Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:December 19, 2017
Subject:Rezone from LLR to B2 Zone
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
This is an application requesting a change of zoning for land proposed for platting as Lots
1 and 2 of Meadow Lane Seventh Subdivision, in Hall County but within the zoning
jurisdiction of Grand Island from LLR Large Lot Residential to B-2 General Business.
This land is located on the north of U.S. Highway 34 and west of Shady Bend Road.
At the regular meeting of the Regional Planning Commission, held September 6, 2017
this item was considered following a public hearing.
A request to rezone part of Lot 1 and all of Lot 2 of proposed Meadow Lane
Seventh Subdivision between Highway 34 and Goldenrod Drive and west of
Shady Bend Road from LLR Large Lot Residential to B-2 General Business
Zone, in the jurisdiction of the City of Grand Island, Hall County, Nebraska. (C-
33-2017GI)
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity said this rezoning is different than the one the commission saw in June that
rezoned all the property to B2. This new proposal retains four housing lots along
the north bordering Goldenrod Drive and Conrad Drive. There would be two lots
on the south for B2 General Business. Nabity said Lot 1 would have an access
onto Highway 34 from the southwest corner and there would be an access
easement to Lot 2. Lot 2 would also retain a legal access onto Conrad, but the
county is forbidding truck traffic from that access. Nabity said there is already B2
zoned property to the east.
Linda Uhrich, 3126 Goldrod Drive, spoke against the rezoning. She had concerns
about water drainage in the subdivision.
Judy Herzog, 3415 Conrad Drive, spoke against the rezoning. She said ongoing
flooding is a problem. Septic tanks in the subdivision are affected. She said she
wants her house saved. She submitted flooding pictures to the commission to
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 4 / 199
review.
Rainforth asked if the area is in the floodplain. Nabity said the Wood River Flood
Diversion project removed it from the floodplain, but the area has high
groundwater. Nabity said septic tanks there are required to be mound systems.
Ray Dooley, 3060 Roselawn, spoke against the rezoning. He questioned why Lot
2 has a Conrad access. Nabity said every lot created must front onto a road.
Dooley said rural fire protects the area and they aren’t that quick. He opposes
additional housing. He said there’s no place for rainfall to go.
Commissioners asked questions about the condition of existing ditches and
culverts. Residents in the subdivision said ditches are blocked and not all
driveways have culverts. Robb and Rainforth suggested that the NRD be
contacted to clean out culverts. O’Neill said he lives to the northeast and drainage
in the area has been a problem for years.
Elaine Dooley, 3060 Roselawn, spoke against the rezoning. She said the
subdivision has had drainage problems for 40 years. It leads to standing water and
mosquitoes. She said two property owners have impaired water flow by not
installing culverts in their driveways. She said the groundwater is high. She said
water is intended to drain to the northeast, but it does not. She doesn’t want to see
businesses come into the area, which she said would be spot zoning, as there are
only three businesses there now. She said traffic is a problem on Highway 34 and
more business will make it worse. She reminded the commission that she
submitted a petition at the previous meeting with 73 opponents to any rezoning
that allows business in what is now a residential area.
Mary Jo Cook, 3311 Roselawn Drive, spoke against the rezoning. She is
concerned about the additional houses with a lack of drainage already.
Homeowners have already had to sandbag their homes. She said more water has
come into the subdivision since the Wal-Mart was built in the area. Mosquitoes
are a problem and the Health Department comes out regularly to do treatment.
Christi DePoorter, 3321 Conrad Drive, said she and her family own the area to be
rezoned. She also built a house in the subdivision. She said at the last meeting,
there were two potential buyers for commercial use, but both have backed out
after the negative reaction from the neighbors. Her family has tried to respond to
the concerns by making residential lots on the north to keep the character of the
neighborhood, yet still have commercial use along the highway. She said her
family does drainage for a living and understands how it works. She said she did
not put a culvert in her driveway at the suggestion of the Hall County Public
Works Department, which is close to having a paving district prepared for the
subdivision that now has dirt roads. She said her driveway will likely be redone as
part of the paving district. She said new houses there would likely be built up and
be a buffer to the slough. In response to questions, DePoorter said the proposed
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 5 / 199
commercial lots are currently planted to alfalfa and if not rezoned for commercial
use, could be used for the construction of 20 homes on the existing Large Lot
residential zoning. She said the two commercial lots just make sense along
Highway 34 as a highway corridor.
Suzie Schank, 3040 Roselawn Drive, spoke against the rezoning. She is
concerned that some customers will try to exit the commercial lots via Conrad.
She raised concerns about noise pollution, air pollution, traffic, water drainage
and a lowering of property values.
Jane Richardson, 47 Kuester Lake, said she represents the Fifth District in Hall
County. She said this area has had water drainage problems since her father
represented the area. She said there needs to be a balance between commercial
and residential property rights. Many people have lived in the subdivision for 40
years, she said.
Marlin Sekutera, 3521 Primrose Drive, spoke against the rezoning. He said he has
lived in the subdivision for 14 years and drainage is a problem. He said whether
the property is residential or commercial didn’t much matter to him, but the land
is at a confluence of water and that needs to be addressed.
Steve Spaulding, 3204 S. Shady Bend Road, said he is a new buyer of 12 acres to
the north of Conrad and east of Shady Bend Road. He said he was there to better
learn and understand the issues. He said drainage is difficult and groundwater is
the problem as its only 6 feet below the surface.
Rick Plambeck, 3217 Roselawn, said his property fronts the commercial lot. He is
concerned about noise and pollution from a commercial use. He said property
owners are on private wells in that area.
O’Neill closed the public hearing. The commission continued its discussion.
A motion was made by Ruge and seconded by Robb to approve the rezoning and
find that the rezoning is consistent with Grand Island’s Comprehensive Plan.
The approval motion deadlocked in a tie with six members in favor
(Apfel, Ruge, Robb, Rainforth, Rubio and Sears) and six members voting
no (Allan, O’Neill, Maurer, Monter, Randone and Kjar) and no one
abstaining.
A motion was made by Monter and seconded by Maurer to deny the
rezoning.
The denial motion failed with two members voting in favor (Monter and
Maurer) and nine members voting no (Apfel, O’Neill, Ruge, Robb,
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 6 / 199
Rainforth, Rubio, Sears, Randone, and Kjar) and one member (Allan)
abstaining.
No consensus was reached so a recommendation of no recommendation is
forwarded to the Grand Island City Council.
This item was considered at the September 26 meeting of the Grand Island City Council
following a public hearing. Council chose to refer the item back to the planning
commission to further discuss the issue, consider the drainage problems in the area along
with the final plat for Meadow Lane Seventh Subdivision and make a recommendation
regarding the rezoning. The item was originally schedule for the November planning
commission meeting and was pulled from that agenda by the applicant so more time
could be spent on the drainage issues and so that a meeting could be held with the
neighbors and the county engineer.
A meeting with the neighbors and the county engineer was held on November 21, 2017.
The County has committed to cleaning the ditches along Conrad and Golden Rod. These
ditches have not been cleaned since 1994. The County will also be relaying a culvert that
crosses Goldenrod that allows water to flow from the south to the north. This drainage
flows toward the slough that crosses the northern edge of the Rosenkotter\Spaulding
property. Mr. Spaulding has agreed to dedicate a drainage easement along the north edge
of his property that will give the County the ability to maintain the slough across his
property. The Neidfelts have agreed to construct on-site detention at the north end of Lots
1 and 2 of Meadow Lane 7th subdivision that will be constructed in accordance with plans
approve by the Hall County engineer that will prevent more water from leaving this
property during a 50 year or less event than would leave the property in its current state
as an alfalfa field. This will lower the drainage impact to surrounding properties and
provide an open space buffer between the residential and commercial development.
Discussion
Planning Commission held a meeting and public hearing on this request again at their
meeting on December 6, 2017. The following is the minutes and action from that
meeting regarding the rezoning and subdivision application for Meadowlark Seventh
Subdivision:
O’Neill opened the public hearing.
Nabity said this rezoning has been before the commission at the July meeting and
was reconfigured to allow residential lots along Conrad and Goldenrod Drive.
However, the Grand Island City Council referred the rezoning and final plat back
to the planning commission amid drainage concerns in the area. Nabity said the
area doesn’t drain well and never really has. He said the county, which has
jurisdiction over the roads in the subdivision, last cleaned out the ditches there in
1994. Nabity said he and Hall County Engineer Steve Riehle met with neighbors
to work out possible drainage remedies. Nabity said property owner Steve
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 7 / 199
Spaulding has consented to a 30-feet wide drainage easement through part of the
subdivision, the developers have consented to creation of a 1.5 acre water
retention pond to hold and meter out rainfall and runoff and the county has
consented to cleaning out ditches.
Riehle said the county has two proposed short-term remedies – to clean out the
ditches along Conrad Drive and Goldenrod and to work with Spaulding to design
and implement a 30-feet wide drainage easement along the path of the original
slough. Riehle said long term the county plans to work with the Natural Resources
District to improve drainage along the slough. Riehle said there is a 4-inch high
rise in the slough now that serves as a dam to water trying to flow through. Riehle
said ultimately work needs to be done both up gradient (by Wal-Mart South) and
down gradient (into Merrick County) to improve water flow through the
subdivision. Riehle said the water retention cell could also help improve water
flow.
O’Neill asked why the county should pay to clear out ditches when statute states
property owners should do so. Riehle said this particular issue has become a
health and welfare issue, so he feels the county should do more. Riehle said he
feels the county has been negligent in waiting so long to clear out ditches. O’Neill
said he was researching state statute and found that the county can make property
owners clear drainage ways on their property. O’Neill said if the county doesn’t
take such action, five property owner can petition the county to force the county
to take action. Riehle confirmed that state statute states a county “shall” take
drainage action upon petition by five affected property owners.
Riehle said the county is also looking at a potential paving district for an orphaned
gravel stretch of Conrad and is looking at replacing/relaying some culvert pipe
along Conrad.
Christie DePoorter, 3321 Conrad Drive, owner and developer, spoke in favor of
the rezoning. She said over the past six months work has been done to address
concerns. Residential lots were identified along Conrad and Goldenrod to
maintain the neighborhood feel, she said. DePoorter said restrictive covenants will
be prepared to require a green space on the north end of Lot 2 (commercial lot)
that can be used in the future for the creation of a 1-acre to 1.5-acre water
retention cell to meter water out so the slough is not overwhelmed. She said work
is being done with Spaulding to have the drainage easement identified that can
serve as the outlet for the retention cell, which is proposed now to be 15 to 20
inches deep with sloped sidewalls. DePoorter said the southwest end of Lot 2 will
have an access off Highway 34 and a 40-feet wide easement road will allow
access to both Lot 2 and Lot 1. The northern access on Lot 1 that enters onto
Conrad is there only to meet the city’s regulations of frontage on a public road for
all lots. That Conrad access will be a maintenance driveway, not one that can be
accessed by commercial trucks, she said. DePoorter said there are currently no
buyers for the proposed commercial lots. There were previously two interested
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 8 / 199
buyers, but their interest ceased after the concerns raised by neighbors back in
July.
Steve Spaulding, 3204 S. Shady Bend Road, spoke in favor of the rezoning. He
said it makes sense to have commercial usage along Highway 34, but he also
favors improving the drainage. Spaulding said he is willing to give up one-half
acre of his property for creation of a 30-feet wide drainage easement that the
county will take over and maintain. Spaulding said the drainage easement and
clearing out ditches should improve drainage through the subdivision as it
currently exists. If the Meadow Lane 7th area is fully developed, Spaulding said
the water retention cell will be needed in order to hold about 90,000 cubic feet of
water and meter it out over one to two days after a significant rain.
Elaine Dooley, 3060 Roselawn Drive, said many concerns have been addressed,
however she is concerned about standing water in the retention cell and mosquito
populations. She is also concerned about existing Highway 34 traffic and fears
vehicles slowing to turn into the proposed commercial lots will pose a safety risk.
She would like a turn lane there. O’Neill said the state will not allow a turn lane
there, however he plans to ask for a speed limit reduction during the next
Metropolitan Planning Organization meeting, of which he is the Regional
Planning Commission liaison.
Linda Uhrich, 3126 Goldenrod Drive, said the subdivision has had water
problems for more than 20 years. The residents there ask the county for
improvement and nothing happens. She said when it rains, homeowners dewater,
which is nearly useless because they pump water out into their yards, which
recycles into the home again. Uhrich said she agrees that something should
happen with the field the developers want rezoned, but she has concerns with the
water. She wants to see something done so that properties are not flooded.
O’Neill asked that the 1963 aerials shots of the area be displayed so that the
commission could see that the subdivision was built in the bottom of the slough.
O’Neill asked if drainage easements through the subdivision have been recorded.
Nabity said yes.
Ray Dooley, 3060 Roselawn Drive, asked about truck restrictions on the driveway
onto Conrad and what improvements down gradient could be made. O’Neill
reiterated the ability to force the county to improve drainage through a five-person
petition. Nabity said drainage issues up- and down-gradient aren’t issues that are
related to the rezoning of this particular parcel.
O’Neill called DePoorter to the podium and asked if she would agree to a no-
truck stipulation for the driveway on Conrad. She said yes. O’Neill asked
DePoorter if she would consent to the set aside of green space for future creation
of a water retention cell on Lot 2. She said yes. Allan asked about maintenance on
the retention cell. Riehle said he wants the floor of the retention cell built up one
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 9 / 199
foot above the floor of the ditches so that the cell remains dry except for major
rain events. That will allow the cell to be mowed and maintained.
O’Neill closed the public hearing.
A motion was made by Ruge and seconded by Robb to recommend approval of
the rezoning from LLR Large Lot Residential to B-2 General Business.
The motion carried with nine members in favor (Apfel, Allan, O’Neill,
Ruge, Maurer, Robb, Monter, Rubio and Kjar) and no members voting no
and one abstaining (Hendricksen.)
A motion was made by Ruge and seconded by Kjar to stipulate that the
subdivision agreement for the Meadow Lane 7th Subdivision (which the
commission approved September 6, 2017) include a prohibition on a commercial
driveway onto Conrad Drive and that green space be set aside on Lot 2 to
accommodate the size and design of a water retention cell that meets the approval
of the county engineer.
The motion carried with nine members in favor (Apfel, Allan, O’Neill,
Ruge, Maurer, Robb, Monter, Rubio and Kjar) and no members voting no
and one abstaining (Hendricksen.)
The memo sent to the planning commission with staff recommendation and information
from the Hall County engineer is attached for review by Council.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Approve the rezoning request as presented
2.Modify the rezoning request to meet the wishes of the Council
3.Refer the item back to Planning Commission for further study and a
recommendation
4.Postpone the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the proposed changes.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the ordinance and as presented.

