(b) CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT (PUD) SUBMITTED BY RICHARD LARSON WITH FAVORABLE RECOMMENDATION OF PLANNING COMMISSION City Administrator Plotz commented on the request by Richard Larson for a Conditional Use Permit (PUD) for property located east of Garden Road in Clifton Heights. Inasmuch as this area was recently zoned R-2, multi -family housing would be allowed, under certain conditions. City Engineer Priebe presented a zoning map of the area being considered. He reported a revised plat plan was submitted by Mr. Larson following the -3- a COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 26, 1981 April 21, 1981 Planning Commission meeting, and it was discussed at the subsequent meeting of May 19, 1981. The plan would provide for 48 living units in the area,which would be two -or three-family structures only. In addition, the roadway was changed to line up with Lindy Lane. It was pointed out that both the Park and Recreation Board and the Planning Commission had recommended there be a park in the area. No definite loca- tion had been selected, but Mr. Ken Santelman had been approached regarding a land donation from the recently developed Santelman's Addition. He was agreeable to a land donation for a park. John Mlinar Stated he had attended the Planning Commis - 704 Hilltop Drive sion meeting at which the Larson PUD was dis- cussed. Said he was interested in what was being proposed for a park. A map was shown proposing park land to the east of Larson's property. By making use of the Luce Line Trail, it could be a larger area and less expensive. The land is isolated from development and miidt �e available ?t a loge dr. e. This co a City Engineer Priebe Responded that the property to the east is only 200 feet and is zoned commercial. This would be moving the park to one extreme, and the Park Board had looked favorably on the proposed site. Mayor Westlund Stated the park was a concern of his. Felt there should be a park in that area, but he had no idea of the cost to purchase land for a park. Bruce Ericson Reported the Park Board was looking at the Park & Rec. Director north portion of Santelman's Addition for a park. This site would be available to those living on the other side of the highway as well as Clifton Heights residents. City Adm. Plotz Pointed out that if the park was located along the railroad right-of-way and Luce Line Trail, an additional 100 feet would be avail- able. John Mlinar Said he had gone through the PUD proposal and had some concerns about it. Referred to the slab on grade construction and suggested a so- lution would be to provide a shelter in the area or put in partial basements. This is not in harmony with existing development. Wl V COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 26, 1981 Made reference to the one open parking or two open parking spaces to be provided each unit as required by Ordinance. According to the proposed plan, some units would have garages located in the front. This also is not in harmony with existing development. A solu- tion would be to require attached garages. Raised a question on the finacing of the proj- ect as to whether it met the requirements. Stated there was no access to the east and to the north. Also suggested reducing the density in the area. Wanted to know about additions and improve- ments to the units once they are completed. Would there be restrictions? Asked if the site plan was complete. Commented that the proposed streets are only 40 feet wide and not standard size. Marlow Priebe Reported that no garages would have to be pro - City Engineer vided. The City Ordinance requires two off- street parking spaces per dwelling. If any additions were made to the proposed units after completion, it would require a permit; therefore, all property owners within 500 feet would be notified. Mention was also made that the existing streets in Clifton Heights are 40 feet and smaller than standard size. The new streets would be the same size for con- formity. Roman Haas Raised a question regarding financing and as - 113 Mark Drive sessments on the units. Stated that he under- stood the FHA or VA would not finance a new home unless everything was included within the purchase price of the structure. He felt this should be defined. Thought the project was a "snowball job" and that zoning of R-2 allowed a PUD to go into this area. Richard Larson Stated the units can be built either way, with Builder or without assessments. If the improvements are not in at the time of purchase and have not been assessed, they can be assessed to the property owner. -5- I/ COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 26, 1981 A letter received from Paul Ginkel of Knoxville, Iowa, was read to the Council. He expressed concern regarding the value of property owned in Clifton Heights if duplexes were built to the north of his property. Richard Larson In response to a question raised regarding parking spaces, he stated that two parking spots will be provided off-street. Stated that he had shown the plans to one or two persons and would be glad to show them to anyone who was interested. Commented that no basement is not a new concept in Clifton Heights as there are one or two houses there without basements. There is no requirement to have a