would be required to submit a storm water drainage and retention plan, and be required to retain any storm water upon the site. FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is not located within any Special Flood Hazard area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0004, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN The former Expo High School site was used as the school district's SPACES/ SCHOOLS: alternative high school up till 2010 before operations were moved to the former McKinstry Elementary site at Idaho Street and Independence Avenue. The site is also located near East High School and Highland Elementary School is located approximately 1 mile to the east near the intersection of Idaho Street and Independence Avenue. Lincoln Park is located approximately 4 blocks to the north and west at the intersection of Franklin and West 4th Streets. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, A 10" sanitary sewer line is locate within Franklin Street, and 8" lines STORM SEWER, ETC. are within Walnut Street and East 8th and 9th Streets. 18" storm sewer is located within Franklin Street and Walnut Street. The surrounding area is also served by other utilities such as water, telephone, gas, cable, etc. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Parks, Open COMPREHENSIVE Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. LAND USE PLAN: It may be necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map in the future to reflect the site as Commercial. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 2.8 acres located ZONING at the former Expo High School site along the north side of ORDINANCE: Franklin Street near its intersections with East 8th and East 9th Streets. Currently, the City of Waterloo is taking proactive steps on several infill development sites within the community. Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where 3.1.11 Rezone C2&R3 to CP—Expo High School Page 2 of 4 92 March 1,2011 existing infrastructure is readily available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Commercial district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location is located within the core of the developed portion of the City, and all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. Also, this particular site is located within the CURA, Rath Urban Renewal Tax Increment Finance District, and Enterprise Zone incentive district, so the City of Waterloo has taken prior steps to help in their redevelopment. These designations also indicate a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill redevelopment to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with better or compatible designs. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The "C-P" designation gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is proposed to being rezoned. STAFF ANALYSIS — There is no platting required for this request, but platting may be 3.1.11 Rezone C2&R3 to CP—Expo High School Page 3 of 4 93 March 1,2011 SUBDIVISION required when the area is developed. ORDINANCE: STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "C-P" RECOMMENDATION: Planned Commercial District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The areas requested are all planned districts, to allow for the orderly development of land and to ensure to the citizenry and City of Waterloo that development will occur as planned and approved, as well as providing for compatibly deigned development near neighboring development and districts. 5. The request contains all the necessary information as required by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance. And subject to the following condition(s): 1.

COLE Ward 2 Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning &Development Director HAROLD GETTY Recommended City Council Action: Approval, with conditions as recommended Ward 3 by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission. QUENTIN Summary Statement: Transmitted herewith is a request to rezone approximately HART Ward 4 1.14 acres from"R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District, located at the former Francis Grout School site 330 RON Madison Street. The City is requesting to rezone this particular property to allow WELPER for future one and two family development at the site. Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Ward 5 Planned Residence District will help to redevelop the area for one and two family BOB housing development. Single-family homes would be ideal,with the potential of GREENWOOD twin home development. In either case,the design, layout, orientation, density, At-Large and style of homes will be highly important to ensure the development is beneficial STEVE to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift SCHMITT the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative impact on it. Staff believes At-Large rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. The "R- P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses. The proposed rezoning of this site is as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure CITY WEBSITE: wwwci.waterloo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! t:ry a r=n L'o 0 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer ,� the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential, which would allow for the redevelopment of the site for single-family, and possibly two family residences. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. At their March 1,2011 Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone request, subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development be restricted to single-family dwellings, with the potential for two-family dwellings. 2. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a. Design of homes for curb appeal,number of stories, setbacks, etc. b. Orientation, size,house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c. Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d. Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. Please find attached a staff report, aerial photo, and legal description, detailing the area in question. Therefore,we request the City Council set a date of public hearing on the rezoning request as March 28,2011, and publish an official notice pertinent to the requested rezoning. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where existing infrastructure is readily available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Francis Grout School Page 2 of 4 100 March 1,2011 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. All necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. Also, this particular site is located within the CURA and Enterprise Zone incentive districts, so the City of Waterloo has taken prior steps to help in their redevelopment. These designations also indicate a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. The "R-1-R-P" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is proposed to being rezoned. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Francis Grout School Page 3 of 4 101 March 1,2011 compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request. ORDINANCE: STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R-2" RECOMMENDATION: One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1.

COLE Ward 2 Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning& Development Director HAROLD GETTY Recommended City Council Action: Approval, with conditions as recommended Ward 3 by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission. QUENTIN Summary Statement: Transmitted herewith is a request to rezone approximately HART Ward 4 7.96 acres from"R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District located at the former Maywood School site at 800 RON Milwaukee Avenue. The City is requesting to rezone this particular property to WEEPER allow for future one and two familydevelopment at the site. Staff believes the "R- Ward 5 I,R-P" Planned Residence District will help to redevelop the area for one and two BOB family housing development. Single-family homes would be ideal, with the GREENWOOD potential of twin home development. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, At-Large density, and style of homes will be highly important to ensure the development is STEVE beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs SCHMITT to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative impact on it. Staff At-Large believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. The"R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself,to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses. The proposed rezoning of this site is as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure CITY WEBSITE: www.ci.waterloo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! 111 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer • the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages,number of stories, and minimum finished areas. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential, which would allow for the redevelopment of the site for single-family, and possibly two family residences. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. At their March 1,2011 Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone request, subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development be restricted to single-family dwellings, with the potential for two-family dwellings. 2. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following,but not limited to, categories: a. Design of homes for curb appeal,number of stories, setbacks, etc. b. Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c. Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d. Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. Please find attached a staff report,aerial photo, and legal description,detailing the area in question. Therefore, we request the City Council set a date of public hearing on the rezoning request as March 28,2011, and publish an official notice pertinent to the requested rezoning. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

APPLICANT: City of Waterloo, 715 Mulberry Street, Waterloo, IA 50703 GENERAL The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 800 Milwaukee DESCRIPTION: Avenue from "R-2" to "R-1,R-P" to allow for future one and two family development at the site. Currently, the site is zoned as "R-2", which allows for one and two family development, however with higher density levels. Tri-County Development Council, who currently operates a Head-Start Program from the site, has proposed to acquire a portion of the site from the schools. The existing building may remain for the continued use for Head-Start. There is no proposed project for the redevelopment of the site. IMPACT ON Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planed Residence District will help to NEIGHBORHOOD & redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. SURROUNDING Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin home LAND USE: development, due to the existence of other multiple family dwellings in the area. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to make certain that any new development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative effect on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. VEHICULAR & The site is located along the east side of Milwaukee Avenue, which PEDESTRIAN is classified as a Local Street. Calhoun Street borders the south TRAFFIC edge of the property, and is classified as a Local Street. Dearborn CONDITIONS: Avenue intersects Milwaukee Avenue just west of the site, and it is classified as a Local Street. It would appear that the development of the land in question as one and two family residences would not have a negative impact upon vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. There are no public sidewalks located along any of the nearby streets. RELATIONSHIP TO The nearest recreational trail would be the south segment of Martin RECREATIONAL Luther King, Jr. Recreational Trail that is located approximately a TRAIL PLAN: mile to the north along the east side of Northeast Drive.

FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is not located within a Special Flood Hazard area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0008, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN The former Maywood School, which was constructed in the 1970s, SPACES/ SCHOOLS: was used by the Waterloo Community School District as an elementary school. The school has not served as an elementary school for quite some time, and has been used for other district activities, such as the Head Start Program. Highland Elementary School and the former McKinstry Elementary School are located approximately 1.5 miles to the north and west at the intersection of Idaho Street and Independence Avenue. Maywood Park is located 1 block to the south. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, 8" sanitary sewer is located within Calhoun Street to the south and STORM SEWER, ETC. Short Street to the east. There is also an 8" sanitary sewer located on the northeast portion of the site in question within a 30' sanitary sewer easement. There is no storm sewer located within the immediate area. The surrounding area is also served by other utilities such as water, telephone, gas, cable, etc. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Parks, Open COMPREHENSIVE Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. LAND USE PLAN: It may be necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map in the future to reflect the site as Low Density Residential. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 7.96 acres located ZONING at the former Maywood School site, at the intersection of ORDINANCE: Milwaukee Avenue and Calhoun Street. Currently, the City of Waterloo is taking proactive steps on several infill development sites within the community. Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where existing infrastructure is readily available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Maywood School Page 2 of 4 108 March 1,2011 minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location at Maywood School is located on the fringe of the developed portion of the City, however, all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. Also, this particular site is located within the CURA incentive district, so the City of Waterloo has taken prior steps to help in their redevelopment. These designations also indicate a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. The "R-1-R-P" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Maywood School Page 3 of 4 109 March 1,2011 Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is proposed to being rezoned.

STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request, but platting may be ORDINANCE: required when the area is developed. STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R-2" RECOMMENDATION: One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3.

CAROLYN COLE Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning&Development Director Ward 2 HAROLD Recommended City Council Action: Approval, with conditions as recommended GETTY by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission. Ward 3 Summary Statement: Transmitted herewith is a request to rezone approximately QUENTIN 1.12 acres from"R-3" Multiple Residence District to"R-1,R-P"Planned HART Ward 4 Residence District, located at the Williston Field site at the northeast corner of Williston Avenue and West 7th Street. The City is requesting to rezone this RON particular property to allow for future one and two family development at the site. Wards WELR Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District will help to redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. Single-family homes would be BOB ideal, with the potential of twin home development. In either case, the design, GREENWOOD layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to ensure At-Large the development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any STEVE development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative SCHMITT impact on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper At-Large conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. The"R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review,provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself,to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses. The proposed rezoning of this site is as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the CITY WEBSITE: wwwci.waterloo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! 1,NATipL, An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages,number of stories, and minimum finished areas. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential,which would allow for the redevelopment of the site for single-family, and possibly two family residences. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. At their March 1,2011 Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission meeting,the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone request, subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development be restricted to single-family dwellings, with the potential for two-family dwellings. 2. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a. Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b. Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c. Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d. Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. Please find attached a staff report, aerial photo, and legal description, detailing the area in question. Therefore, we request the City Council set a date of public hearing on the rezoning request as March 28,2011, and publish an official notice pertinent to the requested rezoning. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office.

NA:to cc: Aric Schroeder, City Planner Eric Thorson, City Engineer --file-- March 1,2011 REQUEST: REQUEST BY THE CITY OF WATERLOO TO REZONE 1.12 ACRES AT WILLISTON FIELD, LOCATED NORTH OF WILLISTON AVENUE BETWEEN WEST 7TH AND ALLEN STREETS, FROM "R- 3" MULTIPLE RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO "R-1,R-P" PLANNED RESIDENCE DISTRICT. APPLICANT: City of Waterloo, 715 Mulberry Street, Waterloo, IA 50703 GENERAL The applicant is requesting to rezone the property in question from DESCRIPTION: "R-3" to "R-1,R-P" allow for future one and two family development at the site. Currently, the site is zoned as "R-3", which allows for multiple residences with higher density levels. The City of Waterloo is looking to acquire this property from the schools, but there is no proposed project at this time to redevelop the site. IMPACT ON Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planed Residence District will help to NEIGHBORHOOD & redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. SURROUNDING Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin home LAND USE: development, due to the existence of other multiple family dwellings in the area. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to make certain that any new development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative effect on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. VEHICULAR & The site is located along the north side of Williston Avenue between PEDESTRIAN West 7th Street,Allen Street and Pleasant Street. Williston Avenue TRAFFIC is classified as a Minor Arterial, and West 7th, Allen and Pleasant CONDITIONS: Streets are classified as Local Streets. There is public sidewalk located along Williston Avenue, the north side of Pleasant Street and the west side of West 7th Street. It would appear that the rezone request would not have a negative impact upon vehicular and pedestrian traffic within the area, and the site would have high accessibility for pedestrians. Sidewalk extensions should be required for any future development along the south side of Pleasant Street and the east side of West 7th Street. RELATIONSHIP TO RECREATIONAL There are no recreational trails located within the nearby vicinity. TRAIL PLAN: ZONING HISTORY The site in questions is zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence FOR SITE AND District, and has been zoned as such since the adoption of the IMMEDIATE VICINITY: Zoning Ordinance on February 3, 1969. Surrounding land uses and their zoning are as follows: North Multiple Family Residences, zoned "R-3" Multiple Residence District. South One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District, and Multiple Family Residence and 3.1.11 Rezone R3 to R1RP—Winston Field Page 1 of 4 115 March 1,2011 commercial uses, located further to the east. East — One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-3" Multiple Residence District. West One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-3" Multiple Residence District. DEVELOPMENT The surrounding area consists low-density and multiple family HISTORY: residential uses and some light commercial uses, nearby areas, with development occurring from the 1910s to the 1960s. BUFFERS/ SCREENING Rezoning of the land in question would not require any additional REQUIRED: buffering or screening. DRAINAGE: Rezoning of the land would not have a negative impact upon the surrounding area. FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is not located within any Special Flood Hazard area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0012, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN The Williston Field was established as an open space associated SPACES/ SCHOOLS: with the former West Intermediate Middle School, which was closed and replaced with the new Irving Elementary. The nearest school is the new Irving Elementary School at the intersection of West 5th Street and Baltimore Street, west of the area. Leavitt Triangle Park is located 2 blocks to the east at the intersection of Williston Avenue and West 9th Street. Liberty Park is located 4 blocks to the south on the south side of Byron Avenue. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, 8" sanitary sewer is located within West 7th Street to the west, along STORM SEWER, ETC. with a 36" sanitary sewer line that parallels it. The Dry Run Creek sewer storm sewer is located under Allen Street to the east of the site, and there is a 15" storm sewer line within Pleasant Street to the north. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Parks, Open COMPREHENSIVE Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. LAND USE PLAN: It may be necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map in the future to reflect the site as Low Density Residential. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 1.12 acres located ZONING at the Williston Field site, located along the north side of Williston ORDINANCE: Avenue between West 7th and Allen Streets. Currently, the City of Waterloo is taking proactive steps on several infill development sites within the community. Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where existing infrastructure is readily available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to 3.1.11 Rezone R3 to R1RP—Williston Field Page 2 of 4 116 March 1,2D11 ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location at Williston Field is located within the core of the developed portion of the City, and all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. Also, this particular site is located within the CURA tax incentive district, so the City of Waterloo has taken prior steps to help in the redevelopment of the site. These designations also indicate a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. The "R-1-R-P" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is 3.1.11 Rezone R3 to R1 RP—Williston Field Page 3 of 4 117 March 1,2011 proposed to being rezoned. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request, but platting may be ORDINANCE: required when the area is developed. STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R-3" RECOMMENDATION: Multiple Residence District to "R-1 ,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The areas requested are all planned districts, to allow for the orderly development of land and to ensure to the citizenry and City of Waterloo that development will occur as planned and approved, as well as providing for compatibly deigned development near neighboring development and districts. 5. The request contains all the necessary information as required by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance. And subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a) Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b) Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots c) Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d) Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development 3.1.11 Rezone R3 to R1RP—Williston Field Page 4 of 4 118 I fen \ Request to rezone approximately 1 . 12 acres from -'' - R-3 Multiple Residence District to "R-1 ,R-P" Planned Residence District Area in Question - ti' eto ' ii, iCIL__;_„--,t-, WI .. %._ • _ a _ 1:. 5 - Pleasant Street _. , .-- _ . „:. , i , # • vivyr. , • • ......, f 1 , 1 .. •._ ,-.,. , „...±. . _ ____., .,,,i. ._ _ _ . 4 11 = // - 1 ,. i ' r . .. „., .,.._, ... i :A __ ' $ r'R t 3a l�L -_ / t `.it co a ` ' r „ N .- - rn I a) 0k.

COLE Ward 2 Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning & Development Director HAROLD GETTY Recommended City Council Action: Approval, with conditions as recommended Ward 3 by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission. QUENTIN Summary Statement: Transmitted herewith is a request to rezone approximately HART Ward 4 3.52 acres from "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District, located at the former Irving Elementary School site at RON 728 Hawthorne Avenue. The City is requesting to rezone this particular property WELPER to allow for future one and two familydevelopment at the site. Staff believes the Ward 5 "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District will help to redevelop the area for one and BOB two family housing development. Single-family homes would be ideal, with the GREENWOOD potential of twin home development. In either case,the design, layout, orientation, At-Large density, and style of homes will be highly important to ensure the development is STEVE beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs SCHMITT to uplift the surrounding neighborhood,not have any negative impact on it. Staff At-Large believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review,provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses. The proposed rezoning of this site is as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure CITY WEBSITE: www.ci.waterbo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! „; _p,10 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer • the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages,number of stories, and minimum finished areas. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential, which would allow for the redevelopment of the site for single-family, and possibly two family residences. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. At their March 1,2011 Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone request, subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development be restricted to single-family dwellings,with the potential for two-family dwellings. 2. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a. Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b. Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c. Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d. Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. Please find attached a staff report, aerial photo, and legal description, detailing the area in question. Therefore, we request the City Council set a date of public hearing on the rezoning request as March 28,2011, and publish an official notice pertinent to the requested rezoning.

