Department: Community & Economic Development Action / Date

Subject:
Public Hearing on the recommendations for Year 52 (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Hold the Hearing.
Background:
The Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC) completed its process for funding recommendations for
the Year 52 CDBG program, which is a subpart of the City’s FY 2027 operating budget. The CAC
reviewed the CDBG applications at a work session and held a public meeting at which applicants
made presentations and answered questions about their programs. The CAC’s process
concluded on March 2, 2026, when the CAC passed a motion on its Year 52 funding
recommendations for the Federal FY 2026 CDBG estimated entitlement of $1,574,080. The
votes on the entire slate of recommended allocations were unanimous.
The purpose of the HOME Program is to create affordable housing opportunities for low- and
very low-income residents. City HOME dollars are targeted to the construction or rehabilitation
of single and multi-unit housing. HOME funds are available to non-profit, for-profit, or
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) developers of affordable housing. For
Federal FY 2026, the estimated HOME awarded entitlement is $406,017.
The attached Funding Summary includes the following for each of these programs: the agency
receiving funds, its purpose, the services it will provide, and the amount of funding to be used.
HOME dollars are reflected in bold. These allocations will be included in the Year 52 Annual
Action Plan, which will be submitted to HUD for approval after Congress passes the HUD budget
and HUD announces the City’s actual allocation amounts.
Awarding of these funds is contingent upon the City receiving the entitlements as indicated
from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CAC also passed a motion to
authorize City staff to make across-board cuts and increases to awards if the allocation is +/-
20%. If the allocation is more than +/- 20% from the estimated amount, the CAC will meet
again to make new recommendations.

Subject:
Public Hearing on the proposed conveyance of approximately 3.12 acres of City-owned property
located in the 3100 block of Research Parkway to Corn Belt Properties LLC, Petitioner. [Ward 8]
Recommendation:
Hold the Public Hearing.
Background:
In the late 1900s, prior to the creation of the Eastern Iowa Industrial Center (EIIC), the area
consisted of rural roads. The subject property encompasses approximately 3.12 acres of that
former road network. In 2021 and 2022, the Petitioner, Ryan Hintze of Corn Belt Properties LLC,
a local developer of commercial and industrial properties, acquired parcels adjacent to this
approximately 3.12-acre City-owned right-of-way (ROW) and submitted an application to the
City to vacate the ROW.
The vacation was approved by the City Council in 2022. However, a 9-acre parcel to the south
had not been developed and was under separate ownership. Most of the remaining properties
in the EIIC have been developed, with this parcel representing one of the last remaining areas.
Factors contributing to this include the small lot sizes, as well as the costs of access and road
construction for smaller developments.
In late 2025, Mr. Hintze reached an agreement with the remaining property owner of the
adjacent 9-acre parcel to the south, with acquisition expected in March 2026. Approval of this
offer will complete the assemblage of small parcels, creating an 18-acre development site within
the EIIC.
The City's approximately 3.12-acre parcel generates no property tax revenue currently. The
prospect of industrial development, which is in demand in this area, would generate future
property tax revenue and job creation. Corn Belt Properties acquired the adjacent 6-acre site for
roughly $25K/acre in 2022 and is closing on the adjacent 9-acre site at a cost of $30K/acre next
month. The offer for the L-shaped former ROW corridor is roughly $28K/acre for a total of
$87,360.
While a 2025 appraisal of the property put the value of the City's approximately 3.12 acres at
around $54K/acre, the functionality of the shape and size, coupled with comparability with
recent adjacent sales and the City's desire to encourage assemblage of an appropriately sized
industrial development parcel under one owner have led to staff's recommendation.
In accordance with Iowa State Code, notice of this Public Hearing was advertised in the Quad-
City Times.

Subject:
Public Hearing on the plans, specifications, form of contract, and estimate of cost for the Middle
Road (East Street to Forest Road) Mill and Overlay project, CIP #35062. [Ward 5 & 6]
Recommendation:
Hold the Hearing.
Background:
This project will resurface Middle Road from East Street to Forest Road. The fundamental
design approach utilized for this improvement is to remove the top surface through milling and
replace it with a new 2-inch thick asphalt surface, while patching identified areas of sub-base
failures.
This project proposes changing the existing skewed intersection of East Street and Middle Road
into a code-compliant perpendicular access connection along with separating the connections of
East Street and Woodland Avenue to Middle Road. The current intersection of East Street and
Middle Road is an oblique angle, which compromises visibility and creates awkward turning
movements. East Street and Woodland Avenue will be realigned and connected to the main
roadway through two separate access points spaced along Middle Road. These connections will
provide more controlled entry and exit movements.
This modification is intended to improve safety and traffic efficiency by eliminating the skewed
crossing movement and reducing turning conflicts. Separating the access points also allows
each connection to be located where sight distance and roadway alignment are improved,
making it easier for drivers to safely enter Middle Road. The fire department has already
reviewed the proposed design and has confirmed compliance with emergency vehicle turning
requirements.
The proposed improvements include, but are not limited to, the furnishing of all labor, materials
and equipment necessary for the resurfacing of the existing asphalt roadway; full depth
patching; ADA sidewalk and ramps; resetting of all existing utility surface features to finish
grade; replacement of the adjacent alley approaches; paint striping; topsoil; sodding; and
erosion control.
This project is budgeted in CIP #35062 | Neighborhood Street Repair Program.

Subject:
Second Consideration: Ordinance for Case ORD26-01 being the request of Palmer College of
Chiropractic to amend the Campus Land Use Plan, generally bounded by West 12th Street,
Harrison Street, 6th Street, and Pershing Avenue. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Consider the Ordinance.
Background:
Palmer College of Chiropractic is undergoing a comprehensive planning effort for their campus,
generally bounded by West 12th Street, Harrison Street, 6th Street, and Pershing Avenue. This
request amends the Campus Land Use Plan adopted in 2021, which focused on improvements
to the northeast corner of campus. This included the construction of VanDuyne Hall for student
housing, the outdoor turf recreational field, and the conversion of 11 Street into a pedestrian
corridor. Since these items have been implemented, the institution is identifying future projects
to be completed over the next ten years.
2026 Campus Master Plan Amendments
The proposed updates include improvements to the main campus entrance off Brady Street,
plans for a new academic facility, enhancements to off-street parking lots, expanded green
space, and potential sites for future student housing. The plan also prioritizes improved traffic
safety, particularly along Perry Street. In addition, the amendment updates the Institutional
Campus District boundaries to reflect recent property acquisitions.
Collectively, the proposed changes are intended to enhance campus access, safety, and overall
functionality while supporting the institution’s long-term growth. Additional details are provided
in the attached Campus Master Plan.
Zoning
Palmer College of Chiropractic is zoned IC Institutional Campus District, which is intended
to encourage a comprehensive approach to development by significant institutions within the
City. The IC District is also intended to:
1. Further the policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
2. Permit appropriate institutional growth within the boundaries of the district while
minimizing the adverse impacts associated with development and geographic expansion.
3. Balance the ability of specific institutions to grow and adapt to changing needs while
protecting the livability and vitality of adjacent areas.
4. Encourage the preparation of a land use plan for higher development intensity
institutional campuses that enables the community to understand the levels of
development being proposed, their likely impacts and appropriate mitigation measures.
The IC District operates with two levels of regulation. The first is a set of base district
regulations that provide for a certain intensity of development by-right. The second allows for
the approval of a land use plan, which must be approved by the City Council, that creates
regulations that allow for flexibility in the development and expansion of the institution above
the standards set by the base district regulations. Once a land use plan is submitted and
approved, the development proceeds in accordance with the plan rather than the base district
regulations.
Why is a land use plan required?
An approved land use plan is effective for a period of ten years, although updates and
amendments may be pursued during that time period. Development projects consistent with the
adopted land use plan will undergo administrative site plan and building permit review.
Palmer College of Chiropractic's previous Campus Master Plan was approved in 2021. Since that
time, the college has engaged in a comprehensive planning process to assess future growth and
development opportunities. As a result of this effort, an updated Campus Master Plan has been
prepared and formally submitted to the City for review and approval.
Plan and Zoning Commission Recommendation
At its February 17, 2026 meeting, the City Plan and Zoning Commission voted to forward Case
ORD26-01 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval subject to the listed findings.
Findings
1. The land use plan is consistent with the Davenport +2035 Future Land Use Plan.
2. The land use plan amendment is appropriate for an 'Educational Facility-University or
College'.
3. The proposed land use plan is generally consistent with the established institutional and
residential character of the area.
4. The land use plan is consistent with the principal uses permitted within the IC
Institutional Campus District.
5. The proposed zoning map amendment promotes the public health, safety, and welfare
of the City.
6. The proposed Campus Land Use Plan does not create any nonconformities.

