CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: November 18, 2019 ACTION ITEM # 7 FROM: Tom Everett, Fire Chief

Resolution authorizing Sioux City Fire Rescue to submit a grant application SUBJECT: to Firehouse Subs in the amount of $3,041.75 for the purposes of purchasing 250 smoke alarms for use in the SAFE Home Program.

Department Finance De- City City Man- Reviewed By: x x x x Director partment Attorney ager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests the City Council approve a resolution authorizing Sioux City Fire Rescue to submit a grant application to Firehouse Subs in the amount of $3,041.75 for the purposes of purchasing 250 smoke alarms for installation in homes of citizens in Sioux City.

DISCUSSION: Although a comprehensive study is still underway, Sioux City Fire Rescue is taking steps to decrease the number of fires in areas that have statistically shown a higher number of fire- related incidents. In 2011, Sioux City Fire Rescue announced a new free three-step fire safety program. The SAFE Home Program includes a home fire and safety guide book, a free volun- tary home fire safety inspection and, if needed, Sioux City Fire Rescue will install two dual- sensor smoke alarms in any home at no cost to the homeowner. The goal of this program is to educate the public about the dangers of fire, and to ultimately minimize the loss of life and property in residential occupancies that may not be able to afford smoke alarms. Since 2011, Sioux City Fire Rescue has conducted over 850 SAFE Home inspections and installed over 1,500 smoke alarms through this program.

Sioux City Fire Rescue also partners with the Siouxland Chapter of the American Red Cross and other local volunteers to canvas economically depressed neighborhoods with a history of residential fires to check/install smoke alarms. To date, more than 600 smoke alarms have been installed in Sioux City homes that otherwise did not have early notification of a fire.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total cost of this project is $3,041.75. There is no match.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Relates to Core Operation II. Health and Safety

ALTERNATIVES: Not apply for the grant money, but staff does not recommend that.

Resolution approving Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement with JEO Consulting Group, Inc. for additional construction SUBJECT: services in connection with the Rose Hill Alley, Inlet, Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Project (Project No. 6930A-719-229) in an amount not to exceed $10,111.00.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approve Amendment No. 1 to the Consulting Services Agreement with JEO Consulting Group, Inc. for additional design and construction services in connection with the Rose Hill Alley, Inlet, Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Improvement Project (Pro- ject No. 6930A-719-229) in an amount not to exceed $10,111.00.

DISCUSSION: On January 29, 2018, under Resolution 2018-0037, the City entered into a Consulting Ser- vices Agreement in an amount not to exceed $69,018.00 with JEO Consulting Group, Inc. for the design, construction administration and inspection services related to the Rose Hill Alley, Inlet, Sidewalk and Curb Ramp Improvement Project.

The project included: • Alley paving from 15th Street to 16th Street (between Main Street and McDonald Street) • Ten (10) inlet replacements within the Rose Hill Urban Renewal Area • Three (3) segments of sidewalk replacement (approximately 435 feet in total length) • Thirty-seven (37) curb ramp replacements or new installations

The project required additional construction administration and construction observation due to construction completion time overrun of 29 days. The contractor will be required to pay $14,500.00 in liquidated damages which would cover the cost of this amendment.

On October 28, 2019, staff asked City Council to approve Amendment No. 1 for an estimated engineering fee not to exceed $12,200.00. City Council deleted the item from the agenda and directed staff to work with JEO to ensure the costs were accurate and appropriate with regard to the wall built in conjunction with the alley reconstruction. The construction project was not yet closed, so the exact actual additional engineering / construction administration cost was not known at the October 28, 2019 Council meeting. JEO has since calculated their actual costs associated with this project and the revised amount of the Amendment No. 1 is not to

exceed $10,111.00. Of the $10,111.00, a total of $1,294.50 is related to the review of the retaining wall drawings. Because no retaining drawing review was included in the original JEO scope, City staff recommend that the full $10,111.00 amendment be approved.

The total contract, including Amendment No. 1, is not to exceed $79,129.00.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is funded using Community Development Block Grant Funds under CIP 719-229, Rose Hill Public Improvements.

CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: November 18, 2019 ACTION ITEM # 10B Janelle M. Bertrand, Human Resources Director FROM: David Carney, Public Works Director Mark Simms, Utilities Director

Resolution amending the Position Classification Manual adopted by Resolu- tion No. 91/T-9972 by renaming the position, title and job description of Envi- ronmental Services Manager, Class Code 6678, to Environmental Services SUBJECT: Program and Development Manager, Class Code 6678; approving and adopting an updated job description for said Environmental Services Program and Development Manager Position, amending the salary schedule and authorizing said position in the Utilities Department and Public Works Department.

Department Finance City City Reviewed By: x x x Director Department Attorney Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council pass a resolution renaming the position, title and job description of Environmental Services Manager to Environmental Services Program and Develop- ment Manager and reassigning the position from a Pay Range S-23 to a Pay Range S-20.

DISCUSSION: Currently the department has an Environmental Services Analyst in the position complement which is responsible for these duties. Management has restructured the job duties for this program and wishes to use the Environmental Services Manager job classification. The duties have been edited to include a larger scope of the work performed and we have changed the title to Environmental Services Program and Development Manager.

Duties of this position will include many of the duties that were being performed by the Envi- ronmental Services Analyst, however it will enable the two Departments to expand upon the most critical functions of Stormwater Program Management to better achieve compliance with the federal MS4 Program requirements, Solid Waste Contract oversight, Grant writing and reporting, and Development Plans. This further enables the Utilities and Public Works De- partments to accomplish critical functions. The program management functions needed to effectively perform these duties are reflected in the revised job description.

For succession planning it is imperative we have job descriptions that articulate the qualifications, competencies, knowledge, skills and abilities needed to perform the work in order to attract and retain personnel. As an organization we need to ensure appropriate job titles are in place which reflect the work assigned and performed.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This position will be funded through the Utilities Department/Wastewater Treatment Plant. The Classification will be S-20 with a range of $68,446.61 to $95,839.19. The current vacancy in the budget complement in the\ Utilities Department is an Environmental Systems Analyst (D- 16) $52,656.96 - $73,719.88. We would like to replace the Environmental Systems Analyst FTE with the Environmental Services Program and Development Manager. There will be some added costs due to the higher salary range of this position. In FY20 these added costs will be offset by unexpended salary costs due to the current vacancy. Previously the Envi- ronmental Services Manager was a salary class S-23, however some of the functions of that position are no longer needed.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN: Progressive Leadership

ALTERNATIVES: Defer approval of the position.

MEMBERS PRESENT MEMBERS ABSENT STAFF PRESENT Eric Coleman David Silverberg Chris Madsen, Senior Planner Jason Geary, Chair Ryan Ross, Vice Chair Brent Nelson, Senior Planner Cindy O’Neill Erin Berzina, Planner Michelle Bostinelos Larissa Carrell, Admin Secretary Suzan Stewart Caleb Christopherson, City Attorney

Ross called the meeting to order at 5:38 p.m., and read the opening statement explaining the procedure. He then introduced the Board members and City staff to the audience. The Board was asked if any had contact with the owner, petitioner, agent, or anyone listed on the notification list regarding the agenda items.

Agenda Item 2019-0065: Requested Conditional use permit pursuant to section 25.02.190.14 of the Municipal Code for property located at 4600 48th Street (Petitioner: Lowell Krediet)

Chris Madsen presented the conditional use permit. This is for a one-year extension on a borrow pit at the site. Madsen gave the history of the CUP which was originally approved in 2010. Extensions were granted in 2013 (one year), 2014 (two years), and 2017 (two years) bringing us current. After the grading is complete, the land must be grassed for two years before any farm- ing can take place. There is very little activity with only 10 trucks per week leaving the site. Madsen stated, at this time staff will recommend approval.

O’Neill asked, with the long history on this borrow pit, do we just keep approving them. Madsen stated that with approving for only one year we can review regularly. We can choose to deny at a future date if there are complaints or the petitioner is not complying with the rules. Stewart wanted to know if there have ever been any complaints on the site. Madsen stated not to his knowledge unless they went directly to the environmental staff. Stewart inquired about the notification that was sent out. Madsen stated 8 notices were sent within the notifications area (200 feet plus right-of-way), with no comments returned.

