Council Chambers
Members present: Mayor Rooff, Getty, Murphy, Jordan, Krizek, Gronen, Collier, Anders.
Moved by Jordan, seconded by Murphy that the Agenda, as proposed, be approved. Ayes:
Seven. Motion carried.
The proposed ordinance to adopt the 1997 Uniform Fire and Life Safety Codes was reviewed.
Fire Chief Frank Magsamen reported that the Fire Department has been using the 1994 Uniform
Fire and Life Safety Codes. There are very few changes, but it is important that we update our
ordinance and adopt the codes for insurance rates. The Life Safety Code deals with inside the
building and the Uniform Fire Code deals with outside the building. These codes regulate non-
residential businesses in the city under Chapter 14 of the City Code of Ordinances. Moved by
Getty, seconded by Krizek that the 1997 Uniform Fire and Life Safety Codes be adopted and the
ordinance be placed on the council agenda for approval. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
Rich Earles, Community Development Director, presented the Consolidated One -Year Action
Plan. Mr. Earles stated that last year Community Development Board set housing as the number
one priority. There are only three items in the plan that do not relate to housing: Neighbors
Helping Neighbors curb and gutter for funding in the amount of $120,000, Peoples Community
Health Clinic in the amount of $50,000 and Zone 10 of the Sidewalk Repair Program in the
amount of $150,000. The proposed funding for each program was reviewed. The applications
from Black Hawk Grundy Mental Health for funding in the amount of $100,000 and the Family &
Children's Council for funding in the amount of $3,654 were reviewed and the recommendation
of the Community Development Board was for zero funding. The applications were denied
because the city is focusing on housing, and these two programs did not meet .the criteria. Mayor
Rooff suggested that these two programs be referred to the Mayor's Youth Initiative Program.
Bruce Meisinger, Finance Manager, reviewed the proposed FY2000 Budget. Mr. Meisinger
reported that the 1998/FY2000 assessed valuation is $2,008,729,517 compared to
$2,023,129,399 for 1997/FY1999. After rollbacks of 56.4789 percent the increase in assessed
valuation is $13,686,375. The increase is lower due to the phase out of property tax on business
machinery and equipment and utility values have been lowered. The publication notice will be
published at $16.95 per one thousand dollars of valuation. Mr. Meisinger stated that staff is still
working on the budget and that the numbers could change. The proposed total budget is
$101,698,994. The budget includes Phase II of improvements to the Water Pollution Control
facilities in the amount of $14 million and improvements to the Waterloo Airport in the amount of
$2.8 million, and state and federal funds for Community Development. Mayor Rooff stated that
the cost for operations has stayed level
Another work session will be scheduled for Monday, March 8, 1999 on the budget.
With no further business before the council, it was moved by Getty, seconded by Jordan that the
meeting be adjourned at 6:07 p.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.

ORAL PRESENTATIONS
111621 - A teacher from Elk Run Heights stated that she would like everyone to give
one-half hour on Tuesday, March 2, 1999 to read with a child. Members of
the National Education Association, the American Library Association, Boys &
Girls Club of America, International Reading Association and other
organizations will be joining together in a nation-wide event to promote
reading called "Read Across America." On that day, area educators, school
board members and community leaders will be asked to visit a school and spend
a short time reading to elementary -age children. "Read Across America" is a
national celebration of Dr. Suess's birthday on March 2. She asked that a
proclamation be accepted promoting "Read Across America."
George Warren, 3638 Inverness Road and owner of Quality Inn, stated that he
has been contacted by hotel/motel owners regarding instituting the changes
necessary to separate the Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) from the
Waterloo Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Warren stated that the seven percent
hotel/motel tax was put into place to be used for tourism. Mr. Warren stated
that he might not always agree with everything CVB does, but that he has
faith,_::,=in Terry Poe-Buschkamp. Mr. Warren stated that he has known Gary
Plummer, President of the Chamber of Commerce, since his arrival in Waterloo.
Mr. Warren reported that he has spoken to the chamber regarding the amount of
rent CVB is paying the chamber. The agreement between the chamber and CVB
will make CVB a separate entity on January 1, 2000 and the chamber will no
longer receive rent from CVB. Mr. Warren stated that the recent action taken
by the chamber to terminate Ms. Buschkamp shows him that the chamber has
plans for the hotel/motel funds. Mr. Warren asked the council to exercise
Clause 10 in Resolution No. 1981-376 and give the Chamber of Commerce 90 days
notice to terminate the contract.
Mayor Rooff stated that he will have a meeting with the Chamber of Commerce
and it is the city's intent that the spirit of the agreement be honored.
Mayor Rooff stated that it is the city's goal to find the Chamber its own
place. Mayor Rooff reported that we would like to speed up the process, but
maybe not as fast as Mr. Warren would like.

theater downtown.

theaters: from ten to twelve. The addition will be to the rear of the
building along Crossroads Boulevard. The addition will be in conjunction
with other remodeling of existing auditoriums in the cinema. The new
auditoriums will be of bleacher design and will actually reduce the overall
seating capacity. The "S-1" classification requires that the parking at
Crossroads be shared by all the businesses.