NA:to cc: Aric Schroeder, City Planner Eric Thorson, City Engineer --file-- March 1,2011 REQUEST: REQUEST BY THE CITY OF WATERLOO TO REZONE 3.52 ACRES AT THE FORMING IRVING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, LOCATED AT 728 HAWTHORNE AVENUE, FROM "R-2" ONE AND TWO FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO "R-1,R-P" PLANNED RESIDENCE DISTRICT. APPLICANT: City of Waterloo, 715 Mulberry Street, Waterloo, IA 50703 GENERAL The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at 728 Hawthorne DESCRIPTION: Avenue from "R-2" to "R-1,R-P" to allow for future one and two family development at the site. Currently, the site is zoned as "R-2", which allows for one and two family development, however with higher density levels. Habitat for Humanity is proposing to acquire the property from the schools, and do plan to redevelop it for residential homes, but detailed plans have been submitted. IMPACT ON Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planed Residence District will help to NEIGHBORHOOD & redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. SURROUNDING Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin home LAND USE: development, due to the existence of other multiple family dwellings in the area. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to make certain that any new development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative effect on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. VEHICULAR & The site is located along the south side of Hawthorne Avenue. The PEDESTRIAN site is bordered by West 6th Street to the east, Western Avenue on TRAFFIC the west and Eureka Street on the south All these particular streets CONDITIONS: are classified as Local Streets. There is public sidewalk located along West 6th Street, Hawthorne Avenue and Western Avenue. It would appear that the rezone request would not have a negative impact upon vehicular and pedestrian traffic within the area. RELATIONSHIP TO RECREATIONAL There are no recreational trails located within the nearby vicinity. TRAIL PLAN: ZONING HISTORY The site in questions is zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence FOR SITE AND District, and has been zoned as such since the adoption of the IMMEDIATE VICINITY: Zoning Ordinance on February 3, 1969. Surrounding land uses and their zoning are as follows: North — One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. South One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. East— One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. West One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two 3.1.11 Rezone R2 to R1CP—Irving School Page 1 of 5 123 March 1,2011 Family Residence District. DEVELOPMENT The surrounding area consists predominantly low-density residential HISTORY: uses and some light commercial uses, nearby areas, with development occurring from the 1910s to the 1950s. BUFFERS/ SCREENING Rezoning of the land in question would not require any additional REQUIRED: buffering or screening. DRAINAGE: Rezoning of the land would not have a negative impact upon the surrounding area, and one or two family residences are not required to provide storm water detention. FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is not located within any Special Flood Hazard area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0012, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN The Irving Elementary School was constructed in the 1910s, and SPACES/ SCHOOLS: used by the Waterloo Community School District as an elementary School. The school has not served as an elementary school since the new Irving Elementary was constructed in 2004, 4 blocks to the north. The building will need to be demolished. The nearest schools are the newer Irving Elementary School at the intersection of West 5th Street and Baltimore Street, and West High School, which is approximately a '/z mile to the south at the intersection of East Ridgeway Avenue and Baltimore Street. Miller Park is located approximately 3 blocks to the south and west. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, A 10" sanitary sewer and 15" storm sewer is located in Western STORM SEWER, ETC. Avenue to the west, and an 18" sanitary sewer is located within West 6th Street to the east. A 21" storm sewer is located within Hawthorne Avenue to the north. The surrounding area is also served by other utilities such as water, telephone, gas, cable, etc. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Parks, Open COMPREHENSIVE Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. LAND USE PLAN: It may be necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map in the future to reflect the site as Low Density Residential. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 3.52 acres located ZONING at the former Irving Elementary School site, located 728 ORDINANCE: Hawthorne Avenue. Currently, the City of Waterloo is taking proactive steps on several infill development sites within the community. Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where existing infrastructure is readily available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon 3.1.11 Rezone R2 to R1CP—Irving School Page 2 of 5 124 March 1,2011 these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location at Irving School is located within the core of the developed portion of the City, and all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. There is also a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. The "R-1-R-P" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is proposed to being rezoned. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly duplexes if 3.1.11 Rezone R2 to R1CP—Irving School Page 3 of 5 125 March 1,2011 appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. Staff is aware that Habitat for Humanity is reviewing the ability for a larger development plan for this area. Staff has reservations and concerns with such a plan, as Habitat receives funds from the City of Waterloo, and the City would much rather prioritize the redevelopment of infill lots acquired through the cleanup of existing neighborhoods. Furthermore, staff believes the larger lot redevelopment sites better label themselves for potential private development for contractors to save in bulk construction methods. STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request. ORDINANCE: STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R-2" RECOMMENDATION: One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The areas requested are all planned districts, to allow for the orderly development of land and to ensure to the citizenry and City of Waterloo that development will occur as planned and approved, as well as providing for compatibly deigned development near neighboring development and districts. 5. The request contains all the necessary information as required by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance. And subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a) Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b) Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots c) Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d) Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development 3.1.11 Rezone R2 to R1CP—Irving School Page 4 of 5 126 t = tom- ' E.v { .as .—. ...

