PDF file – Strategic Plan Q2 2018

Grow Sioux City Growing Sioux City is a top priority for all Sioux City residents. That means developing partnerships to expand job creation, encouraging entrepreneurs, improving our city’s public safety services and infrastructure, revitalizing neighborhoods and increasing housing opportunities.

Expanded Development OpportunitiesNew Housing Options

There are a significant number of apartment expansion projects underway or currently in the planning stages across Sioux City including the Indian Hills, Southern Hills and Sunnybrook areas. Last year Sioux City saw record breaking new housing construction and we predict this trend to continue in 2018.

Industrial & Commercial GrowthProgress continues on the construction of $11 million in major road improvements in the Bridgeport Industrial Area to support ongoing industrial growth. Part of that growth isSeaboard Triumph Foods (STF). STF is currently up to 1700 employees, with plans to increase that number to 2,400.

The renovation and expansion of Rocklin Manufacturing is nearly complete at their downtown facility. A ribbon-cutting event is scheduled for August 16.

The Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Sioux City expansion continues with a new $11 million parking ramp project. Construction is scheduled to begin this year in partnership with the City. This new parking ramp will provide shared parking with the Tyson Events Center.

Interstate Mechanical/Metal Specialists are expanding into a new facility and the company’s Targeted Jobs application was approved by the state on June 22, 2018. A development agreement will be brought to Council for approval in Q3.

A development agreement for a new Aldi grocery store has been approved. Construction will begin in Northern Valley later this year.

Under

Rose Hill Urban Renewal Area is under construction! Work will begin soon on the approximately $350,000 splash pad to be located just to the north of the current Rose Hill Park. The splash pad will include a number of fire themed water elements, new benches, landscaping, and more! It is anticipated to be ready for play in spring 2019!

Public SafetyAll Paramedic Stations

Six years ago, Sioux City Fire Rescue (SCFR) began convert-ing its seven stations from Emergency Medical Technician Advanced to Paramedic. This change means that each fire apparatus would have a first-responding firefighter trained to the paramedic level. Over time, as paramedic staffing allowed, stations were added to the paramedic level. In quarter two of this year SCFR staffed and equipped our final station.

Faster Response TimeSCFR took over emergency ambulance service in Sioux City on January 1, 2018. Since that time comparative data indicates that call volume is up by 7.4% and response times

Construction

Improvements to several sidewalk corners in Rose Hill will be made for ADA accessbility. Improvements to inlets and alleys will be completed this fall.

Urban Renewal

Work restarted on the West 7th Street reconstruction project in late March. The second and final phase includes complete reconstruction of West 7th Street between Sioux Street and Hamilton Boulevard. The landscaping has begun and decorative walls and light-boxes on the bridge are done.

West 7th StreetUrban Search & Rescue Team

Both Siouxland Dive Team and River Rescue Teams were volunteer organizations serving Siouxland for many years. Recently it became increasingly difficult to staff and equip these teams. Both teams decided to have SCFR’s Urban Search and Rescue Team (IATF1) take over operations. SCFR now has 17 divers and 17 water rescue technicians, along with several boats and other highly specialized search and rescue capabilities.

are down by 1:10 per call over last year. SCFR attributes the response improvement to ambulance station location and a focus on emergency calls only. This year SCFR ambulances average 20 emergency calls per day.

SCPD Building RelationshipsThe Sioux City Police Department is working to build community partnerships in the downtown area. This includes partnering with the West 7th Street merchants to facilitate a unified group to further the goals of the reinvestment in the West 7th Street corridor. Police officers are also engaging in traditional policing methods to include regular foot patrols of the downtown skywalks and business area to build relationships and safety.

Promote Sioux City

Creating a Destination for Visitors

City Council and staff promote Sioux City as a tourist destination and as a great place for people to raise a family or start a business. Accomplishing this means increased recreational opportunities, continued development of our public spaces, and enhancing local arts and cultural amenities.

New Management SuccessWith the support of the Orpheum Theatre’s board, City Council voted to move management duties of the Tyson Events Center and Orpheum Theatre to Spectra, a private management company based out of Philadelphia. Since the switch to private management staff have been busy. A “Meet the Team” event was held in June and was a great opportunity for people in the community to meet all of the new Spectra team members. Staff has made major progress in cleaning up the Tyson Events Center of excess and outdated items. There are also a number of improvement projects underway including new LED lighting in the arena and an ADA accessible ramp. These will give the building a fresh look, improve the facility for guests, and increase employee safety. June was also the first full month under the new ticketing system, Paciolan, for the Orpheum Theatre and Tyson Events Center. The new system is expected to bring over $40,000 in cost savings, plus additional marketing opportunities.

Enhance Connectivity

Positive Community Engagement

The City of Sioux City encourages resident engagement within their community by partnering with local businesses and educational institutions to increase opportunities, nurture young professionals, streamline City processes to gain efficiencies for citizens, and promote volunteerism.

As part of an effort to engage citizens, the Police Department initiated its first “Police Department Open House” in the spring of 2018. The event welcomed hundreds of visitors for tours of SCPD headquarters and the SCPD Hall of History Police Museum. This positive outreach involved partnerships with the Sioux City Public Museum and was extremely positive. The Police Department also continues to push for positive citizen engagement by utilizing social media and technology to reach out to citizens. The newly formed Social Media Unit consists of eight officers who use social media to update the public on incidents, activities, and outreach events.

SCPD Open House

Additional public events were held in February 2018 including a Community Visioning Charrette to engage residents and business owners in the development of Sioux City’s new Comprehensive Plan. A project website was created and staff have been working to obtain citizen feedback through surveys. The next round of public meetings will take place in quarter three of 2018.

Community Vision

The Public Museum continues to serve as an important community partner for both citizens and organizations hosting a variety of events. The Museum also offers a variety of in-house events. The popular History at High Noon series is curated in-house and typically draws over 100 guests. One extremely popular community partnership is the Downtown Live Concert Series hosted Thursday evenings on the Museum lawn/plaza. The event includes food vendors and musical acts from the Midwest are showcased.

Museum Draws Crowds

with Citizens & Businesses

Every spring the Sioux City Public Library partners with area libraries and agencies to host events and discussions inspired by themes in the book chosen for One Book One Siouxland, a community-wide reading initiative that brings residents together through the shared experience of one great book. This year’s book, Hidden Figures, inspired events including a visit with Dr. Ruth Jones, Ph.D. from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, a night of live story-telling, a trip through Sioux City history at the Museum, and more.

One Book One Siouxland

This year the Sioux City Waste Water Treatment Plant has seen a significant increase in the number of tours given to Siouxland area students. Visitors are guided through the facilities to see what happens to water once it’s sent down the drain! Attendees develop a deeper under-standing of the treatment process and discuss issues like water usage, conservation and pollution. City Hall staff also hosted the Leeds Elementary School fourth grade class in May. Students learned the history of City Hall, the various jobs in City Hall, the importance of recycling, and saw a special presentation from Public Works staff about our City’s infrastructure.

Engaging Our Youth

Advocating for Sioux City

City Council members and city staff attended the annual Siouxland Washington, DC Conference last quarter. Many successful meetings with legislators took place on topics including, the National Guard, transportation, workforce, infrastructure, economic growth, and more.

Partnerships for Success

Opportunity ZonesThe City successfully obtained designation of three census tracts in Sioux City as federally designated Opportunity Zones, which qualifies large areas of the City to take advantage of this new tool for economic growth.

Targeted Jobs ProgramEconomic Development staff and state representatives were able to successfully work for a one-year extension of the Targeted Jobs Program. This program has played a key role in many economic development projects in Sioux City.

When Sioux City Fire Rescue took over ambulance service in Sioux City one goal was to improve public outreach and education to improve patient outcomes. In 2018 SCFR EMS Division began its Hands-Only CPR campaign by setting up shop at the local farmers market on Saturdays. 175 people have been trained to date. The previous ambulance provider did a great job working with the Iowa Donor Network for tissue and organ donation and SCFR wanted to continue and improve that legacy. In May of 2018, SCFR partnered with the Iowa Donor Network to increase tissue and organ donation awareness. This is the first known partnership between the Donor Network and a fire department. Each donation can save the lives of eight people.

Public Outreach & Education

Expectations & AchievementsIn an effort to better empower employees, the Police Department is setting expectations and recognizing achievements. The department’s spring Awards and Promotional Ceremony was an extremely well attended event that provided the opportunity for SCPD to recognize officers, civilian employees, and citizens who are serving our City in a distinguished fashion.

Recognizing Employees & Volunteers

Enhance Connectivity

Doing Good In Sioux City

Taking Care of Our OwnSioux City Fire Rescue has partnered with the local fire union, IAFF Local 7, to develop a team to provide Peer Support Training to our department members as required. Firefighters and emergency medical personnel are regularly exposed to high-stress situations that can cause PTSD. The 13-member peer support team identifies high-stress calls and intervenes to work with responders.

Sioux City Housing Authority’s Little Free Library recently celebrated its one year anniversary! Over 5,500 books have been donated since the summer of 2017 when it began. These donations have been received primarily through youth book drives and service projects. It is great to see Sioux City’s youth taking an interest in improving literacy.

Little Free Library Anniversary

Instill Sioux City PrideInstilling Sioux City pride in residents will lead to expanded diversity, increased participation from our City’s youth in all aspects of the City, and a more beautiful city.

Innovative Programs The Sioux City Police Department works hard to instill Sioux City pride through innovative programs that work with local youth in the Sioux City area. The SCPD Youth Academy is one of those programs and offers teens the opportunity to learn more about careers in law enforcement. The spring Youth Academy class graduated in June with 24 participants. The SCPD also performs youth outreach through work with the Beyond the Bell and Head Start programs in Sioux City.

SUBJECT:

Resolution setting dates of a consultation and a public hearing on pro-posed Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Combined Floyd River Urban Renewal Plan for the Combined Floyd River Urban Renewal Area of the City of Sioux City, Iowa (Property located at 1900 4th Street)



x City Attorney

x City Man-ager

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests the City Council approve the proposed resolution.