ORDINANCES TO BE ADOPTED
111644 - Mayor Rooff stated that now was the time for the second reading on the
request of Esther Hess and Alabar Plaza, Inc. to rezone from "A-1"
Agricultural District to "M-1" Light Industrial District property generally
located northeasterly of the Hess and East Shaulis Roads intersection for the
proposed development of warehousing and industrial facilities.
March 1, 1999 Page 5
ORDINANCES TO BE ADOPTED CONTIUNED
Bill Claassen, Wayne Claassen Engineering and Surveying, Inc., submitted a
letter from Robert Wilson, Treasurer of Alabar Plaza, Inc. Mr. Wilson's
letter states that they do not want to arbitrarily rule out uses that are
otherwise allowable under the M-1 zoning classification, with the'exception
of salvage yards. This is not a suitable location for salvage yards, and
they agree to the stipulations that they will not allow salvage yards within
the area. Alabar Plaza, Inc. does not feel the M-1 zoning classification
will cause significant problems with increased truck traffic west along
Shaulis Road or south along Hess Road since the major highways are to the
east and north. If the truck volumes in these areas become too heavy, the
city may embargo these streets from truck traffic to direct most trucks to
the east and/or north.
Mr. Claassen submitted a letter from Robert Wilson, Treasurer of Alabar
Plaza, Inc., and himself which addresses the issues and comments that have
been made by others concerning the rezoning request. A copy of the letter is
on file in the City Clerk's office. Mr. Claassen stated that the project is
not urban sprawl, but smart growth. If the city wants the community to grow,
you must have areas for that to occur. The city already has two areas for
"M-2" Heavy Industrial uses that were created with public funds. This "M-1"
zoning will allow the development of a "M-1" Light Industrial area, created
with private funds. If this development competes with the city's industrial
parks and a business locates or expands in the "M-1" area, that is a benefit
to the city and its citizens as long as it expands or locates in Waterloo.
Businesses determine where they will locate based on the attributes of one
location compared to other locations. Most of this land is not prime or even
fair farmland. Over 70 percent of the proposed 85 acres was purchased from
the Iowa.Department of Transportation, who stripped the top 10 to 20 inches
to build the freeway system. The best use for this area is not residential,
but it is for the "M-1" Light Industrial use as recommended by city staff,
approved by the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and been shown in
the Long Range Land Use Plan since at least 1993. It is understandable that
the Winston Place area neighborhood would like to control all development
within 2,000 to 4,000 feet of them as it is a common reaction for people
living near undeveloped land. It is important to consider the beneficial
effects of the rezoning on the city as a whole. The owners do not believe
this is an appropriate location for salvage yards and will not allow this
type of development. This is a logical request that will benefit the
community as a whole, disturb a minimal amount of farmland, utilize existing
infrastructure and provide an area for new and existing businesses to grow in
Waterloo without additional expenditures of public funds by the taxpayers.
Steve Powell, 1956 Winston Place, stated that he was speaking for the
homeowners in the area. Mr. Powell stated that all the homeowners object to
the "M-1"'Light Industrial rezoning request. Development is not the problem.
The problem is development patterns, putting development in the right place.
Mr. Powell stated that councilmembers are stewards of the city, and that
development for development sake is not always the way to go. Mr. Powell
stated that when we balance the interest of the public, developers and
private citizens, there is no profit for the citizens. Mr. Powell stated
that everyone in the area has made the biggest investment of their lives.
Mr. Powell stated that it is time to revisit how important private citizens
are when considering building in the city. A number of residents of Guernsey
Addition will also express their concerns to this request. Mr. Powell stated
that the rezoning request will take a super majority vote of the council to
approve, and the reason for the super majority is because there is a
compelling reason, an interest of the people. Mr. Powell urged the council,
as stewards, to please reconsider their earlier vote.
Bob Wilson, Treasurer of Alabar Plaza, Inc., stated that when they first
proposed to acquire the property, they were told they would be able to rezone
the property "M-1". Mr. Wilson stated that he can't even fathom this area
being residential. Mr. Wilson reported that when they walked the site when
the State of Iowa put it up for bid, it was rocky. Mr. Wilson stated that
they contacted a person who contracts farming, and he told them it would be
impossible to farm the land.
Bruce Lehnen, 1465 East Shaulis Road, stated that he represents neighbors in
Guernsey Addition. Mr. Lehnen stated that they have the same primary
concerns as Mr. Powell. Mr. Lehnen submitted a petition of opposition with
over 50 signatures. Mr. Lehnen stated that they are not against development
in general.
Mitzi Rekward, 3309 Inverness Road, reported that Max Guernsey asked her to
i c•l ay uome of the L lri nyu he ]rau dune. Mr. (Jrrer nuey ]rau p l arru for a u l x taut)/
uurrclurrr l ri-l-uiir oh ltuuewood which uvei:l uukra 1.Jr i u pt u j c:cL , and Irc: would irul. uperii1
$4 million on something negative.

