It should be noted that this may be the last year we can continue with this agreement as growth within the community is stressing our resources to maintain the level of service our residents are comfortable with receiving during snow emergencies. COST: There is no cost associated with approval of this resolution ALTERNATIVES:

ITEM TITLE: Consider an Engineering Services Agreement for the Delaware St RISE project CONTACT PERSON: Luke Nelson

SUMMARY EXPLANATION & HISTORY: At a previous Council meeting it was determined that Council supported the application of a RISE grant. Since that time the DOT Commission has awarded Norwalk with a Local Development RISE Grant in the amount of $845,219. The DOT has notified us that we can begin incurring costs for the project as of June 13, 2017. Upon notification we asked V&K to provide the City with an engineering agreement for services (design & construction oversight). That agreement is attached. FUNDING:

Included in the $1.46M project noted above is $223,575.66 in engineering fees. The attached agreement includes $254,000 in engineering fees. This is due to the thought that the City should plan for additional pavement to the furthest extent of the certified site with an overall intent to keep long-term costs down. V&K is recommending that we include this additional 500-foot of pavement as an alternate when we bid the project. If prices are favorable the City could pave the entire 1,900-feet of certified site frontage. ALTERNATIVES:

1. Approve the attached resolution. 2. Modify the agreement for fees of $223,576.66 and approve the attached resolution. 3. Take no action at this time.

RECOMMENDATION: It should be understood that approving the agreement as presented would be an additional cost of approximately $30,500. This additional cost is beyond the budget number highlighted in blue above and would have to be funded by the City. Staff recommends Alternative 1.

BUSINESS OF CITY COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT

Item No. 7 & 8 For Meeting of 07.06.2017

ITEM TITLE: Public hearing and consideration of a rezoning request to rezone approximately 32 acres of ground north Delaware Street and approximately 800 feet west of Iowa Highway 28 from A-R Agricultural Reserve to M-1 General Industrial.

CONTACT PERSON: Luke Parris, AICP – Community Development Director

SUMMARY EXPLANATION: In 2014, the City worked with the Iowa Economic Development Authority to have 55 acres of ground identified as a Certified Industrial Site. The Ancell/Knox property that was certified is located on the southend of town at the northwest corner of Delaware Street and Iowa Highway 28. After the site was certified with the state, the City annexed the ground. When ground is annexed into the City it defaults to the City’s A-R Agricultural Reserve zoning district. In late 2016 and early 2017, the City was contacted by representatives from Windsor Windows & Doors about the potential location of a window manufacturing facility in Norwalk at the certified site. Windsor Windows & Doors acquired 27 acres of the certified site for their facility and the City zoned the area to M-1 General Industrial in May 2017. At the time, the remainder of the Certified Site was left as A-R Agricultural Reserve, though the City’s future land use plan does identify the area for future industrial growth. During the Windsor Windows & Doors project, the City applied for and received $845,000 from the Iowa DOT’s RISE program. This grant was to pave Delaware Street from the intersection of Iowa Highway 28 through the area in front of Windsor Windows & Doors and extend west to area in front of the undeveloped Certified Site. This provided the City with a paved access to the remainder of the Certified Site, making the area more development ready. As part of the RISE grant, the Iowa DOT requires that adjacent project ground be zoned for industrial use. Therefore, for the City to proceed with the paving project, a rezoning of the remainder of the Certified Site needs to be considered. The area was identified for industrial growth in the City’s Comprehensive Plan and through the Certified Site process. Adjacent property to the north and east are currently zoned in the M-1 district as part of the Norwalk Business Center and Windsor Windows & Doors Project. The property to the south and west is not currently in the City and is a current farmstead with farm ground. All of the surrounding property is planned as industrial ground in the City’s future land use map. ALTERNATIVES:

1. Approve the rezoning to the City Council 2. Approve the rezoning to the City Council with conditions 3. Take no action at this time.

PLANNING & ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At the June 26, 2017 Planning & Zoning Commission meeting, the Commission recommended approval of the rezoning request. The request is in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and future land use map. Through the site certification process, the City has anticipated and planned for extension of City services and the necessary upgrades to the transportation network to accommodate industrial users in this area.

ITEM TITLE: Consideration of approval of a parkland dedication agreement for Cort Landing


The City’s Subdivision Regulations require that all residential developments dedicate parkland to the City. For Single-Family Residential developments, the City requires 783 square feet of parkland for each single-family home. If a Developer is not proposing parkland within a development, they can request the City enter into an agreement to meet the parkland requirement through other means. The Cort Landing subdivision is a 37 lot single-family development. Per Subdivision regulations, the developer is required to provide 28,971 square feet (0.67 acres) of parkland for the development. During preliminary platting, the developer indicated that they would not locate a park within the development. During final platting of Cort Landing Plat 1, the City staff and the developer discussed that the developer could meet the parkland dedication requirement by providing grading services for the development of Orchard View Park along Orchard Hills Drive. The attached Parkland Dedication Agreement is a draft that memorializes the developer providing grading services in lieu of the dedication of ground for parkland. The staff will provide a finalized agreement prior to the Council meeting.