NA:to cc: Aric Schroeder, City Planner Eric Thorson, City Engineer —file-- March 1,2011 REQUEST: REQUEST BY THE CITY OF WATERLOO TO REZONE 6.39 ACRES AT THE BALTIMORE FIELD SITE, LOCATED AT THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF HAWTHORNE AVENUE AND VERMONT STREET, FROM "R-2" ONE AND TWO FAMILY RESIDENCE DISTRICT TO "R-1,R-P" PLANNED RESIDENCE DISTRICT. APPLICANT: City of Waterloo, 715 Mulberry Street, Waterloo, IA 50703 GENERAL The applicant is requesting to rezone the property at the southeast DESCRIPTION: corner of Hawthorne Avenue and Vermont Street from "R-2" to "R- 1,R-P" to allow for future one and two family development at the site. Currently, the site is zoned as "R-2", which allows for one and two family development, however with higher density levels. The City of Waterloo is looking to acquire the property from the schools, but there is no proposed project at this time to redevelop the site. IMPACT ON Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planed Residence District will help to NEIGHBORHOOD & redevelop the area for one and two family housing development. SURROUNDING Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin home LAND USE: development, due to the existence of other multiple family dwellings in the area. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and style of homes will be highly important to make certain that any new development is beneficial to the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative effect on it. Staff believes rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. VEHICULAR & The site is located along the east side Vermont Street, between PEDESTRIAN Hawthorne Avenue to the north and Eureka Street to the south. All TRAFFIC these particular streets are classified as Local Streets. Baltimore CONDITIONS: Street is located 1 block to the east of the site, and it is classified as a Local Street. It would appear that the development of the land in question as one and two family residences would not have a negative impact upon vehicular and pedestrian traffic in the area. There are no public sidewalks located along all the streets abutting the site, however, there is public sidewalk located along Baltimore Street, 1 block to the east. Sidewalk extensions should be required for any future development. RELATIONSHIP TO RECREATIONAL There are no recreational trails located within the nearby vicinity. TRAIL PLAN: ZONING HISTORY The site in questions is zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence FOR SITE AND District, and has been zoned as such since the adoption of the IMMEDIATE VICINITY: Zoning Ordinance on February 3, 1969. Surrounding land uses and their zoning are as follows: North — Low Density residential development, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Baltimore Field Page 1 of 4 131 March 1,2011 South One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. East— One and Two Family Residences, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District. West One and Two Family Residences and Byron Avenue Hy-Vee, zoned "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District and "C-1" Commercial District. DEVELOPMENT The surrounding area consists predominantly low-density residential HISTORY: uses and some light commercial uses, nearby areas, with development occurring from the 1920s to the 1950s. E3UFFERS/ SCREENING Rezoning of the land in question would not require any additional REQUIRED: buffering or screening. DRAINAGE: Rezoning of the land would not have a negative impact upon the surrounding area. FLOODPLAIN: The area in question is not located within a Special Flood Hazard area as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, Community Number 190025 and Panel Number 0012, dated July 3, 1985. PUBLIC /OPEN The Baltimore Field was established as open space associated with SPACES/ SCHOOLS: the former Irving Elementary School at 728 Hawthorne Avenue. The school district no longer needs this open recreational field, due to the close proximity of other parks in the area. The nearest schools are Irving Elementary School at the intersection of West 5th Street and Baltimore Street, and West High School, which is approximately a '/z mile to the south at the intersection of East Ridgeway Avenue and Baltimore Street. Miller Park is located 2 blocks to the south along the west side of Vermont Street, and Liberty Park is located 3 blocks to the east on the south side of Byron Avenue. UTILITIES: WATER, SANITARY SEWER, 8" sanitary sewer is located within Vermont Street to the west and STORM SEWER, ETC. Eureka Street to the south. There is also 4" drain tile within Vermont Street and Eureka Street, and there is a 24" storm sewer within Byron Avenue, west of the site. The surrounding area is also served by other utilities such as water, telephone, gas, cable, etc. RELATIONSHIP TO The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Parks, Open COMPREHENSIVE Spaces, Schools, Airport, Government Facilities, and Public Areas. LAND USE PLAN: It may be necessary to amend the Future Land Use Map in the future to reflect the site as Low Density Residential. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. STAFF ANALYSIS — The proposed rezone consists of approximately 6.39 acres located ZONING at the Baltimore Fieldl site, at the intersection of Vermont Street ORDINANCE: and Hawthorne Avenue. Currently, the City of Waterloo is taking proactive steps on several infill development sites within the community. Utilizing infill development sites within developed portions of the City where existing infrastructure is readily 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Baltimore Field Page 2 of 4 132 March 1,2011 available is a Smart Growth Practice, and the installation and extension of utilities to serve any new development would be minimal, saving on future maintenance costs for the City. The proposed rezoning for all of these sites are as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location at Maywood School is located on the fringe of the developed portion of the City, however, all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. There is also a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. The "R-1-R-P" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Baltimore Field Page 3 of 4 133 March 1,2011 Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is proposed to being rezoned. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request, but platting may be ORDINANCE: required when the area is developed. STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R-2" RECOMMENDATION: One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The areas requested are all planned districts, to allow for the orderly development of land and to ensure to the citizenry and City of Waterloo that development will occur as planned and approved, as well as providing for compatibly deigned development near neighboring development and districts. 5. The request contains all the necessary information as required by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance. And subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a) Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b) Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots c) Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d) Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Baltimore Field Page 4 of 4 134 E idia Request to rezone approximately 6.39 acres from 1 _ "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to ' "R-1 ,R-F" Planned Residence District �= .$ is '- , ° Forest-Avenue z -vier+ LL 1.10 a ir? . ..is a.) �— _ L • rd iiitlit Hawthorne Avenue -,. -- e /. // - V • _ Area in Question V P s E 1 ..•Y r 4 J l L / / •� 4 .� 1 /,- / 7 Byron•Avenue //y/// -Byron Avenue \ . /f/ // Frances Drive / E A Q ' _ a f61l s ' t ai. __ x_ �. r / _ Vi f I Y Eureka Streeter �` i vl r_ I _ — i 'Feet ..

COLE Ward 2 Submitted by: Noel Anderson, Community Planning &Development Director HAROLD GETTY Recommended City Council Action: Approval, with conditions as recommended Ward 3 by the Planning,Programming and Zoning Commission. HARTTIN Summary Statement: Transmitted herewith is a request to rezone approximately Ward 4 8.47 acres from"R-2"One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District at the former Devonshire School site at 515 Devonshire RON Drive. The City is requesting to rezone this particular property to allow for future Ward sER one and two family development at the site. Staff believes the "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District will help to redevelop the area for one and two family housing BOB development. Single-family homes would be ideal, with the potential of twin GREENWOOD home development. In either case, the design, layout, orientation, density, and At-Large style of homes will be highly important to ensure the development is beneficial to STEVE the surrounding neighborhood. Staff believes any development needs to uplift the scHMITT surrounding neighborhood, not have any negative impact on it. Staff believes At-Large rezoning the land as such and placing proper conditions on future development will prevent it from having a negative impact upon the surrounding area. The "R- P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent t land uses. ty J The proposed rezoning of this site is as Planned Districts to ensure that compatible and suitable development occurs upon these infill sites near already existing and established neighborhoods. Rezoning the land to a Planned Residence district is meant to make certain that: 1. The City of Waterloo has a greater level of review for these sites to ensure CITY WEBSITE: www.ci.waterloo.ia.us WE'RE WORKING FOR YOU! An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer the infill sites are properly redeveloped to have a positive impact on the surrounding neighborhoods. 2. That the surrounding neighbors have a greater level of public input for the redevelopment of these sites. Many of these residents have lived and invested in these areas for a long period of time, and it is in their interest that the transition from school sites to other residential sites is done in a way that is beneficial to their homes. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate,restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. Approximately the west 1/3 of the property in question is located within the Zone-A, 100-year floodplain as indicated by the Federal Insurance Administration's Flood Insurance Rate Map, dated July 3, 1985. Currently, FEMA is updating the City of Waterloo floodplain maps, and after that update is completed, approximately 'h of the property will be located within the Zone-A, 100-year floodplain. Residences in the area have expressed concerns on drainage and flooding issues in the past. Any future development will have to ensure that it does not have a negative affect on drainage or flooding of adjacent property. The City also has a drainage plan that needs to have more specific design continued,which indicates the need for a retention pond on the site. Any future development will need to take this into account. The Future Land Use Map designates this area as Low Density Residential,which would allow for the redevelopment of the site for single-family, and possibly two family residences. The rezone area is located within the Primary Growth Area. At their March 1,2011 Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission meeting, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the rezone request, subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development be restricted to single-family dwellings, with the potential for two-family dwellings. 2. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following,but not limited to, categories: a. Design of homes for curb appeal,number of stories, setbacks, etc. b. Orientation, size,house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots. c. Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. d. Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development. Please find attached a staff report, aerial photo,and legal description, detailing the area in question. Therefore, we request the City Council set a date of public hearing on the rezoning request as March 28,2011, and publish an official notice pertinent to the requested rezoning. If you have any questions,please do not hesitate to contact our office.

All of the sites are primarily located within the developed portion of the City of Waterloo, the Primary Growth Area as designated by the City of Waterloo Comprehensive Plan. This particular location at Devonshire School is located within the core of the developed portion of the City, and all necessary utilities to serve the site are located within the area. There is also a need for proper redevelopment so as to not upset the delicate nature of some neighborhoods, and ensure they continue to move forward in a positive manner. It is staff's goal that any redevelopment of these areas represent the best possible infill homes to each area. Staff would like to see new construction with compatible or better designs, compatible or bigger yards, more home amenities, and compatible or bigger houses. These sites need to uplift the neighborhoods, and make surrounding neighbors encouraged with their redevelopment, and secure that it is helping their property values and future investments in their own homes. The City of Waterloo Leisure Services Department has reviewed all of the sites to recommend they are eligible for redevelopment. This is due to other park areas and open spaces being in close proximity. The "R-1-R-P" designation suggests a lower level of density, as the underlying "R-1" designation is the lowest density level in the City of Waterloo, with lots at least 9,000 SF in area, widths of at least 75', and greater setbacks for buildings. The "R-P" designation also gives the City of Waterloo greater levels of design review, provides for special provisions and care to be taken in site 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Devonshire School Page 3 of 5 141 March 1,2011 layout and design itself, to ensure compatibility to adjacent land uses, including screening, landscaping, building design, etc. It also provides for greater levels of public input, as any development would be required to be reviewed by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and subsequently the City Council after recommendation in lieu thereof. It is for the explicit reasons of making this a high quality development that this is proposed to being rezoned. It is proposed that prior to the approval of any specific development plan, conditions on the approval will be required, including limiting the type of development to single-family homes and possibly twin homes if appropriate, restricting the minimum lot size and lot width to be compatible with the neighborhood, and restricting designs, such as requirements for attached garages, number of stories, and minimum finished areas. STAFF ANALYSIS — SUBDIVISION There is no platting required for this request, but platting may be ORDINANCE: required when the area is developed. STAFF Therefore, staff recommends that the request to rezone from "R-2" RECOMMENDATION: One and Two Family Residence District to "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District be approved for the following reasons: 1. The request is in conformance with the Comprehensive Plan for this area through its differing district requests and the areas designated on the Future Land Use Map, as well as planned development in a Primary Growth Area. 2. The site in question would appear to provide sufficient space to meet all required regulations including setbacks, drainage, landscaping, screening, etc. 3. The proposed rezone area is already served by all necessary utilities. 4. The areas requested are all planned districts, to allow for the orderly development of land and to ensure to the citizenry and City of Waterloo that development will occur as planned and approved, as well as providing for compatibly deigned development near neighboring development and districts. 5. The request contains all the necessary information as required by the City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance. And subject to the following condition(s): 1. That the development will be highly scrutinized to provide a higher level of design and livability by the City of Waterloo in the following, but not limited to, categories: a) Design of homes for curb appeal, number of stories, setbacks, etc. b) Orientation, size, house density-to-lot ratio, and layout of lots c) Amenities of homes such as garages, fencing, finished areas, green space, etc. 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Devonshire School Page 4 of 5 142 March 1,2011 a) Relationship and positive impact on existing and surrounding development 3.1.11 Rezone R2&R2CZ—Devonshire School Page 5 of 5 143 Request to rezone approximately 8.47 acres from "R-2" One and Two Family Residence District to --... : e F- "R-1 ,R-P" Planned Residence District 9 ` _- wrri ,=* j i i °'lik 14 . z ,.: _,__%, : ___,6 __ lv-,_--*, _ _ -- ;64,;44-_, � - Pioneer Road arrx F. _ .

