Miklo began the staff report showing on a map where the property is located. St. Andrew
Presbyterian Church is developing the property to the south of the Nepola Subdivision. As a
result of their development, the church will be improving the southern portion of Camp Cardinal Road, bringing it from a gravel road up to City street standards. The church will also construct a
new street, Gathering Place Lane, from Camp Cardinal Road to the southern boundary of the
Nepola property. Water and sanitary sewer lines will also be extended as part of the St. Andrew development. With these improvements the necessary infrastructure will be in place for
development of the Nepola property. Miklo showed a plat of the proposed property. The property is currently zoned ID, Interim
Development, which is a holding zone for areas that do not have adequate infrastructure. With the streets, water and sewer lines being brought to this property by the St. Andrew’s development this property will now have utilities necessary for development and allow the City
to now designate the property to a zoning classification that will allow for development. The applicant is requesting the property be rezoned to RS-8, Medium Density Single Family zone,
but is also requesting a Planned Development Overlay (OPD)which will allow the clustering of
otherwise single family homes into different forms of housing development.
Miklo showed some photos of the property. In addition to the rezoning the applicant is
proposing to subdivide the property into four parcels. Parcel one would be the development site for the senior housing. Outlot A would be reserved for further development and would also
contain three conservation areas where most of the sensitive areas are located. There is the
dedication of roadway for a new street that would intersect with Gathering Place Drive therefore providing the access to the property. Outlot B would joined to the adjacent property when that
property is developed. Miklo explained that the Planned Development proposal is to transfer development density that
would otherwise occur on Outlot A to Lot 1. If the medium density RS-8 zoning was applied to the entire property approximately 200 dwelling units could be achieved on this property. The proposal is to cluster 170 of those units on Lot 1. There is the potential for up to 30 additional
units on Outlot A, however at this time there is no plan for Outlot A and Miklo cautioned that any plan for Outlot A would require a subdivision and planned development approval. Hektoen
noted that the portion of the road that would be necessary to develop Outlot A is not being
preliminary platted at this time, it is only being shown conceptually on the drawings, but it is not being platted.
Miklo noted that the Comprehensive Plan for this area is the Northwest District Plan and the land use plan shows this property and the surrounding properties as being appropriate for 2-8
dwellings per acre. That would indicated it would be appropriate for RS-5 or RS-8 zoning. Miklo noted the considerations the Commission needs to review when considering a Planned
Development. One is if the density is appropriate. As noted Lot 1 is fairly dense but there is a lot of open space on Outlot A which compensates for that concentration. Another consideration is the mass and scale of the building. This will be a fairly large building, it’s about 450 feet
across and generally 4 stories (with the parking level, in some areas that makes the building 5 stories). The size of the building is alleviated by the distance from any other development in the
area. The closest residential development will be about 100 feet to the west, but several
hundred feet to the north to the Cardinal Ridge development and several hundred feet to the east to the Walnut Ridge development. Miklo also noted that if this is approved at the time of
site plan approval the building will need to be approved for compliance with the City’s
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 17, 2016 – Formal Meeting
Page 3 of 11
Multifamily Design Standards. The current proposal generally complies, there are some issues
with openings and windows in the garage level that will need to be reviewed.
Another consideration is whether the development will overburden existing streets and utilities.
Gathering Place Lane will be built as a collector street to Camp Cardinal Road which then
intersects with Camp Cardinal Boulevard. The transportation planners did some estimates based on the character of this development and feel that street network will be adequate. In the
long term the City anticipates an additional access point may occur across Southgate’s property to the west to provide additional access to Camp Cardinal Boulevard.
