Mr. Meany stated that the amount of water is not going to slow down. Mr. Meany stated that he spoke with Noel Anderson in the Planning Department, and Mr. Anderson told him that the engineering goes back to the 60s. Mr. Meany stated that he bought the pond with the idea to build a home on the pond and be able to control the amount of runoff. Mr. Meany commented that the developers will put 60 to 70 percent of asphalt on the land. Mr. Meany stated that there is a tremendous amount of problems from the present trailer court. Mr. Meany stated that they say this is single family development, but it is still a commercial development. Mr. Meany stated that he is asking the council to really look at this, and that he wants to stop anything further from happening. Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that the reason we are holding another hearing on this vacation is because the attorney for the development asked that the process be repeated to officially serve other plat property owners and to have two publication notices 14 days apart prior to the public hearing. Mr. Temeyer stated that Mr. Meany purchased the property from bankruptcy court. Bruce Radue stated that his firm did the engineering for the manufactured homes. Mr. Radue stated that this is the second time the city council has addressed the drainage situation. Mr Radue stated that private property discharges into the existing lake, and it was not designed for a retention pond.

Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 113340 - This being the time and place of public hearing, the Mayor called for written and oral objections. Councilperson Murphy stated that when this item comes to vote if the council approves the site plan per the recommendation of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission, it does not take a super majority vote of the council, but if we change Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission's recommendation, it will take a super majority of the council. Judy McVey, General Manager of National Cattle Congress, stated that all the reports that were asked for are back and they feel they are very favorable. Ms. McVey noted that the National Cattle Congress wants to make Waterloo a tourist destination. Ms. McVey stated that a final business plan will be put together by the National Cattle Congress after approval by the city. Ms. McVey stated that the National Cattle Congress would like to assure everyone that they want to be good neighbors. Ms. McVey stated that the National Cattle Congress plans to follow the recommendation in the studies with two exceptions. The plan mentions a 3 foot wall all around the track, but the National Cattle Congress would need an opening so they can get cars in and out. Ms. McVey commented that the National Cattle Congress agrees with limiting events to one night per week except that an extra day of racing would be allowed on holidays. Ms. McVey stated that the National Cattle Congress would like to have the option to have an asphalt or dirt track and let the investors make their choice. Tom Taucher, 1822 Partridge Lane, stated that our forefathers ruled that the purpose of government is to improve the life of citizens. Mr. Taucher stated that putting racetrack in a quiet neighborhood is a nuisance. Mr. Taucher stated that according to the National Cattle Congress, 1,800 people will attend the races, and generate $2.1 million dollars annually, but he believes 1,000 fans attending the races would come from this city. Mr. Taucher questioned if it is legal for the city to sell land without public bids. Jim Walsh, City Attorney, stated that the city frequently sells land without bids, and it is legal. Mr. Taucher stated that the second part of the report by Markin, Coffeen, Fricke & Associates is a business plan for the National Cattle Congress, and that this part was hard to get a hold of. Mr. Taucher asked why the city paid for a business plan for the National Cattle Congress. Mayor Rooff stated that the consultant informed the city that the report included the impact on the property and the business plan for the same prices no matter what. Mayor Rooff told Mr. Taucher that it should not have been hard to get a copy of the business plan and that no one was trying to hide anything. Mr. Taucher asked if it was legal for a member of the National Cattle Congress to vote on this issue as a city council member. Mayor Rooff stated that Councilperson Getty will not vote on this issue tonight. Mayor Rooff stated that Councilperson Getty did vote on the motion to send the site plan amendment back to the Board of Adjustment and Planning and Zoning. Mr. Walsh stated that the Iowa Code does not state what is or isn't a conflict. Mr. Walsh stated that Councilperson Getty sits on the National Cattle Congress Board without compensation, and whether this is a conflict would be up to the courts. • February 7, 2000 HEARINGS CONTINUED Page 5 Mr. Taucher asked by State Code how many realtors can sit on the Board of Adjustment. Mr. Walsh stated that he would have to research that question. Krizek/Gronen that the petitions of support and opposition be received and placed on file. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 113341 - Jordan/Gronen that the hearing be closed and recommendation of approval of the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and oral and written comments be received and placed on file. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Getty stated that he has been asked several times by the National Cattle Congress to have the option of a dirt track. Councilperson Getty stated that he would like to voice his opinion. The National Cattle Congress has worked very hard for the last year and a half to do something with the dog track. Councilperson Getty stated that the National Cattle Congress has been through all the hoops and loops that they have been asked to do. Councilperson Getty asked the council not to tie the hands of the National Cattle Congress and let them succeed in racing. Councilperson Getty stated that the National Cattle Congress should have the right to choose between dirt or asphalt, and that dust has no maintenance with watering. Councilperson Getty stated that 90 percent of drivers in Black Hawk County are dirt drivers and not asphalt. Councilperson Getty stated that he represents the citizens as a member of the National Cattle Congress and the constituents of the city as a council member. Councilperson Getty stated that the calls he has received from the citizens of Waterloo support the race track. Following discussion, a vote was taken on the above motion with the following result. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried. 113342 - Anders/Gronen that "Resolution approving said site plan with the option of the owner/operator to determine surface of the track", be adopted. Prior to a vote on the above motion, the following comments were heard. Councilperson Jordan stated that he is for this motion subject to a lot of people feel things were hidden on this dirt track. Councilperson Jordan stated that Mr. Klingaman said that the idea would be hard surfaced only. Councilperson Jordan stated that the minutes from the meetings of the Board of Adjustments, Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission and City Council basically say the same thing. Councilperson Jordan stated that now all of a sudden they want the option of a dirt track, and he has a problem with the way this was presented to the citizens. Councilperson Getty stated that If Mr. Klingaman had his way, it would be hard surfaced, but he only has one vote, the rest of the board wants the choice. Councilperson Getty stated that the constituents have asked for a dirt track and that is why it was brought before the council. Councilperson Getty stated that the National Cattle Congress has to observe the rest of the requirements. Councilperson Gronen stated that he has the same concerns as Councilperson Jordan, and he is concerned that the proposed business plan was not brought to the council as a unit. Councilperson Gronen stated that he has received more calls from people interested in the dirt track than those opposed to racing in general. Councilperson Murphy asked if Mr. Klingaman did not have authority of the National Cattle Congress why did he indicate that he had the backing of the National Cattle Congress to represent the board. Councilperson Getty asked the council to vote their conscience and do what the people of Waterloo want. Councilperson Getty stated that he doesn't want a race track out there that is going to be blacktop with no spectators. Councilperson Getty stated lets uncuff the Cattle Congress board and let them get started out there. Don Temeyer, City Planner, stated that the noise study indicated there would be no significant difference between dirt and asphalt. February 7, 2000 Page 6 HEARINGS CONTINUED Councilperson Anders stated that that nine out of ten persons he talked to want racing. Councilperson Anders stated that a call he received today, the man wanted to take his kids out there, people want to take their families out there. Councilperson Anders stated that we always hear there is nothing to do in Waterloo and here is an opportunity to put something out there. Councilperson Anders stated that the people he represents want a dirt track or want to give the National Cattle Congress an opportunity to determine if they want a dirt track. Councilperson Anders stated that the possibility of a dirt track has been discussed at every meeting, at the Board of Adjustment and the Planning, Programming and Zoning Commission. Councilperson Anders stated that he thinks the city needs to take off the restrictions to give them a chance to succeed. Councilperson Anders stated that this city council and city are not in the stock car business, we are just to approve the site plan. Councilperson Anders stated that the National Cattle Congress would be in business and not the city unless the National Cattle Congress violates the covenant. Councilperson Anders stated that he recommends to allow the owner/operator to determine the track surface so that they have a chance to succeed. Mayor Rooff stated that he thinks the city council feels they have done everything they can with the economic and sound study. Mayor Roof stated that the dirt track raises the question why was it not up front, and that there never was a time that we addressed dirt. Mayor Roof stated that he thinks the citizens of this community want racing badly, but we need to keep everyone informed from the get go.