DISCUSSION:

Background Interstate Mechanical Corp. has served Sioux City and the surrounding area for over 100 years. The company provides innovative solutions for many types of work within the scope of mechanical contracting and metal fabrication, including architectural metal, metal fabrication, plumbing and HVAC, industrial piping, etc. In 2015, James Olson and Wes Hunold, the own-ers of Interstate Mechanical, purchased Interstate Metal Specialists, LLC to expand the com-pany’s offerings in industrial sheet metal and custom fabrication. To date, the two companies have remained in separate locations in Sioux City. Current Project As both companies have continued to grow over the past few years, it has become apparent

that management and operational efficiencies could be gained by physically combining the

two companies under one roof. The companies are also looking to purchase new equipment

to expand into HVAC / piping pre-fabrication production. The owners have evaluated several

options, including purchasing and renovating an existing building, building a new facility, or

relocating elsewhere in the tri-state area. Due to assistance offered through the Targeted

Jobs Withholding Tax Credit Program, the owners have decided to purchase and renovate an

existing 33,000 square foot building in Sioux City, located at 1900 4th Street. The project will

represent a capital investment of over $3.4 million.

To assist with the project, city staff is currently working to finalize a development agreement

which will provide 75% property tax rebates to the company on the new incremental taxes

created by the value added to the building for a five-year period.

Approval of the above resolution will initiate the required notice period to amend the urban

renewal plan and set a date for final Council consideration and approval of the Development

Agreement, Minimum Assessment Agreement and Targeted Jobs Contract on September 10,

2018.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The City will benefit from increased property taxes resulting from the minimum assessment agreement.

RELATIONSHIP TO STRATEGIC PLAN:

To expand development opportunities, develop the resources to support economic growth, and develop new business sites.

FROM: Amy Keairns, Neighborhood Services Project Coordinator

SUBJECT:

Resolution approving an application for Continuum of Care Planning Project Grant Funds and authorizing and directing the City Manager to execute the required assurances and certifications in connection with said program application.



x City Attorney

x City Man-ager

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests that City Council approve a resolution authorizing the submission of a Continuum of Care Planning Project Grant application for funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).

DISCUSSION:

HUD has published the FY 2018 Fiscal Year Notice of Funding Availability for the Continuum of Care Program Competition (CoC). The Siouxland Coalition to End Homelessness (SCEH) is the 501(c)(3) responsible for completing the full CoC grant application and works with agencies applying for funds. The full CoC funding request includes a summary application, renewal funding for existing CoC applicants, and applications for new funding. If the summary application scores high enough, the City of Sioux City will be eligible for CoC Planning Grant funds in the amount of $21,675.00. The funds would be used to work with shelters and home-less service agencies of the SCEH on a multi-faceted project which includes:

• Create a training schedule and offer regular training opportunities to SCEH agencies.

• Conduct a thorough review of all SCEH policies and make improvements where need-ed.

• Define a process to reach out to secure new SCEH members, including those that are homeless, were previously homeless, and those that work with the homeless commu-nity.

• Improve project monitoring and development process to develop a strategy to reduce the length of homelessness and increase successful permanent housing placement and retention.

• Improve gap analysis of homeless needs and services available in the community.

• Participate in annual Point In Time homeless count.

The Center for Siouxland (representative is SCEH Chair) and the City of Sioux City would share the grant since those two agencies will take the lead on the above initiative. Each agency would receive $10,837.50. CDBG funds would provide $5,600.00 in matching funds. Applying for these funds will not negatively impact any other agencies that receive CoC fund-ing. Instead, it is anticipated that the receipt of these funds will enhance coordination and out-comes.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Grant match in the amount of $5,600.00 will come from Community Development Block Grant funds.

x City Attorney

x City Manager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council reject the bid for the proposed construction of the Gordon Drive Signal Replacement Project (Project No. 6984-139-007).

DISCUSSION: This project includes the removal and replacement of traffic signals at the intersections of Gor-don Drive and Stone Avenue and Gordon Drive and Martha Street. Notice of Public Hearing was advertised on June 16, 2018 and June 23, 2018. The public hearing was held on July 2, 2018. The project was bid on July 3, 2018. One bid was received from Nystrom Electric, Inc. The table below highlights the bid, and the Engineer’s estimate.

Company City, State Base Bid

Nystrom Electric, Inc Sioux City, Iowa $252,000.00

Engineer’s Estimate $135,000.00

The only bid, submitted by Nystrom Electric, Inc. is approximately 86.7% over the Engineer’s Estimate. City staff have reviewed the bid and feel that re-bidding the project with a change in the design of the project would be in the best interests of the City. After bids were opened it was found that Nystrom Electric, Inc. felt that to safely complete the project they would need to stabilize each of the traffic signals as they were working in the vicin-ity. All of their stabilizing trucks are currently being utilized on other projects. Additionally, Nys-trom Electric, Inc. did not acknowledge the second addendum showing the anchoring pattern for the stockpiled signal poles that would replace the existing poles.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is funded using GO Bonds under CIP 139-007 Annual Intersection and Traffic Sig-nal Improvements. The project currently has an available balance of $12,296.45.

x City Attorney

x City Man-ager

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council approve Amendment No. 2 to the Engineering Services Agreement with Veenstra & Kimm, Inc. in connection with the Tyson Events Center Site Re-pairs Project (Project No. 6830A-379-010).

DISCUSSION: The City entered into an Engineering Services Agreement in an amount not to exceed $41,225.00 with Veenstra & Kimm, Inc. on March 14, 2016 under Resolution 2016-0194. This agreement included survey, project management and coordination, design, bidding assistance, and limited construction administration services for the Tyson Events Center Site Repairs Pro-ject. The first amendment added services to prepare two additional bid packages to separate out the flat work and wheel chair ramp portions of the project. It also added construction in-spection services for both projects. Amendment No. 2 will add additional time for inspection services for both the flatwork and wheel chair ramp projects. Due to continued deterioration of the existing flatwork at the Tyson Events Center, Veenstra & Kimm were tasked with adding additional flatwork locations to the project. Following the change in management at the Tyson Events Center, Veenstra & Kimm were then tasked with putting together a re-prioritization of the known patch locations to spend the existing repair funds as wisely as possible. This meant repairs were targeted to the highest traffic areas, and the areas that have deteriorated the most. This work was mostly done as field adjustments via Veenstra & Kimm’s inspection staff, which used up more of the allocated in-spection hours, but at a cost per hour savings to the City over having it redesigned. Veenstra & Kimm maintained constant communication with the City’s Engineering Division regarding the tracking of their hours, and notified the City when they had exhausted the contracted inspec-tion hours.

Unknown quantities of unsuitable soils, as well as unknowns about the structural stability of the existing geofoam under the Tyson Wheel Chair Ramps caused project delays for the Wheel Chair Ramp project, which also limited Veenstra & Kimm’s ability to inspect both projects sim-ultaneously.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is funded using GO Bonds and CC Levy Abated GO Bonds under CIP 379-010 “Annual EFAB Remodeling & Repair”. The project currently has an available balance of $920,705.24.


ALTERNATIVES: Deny this agreement and require the City seek services from another firm.

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing and approving a Reinvestment District Contract Amendment with the Iowa Economic Development Authority (Contract Num-ber: 18-RD-001)



x City Attorney

x City Manager

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests Council approval of the above resolution.

DISCUSSION:

Background - Iowa Reinvestment District Opportunity The Iowa Reinvestment District Program ("IRD") allows designated cities to create 25-acre “Reinvestment Districts” in which a city may capture state hotel/motel and sales taxes gener-ated within the district for up to twenty years, and invest those state funds into projects within the district. Revenues may be generated from hotels, retail establishments, sales at the com-munity attractions themselves, and other similar projects. In 2015 the City submitted a pre-application to the Iowa Economic Development Authority (“IEDA”) to establish the Sioux City Reinvestment District, and in 2016 the final application was submitted, including the detailed district plan describing the projects to be completed. On August 18, 2017, the IEDA awarded final approval of the Sioux City Reinvestment District. Sioux City Reinvestment District A number of partners have organized around a shared vision for the Sioux City Reinvestment District and four dynamic projects, including a new Convention Center Hotel, Virginia Square, the Siouxland Expo Center, and the Warrior and Davidson buildings. With a total capital in-vestment of over $134 million, these projects include a mix of uses and activities to provide people with new options for places to live, work, shop, visit, and participate in cultural activi-ties. The district will utilize $13.5 million in state hotel/motel and sales taxes. Developed over the past two years the district builds upon recent downtown momentum pro-vided by the reconstruction of Interstate 29, stockyards revitalization, enhancements to the riverfront, and the ongoing development of new housing, historic districts and unique ameni-ties. The district will encourage the continued growth of downtown as the entertainment and cultural center for the entire region, increase private investment, help transform the aesthetics of the City entryway, and contribute to the economic growth and quality of life for the City and region.

Reinvestment District Contract On November 13, 2017 the City entered into a contract with IEDA, which was required under the IRD Program rules and outlined the district plan, commencement date, contingencies, maximum benefit amount and allocation of funds. On June 22, 2018 city staff presented an update of the Sioux City Reinvestment District to IEDA, which included the completion of two of the contingencies and requested an extension for the remaining three contingencies. IEDA approved the following contingency extensions:

• Documentation that the City has approved a final construction contract for the Siouxland Expo Center Project by December 31, 2018.

• Documentation that construction financing has closed for the Davidson/Warrior Pro-ject by September 30, 2018.

• Documentation that construction financing has closed and a development agreement has been executed for the additional hotel component of the Virginia Square Project by December 31, 2018.

Following City Council approval, city staff will continue to work with the developers of each project to satisfy the contingencies prior to the deadlines provided above.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Overall the creation of the Reinvestment District will allow for the investment of $13.5 million in new state hotel/motel and sales taxes in Sioux City. Each of the four anchor destination projects will have separate development agreements that outline the financial impacts of the various projects.


This project supports the Strategic Focus Areas of Growing Sioux City, including expanding development opportunities, promoting and engaging historic preservation, and leveraging as-sets to develop critical mass downtown; as well Promoting Sioux City, including cultural de-velopment initiatives, enhancing local arts-related development, and creating a destination for visitors.