The next consideration is whether the development will adversely affect views, light, air, property values, and the privacy of neighbors any more than a conventional development. This development clusters development and results in more open space, even if Outlot A develops
further. The next consideration is the combination of land uses and building types and any variation from the underlying zoning requirements or from City standards will be in the public
interest, in harmony with the purpose of the zoning code and with other building regulations of
the City. The Comprehensive Plan does encourage a variety of housing types throughout the neighborhoods and also encourages senior housing. In terms of the sensitive areas plan, Miklo
explained that most of the sensitive areas are on Outlot A and are being demarcated with a
conservation easement and will not be disturbed. In terms of open neighborhood space, the Parks and Recreation Department looked at this plan and feel it is not an appropriate place for a
public park. Stormwater management is being directed to a basin and the Public Works
Department is reviewing the plan. Conceptually it works but they will review in greater detail at the final plat stage. Miklo stated there are some infrastructure fees associated with this plan
and are detailed in the Staff Report.
Staff recommends approval of REZ16-00003, a rezoning from Interim Development Single
Family Residential (ID-RS) to Planned Development Overlay (OPD-8) zone for 26.98 acres of property located on Camp Cardinal Road and staff recommends approval of SUB16-00004, a preliminary plat of Nepola Subdivision, a 3-lot, 26.98 acre subdivision located on Camp Cardinal
Road.
Freerks asked how many units would be allowed if this were to be a RS-5 zone rather than RS-
8. Miklo answered it would be roughly 130 units, because it would allow 5 units per acre.
Freerks asked if the Fire Department or Police have reviewed the street and turnaround set up.
Miklo said there may be the possibility that they will want a temporary turnaround however the design of the parking lot does provide for a turnaround internally on this site. That is a detail
they will work out at the final plat stage. Hensch asked for confirmation if the City Engineer has signed off on the stormwater
management. Miklo explained that conceptually they have, however the details have not been
worked out.
Hensch asked Miklo to speak to any connections to a trail system or sidewalks. Miklo stated there is not a trail network, the sidewalk access with be from Gathering Place Lane and Camp Cardinal Road which lead to Camp Cardinal Boulevard. He noted Camp Cardinal Boulevard
does tie into the trail network.
Freerks asked about access to Outlot A and future development. Miklo said to access the
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 17, 2016 – Formal Meeting
Page 4 of 11
northwest corner of Outlot A one would have to access through the parking lot of the
development on Lot 1 to avoid going through the sensitive areas, so there would be limited
development potential if any.
Hensch asked about the slopes in the area and when grading begins would there be a topsoil
preservation plan. Miklo answered that would be addressed at the time of site plan approval and the City is working on some new policies regarding topsoil preservations. Miklo believes
they will be reporting to the Commission this spring on those policy updates. Eastham noted there would be no connectivity from this development to the developments to
the north. Miklo confirmed that is correct, noting there is a steep ravine and some wetlands in that area so the City does not recommend a connection through that area. Eastham asked if perhaps a trail connection could happen since a street cannot. Miklo said that due to the
steepness of the area, it would likely not meet ADA requirements.
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Eric Anderson (Vice President of Development, Ryan Companies) shared a presentation of the
proposed Grand Living, noting there is a strong demand for senior housing in this area. He said
they spent a lot of time looking for land, looking at Coralville as well meeting with their City officials, but after meeting with Iowa City Staff and seeing this location they really felt this was
the right place to build.
Anderson spoke about the development. It will be 170 units at market rate level for seniors
including 75 independent units, 65 assisted living units, and 32 memory care units. Their
average age of entry is about 82 years old, and the statistics from the Alzheimer’s Association is that by the age of 85 one in three people have dementia and the other one in three will need
assisted living services. So this development is designed around a community that provides housing and amenities, it’s not a nursing home.
There will be 40 underground parking stalls for the independent living folks. The facility will have a bus for residents as well as a town-car limo for private transportation. The development
will have the feel of a high end hotel, but with healthcare. There will be three separate dining
facilities, one is a casual bistro with a full menu, casual dining and the third will be formal dining. There will be a wellness center that will have a pool, a fitness center, a spa and salon. The
fitness equipment is especially designed for senior fitness. The facility is four stories, the first
three floors are for assisted living to allow for aging in place and not having to move residents from independent care to assisted living if health deteriorates.