From: Cfd1971@aol.com [mailto:Cfd1971@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, March 06, 2011 6:29 PM To: Mayor@Waterloo-ia.org; quentin.hart@waterloo-ia.org; david.jones.wardl@gmail.com; Carolyn Cole; harcarge@aol.com; rjgrx@aol.com; sschmitt@schmitthouse.com Cc: cfd1971@aol.com Subject: Possible Devonshire School Development To all, I'm writing to express my concerns about making a water problem worse in the Devonshire/Delane area of Waterloo. There has already been an elderly housing development off of Ansborough Avenue, which has already taken a great deal of watershed area away and diverted it towards the creek that runs under Delane Street. As you look at an aerial picture of this housing area, you can readily see that there isn't much grass remaining to soak up the water. It is basically all roofs, concrete driveways, and actual roadways, which is causing additional water run-off. I have already been told by both the City Engineering Department and Zoning Department that the houses on Devonshire directly off Ansborough behind this housing development have already experienced water problems since this housing has been built. And now I understand there is to be further development in the Devonshire School property, which my home and property is physically located on the down hill side of. Thus I am extremely concerned about this additional development forcing more water down towards my house and creating more water problems in this area. As you know, of course, there is already been long standing water problems in this specific area, and City Zoning and Engineering are well aware of this problem also. To further add to my concern and worry about water, the 100 year flood plan has recently been redone and now includes both my house and entire property. Previously before the plan was re- worked, it only took in the back corner of my property, and my house itself was NOT in it. The re-worked flood plan also includes more of my neighbor's houses than before. So overall this new flood plan now includes more area and homes in both the Jane Street area and the Delane Street area. As of now during heavy rainfall, it does back up some in the low lying areas of the Devonshire School yard property, which I had understood was designed this way to actually help off-set the water and flooding problem. However, now if they raise the land up higher in the Devonshire School area for new development to get it out of the "flood plane", they are taking the water shed area plus its back-up overflow on the school yard away and definitely pushing the water towards me on the other side of the creek. I thought you couldn't change the flow of water to push it on other people's property and homes. This is my major concern and worry. If this new development is done, we definitely need some help from the city to protect our homes and property from greater related water problems. What should undoubtedly be done if this new development moves forward, then at least half of the Devonshire school yard should be dug out deeper to make a "holding pond"for this overflow water. In addition, the Waterloo Memorial Park Cemetery where the creek also runs on its property edge should also have a "holding pond"area. With 2 holding ponds in place would possibly take care of flooding in the Jane/Delane/Devonshire area. I'm also concerned about creating sewer back-up problems in this area if the new development is done. Please consider these above concerns to help the home-owners in this area so our homes, property, and 3/7/2011 Page 2 of 2 re-sale values are not damaged or hurt. Thank you. Daryl Courtney 618 Jane Street Waterloo, IA 3/7/2011 R-1, RP - School sites ❑ The R-1 RP will allow for more neighborhood input for future development of sites: requiring a hearing by Planning Commission and then to City Council for development of sites and approval of site plans o The R-1 RP will allow for greater review and conditions by staff for specific conditions to each site, such as drainage concerns, house design, lot layout, etc. for each site not regulated by normal zoning district guidelines ❑ The City's goal is to make each site redevelopment the best housing, best design, best layout for each neighborhood, to help uplift each neighborhood with new development ❑ Tonight's rezoning does not guarantee any development on any of the sites yet, as some sites may be suitable for park features, while most have been recommended for not having parks in them due to the presence of parks and open spaces nearby ❑ The overall goal of the rezoning action is to help improve surrounding neighborhoods, help preserve and enhance property values of surrounding homes, and help ensure that redevelopment is done properly Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity March 28, 2011 Linda Morgan, 235 9946 directorAheartlandhfh.org - www.heartlandhfh.orq Recent economic reports show that Black Hawk County tied for the highest poverty rate in the state of Iowa at 17.3 % . That translates into 21,437 people in families whose income for a family of four is $21,756 or less. The same report stated the average local income for Black Hawk County at $42,753 is the lowest of all nine of Iowa's major population centers. Because of these lower incomes, the need for affordable housing options is extreme in Black Hawk County. Iowa Heartland Habitat for Humanity provides these housing options with our affordable home ownership program. In our 21 years of building, we have worked with over 100 families with annual incomes between $14,000 - $34,000 to achieve a better life by building and owning an affordable home. In achieving this goal of affordable homeownership, the results are profound and wide-reaching: • Communities are nurtured and improved • Vacant property is returned to the local tax rolls • Family finances are stabilized and the • Educational outcomes of children rise dramatically. Habitat has built 59 homes in Waterloo and 7 more will be completed this year. Habitat homes are built on city in-fill lots and so far in 5 neighborhoods. We want to add the Old Irving site as another neighborhood of Habitat homes. Habitat is working now with the Waterloo Schools, Waterloo Community Development Board, County supervisors and a local bank on several funding proposals to start redevelopment work on the Old Irving School site. Habitat will: • prepare the site for redevelopment into 16 building sites — 60 ft width • upgrade and connect the city water and sewer connections and • develop a backyards area of green space and rain gardens. Partners in development plans for the New Village of homes that will enhance and complement the older, urban neighborhood will include: • the local neighborhood associations and neighborhood homeowners • the City of Waterloo, • the Waterloo School District, • Struxture Architects and the • Iowa Heartland Habitat Planning Team With the re-zoning plans the City Council is considering, Habitat is concerned that we will be priced out of building homes because of additional building requirements. We are committed to razing the school and redeveloping the site into single family homes that will enhance and upgrade the neighborhood. With R2 zoning, Habitat can build affordable, single family homes but with R1 and RP zoning; it will be much more difficult for Habitat to build at this location — especially when we don't even know what those requirements will be. Because of the additional costs of asbestos abatement, and demolition of the Old Irving school, any extra building restrictions will make redevelopment of this site impractical for any developer. Is there any developer that has a plan to tear down the school, develop the site and build 16 homes? Habitat has started a development plan for Old Irving site and will make it happen over the next three years if we can get started. Our track record has been proven. Ask Rudy Jones or any other member of the Community Development Board. What other developer has built or rehabbed 60 homes in urban Waterloo in the past 20 years? Please assure us that Habitat will be able to build affordable homes with families in all Waterloo neighborhoods where families want to live and specifically now at the Old Irving School site by keeping the R2 zoning in place.