Petitioner: Lowell Krediet (150 Firethorn Trail, Dakota Dunes, South Dakota) stated that he had hoped to have this completed, but due to the wet weather, he had been unable to do so. He stated that he wants to take out the harsh edge that is still there so that the land can be farmed without any danger to the farmer or their equipment. Krediet stated that he hopes to have it completed around November of this year, weather dependent.

Bostinelos (Coleman) moved to approve item. Motion carried. 5-0-0 (Yes: O’Neill, Stewart, Coleman, Bostinelos, Ross, No: 0 Abstain: 0).

1. Other Business a. Other items brought forward by the Board and / or staff. b. Approval of the minutes of the August 13, 2019 meeting.

b. Regional HPC Meetings Discussion Macfarlane volunteered to facilitate the next regional meeting of Historic Preservation Commissions to be hosted in Sioux City this fall. She suggested adding the Yankton His- toric Preservation Commission to the regional effort.

c. City Council Quarterly Report Recap The Commission would like to defer this item to the October 3rd meeting so John can present the recap.

d. CLG Grant Update and Timeline for Future Funds

Berzina reported on several conversations with Paula Mohr, State CLG Coordinator, from the State Historic Preservation Office to gain guidance and understanding of the process to create a downtown historic district and/or smaller area historic district in Sioux City. Staff also checked with two local architects to determine how much a downtown historic survey and National Register of Historic Places nomination might cost. One ball- park estimate for an overview walking survey of downtown buildings was estimated at $1,085 per building for survey and research. Custer shared concerns that if the City continues implementing smaller historic districts with different design standards, as Historic Fourth and Historic Pearl have conflicting standards, there could be numerous design standards throughout the downtown. If the design standards for Historic Fourth would be guaranteed to be implemented for each new historic district created, Custer may be in support of creating smaller districts. If those design standards are not guaranteed, the Commission may not support moving forward with any historic district concept. Staff suggested inviting Paula Mohr and/or Steve King of the State Historic Preservation Of- fice and Bob Scott to a special meeting to talk through the process of a downtown historic district in Sioux City. Custer suggested moving forward with a local historic district if a federal/state historic district is not going to be feasible. The group talked about the Vogel study and lack of accuracy, and Staff informed that the Vogel study also utilized a CLG grant. A discussion of past mistakes and how to avoid those mistakes going forward would be very beneficial.

6. Committee Reports a. Website Update: No additional update. b. Social Media: No additional update. c. Placard List/Properties of Interest: No additional update. d. Downtown Historic District Sub-Committee No additional update.

7. Announcements / Other Business Strohbeen suggested that someone facilitate the moving of the Abraham Lincoln statue and perhaps the mural in the Castle on the Hill Apartments to the museum, as the Castle Associa- tion may soon not be located in the building. Their lease has not been renewed.

The City Clerk has not received any new member applications and there are two unfilled posi- tions. Strohbeen noted two acquaintances that are interested in applying.

Fullerton (Macfarlane) moved to adjourn the meeting at 5:03 p.m. All present voted aye. The next scheduled meeting will be held at City Hall Pre-Council Chambers, on Tuesday, October 1, 2019 at 4:00 p.m.