Major Amendment Description
December 26th, 2025
Reason for Major Modification to IC
As part of Palmer College’s mission to continue to provide a world-class education to the
chiropractors of the future, we are constantly evaluating our campus to try to provide the best
facilities possible for our students, staff, and patients. During the most recent round of the
campus reviews, several areas of focus were identified for improvement in the campus footprint.
These updates include improvements to the main campus entrance off Brady Street, plans for a
new academic facility called the Palmer Forum, enhancements to parking, improved traffic flow
and wayfinding, and expanded green space and outdoor study areas. The plan also prioritizes
improved traffic safety along Perry Street and identifies potential sites for future student
housing. Together, these changes will strengthen the campus experience for students, staff,
and visitors alike.
The major amendments included in this submittal are:
1. The addition of properties to the campus footprint.
a. Proposed changes to the campus boundary incorporate properties adjacent to the
current boundary that have been acquired by Palmer College since the last Campus
Master Plan was approved in 2021. Properties that are being incorporated into the IC
footprint include:
i. 1111 Perry Street
ii. 208 E 11th Street
iii. 822 Pershing Ave
iv. 739 Perry Street (The Roslyn)
v. 727 Perry Street
vi. 725 Perry Street
2. The removal of the previously proposed mixed-use development east of Brady Street, North
of Palmer Drive.
a. The latest approved IC included a mixed-use development in the northern vicinity of
the campus. When evaluating the plans for the development of the campus over the
next 10 years, this property was not a priority. Palmer is removing the proposed
development and showing the underlying properties as they currently exist in the
future campus plan.
3. Vacation of Palmer Drive Right of Way and the revisions to the layout and use of the
previous Palmer Drive Right of Way.
a. One of the main focuses to come out of the review of the campus plan was the
desire to develop a well-defined main campus entrance off Brady Street at the
existing Palmer Drive location. The currently approved IC includes the closure of the
east half of Palmer Drive with traffic being directed to the north to the alleyway
between Brady Street and Perry Street. The updated campus plan proposes a
similar layout, with some key changes. The east half of the vacated Palmer Drive
will be changed to a pedestrian corridor, similar to the pedestrian corridor that was
constructed on 11th Street. This pedestrian area will be designed to allow emergency
services access through the area if necessary. The west half of Palmer Drive will be
converted from a one-way road to a campus entrance. This entrance will allow drop-
off near the campus center, have a roundabout to maintain access to the alleyway
north of the road, and will have a new drive from the Palmer campus back onto
Brady Street. This proposed layout has received preliminary approval from the Iowa
DOT, and the drive will also be designed for emergency services access. Palmer
would also like to use bricks that are salvaged from under the existing Palmer Drive
Right of Way in the design of the new drive and walkway pavement sections.
4. Adding the Palmer Forum and associated outdoor plaza area.
a. Another area of emphasis that came out of the latest campus review was the need
for an academic space that could also act as a gathering space for large
presentations or celebrations. Multiple areas of campus were investigated to find the
most appropriate location for this space, and it was ultimately determined that a
central campus location north of the Bechtel center was the best fit. This new
building, the Palmer Forum, is intended to be flexible enough to host large and small
classes, as well as graduation and speaker presentations. Adjacent to the proposed
Palmer Forum, the new campus master plan includes an enhanced greenspace and
outdoor study area. This area will be similar to other outdoor study spaces on
campus such as the Keller Terrace, the Clinic Gardens, and the VanDuyne Hall
courtyard.
5. Removing the previously approved closure of the west half of 9th street between Perry Street
and Pershing Street.
a. After evaluating traffic circulation patterns throughout the campus and discussing
access with city emergency services personnel, it was determined that the benefits
from the closure of this portion of 9th street would be outweighed by the impact on
emergency access to the surrounding community. Because of this, Palmer is
removing this proposed closure from the campus master plan.
6. Improved traffic safety features along Perry Street between 12th street and 9th Street.
a. As part of the new campus master plan, Palmer is anticipating an increase in the
pedestrian circulation in the center of campus. This area generally includes the 11th
street pedestrian corridor, the VanDuyne Student housing courtyard, the proposed
Palmer Drive pedestrian corridor, and the proposed Palmer Forum outdoor plaza.
Though these areas are close in proximity, they are generally bisected by the Perry
Street Right of Way. In order to encourage safe vehicular / pedestrian interactions in
this area and to minimize the risk of any accidents occurring, Palmer is proposing
three traffic calming bump outs along Perry Street between 12th street and 9th street.
These bump outs would help consolidate pedestrian crossings on Perry Street while
also slowing traffic as it passes through the center of the Palmer Campus.
7. Removing the previously approved partial closure of 8th Street between Main Street and
Brady Street.
a. With the addition of the proposed student housing and parking lots south of 8th street,
the college determined that it would be more beneficial to have increased
accessibility between Main Street and Brady Street than to continue the plan to close
the west half of 8th Street. Because of this, the college is removing the proposed
closure of 8th street from their campus master plan.
8. Adding sites for future student housing buildings east of Main Street.
a. Due to the success of the VanDuyne student housing building, Palmer college
determined that there is a sufficient desire for additional student housing within the
campus footprint. To meet this demand, two student housing buildings as well as
associated parking lots are being shown in the empty lot east of Main Street. These
structures were shown in previous versions of the campus master plan but were
removed with the latest approved IC when VanDuyne hall was added. The college
believes that within the next 10 years there will be sufficient demand for on-campus
housing to support the additional proposed units.
9. Removing the partial closure of 7th street between Main Street and Brady Street.
a. With the addition of the proposed student housing and parking lots north of 7th street,
the college determined that it would be more beneficial to have increased
accessibility between Main Street and Brady Street than to continue the plan for the
partial closures at both ends of 7th street. Because of this, the college is removing the
proposed closure of 7th street from the campus master plan.

k. The location of existing and proposed landscaping and buffering to be developed
in the project. Massing and density of plant and other screening materials must
be indicated.
Existing Landscape screening areas can be seen on sheets C-1 - Overall
Existing Conditions, C-2 - Existing Conditions - North, and C-3 - Existing
Conditions - South. Proposed landscaping and buffering can be seen on
sheets C-4 - Overall Land Use Plan, C-5 - Land Use Plan - North, and
C-6 - Land Use Plan - South.
l. Location and configuration of all existing and proposed access points within
public streets and a pedestrian / bicycle circulation plan.
All existing access points to campus can be seen on sheets C-1 - Overall
Existing Conditions, C-2 - Existing Conditions - North, and C-3 - Existing
Conditions - South. All proposed access points can be seen on sheets C-
4 - Overall Land Use Plan, C-5 - Land Use Plan - North, and C-6 - Land
Use Plan - South. Proposed road closures can be seen on the sheets
showing the final campus layout. To help enhance the pedestrian and
bicycle circulation through the center of Campus, the proposed plan
includes the conversion of the east half of Palmer Drive to an enhanced
pedestrian corridor. This pedestrian corridor will be designed in a way to
maintain emergency service access through the existing Palmer Drive
R.O.W. In addition to this, Palmer is proposing three traffic calming bump
outs along Perry Street between 9th street and 12th street. These bump
outs will allow for safter Pedestrian circulation between the center of
campus where the Palmer Forum will be located and the east end of
campus where the VanDuyne student housing and turf recreation field is
located.
m. Storm water management plan.
Currently there is very limited public storm sewer in any area of the
Palmer Campus. As part of the construction of the VanDuyne Student
housing building, a 15” diameter storm outlet was extended from the
intersection of Iowa Street and 10th Street to the intersection of 11th Street
and Perry. For the proposed projects on campus, Palmer will treat and
detain site stormwater in areas of improvement to meet the requirements
of the City of Davenport Stormwater Ordinance. After meeting the
requirements, the stormwater will be outlet to the previously installed 15”
diameter sewer which will then drain to the city system. The existing
extension of the storm sewer can be seen on sheet C-10 - Site Utilities -
North.
n. The location of all existing and proposed freestanding signs, including circulation
signs.
All existing and proposed signs on campus can be seen on sheets -4 -
Overall Land Use Plan, C-5 - Land Use Plan - North, and C-6 - Land Use
Plan - South.
4.) Traffic Impact Study
Because of the nature of the Palmer Campus, with a large arterial roadway
bisecting the property, a traffic impact study has not been required for previously
submitted Campus plans. The understanding being that because there is already
such a high-volume roadway through the center of campus, the relatively minor
demand generated by the proposed changes to the Campus Master Plan will not
have a significant impact on the level of service of the existing roadways. There
are times where large events are hosted on campus where one lane of Brady
Street is blocked off to allow drop-off stacking to occur along the east side of the
street. At times when this is necessary, closure of the lane is coordinated with the
City and the DOT to ensure that all the proper permitting is completed prior to the
events. Because the changes to the campus master plan are intended to
enhance parking capacity and consolidate the space used for similar large
events, at this time no traffic impact study has been completed for the Palmer
College IC.
5.) A narrative of intent and compatibility with surrounding areas. A narrative must
be provided that describes the relationship between the institution and the
surrounding area. The narrative at a minimum must include the following:
a. Description of overall architectural and / or urban design theme.
Palmer College of Chiropractic has evolved to meet the needs of its
students and faculty as it has grown over the past 100 years; however,
the architectural theme has remained constant. Buildings and houses of
brick and stone dominate the campus, with more metal and glass
introduced into recent projects. All have an urban “academic” design
style with 2 to 4 floors of space. The campus plan and interaction with
the neighborhood has also evolved aligning the core of academic spaces
with Brady Street and residential buildings/parking at the perimeter. The
proposed Master Plan strengthens the campus edge through expanded
greenspace and landscaping at perimeter streets, buildings, and parking
lots, while enhancing the core academic spaces adjacent to Brady Street.
b. Total number of existing and proposed users and employees of the facility.
Palmer’s current enrollment on at their Davenport Campus is
approximately 1,000 students supported by 250 faculty and staff.
Approximately 270 students currently live on campus. The proposed 10-
year plan allows for an accommodation of up to 1,500 students with 400
living on campus.
c. Description of existing and proposed conditions of development along the outer
boundaries of the district and its relationship with the surrounding area.
Standards must be established to permit a compatible transition from the
institutional use to the surrounding area. Standards include, but are not limited to
building height and form, exterior lighting, landscaping, etc.
The Master Plan goals are to “create sensitive and mutually beneficial
transitions between campus and the adjacent properties.” The proposed
Campus Master Plan created by RDG Planning & Design is proposed to
create connection and comfort establishing a campus presence with the
surrounding area. New buildings are predominantly located in the center of
campus and adding enhanced lighting, fencing, and landscaping will boost
this design concept.
d. Description of existing and proposed methods of communication between the
institution and the community, including a method for resolution of community
concerns.
Palmer College has been actively involved with Hilltop Campus Village since
its inception, as well as in communication with Davenport Community
Schools and adjacent businesses regarding any campus activities and
improvements that impact the surrounding neighborhood. Although there are
no known active residential groups, Palmer proposes to open a line of
communication with the neighbors similar to their relationships with
surrounding businesses. Palmer will schedule annual meetings with the
neighborhood stakeholders and residents to present and discuss campus
planning and schedule, as well as neighbor concerns.
e. Description of any existing and proposed impacts of development and the
surrounding area and how these impacts should be mitigated. This description
shall include property outside the boundaries of the district and their interaction
with the surrounding area. Impacts include, but are not limited to lighting, noise,
parking, etc.
The developments proposed in Palmer’s Master Plan are primarily defining
and softening their campus edge through expanding green space and
landscaping. Proposed buildings will be designed to respect and
complement the existing architectural theme on campus.
f. Description of existing and proposed relationship of institutional transportation
system (auto, bus, bicycle, pedestrian) to the external street network. A
description of specific programs to reduce traffic impacts, and to encourage the
use of public transit, carpooling, bicycling, and walking.
The urban nature of this campus is reinforced by student living. 25% of
Palmer’s students live on campus and another 20% to 30% live in rented
neighborhood and downtown houses and apartments. With the addition of
the VanDuyne Student Housing Addition a large percent of the student
population walk to campus. Other students and faculty are encouraged to use
public transportation and/or car-pooling for other daily trips to campus. The
proximity of Brady Street provides more opportunity for bus access in relation
to campus buildings.

