In conjunction with this project, the city will use local funds to resituate and pave the existing granular parking lot. The current parking lot configuration does not meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA} regulations regarding accessible parking spots. The proposed enhancements are shown in Exhibit 2 — Waterloo Boathouse Master Plan. The total cost for the proposed enhancements is estimated at $496,737. The City of Waterloo is requesting $200,000 in REAP funding and has secured local dollars for the funding gap. Future Phase As shown in Exhibit2 and the picture to the right, a future phase has been identified for the southeast side of the property. This phase will include decorative paving, pedestrian pathway and stairs, a boat ramp to the building, shade trees, native plantings, benches, bicycle racks, and additional parking. The City anticipates completing this phase as soon as funding becomes available. Future phase of the Boathouse Master Plan 11Niarrative Existing Facilities The Waterloo Boathouse was first built in the 1960s to serve as a multipurpose facility for the Waterloo Rowing Club and public gatherings. The original structure was destroyed in the historic floods of 2008. Using a combination of FEMA funds, local funds, and private donations, the building was reconstructed in 2010. The new structure is designed to allow floodwater to flow through the building. The Waterloo Rowing Club occupies the ground floor of the new building, and the second story party room is available to the public to rent for events. Additional amenities provided in the surrounding park area include a shelter, public restrooms, disc golf course, fishing jetty, recreation trail, and baseball diamonds. III. DEVELOPMENT PLAN, PROJECT BOUNDARY MAP, AND AERIAL PHOTOGRAPH The following exhibits are included as part of this application: • Exhibit 1: Project Location • Exhibit 2: Waterloo Boathouse Master Plan • Exhibit 3: Aerial Photography IV. PROJECT BENEFITS, NEEDS, JUSTIFICATION, AND URGENCY The new boathouse is a stunning facility that offers spectacular panoramic views of the Cedar River and surrounding greenspace. However, the boathouse grounds were never renovated after the floods and are long overdue for improvement. The design of the proposed enhancements will serve the needs of people renting the boathouse as well as those who visit the surrounding park and river area. The patio between the boathouse and river will provide additional seating and gathering space for people to enjoy. The pedestrian pathway will connect the boathouse to nearby amenities, providing improved pedestrian connectivity throughout the park area. Increased use of the boathouse and park area warrants additional safety amenities such as paved and lighted walkways and parking areas. This project is justified based on the increased use of the boathouse and park area over the years. With newer amenities and a larger floor space, the boathouse can facilitate a variety of functions and events year-round. This is evidenced by the 73 events that were booked in fiscal year 2016, serving 2'Narrative Location of the boathouse patio. The fishing jetty can be seen in the background. View of the park and parking lot, facing northwest from the boathouse. almost 9,000 individuals, The park and river area nearby are also thoroughly enjoyed by the public. People can often be seen fishing along the shoreline and from the nearby jetty. The proposed lighted walkway will provide an enhanced pathway to this local favorite fishing hole. Recreation on and around the Cedar River in the Waterloo metropolitan area has increased substantially in recent years. The largest evidence of this trend is the number of miles of state designated water trails and study areas in and around Black Hawk County. This includes the 10 -mile Cedar Valley Paddler's Trail which is a state designated water trail loop located less than one mile upstream from the boathouse. In addition, the Cedar River through Waterloo and Cedar Falls is a designated study area and is in development to become a state designated water trail. The City of Waterloo has a strong track record with REAP and with projects of this type. Recent REAP projects include land acquisition, reclamation, and park development in Sherwood Park, and the development of Riverview Recreation Area. The most recent REAP project completed was the recreational trail around Harold Getty Lake in Riverview Recreation Area. Construction of Sherwood Park, which was awarded REAP funding in 2014, is underway and anticipated to be completed this year. If awarded REAP funding, the City is committed to ensuring this project is completed in a timely and high-quality fashion. This project is supported by the goals of multiple local, regional, and statewide planning documents. Relevant excerpts from these documents are provided below. • 2013 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan • Black Hawk County 2016-2020 REAP Plan • Healthy Iowans: Iowa's Health Improvement Plan 2012-2016 • Blue Zones Project by Healthways • Iowa Open Spaces Plan 2013 State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Pion • Priority 1: Address funding challenges