PUBLIC COMMENTS
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, commented that he would like to address the Katoski Road
reconstruction program. He commented that after the road was in, he noticed several city workers
removing a section of the road and grinding on the cement. He explained that a semi could not
complete the turn due to the way the road was constructed. He added that he has been working with
some council members on this issue. It could cost $30,000 to $100,000 to repair this engineering
oversight. He further commented that the stop signs that have been installed on Shaulis Road are
used stop signs that cost the citizens $600 each. He encouraged the council to watch these expenses.
Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, thanked Mr. Dillavou for speaking on his topics and that allowing
citizens to speak on issues that matter to them leads to a healthy Waterloo. He explained that he had
previously advocated for a return to weekly council meetings. He wants to also make sure that the
podium is available to people that may have not registered to speak by 4:00 p.m. He noted that the
first Monday in February on even years is caucus night and is important in the election process. He
asked that city council meetings not be held on caucus night in the future. He commented on the
number of special sessions being held, in particular, discussion of the reevaluation of the grocery
store. He said the city should revert to having weekly meetings to avoid these issues. He stated that
he did not see anything in the minutes regarding the grocery store and questioned the reason for the
delay on the project and if it is because the development is not in accordance with state code.
Noel Anderson, Community Planning and Development Director, commented that there are no
further actions required for the All -In Grocers project to proceed. The steel has been delivered to the
site so they should be moving forward with the construction. The attorneys have reviewed the
validity of the development agreement and it has been found that we are in compliance with state
code.
Mr. Feuss commented on public comments and noted that Title 1 of the code will be reviewed. He
offered an opportunity for anyone to speak for three minutes on any one topic not on the agenda.
Mr. Boesen shared that a postcard was mailed out about the broadband survey and the importance of
participating. He explained that the public could participate via the city website if they do not have a
smart phone to scan the QR Code. He questioned if the city has applied for the officer retention
grant through the State of Iowa
Chief Fitzgerald confirmed and shared that officers are eligible for $1,000 retention bonus.
Mr. Boesen questioned the status of the RFID and Routeware.
Randy Bennett, Public Works Division Manager, explained there are a couple of areas that are 50 to
60 percent complete, but as far as reading every route and the trucks functioning, yes, that is
working.
Mr. Boesen questioned if a citizen has an issue with collections, how should a citizen go about
contesting the issue.

Randy Bennett explained how the technology works and that when a citizen calls with a concern,
staff is able to provide a snapshot photo of the issue.
Mr. Boesen questioned if there are any maintenance issues with Routeware.
Randy Bennett commented on a few additional costs the city has incurred through the rollout
process.
Mr. Boesen questioned if there has been an increase in expenses with maintenance or software
issues.
Randy Bennett shared that Waterloo is not the first community to implement this technology and the
company has been a good partner through the hiccups they have come across through
implementation.
Mr. Feuss questioned if there is a way to notify the homeowner that their trash has not been
collected.
Randy Bennett confirmed and explained the process.
Mr. Feuss questioned if there is a way to proactively notify the resident, through a text message for
example, that their trash was not picked up.

Avenue (former Edison School site), as published in the Waterloo Courier on February 11, 2022, be
received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor Pro Tem called for written and oral
comments.
Steve Harvey, 610 Englewood Avenue, expressed support for the project. He believes that the
homes will be a great addition to the neighborhood, will blend in, and be positive impact to the
community.
Tina King, 839 Knoll Avenue, also supports the project.
Lisa Skubal, Grow Cedar Valley, commented on the economic value of this development.
Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, shared that he believes that this will be a good
development. He questioned the location of the Park.
Nick Brewer, Engineer, Panther Builders, confirmed that the park will extend from the alley way all
the way to the street.
Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, explained that this should be the final layout of the park,
which is just over 2 acres. They are working with Community Development and other sources for
funding to make this park become a reality.
Jay Hileman, 641 Evergreen, commented that he is in agreement with the project but does have some
concerns. He questioned why the planned lots are so small. He commented that 40-foot wide lots
are the smallest in the neighborhood. He noted that the residents on Kirkwood use the alleyway to
access their properties and this could cause an issue for them.