BHCGA APPLICATION NARRATIVE WATERLOO PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING PROJECT A. State problem addressed by the project or program and describe the need for service. The floods of June 2008 caused multiple public work departments within the City of Waterloo to relocate operations. This relocation effort included sandbagging operations, vehicle and equipment repair, fuel distribution site closure (which supports city, county and school) and street maintenance. B. Describe the goals and objectives of the project or program. The goal of this project is to relocate public work operations away from flood prone areas and take advantage of the opportunity to centralize all public work operations into one location. C. Describe the nature of the service to be offered and the activities which will be conducted to carry out the project or program. The new Public Works Building will house six (6) public work departments, provide work space and vehicle storage for two (2) other departments. The vehicle storage capability within this facility will free up significant parking in and around City Hall and eliminate City owned vehicles from parking under the Hwy 218 bridge. D. Provide the beginning and ending dates for this project or program. The current timeline for this project is bid opening May 16, 2011, construction start in summer of 2011 and estimated completion in the summer of 2012. E. Provide estimates of the number of people to be served by this project or program. Eight City of Waterloo Public Work Departments will operate from the Public Works Building. This consists of approximately eighty (80) full time employees and the Public Work services originating from this building will affect every household in the City of Waterloo. F. Describe how you will evaluate the success of the project or program. Success of this building project will be determined by the ability to provide seamless interaction between Public Work Departments and their ability to provide citizen services. The ability to share resources, consolidate administrative functions and operate in a much "greener" and more energy efficient facility will all prove beneficial to the City. G. If this project or program is ongoing, what are future sources of revenue to support this proposal. This building will be used for many decades. The Public Works operational budget will cover regular maintenance and utilities. As funding permits, bid alternates will be introduced into the site to further streamline operations. BHCGA APPLICATION NARRATIVE WATERLOO PUBLIC WORKS BUILDING PROJECT Mission Statement: The consolidated Public Works concept is new to the City of Waterloo and an effective Mission Statement has yet to be adopted. The Central Garage Department is dedicated to provide the vehicles and equipment necessary for City Departments to provide expected citizen services. Public works includes the streets, traffic signalization and signs that we use in our everyday lives. Recognition: The Black Hawk County Gaming Association and/or the Isle of Capri Casino and Hotel could be recognized in many ways for its contributions. These could include: • Recognition at televised City Council meeting at the time of grant award • A press release announcing the award • Recognition on the City website • Plaque within the building to indicate grant award RESOLUTION NO. 2011-227 RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION TO BLACK HAWK COUNTY GAMING ASSOCIATION FOR GRANT FUNDING AND DIRECTING EXECUTION OF SAID APPLICATION BY MAYOR.

Our initial Ward 5 y goal was to use existing Economic Development Initiative (EDI) funds to demolish all these BOB structures and leave the lots vacant, but with the potential to acquire NSP3 funds, we will be GREENWOOD able to rehabilitate and sell units to qualified homebuyers. We would like to make At-Large application to rehabilitate up to 5 units for the purpose of selling them to low and moderate STEVE income households. We also will be demolishing 5-10 blighted housing units the city owns SCHMITT within the target area. At-Large Expenditure Required: None Source of Funds: N/A Policy Issue: Affordable Housing, Elimination of Slum and Blight and Neighborhood Redevelopment.

Summary Statement Currently new single-family dwellings and additions are based on a square footage calculation. This would eliminate the square footage calculations method that we are currently using. Expenditure Required Making this change should have a positive affect on our revenue source with an estimated increased revenue of$10,000 to $15,000. Source of Funds Policy Issue Alternative Background Information: This change would help align us with other Cities in the area and show the actual cost of construction in Waterloo, instead of a square footage calculation from June 2003.

I have read the Funding Guidelines & Procedures document. _ (INITIAL) 9. You must list a title and brief description of the project/program for which funding is requested in the space below. (In addition, a one-page addendum describing your proposal in more detail may be attached.) Include in this description how this project will provide property tax relief, capital improvements and/or charitable services. Virden Creek Levee Improvements This capital improvement project is to raise the height of the Virden Creek levees from Highway 63 to E. 4th St./Gates Park to meet FEMA levee certification requirements. This will keep the levees shown on the flood insurance rate maps, so that property owners in the area won't have to purchase flood insurance. Required Signatures: Eric Thorson Applicant's Name (PRINT) Ernest G. Clark Chief Executive Officer(PRINT) Chairperson of Board of Directors (PRINT) Chief Executive Officer (SIGNATURE) Chairperson of Board of Directors (SIGNATURE) ADDENDUM VIRDEN CREEK LEVEE IMPROVEMENTS In October of 2005, FEMA determined that all entities owning or maintaining a levee system be required to certify that the levees meet certain design requirements. If after an engineering review the levees were determined to meet the requirements,they would be shown on the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). If the levees did not meet the requirements, the levees would be removed from the FIRMs and property owners would then be required to purchase flood insurance. The FIRMs are used to determine what properties lie in the 100 year flood plain and would be required to have flood insurance. The City of Waterloo contracted with AECOM of Waterloo to review the levees along the Cedar River,Black Hawk Creek and Virden Creek. AECOM was able to show that the levees along the Cedar River and Black Hawk Creek met the design requirements that were established by FEMA. The levees along the Cedar River and Black Hawk Creek will continue to be shown on the FIRMs. Unfortunately, the levee along Virden Creek between Highway 63 and E. 4th Street/Gates Park, does not meet the requirements as established by FEMA. The levee along this section of Virden Creek is not tall enough. It has been determined that the levee must be raised in height by three feet in order to meet FEMA requirements. The City has until October 2012 to complete construction of the additional height on the levee and submit the engineering analysis to FEMA so that the levees along Virden Creek will continue to be shown on the FIRMs. If the City does not complete the construction and submit the information to FEMA,the levees will be removed from the FIRMs and a large portion of the north side of Waterloo will be placed into the flood plain. Once this happens, lending institutions will require flood insurance in order to get a loan on a piece of property. Virden Creek Levee Improvements Expenses: Construction: $1,200,000.00 Contingency: $240,000.00 Design: $158,400.00 CRS: $101,600.00 Total Estimated Design and Construction Expenses:$1,700,000.00 Revenues: G.O. Bond Funds: $850,000.00 BHCGA Funds Request: $850,000.00 Total Funding: $1,700,000.00 Narrative A. State problem addressed by the project or program and describe the need for service. This project will address the FEMA requirement to raise the height of the Virden Creek levees so that they are certified and can continue to be shown on the flood insurance rate maps. B. Describe the goals and objectives of the project or program. The purpose of this project is to raise the height of the levees so that surrounding area property owners will not have to purchase flood insurance. C. Describe the nature of the service to be offered and the activities which will be conducted to carry out the project or program. The Virden Creek levees will be designed and constructed to be three feet higher to provide better flood protection and to meet FEMA requirements. D. Provide the beginning and ending dates for this project or program. The project design would begin as soon as funding is available with construction following and completion by September 2012. E. Provide estimates of the number of people to be served by this project or program. If this project is not completed, over three thousand (3000) property owners would eventually have to purchase flood insurance. F. Describe how you will evaluate the success of the project or program. FEMA will review the work and will concur that standards are met and that the levees can continue to be shown on the flood insurance rate maps. G. If this project or program is ongoing, what are future sources of revenue to support this proposal. This is a one-time capital improvements project and is not ongoing. However, the City is required to maintain the flood control system by the Corps of Engineers and will continue to do so as it has in the past. Mission Statement The mission of the Engineering Department is to provide engineering and public improvements in the most economical manner.

Company shall take all steps necessary or advisable to complete the purchase of the Property and to obtain marketable title thereto as promptly as possible. 2. Improvements by Company. Company shall construct on the Property a building consisting of approximately 3,520 square feet, and related landscape and parking (the "Improvements"). The Improvements shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable City, state, and federal building codes and shall comply with all applicable City ordinances. It is contemplated that the taxable value of the land and building upon completion will be approximately $260,000.00.

Timeliness of Construction. The parties agree that Company's commitment to undertake the Project and to construct the Improvements in a timely manner constitutes a material inducement for the City to convey the Property, or to cause the Property to be conveyed, to Company and that without said commitment City would not done so. Company must obtain a building permit and begin construction within four (4) months from the date the Property is deeded to it, and construction shall be completed by August 30, 2011.

