ADJOURNED HEARING
107672 - Mayor Rooff stated that this was the time of the adjourned hearing from November 4,

acres for $1 property located in Midport Industrial Park and generally located east
of the National Guard facility on Airport Boulevard, and north of Airline Highway

107673 Jordan/Collier
that "Resolution setting new date of hearing on the above described development

in the City Hall Council Chambers", be approved and City Clerk instructed to publish
notice of same. Ayes: Seven.
Resolution adopted and upon approval by Mayor assigned No. 1996-760.
107674 - The Mayor stated that this was the time for the adjourned hearing of November 4,
1996 on the request of James Mashek to rezone from "A-1" Agricultural District to
"C-2" Commercial District to allow construction of mini -storage buildings on
property generally located just north of 2531 Logan Avenue (U.S. 63 North).
Michael McCombs, 2531 Logan Ave, stated his opposition to the rezoning. There are
already enough available areas for commercial development. He is worried that the
construction of buildings would hamper the natural water drainage which occurs on
his and the adjoining property. The lights and traffic would also agitate the emu
which he is raising on his property. He is against rezoning for commercial property
next to his residence.
Jan Mashek, 148 San Souci Dr, reported that the request was turned down by Planning,
Programming and Zoning because they want the area to have residential growth.
However, the long range land use plan shows commercial development to be planned
along Highway 63 right up to the location of this lot. Mashek provided the Mayor
and Council with maps of the neighborhood and identified the number of residential
lots that were available but not yet developed. Many of these lots have been vacant
for over fifteen years.
Councilperson Krizek asked if the site for the Park Inn was rezoned for commercial
development. City Planner Don Temeyer reported that it was rezoned from
agricultural but the change to commercial was included in the long range use plan.
Mashek pointed out that the McCombs property abuts another commercial property so
he will always have to deal with commercial development.
Councilperson Jordan asked if the zoning could be approved with the condition that
only storage bins be erected on the site. Temeyer indicated that conditions may
always be placed on a zoning before approval.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION
November 12, 1996
5:45 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Mayor Rooff, Getty, Krizek, Murphy, Jordan,
Collier, Mollenhoff, Anders.
Moved by Krizek, seconded by Murphy to approve the agenda as
proposed. Ayes: Four. Absent: Jordan, Collier, Mollenhoff.
Motion carried.
An overview of the mission and master plan for the Cedar Valley
Arboretum and Botanic Gardens at Hawkeye Community College was
presented. The Cedar Valley Arboretum is a non-profit volunteer
organization which is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life
through horticulture and greater appreciation of nature. The group
began in 1995 when a task force was established as three groups
with similar ideas united to establish an arboretum.
Site selection was one of the first projects undertaken and Hawkeye
Community College was selected from seven different possible
locations. Seventy-four acres has been attained through a ninety-
nine year long term lease. The site location has an abundance of
mini -climates and will allow for a range of focus vegetation.
Jordan, Collier, Mollenhoff and Mayor Rooff now present at 5:52
p.m.
The master plan has been prepared by Buettner and Associates of
Fox, Wisconsin with assistance from Craig Ritland of Waterloo. The
plan is scheduled for development in four stages. The first stage
includes a nursery, access roads and visitors center with community
gardens as the focus. Stage Two will complete ponds and a water
management system which would help create a contemporary Japanese
garden. A sheep meadow for use by Hawkeye classes will also add
the serenity of domestic animals to the landscape. An
amphitheater, picnic area and additional parking are also completed
in phase two. Phases three and four finish with a prairie and
waterfowl nesting lake and a permanent visitors center and
conservatory. The arboretum would like to discuss the possibility
of using the facility for a band shelter if possible.
The dollar value of the total project is expected to exceed $14
million. The development will be funded through memberships,
volunteer efforts, donations, memorials, grants and community
investments by private enterprise. Already this summer, materials,
plants and equipment have been donated in kind by many
organizations. Trees have been moved from city parks or right of
way and planted in the forestation area.
With no further discussion, it was moved by Jordan, seconded by
Mollenhoff to adjourn the meeting at 6:05 p.m. Ayes: Seven.
Motion carried.

CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION

6:00 p.m.
Large Conference Room
Members present: Mayor Rooff, Getty, Krizek, Murphy, Jordan,
Collier, Mollenhoff, Anders.
Moved by Jordan, seconded by Mollenhoff to approve the agenda as
proposed. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
City Engineer Eric Thorson presented the revised proposal for a
three year overlay program. The program was developed with input
from citizens, council and the pavement management program. Each
year has been prepared to meet the project budget of $3.3 million
dollars established by the council as part of the overall street
program. The decision on the overlay streets for 1997 needs to be
finalized as soon as possible so that engineering staff may begin
assembling the field information for design.
Councilperson Jordan asked to change the selection of Wisner Street
to the 1999 overlay program and to replace it with Edgemont in his
ward. Edgemont is more widely traveled by the residents of a large
apartment complex and commercial business along Kimball Avenue.
Councilperson Collier requested that in ward four, the overlay
project for Gable Street be moved up to 1997 and the repairs to
Walnut be moved back to 1999.
Anders thanked Thorson for his willingness to work with the
council. When Anders looks at the overall street improvement
program for reconstruction, overlay and seal coat he is assured
that all citizens are being served equitably. If each project is
taken separately then the same number of dollars are not spent in
each district. However, soil conditions allow for lower cost
programs to repair many streets on the east side and funds to be
focused for reconstruction in older sections of the city.
Moved by Krizek, seconded by Jordan to approve the 1997 overlay
program as presented with the changes requested by the council for
Wisner, Edgemont, Gable and Walnut. Ayes: Seven. Motion carried.
With no further discussion, it was moved by Mollenhoff, seconded by
Anders to adjourn the meeting at 6:26 p.m. Ayes: Seven. Motion
carried.