Agenda Item # 6
PLANNING DIRECTOR MEMO TO REGIONAL PLANNING
November 22, 2017
SUBJECT: Rezoning at Meadow Lane Subdivision west of Shady Bend Road and north of U.S.
Highway 34.
The Grand Island City Council considered this item at its meeting on September 26, 2017. Council held a
public hearing and considered testimony from those present and considered the recommendation of the
planning commission from its meeting on September 6, 2017.
At the September planning commission meeting, the Regional Planning Commission was unable to pass
a vote recommending that council either approve or deny the request to rezone. A motion to recommend
approval of the rezoning failed with a vote of 6 members in favor and 6 members opposed. A motion to
recommend denial of the rezoning also failed with a vote of 3 members in favor and 9 members opposed.
At the time, discussion was held about the recommendation and a question came up about retaking a
vote. It was determined that action had been taken on both motions that could be offered on the subject
and that the item would be sent forward to council with a recommendation of no recommendation.
Council held its own public hearing and considered the testimony of those in attendance and decided that
it would be in the best interest of all concerned to send the item back to the planning commission for
further discussion and a possible recommendation. The applicant presented a plan to create small
detention cells at the north end of the commercial lots. The fill from these would be used to build pad
sites for the residential and commercial development. While the cells would be shallow, they would
provide both storage for water and a buffer between the highway-fronted commercial development and
the residential development along Goldenrod Drive at the north end of the development.
Planning commission will hold a new public hearing on this topic to gather additional information and can
consider the information presented to Council at its hearing on September 26. If you wish to view the
Council hearing and discussion you can follow this link http://grand-
island.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.php?view_id=2&clip_id=904 and select agenda items E2 for the hearing
and F-2 for the rezoning.
#9654 - Consideration of Request to Rezone Part of Lot 1 and all of Lot 2 of
Proposed Meadow Lane Seventh Subdivision between Highway 34 and
Goldenrod Drive and West of Shady Bend Road from LLR Large Lot Residential
to B-2 General Business (Niedfelt Property Management, LLC)
This item was related to the aforementioned Public Hearing.
Motion by Haase, second by Stelk to refer Ordinance #9654 back to the Planning
Commission.
A lengthy discussion was held regarding a solution to the drainage problem on the north
side of this property. Also mentioned were traffic problems and no turning lanes on
Highway 34.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 12 / 199
Discussion was also held regarding stipulations on the zoning change. Mr. Nabity said
the Planning Commission could not negotiate zoning changes but a majority of the issues
regarding drainage related to maintenance. The drainage plan could be a part of the
subdivision agreement.
Motion by Stelk, second by Jones to amend the motion to have the Planning Commission
review the drainage problems and make recommendations to the Council. Upon roll call
vote, Councilmembers Steele, Fitzke, Hehnke, Haase, Jones, and Stelk voted aye.
Councilmembers Minton, Donaldson, and Nickerson voted no. Motion adopted.
The proposed access easement on the south side of the property was mentioned. Christie
DePoorter stated they had originally planned this property as large lot residential but
were looking at the best possible use of this property and drainage control. Steve
Spaulding commented on concerns of retention cells and mitigating water problems on
this property. Ray Dooley commented on water coming down on Highway 34.
Upon roll call vote of the main motion, Councilmembers Steele, Fitzke, Donaldson,
Hehnke, Haase, Jones, Stelk, and Nickerson voted aye. Councilmember Minton voted
no. Motion adopted.
The proposed hearing scheduled for November 1 was pulled from the agenda at the request of the
developer to allow time to consider solutions to the drainage concerns. Subsequent meetings were held
with Hall County Engineer Steve Riehle, Chad Nabity, Steve Spaulding, Christy DePoorter and Barry
Niedfelt to discuss the issues. Upon developing a preliminary plan to address the drainage concerns a
neighborhood meeting was scheduled for and held on November 21, 2017 in the community meeting
room at City Hall. About 12 people were in attendance at that meeting from 6:30 to 8:30. Mr. Riehle
answered a number of questions and presented a proposed plan for cleaning ditches along Golden Rod
and Conrad and cleaning out the slough that crosses the Meadow Lane subdivision. A copy of his
presentation is included.
Based on the referral back to the planning commission this item needs to be reconsidered. The planning
commission can consider recommending approval or denial as submitted or alternately can make
recommendations to the developer regarding actions that could be taken to make the application
acceptable. This application has already been modified from the original application to minimize the
impact on the residential neighborhood and the developer has suggested additional modifications to the
property that they would be willing to undertake as part of this development.