Addendum 6 - Parking Summary:
Existing Parking Conditions:
The existing number of parking spaces on Campus was determined using a combination of site visits and
reviewing aerial photos of the areas in the campus boundary. Per the City of Davenport Zoning Ordinance
17.10.050(B) – 3 – b, the on-street parking capacity was calculated using measurements of aerial photos
and dividing the available curb space by 22 feet per stall. Areas that had posted “no parking” signs were
excluded from this calculation to ensure that the existing parking stall count was as accurate as possible.
In addition to the calculated number of stalls, Palmer Security Staff completed a survey of the campus
parking areas on September 8th, 2025, to collect information about the use demand at the parking areas.
These surveys were completed roughly around 10 am and 2 pm to try to capture the peak demand at the
parking lots. The tables on the right side of sheet C-7 Existing Campus Parking Data show the total
number of stalls in each lot, the number of stalls being utilized during the AM count, and the number of
stalls utilized during the PM count. Because Palmer has year-round classes, and students are on campus
consistently, these counts can be considered representative of the regular demand in these lots.
In total, it was calculated that between the on-street and off- street parking there are 1,436 stalls
available for use within the Palmer Campus Boundary. During the AM counts, Palmer security observed
591 stalls being utilized in the off-street parking areas, and 241 on-street parking stalls in use. This
combined to a total demand of 832 parking stalls. During the PM rounds, Palmer security counted 578
off-street parking stalls in use, and 232 on-street parking stalls being used. Combining these counts,
total demand in the afternoon was 810 stalls. Utilizing the total demand for the AM & PM parking
observations, on average there are approximately 615 extra parking spaces available within the campus
footprint during peak demand hours. Consistent with observed use from previous IC parking studies, the
area of greatest demand on campus is in the north-east quadrant.
Proposed Parking Conditions:
Based on the observed demand from the campus parking counts, the future parking lots included in the
IC are strategically located in the north-east quadrant of campus. Overall, the updated campus plan
removes parking lots A and B for the proposed event center, reconstructs parking lots C, H, and F to
increase capacity, and combines parking lots G, K, and R into one large parking area. A summary of the
overall change of the parking count in the north-east quadrant of the campus can be seen in the following
table:
Removed Parking Areas
Lot Stalls
A 36
B 87
C 43
E 8
F 60 Added Parking Areas
G 78 Lot Stalls
H 25 C 70
K 61 F 155
R 64 H 42
P36 9 R 346
Total Removed = 471 Total Added = 613
The proposed campus plan adds 142 stalls in the north-east area of campus. These parking lots will
predominately serve the areas that are currently being served by the removed parking lots. Besides the
new lots in the north-east, an additional 70 stalls are proposed in the new parking lot E for the future
student housing buildings. In total, all the projects included in the latest IC will bring the total available
parking on campus to 1,630 stalls. As with the previous IC, Palmer proposes to continue to monitor
changes in demand after the completion of the additional parking lot constriction. If needed, Palmer can
implement a demand management plan to reallocate commuter traffic to underutilized lots on campus.
City Parking Requirements:
To determine how many parking stalls are required per section 17.10.040 of the city zoning ordinance,
areas of the buildings on campus were broken out based on uses defined in table 17.10-2: Off-Street
Vehicle Parking Requirements. A summary of the areas is shown in the following table.
Use Square Footage Parking Requirement Required Spaces
Dwelling - Multi-Family: Units - 204 1.5 per dwelling unit 306
Education Facility – University: 2 per classroom + 2 per office
Classrooms – 60 / Offices – 209 + 1 per 4 students of maximum 788
Maximum Enrollment – 1000 Students enrollment
Reception: 43,230 square feet GFA 1 per 300 square feet GFA 114
Indoor Recreation: 43,760 square feet GFA 1 per 500 square feet GFA 88
Outdoor Recreation: 64,000 square feet GFA 1 per 1000 square feet GFA 64
Office: 43,230 square feet GFA 1 per 500 square feet GFA 86
Total Parking Required 1,446
The buildings included in this summary are mainly focused on those that use the parking spots available
in the north-east area of campus, and not all the buildings within the campus footprint were considered.
With the addition of the proposed event center, required parking counts for the considered area will
increase by the amounts shown in the following table.
Use Square Footage Parking Requirement Required Spaces
Auditorium: Capacity - 1300 1 per 5 persons 260
Gathering / Event Space: 18,460 square feet GFA 1 per 300 square feet GFA 62
Offices: 1,320 square feet GFA 1 per 500 square feet GFA 3
Total Parking Required 325
The construction of the event center includes the removal of the existing North Hall, which leads to a
total required parking count of 1,763 stalls.
Under section 17.10.050(D) of the city zoning ordinance, required parking counts can be reduced on sites
using the shared parking calculations in table 17.10-3. The calculated shared parking requirement for the
noted campus areas can be seen in the following table.
Weekday Weekend
Land Use Category Mid. – 7:00 am – 6:00 pm – Mid. – 7:00 am – 6:00 pm –
7:00am 6:00 pm Mid. 7:00 am 6:00 pm Mid.

Institutional – Education Facility 0 788 394 0 0 0
Institutional – Place of Worship - - - - - -
Totals 311 1,273 837 313 434 371
Based on this calculation, the total required count for the buildings in the area under consideration is
reduced from 1,446 stalls to 1,273 stalls. Though this number is closer to the apparent observed
demand, it is still higher than what we believe will be necessary to service the campus. This is mainly
due to the fact that the event center’s highest demand for parking will occur during large events on
campus such as graduation ceremonies. When these events are being held, other activities on campus
that drive demand, such as classes and clinics, will not be happening. Removing the required stall
counts for the offices and educational facilities that will not be in use during large events further reduces
the total count by 531 stalls. In conjunction with the total number from the shared parking calculation, the
reduced required parking amount to service the buildings in the north-east area of campus is 742 stalls.
This number is much closer to what we believe is the actual demand for the proposed campus facilities
and is able to be serviced between the existing and proposed projects.
Parking Ratios:
The parking ratios were calculated by dividing the total number of parking spaces on campus by the total
square footage of the buildings and structures on campus and multiplying the result by 1000. This final
calculated number gives an indication of how many parking stalls are available per 1000 square feet of
building within the campus footprint.
1436 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠
Existing Parking Ratio - 𝑃𝑅𝐸 = × 1000 = 4.50 stalls/1000 ft2
319,295 𝑓𝑡 2
1630 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠
Proposed Parking Ratio - 𝑃𝑅𝑃 = × 1000 = 4.54 stalls/1000 ft2
359,370 𝑓𝑡 2
As these numbers show, when comparing existing campus conditions to proposed campus conditions,
there is essentially no change in the overall number of stalls available per 1000 square feet of building
space. This consistent parking ratio aligns with the design team’s expectation that the proposed
improvements will not reduce the overall parking conditions on Campus.

Palmer Community Organization Communication Timeline
In alignment with the Institutional Campus – Major Amendment Requirements laid
out in the City of Davenport zoning ordinance, Palmer College sent a letter to the identified
community organizations near their campus 60 days prior to their intent to submit the
Formal IC amendment application. The community organizations that were contacted,
and the contacts that were used include:
Vera French -
Tapestry Farms -
TMBC at the Lincoln Center -
7th Judicial District -
Halligan Coffee Lofts -
Livery Lots & Hibernian Hall -
St. Anthony Catholic Church -
Hilltop Campus Village -
The first letter to community organizations was sent on August 22nd, 2025 by email.
As the campus design was further developed, it was determined that additional time was
needed to analyze options for the campus, so an additional letter was sent to the
community organizations on October 22nd, 2025. This letter outlined that the IC
amendment would be submitted to the city of Davenport on December 11th, 2025, which is
when the documents were sent to city staff.
Prior to the submittal of the IC documents, Palmer hosted an open house for the
community organizations on campus on December 9th, 2025 to present the updated
campus plan and field any questions. Of the invited organizations, Biran Kramer with the
Hilltop Campus Village and City of Davenport staff were the only attendees. At that time,
support of the plan was indicated, but no questions were posed of the college.
All letters that were sent to community organizations are attached to this outline. The
same presentation that was given at the initial open house will be used at the community
meeting being hosted on Campus.
August 22, 2025
To Our Neighbors,
We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to inform you that Palmer College of Chiropractic will be
participating in the city of Davenport’s Institutional Campus (IC) amendment process. This process is part
of the city’s planning and zoning procedures for institutions operating in campus-style settings, such as
schools, religious institutions or community-service organizations.
Our participation in this process reflects our commitment to responsible planning and long-term service to
our students and the Davenport community. As part of this effort, we will propose updates and
improvements to our campus that align with our mission and the City's goals for institutional development.
A draft of the updated campus plan can be seen below. These changes are only initial and may be modified
before the amendment is submitted to the city. This letter is an early step in the larger IC-amendment
process, and no immediate changes are being implemented at this time. The College plans to submit its
formal application to the City on Oct. 23, 2025.
The city’s review process includes multiple opportunities for public input, and we welcome your thoughts or
questions should you wish to be involved. Prior to the Oct. 23 submittal date, Palmer will host an open
house on campus to review the changes to the campus plan and address any initial questions. We will
send another letter specifying the date of the open house once space on the campus has been reserved for
the event. If you would like additional information or have questions about our plans before the open house,
please feel free to contact us at 563-884-5294 or james.oconnor@palmer.edu. All communication will be
recorded and relayed to the city as part of the IC process.
Thank you for your attention and for being part of our neighborhood. We value your support and look
forward to continuing to serve the community together.
Warm regards,
James O’Connor
Vice Chancellor for Marketing

