Public hearing regarding a Preliminary Site Development Plan for Squaw Creek Crossing Apartments located west of 62 nd Street, south of Hennessey Parkway, and north of Carlson Way. (Ridge Development Company, LLC) 2.F.2 Resolution No. approving a Preliminary Site Development Plan for Squaw Creek Crossing Apartments located west of 62 nd Street, south of Hennessey Parkway, and north of Carlson Way. (Ridge Development Company, LLC) 2.F.3 Resolution No. approving a Final Site Development Plan for Squaw Creek Crossing Apartments located west of 62 nd Street, south of Hennessey Parkway, and north of Carlson Way. (Ridge Development Company, LLC) Exhibit(s): A: Narrative B: Squaw Creek Crossing Apartments Preliminary Site Development Plan C: Squaw Creek Crossing Apartments Final Site Development Plan D: Elevations Site Plan Overview Ridge Development Company, LLC submitted a Hennessy Pkwy preliminary and final site development plan for Squaw Creek Crossing Apartments to be located south of Hennessy Parkway and west of 62 nd Street. 13 & st Add. Preliminary Site Development Plan Three (3) apartment buildings are indicated to be built on 4.22 acres, with the southernmost building (Building C) to include a mix of 1 st floor commercial/office space with residential apartments on the upper floors. According to the applicant, the Hwy 151 Hwy nd St Phone (319) nburlage@cityofmarion.org Fax (319)

2 th Avenue, Suite 210 Marion, Iowa F.1-3 proposed buildings are to be constructed as one project with a tentative completion date of all three buildings in These plans resemble the 13 & st Addition Preliminary Site Development Plan for the multifamily portion within the 13 & 151 Development Design Guidelines which illustrates two residential buildings, with the third building to consist of commercial. The proposed site development plans show the two residential buildings parallel to each other with the creation of a green feature between the two buildings for residents to enjoy. With the new orientation, the open-air parking spaces were pushed to the outside of the lot versus having them centered between all three buildings as indicated within the 13 & 151 Design Guidelines. Each building will include residential units, respectively, along with enclosed at-grade parking. The two northern buildings (Buildings A & B) will have 29 parking spaces in a common garage area, while Building C will include 16 individual garages for residents. In addition to the enclosed garage parking, there will be 107 open-air parking stalls, including eight (8) handicap spaces. Proposed Site Development Plan The applicant has provided more than enough parking onsite between the enclosed parking and open-air parking. Standard parking requirements for a non-planned Unit Development zoning district would have required Phone (319) nburlage@cityofmarion.org Fax (319)

3 th Avenue, Suite 210 Marion, Iowa F.1-3 a total of 168 stalls; the proposed plans specify a total of 181 stalls to be located onsite. By having more than enough onsite parking, staff s concerns of past projects relying to heavily on the shared parking agreement, creating the potential for a parking shortage at full buildout of the development does not exist with this project. The proposed plans kept the vehicular connection between Carlson Way and Hennessy Parkway and the driveway between the apartments and adjacent hotel/event center as illustrated on the 13 & st Addition Preliminary Site Development Plan. Two additional internal driveways are being provided to 62 nd Street and Carlson Way. The additional driveway off 62 nd Street provides residents an additional entrance along 62 nd Street without having to go through the parking alongside the commercial/office building. Internal pedestrian connections are also indicated on the plans between the residential buildings and the mixed-use building. Sidewalk connections between the lot and adjacent lots to the west and south are also designated on the plans. Established within the 13 & 151 Design Guidelines, these connections are an important aspect to the overall connectivity of the mixed-use development as they provide residents in the area, along with shoppers and restaurant goers a safe walkable environment. Landscaping Adequate landscaping is shown on the preliminary and final site development plans. However, staff has a few concerns regarding the placement of trees in proximity to each other and the spread of the canopy at maturity. These concerns will be addressed with the landscaping plan staff has requested to be included with the building permit submission, which will include a species list. At that time, staff may require additional plantings or modifications to the proposed landscaping plan. Indicated on the plans, the developer will be using live wall system dumpster enclosures. Live wall system dumpster enclosures are indicated within the 13 & 151 Design Guidelines as adding a modern touch while complementing the architecture style of the development. Staff will review the plantings to be used with the live wall system as part of the landscaping plan as well. Elevations The building elevations depict a contemporary style which are similar to those illustrated within the 13 & 151 design Guidelines, as well as, the style of the approved hotel which will be on an adjacent lot. Primary entrances into the apartment buildings are identified by a taller façade then the majority of the building along with wall signage, and planter boxes. The entrances into the commercial/office spaces are designated by large windows and store signage. Fiber cement board will be used as the primary material in gray and wood tones. Fiber cement board is on the approved list of materials within the 13 & 151 Design Guidelines. Signage According to the plans, three (3) monument signs are to be installed along with wall signs for each apartment building and the commercial/office spaces. The signs will be reviewed by staff for compliance Phone (319) nburlage@cityofmarion.org Fax (319)