Agenda Item # 5
PLANNING DIRECTOR RECOMMENDATION TO REGIONAL PLANNING
COMMISSION:
September 6, 2017
SUBJECT:Zoning Change (C-33-2017GI)
PROPOSAL:This application includes approximately 9.8 acres of land north of U.S.
Highway 34 and west of Shady Bend Road. This is the vacant property located
immediately east of the property zoned B-2 General Business on the corner of U.S.
Highway 34 and Shady Bend Road. The property is located within the two-mile extra-
territorial zoning jurisdiction of the City of Grand Island.
The applicant is requesting to change the zoning on most of Lot 1 and all of lot 2 of the
proposed Meadow Lane Seventh Subdivision from LLR Large Lot Residential Zone to B-
2 General Business.
OVERVIEW:
Site Analysis
Current zoning designation:LLR: Large Lot Residential.
Intent of zoning district LLR: To provide for a transition from rural to urban
uses, and is generally located on the fringe of the
urban area. This zoning district permits residential
dwellings at a maximum density of two dwelling
units per acre, as well as other open space and
recreational activities.
Permitted and conditional uses:LLR: Agricultural uses, recreational uses,
transitional uses such as: greenhouses and
veterinary clinics and residential uses at a density
of 1 unit per 20,000 square feet.
Comprehensive Plan Designation:Designated for future medium density residential to
office development the area immediately to the east
is planned and zoned for highway commercial uses
and Council previously amended the future land
use map and rezoned the Mile Bridge school ¼
mile to the east for commercial uses.
Existing land uses.Undeveloped property
Adjacent Properties Analysis
Current zoning designations:East: B-2 General Business Zone
South: TA-Transitional Agriculture Zone,
North and West: TA-Transitional Agriculture.
Intent of zoning district:B-2: The intent of this zoning district is to provide
for the service, retail and wholesale needs of the
general community. This zoning district will contain
uses that have users and traffic from all areas of
the community and trade areas, and therefore will
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 14 / 199
have close proximity to the major traffic corridors of
the City. Residential uses are permitted at the
density of the (R-4) High Density Residential
Zoning District.
TA: The intent of this zoning district is to provide for
a transition from rural to urban uses, and is
generally located on the fringe of the urban area.
This zoning district permits both farm and non-farm
dwellings as well as other open space and
recreational activities. The intent of the zoning
district also would allow the limited raising livestock
within certain density requirements.
Permitted and conditional uses:TA: Agricultural uses, recreational uses and
residential uses at a density at a density of 1 unit
per 20 acres. Limited animal agriculture.
Comprehensive Plan Designation:North: Designated for future low to medium
density residential development.
East: Highway Commercial.
West: Medium Density Residential.
South: Transitional Agriculture.
Existing land uses:East: Commercial.
North: Vacant and Residential.
South and West: U.S. Highway 34 and
Agricultural land.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 15 / 199
Future Land Use Map from Grand Island Comprehensive Plan
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 16 / 199
Future Land Use Map Descriptions and Policies
MO - Medium Residential to Office
This land use area is intended to provide for a mixture of single-family housing units with multi-family
housing alternatives such as townhouse, condo or apartment buildings. Residential densities of more than
15 dwelling units per acre. In addition to residential uses in the MO, limited commercial in the form of
offices is also allowed. This area has a higher density of dwellings per acre as compared to the LM land
use district.
The MO district will tend to bring more vehicles, potentially wider streets and faster traffic, and more
opportunity for a diversity of uses. Therefore, a development must be effectively sited, landscaped, and
buffered, as well as having adequate provisions for open space. Architectural features will also be a key
element in blending the mix of residential densities and limited office uses. The Medium Density
Residential/Office Area is appropriate for smaller scale mixed residential/office use development where a
variety of densities can be accomplished.
HC - HIGHWAY COMMERCIAL
This land use area is intended to accommodate uses that serve a more regional clientele that come from
miles away. These uses are typically accessible only by car, and include hotels and motels, large retailers,
malls, office and business parks, etc.
The Highway Commercial classification designates areas for retail, service and office establishments
intended to serve several neighborhoods. Community business areas should be located as business clusters
rather than arterial strip commercial development.
Internal street networks with access roads serving multiple developments and landscaping are required
within this land use designation.
LM - LOW TO MEDIUM RESIDENTIAL
The Low to Medium Residential land use would encompass residential uses with a density up to 15
dwelling units per acre. City services such as water and sewer should be provided in areas where densities
with one dwelling unit per acre.
This land use area is intended to allow for the continuation of some typical density subdivision
developments, similar to those that exist along the edges of the community.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 17 / 199
EVALUATION:
Positive Implications:
Would not negatively impact traffic on Highway 34: Access to both businesses
would be a shared access at the west end of the property.
Largely consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan: The subject
property is designated for long-term medium density residential to office
development, but is immediately adjacent to an area planned for and zoned for
commercial development. The Grand Island City Council amended the future land
use map to designate Mile Bridge School for commercial development in December
2004, so it is likely that this stretch of U.S. 34 will develop to support commercial
uses. Especially those uses aimed at people traveling to and from Grand Island.
Maintaining the residential buffer along Goldenrod and Conrad at the north end of
the property will minimize impacts to the residential neighborhood to the north.
Negative Implications:
Uses other than those proposed are allowed in the B-2 zoning district: Potential
uses for the site would include a convenience store, night club/bar, restaurant, and
strip commercial. A copy of the uses allowed in the B-2 Zoning District is attached.
Lack or municipal infrastructure: Sewer and water are not available to this property.
Changing the zoning on this property at this point would likely encourage additional
development in this area prior to the development of municipal infrastructure. The
proposed uses would not require municipal infrastructure so would fit here.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Regional Planning Commission recommend that the Grand Island City
Council change the zoning on this site from LLR Large Lot Residential to B-2