October 22, 2025
To Our Neighbors,
We hope this message finds you well.
We’re writing to provide an update regarding Palmer College of Chiropractic’s participation in the City of
Davenport’s Institutional Campus (IC) amendment process. As noted in our Aug. 22 letter, this process is
part of the City’s planning and zoning review for institutions such as schools, religious organizations, and
community service entities that operate within a campus setting.
Since our initial communication, the College has continued refining its proposed updates to the campus
plan to ensure alignment with both our long-term goals and the City’s planning objectives. As we
progressed through these updates, it was determined that additional time was needed to ensure that the
submitted plan delivered the best campus layout to all interested parties. To allow additional time for this
review and coordination, the College will be delaying the submittal of its IC amendment application to
the City of Davenport until Dec. 11, 2025.
We appreciate your understanding and continued interest in this process. The College remains committed
to transparency and community engagement as we move forward. An open house will still be held on
campus prior to the new submittal date, providing an opportunity for our neighbors to review the proposed
plan and share feedback. We will send a follow-up notice once the date and location for that open house
have been confirmed.
If you have any questions or would like additional information in the meantime, please contact us at 563-
884-5294 or james.oconnor@palmer.edu. As before, all communications will be recorded and shared with
the City as part of the IC amendment process.
Thank you again for your ongoing partnership and support as we continue to plan responsibly for the future
of our campus and community.
Sincerely,
James O’Connor
Vice Chancellor for Marketing & Communication

To Our Neighborhood Partners,
I’m writing to follow up on our previous message of October 22, 2025, about Palmer College’s
involvement in Davenport’s Institutional Campus (IC) amendment process. We are reaching out
to provide an update and invite you to continue our dialogue. The College has been carefully
refining proposed changes to our campus plan to ensure they support both our long-term vision
and the City’s goals. As mentioned earlier, our IC amendment application is scheduled to be
submitted to the city on December 11, 2025.
In keeping with our commitment to transparency and collaboration, we would like to invite
representatives from neighborhood organizations to an on-campus meeting to review the
revised plan, ask questions, and share feedback. This meeting will serve as the open house
referenced in our earlier letter.
Neighborhood Meeting
Date: Tuesday, December 9, 2025
Time: 4 p.m.
Location: Palmer College of Chiropractic, 1000 Brady Street, Davenport, Iowa 52803. The
meeting will be held in the Welcome Center Conference Room of the Bechtel Center
immediately south of the Visitor’s Parking Lot.
Palmer leadership and project consultants will present the changes and answer any questions.
All communication will be documented and shared with the city as required.
Your input helps us create a campus plan that benefits both Palmer College and the community.
For questions or further details, contact us at 563-884-5726 or jillian.mccleary@palmer.edu.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

Davenport Planning & Zoning Commission
226 West 4th Street
Davenport, Iowa 52801
Dear Sir or Madam:
I represent Jana Saad Investments LLC, which owns the property at 1129 Brady St, Davenport,
Iowa. The premises is operated as a furniture store, which does business as Brady Furniture. As a
neighboring property owner, my client has an interest in the applications filed by Palmer College
of Chiropractic (“Palmer”) as Case Nos. ORD26-01, REZ26-01, ROW26-01, and ROW26-02,
which are scheduled to be considered by this Commission at its meeting on February 3, 2026.
My client objects to Palmer’s application to vacate Palmer Drive and a portion of the adjoining
alleyway. This specifically pertains to Case Nos. ORD26-01 and ROW26-01.
My client currently has one to two furniture deliveries per week to its furniture store. These
deliveries are either made in 26-foot delivery trucks or in 53-foot semi-trailers. When the deliveries
are made in 26-foot delivery trucks, the trucks routinely drive onto Palmer Drive, then drive north
onto the alley behind my client’s store in order to make their deliveries. When the delivery is
completed, the trucks proceed north onto E. 12th St.
Palmer’s application to vacate Palmer Drive and a portion of the adjoining alleyway significantly
frustrates my client’s business. It is quite clear that the vacation of Palmer Drive and proposed
roundabout would prevent delivery trucks from using the alleyway in the same manner that they
do now. If these changes are made, my client will have to require the delivery trucks to back up
on Brady Street in order to park next to Brady Furniture’s building. This is what the 53-foot semi-
trailers currently do because they are too large for the alleyway.
An increase in the number of trucks backing up on Brady Street is not in the public interest. The
semi-trailers that currently have to back up on Brady Street already block multiple lanes of Brady
Street. In doing so, they encounter annoyed drivers, and there have been incidents of drivers
attempting to go around the trucks in a dangerous manner. Also, backing a truck up on the street
is less safe for pedestrians, including Brady Furniture’s customers, compared to driving a truck
straight through the alley. If the 26-foot delivery trucks are required to back up on Brady Street
similar to the 53-foot semi-trailers, these problems will increase.
The only parking for Brady Furniture’s customers is next to the store, and these customers often
use the alleyway behind the store to come and go. Additionally, Gio’s Barber Shop, which is
located next to Brady Furntire, has its customers park in the back of its shop, off the alleyway. The
loss of Palmer Drive and part of the alleyway to access these businesses will frustrate these
customers and harm the businesses.
For these reasons, Palmer Drive and the adjoining alleyway are still being used by the public and
should not be vacated. Palmer’s application to vacate these rights-of-way fails to “minimize[e] the
adverse impacts associated with development and geographic expansion,” and it further fails to
“protect[] the livability and vitality of adjacent areas.” See Davenport Municipal Code § 17.07.030.
Lastly, the increase in trucks backing up on Brady Street would increase danger for pedestrians
and drivers.
My client respectfully requests that this Commission deny Palmer’s application to vacate these
rights-of-way.
Very truly yours,
BROOKS LAW FIRM, P.C.

City of Davenport
Department: Development & Neighborhood Services Action / Date
Contact Info: Laura Berkley | 563-888-3553 3/18/2026
Subject:
Second Consideration: Ordinance for Case REZ26-01 being the request of Palmer College of
Chiropractic to rezone 208 East 11th Street, 1111 Perry Street, 725 Perry Street, 727 Perry
Street, 739 Perry Street, and 822 Pershing Avenue from R-MF Multi-Family Residential District
and R-4C Single-Family and Two-Family Central Residential District to IC Institutional Campus
District. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Consider the Ordinance.
Background:
This request proposes rezoning the properties at 208 East 11th Street, 1111 Perry Street, 725
Perry Street, 727 Perry Street, 739 Perry Street, and 822 Pershing Avenue from R-MF Multi-
Family Residential District and R-4C Single-Family and Two-Family Central Residential District to
IC Institutional Campus District. As shown in the Campus Master Plan, these parcels function as
part of the institutional campus and serve as student housing. The rezoning aligns zoning
regulations with the amended Campus Land Use Plan boundary and supports coordinated
campus development.
Why is a Zoning Map Amendment Required?
A Zoning Map Amendment is necessary to ensure consistency between the City’s zoning
regulations, the adopted Campus Master Plan, and the long-term institutional use of the subject
properties. Since approval of the Campus Master Plan in 2021, Palmer College has acquired six
properties directly adjacent to the existing campus that remain zoned under designations
intended for non-institutional uses.
Rezoning these parcels to the IC Institutional Campus District will formally incorporate them
into the Campus Land Use Plan boundary and apply zoning standards specifically tailored to
coordinated campus development. This action supports implementation of the adopted Master
Plan, promotes unified site planning and circulation, and ensures future development is
regulated under a district that reflects the properties’ functional relationship to the campus. The
amendment also advances Comprehensive Plan goals related to institutional stability,
reinvestment, and orderly land use transitions by aligning zoning with the established and
planned use of the area.
Plan & Zoning Commission Recommendation
At its February 17, 2026, meeting, the City Plan and Zoning Commission voted to forward Case
REZ26-01 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval subject to the listed findings.
Findings
1. The zoning map amendment is consistent with the Davenport +2035 Land Use Plan,
which identifies the properties as 'Residential General'.
2. The proposed zoning map amendment to IC Institutional Campus District is appropriate
for an ancillary use of an 'Educational Facility-University or College'.
3. The zoning map amendment and submitted land use plan are compatible with the
established institutional and residential character of the area.
4. The proposed IC Institutional Campus District appropriately reflects the properties’ land