3. Historic Airport Chapel Relocation Mike Collett (Guest) spoke to the group on the historic airport chapel relocation. The chapel is underutilized and needs some repair. A previous Airport Board of Trustees voted to de- molish the structure 5-6 years ago, but that decision has been reversed and the current Board would like to relocate the structure in order to clear the land for future development options. Collett worked with the FAA, the SHPO and other federal agencies to achieve a memorandum of agreement between the agencies to move the structure and potentially sell the land for the last several years. Moore has been a supporter of the moving and restora- tion of the chapel. The City approached the Mid America Museum of Aviation & Transporta- tion to accept the chapel on their land. They voted not to acquire and move the chapel due to cost of moving and upkeep of the building. However, moving the chapel to that location may still be a possibility in the future with funding help. The estimated cost to move the chapel is $25,000. There are no current plans to sell the piece of land for development but this process will help the development of the property when an opportunity arises. Vodo- chodsky asked what the Commission can do to help. Dan Moore (Guest) asked for the Commission’s support to move the chapel at the appropriate time to another location. Bur- rows (Guest) asked if the chapel originally carried a specific denomination. Custer responded that most chapels on military bases are non-denominational. Strohbeen (Custer) moved to support the effort to relocate and restore the historic airport chapel and to submit a letter of support stating such to the Airport Board of Trustees and the City Council. Staff will draft a letter of support for the Commission’s review and approval. Vestweber asked if the chapel land was being considered because of its value or if it was going to be used as a park or some other purpose. Collett responded that that land is being considered for future development because of the location and development potential. All present voted aye. (7-0) Bur- rows inquired if the space available after the chapel is moved could be used for an indigent housing or detox center. He also asked if the EPA is still monitoring the WWII fuel storage tanks at that location. Collett responded that the monitoring period is nearly closed because of lack of activity. However, the EPA monitoring area is not located near the chapel land.

4. Old Business a. Financial Report – History of Revenue and Expenditures Carrell presented information on the last three years’ withdrawals and deposits. It has been a labor-intensive process. The final balance is accurate. She suggests moving the HPC funds from the current private city line item to a standalone bank account with a local bank in order to keep better track of withdrawals and deposits. She provided an example of what the city’s financial printouts look like and the hundreds of line items in the city’s system. More details on transactions would be very helpful to ensure HPC funds are not mistakenly drawn for another project. Carrell is willing to continue as the staff treasurer of the account. Staff will research bank options and speak with the City Fi- nance department on a transition process. b. Sign Guide for Historic Districts Staff gathered comments from the Zoning Enforcement Officer, Ron Kueny, on the sign guide. Kueny provides sign permit reviews and approvals for all sign applications. He provided minor comments and signed off on the guide. There was discussion that this sign guide is not meant to cover murals. Murals will be reviewed separately from signs in historic districts. The group will vote on the sign guide at the November meeting.

5. New Business a. Monthly Financial Report Erin Berzina stated the current balance is $10,269.79.

b. Regional HPC Meetings Discussion Macfarlane is in the process of setting the next regional meeting. It is proposed to be held in early-mid November, before the holidays. The group discussed some possible locations to hold such a large group for lunch to include City Hall Lower Level or Council Chambers to cater. Once a group size is estimated, a location can be chosen and Car- rell will help coordinate the food order.

c. City Council Quarterly Report Recap Vodochodsky provided a summary of the City Council Quarterly Report given at the Sep- tember 23rd City Council meeting. He gave an update of progress on the items discussed at the March Joint City Council meeting. Custer will provide the next update to the City Council after the holidays in January. The City Council seemed very responsive to the group’s idea to use city funds to match state grants to hire a consultant for the downtown district survey project. The group discussed the city’s procurement process and the need to monitor the consultant selection process, and establish a system where the consultant provides updates prior to payments for the project. A prior downtown historic district survey was not completed satisfactorily and the group insists that there be measures in place to negate that risk.

6. Committee Reports a. Website Update: No additional update. b. Social Media: Kenney asked if there are certain guidelines to follow when posting to the Historic Preservation Commission Facebook page. Staff and the Commission will provide more content for Kenney to post. c. Placard List/Properties of Interest: Staff provided the placard list for August and Sep- tember. Very few properties have been red-tagged since the beginning of September. d. Downtown Historic District Sub-Committee

Vestweber asked if there is a process written down on how to research a historic building to determine its significance. Custer will draft a process and send to Vodochodsky to review. The process is straightforward but can be very tedious.

7. Announcements / Other Business Macfarlane mentioned that today is the deadline to RSVP for the City Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on October 10th at the Sioux City Convention Center. Please RSVP to Heidi Farrens if you plan to attend.

Vodochodsky mentioned that he and Jeff Buckman from the Scottish Rite (801 Douglas St) spoke about the Local Landmark nomination form for the building that has been through one SHPO review and has stalled. Vodochodsky will follow up with Jim Jung, the original nomination author, to see if this is a project he would still like to pursue or if he would like the group to pro- ceed with a resubmittal of the application. Vodochodsky also said he would be happy to arrange a tour of the Scottish Rite for the group.