Re: Drainage Ditches in and downstream from Meadow Lane Subdivision
A letter was sent to residents of the subdivision on July 11, 2011 to gauge interest in ditch drainage
improvement projects for the subdivision. Your property is in an area of the subdivision where we are
proceeding with a ditch cleaning project.
The letters and comments we received were taken into account by Hall County Roads Department staff to
come up with an overall drainage improvement plan for the subdivision. The drainage improvement plan
impacting the drainage of your property is shown on the attached map with improvements detailed below:
1. Project 1 on Shady Bend Road and Stolley Park Road. This project will improve drainage
away from the subdivision north and east in the county road ditch.
a. A drainage improvement project will clean out the ditches downstream of the
subdivision.
b. Ditch clean out for the south ditch of Stolley Park Road and the west ditch of Shady Bend
Road should be completed by September 15th.
2. Project 3 on Primrose Drive: The proposed project is tentative pending completion of a
topographic survey.
a. The project would clean out the ditches in the county road right-of-way adjacent to your
property starting somewhere east of Goldenrod Drive and running east to Shady Bend
Road. We have not conducted a detailed elevation survey, so we do not yet know if any
driveway culverts will need to be changed; however, you will be contacted by phone or in
person if your driveway culvert needs changed.
If you have any questions regarding the ditch work, please call us at 385-5126.

a. A drainage improvement project will clean out the ditches downstream of
the subdivision.
b. Ditch clean out for the south ditch of Stolley Park Road and the west ditch
of Shady Bend Road should be completed by September 15th.
2. Project 2 on Sunflower Drive, Roselawn Drive & Primrose Drive. Project 2
will improve drainage within the subdivision and especially east side of the
Sunflower Drive cul-de-sac.
a. The elevation of the county culvert under Primrose Drive at Shady Bend
Road will be evaluated and may need to be re-laid to improve drainage.
b. A drainage improvement project will clean out the ditches in the county
road right-of-way adjacent to your property.
i. A few property owners were contacted in person or by phone
regarding their driveway culvert that will be removed and re-laid to
improve drainage.
ii. French drains will be built at the ends of the culverts to assist with
complete drainage after a rainfall.
iii. If you were not contacted about your driveway culvert, it will not
be changed.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 26 / 199
iv. The property owner will be responsible for adjusting or moving
lawn sprinkler systems, and re-seeding or re-sodding the area. We
are planning to disturb an area approximately 8’ to 14’ wide
centered on the existing ditch and culvert line.
3. We anticipate starting this project on Monday, September 12, 2011 and have
the work completed by Thursday, September 15th. Please use the time you
have before September 12th to move or salvage lawn sprinkler heads and
fittings that are located within the anticipated disturbed area described above.
If you have any questions regarding the ditch work, please call us at 385-5126.

a. The tentative drainage improvement project would clean out the ditches in
the county road right-of-way adjacent to the properties with very minimal
impact to the ditch. We do not anticipate a ditch project that encompasses
the removal and replacement of any driveways or driveway culverts.
b. We are proceeding with a ditch improvement project on the west side of
Roselawn Drive, north of Sunflower Drive and if you feel that drainage
from your property would be improved with a similar project on your side
of the street, contact the highway department to request we proceed with
project 4.
3. Project 5 for the cleaning of the drainage slough south of Subdivision: Hall
County will survey the drainage slough south of your property. If cleanout
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 28 / 199
work is performed, Hall County will coordinate with the owners of the slough
property adjacent to your property and as far downstream as land owners are
willing to cooperate with a clean-out project.

An improvement project in the county road right-of-way adjacent to your property was
not successful, so there will be no work in the county right-of-way adjacent to your

We are moving forward with drainage projects in other areas of the subdivision, so you
will see some work in the area in September.

Item F-2
#9672 - Consideration of Amendment to Chapter 22-151 and 22-
153 of the Grand Island City Code Related to Motor Vehicle Fee
Staff Contact: Renae Jimenez, Finance Director
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 41 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Jerry Janulewicz, City Attorney
Meeting:December 19, 2017
Subject:Amending the Annual Motor Vehicle Fee Schedule
Presenter(s): Jerry Janulewicz
Background
On August 29, 2017 the City Council enacted Ordinance No. 9464, which imposes a
motor vehicle fee on vehicles, operated within the city and are owned by persons residing
and businesses located within the City. The ordinance included a fee schedule, effective
November 1, 2017, establishing a $22.50 fee for passenger cars and $52.50 for
commercial vehicles. Included within the motor vehicle registration classification of
commercial vehicles are pick-up trucks commonly referred to as quarter ton, half ton, and
three-quarter ton pick-ups.
Following the effective date of the motor vehicle fee, a number of complaints have been
voiced concerning the fee imposed on pick-up trucks, as many are used as everyday
common transportation for individuals and families much in the same manner as a mini-
van or sedan. In light of the complaints, City Administration is proposing an amendment
to the fee schedule for Council’s consideration. The amending ordinance, if adopted,
would place commercial vehicles licensed for 5 ton combined weight or less in the same
fee schedule category as a passenger vehicle.
Discussion
The amending ordinance, if adopted and enacted, would place pick-up trucks registered
as 5 ton combined weight or less in the same fee schedule category as passenger vehicle.
Also included in this category are “autocycles”, which are three-wheeled vehicles
equipped with roll bars, air bags, and seat belts
Finally, the proposed ordinance includes provisions for partial refunds of the motor
vehicle fee if paid at the higher rate prior to the effective date of the new fee schedule.
The new fee schedule would be effective March 1, 2018, to allow time for programming
the change into the State’s DMV registration program and sending out March renewal
notices.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 42 / 199
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council move to approve the Ordinance.
Sample Motion
Move to approve Ordinance No. 9672.

