Nate Blanck stated he lives in the area of the proposed rezoning. Mr. Blanck stated that we were told during the 1998 project that the sewer was not right, and now this developer is proposing a holding pond for the storm sewer. Mr. Blanck stated there are a lot of other areas in the city with open ground, and they don't need to build there. Mr. Blanck stated the west side has nice bicycle paths, and when they came to this end of town, they took an endloader, dug a trench, pounded a little asphalt for the bicycle path, and that is what his area gets. Mr. Blanck stated they don't need this housing in this area. Jons Olsson, representing the Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, spoke in favor of the proposed senior housing project by the Retirement Housing Foundation. The Church Council, on behalf of the congregation, supports the request by the Retirement Housing Foundation. The Church recognizes the growing need for senior housing in our community and notes the successful senior housing projects undertaken in many other communities by the Retirement Housing Foundation. Mr. Olsson stated Good Shepherd Lutheran Church members are willing to work with the council and the Retirement Housing Foundation on the project. Tom Nutting, representing the Retirement Housing Foundation, stated this is an unique endeavor. This development is not just for low-income seniors but low to medium -income seniors and will use HUD funds. Mr. Nutting stated this project will provide three different size units for three or four different income groups, using good material. Larry DeVinez stated his 85 year old neighbor has told him numerous times she lives alone because there is no low to moderate -income senior housing. Mr. DeVinez stated he supports this project. Councilperson Getty stated he was at the community meeting with the citizens. Their main concern is the sanitary and storm sewer big enough, and now the developer is proposing a retention pond on East Donald and East Fourth Streets. Eric Thorson, City Engineer, stated staff reviewed the sanitary sewer and it has enough capacity. The storm water retention basin would have to meet city policy. Mr. Thorson stated that East Fourth Street will remain a seal coated street. June 17, 2002 Page 4 HEARINGS CONTINUED Councilperson Greenwood asked if there is an ordinance or code requiring shelters be available in case of tornadoes. Lou Cutwright, Building Official/Maintenance Administrator, responded there is no code in the State of Iowa requiring a shelter. Councilperson Getty stated the Planning and Zoning Commission requires the project to have a site plan meeting minimum requirements for parking, landscaping and drainage. Don Temeyer, City Planner, responded that staff has looked at the site plan, which includes one parking space per unit, where normally an apartment complex is required to have two parking spaces per unit.

This is a residential area with proposed six or seven homes with ten homes across the street. Mr. Debe stated this development is needed to meet the city's needs. The deed of dedication will make it very clear no city sewer, city water, or paved streets are planned for this area. The development would have septic tanks and there is agricultural land. Mr. Debe stated the development does not pose a liability to the city as the city already provides garbage and fire and police protection. Mr. Debe stated the development will depart from the city's Land Use Plan, and there will be other developments in the future that will depart from the Plan. Mr. Debe stated he feels it is part of our duty to provide housing options to the citizens. Ken DeNault, 3750 Ranchero Road, stated that he submitted a letter and report to the council concerning this development. Mr. DeNault spoke about the wells and septic tanks required in the area. June 17, 2002 • • HEARINGS CONTINUED Page 5 Lisa Zuck, 3768 Ranchero Road, reported the only city services residents in the area receive are cable TV and garbage pickup. Residents have a Cedar Falls address, children go to Hudson schools, and they have a Hudson phone number. Ms. Zuck state property owners have wells, and the field nearby is sprayed with hydrous ammonia. Ms. Zuck stated that the stormwater drainage from her home drains into the proposed development. Ms. Zuck explained that 911 calls are routed to Hudson, and that it is difficult to get Waterloo to answer or respond to 911 calls. Forest Dillavou, 1725 Huntington Road, stated he is concerned about street obligation. When Ranchero Road was fixed, the city used option tax funds for Hudson's portion. Steve Decker, Superintendent of Streets, responded Ranchero Road was seal coated by the city with the understanding with Black Hawk County that the city would maintain it. Kevin Graves, 3874 Ranchero Road, stated that lots in the area are three acre lots, and he asked why the proposed lots are 1.5 acres, and what changed when this proposed development was brought back. Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated the Planning and Zoning Commission has been working on rural residential lots to be developed. Mr. Temeyer stated that buyers will have to understand no city services will be provided and that this is a rural area. Mr. Graves asked if the city will bring in rural water. A representative from the Waterloo Water Works stated that rural water in the proposed area must have a two mile limit. If the residents petition for water, water could be extended to the area. Bob Smith stated he is just asking that the property be rezoned, and that all he is asking from the city is to allow people who like the rural setting to be able to build a nice home. Mr. Smith stated that he is proposing 1.5 acre lots because that is the request. Mr. Smith stated there is not a large market for rural housing, and that it took four years to sell the ten lots by Hudson. Mr. Smith stated that regarding septic tanks and wells, he is not aware of any problems to the south. Mr. Smith stated the north side of the development drains to the railroad, and there is a tile that takes the runoff to Black Hawk Creek. Mr. Smith stated that all the septic tanks must be engineered septic tanks. Mr. Smith stated the abstract indicates that this is a rural area and no city services will be provided. Mr. Smith stated the deed refers to odors and normal agricultural circumstances. Mr. Smith stated he is only asking one thing from the city and that is permission to build seven or eight very nice houses at no cost to the city. Councilperson Berry stated that the Planning and Programming Commission attached conditions to the development and asked if Mr. Smith met those conditions. Mr. Smith responded he will exceed the expectations. Jordan/Welper that the hearing be closed and recommendation of approval of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, petition and letter of opposition and letter of support and oral and written comments be received and placed on file.