Major Amendment Description
December 26th, 2025
Reason for Major Modification to IC
As part of Palmer College’s mission to continue to provide a world-class education to the
chiropractors of the future, we are constantly evaluating our campus to try to provide the best
facilities possible for our students, staff, and patients. During the most recent round of the
campus reviews, several areas of focus were identified for improvement in the campus footprint.
These updates include improvements to the main campus entrance off Brady Street, plans for a
new academic facility called the Palmer Forum, enhancements to parking, improved traffic flow
and wayfinding, and expanded green space and outdoor study areas. The plan also prioritizes
improved traffic safety along Perry Street and identifies potential sites for future student
housing. Together, these changes will strengthen the campus experience for students, staff,
and visitors alike.
The major amendments included in this submittal are:
1. The addition of properties to the campus footprint.
a. Proposed changes to the campus boundary incorporate properties adjacent to the
current boundary that have been acquired by Palmer College since the last Campus
Master Plan was approved in 2021. Properties that are being incorporated into the IC
footprint include:
i. 1111 Perry Street
ii. 208 E 11th Street
iii. 822 Pershing Ave
iv. 739 Perry Street (The Roslyn)
v. 727 Perry Street
vi. 725 Perry Street
2. The removal of the previously proposed mixed-use development east of Brady Street, North
of Palmer Drive.
a. The latest approved IC included a mixed-use development in the northern vicinity of
the campus. When evaluating the plans for the development of the campus over the
next 10 years, this property was not a priority. Palmer is removing the proposed
development and showing the underlying properties as they currently exist in the
future campus plan.
3. Vacation of Palmer Drive Right of Way and the revisions to the layout and use of the
previous Palmer Drive Right of Way.
a. One of the main focuses to come out of the review of the campus plan was the
desire to develop a well-defined main campus entrance off Brady Street at the
existing Palmer Drive location. The currently approved IC includes the closure of the
east half of Palmer Drive with traffic being directed to the north to the alleyway
between Brady Street and Perry Street. The updated campus plan proposes a
similar layout, with some key changes. The east half of the vacated Palmer Drive
will be changed to a pedestrian corridor, similar to the pedestrian corridor that was
constructed on 11th Street. This pedestrian area will be designed to allow emergency
services access through the area if necessary. The west half of Palmer Drive will be
converted from a one-way road to a campus entrance. This entrance will allow drop-
off near the campus center, have a roundabout to maintain access to the alleyway
north of the road, and will have a new drive from the Palmer campus back onto
Brady Street. This proposed layout has received preliminary approval from the Iowa
DOT, and the drive will also be designed for emergency services access. Palmer
would also like to use bricks that are salvaged from under the existing Palmer Drive
Right of Way in the design of the new drive and walkway pavement sections.
4. Adding the Palmer Forum and associated outdoor plaza area.
a. Another area of emphasis that came out of the latest campus review was the need
for an academic space that could also act as a gathering space for large
presentations or celebrations. Multiple areas of campus were investigated to find the
most appropriate location for this space, and it was ultimately determined that a
central campus location north of the Bechtel center was the best fit. This new
building, the Palmer Forum, is intended to be flexible enough to host large and small
classes, as well as graduation and speaker presentations. Adjacent to the proposed
Palmer Forum, the new campus master plan includes an enhanced greenspace and
outdoor study area. This area will be similar to other outdoor study spaces on
campus such as the Keller Terrace, the Clinic Gardens, and the VanDuyne Hall
courtyard.
5. Removing the previously approved closure of the west half of 9th street between Perry Street
and Pershing Street.
a. After evaluating traffic circulation patterns throughout the campus and discussing
access with city emergency services personnel, it was determined that the benefits
from the closure of this portion of 9th street would be outweighed by the impact on
emergency access to the surrounding community. Because of this, Palmer is
removing this proposed closure from the campus master plan.
6. Improved traffic safety features along Perry Street between 12th street and 9th Street.
a. As part of the new campus master plan, Palmer is anticipating an increase in the
pedestrian circulation in the center of campus. This area generally includes the 11th
street pedestrian corridor, the VanDuyne Student housing courtyard, the proposed
Palmer Drive pedestrian corridor, and the proposed Palmer Forum outdoor plaza.
Though these areas are close in proximity, they are generally bisected by the Perry
Street Right of Way. In order to encourage safe vehicular / pedestrian interactions in
this area and to minimize the risk of any accidents occurring, Palmer is proposing
three traffic calming bump outs along Perry Street between 12th street and 9th street.
These bump outs would help consolidate pedestrian crossings on Perry Street while
also slowing traffic as it passes through the center of the Palmer Campus.
7. Removing the previously approved partial closure of 8th Street between Main Street and
Brady Street.
a. With the addition of the proposed student housing and parking lots south of 8th street,
the college determined that it would be more beneficial to have increased
accessibility between Main Street and Brady Street than to continue the plan to close
the west half of 8th Street. Because of this, the college is removing the proposed
closure of 8th street from their campus master plan.
8. Adding sites for future student housing buildings east of Main Street.
a. Due to the success of the VanDuyne student housing building, Palmer college
determined that there is a sufficient desire for additional student housing within the
campus footprint. To meet this demand, two student housing buildings as well as
associated parking lots are being shown in the empty lot east of Main Street. These
structures were shown in previous versions of the campus master plan but were
removed with the latest approved IC when VanDuyne hall was added. The college
believes that within the next 10 years there will be sufficient demand for on-campus
housing to support the additional proposed units.
9. Removing the partial closure of 7th street between Main Street and Brady Street.
a. With the addition of the proposed student housing and parking lots north of 7th street,
the college determined that it would be more beneficial to have increased
accessibility between Main Street and Brady Street than to continue the plan for the
partial closures at both ends of 7th street. Because of this, the college is removing the
proposed closure of 7th street from the campus master plan.

Use Plan - South. Proposed road closures can be seen on the sheets
showing the final campus layout. To help enhance the pedestrian and
bicycle circulation through the center of Campus, the proposed plan
includes the conversion of the east half of Palmer Drive to an enhanced
pedestrian corridor. This pedestrian corridor will be designed in a way to
maintain emergency service access through the existing Palmer Drive
R.O.W. In addition to this, Palmer is proposing three traffic calming bump
outs along Perry Street between 9th street and 12th street. These bump
outs will allow for safter Pedestrian circulation between the center of
campus where the Palmer Forum will be located and the east end of
campus where the VanDuyne student housing and turf recreation field is
located.
m. Storm water management plan.
Currently there is very limited public storm sewer in any area of the
Palmer Campus. As part of the construction of the VanDuyne Student
housing building, a 15” diameter storm outlet was extended from the
intersection of Iowa Street and 10th Street to the intersection of 11th Street
and Perry. For the proposed projects on campus, Palmer will treat and
detain site stormwater in areas of improvement to meet the requirements
of the City of Davenport Stormwater Ordinance. After meeting the
requirements, the stormwater will be outlet to the previously installed 15”
diameter sewer which will then drain to the city system. The existing
extension of the storm sewer can be seen on sheet C-10 - Site Utilities -
North.
n. The location of all existing and proposed freestanding signs, including circulation
signs.
All existing and proposed signs on campus can be seen on sheets -4 -
Overall Land Use Plan, C-5 - Land Use Plan - North, and C-6 - Land Use
Plan - South.
4.) Traffic Impact Study
Because of the nature of the Palmer Campus, with a large arterial roadway
bisecting the property, a traffic impact study has not been required for previously
submitted Campus plans. The understanding being that because there is already
such a high-volume roadway through the center of campus, the relatively minor
demand generated by the proposed changes to the Campus Master Plan will not
have a significant impact on the level of service of the existing roadways. There
are times where large events are hosted on campus where one lane of Brady
Street is blocked off to allow drop-off stacking to occur along the east side of the
street. At times when this is necessary, closure of the lane is coordinated with the
City and the DOT to ensure that all the proper permitting is completed prior to the
events. Because the changes to the campus master plan are intended to
enhance parking capacity and consolidate the space used for similar large
events, at this time no traffic impact study has been completed for the Palmer
College IC.
5.) A narrative of intent and compatibility with surrounding areas. A narrative must
be provided that describes the relationship between the institution and the
surrounding area. The narrative at a minimum must include the following:
a. Description of overall architectural and / or urban design theme.
Palmer College of Chiropractic has evolved to meet the needs of its
students and faculty as it has grown over the past 100 years; however,
the architectural theme has remained constant. Buildings and houses of
brick and stone dominate the campus, with more metal and glass
introduced into recent projects. All have an urban “academic” design
style with 2 to 4 floors of space. The campus plan and interaction with
the neighborhood has also evolved aligning the core of academic spaces
with Brady Street and residential buildings/parking at the perimeter. The
proposed Master Plan strengthens the campus edge through expanded
greenspace and landscaping at perimeter streets, buildings, and parking
lots, while enhancing the core academic spaces adjacent to Brady Street.
b. Total number of existing and proposed users and employees of the facility.
Palmer’s current enrollment on at their Davenport Campus is
approximately 1,000 students supported by 250 faculty and staff.
Approximately 270 students currently live on campus. The proposed 10-
year plan allows for an accommodation of up to 1,500 students with 400
living on campus.
c. Description of existing and proposed conditions of development along the outer
boundaries of the district and its relationship with the surrounding area.
Standards must be established to permit a compatible transition from the
institutional use to the surrounding area. Standards include, but are not limited to
building height and form, exterior lighting, landscaping, etc.
The Master Plan goals are to “create sensitive and mutually beneficial
transitions between campus and the adjacent properties.” The proposed
Campus Master Plan created by RDG Planning & Design is proposed to
create connection and comfort establishing a campus presence with the
surrounding area. New buildings are predominantly located in the center of
campus and adding enhanced lighting, fencing, and landscaping will boost
this design concept.
d. Description of existing and proposed methods of communication between the
institution and the community, including a method for resolution of community
concerns.
Palmer College has been actively involved with Hilltop Campus Village since
its inception, as well as in communication with Davenport Community
Schools and adjacent businesses regarding any campus activities and
improvements that impact the surrounding neighborhood. Although there are
no known active residential groups, Palmer proposes to open a line of
communication with the neighbors similar to their relationships with
surrounding businesses. Palmer will schedule annual meetings with the
neighborhood stakeholders and residents to present and discuss campus
planning and schedule, as well as neighbor concerns.
e. Description of any existing and proposed impacts of development and the
surrounding area and how these impacts should be mitigated. This description
shall include property outside the boundaries of the district and their interaction
with the surrounding area. Impacts include, but are not limited to lighting, noise,
parking, etc.
The developments proposed in Palmer’s Master Plan are primarily defining
and softening their campus edge through expanding green space and
landscaping. Proposed buildings will be designed to respect and
complement the existing architectural theme on campus.
f. Description of existing and proposed relationship of institutional transportation
system (auto, bus, bicycle, pedestrian) to the external street network. A
description of specific programs to reduce traffic impacts, and to encourage the
use of public transit, carpooling, bicycling, and walking.
The urban nature of this campus is reinforced by student living. 25% of
Palmer’s students live on campus and another 20% to 30% live in rented
neighborhood and downtown houses and apartments. With the addition of
the VanDuyne Student Housing Addition a large percent of the student
population walk to campus. Other students and faculty are encouraged to use
public transportation and/or car-pooling for other daily trips to campus. The
proximity of Brady Street provides more opportunity for bus access in relation
to campus buildings.