ORDINANCES TO BE ADOPTED CONTIUNED
Art DeLong, 606 West Parker, stated that Hawkeye Community College is within
one-half mike of this area. Mr. DeLong reported that he has been on Shaulis
Road when students are going to or leaving Hawkeye Community College, and he
is concerned that traffic could be difficult if it develops into a busy area.
Mr. DeLong stated that he dreads to see the intersection in the winter, when
the wind. is blowing, the snow will stop everything at this intersection.
Councilperson Gronen asked if the developers would consider conditional
zoning status.
Mr. Claassen reported that the developers do not want to limit themselves,
except for the salvage yard. Mr. Claassen stated that both developers are
responsible people who have lived in this area a long time.
Jordan/Murphy
that the petitions of opposition, letters and oral comments be received and
placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
111645 - Getty/Anders
that the request of Esther Hess and Alabar Plaza, Inc. to rezone from "A-1"
Agricultural District to "M-1" Light Industrial District property generally
located northeasterly of the Hess and East Shaulis Roads intersection, be
received,placed on file, considered and passed for the second time.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Anders questioned what happens to this request if it is voted
down.
Jim Walsh, City Attorney, stated if the council denies the request, the
property stays zoned as "A-1" Agricultural. District, but that the developers
could submit a new proposal to the Planning, Programming and Zoning,
Commission.
Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that if the request is denied, it takes
four months before a new request is brought back to the council. If the
council tables action on this item, it could be reviewed right away by the
Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission.
Murphy/Collier
that the request of Esther Hess and Alabar Plaza, Inc. to rezone from "A-1"
Agricultural District to "M-1" Light Industrial District property generally
located northeasterly of the Hess and East Shaulis Roads intersection, be
tabled indefinitely and referred back to the Planning, Programming and Zoning
Commission.
Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard.
Councilperson Jordan stated that there is not a lot of opposition to the
right development, but the developers need to have a plan, and that the
residents want to know what is going into their neighborhood.
Mr. Walshstated that the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission would
be disappointed if the council sends it back to them without any direction.
The commission has already passed the rezoning request as is and sent it to
the council. Mr. Walsh suggested that a few of the neighbors meet with the
developers and Councilperson Jordan to come up with a proposal to submit to
the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission.
Councilperson Murphy stated that he would like to see this item tabled
indefinitely and sent back to the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission
to work out something equitable to all parties because he does not want to
violate the rights of the developers or neighbors.
Councilperson Jordan stated that he has visited with the neighbors, and there
are a lot of concerns. Councilperson Jordan stated that the Long Range Land
Use Plan has been in existence since 1973, and he would like to have the plan
reviewed.

ORDINANCES TO BE ADOPTED CONTIUNED
Councilperson Anders stated that he has followed this request through the
Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission hearing, and it has come to the
council with unanimous approval of the commission. Councilperson Anders
stated that it appears to him that its a not in my neighborhood situation.
Councilperson Anders stated that it is up to the council to take a stand, and
that it is a tough decision. Councilperson Anders stated that in the perfect
world we would like to leave it as it is, and that the council has a
responsibility to the developers and residents. Councilperson Anders stated
that he feels the council should get on with the rezoning request.
Councilperson Getty stated that the residents do not have any
recommendations, just against "M-1" rezoning.
Councilperson Jordan stated that he would like to see this request sent back
to the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission.
City Attorney Jim Walsh stated that if the developers were willing to
restrict truck volume, the rezoning might be acceptable to the residents.
Following discussion, a vote was taken on the motion to table indefinitely
with the following result. Ayes: Six. Nays: Getty. Motion carried.