DISCUSSION:

City staff is requesting Council award a contract to Mercy Business Health Services to ad-minister a City-wide wellness program which was collectively bargained with AFSCME Iowa Council 61, Local 212 and Local 2796 effective January 1, 2019. The Request for Proposal (RFP) asked for costs for the one-year period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019. City staff prefers to do an initial one-year agreement since 2019 will be the initial year of a City Wellness Program, as required by labor negotiations. City staff sent invitations to bid to six (6) vendors thought to provide an employee wellness program. In addition, a public notice was published on March 31, 2018 and April 7, 2018 in the Sioux City Journal. Four (4) bids were received. One of the vendors did not bid on the platform portion. The three (3) qualifying bids are as follows:

Wellness Program Based on 450 Employees

Wellmark, Inc. Des Moines, Iowa

Mercy Business Health Sioux City, Iowa

IBC Sioux City, Iowa

Year 1 Based on 450 participants

$36.67 per person $16,500.00 Total

$48 per person $22,600.00 Total Total includes $1,000 implementation fee

$55 per person $24,750.00 Total

A committee consisting of representatives from labor and management reviewed the quali-fying bids. Each of the bidders were allowed to present their wellness platform to the com-

mittee. The committee scored each of the vendors on criteria which was identified in the RFP. The committee overwhelmingly selected Mercy Business Health Services as the ven-dor of choice for this program. Mercy received the highest score out of the three (3) eligible bidders; they currently have a contract in place with the City to provide several services that would complement this contract; we have an established relationship with the share nurse who visits our work locations which provides a means of submitting activity participation for no-tech employees; the Mercy platform is internally developed and more robust, integrated with tech tools and flexible than the others. Mercy Business Health Services will be a strategic partner with the City to design, imple-ment and administer an effective wellness program that improves the health, productivity, morale and safety of our employees, in addition to premium savings for participating em-ployees.

x City Attorney

x City Man-ager

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests that the City Council approve a Settlement and Release Agreement with Chad Plante and Rosanne Plante.

DISCUSSION:

This matter arises out of a motor vehicle accident which took place on November 15, 2016 between a City bus and the vehicle that Mr. Plante was operating at the intersection of Outer Drive and Highway 75/Lewis Boulevard in Sioux City, Iowa. Litigation has not been filed to date. The City has paid the Plante’s out of pocket expenses, health insurance premiums, lost wages, and other requested expenses through June 2018 in the total amount of $179,485.14. The Plantes and the City engaged in mediation of this matter on May 7, 2018 to arrive at the settlement terms which have now been completed and are ready for finalization by the City Council. The Legal Department recommends settlement of this matter. Approval of this settlement and release would settle all claims which could be made against the City and Jamie Pica, the bus driver involved in the accident.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The total amount of $7,500,000 would be paid to the Plantes and their attorney above what the City has already paid in costs and expenses noted above. The City’s remaining portion for payment would be $210,941.90. The balance would be paid by the City’s excess insurance carrier in the amount of $7,289,058 through the City for distribution to the Plantes and their legal counsel.

x City Attorney

City Manager

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests Council approve a Telecommunications Facilities Exchange Agreement with Woodbury County, Iowa to extend fiber optic infrastructure from Riverside Boulevard and Pacquette Avenue to the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center.

DISCUSSION:

The Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center currently operates its network to the Courthouse on a dial up phone network and it is almost unusable. The Woodbury County Conservation would like to extend fiber optic infrastructure from the City’s fiber vault at Riverside Boulevard and Pac-quette Avenue to the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center. The Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center is funding the entire project to build the fiber network.

FROM: Gordon Phair, City Engineer Brittany Anderson, Civil Engineer Amy Keairns, Neighborhood Services Project Coordinator

SUBJECT:

Resolution awarding and approving a contract to AG Construction, Inc. in the amount of $285,880.50 for construction of the Rose Hill Alley, Inlet, Sidewalk & Curb Ramp Improvements Project (Project No. 6930A-719-229).



X City Attorney

x City Man-ager

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests that City Council award and approve a contract to AG Construction, Inc. of Sioux City, Iowa, in the amount of $285,880.50 for construction of the Rose Hill Alley, Inlet, Sidewalk & Curb Ramp Improvements Project (Project No. 6930A-719-229).

DISCUSSION:

The City of Sioux City created the Rose Hill Urban Renewal Area in 2004. Since that time, Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds have been invested in housing rehabili-tation, rental rehabilitation, and various public improvements. This is one of the last years for public improvements as another new urban renewal area will be designated soon. As part of the urban renewal area close-out process, staff identified a list of final public improvements to be completed. JEO Consulting Group, Inc. has completed plans and specifications for the Rose Hill Alley, Inlet, Sidewalk & Curb Ramp Improvements Project. This project includes the construction of:

• 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 City Council adopted the plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated costs on July 2, 2018. A hearing approving the plans, specifications, form of contract and estimated costs for construction was held on July 16, 2018. The project was bid on July 18, 2018. One (1) bid was received for this project. The bid is as follows:


AG Construction, Inc. Sioux City, Iowa $285,880.50


*Note: There was a calculation error on the bid submitted by AG Construction, Inc.. Line 9.01, Hydraulic Seeding, Seeding, Fertilizing, and Mulching, had a quantity of .21 acres. AG Con-struction, Inc. entered a unit price of $2,000.00 and a total price of $2,000.00 on their bid sheet. The total for that line item should have been $420.00, so the total bid was reduced from $287,460.50 to 285,880.50. The base bid, submitted by AG Construction, Inc. of Sioux City, Iowa, is $19,336.50 or 6.34% lower than the Engineer’s Estimate of $305,217.00. According to JEO Consulting Group, Inc., there are various explanations for lower bids than estimated. The main reason on a project such as this is current contractor workloads. When a contractor needs additional work to fill out his schedule for the year, that can be reflected in lower bid prices. This project shall be completed within 70 working days, which is anticipated to be in Novem-ber of 2018.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

This project is funded using Community Development Block Grant Funds under CIP 719-229, Rose Hill Public Improvements. The Engineer’s opinion of probable construction cost for the work is $305,217.00. The project currently has an available balance of $390,937.33.

City Council may choose to not approve construction documents for this project. This would stop the project from moving forward.

RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully requests Council award and approve a contract to SAK Construction, LLC of O’Fallon, Missouri in the amount of $137,377.50 for the construction of the 2018 Annual Utility Lining Project (Project No. 6972-539-217).

DISCUSSION: This project includes the point repairs of damaged sewer pipe, and the cleaning, televising, and lining of sanitary sewers. Notice of Public Hearing was advertised on June 23, 2018 and June 30, 2018. The public hearing was held on July 2, 2018. Construction completion shall be within 40 working days, which is anticipated to be in November of 2018. The project was bid on July 10, 2018. One (1) bid was received for this project. The bid is as follows:


SAK Construction, LLC O’Fallon, Missouri $137,377.50


The base bid, submitted by SAK Construction, LLC of O’Fallon, Missouri is 29.2% or $56,656.50 below the Engineer’s Estimate of $194,034.00. Upon review of the bids and discussions with SAK Construction, LLC they were not concerned about the costs for bypass pumping on this project and bid $1.00 for that lump sum item. Mobiliza-tion costs as estimated by the Engineer were in line with the costs from the 2017 Annual Utility Lining Project and it was found out that SAK Construction, LLC has a significant project they have already mobilized for in Sioux Falls, South Dakota reducing the Contractor’s mobilization costs. These two items account for $47,499.00 of the overage in the Engineer’s estimate placing the es-timate 6.25% above the base bid.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This project is funded using transfers in sewer funds and storm funds under CIP 539-217 Utility Lining Improvements. The project currently has an available balance of $633,617.00.


ALTERNATIVES: 1. The City Council may choose to not award and approve this contract. 2. Bids may be further evaluated or the project documents may be revised and reissued for bid.

Siouxland Chamber of Commerce Membership Heidi Reinking with the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce presented on the benefits of the His-toric Preservation Commission to continue membership in the Siouxland Chamber, and detailed ways to make better use of the services they offer members. Custer (Vodochodsky) recom-mended approval of continuing membership with the Siouxland Chamber and issuing payment of dues for the period of 5/1/2018 – 5/1/2019, with the condition that a Commission member must be assigned to report and monitor usage of the Siouxland Chamber benefits. 4.

5. New Business a. Monthly Financial Report

Erin Berzina stated the current balance is $9,773.75. Pending funds of $99.42 from book sales will be deposited.

b. Review of the Website Adam presented current pages and information on the Sioux City Historic Preservation Commission’s website (www.siouxcityhp.org). Recommended updates include an up-dated National Register of Historic Places active list, further information on endangered properties and properties of interest, update of staff and members, and a list of William Steele properties.

d. The Heights NRHP Listing Update

Jim will continue to work with the Heights neighborhood association to submit applica-tions for grants to prepare an application to the NRHP.

e. Red-Tag List Erin provided the group with a new red-tag list. With the ending of Bob Coacher’s term on the Commission and his responsibility of providing a comprehensive list of red-tagged properties ended, Erin will provide an abbreviated list to the group each month until an-other member assumes that role.

f. Deteriorating Brick Crosswalks in the Historic Fourth Street District Erin updated the group on the deteriorating condition of the brick crosswalks installed last summer in the Historic Fourth Street District. In June one of the replaced crosswalks had substantial damage from buckling due to heavy truck traffic and/or heat. The Secre-tary of Interior Standards for Rehabilitation states that if a same material has been at-tempted to repair after failing once, it is acceptable to use a like material in its place. Staff supports the replacement of the brick crosswalks to a brick stamped concrete ma-terial in order to have a longer life due to the location of the crosswalks in a high/heavy traffic load on that street. The Commission will invite Dan Carney, Public Works Director, to the August 7 meeting to answer questions on stamped concrete vs. replacing the bricks of a higher quality and installation, and if it might be wiser to replace again with bricks.

g. Report on Missouri River Historic Preservation Conference Bill will report on this item at the August 7 meeting.

7. Announcements / Other Business Erin mentioned that a structural analysis was done on the Historic Fourth Street District build-ings for a festoon lighting project and it was determined that the buildings would not support the string lighting so the project is on hold. Downtown Partners is exploring other options to in-crease lighting.

