BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicants, Tom and Karen Williams, are requesting a final plat of Kennedy Subdivision, a
40.16 acre, four -lot residential subdivision located at the south west corner of Dane Road and
Osage Street, SW. The property currently contains one single family residence; the remainder is
pasture. The preliminary plat, which was approved in November, 2002, was submitted by Mark
Kennedy — Mr. Kennedy has now sold the property to the Williams' who are requesting final plat
approval.
ANALYSIS:
This plat would create three additional building lots clustered on higher ground near Dane Road,
all to be accessed off of a new private street, Justin Court. This property is located outside the
City's growth boundary, but within Fringe Area C of the City's two-mile extraterritorial review area.
The proposed final plat conforms to the preliminary plat approved in November, 2002.
Fringe Area Agreement
The development policies for Fringe Area C indicate that for property outside of the growth area,
rezonings to RS5 (one dwelling unit per five acres of lot area) will be considered on a case -by -
case basis provided that at least 80% of the lot area is set aside for open space or agricultural
purposes. When this property was rezoned a concept plan was submitted that identified the area
to be set aside for open space. The final plat also complies with this open space requirement.
Subdivision regulations
The proposed plat is in conformance with development standards in the fringe area. City rural
design standards are being following with this plat. Justin Court is proposed to have a chip -seal
surface, as is required in the rural design standards.
Stormwater management:
Because this property lies within the Old Man's Creek watershed, stormwater management is not
required.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB02-00026 a final plat of Kennedy Subdivision, an approximate 40.16
acre, four -lot residential subdivision located at the south west corner of Dane Road and Osage
Street SW be approved, subject to approval of construction plans and legal papers prior to
Council consideration.

The City recently acquired properties on the east half of Block 102 (excluding 301 South Dubuque
Street) for the Court Street Transportation Center project. These properties are on the west side of
Dubuque Street, south of Burlington Street, north of Court Street, and east of the alley. Section 14-
61-713 of the Zoning Ordinance states that land acquired by the government of the United States, the
State or a political subdivision thereof, shall retain its existing zoning designation until such time as
the zoning map is amended to designate such land as a public zone pursuant to Section 14-6U-6.
The Public, P zoning designation serves as a notice function to those purchasing property in
2
proximity to publicly owned land, which is not ordinarily subject to the regulations of the Zoning
Chapter. The zone change application has been submitted by the City in order to bring the east half
of Block 102 (excluding 301 South Dubuque Street, Mod Pod Realty) into compliance with Section
14-61 of the Zoning Ordinance.
ANALYSIS:
The Public Zone permits the use of land, buildings or structures of the federal and state governments
and their political subdivisions. Approval of the zone change for the area will bring the property into
compliance with Section 14-61 of the Zoning Ordinance.
In addition to 600 parking spaces and covered bicycle parking, the Court Street Transportation
Center will house a Greyhound bus terminal and a child care center. While the land and
Transportation Center will be owned by the City, space will be leased to private entities, including
Greyhound and the child care center operator. The P/CB-5 zoning reflects the situation that the land
is public, but there are private entities leasing space.
The private entities will be required to meet the CB-5 zoning requirements. The Court Street
Transportation Center complies with the Near Southside Development Plan, which has been
approved by the City Council as part of the Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that REZ03-00028, a request for a rezoning from Central Business Support, CB-5
Zone, to Public, P/CB-5, for the east half of Block 102 excepting the 301 South Dubuque Street
property, be approved.

Right-of-way vacation
To allow acquisition of a portion of
the Grove Street right-of-way in
exchange for 44-sgaure feet of his
property for use as public right-of-
way

along the north lot line of 425 Beldon

South: Residential, RS-5

West: Residential, RS-5
The Comprehensive Plan
designated the area surrounding the
plot as residential and public space
The City has initiated the vacation of a 184-square foot portion of the Grove Street right-of-way.
This plot is adjacent to property owned by Paul Burns at 825 Beldon Avenue. When Mr. Burns'
surveyed his lot for the purpose of locating a fence, he found that the paved portion of the Grove
Street right-of-way encroached on his property approximately three feet at the corner of Beldon
Avenue and Grove Street. When this area was platted many years ago, the surveyors laying
out the area west of Beldon Avenue did not account for the fact that the Grove Street right-of-
way narrows by ten feet west of Beldon in a non -symmetrical fashion.
The existence of a large, mature oak tree, on the north side of the right-of-way, makes the
option of removing the encroaching pavement and shifting the pavement to the north
impractical. The City performed a survey of the area and determined that Mr. Burns' landscape
improvements to the north of the property were encroaching into the Grove Street right-of-way.
To resolve this matter and legitimize each encroachment, the City determined that a land swap
would be in the best interests of both parties. In return for Mr. Burns' conveying the 44-square
feet of property to be used as right-of-way at the intersection of Beldon Avenue and Grove
Street, the City will vacate 184-square feet of the Grove Street right-of-way extending westerly
along the south right-of-way line.
ANALYSIS:
In general release of a street or alley right-of-way should not be recommended when it would
result in 1) detrimental vehicular or pedestrian circulation, 2) elimination of street space adjacent
to a public facility, such as a park, where retention of the street might be of advantage to the
public facility, or 3) if it would inhibit the access of fire or emergency vehicles, or utility service
vehicles..
The area proposed for vacation does not appear to be used by the general public. Grove Street
does not allow for parking. The right-of-way contains an area landscaped by Mr. Burns that is
surrounded by a wrought -iron fence. The function of Grove Street will not be altered through
the vacation of this narrow portion of the right-of-way.
There does not appear to be a public benefit to keeping the west Grove Street right-of-way for
City use. The City has no future plans for the use of this right-of-way. There are no sanitary
sewers, storm sewers, or water mains within this area.
Staff has notified the utility companies of the proposed vacation. If there are any utilities in the
area to be vacated, they will need to be moved or an easement will need to be retained. We
anticipate that the utility companies will identify the location of any utilities in this area prior to
City Council consideration of this application.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City vacate the 184-square foot portion of the right-of-way located to
the north of 825 Beldon Avenue subject to the conveying of 44 square feet of property for use
as right-of-way at the intersection of Beldon Avenue and Grove Street.