#9673 - Consideration of Sale of Property at 4808 Gold Core Drive
Staff Contact: Tim Luchsinger, Jerry Janulewicz
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 47 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Jerome Janulewicz, City Attorney
Meeting:December 19, 2017
Subject:Ordinance 9673 - Consideration of Sale of Property at
4808 Gold Core Drive
Presenter(s):Timothy Luchsinger, Utilities Director
Background
In the 1980’s, the Utilities Department purchased property east of Highway 281 between
Schimmer Road and Wildwood Drive that would be later developed into the Platte Valley
Industrial Park. All of this property has been sold to developers with the exception of
approximately nine acres at 4808 Gold Core Road.
Request for Proposals for the purchase of this property have been issued several times
over the last few years without resulting in a sale. A Request for Proposals for Real
Estate Broker Services of City Owned Property at 4808 Gold Core Drive in Grand Island,
Nebraska was issued and advertised in accordance with City procurement policies. One
response was received from Tracy Babcock of Century 21 Da-Ly Realty, and a listing
agreement with her was authorized by Council on December 12, 2017.
Discussion
The property at 4808 Gold Core Road was listed for sale by Ms. Babcock on December
13, 2017 for $300,000 through the multiple listing service and two offers were received
as of the morning of December 14, 2017.
Discussions by our seller’s agent with prospective buyer’s agents advised that multiple
offers were expected and any offers were to be the best and highest. The highest offer
was by Lyne Realty, L.P., for $325,000.00, conditional on performing environmental and
boundary surveys by the buyer. Upon review of this offer, the listing agent, Legal, and
Utilities staff recommend that this is the highest responsive bid for the property at 4808
Gold Core Road.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 48 / 199

It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve

Recommendation

by the Mayor of the Farm, Ranch, and Land Purchase Agreement with Lyne Realty, L.P.
of Fort Worth, Texas for the property at 4808 Gold Core Road.
Sample Motion

Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 72 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Regional Planning Commission
Meeting:December 19, 2017
Subject:Meadow Lane 7th Subdivision – Final Plat
Presenter(s):Chad Nabity, AICP, Regional Planning Director
Background
This property is located north of Highway 34 and west of Shady Bend Road in the two-
mile jurisdiction of the City of Grand Island, in Hall County, Nebraska. It consists of 6
lots and 11.68 acres.
Discussion
Drainage issues were of particular concern with this subdivision and the associated
rezoning application. The rezoning application was referred back to the Planning
Commission by the Grand Island City Council at their meeting on September 6th.
Council was particularly interested in having the Planning Commission look at the
drainage issues and make a recommendation on potential solutions.
The plat for Meadow Lane 7th Subdivision, Final Plat was considered by the Regional
Planning Commission at the September 6, 2017 meeting.
A motion was made by Ruge and seconded by Apfel to approve the plat as presented.
A roll call vote was taken and the motion passed with 11 members present and voting in
favor (Apfel, Allan, O’Neill, Ruge, Maurer, Robb, Rainforth, Rubio, Sears, Randone and
Kjar) and one member voting no (Monter) and no members abstaining.
At the December 6 meeting of the Regional Planning Commission the Commission heard
more than an hour of discussion regarding drainage at this subdivision including reports
from Steve Riehle, the Hall County Engineer, the developers and what they are willing to
do to mitigate impacts to the drainage and a variety of neighbors. The County will be
cleaning the ditches along this property and a neighboring property owner Steven
Spaulding, has offered the County a drainage easement to maintain the slough across the
north end of his property. Planning Commission heard the testimony and proposed
solutions and added the following recommendations to be included in the subdivision
agreement with the developer.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 73 / 199
A motion was made by Ruge and seconded by Kjar to stipulate that the
subdivision agreement for the Meadow Lane 7th Subdivision (which the
commission approved September 6, 2017) include a prohibition on a commercial
driveway onto Conrad Drive and that green space be set aside on Lot 2 to
accommodate the size and design of a water retention cell that meets the approval
of the county engineer.
The motion carried with nine members in favor (Apfel, Allan, O’Neill,
Ruge, Maurer, Robb, Monter, Rubio and Kjar) and no members voting no
and one abstaining (Hendricksen.)
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation

Re: Rezoning of Lots 1, 2 & 3 of Meadow Lane 6th Subdivision
Thank you for the notice regarding tonight’s public hearing on a request to rezone the
above property from LLR: Large Lot Residential to B-2: General Business Zone.
We have a concern regarding the zoning change and potential impact on the current and
future surfacing of Conrad Drive.
A good portion of Conrad Drive abutting the subdivision is asphaltic concrete
surfacing.
The easterly approximately 50 feet of Conrad Drive abutting the subdivision is
gravel surfacing.
Conrad Drive east of the subdivision to Shady Bend Road is also gravel
surfacing.
We anticipate creation of a county paving assessment district to convert the gravel
portion of Conrad Drive to asphaltic concrete at some time in the future. We haven’t
worked through specifics on a paving district such as creation, cost, protests, schedule,
etc, but would anticipate possible creation of a district in the next few years.
Neither the current asphaltic concrete surfacing, current gravel surfacing or future
asphaltic concrete surfacing on Conrad Drive is or will be sufficient to support
commercial traffic. For these reasons, the Hall County Highway Department will not
approve permits for commercial driveways serving the properties from Conrad Drive.
Commercial access to Lots # 1 & # 3 should be via access easements across Lot # 2 to
the existing un-restricted access to US Highway 34 at the southwest corner of Lot # 2.
Please feel free to contact our office if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Steven P. Riehle
Hall County Engineer

#2017-359 - Approving Purchase of Braun Type I Ambulance
Staff Contact: Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 118 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Meeting:December 19, 2017
Subject:Purchase Braun Type I Ambulance
Presenter(s):Cory Schmidt, Fire Chief
Russ Blackburn, EMS Division Chief
Background
The Grand Island Fire Department maintains a fleet of seven ambulances. There are two
ambulances at Stations 1, 2, and 4 and one ambulance at Station 3. Station 1 and 2
ambulances are staffed every day to respond to medical calls. If staffing allows, a third
ambulance is placed in service at Station 4. If medical calls exceed the number of staffed
ambulances, the crew from an engine company will transfer to a back-up ambulance and
respond with advanced life support capability. This is possible because every engine
company has a paramedic on it. During 2017, the highest number of ambulances we had
out on calls simultaneously was five. Every month we hit multiple days that 3 to 4
ambulances are out at the same time. Those numbers do not take into account other units
out on fire calls at the same time.
This purchase allows us to maintain a goal of an ambulance purchase every two years.
This means that an ambulance will be used for 8 years as a primary ambulance and then
rotated to back-up duty for an additional 6 years. Then when ambulances reach 14 years
of service they are retired and replaced.
Discussion
The city council approved the purchase of an ambulance in the 2017/2018 budget for a
budgeted amount $248,000.00. The Fire Department would like to replace a 17 year old
2000 Ford type III ambulance. That ambulance has 114,674 miles on it in 7085 hours of
operation.
All of the chassis manufacturers have stopped producing the van cut-away chassis that
we have always used for Grand Island ambulances. This will be our first purchase of a
type I ambulance with 4x4 traction capabilities. We would like to purchase a 2018 Braun
Chief XL on a Ford 550 chassis for $243,678.00 from North Central Emergency Vehicles
of Lester Prairie, Minnesota. The ambulance will be purchased through BuyHGAC so it
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 119 / 199
is already pre-bid through them. The ambulance will be paid for upon delivery in
approximately 240 days. The ambulance will come prewired for our communications
radio, an Opticom preemptive device, and GIFD graphics. These three things are usually
additional expenses after the ambulance is delivered.
Alternatives
It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the purchase of the 2018
Braun Chief XL ambulance on a Ford 550 chassis for $243,678.00 for use by the GIFD
for emergency service use.
Sample Motion
Move to approve the purchase of the 2018 Braun Chief XL ambulance on a Ford 550

Relative to Fire Safety Occupancy Use Permit Fees
Staff Contact: Fred Hotz
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 122 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Fred Hotz, Fire Prevention Division Chief
Meeting:December 19, 2017
Subject:Amendment to City Fee Schedule
Presenter(s):Fred Hotz, Fire Prevention Division Chief
Background
On August 15, 2017 City Council approved an Occupancy Use Permit Fee as part of the
FY 2017-18 fee schedule. At the time of approval, a specific fee amount was not included
in the fee schedule. The Grand Island Fire Department has worked to create a fee amount
based on several factors including time required to perform the inspection as well risk
associated with a specific building.
Discussion
City Council approved on the November 28, 2017 the adoption of the 2015 International
Fire Code. Council also approved an amendment to the permit section of the International
Fire Code that established a Fire Safety Occupancy Permit. The amendment requires
commercial properties to renew their permit at regular intervals. The attached fee
schedule (amount) for this permit is now being proposed for approval.
Alternatives
It appears the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand.
The Council may:
1.Move to approve
2.Refer the issue to a Committee
3.Postpone the issue to future date
4.Take no action on the issue
Recommendation
City Administration recommends that the Council approve the recommendation of the
Fire Prevention Division and amend the City Fee Schedule to include the proposed fees.
Sample Motion
Move to approve amending the City Fee Schedule to include the fee schedule for Fire
Safety Occupancy Use Permits.