as they relate to growing healthy and sustainable opportunities in outdoor recreation and open spaces for Iowa. — Goal 1: Promote the contribution of natural resource recreation and conservation to the economic vitality and quality of life for Iowans. • Priority 2: Create places to go in Iowa that exemplify best practices in natural resource conservation while providing a variety of opportunities for outdoor recreation. — Goal 4: Provide high-quality, safe and affordable recreational opportunities that meet the demands, needs and diversity of experiences Iowans desire. • Priority 3: Encourage collaboration and planning efforts to advance outdoor recreation. — Goal 1: Invest in sound local and regional planning, including the integration of outdoor recreation, health and natural resources conservation and protection, as well as to provide a comprehensive and diverse vision. 3 I N a rrat ive — Goal 3: Bring together agencies, stakeholders, users and private sector business to focus on linear trails (hard, soft and wet surfaces) to develop sound comprehensive planning for a high quality trails system in Iowa. • Priority 4: Promote outdoor recreation as a means to achieve healthier lifestyles, enhancing the quality of life for all Iowans. — Gnnl 1: link outdoor recreation and participation to desired wellness and public health .�..... .... ............ .....�.......... ...... t.... �. �,.Nv uvu desired wellness health benefits. Improving the grounds of the Waterloo Boathouse will help enhance the quality of life for many individuals in the greater Waterloo/Cedar Falls metropolitan area. The trail extension will connect the boathouse to the variety of outdoor recreation facilities nearby. The paved and lighted walkways and parking also help improve the safety for users. Ritland + Kuiper Landscape Architects was commissioned by the City of Waterloo to develop the Boathouse Master Nan. Ritland + Kuiper has worked closely with city staff, the Waterloo Development Commission, and other interested parties in the development of this plan. The Waterloo Leisure Services and INRCOG staffs have also been actively involved in the process. This effort is an excellent example of combined partnerships. Black Hawk County 2016-2020 REAP Plan • Goal 1: To meet the historical and outdoor recreational needs of the citizens of Iowa in Black Hawk County, while encouraging land stewardship, education and preservation of existing and future assets. • Goal 2: To be consistent with and to implement the goals and objectives outlined in the Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP), the bi-annual REAP Congress, and the Iowa Open Spaces Plan. • Focus Area 5: Expand and improve vertical infrastructure — Waterloo Boathouse The Waterloo Boathouse and park area helps meet the outdoor recreational needs of local citizens by providing unique park space and access to the river in an urban environment. The proposed enhancements are specifically identified in the Black Hawk County REAP Plan. The City of Waterloo has envisioned completing this project for the past seven years and has involved the public every step of the way. Healthy Iowans: Iowa's Health Improvement Plan 2012-2016 This plan focuses on 39 critical health needs grouped into nine topic areas that provide a blueprint for addressing them. Healthy Iowans builds on health planning that is already taking place by numerous private and public sector organizations across the state. Iowa's health improvement plan provides a starting point to identify strategies and initiatives that are addressing critical health needs with the understanding that no one plan could reflect everything that is being done to tackle Iowans' needs. 41Narrative • Topic Area 6: Healthy Living Measure of Progress 6-5: An increase in the proportion of adults who get the recommended levels of aerobic physical activity. Measure of Progress 6-9: A reduction in the proportion of adults who are obese. Topic Area Six is titled "Healthy Living". The two progress measures for Topic Area Six that apply to this project are Measure of Progress 6-5: an increase in the proportion of adults who get the recommended levels of aerobic physical activity, and Measure of Progress 6-9: a reduction in the proportion of adults who are obese. While the proposed project cannot guarantee either of these measures, the project does offer improved access to the river for fisherpersons. Fishing can help to improve both physical and mental health for individuals. Blue Zones Project by Healthways The City of Waterloo is a certified Blue Zones community. According to its website, "The Blue Zones Project is a systems approach in which citizens, schools, employers, restaurants, grocery stores, and community leaders collaborate on policies and programs that move the community toward better health and well-being." The Project includes a holistic approach to public health which addresses food, tobacco use, and physical activity. One of the goals of the Blue Zones Project is to improve infrastructure to promote physical activity. The recreation trail extension proposed in this application helps achieve this goal. Iowa Open Spaces Several goals and trends identified in the