Johnathan stated he has started a shared database for the downtown survey project and will continue adding information for staff to compile. 9. Adjourn The meeting concluded at 4:58 p.m. The next scheduled meeting will be held at City Hall Pre-Council Chambers room 512, on Tuesday, August 7, 2018 at 3:30 p.m.

SUBJECT:

Hearing and Ordinance vacating a portion of the east/west alley adjacent to 5308 through 5314 Morningside Avenue (Petitioner: Carol Border-Stone). The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends denial of the request-ed vacation. (File No. 2018-0057).

x City Man-ager

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests City Council concur with the Planning and Zoning Commission and deny the requested alley vacation subject to the following findings. Planning and Zoning Commission: Agenda Item 2018-0057: Requested vacation of that portion of the east/west alley abutting 5308 to 5314 Morningside Avenue. (Petitioner: Carol Border-Stone) Brent Nelson presented the item. He stated that the petitioner would like to vacate the east/west alley abutting her property. Mr. Nelson gave a brief history of the subject alleys and the abutting properties. Also mentioned were the city policies that recommend we vacate al-leys in complete sections so as not to create dead end alleys. Dead end alleys make it almost impossible to turn around especially for maintenance equipment and emergency vehicles. There is a city policy that states alleys are intended to serve as secondary access to the abut-ting properties. Century Link, MidAmerican and Cable One all have utilities in the alley and have indicated their opposition to the vacation. Gill Hauling stated that alley pick up could be switched to the street, but that might be problematic for some of the property owners. The pe-titioner has concerns with traffic speeding through the alley, the police department has been notified of the situation and will increase patrols in the area. Four replies were received in op-position of the vacation from abutting property owners. Staff recommends denial of the vaca-tion. The petitioner Carol Border-Stone 3431 Quail Ridge Court, stated that she would like to va-cate the alley to provide parking to the businesses and rental in the property that she owns. Border-Stone doesn’t think the concerns about garbage pick-up, emergency vehicle and city utilities would be an issue. Ross mentioned that typically one-half of the vacated right of way is offered to each abutting property owner, would this still meet the petitioner’s goals if she only got half of the alley. Border-Stone answered yes.

Ross also asked if the petitioner would be willing to vacate only that portion of the alley east of the intersection with the north/south alley. Border-Stone would be okay with that change. Geary asked if the garbage cans in that area were picked up in the alley as opposed to Morn-ingside Avenue? Border-Stone responded that only two houses have their garbage picked up in the alley. Loren Jahde – 2013 S. Magnolia Street has a business in his home that would be affected by the vacation and sale of the alley. He prefers to have the two-way access to his property us-ing the alley which is fully passable. Turning west instead of east out of the north/south alley would be difficult due to a fence and a junction box. Sue Wright – 2020 S. Olive Street, states her property is in the middle of the block and she uses the alleys as a secondary access. Turning west onto the west one-half of the east/west alley would be a more difficult turn from the north/south alley. Carmen Cobb – 5306 Morningside Avenue, states she is mainly concerned about the garbage pick-up. Her garbage is picked up in the alley and if that were changed to Morningside Ave-nue she has no walk way to move her garbage to Morningside Avenue. Geary asked if the alley were vacated and sold, how would you stop the traffic from using and speeding through the alley. Border-Stone plans on putting up a fence. Geary asked whether a fence would be allowed. Nelson replied that it is allowed because the alley would then be their personal property. Calligan asked if the turn to the west onto the west one-half of the east/west alley would be a more difficult turn from the north/south alley. Nelson replied that because of the neighbor’s fence on the west of the north/south alley and a utility pole and because of the width of the alley it might be tight and difficult. Sue Wright mentioned that a portion of the alley behind 5308 Morningside Avenue is only 15 feet wide which makes turning in the alley more difficult. Border-Stone denied that the fence is sitting in the alley. Calligan asked if Border-Stone would be willing to move her fence to make the alley wider. Border-Stone replied that the neighbor would need to move their fence to make the turn easi-er. Geary stated he understands why Ross is recommending to revise the vacation to leave the intersection of the alleys open. What he is hearing is that the alley is being used and access-ing the alley on a regular basis. Stewart asked Justin how the determination of being in the transportation system is decided as far as how something is being used once in a while or a more constant use. Justin said that was up to the commission to decide. Ross stated that hearing that the alley is being used and that the vacation would alter the use, he is not necessarily considering altering the vacation as he had suggested. Calligan again suggested the applicant move her fence to widen both the alley and the right hand turn from the north/south alley. Calligan asked if that would be possible to add property to an alley. Nelson replied that it has never been done but there isn’t any reason that it

couldn’t be done. Loren Jahde mentioned that there is a utility box on the corner of the alley making a right hand turn difficult. Beukelman (Silverberg) moved to deny the item. Motion Carried. 6-0-0 (Yes: Calligan, Stew-art, Beukelman, Geary, Silverberg, Ross, No: 0/ Abstain:0). Roll Call Vote. Findings of Fact: 1) The request creates two “dead end” alleys which is contrary to Council Resolution 98/U-06796. 2) Both alleys are used by property owners abutting the respective alleys. 3) Vacating the alley would make city maintenance of the remaining portions of the alley more difficult. 4) One of the reasons for requesting the vacation of the alley is that people, not residing in the block, use the alley as a short cut and they speed through the alley. Police action is a far more appropriate answer to this type of traffic issue than is vacating the alley. Planning staff have alerted the Police Department to this problem. Recommended Conditions of Approval: 1) None recommended.

BACKGROUND REPORT: The present request is to vacate a part of the east/west alley in the block bounded by Morning-side Avenue on the north and northeast/S. Magnolia Street on the east/4th Avenue on the south/and S. Olive Street on the west. Specifically, the proposal is to vacate that portion of said alley abutting 5308 through 5314 Morningside Avenue, or the easterly 196± feet of the alley.

The subject alley is located in Block 23 of Hedges Morningside Subdivision. Hedges Morning-side Subdivision was platted in 1888 and apart from the vacation of the north half of the north/south alley in 1988, the platting appears unchanged. The streets abutting the block were originally unimproved but were paved at various times since the plat was approved. It appears that the alleys were never paved, though the east/west alley has been graveled for many years. Morningside Avenue, from the point it turns south to the City limits was originally called “Mes-quite Street”. The east/west portion has always been called “Morningside Avenue” and was in-tended to continue east (the easterly extension never occurred because of conflicts with the C. M. St. P. & P. Railroad which at one time had a siding and small depot in the Morningside Avenue alignment). By 1925, “Mesquite Street” had been named “Smithland Road” and was designated as Iowa Hwy 34. The Highway number changed numerous times. It is not clear ex-actly when “Smithland Road” became “Morningside Avenue”, though it was referred to as “Morningside Avenue” as early as 1952.” Water mains were installed in the area between 1926 and 1934. The 10-inch main in 4th Avenue appears to be original while all other mains in the area have been replaced at least once. Staff can find no records of when sewer was installed in the area but it probably was installed about the same time. No City Utilities were ever installed in the subject alleys but several private utili-ties were. The next significant event in the block (according to available records) was in 1988 when a re-quest was made to vacate the north half of the north/south alley and the east half of the east/west alley. The vacation of the north half of the north/south alley was approved while the vacation of the east half of the east/west alley was denied. The subject block has been zoned NC-4 (Neighborhood Conservation) and SC (Suburban Commercial) since the adoption of the present Ordinance in 2015. Between 1976 and 2015, the block was zoned RG-50 (General Residential) and BNH (Heavy Neighborhood Commercial). From 1928 to 1976, the entire north half of the block was zoned “D” Commercial and the south half of the block was zoned “A” single family residential. CITY POLICIES Resolution 98/U-06796 (Attached) set forth a number of City Policies for vacating alleys. The policies relevant to this vacation are as follows: #7 It is the policy of the City that an alley will be vacated only in complete sections. In instances where there is a single alley in a block, the entire alley would be vacated at one time. In in-stances where there are two intersecting alleys, any one of the legs could be vacated singly, or in combination but in no case would only one leg be allowed to remain as right-of-way. #9 This policy recommends that, in some instances, staff will evaluate and recommend that curb cuts be closed and sidewalks be reestablished. City Legal Staff have long provided additional directions for evaluating rights-of-way.

• Cities may vacate streets and alleys but must consider the interests of the public.

• Streets and alleys should not be vacated for the benefit of private persons if it will proba-bly seriously inconvenience the public.

• The vacation of a street or alley should not deprive the complaining property owner of convenient and reasonable access to or from his property to a substantial degree.

• The City Council must determine whether the street or alley is necessary for public use and convenience and whether they are sufficiently traveled to justify maintenance at public expense.

• The right to reasonable ingress and egress to abutting properties may not be totally de-stroyed; however, as long as one reasonable means of ingress and egress to a lot re-mains it is not so adversely affected.