ITEM TITLE: Discussion and Direction for a Proposed Rate Increase of Irrigation Rates CONTACT PERSON: Public Works

SUMMARY EXPLANATION & HISTORY: Staff has been working on assembling data regarding an over view of water usage. While performing this research, it is evident that our peak months of usage are consistently in the summer when participation is low and temperatures are high. It is during these periods that irrigation of lawns is the cause of the consumption peaks during the summer. Realizing that irrigation is a luxury in an effort to keep yards green, we are suggesting a “user fee” be applied. Currently our irrigation rate is the same as our water rate, which will be $5.93 per thousand gallons as of July 1, 2017. On June 12th the Utility Advisory Commission considered this issue and passed a recommendation to the council suggesting increasing the rate on irrigation water to twice that of potable water or $11.86 per 1000 gallons.

ITEM TITLE: Discussion and Direction for a Proposed Rate Increase for Hydrant Meter Deposits and Rates for Bulk Water

CONTACT PERSON: Public Works

SUMMARY EXPLANATION & HISTORY: It has been brought to our attention that our Agreement for Hydrant Meter Usage needs some updating. The deposit has not been adjusted for quite some time and it does not reflect the current cost to replace a hydrant meter unit. We currently offer 1 ½” and 2” hydrant meters,

and the existing $950 deposit does not cover the cost of meter, backflow device, and other equipment. The cost of a 2” hydrant meter is currently $1,435 without the backflow preventer, operating wrench, cart, and hose that are included in the Agreement. With these items included, we are recommending the deposit be increased to $1,800.00 In addition, the current rate for bulk water/hydrant water is $5.93 per thousand. Staff recommended to the Utility Advisory Commission the bulk rate be increased to 1.5 times that amount. This would put the rate at $8.90. The commission then voted to recommend to the Council that the rate be increased to twice the rate of potable water. This item is for discussion and recommendation to staff to prepare an ordinance for presentation to the City Council.

ITEM TITLE: Discussion regarding the vacation of ROW near O’Learys CONTACT PERSON: Luke Parris, AICP – Community Development Director

On May 4, 2017, the City received a letter from Eric O’Leary, owner of O’Leary Funeral & Cremation Services Celebration of Life Center, regarding City owned Right-of-Way (ROW) on the north side of the property. Mr. O’Leary has requested that the City consider vacating this ROW so that he may purchase for potential site expansion. Mr. O’Leary identified that he would like expand the driveway in this location, construct a workshop/garage for the business, and place a garbage dumpster near the new workshop/garage. The request letter from Mr. O’Leary and a map identifying the ROW area are attached. Staff review of the site indicates that this ROW area was like planned for a western expansion of Parkhill Drive at some point. With the current location of O’Leary’s and the City State Bank building, it is unlikely that the ROW area could accommodate a through connection of Parkhill Drive to Iowa Highway 28.

ITEM TITLE: Discussion regarding the zoning and future land use designation for the Stark Property east of 50th Street near County Line Road


City staff recently met with Real Estate agents seeking to list the Stark Property on the northern side of town near 50th Avenue and County Line Road. The agents requested information on allowable uses for the property and indicated they wished to market the ground as it is currently zoned. The City determined that there is a conflict between the current zoning and the recently approved future land use. The property is approximately 225 acres and currently zoned a mix of A-R, IC, and PC. The area is also located within the approach zone of the Des Moines International Airport. This zone has restrictions on building height; has restrictions on site lighting; recommends low intensity uses; and requires special noise mitigation measures during building construction. The approach zone does not circumvent the City’s ability to determine appropriate land uses within the zone. In 2016, the City adopted the updated future land use plan and map. In that planning effort, changes were made to the proposed land uses for this area. The new future land use map calls for a new Sub Area of Residential/Commercial Flex development along 50th Avenue and low density residential development to the east. The Residential/Commercial Flex corridor was identified because the City was running out of potential commercial development along our main thoroughfare of Iowa Highway 28. The concept is that 50th Avenue would become the secondary commercial corridor within the community due to the development of Veteran’s Parkway in West Des Moines and the connection to 50th Avenue from Maffit Lake Road. Prior to 2016, the previous future land use plan and map identified the entire area, including the North Shore development, as Sub Area 2 in the City that required special planning. The plan identifies residential uses, retail uses, office uses, and educational/municipal/community uses in the Sub Area. Both the 2016 updated future land use plan, and the previous future land use plan, are in conflict with the current zoning. The previous plan would have allowed the uses in the PC district and the office type uses in the IC district, though not any of the more intense industrial uses. The change in the 2016 update would not allow the IC and the PC uses in the areas they are currently zoned. The Residential/Commercial Flex area along 50th Avenue would allow some office uses but primarily retail and residential. Currently, with the zoning in place, portions the Stark Property can be developed with uses compatible with the IC or PC district. This is not in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan. To conform, the City would need to consider a rezoning of the property or an amendment to the Future Land Use Plan. The City staff is looking to clarify an approach for handling this non-conformity.