Strohbeen mentioned the old Jewish Orthodox Church on the southeast corner of 14th St/Nebraska St and wonders if it is being cared for by the owner since it is currently presumed vacant. He was also concerned about the Jewish Community Center on the northwest corner of the same intersection and the brick being painted black and the painting left incomplete. He wonders if there is an enforcement action to be taken with the new owner of that building.

Strohbeen updated the group on the status of the Lincoln statue located in the old Central High School building. The Castle on the Hill Association approached Steve Hanson (Sioux City Public Museum) to donate the statue to the museum to display. Hanson agreed to house the statue but he could not guarantee permanent display. The Association would rather have it on permanent display in the City Hall atrium space. The Association is scheduled to end their lease at the old Central High School on December 31st. They would like to renew the lease but it is still pending. The large murals in the hall may also be proposed to be relocated. The murals are on canvas and are very large, but moveable. Staff will check with the City Manager’s office to see if it may be placed in city hall. Vestweber suggested checking with the new Expo Center as well.

Staff mentioned that J Development (Omaha) may submit an application next month to the HPC to designate 625 Douglas Street, the new LAMB Theatre, as a Local Landmark. The HPC will review the application and make a recommendation, and then the application will be submitted to the SHPO for their review.

Macfarlane (Custer) moved to adjourn the meeting at 5:12 p.m. All present voted aye. The next scheduled meeting will be held at City Hall Pre-Council Chambers, on Tuesday, November 5, 2019 at 4:00 p.m.

5. Staff reports

A copy of the Directors’ report was included in the monthly packet.

Ms. Mackey advised the commission on the need to add source of income or payment as a protected class status. Amending the ordinance to add that protection would help one of the most common barriers that Section 8 recipients face in trying to obtain housing. Many recipients have expressed difficulty in finding safe, cleaning, affordable housing that would be willing to accept their housing voucher. Other communities have been successful in adding source of income or payment as well as Veteran status to their ordinances. Once an amendment to the ordinance is approved, it would also need to be approved by HUD.

4. Approve the Minutes – September 18, 2019 [Action Item]

McKenny moved approval of the minutes from September 18, 2019. Schaefer seconded. Motion approved unanimously.

5. Director’s Report Rigdon attended the IUPLA quarterly meeting in Des Moines with Youth Services Manag- er, Adrienne Dunn, for a separate meeting for Youth Services mangers. Dunn found the meeting to be helpful with lots of information. Due to a rash of counterfeit $50 bills in Sioux City the Library decided to not accept any bills larger than a $20 bill and signs were posted at each service desk. Rigdon and Dunn both gave separate tours to two Lego Robotics groups that are tasked to tour a public space and try to solve an issue they might be expe- riencing. The new AWE Computer is now in the Youth Services area for children age 2 to 12. This is a computer with preloaded learning programs and is not internet accessible. Touch screen and mouse can control it. The program previously called One Book One Siouxland, has been restructured, and is now called Sioux City Reads. There will be more information to follow on this program. The quarterly statistics were included in the report and trustees reviewed all statistics. Circulation is down 3.3% over the same time last year. This continues to be a national trend. Rigdon stated that staff is investigating new ways to provide service and hope to include this in the new strategic plan.

Schaefer moved approval of claims as submitted. McKenny seconded. Motion approved unanimously.

7. Unfinished Business

8. New Business A. Fiscal Year 2020-2021 Operating Budget Library staff submitted an initial operating budget for the fiscal year 2020-2021 per City Finance Department instructions. The Finance Department staff figures the personnel budget per contract with Communications Workers of America, and per required labor and benefit regulations. The Library did request an overall operating budget increase of $4,265. The Library has not requested any increase for several years. This year’s increase is due to amor- tization of new staff computers and software licensing for new equipment purchased, including new self-checks for the Morningside Branch Library. Rigdon provided copies of the submitted Operating Budget for the trustees to review. Rigdon will meet with the City Manager and Finance Director on November 12. There will be public hearings in January and February with the City Council to review the Operating and Capi- tal Improvement budgets.

