CP-OI-ZI
(Date)
R SH
I would like to say that special attention should be given to the intention captured in the NorthEast District Plan with
respect to balancing proximity to nature and built-up development.
In working out the NorthEast District Plan in the mid 1990s, the building of First Avenue and Scott Boulevard were
made possible by a promise from the city to preserve a significant buffer for Hickory Hill Park.
Simply because what used to be Larson Tract can now benefit from that infrastructure should not open the way to
just any development that offers some attractive features.
I would say that City Council's primary responsibility is to shape development in an economically and ecologically
viable manner, rather than, for example, to facilitate the interests of forces seeking profitable investment.
In terms of what can and can't be built, it would NOT seem that it is the City who must revise its expectations, but
the developer who must provide a plan that meets the expectations of the conscientiously crafted NorthEast District
Plan.
As you go forward, I ask that you keep all this in mind when arriving at your best judgement.
Thank -you for your consideration.

Subject: Proposal on Tonight's City Council Agenda -- 9A - Rezd ii l4)ckory Trail Estates
RISK
Dear Members of the Iowa City Council
We are writing to ask for your careful consideration of the proposed rezoning for Hickory Trail Estates on the City
Council agenda tonight. We hope that you will deny this request.
We are opposed to the rezoning of the property from low-density single family homes to "low density single family with
a planned development overlay". Specifically we are greatly concerned about the massive nine -acre senior care facility
that is planned for this development—a complex of 135 units in three buildings, each building two to three stories in
height (four stories given the pitch of the roof of 40 feet), with 90 outdoor parking spaces.
We are also concerned about the traffic issues that will arise at the intersection of Hickory Trail and First Avenue.
As I am sure you are aware, the rezoning plan was brought to the Planning and Zoning Commission three times between
February and May 2021 and was denied twice by the commissioners, first by a 6-1 vote and then a 7-0 vote. Opposition
to the plan by neighbors and the Iowa City community was strong and commissioners called the attendance at the
meetings unprecedented with well over 100 people attending each of the first two meetings.
We are not opposed to the development of this land, which is situated in between two established neighborhoods
)Bluffwood and Hickory Heights) and adjacent to Hickory Hill Park. While a diversity of housing choices is desirable, the
location of multi -unit structures, including a large senior care facility, should be carefully considered so as not to destroy
existing neighborhoods of single-family homes. The Iowa City Comprehensive Plan 2030, reaffirmed in 2013 that the
property should be zoned for single-family homes. We ask that you support the comprehensive plan and deny this
request by the developers.
Thank you for your attention.
Sincerely,
Ann and Bill Synan