Anderson discussed the benefits of the site, noting the nature of the area is a plus so preserving the sensitive areas is important to them. They want to maintain the nature views for the
residents. They have met with St. Andrew’s Church and discussed possible collaborations with
common space. He also noted that proximity to Cardinal Ridge and Walnut Ridge neighborhoods is good for a development model, seniors that move into these type of facilities
are normally from a five-mile radius, or sons and daughters of residents live within a five-mile radius.
The use is low-impact, assisted living and memory care residents don’t drive and of the 75 independent residents, probably two-thirds will drive. Most traffic will be employees and visiting
family members, however it is not an intense use like an office building or retail space where
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 17, 2016 – Formal Meeting
Page 5 of 11
everyone is coming at the same time, employees come at night and family members visit on
weekends.
Anderson stated they held a Good Neighbor meeting a couple weeks ago and some of the
comments they heard were that the complex was too large and too close to the Walnut Ridge
development. Cardinal Ridge sent a letter as well noting the closeness to their neighborhood. The neighbors are concerned about the views from their homes, that it will impede views for
them of the open space. There was also concern about parking lot lightening. The parking lot that is to the west, the elevation of that parking lot is at 758 feet, to the west the peak of the knoll is about 790 feet so the knoll covers the view of the parking lot as well as the 20 foot lights
in the parking lot. There will not be exterior lights on the building. With regards to the overall intensity of the use, Anderson showed four views of the proposed building and site from neighboring properties, the closest property is over 800 feet away. He also showed comparable
senior units within the city; Melrose Meadows, Emerson Point, Walden Place, Oaknoll, and Legacy Senior Living. Anderson then showed the comparison of each of those buildings within
the neighborhoods they are placed. The closet property to Melrose Meadows (a three story
building) is 142 feet, to Walden Place (a three story building) 101 feet, to Emerson Place (a two story building) is 110 feet, Oaknoll is the largest facility and has homes as close at 30 feet, and
finally Legacy Senior Living (a three story facility) has a home 250 feet away. So from a
comparison standpoint all of those facilities can be viewed from neighboring homes and are much closer to neighboring homes than this proposed development will be. Grand Livings
proposed building is 850 feet to the closest house.
Hensch asked about possible trails or sidewalks on the property. Anderson replied that they will
for sure connect to the neighboring church however since the average age for the independent living folks is 82 and they won’t be ambling around the site, particularly if there are grade changes.
Eastham asked if children visit the facility and if there as the possibility of building a play area. Anderson said they do host activities for children visiting grandparents, such as a performance
theater, but they don’t typically build play areas but there will be some nicely landscaped areas for children to run and play.
Martin asked if there would be any units for lower-income residents. Anderson said there would not, this would be a market rate facility.
Dyer asked about an outdoor patio or picnic area and Anderson said they haven’t fully designed the landscaping yet but will likely put a gazebo out back and have some outdoor areas for
resident’s use. Eastham asked about the purpose of the drive along the north and east side. Anderson said
that was a public safety lane, it is solely for fire trucks and emergency vehicles. All deliveries will come in through the underground garage.
Eastham also asked about the access, noting there is only one access point, Camp Cardinal Road, and if that is a safety concern considering the population of the residents. Anderson said
that is the norm, there isn’t that much traffic that goes with these types of developments.
Hensch asked how they determine the adequacy of parking. Anderson said they average about
0.75 parking spots per unit, taking into account the number of independent units, employees

and family. There will be 86 surface parking stalls and 40 underground parking stalls, in any
given shift there will be no more than 30 employees, and family members come at all various
times.
Freerks noted the scale of the structure is quite large, and asked how they will try to minimize
the impact of the scale with architecture and other aesthetics. Anderson noted the pitch of the roof has been reduced, but said the reason they go to four stories in a development such as this
is to make sure someone at the furthest unit doesn’t have to work more than 125 feet to an elevator. If this building was reduced to three stories, the length would be increases and residents who use walkers would need benches to take breaks just to get to the elevator.