B. Friends and Foundation Update The Friends of the Sioux City Public Library met on Monday, October 21, and reviewed the requests for funding submitted by Library staff. The Friends are reviewing the projects further and have decided to wait until their November 18 meeting to make a final decision on approval. Rigdon will recommend the Library Board approve the requests that the Friends have agreed to fund at the next meeting The Sioux City Public Library Foundation meet at the Morningside Branch Library on September 26, 2019. They moved to fund on half of the Graphics/Communication Specialist position, to purchase a new sign for the Morningside Branch Library as approved by the Library Board at their September meeting. They also moved that the balance of the annual distribution expended at the discretion of the Library with approval from the Library Board of Trustees. Vereen asked about the history of the Foundation and the Friends of the Sioux City Public Library.

C. Plaque for Donations [Action Item] The Traveler’s Book Club would like to donate a $1,000, to purchase an item for use in the Library, from the husband of a deceased member dedicated in her name. The Club would like a plaque affixed to a purchased item in memory of the deceased. The practice at the Library has been no gifts under $5,000 being recognized by plaques. Discussion continued on the longevity of support from the Traveler’s Book Club and the fact that a policy is not currently in place. The Trustees agree that a monetary donation policy should compiled and presented for approval at a future meeting to provide clear answers to this question in the future.

McKenny moved approval of a one-time exception of accepting the $1,000 donation to purchase a book display and attaching a plaque, purchased by the Traveler’s Club, in consideration of their long-standing support of the Library. Vereen seconded. Mo- tion carried unanimously

9. Public Comments There were no public comments

OLD BUSINESS:

Museum Facilities: Hansen noted the Museum’s atrium area has been cold so he has submitted an email to Brian Fahrendholz to check on the heating status. The Museum often needs to adjust the HVAC system during seasonal changes. Hansen noted it has been fairly quiet at the Sgt. Floyd Welcome Center. Staff will be installing new carpet on the 1st deck and working on other projects during the slower months.

Exhibitions and Events: Hansen reported the exhibition The Art of Frank Howell: The Early Years is currently on display. The next traveling exhibit on Edward Curtis will be installed at the end of November. The Museum was the host site for the Mayor’s press conference and there was good coverage from the press. Hansen noted City Manager Bob Padmore is always open to having the press conference at the Museum. The next History at High Noon will be presented by Haley Aquirre on October 17. The program will be on the history of the South Bottoms. The Museum’s historic Fourth Street walking tour was well attended and staff expects to have a good response to the Floyd Cemetery tour that will be held on October 26.

Hansen noted the Museum continues to work with other organizations and allows the use of meeting space at no charge for non-profits if space is available.

Temporary Exhibitions: Hansen gave an overview of how temporary in-house exhibits are formulated and executed. Hansen noted a question recently arose on a downtown skywalk banner highlighting Morningside College’s 125th Anniversary. This banner was placed by Morning- side College and publicized the Museum’s Morningside College 125th Exhibit. Hansen explained the Museum had been workings on aspects of this exhibit for some time utilizing arti- facts from our collection. The Museum has showcased mile marker exhibitions such as Satur- day in the Park: Rockin’ for 25 Years, Crash of United Airlines Flight 232 25th Anniversary, and Sioux City Symphony Orchestra 1916-2016 as well as many other in-house exhibits. Hansen noted staff is always looking for suggestions and local collaborations for exhibitions, speakers, and program content.

CITY OF SIOUX CITY REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION

MEETING DATE: November 18, 2019 ACTION ITEM # 15 FROM: Jeff Hanson, Community Development Operations Manager (CRM)

Ordinance rezoning 5607½ Sunnybrook Drive from Zone Classification GC (General Commercial) to Zone Classification MU (Mixed Use). (Petitioner: SUBJECT: Eagle Construction Inc.) The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of this item. (File No. 2019-0076) (First Consideration approved November 4, 2019)

Department Finance De- City City Man- Reviewed By: x x x Director partment Attorney ager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests City Council approve the requested rezoning, subject to the following findings.