4 th Avenue, Suite 210 Marion, Iowa F.1-3 with City Code requirements. Two of the monument signs will be located off 62 nd Street, one at the Carlson Way entrance and one at the driveway into the apartment complex. The third monument sign will be located off Hennessy Parkway at that driveway into the apartment complex. Recommendation Planning & Zoning Commission recommends approval of the request by Ridge Development Company, LLC regarding the preliminary and final site development plans for the Squaw Creek Crossing Apartments. The site development plans meet the general integrity of the 13 & 151 Design Guidelines which were created for the overall development. Phone (319) nburlage@cityofmarion.org Fax (319)

15 3.F.7 council memo DATE: Friday, November 30, 2018 TO: Mayor and Marion City Council FROM: Kesha Billings, AICP Associate Planner RE: Resolution No. authorizing an additional funding application to the Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization for Surface Transportation Block Grant funds in the amount of $182, and committing to provide local matching funds of $45,500 for transit stop improvements in Marion. Exhibit(s): BPAC letter of recommendation In 2016 the Corridor Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMPO) Policy Board amended its funding policy to allow for 20% of its annual transportation funding to go towards transit related projects. These are Federal Surface Transportation Block Grant funds that can cover up to 80% of the project costs, with local funds making up the remaining 20%. In 2016 the City of Marion applied for $315,200 in Federal funds, but the process was highly competitive, and the City was only awarded $134,000. At their November 27, 2018 meeting, the Marion Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) recommended the City Council approve an additional funding request to the CMPO for the remaining transit stop funds. This funding request would be for 2023 funding, but staff would work towards having the funding awards combined for ease of implementation. This funding is not anticipated to put full transit stop accommodations at each stop, but rather install a concrete pad, bench, and/or shelter at the stops with the highest ridership. CR Transit currently tracks the ridership at each stop, so this information will be available to determine priority at the time of selection. Staff concurrence of BPAC recommendation: City Council approve application for additional $182,000 in STBG funding and committing to a local match of $45,500 for transit stop improvements in Marion.

Resolution No. accepting quit claim deed for a portion of Collins Road rightof-way located adjacent to Collins Road Square, 1392 Twix Town Road from the City of Cedar Rapids. 10. Resolution No. _ accepting easement plat associated with Collins Road Square located at 1392 Twix Town Road from the City of Cedar Rapids. Exhibit(s): Exhibit "A" - Easement Plat Exhibit "B" - Acquisition Plat The following are related to action staff presented to the City Council on September 20, At that meeting Staff recommended that an easement through Collins Road Plaza be realigned consistent with the parking layout. The original easement, established through condemnation in Cedar Rapids, was placed through parking spaces. At the time it was not realized that in order for the easement to be amended by Marion, the easement would have to be accepted by the City Council as the easement was specifically awarded to Cedar Rapids in the condemnation proceeding. The following action provides for the acceptance of the easement and the vacation of the portion of the easement which was realigned. The Easement Plat is attached as Exhibit "A". Additionally, there is a po11ion of Collins Road that was acquired through condemnation. The right of way plat attached as Exhibit "B" identifies said prope11y. The Collins Road project has been managed by Cedar Rapids through a 28E Agreement. Upon condemnation proceedings the parcel was deeded to Cedar Rapids and should have been deeded to the City of Marion as it falls within our jurisdiction. The following action would ensure the right of way in Marion is owned and controlled by the City of Marion.

32 3.F.15 council memo DATE: Friday, November 30, 2018 TO: FROM: Mayor & City Council Thomas Treharne, AICP Planning & Development Director Attached as exhibit A are s regarding a street light recently placed on Williams Drive, west of 10 th Street in Country Club Estates subdivision, located south of Lowe Park. The street light was placed as a part of the plan of improvements and consistent with City Policy. As you can see there are concerns with the lighting from the established neighborhood annexed in 2014/15. In my response I detailed the City Policy and rationale for placement of the identified light. Additionally, I notified those submitting the that the topic would be discussed at the City Council Meeting on Dec 6. From a staff perspective, the light placement is consistent with City Policy, has been placed by the developer (at his cost) after review and approval by the City Council as a part of the Plan of Improvements. The light increases the safety of both pedestrians and motorist in and area as Williams Drive does curve a bit in this area and said light does/would provide clarity at night. Exhibit B highlights the location of the light and the way the road meanders in this area. Staff would point out that removal would be at the City s expense and may not be desirable by the developer who placed the light at his expense. It was noted that Ms. Mohling did not feel the intent of the annexation agreement was being upheld; I do not feel this statement is accurate. If we were contemplating lighting in Ms. Mohling s subdivision that may be true, but this is on adjacent property and proposed as a part of an overall development plan. While staff understands the issues brought forward by Ms. Mohling and the neighborhood, we do not feel the City should expend dollars to remove the light and therefore recommend that it remain in place.