Janet Collins, 538 Magnolia Parkway, commented that her biggest concern is the width of the lots.
She would love to expand her home to accommodate her growing family, but cannot because she
lacks the space. The homes are too close and you can hear everything going on in the house next -
door. She loves the area and would like to see people to stay, not move away after they begin having
children and need to move to a larger property.
Rachel Neil, 1056 Evergreen Avenue, commented that she is the Edison Neighborhood Association
President and shared the neighborhoods excitement for this development. The neighborhood has
been sitting at a stall point since the Edison school came down and left the neighborhood feel like
there is just a hole there. These homes will be an excellent addition and will revive the
neighborhood.
Kevin Fittro, Panther Builders, explained that they have worked with Engineering to ensure the
streets will perform from a storm water standpoint. He commented that they are excited to be
partnering with the City of Waterloo to bring something like this to the community.
Kelley Felchle, City Clerk, read an email from Ben Neil, 1056 Evergreen Avenue, expressing his
complete support of the project as he believes this is exactly what the neighborhood wants. Ms.
Felchle also read an email from Amy Heichel, 625 Magnolia Parkway, who has lived in the
neighborhood since 2010 and supports the development of single-family homes in this
neighborhood.
Todd Obadal, 124 Amity Drive, commented that he also supports the project. He asked that the
rules not be suspended on the readings of the ordinance so that the voice of the people can be heard.
February 21, 2022 Page 8
He further commented on his concerns about drainage and run-off and how that will affect the
existing homes in the neighborhood, as well as the new homes.
Paul Huting, Leisure Services Director, commented that the Leisure Services Commission is in
support of the project.
106968 - Nichols/Amos
that the hearing be closed and oral and written comments and recommendation of approval of the
Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, be received and placed on file. Voice vote -Ayes:
Seven. Motion carried.
106969 - Nichols/Amos
that "an ordinance amending Ordinance No. 5079, as amended, City of Waterloo Zoning Ordinance,
by amending the Official Zoning Map referred to in Section 10-4-4, approving a Site Plan Amendment
to the "R-1,R-P" Planned Residence District and "C-P" Planned Commercial District for the
construction of thirty-two (32) single-family homes, located West of 420 Harwood Avenue (former
Edison School site)", be received, placed on file, considered and passed for the first time. Roll call
vote -Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
Mr. Nichols requested an overview of the changes that have been made to sewer and gutter.
Jamie Knutson, City Engineer, provided an overview of the required changes and noted that the
developer would be providing detailed plans for staff review.
Mr. Boesen shared that in January he was not in support of this development and listed his reasons.
He stated that based on the assurances that these concerns will be addressed, he is in full support of
this project and rezoning. He questioned the timeframe on how long the alley will be torn up so that
the people that live on that street will have an idea how long they won't have access to their driveways
or garages. He also thanked Kevin Fittro and Panther Builders for listening to these concerns and
willingness to address these issues to move this project forward.
Kevin Fittro, Panther Builders, explained that the sewer/water development process would be done
prior to tearing up the street, so the estimated time to tear out and repave would be 2-3 weeks.
Mr. Boesen clarified that the work would be done east of the alley so it will not affect the people
during the infrastructure and they will only have minimal disruption.
Kevin Fittro confirmed.
Mr. Amos questioned the timeliness on moving forward with the project.
Kevin Fittro shared that their goal is to begin developing early in the spring, but they are willing to
defer to council's decision to suspend.
Mr. Grieder commented that he is in support of the development agreement. He stated that this
proposal fits well with the neighborhood. He added that smaller lots will fit with the needs of
millennial homebuyers and will be a benefit of the city as well.
Mr. Feuss shared that he understands the need to bring community and opportunity to neighborhoods
and that the council can say that the concerns of people were heard and addressed. He added that
families are smaller today and will meet the needs of people wanting to buy homes in Waterloo.
Ms. Wilder commented that when the development first came about, she reached out to various
residents for their input and she was initially concerned the development would not be right for the
neighborhood. However, with the recent outpouring of support for this and appreciation for Panther
Builders willingness to work to meet the concerns, she is in support of this project and believes it is
what the neighbors do want.