• Non-abutting owners have far less standing to challenge a vacation. As per Municipal Code Section 24.10.070.1; alleys are intended to serve as secondary access for abutting properties. They are not intended for through traffic. ANALYSIS: The remaining portion of the north/south alley is about 200 feet long. In the 1988 vacation hear-ing, the Planning Commission found that “the south half of the north/south alley appears to be an infrequently traveled “path”. That is still true today; however, it is used. It appears that property owners on the south half of the north/south alley are encroaching onto private property at the alley intersection in order to make a right-turn (north-bound to east-bound). The property on the southeast corner of the alley intersection could erect a fence that would restrict turning movements encroaching on private property. The fence would be legal and would not require any vacation action of public right of way. Finally, it should be made clear: if the vacation is approved, the vacated right-of-way will be of-fered for sale to abutting property owners at the City’s formula price. Property owners will not be forced to purchase any vacated right-of-way. However, if an abutting property owner chooses not to purchase his/her half of the vacated right-of-way it will be offered to the other abutting property owner. Once a right-of-way is vacated and sold it becomes “regular” property. It can be fenced and closed (subject to the right of franchise utility personnel to enter onto the property to maintain their respective utilities) and it can not be driven upon by anyone but the new owner (or those he gives permission to). EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USE: (In the Block) SC & NC-4; Three small stores/offices, two apartments, and 10 single family resi-dences EXISTING ZONING REQUIREMENTS: NC-4: NC.4: Single-family detached, single-family attached, and multiple-family dwellings SC: Limited-scale commercial uses in near proximity to residential neighborhoods SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USE: See following map:

DEPARTMENT COMMENTS Public Works: Sioux City Street Division would like the 5308-5314 MSA alley to remain open. The alley would be very difficult to do any type of maintenance work to it if half of it were closed. The only other option would be to close the entire alley then the Street Department wouldn’t have to do any maintenance to it. Garbage: In speaking with the route supervisor he would very much like to move these stops to the street side. Additionally, on my drive through, I found it would indeed affect the properties as you indi-cated plus 2010 S Olive. Fire Department: Fire Department staff report that it would be unlikely that they would bring fire equipment into the alleys whether the alley is vacated or not. Emergencies would be handled from the streets Police Department: The Police Department has been advised that there are neighborhood concerns about through traffic in the alley, that speed through the alley. They report that additional patrols will be made. Century Link: Century Link has buried telephone cables in the east/west alley and would need an easement to maintain the cables. MidAmerican Energy: There are existing overhead electric facilities which run in the east/west alley proposed to be vacated. MidAmerican Energy will require that an easement is maintained. Any required relo-cations of our facilities would be subject to reimbursement. Cable One: Cable one has overhead cables in the east/west alley COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2005 Comprehensive Plan indicates this area as Urban Residential. URBAN RENEWAL / URBAN REVITALIZATION / TIF: The subject property is not located in a TIF District. SUBAREA / CORRIDOR PLAN: The subject property is not in an area covered by a subarea or corridor plan

FLOOD PLAIN: The subject property is not located in a flood plain. CITIZEN RESPONSE: Sixteen (16) notices were sent within the required timeframe. Staff received many requests for information and have been received and six letters in response to the request. One notice was returned undeliverable.

Clarification Memo from Staff

Commission RCA RE: File 2018-0051 There seems to be a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding surrounding the vacation of that portion of the east/west alley in the block bounded by Morningside Avenue, S. Magnolia Street, 4th Avenue and S. Olive Street as it abuts 5308 to 5314 Morningside Avenue. This memo will try to address some of the confusion: (1) The area requested to be vacated as illustrated in the public notice sent to property owners last week is correct. It runs only from the line between 5306 and 5308 Morningside Avenue ex-tended, east to S. Magnolia Street. The portion of the alley right-of-way abutting 5306 Morning-side Avenue and 2010 S. Olive is not included in the vacation request. The portion of the alley abutting the rear (easterly) 30 or so feet of 2014 S. Olive is included in the vacation request but the portion of the alley abutting the front (westerly) 120 or so feet of 2014 S. Olive is not includ-ed in the vacation request.

As required by the Iowa State Code, the City must provide notification to all property owners within 200-feet of the alley proposed to be vacated, of the hearing on the vacation proposal. The area to be vacated cannot be enlarged without starting the vacation process over and providing new notice. No one has requested to enlarge the area proposed to be vacated. The area pro-posed to be vacated can be reduced in size without violating notification requirements. Either the applicant can ask that the area be reduced in size, or the Planning and Zoning Commission can approve the vacation of a smaller area while denying the request for the remainder. No one has made such a request, but such a request can be made. (2) The City of Sioux City owns land that is designated as Right-of-Way. However, the City has entered into (or in some cases, sold) franchise agreements to a number of utilities which give them the right to use various rights-of-way for their cables, pipes, poles and other pieces of equipment. These franchise agreements involve: MidAmerican Electric, Century Link (phone) Cable One and several other utility companies. (MidAmerican Electric, Century Link and Cable

are the only utilities in the east/west alley that I am aware of.) By vacating and selling, the City can dispose of the City’s interests in rights-of-way, but the City cannot dispose of the rights of the various franchised utilities that have cables, pipes, poles etc. in the rights-of-way. For that reason, all City deeds selling vacated rights-of-way contain the following language:

“This deed is subject to the right of the City of Sioux City, Iowa, to use said real estate in connection with the operation and maintenance of any presently exist-ing and installed public utility, above or below the ground, and subject to the same right on the part of public utility companies operating under franchise or special permit in the City of Sioux City, Iowa.”

Utility companies can object to the vacation of rights-of-way in which they have equipment. In this case, all three have objected. If the City Council believes it to be in the City’s best interests, those rights-of-way can be vacated anyway. The ability of those utilities to use and maintain their equipment remains however. (3) A number of residents have garbage pickup from the alley. Gill Hauling has advised that if the alley is vacated, garbage collection will move from the alley to the street. Garbage truck op-erators and most other service providers do not like to have to back up their vehicles. These companies, including the City’s Street Department, Utility Department and Fire Department use large, rather difficult to operate, vehicles and often they have crew members working behind them that the driver can’t see. For safety purposes, these crews really do not want to have to back up their vehicles. If the alley is vacated, affected residents will be provided with notices from Gill Hauling and/or the City advising them of the change in garbage service.

July 19, 2018

Re: Agenda Date: July 24, 2018 Agenda Item No. 2018-0051 To: Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission My name is Carmen Cobb and I live at 5306 Morningside Avenue. My garage faces the west end of the above-mentioned alley and it is the only access to my garage. My gar-bage is collected in that alley. If my garbage collection is moved to Morningside Ave-nue, there is ABSOLUTELY no way I can get my garbage to said Morningside Avenue in the winter as my yard fills up with snow and I have no place to store a garbage tote at the front of my house. In addition, that is a busy corner. Adding a garbage pickup would only increase the congestion and could cause a traffic hazard. There is an electrical transformer in the alley that MidAmerican needs access to from time to time. There have been times when I have needed to get a tow truck in there. It would be extremely difficult to do that with one end of the alley closed off. There are also other service vehicles that use the alley from time to time, i.e., telephone, cable, lawn services, snow removal, heating and cooling services, etc. With one end of the alley closed they would need to either back in or back out. In short, the closing of this alley would be highly inconvenient for me and for my neighbors, but I am most con-cerned about the garbage pickup. In November of 1988 we went through this same alley closing scenario with this same family. I respectfully urge you to make the same decision as your predecessors and recommend the denial of this current application. Thank you.

This email is in regards to the closing of the alley running East and West along

2014 S. Olive Street in Sioux City, Ia. I am Mary A Stubbs and I live at 2014 S.

Olive Street in Sioux city, IA. I am 100% against closing of this alley. My gar-

age is on this alley and I need to be able to use the alley to get to work or church or

any place I want to go. If any portion of this alley is closed, the garbage company

will not pick up the garbage by my garage which means I will have to walk on

snow and ice in the winter time to take my garbage to the street for pickup and at

my age I don’t want to have to walk on any ice if I don’t have to. Also, the person

that scoops my snow pushes the snow up against my shed and my fence and if any

portion is closed off and a fence is put up, I won’t be able to push the snow up to-

wards my fence or shed therefore blocking my way out. Also, there is an electric

pole at the corner of my fence and when the electricity goes out how are they going

to get to the pole to fix it?!! In looking at the portion that Mr. Headid wants to close, part of that alley I would

say would belong to me since my property on the south side of the alley goes to his

shed. I don’t have any desire to purchase my part of the alley and I will not give

Mr. Headid or anyone else permission to purchase my part. If you need to contact me on this matter, please call 712-490-0512. Thank you. Mary A. Stubbs Human Resources Manager Midwest Peterbilt Group 712-234-2726 [email protected]
















July17, 2018

Planning and Zoning Commission of Sioux City

I am requesting that the portion of the east/west alley in the block bounded by Morningside Avenue and South Magnolia, 4th Avenue and South Olive Street NOT BE CLOSED. ALL of the neighbors I have spoken with personally are also opposed to the closing of these two alleys.

I HAVE LIVED HERE FOR 33 YEARS AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM WITH SPEEDING VEHICLES.

I have raised 3 children here and 4 years ago I adopted 3 grandchildren, now ages 6, 7 & 8. There-fore I am outside at least 5 of the 7 days of the week. Since I do not have a fenced in yard, I watch these children carefully. I am always aware of vehicles going through the alley and people who walk through this alley. The children also alert me about anything that may be going on in this alley.

My house is located between two other houses and one of these alleys runs behind my property. In all the years I have lived here, there has never been even 1 year go by, that my alley has not been used by a LARGE TRUCK.

This alley is used by Mid American Energy every year for tree trimming services and re-pairs. There is phone service and cable services located on my property in the alley that needs to be used for service and repairs also.

I use the alley for my tree cutting services as that is the only way they can get to the neighbors trees in order to clear my electric and cable lines. I have also used this alley two other times when neighbor’s trees have fallen into my yard and I had to have services come in and remove the de-bris from my property. There would have been no way that these large semi trucks would have been able to back out of my alley due to the fact that there is a large utility pole at each end of my alley.

I use this alley for moving anything that would need to be taken into my house, as the door that faces the street is not large enough to use. I have also used this alley for large house repairs and yard work..

Back in 1988, we allowed Headids to close their part of the alley, since they owned property on both sides and it still allowed the rest of us to be able to use our alley. Now they want to close OUR alley. Most of the residents have lived here for 30 years and we have had no problems. Carol Border Stone, who owns this property, worked at the East End Beauty Shop located on their alley for over 20 years plus after the 1988 alley closing and has NEVER had a complaint. Her mother, who lived in the house behind the Beauty Shop and borders the alley, NEVER had a complaint about having the alley closed.

Why now is there a complaint about our alley? To my knowledge and other neighbors, this is the first time in the past 30 years anything has ever been done to the outside of this property. Not even a coat of paint!! Why does the person now working on the outside have a problem? The building he is working on is far from the alley. Milo Headid, who supposedly took out complaint, does not even live around here. Neither does the owner, Carol Border Stone. Nor have they been around here for the years that the rest of us have been using and living with the alleys in question.

There are neighbors that use their part of their alley to reach their garages. Also their garbage is collected in their alley. My neighbor to the back of my property, uses the alley to get equipment in and out of his property.

There is an electric pole at each end of my alley and the only way trucks such as Mid American Energy can get out of my alley is to drive up the alley to the east, which is the alley that wants to be closed. ALSO in the 33 years I have lived here the transformer on the electric pole in the east/west alley has blown a minimum of 3 times and Mid American Energy has had to come in the east end of the alley to repair.