33 2.F.15 Exhibit A From: Annette Mohling <annette.mohling@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, November 15, :50 PM To: ttreharne@cityofmarion.org Subject: NEWLY INSTALLED STREET LIGHT ON WILLIAMS DRIVE Dear Tom Treharne: Our family lives on the SW corner of Shady Oak and Williams Drive. You recently installed a street light behind our property on the north side of Williams Drive. I realize that the light pole is not sitting directly on property which was annexed under extreme duress, with the understanding and commitment that no changes would be made or forced upon us by the City of Marion that would change the character of our neighborhood without our specific request and/or approval. The unwanted light pollution significantly alters the quality of our lives. The light pollution invades the interior of our home, to the extent that we may need to buy blackout drapes to have anything but a brightly lit bedroom. We take great joy and pride in our Christmas seasonal lighting. That lighting quality and joy has been diminished by the over whelming light from the street, that washes out the crispness and colors of our decorations that we have enjoyed for years. I respectfully request that you respect the intent of the annexation agreement, to not change the character of our suburban neighborhood. We would like the light pole removed so we do not feel like we live next to a stadium or parking lot under stadium lighting. A friendly social fire in the back yard somehow loses its ambiance when the yard is fully lit. Star gazing is long gone, and the enjoyment of the home we bought has been diminished. In addition, I have contacted a considerable number of our annexed neighbors and they agree the unwanted light pollution is in violation of our annexation agreement. Also, the letter we received regarding 3 stop signs and moving of mailbox was received by neighbors after the fact because the work was done the Friday before what was stated in letter. Please let me know your recommendations for a resolution to our problem by light removal so close to our property.

34 2.F.15 From: Tom Treharne Sent: Tuesday, November 20, :20 PM To: Annette Mohling Cc: Gary Young; Shelley Kamp; Ryan Miller; Mike Barkalow; Anne Kroll; Robert Schlegel; Lon Pluckhahn; Mayor, City of Marion Subject: RE: NEWLY INSTALLED STREET LIGHT ON WILLIAMS DRIVE Good morning, The light you are referencing was placed as a part of the subdivision development occurring to your west and was placed in conformance with standard street light placement standards and policy. If there is a desire to have the street light removed the City Council would need to direct the action. The engineering department reviews all subdivision plats and identifies the location of street lighting based on a 600 foot spacing requirement. In conversations with the them the spacing of the subject light is 400 from the next light (west) and was place because it is at the edge of a subdivision without lighting within 600 to the east. This was only done based on current policy and safety concerns. If the City Council chooses to have the light removed it would not violate to the 600 requirement. With regard to the mailbox relocation and stop sign placement; it s my understanding that public services contacted each individual that was impacted by the moving of the mailboxes prior to the work and did everything necessary to ensure the work was completed as desired by the residents. A letter may have been late regarding the moving of the stop signs; but that work was completed at the request of the neighborhood if this caused any inconvenience my apologizes. It is also my understanding that Public Services also trimmed up some willow trees in the area as well to accommodate the residents. There was certainly no ill will intended by the work. I have spoken to the City Engineer, Mike Barkalow, and Public Services Director, Ryan Miller, regarding my correspondence and if you need to understand either situation in more detail please reach out to them. They are both CC d on this but can also be reached by phone (Mike /Ryan ) The Mayor and City Manager are also on this correspondence. I think it would be best is if your request were received and filed by City Council at the December 6 City Council meeting; at that time City Council could direct whatever action they so desire. If there is guidance from staff requested, issues such as this are forwarded to an internal Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) that makes a recommendation to City Council. Essentially the same process that was preformed regarding the request for stop signs by your neighborhood. I hope this provides some clarity to the situation as well as next steps, assuming you want to this to proceed with the request to have light removed I will have this added to the December 6 agenda. Kind regards, Thomas D. Treharne, ACIP Community Development Director City of Marion p Phone (319) ttreharne@cityofmarion.org Fax (319)