#2017-361 - Approving Purchase of Body Worn Cameras and
Supportive Equipment
Staff Contact: Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 126 / 199
Council Agenda Memo
From:Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Meeting:December 19, 2017
Subject:Purchase of Body Worn Cameras (BWC’s) and
Supportive Equipment
Presenter(s):Robert Falldorf, Police Chief
Background
In recent years in the field of policing throughout the world there has been an interest in
new technology in the field of mobile video. Due to highly publicized incidents involving
negative police and citizen contacts there has been some distrust of police amongst
citizens. The advancement of mobile video options to law enforcement, especially Body
Worn Cameras (BWC), has allowed law enforcement agencies to use an additional
valuable tool within their arsenal to combat frivolous complaints against them and also
the ability to document contacts away from their vehicles. Many law enforcement
agencies evaluated the use of BWC’s within their agencies and saw the value they
offered; however implementation was found by many agencies to be cost prohibitive, not
mainly due to the cost of the cameras themselves, but the storage and personnel
requirements to maintain the systems. The Grand Island Police Department fell into this
category where we had an interest in implementation; however didn’t have the funds for
full implementation. We do feel that we have adequate personnel in place to run a BWC
system.
The Police Department was contacted during the latter part of December 2016 by Kent
Coen, board member with the Edgar and Francis Reynolds Foundation. Mr. Coen advised
that the board had discussed providing Reynolds Foundation funds, up to an amount of
$50,000, to use toward the purchase and implementation of BWC’s for the Police
Department. A quick decision needed to be made due to the fact that they needed an
answer from us by January 1, 2017 on our interest to utilize the funds for BWC’s (even
though we would have all of 2017 to expend the funds). We realized, after looking at
some initial figures, that we could effectively put together a purchase and implementation
plan for the Police Department for BWC’s for the amount of money the Reynolds
Foundation was offering.
The Police Department verbally accepted the offer to use the Reynolds Foundation funds
for the purchase and implementation of BWC’s. The Police Department currently uses
Data911 Mobile Video Systems for our in car camera use, so it only made sense to
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 127 / 199
inquire about the availability of BWC’s through Data911. Data911 was actually
designated as our Sole Source Provider for future purchases of mobile digital video
systems, which would include BWC’s (Resolution 2007-45). It also made sense to use
Data911 as our sole source vendor for BWC’s due to the fact that their BWC’s are the
only Cameras that will work in conjunction with our current Data911 Software.
During the year of 2017 Data911 had available what would be considered a First
Generation BWC; however did advise us that they would be working on a Second
Generation option throughout the year and that option would be available by the end of
2017. The Police Department did make the decision during the earlier part of 2017 that
we would wait until the far superior Second Generation BWC’s were available. The
Police Department did receive half of the Reynolds Foundation funding ($25,000) during
the first part of 2017 and a portion of those funds ($11,810.96) were used to purchase
storage needs for BWC implementation. Some additional funds out of the initial $25,000
of funding will be used for the purchase of server backups ($3,468.38).
Discussion
The Police Department has been awarded up to $50,000 from the Edgar and Francis
Reynolds Foundation for the purchase and implementation of Body Worn Cameras
(BWC’s) for the department. Half of the foundation money ($25,000) was received
during the first part of 2017 and a portion of those funds ($11,810.96) was already used
to purchase hardware (server storage). Some of the remaining funds out of the initial
$25,000 awarded will be used to purchase server backups ($3,468.38).
The Police Department just recently received a quote from Data911 in the amount of
$34,760 for the purchase of forty-nine (49) BWC’s and for the associated docking
stations to use for in-car and in-office charging. This quote also includes the cost of
licensing and shipping for the BWC’s and equipment.
The Police Department is now requesting approval for the purchase of the forty-nine (49)
BWC’s, three (3) Eight Gang in-station dock chargers, forty-nine (49) in-car docking
stations, and associated licensing and shipping for this equipment, for a total purchase
price of $34,760. The Police Department will be asking that the second part of the
Reynolds Foundation funds ($25,000) be awarded prior to final purchases being made.

Meeting Date:December 19, 2017
Subject:Approving 2016 Consolidated Annual Performance and
Evaluation Report (CAPER) for Community
Development Block Grant Funding.
Presenter(s):Amber Alvidrez, Community Development
Administrator
Background
The Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report describes accomplishments and
progress throughout the past fiscal year with Community Development Block Grant, Federal
funding from Housing & Urban Development. Grand Island began the process of becoming
an Entitlement Community in September 2015. All entitlement grantees are required to
complete a 3,4 or 5 year Consolidated Plan that is carried out by an Annual Action Plan,
at the end of each fiscal year a Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report
must be completed. The City has chosen to complete a 3-year Consolidated Plan, which
is valid from October 2016- October 2019. A separate Annual Action Plan is prepared for
each Fiscal Year, in which a Consolidated Plan is not created. All Grantees are to prepare
a Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report each fiscal year in order to
show progress towards accomplishments and goals listed throughout the City of Grand
Island’s Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan.
A public comment regarding the 2016 Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation
Report was completed, with a start date of November 2, 2017 ending on December 1,
2017. This public comment notified the public of the Community Development
Division’s prepared Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report; all public
comments made throughout the public comment period are recorded and submitted to the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), along with the final 2016
Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report.
Discussion
The Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report addresses the $348,927 in
entitlement grant funds under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program and identifies progress towards community development priority needs,
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 134 / 199
objectives, and activities that were implemented during fiscal year 2016-2017 as a result
of Community Development Block Grant Funds.
The proposed Consolidated Annual Performance & Evaluation Report was made
available for review at the following locations on November 2, 2017:
Grand Island City Hall, City Clerk’s Office, 100 E. 1st Street, Grand Island, NE
68801.

CR-05 - Goals and Outcomes
Progress the jurisdiction has made in carrying out its strategic plan and its action plan. 91.520(a)
This could be an overview that includes major initiatives and highlights that were proposed and executed throughout the program year.
The City Of Grand Island made significant progress towards the goals of the 2016-2018 Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. The goals
that were outlined in the 2016-2018 Consolidated Plan were as follows:
Increase Quality & Affordable Housing Options
Cultivate Small and Emerging Businesses
Support Public Services for Neighborhoods and Vulnerable Populations
Improve Public Facilities
Create Re-Investment Opportunities in Downtown
Throughout the City Of Grand Island’s first year as an entitlement community, the City Of Grand Island expended Community Dedevelopment
Block Grant(CDBG) funds on activities within the community that would create progress on the goals presented. To make progress towards these
goals, the City Of Grand Island allocated CDBG funding to seven projects. To meet housing goals that were set in the 2016-2018 Consolidated
Plan two projects were housing specific. Purchase, Rehab, Resell through the Housing Development Corporation is a project where houses are
purchased and then rehabbed and resold for the original purchase price to low-to-moderate income persons (LMI). Lot Acquisition, a project
being completed by Habitat for Humanity, is another source of progress that offers housing to LMI persons. Habitat for Humanity was able to
acquire a lot that in the future will house a residents of low-to-moderate income. At this time the City continues to work with other community
non-profits within Grand Island in order to begin the Housing Improvement Partnership.
CDBG funds were allocated to be awarded to a Continuum of Care participating agency. That agency had to be able to meet the national
objectives of CDBG and make progress towards the goals set in the 2016-2018 Consolidated Plan. The Continuum of Care allocation was