basement, and the City could not deny a permit for a house on slab or with- out a basement. Commented that he wants to build a develop- ment area that is appropriate to the surround- ings. The units will be different from each other and a mixture of everything. There will be a control of landscaping, and it will be a completed project. Stated some of the units are already spoken for. Those who have shown interest have re- quested garages. There is no problem with financing. Remarked that he couldn't under- stand what the "harmony talk" was about. Alderman Gruenhagen Inquired if the project would be a continuous development. Richard Larson Replied he would go into the project gradually and go in sequence. Would not sell in scat- tered spots of the development area. Roman Haas Asked about the cost of storm sewer, water, etc. into this development area. City Engineer Priebe Stated the storm sewer assessment was deferred on all the area not in the City at that time, including the proposed area. The cost would be 100%, including road, street, and anything abutting Garden Road. There would be a main- tenance agreement determining who can do what and where. COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 26, 1981 Richard Larson The Declaration of Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions contains an agreement be- tween owners of the units regarding outside paint color, shingle color, etc. Roman Haas Expressed concern about what is going to be done with these homes. Some of these things should be thought about and planned for. John Mlinar Stated harmony is important in order to be consistent. The area will be "labeled" if they are not consistent. May not be able to add on because of setbacks, etc. Area being discussed is surrounded by commercial and in- dustrial and leaves little room for movement. Felt some things have not met the requirements of the Ordinance, and there are other areas that should be looked into further. Home own- ership should be checked. Difficult to put a finger on something in black and white. Sug- gested tabling this matter until know all the ramifications of it. Lee Stritesky Expanded on what Mr. Haas had previously said. 709' Hilltop Drive Commented the residents make the City what it is, and if they are not happy what kind of City do you have. Stated he was a new resident and felt "put upon" for what has happened. Remarked that the proposed units will not be the same as the other houses in Clifton Heights, but the pride of ownership will be there. Felt that sharing walls would be the same as living in an apartment house. Questioned the bias of the City Engineer in defending some of the points discussed. Stated he was not opposed to this type of housing but was concerned about the density. Would like to see similar housing density -wise as what is presently there. Mayor Westlund expressed appreciation to the residents of Clifton Heights for the time and work they had put into this matter. He further stated the financing of the proposed project was an individual matter and should not involve the Council. He thought more research should go into what a home -7- t f t COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 26, 1981 owner can and cannot do to a piece of property and if it can be covered in a covenant agreement. The Mayor further commented that from the remarks made by the Councilmen, four items surfaced for further consideration, namely: 1. Revised Site Plan, including elevations 2. Some type of Maintenance Agreement Contract 3. Location of Park in Area (City duty) 4. Access Road(s), if possible (City duty) The motion was made by Alderman Peterson to table this item until such time as Richard Larson can provide the Council with the requested information. Seconded by Alderman Gruenhagen, the motion unanimously carried.

MISCELLANEOUS (a) COMMUNICATIONS FROM CITY ADMINISTRATOR City Administrator Plotz reported that he and the City Accountant had pre- pared two memorandums regarding the bond issue. Assessment calculations for the annual improvements were prepared, including the storm sewer. It is -15- COUNCIL MINUTES MAY 26, 1981 their intention)to assign the total cost of storm sewer for the areas to be drained, including streets, to the individual property benefitted. Areas such as City parks and City facilities will be the responsibility of the City proper and would be paid by ad valorem in taxes. He further reported that the City has taken engineering and administrative fees from the bond issue based on a set dollar amount as established in the City budget. In recent years this has been $110,000.00 ($70,000.00 engin- eering and $40,000.00 administrative), irregardless of the amount or size of the bond issue. After this procedure had been discussed with the bonding consultant and also compared with other communities, it was common practice to charge a percent- age of the estimated or the bid price of the project to the general fund. The typical percentage charges are as follows: 10% Engineering (Design) 5% Staking, Inspection, and Field Work 5% Administration 20% In addition, capitalized interest in cost of issuance are charged to the bond issue. He stated it would be their intent to make the charges pursuant to the above percentage breakdowns for both the 1980 and 1981 projects.