If development has commenced within the four-month period or any extended period and is stopped and/or delayed as a result of an act of God, war, civil disturbance, court order, labor dispute, fire, or other cause beyond the reasonable control of Company, the requirement that construction is to be completed by August 30, 2011 shall be tolled for a period of time equal to the period of such stoppage or delay, and thereafter if construction is not completed within the allowed period of extension the title to the Property shall revert to the City after the end of said period. In the event of any reversion of title, Company agrees that it shall, at its own expense, promptly execute all documents, including but not limited to a special warranty deed, or take such other actions as the City may reasonably request to effectuate said reversion, and Company further agrees that it shall indemnify and hold harmless the City with respect to any demand, claim, cause of action, damage, or injury made, suffered, or incurred as a result of or in connection with the Project, or Company's failure to carry on or complete same, or Company's ownership of the Property. If the City files suit to enforce the terms of this Section 3 and prevails in such suit, then the Company shall be liable for all of the City's legal expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees. 4. Water and Sewer. Company will be responsible for extending water and sewer service to any location on the Property and for payment of any associated connection fees. 2 5.

It was moved by Burris, seconded by Potter, that Terry Kuntz be elected Chairman of the Waterloo Water Works Board of Trustees. Motion carried. It was moved by Kuntz, seconded by Potter, that Rodger Burris be elected Vice- Chairman of the Waterloo Water Works Board of Trustees. Motion carried The 2011 Water Main Replacement Project is being let in conjunction with the City of Waterloo's FY 2011 Street Reconstruction Program. The City of Waterloo is acting as the overall contracting authority. The Notice of Public Hearing for the project was published in the Courier on March 4, 2011. Bids from contractors will be received, opened and read aloud at the Waterloo City Council Meeting at 5:30 p.m. on April 4, 2011. This year's project includes one large section of 12-inch water main replacement on Ridgeway Avenue, between Oregon Street and Ohio Street. The project also includes two connection sections to eliminate several dead ends, resulting in system strengthening, increased fire flows and improved reliability. The connection sections include a short extension of 16-inch water main on the University Avenue frontage road in front of Beck's Sport Brewery and an 8-inch main extension on Sager Avenue, from Deloris Drive to Westland Avenue. The majority of main breaks in the Water Works system are caused by corrosion. The areas most frequently suffering from breaks are the Castle Hill area, the area of Waterloo north of San Marnan and west of LaPorte Road, and the area generally around Central Middle School. Other smaller pockets of increased breakage exist as well. In 2006, the Water Works began a program of replacing water main in the Castle Hill area, in conjunction with the City of Waterloo's annual Street Reconstruction Project. The program has continued each year since 2006, focusing on streets that are included in the City Street Reconstruction Project. Replacing the water mains in conjunction with the Street Reconstruction Project benefits the residents, the City of Waterloo and Water Works, and will improve project coordination, scheduling, logistics and economics. The 2011 Capital Budget includes $535,380 for water main replacement/connection projects, including remaining costs for the 2010 project. Completion of the 2010 project in 2011 will cost approximately $217,275. The remaining available line item budget for the 2011 water main replacement/connection project is the sum of $318,105. The engineer's estimate for the contracted portion of the 2011 water main replacement/connection project is the sum of $275, 928. Costs against the 2010 and the 2011 projects include engineering, design, pre-reconstruction work, the work contracted through the City project, geotechnical testing and contingencies. All engineering and design work is being done in-house with minimal capital cost to the Water Works. Pre-reconstruction work will be completed by the Water Works Distribution Department and by hired contractors. Water Works staff and a geotechnical testing agency will provide construction review for compliance with specifications. 288 The following documents were provided to the Board of Trustees: • Proof of Publication of Notice of Public Hearing • Plan cover sheet with water main quantities • Engineer's Estimate It was moved by Burris, seconded by Kuntz and unanimously approved to receive and place on file Proof of Publication of Notice of Public Hearing for the 2011 Street Reconstruction Program — Division II Water Main Replacement Project. Chairman Kuntz announced that it was time for the public hearing for the 2011 Street Reconstruction Program — Division II Water Main Replacement Project. There being no written comments on file and no oral comments, it was moved by Burris, seconded by Kuntz and unanimously approved to close the public hearing. It was moved by Burris, seconded by Potter and unanimously approved to confirm approval of bid documents, plans, specifications, etc. It was moved by Burris, seconded by Potter and unanimously approved to proceed with the project. It was moved by Burris, seconded by Potter and unanimously approved to receive and place on file the bids as they will be opened and read aloud on April 4, 2011 at the Waterloo City Council Meeting. It was moved by Kuntz, seconded by Burris and unanimously approved to preliminarily authorize the City of Waterloo's award of the contract for 2011 Street Reconstruction Program — Division it Water Main Replacement Project and to authorize the General Manager to execute the appropriate contract documents, if the bids are 120 percent or less of the remaining budgeted amount of$318,105.00. As previously discussed, the design of the 2011 Street Reconstruction Program with the Division II Water Main Replacement Project has been completed, with a tentative bid date of April 4, 2011. The project is being let in conjunction with the City of Waterloo's 2011 Street Reconstruction Project. It will be in the best interest of the Waterloo Water Works and the City of Waterloo to contract the work as a joint project, saving cost and time in coordination, scheduling, logistics and contract administration. The contracting authority for the joint street reconstruction and water main replacement project will be the City of Waterloo. The City will enter into a contract with the construction contractor for both phases of the project, including the replacement of Waterloo Water Works water main. It is appropriate to have a written agreement stating that both parties wish to participate in this venture and that the Waterloo Water Works will reimburse the City of Waterloo for costs associated with the main extension work. A copy of the proposed agreement between the City of Waterloo and the Waterloo Water Works was provided to the Board for discussion. The agreement covers the reasons for the agreement as well as the financing, area covered and duration of the agreement. It is was moved by Burris, seconded by Kuntz and unanimously approved to adopt the Agreement between the City of Waterloo and the Waterloo Water Works for the 2011 Street Reconstruction Program — Division II Water Main Replacement Project and to authorize the Board Chairman and the General Manager to sign the agreement. 289 The engineering and design work for the 2011 Pavement Repairs Project is underway. The annual paving repair project has trended larger in size over the last few years, based on the number and severity of main breaks. In 2004, the annual paving patch contract totaled $38,637.20, in 2005 totaled $14,496.75, in 2006 totaled $100,131.90, in 2007 totaled $133,384.05, in 2008 totaled $114,733.03, in 2009 totaled $146,138.00, and in 2010 totaled $119,549.55. In addition, Water Works staff places temporary pavement patches and the material costs are charged to the budget line item. The 2011 Water Works budget line item for pavement repairs is $140,000.00. A recent tabulation of the scheduled 2011 repairs, in addition to additional repairs generated from future main breaks this year, indicates the possibility of using the entire budgeted amount for pavement repairs in 2011. It was moved by Burris, seconded by Kuntz and unanimously approved to instruct the General Manager to prepare plans, specifications, form of contract, etc. It was moved by Burris, seconded by Kuntz and unanimously approved to adopt a resolution to preliminarily approve plans, specifications, form of contract, etc. It was moved by Burris, seconded by Kuntz and unanimously approved to adopt a resolution to instruct the General Manager to publish notice of plans, specifications, form of contract, etc., taking of bids and set date of public hearing as April 20, 2011 for the 2011 Pavement Repairs Project. In March 2008, the Water Works awarded a three-year, 2008-2009-2010, contract for mowing, trimming and trash removal at the seven well and tower sites. The sites vary in size from 1 to 28.5 acres, covering 42.6 acres in total. The most recent three-year contract was awarded to B & B Lawn Care, Inc., for a total price per mowing of $940 for all areas. The average annual cost of the contract over the last three years was $15,017.00. It was moved by Kuntz, seconded by Burris and approved to proceed with the bidding process for mowing, trimming and trash removal of our seven sites. Claassen Engineering, Inc., of Waterloo, Iowa, the engineer working on behalf of developer Landmark Commons/Friendship Village, is requesting authorization to install a 12-inch main extension on Maxhelen Boulevard and an 8-inch water main extension on Loop Road, to serve the Landmark Commons Phase 2 Development in Waterloo. Total extension footage is approximately 490 feet of 12-inch water main and approximately 302 feet of 8-inch water main. The engineer has designed the water main improvements to meet the specifications and requirements of the Waterloo Water Works. The developer will construct the improvements under review by the developer's engineer. After completion, the developer's engineer will be required to provide the Water Works with certification that the project was built according to the contract documents, as well as providing as-built drawings, with tie out dimensions and Iowa State plan GPS coordinates for all critical items. Upon review and acceptance of these closeout items, the developer will request the main extension be accepted with ownership and operation assumed by the Waterloo Water Works. The developer shall cover all costs associated with the water main extensions, including engineering and design, construction administration and review, all related construction costs and project closeout costs. It was moved by Kuntz, seconded by Burris and unanimously approved to authorize the water main extension and plans, subject to satisfactory review by Waterloo Water Works staff, for the water main extension to serve the Landmark Commons Phase 2 Development. On December 14, 2009, the Waterloo City Council approved a storm water user fee for Waterloo properties. The first Water Work bills with the storm water user fee were mailed on February 5, 2010 for properties in billing control number 06. Rules and Regulations Section 1.2 authorizes a form of contract for water meter, water service, sewer service and garbage collection. The contract does not include a provision for a storm water user fee. A copy of the current Section 1.2 was distributed to the Board. 290 The contract requires a customer to pay the entire bill for all services, without the option to exclude a particular service. It is appropriate to revise the contract to include language regarding the storm water user fee. It was moved by Kuntz, seconded by Potter, to adopt the following resolution: Section 1.2 Form of Contract for Water Service RESOLUTION WHEREAS, the Application Contract for Water Meter, Water Service, Sewer Service, Garbage Collection and Storm Water Fee is signed by customers who may be an owner, agent for owner, or tenant for the purpose of obtaining utility service and agreeing to pay for said service. WHEREAS, all customers from the establishment of the Waterloo Water Works on January 12, 1910 have signed a contract which includes agreement to be responsible for, and pay all water rents for the property or properties under contract. WHEREAS, a revision to the contract will provide a better understanding that water service may be discontinued at any or all accounts unless all utility payments are made.