Table 1 - Accomplishments – Program Year & Strategic Plan to Date
Assess how the jurisdiction’s use of funds, particularly CDBG, addresses the priorities and specific objectives identified in the plan,
giving special attention to the highest priority activities identified.
The City of Grand Island has pursued a variety of strategies to prioritize the identified needs of the community. The primary obstacle to meeting
the underserved needs is the lack of sufficient financial resources. It is evident, even within the City of Grand Island's first year as an Entitlement
Community, that several qualifying projects will go unfunded or receive only partial funding due to lack of available finances. For this reason, the
City has sought to prioritize projects which have the most capacity for making its plans become a reality, and also those which will address some
of the largest needs within the community, while using the smallest amount of required resources.
Of the seven projects funded from the 2016 Annual Action Plan year, all projects and activities made progress towards the goals identified within
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 140 / 199

the 2016-2018 Consolidated Plan. The Literacy Council of Grand Island has used CDBG funds in in order to purchase new equipment for a
learning lab in order to better serve clients. The Literacy Council specializes in providing educational services free of charge to all residents of
Grand Island which aids in providing economic opportunities for residents within the City Of Grand Island.
The City Of Grand Island worked with Downtown Business Improvement District (BID) in order to create progress in cultivating small and
emerging businesses while also creating re-investment opportunities within Grand Island. CDBG funds were used in two projects that were later
combined from the 2016 Annual Action Plan. Small Business Rental Assistance project and Revitalization fund project were combined and CDBG
funds were expended in order to help the Downtown BID bring new businesses to the downtown area of Grand Island. Other goals that were
prioritized by the City Of Grand Island were to increase affordable housing options within the city and provide support services for
neighborhoods and vulnerable populations. Progress towards goals were made by working with local partnerships such as the Continuum of
Care, Housing Development Corporation, Habitat of Humanity and Hall County Housing Authority. The following Annual Action Plan activities
were funded during the 2016 CDBG program year: Habitat for Humanity was able to purchase a lot that will later hold homes for persons or
families meeting LMI standards; Housing Development Corporation wasprovided a program match, as they applied for an additional $500,000
from the Nebraska Affordable Housing Trust Fund. A program that will purchase sub-standard homes at market rate, and do extensive
renovation to them. Once the renovation is completed, the home will be sold to an income-qualifying individual or family, for the original
purchase price.

As stated at the time of submission of the Annual Action Plan, the City is in communication with the
State of Nebraska about the fate of these funds, and as to whether the City will return all,or a portion of
the program income, since funds are technically part of the State of Nebraska’s funding allocation.

Leveraging
Explain how federal funds leveraged additional resources (private, state and local funds),
including a description of how matching requirements were satisfied, as well as how any
publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that were used to address the
needs identified in the plan.
As an entitlement community, the City of Grand Island does not require leveraged funds. Even
so, out of the 2016 Annual Action Plan projects proposed, the Housing Development
Corporation (HDC) used the CDBG funds that were awarded to them as matching funds in order
to receive a grant from the Nebraska Affordable Housing Trust Fund. Those funds along with
CDBG were able to create their Purchase, Rehab, Resell, program that will allow the HDC to
help provide suitable housing for low-to-moderate income persons within the City of Grand
Island. The City of Grand Island always encourages recipients to use match ingfunds and
leveraged funds in order for the project to have the most impact as possible within the
community.

Discuss the difference between goals and outcomes and problems encountered in meeting these goals.
At this time, the City Of Grand Island is currently working on making progress towards meeting housing
goals that were prioritized within the 2016-2018 Consolidated Plan. The City has Allocated CDBG funds
to Habitat for Humanity and Housing Development Corporation. CDBG funds that were expended to
Habitat for Humanity have gone towards lot acquisition, although due to the low number of available
real estate listings, Habitat for Humanity encountered some environmental issues with the lots that
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 146 / 199
CAPER 12
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
were available. Due to these issues, Habitat for Humanity has not begun building a house on the
purchased lot but will be continuing its activity into the future.
The City of Grand Island has also been a supporter of the Housing Development Corporation and
has allocated CDBG funds into HDC’s Purchase, Rehab, and Resell program. HDC has a goal of impacting
more than ten households. HDC was able to secure additional funding from other sources rather than
only CDBG. Two homes that are part of HDC’s project will be funded by the allocated CDBG funds. These
two homes will go to LMI people or people who fit in the criteria of 80% of AMI. HDC secured additional
funding and since created their Purchase, Rehab, Resell program and will soon begin allowing candidates
to apply for the program.
Discuss how these outcomes will impact future annual action plans.
The City of Grand Island works hard to continue progressing towards the housing goals set in the 2016-
2018 Consolidated Plan. The Habitat for Humanity program will be hard to fund again in future years,
even with the idea that more affordable housing will be available. The City of Grand Island may not have
more adequate available space in the next few program years. Therefore the City may continue to go in
other directions such as Housing Development Corporations Purchase, Rehab, Resell. As this program
purchases houses within the community and “rehabs” them, which in turn aides not only LMI persons
but can help the appeal of a neighborhood. The Revitalization Fund and Small Business Rental Assistance
programs also continues to help meet goals that were set in the 2016-2018 Consolidated Plan by
continuing to make progress in revitalizing neighborhoods and districts.

Evaluate the jurisdiction’s progress in meeting its specific objectives for reducing and ending
homelessness through:
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their
individual needs
Throughout this program year, the City of Grand Island did not partake in any projects that specifically
targeted homelessness. The City continues to support local area Continuum of Care (CoC) by having a
staff member from the Community Development Division attend meetings. The CoC has several local
agencies that serve homeless persons. Agencies such as Salvation Army and Hope Harbor are available
within the City Of Grand Island. Both agencies are well suited for helping reduce the amount of
homelessness in the community.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons
The City of Grand Island did not use any CDBG funds in addressing the emergency shelter and
transitional housing needs of homeless persons. The City of Grand Island continues to support local non-
profits such as Continuum of Care to help address these needs within the community.
Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely
low-income individuals and families and those who are: likely to become homeless after
being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care
facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections
programs and institutions); and, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that
address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs
The City did not use any CDBG funds in regards to homeless persons. The City of Grand Island does
support local agencies such as the Continuum of Care and other local non-profits. The City encourages
partnering non-profits to continue seeking financial help from other state and federal entities.
Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families
with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to
permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that

individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals
and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were
recently homeless from becoming homeless again
The City did not use any CDBG funds in regards to homeless persons. The City of Grand Island does
support local agencies such as the Continuum of Care and other local non-profits. The City encourages
partnering non-profits to continue seeking financial help from other State and Federal entities.

CR-30 - Public Housing 91.220(h); 91.320(j)
Actions taken to address the needs of public housing
The City of Grand Island continues to support agencies such as the Hall County Housing Authority. The
Hall County Housing Authority (HCHA) currently has the Public Housing Program which allows the HCHA
to offer 391 apartments and scattered homes in the Hall County area at an income based rate.
The City of Grand Island is currently working with Hall County Housing Authority and other non-profits in
developing the Housing Improvement Partnership (HIP) with funds that were allocated from CDBG. At
this time the HIP is still in a planning process with the idea of aiding the City in making progress towards
goals such as increasing and preserving affordable housing, providing supportive services for
neighborhoods and vulnerable populations and improving public facilities. As HIP grows, it will formulate
activities such as the Senior Home Modification Program. This activity will provide funds to do repairs to
homes inhabited by seniors. HIP will also continue making progress towards the neighborhood initiatives
portion of the project which will include assisting a various number of people based on the size of the
qualifying neighborhood association.
Actions taken to encourage public housing residents to become more involved in
management and participate in homeownership
The City Of Grand Island continues to coordinate with the Continuum of Care (CoC) in order to partner
with other non-profits to meet needs that are within the community of Grand Island.
The City of Grand Island has worked closely and continues to support the Hall County Housing Authority
(HCHA). The HCHA was able to provide a housing summit to the community of Grand Island on April 18,
2017 in Grand Island Nebraska. This summit was used as an informative tool for not only landlords but
tenants as well. Twenty seven LMI persons received scholarships to attend from the HCHA. While in
attendance they were able to gather knowledge of how to keep a home safe, and knowledge about
issues such as providing insight into what a landlord can legally do and cannot do.
The City of Grand Island welcomes and encourages the participation of all of its citizens in the
development of these plans and in the review of progress in implementing plan activities. The City
particularly encourages involvement by low and moderate income households, individuals residing in
areas targeted for program activities, minorities and non-English speaking persons, as well as persons
with disabilities. In addition, residents of public housing and other assisted housing groups are
encouraged to participate. Finally, we encourage local and regional institutions and other organizations
including businesses, neighborhood associations, housing developers including the Hall County Housing
Authority, and community and faith-based organizations to become involved in the planning process.