Anderson stated the design of the building will be a Prairie Style and roughly two-thirds of the units will have balconies. The memory care units and some of the assisted living units will not have balconies.
Dick Tucker (55 Butternut Court) stated his home is in Walnut Ridge and his back yard is on the
west and is 300 feet long. Because his property is within 300 feet of the development he
received a Good Neighbor letter at the beginning of the month. He attended the Good Neighbor meeting on March 7 and that was the first time they had seen the scale of what was being
proposed and became concerned about the size. Because notices only went to people within
300 feet, there are many other people in Walnut Ridge and Cardinal Ridge who are concerned about this project but only just learned of the project. Additionally this public hearing is taking
place in the middle of spring break, so many residents are not able to attend. Tucker would like
to encourage the Commission to defer a decision on this item so more discussion can happen. Freerks noted the 45 day limitation on this item will be April 10 and the next meeting of the
Commission is April 7, so the time period would allow for a deferral.
Tucker noted any additional time would be beneficial. He also noted the topography of the area
and that the highest point in the proposed area is a little above 770 feet. So the first floor of this building will be at 770 feet, and according to Duane Musser, the MMS Engineer at the Good Neighbor Meeting, the height of this building will go up to 830 feet. So the building is being built
on the ridge of the hill and coming up 60 feet. Tucker noted from his backyard he can clearly see where this development will be built, and everyone to the south of his property will have no
screening from the development. There are many points throughout Walnut Ridge and Cardinal
Ridge subdivisions where this development will be highly visible. Yes, the building may be 800 and some feet from the closest residence, but a building of this scale is not reasonable. This
building will be 450 feet long, and his back yard is only 300 feet long, so the building will go
along his entire lot line and half way through his neighbors.
Don Beussink (1054 Meadowlark Drive) is one of the board members and is speaking on behalf
of the homeowners association of Cardinal Ridge and Eagle Place. They are a consolidated voice of 118 homeowners and serve and represent as a group the views and interests of their
residents. They represent homeowners of five subdivisions; Cardinal Ridge Part 1, Cardinal
Ridge Part 2, Cardinal Ridge Part 3, Cardinal Ridge Part 4, Cardinal Estates and Eagle Place. The Homeowners Association own property and have direct access with their property line
abutting this property. The homeowners association board is actively involved in the community and usual aware of issues. City employees regularly post on their community website and make announcements. The homeowners were quite upset with the communication plan of the
pending zoning changes that are underway. As a board member Beussink only became aware of the proposed changes in the last few days. They feel the full level of due diligence was not extended to their homeowners association. Therefore Cardinal Ridge Homeowners Association
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 17, 2016 – Formal Meeting
Page 7 of 11
objects to the rezoning of the property for purposes of building 170 units and additionally
Cardinal Ridge Homeowners Association requests any vote on this matter be postponed until
the effected neighbors have an opportunity and reasonable amount of time to review all the materials that are part of the application. Furthermore Cardinal Ridge Homeowners
Association, which owns over 20% of the land abutting the Nepola Subdivision, notes that a
super majority is required to approve the application.
Hektoen addressed the super majority comment. At the Planning & Zoning level a super majority is not triggered by the objections of owners of 20% of the property adjacent property, that is something that is triggered at the City Council level and a formal objection must be filed.
Julie Houston represents some of the homeowners in the Cardinal Ridge subdivision and assisted in putting together a letter to the Commission. She wanted to point to the main issues
which was in tonight’s presentation there was not any mention of the view from Cardinal Ridge. Cardinal Ridge abuts the property for a length of over 1400 feet. Most of the homes are below
the elevation of this proposed development so they will be looking up at this development. The
trees on the hillside will not obstruct the view of this large building. Houston noted the idea of such a facility is wonderful. She said the neighborhood has a mixture of housing. The density on
Ryan Court may be a bit higher than in Walnut Ridge or the single family homes of Cardinal
Ridge, but still is compatible. This huge 450 foot building will be totally out of character in this neighborhood. When people moved into this neighborhood they thought homes would be built
in this area someday, as that is what it is zoned for, but the view of other homes is much
different than a view of a building of this size and scale. Houston also asks for a deferral on the vote this evening for more time to do traffic studies. Right now at certain times of the day it is
difficult to exit Kennedy Parkway onto Camp Cardinal Boulevard, so adding 100 additional cars
with the employees and residents of this facility will make a difference.
