ORAL PRESENTATIONS
111797 - Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, stated that he recently read about a
case in court where a business sued the city and won. The city would not
allow the business to operate because they said it was not properly zoned,
and the business was not allowed to operate for a year. Mr. Dillavou stated
that the business owner bought the property in good faith. Mr. Dillavou
reported that he knows of a business operating on property zoned agricultural
use. Mr. Dillavou stated that this concerns him because the business is not
paying proper tax since it was recently reported that agricultural property
is taxed lower so the business has an unfair tax advantage over other
businesses. Mr. Dillavou stated that zoning rules need to be consistent.
Mr. Dillavou stated that Black Hawk County has precise rules, and the city's
zoning regulations are very vague. Mr. Dillavou stated that the city needs
to write the zoning language so it is understood.
Mayor Rooff stated that Mr. Dillavou makes a good point, that there is a
difference between the county and the city. Mayor Rooff asked Mr. Dillavou
to facilitate working on a joint effort with the county on the regulations
and to submit names of others who can work on the project with him.
Ray Willey, a partner of Willey Bros., Ripon, California, stated that he is
still interested in renovating the Klinefelter Building. Mr. Willey thanked
the council for extending the additional time to submit a $100,000
performance bond. Mr. Willey stated that he anticipates having the bond in
place by April 12, 1999 and moving forward with the project. Mr. Willey
stated that he has been working on a project in California which consumed
more of his time and money than he anticipated. Mr. Willey stated that he
will be working with the contractor to set up a time frame and move forward
within the next few months.
Mayor Rooff stated that it was nice to see Mr. Willey, and that the city was
wondering if he was still interested in the project.
Councilperson Jordan stated that his concern is not with the deadlines, but'
he asked how the city could have confidence in the project.
Mr. Willey stated that the city should look at his track record. Mr. Willey
stated that he has done approximately 30 project, none of them failed, all
started late and all came in over budget.
Councilperson Jordan asked Mr. Willey if he is willing to submit a cash bond.
Mr. Willey stated that he thought his associates would be willing to submit a
cash bond. Mr. Willey stated that there are about eight individuals involved
in the project, and they have never had to put up a bond before. Mr. Willey
reported that he is working with Vern Nelson of Allied Insurance of Des
Moines.
Councilperson Anders stated that he hoped the council doesn't strike Mr.
Willey as anti -development. Councilperson Anders stated that the city
encourages Mr. Willey and others, but it just seemed like this project
dragged on. Councilperson Anders stated that the city appreciates what Mr.
Willey is doing and will do anything we can to make him successful.
Councilperson Anders stated that the key thing is the bond, we don't want
taxpayers to have the liability for the building.
Councilperson Gronen stated that the building is a safety liability.
Councilperson Gronen asked Mr. Willey when he anticipates stabilizing the
building.
Mr. Willey stated that he has a meeting tomorrow with Bill Smart and
hopefully they will have the building stabilized within two weeks of taking
possession.

improvements are eligible for the exemption. Mr. Temeyer stated that just
because they put the improvements on their home, it does not necessarily
increase the taxable value.