Actions taken to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as
barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning
ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the
return on residential investment. 91.220 (j); 91.320 (i)
The City of Grand Island expended a portion of the CDBG funds to Habitat for Humanity for lot
aquisition. In the beginning of this project, Habitat for Humanity was unable to find a suitable lot for sale
due to prices and availability within the City Of Grand Island. Habitat for Humanity was eventually able
to purchase a lot that had a few barriers to overcome, such as noise. The City was also able expend
CDBG funds to the Housing Development Corporation, with the activity of Purchase, Rehab, Resell. This
program is meant to help LMI persons to buy a home that needs repairs. The HDC will provide these
repairs by first purchasing a home, and then during a rehab process, $25,000 will be used to “rehab” any
problems with in the home. After rehab of the home is complete, the HDC will then sell the property to
the LMI person for what the property was purchased for by the HDC.
Actions taken to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City of Grand Island continues to find new ways to develop affordable housing and economic
opportunities. The city continues to provide support to many organization within the community as well
as organizations that are receiving CDBG funds. While working collaboratively with other organizations
the City continues to expend CDBG funds on projects such as the Small Business Rental Assistance in
order to help the downtown BID acquire new businesses in the area. This helps the community
economically along with continuing the progress of revitalization of neighborhoods and districts. As the
City continues to work with other organizations and the Housing Improvement Partnership begins to
grow, the city will have an organization well suited for meeting the goals by using activities which meet
national objectives and serve the needs of developing stable neighborhoods and/or addressing housing
needs of income-qualifying senior citizens.
Actions taken to reduce lead-based paint hazards. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City of Grand Island funds multiple housing programs including down payment assistance and
owner occupied rehabilitation programs; all of which require a lead based paint inspection on all homes
built prior 1978. Homes that were built prior to 1978 are presumed or tested to have lead-based paint.
The City of Grand Island did not directly operate any Rehabilitation efforts during the 2016-2017 Annual
Action Plan Period. For this reason, the Lead Based Paint Guidelines which apply are those directly
related to sub-recipients of CDBG funds. The following actions are included in the City's Community
Development Policy and Procedures document:
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 153 / 199
CAPER 19
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018)
“At a minimum, Sub-recipient is required to:
a) Notify a purchaser or lessee of the presence of any known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint
hazards;
b) Paint test surfaces to be disturbed or removed during rehabilitation for the presence of lead-based
paint, or presume lead-based paint and notify the occupants of the results within 15 days of when the
evaluation report is received or the presumption is made;
c) Provide each occupied dwelling unit discussed in (a) and (b) in the preceding section with the EPA-
approved lead hazard information pamphlet Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home or EPA-
approved equivalent;
d) Reduce lead hazards as required by the applicable subparts of Part 35 (full description of Part 35 is
available in the Community Development Policy and Procedures, it states the varying levels of
requirements, in relation to the level of financial assistance provided); and
e) Perform clearance testing, including dust testing, before re-occupancy after all but minimal (“de
minimis”) amounts of paint disturbances.”
It should also be noted that the Community Development Policy and Procedures states that “Where
regulations differ, Sub-recipients are held to the stricter of the standards.”
At this point and time, the City sees the implementation and enforcement of the above guidelines as
actively attempting to reduce Lead Based Paint Hazards.
Actions taken to reduce the number of poverty-level families. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
Projects from the 2016 Annual Action Plan, such as the Continuum of Care grant, contributes to direct
needs. The Literacy Council of Grand Island which is the sub-recipient of the CoC grant, was able to use
funds to provide more tutoring services, this was done by hiring more staff/tutors and updating lab
equipment. Other projects from the 2016 Annual Action Plan such as lot acquisition that was fulfilled by
Habitat for Humanity and Purchase, Rehab and Resell that was created by the Housing Development
Corporation both continue to achieve progress in reducing the number of poverty level families within
the City of Grand Island.
Additionally, other sectors of Grow Grand Island are working to address the needs of poverty-level
families, including workforce initiatives and education initiatives. The City of Grand Island’s Emergency
Management Department, Police Department and Fire Department also have various programs that

support poverty-level families. It is the intent of the City to continue to support these programs in its
efforts to address the poverty needs.
Actions taken to develop institutional structure. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City Of Grand Island continues to work closely with community partners through the local and
regional Continuum of Care groups. The City continues to support agencies such as Salvation Army,
Hope Harbor, Housing Development Corporation and Hall County Housing Authority. With these
partnerships, the city continues to make progress towards the Housing Improvement Partnership where
CDBG funds will be expended in order to create an organization that can provide services
neighborhoods and vulnerable populations. Although current progress in serving homeless or poverty
stricken persons is achieved through these partnerships due to the different expertise each agency
offers. The City has also worked closely with the Grand Island Area Economic Development Corporation
(GIEDC). The GIEDC was able to fund and complete a housing study for the City of Grand Island. This
allowed the City and partnering agencies to continue progress in addressing the needs of homeless and
poverty stricken persons within the City of Grand Island.
Actions taken to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social service
agencies. 91.220(k); 91.320(j)
The City of Grand Island continues to participate in monthly meetings with the local Continuum of Care.
The City and other non-profit partners within the CoC continue to cooperate in finding ideas to meet the
housing and residential needs within the community of Grand Island.
Identify actions taken to overcome the effects of any impediments identified in the

Municipal regulations such as zoning ordinances and subdivision regulations can provide restrictive
parameters for the development of new affordable housing and residential investment.
In regard to furthering affordable housing, the City continues to work towards providing for a range of
housing types and densities for all economic segments of the population. The City encourages equal and
fair access to housing for renters and homeowners.
The City also promotes accessibility by providing affordable housing by formulating innovative policies,
regulations and practices, and establishing secure funding mechanisms and targeting affordability
programs toward households with incomes considered low to moderate income.
In order to overcome these impediments The City Of Grand Island worked towards making progress
on goals that were prioritized by the City Of Grand Island which were to increase affordable housing
options within the city and provide support services for neighborhoods and vulnerable populations.
Progress towards goals were made by working with local partnerships such as the Continuum of Care,
Housing Development Corporation, Habitat of Humanity and Hall County Housing Authority. The
following Annual Action Plan activities were funded during the 2016 CDBG program year: Habitat for
Humanity was able to purchase a lot that will later hold homes for persons or families meeting LMI
standards; Housing Development Corporation wasprovided a program match, as they applied for an
additional $500,000 from the Nebraska Affordable Housing Trust Fund. A program that will purchase
sub-standard homes at market rate, and do extensive renovation to them. Once the renovation is
completed, the home will be sold to an income-qualifying individual or family, for the original purchase
price.

Background
The Emergency Management Department has completed the design of the new

estimated to be $3.4 million.
Grand Island Council Session - 12/19/2017 Page 194 / 199
The Department opened bids from eight applicants on December 7, 2017. Following a
review process that evaluated a bidders’ price for the lump sum bid, prices for two

$43,159.00 for a total Bid price of $3,122,701.00. This project is paid through the