A copy of the current Section 2.11 was distributed to the Board. Some of the provisions of the tap requirements are in need of revision and the modifications have been made on the resolution shown below. It was moved by Burris, seconded by Potter, to adopt the following resolution: Section 2.11 Tap Charge RESOLUTION BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED, that service tap charges be as follows: 3/" and 1" - $70.00; 1%4", 1'h"' and 2" - $80.00; and that 4" to 12" taps be made for a tap fee as shown on the following schedule. 2011 Schedule of Side Tap Charges Effective March 16, 2011 Main Tap Tap Main Tap Tap Size Size Fee Size Size Fee 6" 4" $265.00 12" 4" $330.00 6" 6" $265.00 12" 6" $360.00 12" 8" $385.00 8" 4" $265.00 12" 12" $425.00 8" 6" $275.00 8" 8" $305.00 16" 4" $330.00 16" 6" $375.00 10" 4" $285.00 16" 8" $425.00 10" 6" $305.00 16" 12" $455.00 10" 8" $360.00 20" Prices for taps on 20" water main will be the same as the corresponding 16" tap fee.

The tap charge may be charged with approved credit, or be paid in advance to the Waterloo Water Works.

On vote: Ayes: Kuntz, Burris, Potter. Nays: None. Absent: None. Resolution adopted. The Board of Trustees last approved modifications to the Curb Stop and Pave Box Repair Rules and Regulations in December 2000. Since that time, the repair procedures have been modified to increase the opportunity for Water Works customers to remain in service after repairs have been made. The current Rules and Regulations Section 5.3 Curb Stop and Pave Box Repair was distributed to the Board. The current procedures of the Water Works vary from those listed above. Rather than sending out two letters, the first letter to the property owner is mailed certified return receipt. A majority of customers hire their own plumber to make repairs. If the repairs are not made, either the Water Works makes the repairs, or a plumber is hired to make the repair, followed by a bill to the property owner for the repair amount. The Water Works attempts to make payment arrangements with the property owner for repair of the pave box/curb stop. If the property owner does not pay the bill for the repair of the pave box/curb stop, the Water Works will, at its discretion, discontinue the water service at the property or any property for which the property owner has similarly contracted; or assess the cost of the repair of the pave box/curb stop to the property taxes of the property with the repaired pave box/curb stop. It was moved by Kuntz, seconded by Burris, to adopt the following resolution: Section 5.3 Curb Stop and Pave Box Repair RESOLUTION WHEREAS, a customer shall at their own expense keep their water service line from the point of connection with the Waterloo Water Works water main to their premises, and all their apparatus, in good working order and properly protected from frost and other danger. WHEREAS, a pave box and curb stop is an integral part of the water service line, which must be maintained in good working order. WHEREAS, an inoperable or inaccessible pave box/curb stop is usually discovered at the time of discontinuance of water service, either at the customer's request or for Waterloo Water Works procedures. WHEREAS, it is imperative to the customer and to the Waterloo Water Works to have an accessible pave box and curb stop in good working order. WHEREAS, all customers from the establishment of the Waterloo Water Works on January 12, 1910 have signed a contract to abide by and comply with all rules and regulations governing consumers. 293 THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that effective March 16, 2011, when a pave box/curb stop is found to be defective or inaccessible, the following shall be applicable. The Waterloo Water Works will notify a property owner by certified mail return receipt to make repairs to the pave box/curb stop. If the repairs are not made within four weeks of the notification, the Waterloo Water Works will cause the repairs to be made to the pave box/curb stop. The Waterloo Water Works will then bill the property owner for the repairs caused by the Waterloo Water Works. The property owner may either pay the bill in full, or make payment arrangements with the credit department of the Waterloo Water Works. If a timely full payment, or agreed to partial payments, are not received as invoiced, the Waterloo Water Works will, at its discretion, discontinue the water service at the property, or any property for which the property owner has similarly contracted; or assess the cost of the repair of the pave box/curb stop to the property taxes of the property with the repaired pave box/curb stop, per Waterloo Water Works Rules and Regulations and Waterloo City Ordinance 8-2-1. On vote: Ayes: Kuntz, Burris, Potter. Nays: None. Absent: None. Resolution adopted. On March 7, 2011, a Water Works employee was involved in an accident with truck #17 at the intersection of Greenhill Road and Rainbow Drive. Both drivers claim that they had a green light, even though the driver of the other vehicle told our driver that she was looking at her GPS (probably on a smart phone) at the time of the accident. There were no witnesses and the police accident report was not able to determine fault. The Water Works does not carry collision insurance on its vehicles. Since no fault was determined, the Water Works will have to pay the cost of the repairs to truck #17. Truck #17 is a 2007 Ford F-150 with over 53,000 miles. The value of the truck prior to the accident was approximately $7,000. Estimates to repair the truck range from $11,751 .41 to $12,414.67. Informal bids were solicited to replace the truck. The bid results are as follows: 1/2 -Ton Pickup Trade-in Allowance Bidder Bid Price for Truck #17 Total Bid Price Bill Colwell Ford $15,730.00 $2,675.00 $13,055.00 Witham Auto Center $16,207.00 $2,400.00 $13,807.00 Dan Deery Motor Co. $19,644.00 $ 500.00 $19,144.00 The 2011 capital budget includes $36,000 for vehicles and miscellaneous post-purchase accessories, including warning lights, toolboxes, radio mounts, etc. It was moved by Burris, seconded by Potter and unanimously approved to authorize the trade-in of truck #17 to, and the purchase of one '/2-ton 2-wheel drive pickup from, Bill Colwell Ford of Hudson, Iowa, as the lowest and best bid. The following items were reported by management: The water pumpage information for February 2011 was 0.48% more than February 2010. Water pumpage for the first two months of 2011 was 1.18% less than the first two months of 2010. The current market value of the Pension Fund as of February 28, 2011 is the sum of$4,110,741.56, including one employee's personal balance of $30,406.17 held by the paying agent. The value of the fund increased $129,490.35 in the last month and $340,267.46 year to date. The Waterloo Water Works has made contributions of $223,934.03 to the plan in 2011. Employees have made contributions of $6,102.31 to the plan in 2011. Year to date fees are the sum of $6,557.49, year to date payments to retirees are the sum of$54,509.90, and the year to date yield of the fund is +4.54 percent. 294 Historical Trustee and General Manager progression, current and recent Trustee terms, and Trustee contact information was distributed to the Board. A list of several major projects and initiatives currently underway or planned for 2011 was presented to the Board. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, April 20, 2011 at 8:00 a.m. Upon motion, the meeting was adjourned at 9:36 a.m. BOARD OF TRUSTEES Secretary • 3 o N SM N p N �I Z co j co soN ° N m m 3 O ..G C o o. m- ZO : * * * * * * 0 C. *7 D n -I m o d c — 0 n) �o 73 - 0o o -rl 3 y � w o U) D - D m -� > 0 s `, o m w rn CD X X -, m O 0 < 0rn o a 7 e 0 dv o.