Addendum 6 - Parking Summary:
Existing Parking Conditions:
The existing number of parking spaces on Campus was determined using a combination of site visits and
reviewing aerial photos of the areas in the campus boundary. Per the City of Davenport Zoning Ordinance
17.10.050(B) – 3 – b, the on-street parking capacity was calculated using measurements of aerial photos
and dividing the available curb space by 22 feet per stall. Areas that had posted “no parking” signs were
excluded from this calculation to ensure that the existing parking stall count was as accurate as possible.
In addition to the calculated number of stalls, Palmer Security Staff completed a survey of the campus
parking areas on September 8th, 2025, to collect information about the use demand at the parking areas.
These surveys were completed roughly around 10 am and 2 pm to try to capture the peak demand at the
parking lots. The tables on the right side of sheet C-7 Existing Campus Parking Data show the total
number of stalls in each lot, the number of stalls being utilized during the AM count, and the number of
stalls utilized during the PM count. Because Palmer has year-round classes, and students are on campus
consistently, these counts can be considered representative of the regular demand in these lots.
In total, it was calculated that between the on-street and off- street parking there are 1,436 stalls
available for use within the Palmer Campus Boundary. During the AM counts, Palmer security observed
591 stalls being utilized in the off-street parking areas, and 241 on-street parking stalls in use. This
combined to a total demand of 832 parking stalls. During the PM rounds, Palmer security counted 578
off-street parking stalls in use, and 232 on-street parking stalls being used. Combining these counts,
total demand in the afternoon was 810 stalls. Utilizing the total demand for the AM & PM parking
observations, on average there are approximately 615 extra parking spaces available within the campus
footprint during peak demand hours. Consistent with observed use from previous IC parking studies, the
area of greatest demand on campus is in the north-east quadrant.
Proposed Parking Conditions:
Based on the observed demand from the campus parking counts, the future parking lots included in the
IC are strategically located in the north-east quadrant of campus. Overall, the updated campus plan
removes parking lots A and B for the proposed event center, reconstructs parking lots C, H, and F to
increase capacity, and combines parking lots G, K, and R into one large parking area. A summary of the
overall change of the parking count in the north-east quadrant of the campus can be seen in the following
table:
Removed Parking Areas
Lot Stalls
A 36
B 87
C 43
E 8
F 60 Added Parking Areas
G 78 Lot Stalls
H 25 C 70
K 61 F 155
R 64 H 42
P36 9 R 346
Total Removed = 471 Total Added = 613
The proposed campus plan adds 142 stalls in the north-east area of campus. These parking lots will
predominately serve the areas that are currently being served by the removed parking lots. Besides the
new lots in the north-east, an additional 70 stalls are proposed in the new parking lot E for the future
student housing buildings. In total, all the projects included in the latest IC will bring the total available
parking on campus to 1,630 stalls. As with the previous IC, Palmer proposes to continue to monitor
changes in demand after the completion of the additional parking lot constriction. If needed, Palmer can
implement a demand management plan to reallocate commuter traffic to underutilized lots on campus.
City Parking Requirements:
To determine how many parking stalls are required per section 17.10.040 of the city zoning ordinance,
areas of the buildings on campus were broken out based on uses defined in table 17.10-2: Off-Street
Vehicle Parking Requirements. A summary of the areas is shown in the following table.
Use Square Footage Parking Requirement Required Spaces
Dwelling - Multi-Family: Units - 204 1.5 per dwelling unit 306
Education Facility – University: 2 per classroom + 2 per office
Classrooms – 60 / Offices – 209 + 1 per 4 students of maximum 788
Maximum Enrollment – 1000 Students enrollment
Reception: 43,230 square feet GFA 1 per 300 square feet GFA 114
Indoor Recreation: 43,760 square feet GFA 1 per 500 square feet GFA 88
Outdoor Recreation: 64,000 square feet GFA 1 per 1000 square feet GFA 64
Office: 43,230 square feet GFA 1 per 500 square feet GFA 86
Total Parking Required 1,446
The buildings included in this summary are mainly focused on those that use the parking spots available
in the north-east area of campus, and not all the buildings within the campus footprint were considered.
With the addition of the proposed event center, required parking counts for the considered area will
increase by the amounts shown in the following table.
Use Square Footage Parking Requirement Required Spaces
Auditorium: Capacity - 1300 1 per 5 persons 260
Gathering / Event Space: 18,460 square feet GFA 1 per 300 square feet GFA 62
Offices: 1,320 square feet GFA 1 per 500 square feet GFA 3
Total Parking Required 325
The construction of the event center includes the removal of the existing North Hall, which leads to a
total required parking count of 1,763 stalls.
Under section 17.10.050(D) of the city zoning ordinance, required parking counts can be reduced on sites
using the shared parking calculations in table 17.10-3. The calculated shared parking requirement for the
noted campus areas can be seen in the following table.
Weekday Weekend
Land Use Category Mid. – 7:00 am – 6:00 pm – Mid. – 7:00 am – 6:00 pm –
7:00am 6:00 pm Mid. 7:00 am 6:00 pm Mid.
Residential 306 306 306 306 306 230

Institutional – Education Facility 0 788 394 0 0 0
Institutional – Place of Worship - - - - - -
Totals 311 1,273 837 313 434 371
Based on this calculation, the total required count for the buildings in the area under consideration is
reduced from 1,446 stalls to 1,273 stalls. Though this number is closer to the apparent observed
demand, it is still higher than what we believe will be necessary to service the campus. This is mainly
due to the fact that the event center’s highest demand for parking will occur during large events on
campus such as graduation ceremonies. When these events are being held, other activities on campus
that drive demand, such as classes and clinics, will not be happening. Removing the required stall
counts for the offices and educational facilities that will not be in use during large events further reduces
the total count by 531 stalls. In conjunction with the total number from the shared parking calculation, the
reduced required parking amount to service the buildings in the north-east area of campus is 742 stalls.
This number is much closer to what we believe is the actual demand for the proposed campus facilities
and is able to be serviced between the existing and proposed projects.
Parking Ratios:
The parking ratios were calculated by dividing the total number of parking spaces on campus by the total
square footage of the buildings and structures on campus and multiplying the result by 1000. This final
calculated number gives an indication of how many parking stalls are available per 1000 square feet of
building within the campus footprint.
1436 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠
Existing Parking Ratio - 𝑃𝑅𝐸 = × 1000 = 4.50 stalls/1000 ft2
319,295 𝑓𝑡 2
1630 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑠
Proposed Parking Ratio - 𝑃𝑅𝑃 = × 1000 = 4.54 stalls/1000 ft2
359,370 𝑓𝑡 2
As these numbers show, when comparing existing campus conditions to proposed campus conditions,
there is essentially no change in the overall number of stalls available per 1000 square feet of building
space. This consistent parking ratio aligns with the design team’s expectation that the proposed
improvements will not reduce the overall parking conditions on Campus.

Subject:
Second Consideration: Ordinance for Case ROW26-01 being the request of Palmer College of
Chiropractic to vacate Palmer Drive, between Brady Street and Perry Street, and the southern
60 feet of the 20-foot-wide alley right-of-way located in Outlot 20 of LeClaire’s 2nd Addition.
[Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Consider the Ordinance.
Background:
Palmer College of Chiropractic is requesting the vacation of Palmer Drive between Brady Street
and Perry Street, along with a portion of the mid-block alley located immediately north of
Palmer Drive. The proposed vacation would allow for the construction of a new private drive
that will function as the primary vehicular entrance to the campus.
The proposed design includes a roundabout that will direct vehicles either north to an expanded
parking area or back onto Brady Street. Vehicular access between Brady Street and Perry Street
would be limited to emergency vehicles only. The eastern portion of Palmer Drive is proposed to
be repurposed as a pedestrian pathway, providing improved connectivity between the campus
core and VanDuyne Hall.
This request is part of a broader campus beautification initiative intended to enhance visitor
circulation and campus functionality, and to provide improved access to the new academic
building, enhanced greenspace, and expanded parking facilities. The closure of Palmer Drive
was previously identified and approved as part of Palmer College’s Campus Master Plan in 2021.
Subject Right-Of-Ways
A legal description and plat has been submitted for review. The total area for the proposed
vacation is approximately 13,889 square feet (.32 acres).
1. Palmer Drive is approximately 40 feet wide by 317 feet in length, or 12,689 square feet.
Palmer Drive is a one-way street directing vehicles eastbound. On-street parking is only
permitted on the north side of the roadway, which is approximately 25 feet in width
from back-of-curb to back-of-curb.
2. The mid-block alley right of way is approximately 20 feet wide by 60 feet in length, or
1,200 square feet. The condition of the alley pavement is poor. There are overhead
utility poles and wires extending through the alley, north to 12th Street.
The vacation of public right-of-way is a two-step process:
1. Determine if the right-of-way is needed for public purposes.
2. Negotiate and determine terms of conveyance to adjacent property owners. (No Plan
and Zoning Commission action is required.)
Plan and Zoning Commission Recommendation
At its February 17, 2026, meeting, the City Plan and Zoning Commission voted to forward Case
ROW26-01 to the City Council with a recommendation for approval subject to the listed findings
and conditions:
Findings
1. Palmer Drive does not conform to the City’s adopted roadway design standards and
does not meet the required cross-sectional and construction specifications.
2. Permanent utility easements are required to ensure continued access to and
maintenance of existing and relocated utility infrastructure.
3. Ingress and egress easements are necessary to preserve functional vehicular circulation
from Brady Street to the alley from Palmer Drive, thereby maintaining site connectivity
despite the reduction in public right-of-way.
4. Permanent ingress and egress easements are necessary to preserve emergency
vehicular connectivity between Brady Street and Perry Street.
Conditions
1. Upon vacation of the subject right-of-way, the land shall continue to function in its
current state until the conveyance process is completed.
2. The applicant shall record permanent utility easements to ensure continued access to,
and maintenance of, existing and relocated utility infrastructure.
3. The applicant shall record permanent ingress/egress easements preserving vehicular
connectivity between Brady Street and the north-south alley. The easements shall
provide adequate width and maintain unobstructed access to serve the properties
located along Brady Street.
4. The applicant shall record permanent ingress/egress easements preserving vehicular
connectivity between Brady Street and Perry Street. The easements shall be of sufficient
width and design to provide unobstructed access capable of accommodating emergency
response vehicles.
5. To the greatest extent practicable, any historic or existing brick materials uncovered
during road construction activities shall be salvaged and provided to the City.