Houston also noted an interest in reviewing some of the environmental impact and the downhill slope with sensitive areas. They have already had issues with a neighboring owner mowing their property as well as cutting down trees on their property. With regards to similar facilities,
Melrose Meadows was built on 10 acres and is half the size of this proposed development. Houston reiterated that a vote is premature, and asked to extend the time to discuss this and
have some more people who are able to voice their opinions. Houston does have an online
petition that mirrors the objections of the Cardinal Ridge Homeowners Association and have 40 signatures out of the 75 addressed that do object to the scale of the building in that area.
Neil Bennett (960 Robin Road) stated he has a direct view of the property in question. What sits between his home and the property is Cardinal Ridge Outlot C. He noted they just recently
learned about proposal and the rezoning decisions to be made. They received no notifications.
He noted they are not objecting to the concept of senior housing, it is the height and scale of the facility that is objectionable. He will have direct view of the facility across the Outlot and with the
height of the building and being built on the ridge, it will definitely soar above the tree line. And
while they object to the scale of the building, he also agrees with others that the timing of notification or lack of notification was of more concern. He is asking the Commission for more
time to review and provide additional input.
Anderson addressed the question of employees and cars. He stated there would be 85
employees spread over three shifts. He also noted that they followed all the City’s procedures with regards to the Good Neighbor meeting and notifications.
Planning and Zoning Commission
March 17, 2016 – Formal Meeting
Page 8 of 11
Miklo confirmed the City’s Good Neighbor Policy states they must notify property owners within
300 feet and the source of the addresses comes from the City Assessor’s information. He
noted that the original letter to the Cardinal Ridge Homeowners Association went to a wrong address due to a post office box change, so there was no error on the applicant’s part.
Martin asked for clarification of the size of the property. Houston mentioned it was 6 acres, but isn’t is 26.9 acres. Anderson confirmed the entire Nepola property is 26.9 acres of which Great
Living is acquiring 6 to build the facility on. Anderson also addressed the height of the building, the first floor is 14 feet and each additional
floor is 11 feet. He said he can get the Commission the new measurements of the roof, now that they have reduced the pitch. Bennett stated the notification of people living within a certain distance, Cardinal Ridge
Homeowners Association has a large portion of property that abuts the applicant’s property. From their vantage point that is common ownership of all their residents so everyone in Cardinal
Ridge Subdivision should have been contacted.
Eastham moved to defer this time to the April 7 meeting. Martin seconded the motion. Eastham stated the reason for his motion is the lack of notification to homeowners so this will allow the time they need to review the proposal and voice their opinions. Eastham also asked
that the scale of the building, its length and height, be shown in more detail so people can really
see what it will look like. Freerks noted it would be nice to use the next couple of weeks to review this project and look for
solutions for this change to minimize the impact to surrounding homeowners. She also noted
that the City has standards for lightening and noise that were created to minimize impact on neighborhoods.
Hensch stated he fully supports this project, but agrees with what Freerks noted. He said the
density is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan in that Iowa City needs to increase senior housing. It appears some of the hard feelings are due to a communication error so giving a bit of extra time for people to understand the project is good.
Theobald agreed and stated her concern, but would not stop her from supporting the project, is
that ten years ago she was in a position where she had to find assisted living for a senior who did not have the money to live in most of the places in Iowa City, and that was a real eye-
opener. So she is disappointed this project won’t have a low-income option.
Eastham stated he has not made a decision on this application and if this use in this location is the best fit for the neighborhood.
A vote was taken and the motion carried 6-0.