Planning and Zoning Commission: Agenda Item 2019-0076: Requested rezoning of property located at 5607 ½ Sunnybrook Drive from GC (General Commercial) to MU (Mixed Use). (Petitioner: Eagle Construction, Inc.)

Chris Madsen presented the requested rezoning on Sunnybrook Drive from GC (General Commercial) to MU (Mixed Use). The Petitioner is requesting a two hundred and eight (208) unit apartment complex and townhomes on the site. The GC (General Commercial) zone allows for apartment buildings but not townhomes. Therefore, the Petitioner is requesting a zone change. Madsen went over the different zones in that area. Staff believes the site plan will meet all City guidelines and should get approved at staff level. Madsen presented the site plan so the Commission is aware of what is going to be constructed. Madsen stated the Peti- tioner is requesting an extension of Sunnybrook Plaza into the site. This will be a public street and will need to be dedicated in the future. Madsen talked briefly on a second access into the site from the south. The Petitioner is working with the property owners to the south to make that connection. Madsen stated again we are not reviewing the site plan just the rezoning and City staff recommends approval.

Stewart asked if the Petitioner would need any other approvals for the apartments and townhomes based on this zoning, since the presentation talked about limited use. Madsen stated that the site plan would need to be approved but no other approvals would be needed in the MU (Mixed Use) zone to build apartments and townhomes. Geary questioned if Mixed Use is the highest and best use of the property. He stated General Commercial seems to be the highest and best use of the property given what it is surrounded by. Madsen stated that the Comprehensive Plan shows the area mainly as Mixed Use with parks and open space. Mad-

sen stated from staff’s perspective it does fit with the Comprehensive plan.

Josh Kruger, Petitioner (1305 East Benson Road, Sioux Falls, South Dakota) stated they have been working with the City. The underlying restrictions of the current zoning district have proven to be difficult to meet their project type. They have developed properties in other States and had success with placing townhomes and apartments on similar sites making more of a community feel versus just driving up to an apartment building. The main reasons they selected this property is its location to shops and restaurants. There is another apartment complex in the area that is doing very well and the area is growing. He talked a little about the site plan.

Geary wanted to know if the Petitioner already owns the property or if it was subject to purchase after the rezoning is approved. Kruger stated that the purchase is subject to this rezoning. Silverberg wanted to know if there would be any separation like as in a wall from the cemetery. Kruger stated that the cemetery would be sitting about 35 feet above where the apartments are going. Kruger also stated they already have a wall of sorts there. Stewart stated it may be early but with the amount of traffic already on Sunnybrook Drive has Engineering thought about or stated what effects this will have on the traffic or the roads. Madsen stated that Engineering is working on this and that was one of the reasons for a second access drive to the property. Stewart and Geary wanted to know if that was just going to be connecting to Lowe’s parking lot? Madsen stated that they are working with the property owner to gain access from that direction. There was a lot of conversation between the commission members and the Petitioner on gaining the secondary access and what effects this will have on the traffic on to Sunnybrook Drive.

Nick Hagerty (5680 Sunnybrook Drive, Sioux City, Iowa) spoke in favor of this item. Hagerty represents Prime Bank and wanted to voice his support for the use of the property in this way. Hagerty stated that they have had problems in the past developing the site and he feels it is a great use for this property. Hagerty stated that there is a need for market rate housing in Sioux City and he feels this will help with the situation.

Dennis Pottorff (5814 Pine View Drive, Sioux City, Iowa) spoke in opposition of this item. Pot- torff wanted to voice his concerns about traffic on Sunnybrook Drive, losing his view, and the noise increase in the area at all hours of the day.

David Greigg (3205 Sumac Trail, Sioux City, Iowa) spoke in opposition of this item. Greigg voiced his concerns about the noise, light, pollution and how it will affect his property value with this apartment complex being built. Greigg feels that it will develop as commercial over time. In the ten (10) years since he owned his property the area has expanded greatly, but not over night.

BACKGROUND REPORT: The City has received a request from Eagle Construction Inc., Petitioner, to rezone the property located at 5607 ½ Sunnybrook Drive from GC (General Commercial) to MU (Mixed Use). The Petitioner intends to construct a 208-unit apartment complex on the site. A general area map is enclosed for your review.