of 2

PLANNING & ZONING DISCUSSION The Commission discussed this issue at their June 26, 2017 meeting. The Commission members had differing opinions. Some members felt that the City should stay with the Residential planned recently developed Future Land Use Update in 2016. Others felt the City should keep the area as Industrial Commerce and Professional Commerce as it is currently zoned.

ITEM TITLE: Variance Request to Discharge Clear Water into the Sanitary Sewer System CONTACT PERSON: Public Works Department

SUMMARY EXPLANATION & HISTORY: The discharge of clear water into the sanitary sewer system is a prohibited act according to Norwalk Municipal Code, Chapter 95 section 95.04. Under paragraph 2 it says “Surface run-off or Groundwater. Connect a roof downspout, sump pump, exterior foundation drain, areaway drain, or other source of surface run-off or groundwater to a building sewer or building drain which in turn is connected directly or indirectly to a public sanitary sewer.” The City has an ongoing program that identifies instances where foundation drains and sump pumps discharge into the sewer system, offers an incentive to disconnect, and levies a penalty if the practice continues. We are experiencing an instance where a property is discharging a foundation drain into their yard as required. However this property has such a significant amount of ground water on a continual basis and the discharge saturates the yard, soaks adjacent ground, flows over the sidewalk, and then into the street. This situation causes ice buildup in the winter and algae in the summer. There is not any storm sewer or secondary storm in this area. It is due to this situation that we request a variance to allow this property to connect their sump pump discharge into the sanitary sewer until a secondary storm line can be made available. Staff has discussed this issue with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The DNR does not have any issues with this alternative, noting that this type of restriction is a City issue only. ALTERNATIVES:

1. Take action to approve the variance request 2. Discuss and consider other alternatives 3. Take no action

RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative No. 1.

of 2

CITY COUNCIL CITY OF NORWALK, IOWA

RESOLUTION NO

RESOLUTION APPROVING VARIANCE TO DISCHARGE CLEAR WATER INTO THE SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM

WHEREAS, the City Of Norwalk has an ordinance which states that clear water such as sump pumps and foundation drains shall not discharge into the sanitary sewer system; and

WHEREAS, property owners are directed to discharge clear water into the storm sewer system whenever

available or into their yards; and WHEREAS, there exists some areas where storm sewer does not exist and that ground water is so

significant that discharge above ground is not practical. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Norwalk, Iowa, that Section 1: That the City approves a variance allowing the discharge of clear water into the sanitary sewer system on a temporary basis until storm sewer/secondary storm sewer can be made available. Section 2: That the determination to allow such a variance would be the discretion of the Public Works Director based on the nature of each individual situation.

Passed and approved this 6th day of July, 2017.

ITEM TITLE: Discussion and Direction for Application of Storm Water Fees CONTACT PERSON: Public Works Department

SUMMARY EXPLANATION & HISTORY: In January 2010 a formal policy was adopted for Calculating a Storm Water Drainage Utility Charge. The staff at City Hall discovered that when this calculation was entered into the billing system the rate was entered incorrectly and some properties have incorrect measurements which affect the amount of the monthly fee. Utility Billing staff and the Community Development Intern has gone through every account and measured the square feet of impervious area of each location, then re-calculated the units billed with the correct rate for each commercial property. The measurement of square feet for each property was provided by Community Development and will continue to be provided to the Utility Billing Clerk for any new commercial properties. The correct rate also needs to be entered into the utility billing software. At this time the annual revenue from this fee is $46,381.20. With the corrections the annual revenue will be $114,762.36. An increase in revenue of $68,381.16. The question now posed to the City Council is how this adjustment is applied. The Utility Advisory Commission considered this at their June 12, 2017 meeting and after discussion voted to recommend to the Council is to implement the corrected rates effective January 1, 2018 which would allow most customers time to adjust their budgets accordingly. By delaying fee to that date there is a result of $28,500 in lost revenue. With the direction from the council, staff will prepare an ordinance to have the correct rate incorporated into the City Code.