Thomas R. Schirman, Jr.

February 2, 2026
Davenport Planning & Zoning Commission
226 West 4th Street
Davenport, Iowa 52801
Dear Sir or Madam:
I represent Jana Saad Investments LLC, which owns the property at 1129 Brady St, Davenport,
Iowa. The premises is operated as a furniture store, which does business as Brady Furniture. As a
neighboring property owner, my client has an interest in the applications filed by Palmer College
of Chiropractic (“Palmer”) as Case Nos. ORD26-01, REZ26-01, ROW26-01, and ROW26-02,
which are scheduled to be considered by this Commission at its meeting on February 3, 2026.
My client objects to Palmer’s application to vacate Palmer Drive and a portion of the adjoining
alleyway. This specifically pertains to Case Nos. ORD26-01 and ROW26-01.
My client currently has one to two furniture deliveries per week to its furniture store. These
deliveries are either made in 26-foot delivery trucks or in 53-foot semi-trailers. When the deliveries
are made in 26-foot delivery trucks, the trucks routinely drive onto Palmer Drive, then drive north
onto the alley behind my client’s store in order to make their deliveries. When the delivery is
completed, the trucks proceed north onto E. 12th St.
Palmer’s application to vacate Palmer Drive and a portion of the adjoining alleyway significantly
frustrates my client’s business. It is quite clear that the vacation of Palmer Drive and proposed
roundabout would prevent delivery trucks from using the alleyway in the same manner that they
do now. If these changes are made, my client will have to require the delivery trucks to back up
on Brady Street in order to park next to Brady Furniture’s building. This is what the 53-foot semi-
trailers currently do because they are too large for the alleyway.
An increase in the number of trucks backing up on Brady Street is not in the public interest. The
semi-trailers that currently have to back up on Brady Street already block multiple lanes of Brady
Street. In doing so, they encounter annoyed drivers, and there have been incidents of drivers
attempting to go around the trucks in a dangerous manner. Also, backing a truck up on the street
is less safe for pedestrians, including Brady Furniture’s customers, compared to driving a truck
straight through the alley. If the 26-foot delivery trucks are required to back up on Brady Street
similar to the 53-foot semi-trailers, these problems will increase.
The only parking for Brady Furniture’s customers is next to the store, and these customers often
use the alleyway behind the store to come and go. Additionally, Gio’s Barber Shop, which is
located next to Brady Furntire, has its customers park in the back of its shop, off the alleyway. The
loss of Palmer Drive and part of the alleyway to access these businesses will frustrate these
customers and harm the businesses.
For these reasons, Palmer Drive and the adjoining alleyway are still being used by the public and
should not be vacated. Palmer’s application to vacate these rights-of-way fails to “minimize[e] the
adverse impacts associated with development and geographic expansion,” and it further fails to
“protect[] the livability and vitality of adjacent areas.” See Davenport Municipal Code § 17.07.030.
Lastly, the increase in trucks backing up on Brady Street would increase danger for pedestrians
and drivers.
My client respectfully requests that this Commission deny Palmer’s application to vacate these
rights-of-way.
Very truly yours,
BROOKS LAW FIRM, P.C.

Subject:
Second Consideration: Ordinance for Case ROW26-02 being the request of Palmer College of
Chiropractic to vacate East 10th Street between Perry Street and Pershing Avenue and the
adjacent public alley rights-of-way located north and south of East 10th Street in Outlots 30 and
31 of LeClaire’s 2nd Addition. [Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Consider the Ordinance.
Background:
This request seeks to vacate East 10th Street between Perry Street and Pershing Avenue, as
well as the mid-block public alley rights-of-way located to the north and south. As illustrated in
the Campus Master Plan, this area will be converted into additional off-street parking.
Easements would ensure the continued movement of vehicles between Perry Street and
Pershing Avenue. The vacation of this right-of-way would support the increased parking
demand generated by the new academic building and event facility.
The closure of 10th Street was previously identified and approved as part of Palmer College’s
Campus Master Plan in 2021. This request is therefore consistent with the already approved
plan and represents an implementation step rather than a new policy direction.
Subject Rights-Of-Way
A legal description and plat has been submitted for review. The total area for the proposed
vacation is approximately 15,225 square feet (.35 acres).
1. East 10th Street is approximately 20 feet wide by 321.2 feet in length, or 6,424 square
feet. There is no on-street parking, as the pavement width is approximately 16 feet in
width from back-of-curb to back-of-curb. 10th Street facilitates two-way traffic.
2. The mid-block alley right of way, located north of 10th Street, is approximately 20 feet
wide by 238.6 feet in length, or 4,770 square feet. The alley functions as a drive aisle to
Palmer College's parking lots. The property at 1019 Perry Street (not owned by Palmer
College) utilizes the alley for access.
3. The mid-block alley right-of-way, located south of 10th Street, is approximately 14.33
feet wide by 183.8 feet in length, or 2,635 square feet. The alley connects 10th Street
to 9th Street, but does not provide access to the adjacent parking lot on the western
portion of the block.

Subject:
Resolution authorizing the conveyance of approximately 3.12 acres of City-owned property
located in the 3100 block of Research Parkway to Corn Belt Properties LLC, Petitioner. [Ward 8]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
In the late 1900s, prior to the creation of the Eastern Iowa Industrial Center (EIIC), the area
consisted of rural roads. The subject property encompasses approximately 3.12 acres of that
former road network. In 2021 and 2022, the Petitioner, Ryan Hintze of Corn Belt Properties LLC,
a local developer of commercial and industrial properties, acquired parcels adjacent to this
approximately 3.12-acre City-owned right-of-way (ROW) and submitted an application to the
City to vacate the ROW.
The vacation was approved by the City Council in 2022. However, a 9-acre parcel to the south
had not been developed and was under separate ownership. Most of the remaining properties
in the EIIC have been developed, with this parcel representing one of the last remaining areas.
Factors contributing to this include the small lot sizes, as well as the costs of access and road
construction for smaller developments.
In late 2025, Mr. Hintze reached an agreement with the remaining property owner of the
adjacent 9-acre parcel to the south, with acquisition expected in March 2026. Approval of this
offer will complete the assemblage of small parcels, creating an 18-acre development site within
the EIIC.
The City's approximately 3.12-acre parcel generates no property tax revenue currently. The
prospect of industrial development, which is in demand in this area, would generate future
property tax revenue and job creation. Corn Belt Properties acquired the adjacent 6-acre site for
roughly $25K/acre in 2022 and is closing on the adjacent 9-acre site at a cost of $30K/acre next
month. The offer for the L-shaped former ROW corridor is roughly $28K/acre for a total of
$87,360.
While a 2025 appraisal of the property put the value of the City's approximately 3.12 acres at
around $54K/acre, the functionality of the shape and size, coupled with comparability with
recent adjacent sales and the City's desire to encourage assemblage of an appropriately sized
industrial development parcel under one owner have led to staff's recommendation.

Resolution offered by Alderman Lienen.
RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa.
RESOLUTION authorizing the conveyance of approximately 3.12 acres of City-owned property located
in the 3100 block of Research Parkway to Corn Belt Properties LLC, Petitioner.
WHEREAS, the City of Davenport is the legal owner of certain property formerly designated as right-
of-way in the Eastern Iowa Industrial Center (EIIC) and has no current or future use planned, other
than to help provide access for a future development; and
WHEREAS, the City of Davenport has encouraged the assemblage of the smaller pieces of property in
this area to allow for industrial development; and
WHEREAS, the Petitioner is local and has developed other industrial and commercial projects in the
EIIC and QC area; and
WHEREAS, the Petitioner now owns/controls the parcels surrounding this subject property and intends
to replat and develop or convey for redevelopment; and
WHEREAS, transfer of this property is mutually beneficial to the City and the Petitioner; and
WHEREAS, a Public Hearing on the matter was advertised and held in accordance with State law.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Davenport, Iowa, that the
Mayor and staff are hereby authorized to execute documents necessary for the conveyance of
approximately 3.12 acres of City-owned property located in the 3100 block of Research Parkway to
Corn Belt Properties LLC, Petitioner.