ANALYSIS: As stated the Petitioner is requesting rezoning of the property located at 5607 ½ Sunnybrook Drive. The property is currently zoned GC (General Commercial), which allows apartments by conditional use permit and prohibits townhouse units. The Petitioner is proposing a mixture of apartments, 188 units, and townhouses, 20 units. The Petitioner chose to rezone to Mixed Use to leave the option open for the ability to have mixed-use commercial and residential development on the site. At this time the only use proposed on the site is residential.

One response was received to the notification, with concerns regarding access from one entry point on Sunnybrook Plaza. The site plan was reviewed by the Development Review Committee (DRC) at their October 10, 2019 meeting. That site plan can be found in Attachment C. The Pe- titioner has shown, on request by City Staff, a second access to the south. The Petitioner is working with the southern property owner regarding that proposed access.

The Petitioner is proposing to extend the Sunnybrook Plaza right of way east into the property and including a round-a-bout giving access to the property. No other platting is being requested, however at a future date the dedication of the completed street will be requested.

EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USE: GC ; Vacant

EXISTING ZONING REQUIREMENTS: The GC district is meant for a broad range of smaller and larger scale commercial use types sit- uated on parcels that have on-site parking.

PROPOSED ZONING REQUIREMENTS: The MU district is meant for a planned mixture of residential and commercial uses, which may be for transitioning areas along corridors, infill and redevelopment sites, or a planned, mixed use development. A mixed-use development plan requires a development concept plan and planned development site plan.

SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USE: North: NC.1 ; Single Family Residential South: GC ; Lowes East: PI ; Memorial Park Cemetery West: GC ; Commercial Office and Retail

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS No comments.

COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2005 Comprehensive Plan indicates this area as “Mixed-Use Regional”. “Mixed-Use Re- gional” is defined as areas that are traditionally large in size, comprised of many city blocks or acres, and having concentrated development that supports a varied and large employment base while addressing the needs of a regional market.

A portion of the property is also in the “Parks and Open Space” designation that was at one time considered to be an expansion area for the cemetery. Due to grade change between the two properties, this is not likely.

URBAN RENEWAL / URBAN REVITALIZATION / TIF: The subject property is not located in an urban renewal or TIF district.

SUBAREA / CORRIDOR PLAN: The subject property is not located in a subarea or Corridor Plan.

FLOOD PLAIN: The subject property is not located in a flood zone.

CITIZEN RESPONSE: Fourteen notices were sent within the required timeframe. One response was received with concerns about access and one in opposition.

Planning and Zoning Commission, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on Item 2019-0076. CNOS is excited about growth in Sioux City and welcome new options for housing, shopping, healthcare, entertainment, etc. We are concerned about adding a large housing complex with only one road (Sunnybrook Plaza) to enter and exit the property. To turn left or right onto Sunnybrook Drive from Sunnybrook Plaza is already difficult and can be dangerous. We would ask the Commission to ensure there will be additional access roads to the complex before approving the rezoning request.

Dennis & Pam Pottorff Agenda Date: 10/22/2019 5814 Pine View Dr, Sioux City IA 51106 Agenda Item No: 2019-0076

We oppose the rezoning of property located at 5607-1/2 Sunnybrook Drive from GC (General Commercial) to MU (Mixed Use) for the purpose of constructing a 215-unit apartment and townhouse development. We oppose this type of development because our private back yard will be on display to the upper floors of the proposed building, instances of trespassing on our property will increase, noise from inhabitants and vehicles will be disruptive to our lives, pollution (trash, air, noise) will increase, and lighting from the building and its surrounding area will reflect into our bedrooms. Additionally, we are concerned that construction will erode our property which adjoins this site. We are also concerned that the value of our property will be diminished but not offset by tax levies. Several years ago we opposed a variance for signage that exceeded the size and height limit for some of these same reasons, and that variance was denied.

View from our back deck. Closer view from our yard toward the proposed development.

Our back deck view. View from our garden toward the site in question.