Iowa Open Spaces Plan support the Boathouse Enhancements project. These are as follows: • Supports increasing public opportunities to use, enjoy and benefit from Iowa's protected open spaces. • Encourages the coordination of open space protection among federal, state, county, and municipal governments and private organizations. • Identifies open spaces has having a particular "drawing power" for visitation at the national, regional (multi -state), state and local level. • Suggests that public spaces that have multiple uses will provide more benefits than one having a single purpose. • Identifies the development of trails as an important source of outdoor recreation for urban residents. • Identifies the expansion of city parks as a method of preserving open space. This project strongly relates to the goals and trends of the Iowa Open Spaces Plan as the project supports land dedicated for public use and recreation. Seeing that a landscape architect was commissioned to develop a master plan, it is clearly important to the City to complete the proposed enhancements. 51Narrative V. ENVIRONMENTAL, ECONOMIC, AND SOCIAL IMPACTS OF PROJECT This project has a positive environmental impact because the proposed enhancements will highlight a natural area in Waterloo without requiring significant development. The land supports a variety of recreation activities, and the project will provide improved connectivity to these resources. There are not expected to be any adverse environmental impacts from the project other than temporary inconveniences during construction. The proposed project assuredly will have a positive economic impact for the community. The boathouse is located on the Cedar River near Downtown Waterloo. Developing this recreation area will greatly enhance the overall quality of life for Waterloo which is an important factor in drawing residents to the city as well as retaining existing ones. Recreation trails and urban green space are considered lifestyle enhancements, both of which are regarded by real estate agents as amenities that help to attract buyers and to sell property. Additional improvements called for in the Master Plan may also help draw in visitors from outside the community as well as attract people to move to Waterloo. As the proposed improvements are constructed and further park development is completed, the opportunity to enjoy the trail system, access to the river, and picnicking areas will bring many social benefits for local residents. Families and friends will be able to enjoy these activities together, and it will provide a great location to people to socialize and enjoy activities. VI. HISTORICAL, ARCHAEOLOGICAL, AND ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES/IMPACTS There are no known historical, archaeological, or architectural features of significance at the project site. This particular site has been heavily disturbed by the floods of 2008. The proper agencies will be contacted in the event that significant features are discovered during the construction process. VII. LOCAL PARTICIPATION Ritland + Kuiper Landscape Architects was commissioned by the City of Waterloo to develop the Boathouse Master Plan (see Exhibit 2). Ritland + Kuiper has worked closely with city staff, the Waterloo Development Commission, and other interested parties in the development of this plan. The Waterloo Leisure Services and INRCOG staffs have also been actively involved in the process. Formal public input has been gathered over the years as the Master Plan was discussed in depth by the Waterloo Council during multiple sessions. Citizens were welcomed to comment at Council meetings. Development of the Boathouse Master Plan has received unanimous support from the Waterloo City Council. The proposed plan was most recently discussed at the July 25, 2016 City Council meeting in which the Council unanimously approved this application. Locally, many organizations and citizens are highly supportive of enhancing the Waterloo Boathouse. Letters of support for the project are attached as Exhibit5. Should this grant be awarded, citizens would be welcomed to comment on the contract for the project and provide any input. 6 I N a r r a t i v e VIII. CONSIDERATIONS GIVEN TO 'MINORITIES, ELDERLY, AND DISABLED The Waterloo Boathouse and park area are used by citizens of all ages, income levels, and abilities for various outdoor recreational activities and gatherings. This includes a significant population of low to moderate income. According to the 2010-2014 American Community Survey (ACS) Five -Year Estimates, 18.6 percent of the population in Waterloo lives below the poverty threshold. The project will also help serve Waterloo's large minority population. According to the 2010 Census, the minority population for Waterloo is 22.7 percent which is well above the state average of 8.7 percent. The proposed enhancements will also serve the area's significant elderly and disabled population. According to the 2010 Census, the portion of the population over the age of 65 in Waterloo is 14 percent. According to the 2010-2014 ACS Five -Year Estimates, 13 percent of the population in Black Hawk County has at least one type of disability. IX.