REZONING ITEM (REZ16-00002):
Discussion of an application submitted by 1225 Gilbert, LLC & 1301 Gilbert, LLC for a rezoning
from Intensive Commercial (Cl-1) zone to Riverfront Crossings - South Gilbert District (RFC-
SG) zone for approximately 3.25-acres of property located at 1225 S. Gilbert Street and
approximately 1.3-acres of property located at 1301 S. Gilbert Street.

Miklo noted that the applicant has requested this item be deferred indefinitely.
Freerks opened the public hearing.
Seeing no one, Freerks closed the public hearing.
Eastham moved to defer this item indefinitely. Martin seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion carried 6-0.
DEVELOPMENT ITEM (SUB16-00002): Discussion of an application submitted by Equity Ventures Commercial Development LC for a
preliminary plat of Southgate Addition Part Two, a 3-lot, 3.07-acre commercial subdivision located south of Highway 6, east of Gilbert Street.
Miklo noted that the Commission recently reviewed the vacation of Waterfront Drive and that vacation was subject to the platting of this property and maintaining access to the Car-X property. So that is what is being proposed now, the property would be subdivided into three
lots. Lot 3 would contain the existing Car-X shop. In the concept plan the proposal is to build a grocery store on Lot 1 and a new restaurant replacing Carlos O’Kellys would be on Lot 2. The
access that replaces Waterfront Drive would be an access easement south of the current
Waterfront Drive, and that would be built first before Waterfront Drive is closed so that there is continued access to the Car-X property. The deficiencies on the plat regarding utilities have
been worked out, so therefore Staff is recommending approval of this subdivision.
Eastham asked if the final plat would show a different access point than is currently shown on
the preliminary plat, would that need to come back in front of the Commission. Miklo replied that if it were a significant change. Normally final plats go directly to Council if they comply with the preliminary plat.
Dyer asked how big the store on parcel one would be. Miklo said it is proposed at 68,000
square feet, however that is just informational at this point to show how the property might
develop. Freerks opened the public hearing.
Duane Musser (MMS Consultants) spoke on behalf of the application. He said the propose
grocery store is approximately 15,000 square feet. So that would allow for the space necessary
for the required parking for the use. Musser stated the final plat was submitted today showing the access point in the same location as on the preliminary plat. They will need to reroute a
sanitary sewer line that is currently under Waterfront Drive that serves Hills Bank.
Freerks asked if there are tree requirements for the large parking space. Miklo replied there are
and those would be indicated on the site plan.
Musser also noted that there would be a sliver of land that would be put in a right-of-way
easement for the City to use in the Gilbert Street/Highway 6 improvement plan. Freerks closed the public hearing.

Hensch moved to approve SUB16-00002 a preliminary plat of Southgate Addition Part
Two, a 3-lot, 3.07-acre commercial subdivision located south of Highway 6, east of Gilbert Street.
Theobald seconded the motion.
Freerks noted the improvement of this area.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
CONSIDERATION OF MEETING MINUTES: MARCH 3, 2016 Hensch moved to approve the meeting minutes of March 3, 2016.
Martin seconded the motion.
A vote was taken and the motion passed 6-0.
PLANNING AND ZONING INFORMATION:
Miklo noted several Commissioners were registered for the Iowa State Extension
Service Planning and Zoning Workshop on April 6. He is still waiting on follow-up information for that workshop and will contact everyone when he has the information.
Additionally he noted that the American Planning Association recommends that stating how you intend to vote on an item should be held until after the public hearing has
closed. Martin asked about a Northwest District Plan, since one doesn’t currently exist is it in the
works anytime soon? Miklo said there are two district plans the City hasn’t completed. The North Corridor Plan, which is north of I-80, and mostly out of city limits and the
Northwest Plan which has a significant amount of land in the University’s jurisdiction so
it’s been a low priority.
ADJOURNMENT:
Theobald moved to adjourn.
Martin seconded.
A vote was taken and motion carried 6-0.