There are 10 houses on this block. 3 houses are rental properties so residents come and go. The house at 5300 Morningside Avenue has no property near this alley. Even though they have lived there for over 30 years, this does not affect them. FOUR of the remaining properties have been occupied by the same owner for the past 25 years plus and ALL OF THE 4 USE THESE ALLEYS.

In closing, if this were to pass, the allowance between the garage on the complainants property and the alley would not be enough usable space, but would only collect debris that floats around and a good dump site for trees and unwanted garbage. It would also be a good place for unwanted people (gangs, druggies etc.) to hide and I don’t want that in my neighborhood. In closing, that would create a bigger problem than if we had people speeding through.

WE ARE AGAINST THE CLOSING OF THESE ALLEYS. PLEASE DO NOT CLOSE THEM.

Thank you for your time.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests City Council approve the requested site plan, subject to the follow-ing findings. Planning and Zoning Commission: Agenda Item 2018-0053: Requested site plan at 111 3rd Street. (Petitioner: SCE Partners LLC) Chris Madsen presented the item. He stated that the petitioner is requesting the removal of the access easement over vacated Pearl Street between 3rd and 4th Streets. Chris gave a brief history of the site plan and how it has existed. In 2013 a new zoning district was approved in the 1976 zoning code that required site plan approval for any casino use. In the 2015 zoning code, that did carry through as the CE zone. However, the original site plan was approved in 2013. A modified site plan was approved in 2014 that included an exterior pool and additional signage. The year 2015 saw another modified site plan changing the Battery Park area from a grass lot to a paved parking lot. In 2016 another modified site plan added the High Stakes gaming area and rearranged the surrounding parking lot. In 2018 the modified site plan for the parking garage was approved. The only change on the requested site plan is the closure of the thorough fare between 3rd and 4th Streets where Pearl Street was vacated in the original 2013 site plan, there will now be parking. Twenty six (26) stalls will be added and an addition-al island will be placed on the south side near 3rd Street to block any through traffic. The site plan shows the new island with directional signage, which will need to be approved. The utili-ty portion of the easement will need to stay, but the access easement will be removed. City Council voted on June 11, 2018 as part of the Development Agreement with the parking gar-age, in favor of removing the access easement on this portion of Pearl Street with the follow-ing language “The access easement running north/south in alignment with Pearl Street across the parking lot of Hard Rock Hotel and Casino would be dedicated for use by Hard Rock pa-trons only, utility easements would remain”. Although the Development Agreement has al-ready gone before the City Council, and because this item is in the Entertainment District, the site plan and the Board’s recommendation will need to go to City Council.

Geary asked if the entrances to the parking lot on both 4th and 3rd Streets were to remain the same except for signage to close the street. Chris replied that the curb cuts will remain the same and would access the parking lot. Stewart asked whether Engineering had done any studies on the traffic/pedestrian usage of the existing street in the parking lot or how traffic might be diverted. Chris stated that Engi-neering did not have any concerns with closing vacated Pearl Street. They did not think it would have a large impact on traffic circulation in the area. Engineering did say that it might be necessary to do a study in the future to discern whether signalization of 3rd and Pearl Streets might still be needed. Bostinelos also has concerns about safety and the need for the traffic light at 3rd and Pearl Streets. Jim Franke, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino General Manager and Ryan Callahan, Civil Engi-neer Constructors, 1270 S. Derby Lane, Dakota Dunes, were present for questions. Geary questioned the Hard Rock’s motivation for changing the street/parking lot. When the original site plan was approved both the property owners to the north and Hard Rock had concerns about vacating Pearl Street. Vacating and granting an easement was the agreed upon compromise. Hard Rock is building a parking garage, so why is there a need to change Pearl Street to more parking. Ryan replied the main reason is safety for their patrons having to cross Pearl Street with the traffic moving through the area, even with speed bumps and the small turn about the traffic does not slow down. Geary replied that at the time of the compro-mise it was known that safety would be a factor, it was a known issue. Stewart asked if any-one had thought about installing flashing lights (so that patrons know they are crossing a street) instead of closing the street. Ryan replied Hard Rock has mainly tried to slow traffic with the speed bumps and roundabout. Geary asked if the stamped concrete will be changed. Ryan replied that no engineering plans have been done to replace the red concrete. Calli-gan/Geary asked if the property owners to the north had been notified of the change. Chris replied that notices were sent out. Dan Moore, attorney for the Hard Rock, stated that another concern is the truck traffic. Signs have been posted trying to keep truck traffic off that section of Pearl Street. He stated as far as flashing lights signaling pedestrian crossings, a lot of people don’t realize they have to stop at the flashing lights. Jeff Conley, owner of Bodega Bar and Grill, 401 Pearl Street, stated he has concerns about the safety of foot traffic that uses Pearl Street going north and south to get to and from busi-nesses. Stewart asked the petitioner if there was a possibility of putting in a sidewalk/walkway for pe-destrians. Geary asked if that would cause more safety issues. Jim Franke replied that it would be possible. He hasn’t look at how the sidewalks might all tie together, but being able to get to and from the businesses on the north and south sides of the parking lot is something that they need to look into and figure out. Geary recommended using signage and lighting to delineate a safe pedestrian path from 3rd to 4th Streets. Calligan expressed concern about efforts to revitalize downtown and the proposal to take away the access on Pearl Street.

Stewart stated she felt this is all irrelevant, because the development agreement has already been approved by council. This is the third consideration recently that the Council had taken on Hard Rock items, there was the parking ramp site plan, the development agreement and now the street vacation. Is there any way these items can be grouped so that when we are discussing the parking garage we could have been told the development agreement contem-plated releasing the easement over Pearl Street? Hanson replied that staff would do their best. Geary asked Hansen his opinion on the release of the easement. Hansen replied that this is essentially a private street in a private parking lot and not dedicated right of way. The speed bumps were added to deter/slow traffic but have been no help. This is a unique situation where the Council had forced this on Hard Rock stating that the City would vacate the street and Council approved it, but you have to maintain as an open access easement. Geary re-plied that it was a compromise because Hard Rock did not build a parking garage at that time. Geary (Bostinelos) moved to approve the requested site plan subject to staff recommenda-tions that Hard Rock Hotel and Casino include a marked pedestrian path through the area on the site plan. Motion Carried. 4-1-0 (Yes: Stewart, Bostinelos, Geary, Silverberg, No: Calligan Abstain:0). Roll Call Findings of Fact: 1) Pearl Street was vacated and shown as an access easement during the original site plan

and final plat in 2013. 2) The applicant’s proposal conforms to the minimum Municipal Code requirements. Recommended Conditions of Approval: 1) Provide details of trees in landscaping island. 2) Provide details on proposed freestanding sign. 3) Provide pedestrian pathway through parking lot.

Attachment A: Ordinance Attachment B: General Area Map Attachment C: Notification Map Attachment D: Site Plan Attachment E: Minutes from May 14, 2013 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Attachment F: Application

BACKGROUND REPORT: The petitioner, SCE Partners LLC, requests a modified site plan for the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on property located at 111 3rd Street. The petitioner is proposing to close that portion of vacated Pearl Street located between 3rd Street and 4th Street. The petitioner is proposing to use the current drive lane for parking. A general area map and site plan are enclosed for your review. The CE (Casino Entertainment) zoning district requires all physical site changes to be reviewed by the Planning and Zoning Commission and City Council. The proposed alteration and addition of parking to the vacated Pearl Street drive lane is a substantial change to the approved site plan for the property, and requires review and notification. The original Hard Rock site plan, along with right of way vacations and a preliminary plat, were approved by the Planning Commission on May 14, 2013 and by City Council on June 3, 2013. A modified site plan was approved by Planning Commission on April 22, 2014 and City Council on May 12, 2014 adding an exterior pool and changing the signage on the site. A second modified site plan was approved by the Planning Commission on February 24, 2015 and by the City Council on March 9, 2015 changing the Battery Park area north of the old Battery Building from greenspace to a parking and concert area. A third modified site plan was approved by the Plan-ning and Zoning Commission on May 24, 2016 and approved by City Council on June 6, 2016 to add a high stakes gambling area and redesign the parking lot on the east side of the existing building. A fourth modified site plan was approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission on May 8, 2018 and the City Council on June 11, 2018 adding a parking garage south of 3rd Street that includes a bridge connected to the high stakes gambling area. ANALYSIS: As stated, SCE Partners LLC is requesting modified site plan approval. The petitioner is asking to close the drive lane that connects Pearl Street south of 3rd Street and north of 4th Street. This portion of Pearl Street was vacated with the original site plan in 2013, and included as a private drive lane on the site plan, and as a utility and access easement on the final plat. The petitioner intends to rerecord the final plat with the access easement language removed from the plat. The area will remain a utility easement, as there is a 24” water line, storm sewer line, and sanitary sewer line, as well as a MidAmerican electric lines that runs down the easement. Below is the excerpt from the 2013 Staff Report detailing the Pearl Street vacation: The petitioner is requesting vacating various right of ways in the project area. These include Water Street and Pearl Street between 3rd and 4th Streets. Pearl Street will be vacated, but will not be closed to through traffic. The petitioner intends to construct an accent stained and textured color concrete thru-way that will include speed “humps” and a traffic circle at the north entrance to the parking lot. The speed humps will not be speed bumps, in that the raised area will be much longer with metal bollards dividing the hump from adjacent parking. The traffic circle will be similar in nature to the Promenade circle, with the exception that there will be no parallel parking at this location. The main purpose of the speed humps and traffic cir-cle is to slow traffic through the parking lot while still allowing free traffic movement through va-cated Pearl Street.