Subject:
Motion approving the allocations for Year 52 (July 1, 2026– June 30, 2027) Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funds.
Recommendation:
Approve the motion
Background:
The Citizens' Advisory Committee (CAC) completed its process for funding recommendations for
the Year 52 CDBG program, which is a subpart of the City’s FY 2027 operating budget. The CAC
reviewed the CDBG applications at a work session and held a public meeting at which applicants
made presentations and answered questions about their programs. The CAC’s process
concluded on March 2, 2026, when the CAC passed a motion on its Year 52 funding
recommendations for the Federal FY 2026 CDBG estimated entitlement of $1,574,080. The
votes on the entire slate of recommended allocations were unanimous.
The purpose of the HOME Program is to create affordable housing opportunities for low- and
very low-income residents. City HOME dollars are targeted to the construction or rehabilitation
of single and multi-unit housing. HOME funds are available to non-profit, for-profit, or
Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO) developers of affordable housing. For
Federal FY 2026, the estimated HOME awarded entitlement is $406,017.
The attached Funding Summary includes the following for each of these programs: the agency
receiving funds, its purpose, the services it will provide, and the amount of funding to be used.
HOME dollars are reflected in bold. These allocations will be included in the Year 52 Annual
Action Plan, which will be submitted to HUD for approval after Congress passes the HUD budget
and HUD announces the City’s actual allocation amounts.
Awarding of these funds is contingent upon the City receiving the entitlements as indicated
from the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The CAC also passed a motion to
authorize City staff to make across-board cuts and increases to awards if the allocation is +/-
20%. If the allocation is more than +/- 20% from the estimated amount, the CAC will meet
again to make new recommendations.

Third Consideration: Ordinance amending Schedule XI Resident Parking Only of Chapter 10.96
entitled "Schedules" of the Municipal Code of Davenport, Iowa, by adding 12th Street along the
south side from a point 50 feet west of Christie Street, west 24 feet. [Ward 5]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Ordinance.
Background:
The proposed ordinance amendment would designate one on-street parking space in front of
2127 East 12th Street as Resident Parking Only. This property is the only residential building
located on the south side of the 2100 block of East 12th Street; the remaining properties on the
south side of the block are commercial establishments. The request was submitted by the
property owner, who indicated that the availability of a dedicated resident space would improve
the marketability and occupancy of the unit. The north side of East 12th Street is already signed
as Resident Parking Only, making 2127 East 12th Street the only residential unit on this block
without access to a designated resident parking space.

Thanks to all who participated last year in Project Renewal’s FIT-FEST!
Project Renewal is announcing our annual FIT-FEST on Saturday, April 18, 2026 - and you are
invited!
We are notifying all residents along this event route so you may contact us with any questions,
concerns and/or would like to participate. The route will be blocked off the morning of the
event 7:00 a.m. – Noon, Saturday, April 18, 2026 for the safety and well-being of participants
and residents. If you must use your vehicle during this time please park off the route THE
NIGHT BEFORE. This will help with the safety for all and respect for your property. The
approximate time to expect the streets to be clear is after Noon. As soon as the route is clear
of pedestrians and obstacles traffic will resume. We ask for your patience and consideration
at this time.
This event promotes physical well being and healthy lifestyle choices among area youth and
adults. It also brings awareness of positive developments in the surrounding neighborhood. In
addition, this fundraising opportunity is a chance for people to learn more about the service
Project Renewal provides to children and families. This is a good time for us to tidy up our yards
and streets to share with visitors the beauty of our neighborhood!
Project Renewal provides educational, social-emotional and recreational activities for children
during the school year and summer in a safe, loving environment. Staff and volunteers are
positive role models for the children, reinforcing values needed in order to live healthy and
productive lives. Project Renewal is an important organization in our community which can
deeply impact the life of a child and is very rewarding personally for those who volunteer or
provide financial support.
Many opportunities, if interested, are available to you for this event; you can run, walk,
volunteer, cheer - cheer from your own yard and/or join the festivities at Sr. Concetta Park. The
route will start and finish at 6th and Warren Streets where the park is located, refreshments will
be available, awards and prizes for registered participants. For any questions or more
information on Project Renewal, to volunteer, or receive a registration form you may call 563-

Resolution approving Change Order #3 in the amount of $197,350.33 to Langman Construction,
Inc of Rock Island, Illinois, for the 3rd Street Pavement Rehabilitation project, CIP #35055.
[Ward 3]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
The 3rd Street Pavement Rehabilitation project includes milling the existing asphalt surface
from Telegraph Road to Harrison Street and installing a new asphalt driving surface. The
project also includes updating existing ADA ramps, replacement curbing, concrete intersections,
providing stable subgrade materials, and painting lines as part of the one-way to two-way
conversion from Marquette Street to East River Drive.
This change order is necessary to provide a solid road base for the asphalt surface to be laid
down on. The existing asphalt surface was milled away, exposing the existing subbase road,
then the surface was proof rolled to observe its stability. Our existing contract has line items for
this work, along with assumed quantities. It is common that those quantities change once work
begins. The entire length of the project had many more areas deficient than planned. This work
is necessary to meet standards and ensure a long-lasting product.
The railroad approach line item was increased due to the adjoining concrete subbase being
deteriorated beyond the minimum standard to tie into. The pavement scarification line item
was increased due to a plan error in calculating the required areas. Two force account items
have been added, one to fix a sewer lateral break that was undermining the road, and one to
fix a storm sewer issue that couldn’t use existing line items.
The Iowa Department of Transportation requires a change order for both bid and force account
items to be submitted and approved after the work is completed. This has been working
through their process over the last few months.
The Surface Transportation Block Grant Program will reimburse the City for up to 80% of
eligible project costs up to a maximum of $3,564,718. This project is budgeted in CIP #35055.
Summary of Contract
Original Contract $4,681,917.45

Resolution approving the plans, specifications, form of contract, and estimate of cost for the
Middle Road (East Street to Forest Road) Mill and Overlay project, CIP #35062. [Wards 5 & 6]
Recommendation:
Adopt the Resolution.
Background:
This project will resurface Middle Road from East Street to Forest Road. The fundamental
design approach utilized for this improvement is to remove the top surface through milling and
replace it with a new 2-inch thick asphalt surface, while patching identified areas of sub-base
failures.
This project proposes changing the existing skewed intersection of East Street and Middle Road
into a code-compliant perpendicular access connection along with separating the connections of
East Street and Woodland Avenue to Middle Road. The current intersection of East Street and
Middle Road is an oblique angle, which compromises visibility and creates awkward turning
movements. East Street and Woodland Avenue will be realigned and connected to the main
roadway through two separate access points spaced along Middle Road. These connections will
provide more controlled entry and exit movements.
This modification is intended to improve safety and traffic efficiency by eliminating the skewed
crossing movement and reducing turning conflicts. Separating the access points also allows
each connection to be located where sight distance and roadway alignment are improved,
making it easier for drivers to safely enter Middle Road. The fire department has already
reviewed the proposed design and has confirmed compliance with emergency vehicle turning
requirements.
The proposed improvements include, but are not limited to, the furnishing of all labor, materials
and equipment necessary for the resurfacing of the existing asphalt roadway; full depth
patching; ADA sidewalk and ramps; resetting of all existing utility surface features to finish
grade; replacement of the adjacent alley approaches; paint striping; topsoil; sodding; and
erosion control.
This project is budgeted in CIP #35062 | Neighborhood Street Repair Program.

project decisions, and have work executed in compliance with applicable plans and

create a joint board under this Agreement. The City Engineer (or the City’s designated public
works director/engineer) is designated as the “Administrator” for purposes of Iowa Code

Engineers. The City, as contracting authority, may administer the Project and issue field
directives consistent with the plans and specifications; however, the City shall not execute any
change order, extra work authorization, or scope modification that (i) changes the termini or
typical section or (ii) materially changes the County Portion measurement method. The City
will be responsible for all inspection and managerial costs of the project.
4. Costs; Payment; Appropriation: The County shall reimburse the City for the County Portion
at fifty percent (50%) of Eligible Construction Costs. “Eligible Construction Costs” means

provided by Iowa law. Nothing in this Agreement waives, limits, or enlarges any immunity,
defense, or limitation of liability available to either party under Iowa Code chapter 670 or other
applicable law. If any claim, demand, or lawsuit arises out of the Project, the parties shall
promptly notify each other, cooperate in good faith in investigation and defense, and provide
non-privileged information reasonably necessary to address the matter. No party may settle any
claim in a manner that imposes an obligation on the other party without that other party’s
written consent.
9. Suspension; Termination; Closeout: Either party may request suspension of bidding or
construction if materially necessary due to funding shortfall, bid results, unforeseen site
conditions, or safety concerns. The parties shall meet and confer promptly to determine whether
to (i) proceed, (ii) modify the scope by written agreement, or (iii) terminate. Either party may
terminate this Agreement for material breach after written notice and reasonable opportunity
to cure, no less than thirty (30) days. The parties may terminate for convenience only by written
mutual agreement. Upon termination, the City shall provide a closeout statement of Eligible
Construction Costs incurred to the effective date of termination and the County shall pay its
share of undisputed, lawfully payable Eligible Construction Costs.
10. Property; Improvements. No jointly owned entity or jointly held property is created by this
Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, improvements constructed as part of the
Project become the property of the governmental entity with jurisdiction over the location of
the improvement upon Final Acceptance. Any real property interests (including easements)
required for the Project shall be acquired and held by the entity with jurisdiction unless
otherwise agreed by written amendment.

subsection 3(e). The parties agree that the timing and frequency of Installment Payments
is not intended to and shall not be construed to create an employment relationship.
c. Contract Price Adjustment. Beginning July 1, 2026, and each July 1 thereafter during

may offset or reconcile overpayments/underpayments in the final payment(s), consistent
with applicable law.
3. ANNUAL DUES. During the Term, the City shall pay or reimburse the Golf Professional for

Professional submits documentation reasonably acceptable to the City evidencing the amount
due. Payment or reimbursement of Annual Dues under this Section is a contractual expense
item and not wages, salary, or an employee benefit, and shall not be construed to create an

Motion approving payment to Lane & Waterman, LLP of Davenport, Iowa, in the amount of
$53,890.52 for litigation services. [All Wards]
Recommendation:
Pass the Motion.
Background:
This invoice reflects substantial litigation work performed during an active and compressed
phase of the case, including preparation and response to written discovery, management and
review of a large volume of electronically stored information, analysis of materials produced by
other parties, and preparation for upcoming depositions. The amount billed was driven by the
volume and complexity of the discovery process, the number of parties involved, and the level
of review necessary to ensure that the City’s document production and litigation preparation
were accurate and defensible. While significant, a portion of this work is foundational and will
continue to support later stages of the litigation.