An excerpt from the May 14, 2013 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting regarding the clo-sure of Pearl Street can be found in Attachment D. The Planning and Zoning Commission ulti-mately voted to keep Pearl Street as right of way. The City Council voted to close Pearl Street, but to keep the access easement and public drive lane open between 3rd and 4th Streets. The petitioner is requesting removing the Pearl Street access and replacing with 25 parking stalls, and an island facing 3rd Street with landscaping and a monument sign. The landscaping island would be required to have two (2) trees, to meet the tree island requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. Staff have not received details of the sign, other than the location on the site plan. A rendering of the sign will need to be submitted to Staff for approval. On June 11, 2018 the City Council voted to approve a development agreement with Hard Rock in relation to the parking garage structure. As part of that agreement, the City agreed to: The access easement currently running north/south (and aligned with Pearl Street) across the park-ing lot of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City, would be vacated, or dedicated for use by Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Sioux City patrons only. Easements for utilities would remain. EXISTING ZONING AND LAND USE: CE; Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Parking Lot EXISTING ZONING REQUIREMENTS: The CE district is meant for gambling casinos and other entertainment and associated retail and service uses which, due to the scale and unique characteristics of the use, warrants special planning considerations and approval procedures. PROPOSED ZONING REQUIREMENTS: N/A SURROUNDING ZONING AND LAND USE: North: CE ; Historic Pearl District South: GC ; Tyson Events Center East: GC ; Stoney Creek Hotel West: CE ; Wesley Parkway DEPARTMENT COMMENTS MidAmerican Energy (Electric): There are existing underground facilities which run in the va-cated Pearl St ROW. There are also existing underground facilities which run along the west side of Peart St, south of 3rd St. If any ROW that contains our facilities is to be vacated as part of this project, MidAmerican Energy will require that an easement is maintained. Any required relocations of our facilities would be subject to reimbursement. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2005 Comprehensive Plan indicates this area as “Downtown”. “Downtown” is an example of a true “mixed-use center”. It contains a mix of cultural, financial, governmental, institutional, entertainment, residential, and recreational uses. Continued growth of all types of land uses is appropriate. URBAN RENEWAL / URBAN REVITALIZATION / TIF: The subject property is located in The Battery SubArea of the Combined Central Sioux City – CBD Urban Renewal TIF District.

SUBAREA / CORRIDOR PLAN: The subject property is located in the West End District Plan. FLOOD PLAIN: The subject property is located in the 500 year flood zone. CITIZEN RESPONSE: Thirty three (33) notices were sent within the required timeframe. No responses were received.

Agenda Item 2013-0031: Requested site plan for the property bounded generally by Wesley Parkway, 5th Street, Douglas Street, and 2nd Street. (Petitioner: Sioux City Entertainment)

Geary questioned staff asking if they have ever allowed a petitioner to modify a site plan to show a through street be vacated and re-modified with speed humps.

Chris Madsen stated that he was not aware of any streets being vacated and granted through access via the petitioner maintaining that area. However, the area would be similar to the Prom-enade area which is City ROW.

Jeff Hanson also stated that he was not aware of something like this being done in the past, however although Pearl Street would be a through way, it would not be classified as a street. It would be a private drive maintained and owned by Sioux City Entertainment which means that liability would be on the property owner. The construction would also be the responsibility of the property owner.

Geary then questioned staff on what would be acceptable based on a traffic study of Pearl Street.

Jeff Hanson stated that this would be treated as a private driveway through a commercial prop-erty that you have to traverse from one parking lot to another to get to another business.

Jeff Hanson also stated that as part of the Pearl Street closure while it is under construction, staff has been working with Public Works staff to assign a detour route on 4th Street to Douglas Street, between 3rd Street and 4th Street on Douglas and to convert one block of Douglas Street into a two way section. Currently Douglas is one way to the North and staff feels that it is im-portant that during the construction to assign Douglas Street as a two way as a connection from 3rd Street to 4th Street and as part of that, during the construction period, they would like to ana-lyze the traffic pattern on Douglas Street and possibly make that conversion further north per-manent. This would relieve some of the through traffic off Pearl Street that travels both north and south bound.

Walt Fales, Vice President of Development for Sioux City Entertainment, Henderson NV was present and spoke on behalf of Sioux City Entertainment.

Fales stated that they had received the comments mentioned above from Sioux City staff.

Fales stated that the petitioner had no concerns with making the adjustments of the parking stalls. Updating the traffic impact study as well as the Milwaukee Weiner location and they have already directed their Engineers to move forward with that and the process is underway. The landscaping to the south of the facility as the lease would permit, they are happy to accommo-date that as well based upon what MidAmerican Energy Co. would permit.

They will also accommodate the reduction of height of the directional signage to six feet. Rede-velopment of the billboard sign is currently in discussion and they are requesting for the sign envelope to be approved. Relocation of the signage close to the Veterans Memorial will be moved to the west in order for it to be far away from the memorial. They will continue to show

the Pearl Street thru-way on all future renderings as depicted in the graphic. Also noted was one correction on the parking stalls. Currently they have 941 parking stalls plus 200 parking spots in the City parking garage. The petitioner asked for the monument sign comment to be reconsid-ered in which staff has asked that they go from two monuments to one per entrance. The peti-tioner feels that the monuments will provide easy directions for guest to visit the location. If staff is not willing to reconsider the monument comments, the petitioner will accommodate the re-quest.

Godwin asked the petitioner to explain the bus and RV parking.

Fales stated at this time there is no bus/RV designated parking stalls. The petitioner feels that the bus/RV traffic would more likely visit the location Monday-Thursday, and during non-peak hours. The buses/RV’s can utilize the parking lot that will be south of 3rd Street where they be-lieve there will be ample parking and could take up any amount if parking needed that would be underutilized at that time. If any time the demand for bus, RV, and semi parking increases, the petitioner will designate, paint or stripe parking stalls needed.

Calligan asked if there was a public entrance to the building on the east side.

The petitioner responded that there will be three prominent entrance locations, one on the south, north, and east.

Calligan also asked what type of outside façade the casino will have in comparison to the Bat-tery Building.

Walt Fales responded stating that they will be incorporating the new façade into the old façade but defiantly making them distinct in order to preserve the historical significance of the Battery Building.

Ross questioned if Daltons will continue to be an existing business or will they just simply be keeping the outside façade.

Fales stated that they will be keeping the outside façade and the inside will be part of the casino and backs to some restaurants.

Ross questioned if the petitioner anticipates any security issues with having three main entranc-es to the location.

Fales stated that they don’t anticipate any security issues due to Iowa law dictating anyone en-tering the casino floor needs to present identification. There will be two entrances to the casino floor that will be highly restricted and very well monitored.

Geary questioned if the bus, RV, and semi parking becomes an issues, can the site plan be modified per staff request to meet the parking demands of the location.

Chris Madsen responded stating that the Zoning Ordinance does allow staff to make minor modifications with administrative review. However, if there are a large amount of parking stalls being repainted or redesigned, the site plan would have to come back.

Rick Bertrand of 1501 Peavey Street, Sioux City spoke in favor of the Sioux City Entertainment items. Although Bertrand is in favor of the project, he did express concerns regarding the vaca-tion of Pearl Street as he also owns property on Pearl Street. Bertrand also had some concerns

with pedestrian traffic walking north to south from the Tyson Events Center to access the park-ing ramp on Pearl Street. Bertrand stated that there needs to be something in place on Pearl Street that will ensure pedestrian traffic safety. Bertrand also expressed concerns of Pearl Street businesses becoming a back side to the casino and being cut off. He also stated that there will be a stop light at 3rd Street and Pearl Street, but what will be in place at 4th Street and Pearl Street. Bertrand also stated that he would like to see Pearl Street stay as is for the flow of commerce and the investment that the City of Sioux City and private investors have put into the district. Bertrand also asked what the status is regarding the Rev. Haddock marker.

Geary asked the petitioner if they would lose parking or have to acquire more property if they left Pearl Street opened.

Walt Fales responded stating that if they had to create more parking stalls there are no ade-quate parcels in the area to do so. They would then have to look into a parking garage and at this time that is not part of phase one of the project. However, phase two of the project has a building façade that will go over the Pearl Street area and will then necessitate for a parking ramp or garage. He also stated that the biggest purpose for having Pearl Street vacated is to ensure guest safety and to minimize the amount of thru traffic in the parking lot.

Calligan asked if the petitioner if they have looked at any property north of the casino to utilize as parking. Calligan also asked if the petitioner has had any discussion on possibly utilizing vet-eran’s park area for parking.

Fales stated that they felt that one of the unique features to the Hard Rock facility and in the project itself was to keep a green area.

Bob Deck of 56 McDonald Dr., Sioux City spoke against the vacation of Pearl Street because he feels that it may cause traffic issues on other streets nearby.

Clay Jensen, 519 Pearl Street, Sioux City owner of Sioux City Power Sports spoke against the vacation of Pearl Street due to the fact that it is a highly traveled street and his business will be severely impacted by the vacation.

Godwin asked the petitioner what is the critical nature of closing Pearl Street.

Walt Fales stated that the closure of Pearl is for the safety of the pedestrians walking through the area and the need for parking spaces.

Ross then asked staff if there are any concerns if Pearl Street was not vacated.

Chris Madsen responded stating that if Pearl Street were to remain open there would have to be a thirty-one foot driving width and a sixty foot wide ROW width.

Ross questioned staff if there could be parking on the ROW.

Chris Madsen stated that would make parking city parking on city ROW and it wouldn’t be des-ignated to Hard Rock or privately controlled.

Godwin asked staff if there could be a possibility of reducing the sixty foot ROW and breaking the standard thirty-one foot width with a restricted through lane and maintaining it as city proper-ty.

Chris Madsen responded stating that it could be an option; however any maintenance/liability would then be the responsibility of the city.

Godwin stated that his biggest concern with the site plan is the patrons parking in the south parking lot off of 3rd Street. They will not be protected by a flashing yellow light when crossing the street.

O’Neill asked Godwin what he was proposing with that statement.

Godwin responded that there is a need for a lighted crosswalk that when a person presses a button, traffic has to stop at that location.

Calligan stated her concern regarding the business owners on Pearl Street. There is not enough information on the site plan which indicates how traffic will be re-routed and how these business owners will be able to keep their business traffic coming thru the casino site.

O’Neill then stated that one of the purposes of having a casino in the downtown area is to revi-talize the area and promote all business in and around the casino, not just the casino itself.

Godwin questioned staff on what the traffic control would be on 4th Street and Pearl Street.

Jeff Hanson stated that at this time the design of the intersection does not include a signalized intersection, it would be a stopped controlled intersection.

Godwin then asked if it would be a four way stop.

Jeff Hanson stated it’s currently designed as a four way stop.

Godwin commented on the drop off lane on the east entrance.

Jonas Payne representing Sioux City Entertainment, Henderson, NV stated that they discussed the traffic speed heading eastbound on 3rd Street with their traffic engineering consultant and they did not have any concerns with it. He also stated that their traffic engineering consultant felt that a crosswalk with flashing lights was more than adequate for pedestrian crossing safety.

Geary asked the petitioner if they were to leave Pearl Street opened, how many parking stalls would they lose.

Jonas Payne responded and stated that if they have to comply with a ROW width of sixty feet plus sidewalks they would lose between forty and fifty parking stalls.

Paul Stensland 616 Coniston Cir, Sergeant Bluff, IA stated that he is in favor of the project how-ever; he is concerned about Pearl Street being closed. He also stated that he is a Civil Engineer and has been involved in many projects around the city. Stensland stated he believes the de-veloper can leave Pearl Street opened and still make the project work.

Dan Moore, Attorney for Sioux City Entertainment 501 3rd Street Suite 300, Sioux City IA spoke on behalf of the petitioner stating that the closing of Pearl Street was critical to the entire devel-opment and this was known from the beginning of the process. After Sioux City Entertainment carefully studied Pearl Street, they have come up with an excellent compromise that would al-low the thruway to stay open and be safe for patrons as well as the public.

Godwin addresses Mr. Moore with stating a sidewalk on the north/south drive going through to accommodate pedestrians coming from the events center walking to Pearl Street. Godwin stat-ed that people are going to walk that route/area because of the events at the Tyson Events Center.

Dan Moore responded with a question to Godwin asking if he doesn’t think that pedestrians would use the sidewalk that was proposed along the east façade of the casino.

Godwin stated no. Pedestrians will take the straight route.

Walt Fales stated that they could accommodate a sidewalk; it just wouldn’t be a raised sidewalk.

Paul Taylor, 45 Ridgeview Rd, Sioux City, IA spoke against the closing of Pearl Street.

Once in executive session Ross directed a question at city staff. Ross stated that he is strug-gling with requiring Pearl Street to remain open due to it being an inefficient use of space. Ross stated he would like to be flexible with the petitioner. He stated that the only thing that would make him feel satisfied is to allow Pearl Street to become privately owned in order to minimize the risk and to not have any city parking on either side, remove the speed humps, remove the roundabout in order to create something that will be used by members of the public to get from place to place. Ross asked if there would be safety issues if they remove the speed humps and the roundabout.

Godwin stated that he does not see a problem with removing the speed humps and roundabout because there is a restriction of width that will be a slowing element for traffic as well as allow for sidewalks.

O’Neill addressed Ross and Godwin asking if they were both in favor of vacating Pearl Street, removing the speed humps and roundabout.

Ross and Godwin both stated that they are in favor.

O’Neill then stated that she is not in favor of vacating Pearl Street.

Geary stated that vacating Pearl Street doesn’t seem to be the best option to him and he under-stands that the first agenda item on this project is the vacation of Pearl Street. He questioned staff asking if it would be better to vacate everything except Pearl Street in order to keep control of the ROW while the petitioner and staff work on searching for a better compromise that every-one agrees on.

Justin Vondrak responded stating if the Commission would vote to vacate Pearl Street they would still have to approve the site plan and if there are changes they would like to see on it, they could direct the petitioner to return showing their recommendations on a revised site plan.

Justin Vondrak also stated that if the Commission does not vote to vacate Pearl Street at to-night’s meeting, the petitioner may have to come back with a revised site plan at a future time.

Geary responded to Vondrak’s comment asking if his inkling was to remove the vacation of Pearl Street from the site plan, would they have to come back with a revised site plan although he agrees with the entire site plan with the exception the Pearl Street vacation.

Vondrak then responded clarifying what he had previously stated, stating that the Commission would have to give the petitioner direction on a site plan to take to the City Council.

Chris Madsen then stated that removing the vacation of Pearl Street will drastically change the preliminary plat as it shows Pearl Street being part of lot one. The preliminary plat would then have to be revised to represent a through street in the area.

Godwin then stated that the Pearl Street thru-way design as presented would be functional with some minor modifications.

Calligan stated that once Pearl Street is vacated the City will not have any control over traffic moving through the area.

Calligan also stated that compromise in front of them shows giving up the ownership of Pearl Street and at that point the petitioner can do what they want with it.

Jeff Hanson stated that the petitioner would have to come back with a modified site plan if there any changes being implemented as the area is a casino overlay which requires approval of the site plan by both the Commission and the council.

O’Neill stated she is concerned for the people who purchased and restored buildings on Pearl Street for their business. Having the street vacated will impact these businesses in a negative way because the street will then become a parking lot.

Jeff Hanson stated to the Commission that the proposed development agreement that is sched-uled to be heard by the City Council on June 3, 2013 does include language that requires this proposed thru-way to remain on the site in its entirety until it’s either changed by site plan or by development agreement.

Godwin asked staff to comment on what they think about the removal of the speed humps and the roundabout.

Jeff Hanson stated that staff is comfortable if a design is proposed that shows a reduced width or other traffic calming devices other than speed humps or the traffic circle.

Justin Vondrak addressed the Commission to clarify confusions with the legal descriptions on a few of the tracts for this item. Everything that Chris Madsen has shown, Water Street between 3rd Street and 4th Street the parcels known as exhibit four abutting 3rd Street as well as the alley that’s between 4th Street and Wesley Parkway ROW are graphically correct on the maps pre-sented at tonight’s meetings.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff respectfully requests the City Council approve the proposed resolution setting dates for a consultation meeting and a public hearing on the proposed Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Combined Central Sioux City –CBD Urban Renewal Plan for the Combined Central Sioux City –CBD Urban Renewal Area.

DISCUSSION:

The City and Warrior Hotel Limited Partnership entered into a Development Agreement and a Minimum Assessment Agreement both dated March 19, 2018, pursuant to Resolution No. 2018-0218, relating to the redevelopment of property located at 505 6th Street, 525 6th Street, 620 Nebraska Street and 621 Nebraska Street into a hotel, retail and residential space. The current CBD Urban Renewal Plan provided for an amount not to exceed $13 million in assis-tance in the form of a loan, grant, and tax rebates for this Project. The Developer has now requested that the City consider additional support for this project in the form of Historic Tax Credit Guarantees until the State determines if these credits will be issued. The Developer has represented to the City that the Guarantees are necessary for the Developer to obtain construction financing prior to issuance of Historic Tax Credits. In order to provide these Guarantees, the City must amend its Urban Renewal Plan to allocate bonding capacity to the project. Through this Proposed Amendment No. 1, the City will additionally provide TIF assistance in the form of grants, guarantees, loans and/or tax rebates to Warrior Hotel Limited Partnership to facilitate the redevelopment. Assistance shall not exceed $30,000,000. If it is necessary to issue bonds to cover the Guarantees, the City will follow its bonding process and the necessary hearings will be noticed and scheduled. Additionally, an Amended Development Agreement, amended Minimum Assessment Agreement, and Forms of Guarantees will be brought to the Council for consideration and approval.

Iowa urban renewal law requires the City to amend its urban renewal plans to cover all ap-proved items which shall use Tax Increment Financing assistance for economic development projects. Schedule for Consultation Meeting and Public Hearing - If the proposed resolution is ap-proved, a consultation meeting will be scheduled for August 14, 2018 for comments by affect-ed taxing agencies. The public hearing on the proposed plan amendment will be scheduled for September 10, 2018.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

This amendment is necessary to allow the City to move forward with an economic develop-ment project.


The amendment to the City’s Urban Renewal Plans shows the City’s effort to maintain sound fiscal policy in dealing with the City’s financial health. Relates to Progressive Leadership Vision, PL-4 Formalize policies which result in sound fi-nancial practices.

SUBJECT: Presentation Regarding Dog Parks


Finance De-partment

x City Attorney

x City Man-ager

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff has been requested to bring forth a discussion item concerning the dog park located at Bacon Creek Park.

DISCUSSION:

On July 17, 2018, a Shi Tzu was killed by another dog in the Dog Park area of Bacon Creek Park, 5201 Correctionville Road, within the corporate limits of Sioux City. A Council member has requested discussion regarding the City’s current rules and regulations concerning dog parks. A copy of Chapter 7.08 Dog Park is attached for ready reference. As a threshold matter, Sioux City’s ordinances applicable to use of the Dog Park provide, in relevant part: 7.08.020 Rules Governing Use of Dog Park. The following rules and regulations shall govern the use of each dog park established under this chapter. 1. The dog park shall be for the use of dogs only and no other types of animals or pets shall be allowed to use the dog park. 2. The owner or other competent responsible person authorized by the owner shall at all times accompany each dog inside the fenced area of the dog park and shall be responsible for the supervision of such dog at all times while it is in the dog park. 6. All other provisions of the municipal code shall apply to the use of each such dog park and to the presence and conduct of dogs in each such dog park, including but not limited to the provisions requiring a cleanup of animal droppings, and prohibiting a dog from attacking persons or animals. In sum, all ordinances other than the leash provision apply in the Dog Park, without qualifica-tion.

Other Iowa Cities’ Policies:

• Cedar Rapids issues off-leash permits for dogs in designated off-leash areas of city parks. Those areas are not exempted from other ordinances governing a dog owner’s duties and responsibilities regarding preventing dogs from attacking and biting people or other animals.

• Des Moines has dog parks, and permits are required for entry. The rules governing those parks do not provide exemption from other ordinances governing a dog owner’s duties and responsibilities regarding preventing dogs from attacking and biting people or other animals.

• Iowa City has two dog parks. A use permit is required. The rules governing the parks do not provide exemption from other ordinances governing a dog owner’s duties and respon-sibilities regarding preventing dogs from attacking and biting people or other animals.

• Dubuque has a pet park. Its rules provide no exemption from other ordinances governing a dog owner’s duties and responsibilities regarding preventing dogs from attacking and biting people or other animals.

• Mason City has dog parks, and its animal code provides that all ordinances, rules and regulations pertaining to the exclusion, control or restraint of animals are obeyed, includ-ing within a City designated dog park.
