CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING FOR A
CHANGE IN PROCEDURE FOR ASSESSING
�-
FEES FOR SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE WATER DIVISION
(first consideration).
Comment:
Two different methods are used by the
City Water
Division to set fees
' 1 and overhead
at the present time. An actual charge for labor, matera
expense is used when determining the charge for having the City Water
Crews make taps to the water mains. For service charges such as meter
installations, meter removals, etc., the ordinance says that the City
Council must set a uniform fee. As a result of this latter provision,
fees have dropped to a level far below the actual cost to the City.
As an example, the present fee for an after -hour meter installation
is $S.00; however, the City must pay a salary of $16.11 for an after -
hour call -out to Water Division personnel. The ordinance under consid-
eration would set service charge fees on a labor, material and overhead
expense basis, as it is now done with water main taps. After passage
of this ordinance, all work done by the Water Division for customers
would be
done on a labor, material and overhead expense basis.

Glaves stressed: the need to have; a .consultant; to..deteitnine

asked what this consultant provides that others'haven't', Kraft
responded "expertise" from an agent;of.the City,to,.proceed
through the development process. He further state$ that=if'
we want smooth solicitation;;for developers,,this.is,the only
way to go. Glaves added the consultant would would help deter-
mine°.whether-or„not the grievances of the developers were
-legitimate or not.. Councilman Selzer felt-the'con'sult;i'L ser-

that on page 17.., Task.13, it states the, consultant -”will as=_

Council discussed: pages 13 and ,14 regarding financial analysis.

consultants to evaluate the status of .our funds and possibly,

compensation for services in case of;termination,by Couacii;,.
Council felt the contract should be changed,so.-the consultant
would be paid for services actually done rather than id'amount
which bears the same ratio to the total compensation as the
services actually performed bear to the total services of the
consultant covered by the contract..:
Councilman Vevera was concerned that if Council did not agree
to advice given by the consultant (i.e., parking ramp), the
contract would allow the consultant to terminate, leaving the
City with the most important matter unresolved (Phase III).
City Manager Berlin assured Council that Mr. Zuchelli was flex-
ible.
Glaves explained we would be buying marketing services to help
us by talking to developers and tenants, not a marketability
study. To attempt this by staff, would require approximately
15 to 18 months, much longer than by consultant. In referring
to Task 9 on page 13, Mayor Neuhauser noted the City already
has an appraiser. Glaves stated the City shouldn't obtain
appraiser values before it is really needed. He also explained
various terms used by the contract including "FAR control"
which means For our Area Ratio control.
Councilman deProsse felt the parcels would be sold to local
developers; she did not anticipate it being advertised nation-
wide. She further stated she greatly respected Paul Glaves'
advice, noting there was a limit to what he can do; and if
staff advises hiring a consultant, this is what should be done.
Councilman Selzer explained two things he felt should be kept
in mind: (1) a great amount of the work covered by the con-
tract has been done, and (2) we're not talking about develop-
ing downtown Detroit, the more controls we place the less
chance of success.

REPORT TO THE IOWA CITY AIRPORT COMMISSION
1. Called Mr. Lewis Oberkrone, Compliance Officer, Federal
Aviation Agency, Kansas City, Missouri about the feasibility
of a private property owner adjacent to public airport being
allowed access to the airport. Mr. Oberkrone stated this
would be a non -Compliance to the agreement between the F.A.A.
and the Iowa City Airport Commission. Such an action is an
encumbrance on the airport and therefore is not allowed.
2. Mr. Oberkrone also brought up the question concerning the pay-
ment of $84,749.00 dollars by the Iowa Department of Transportation,
Highway Division, to the Iowa City Airport Commission for the
taking of 4.77 acres of land form the Airport and severance
damage to the remaining property. I assured Mr. Oberkrone the
Highway Division of I.D.O.T. was in the process of getting this
accomplished. Mr. Victor Preisser, Director of I.D.O.T., had
me visit with A.E. Schroeder, head of their Justice Department
and staff. They conveyed to me the contents of a letter written
to Mr. Robert Bohlin, Assistant City Attorney, of Iowa City
by Raymond Callahan, Assistant Attorney General, dated June
16, 1976. The City of Iowa City was sent the necessary forms
and the procedure to follow to make it possible for the
Highway Division to forward a draft in the amount of $84,749.00
to the City of Iowa City. The monies to be put in the Airport
Commission Fund for airport use. This being the situation, Mr.
Oberkrone stated, he would process the necessary forms and send
them to the City of Iowa City, so the City Administration can
complete the transaction with the Highway Division of I.D.O.T.
3. The Justice Department of I.D.O.T. also mentioned the fact it
appears the City Administration of Iowa City is concerned
about the Iowa City Airport Commission being an autonomus
group. To the Justice Department this was rather difficult to
understand, as the Iowa Code has always clearly spelled out
the Airport Commission's authority.

Re: Funds available for Iowa River Corridor Management
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
The Iowa City Riverfront Commission is currently trying to plan and prepare
a budget with regard to the future management of the Iowa River Corridor.
In order to do this and to establish priorities we need to have some idea
of what funds might be available. Specifically we would like to know whether
it is the intent of the City Council to allocate I1CDA funds for future land
acquisition or improvements in the Iowa River Corridor. In other words,
can we budget with sums such as $250,000, previously tentatively allocated
($200,000 to the Riverfront and $50,000 to Parks and Recreation) in mind.
In order to make the best use of the River Corridor Study made by Stanley
Consultants (at a cost of $42,000), the Riverfront Commission feels it is
essential to proceed with some of the recommended actions, and to rank these
in order of priority. Please inform us as to sources and magnitude of funds
which may be available.
Yours sincerely,
Sam Fahr, Chairman
Iowa City Riverfront Commission

STAFF REPORT
Planning and Zoning Ccu.aission
SUBJECT; August 5, 1976
Z-7609. Application submitted by
Bryn Mawr Heights and Company to
rezone a tract of land from RIA
and Cl, lcated
south of proposed subdivision Bryn Mawr Heights, PartR8� and immediately
north of the south corporate limits of Iowa City. Date filed: 7/2/76,
45 -day limitation: 8/16/76
The request area of approximately 34.04 acres is undeveloped and zoned
RIA. The main physical featu re of the area is the gently rolling topography.
This area is highly suitable for urban development.
The major land use in the surrounding area is predominantly residential
and commercial in character. The proposed subdivision, Bryn Mawr Heights,
Part 8 (20.3 acres) is located immediately north of the request area. The
aforementioned subdivision has been requested for rezoning from RIA to
RIB. The proposed addition is also an integral part of a large scale
development plan for the area. Existing single family residences zoned
RIB are found to the east of the request area. Land presently occupied by
commercial uses abuts the request area to the south. These commercial
establishments, although located just outside the Iowa City limits, serve
the general Iowa City community as well as the traveling public using
Highway 1.
There are two major constraints of the proposed rezoning request. The
first major constraint is the location of proposed R2 and R3 residential
zoned land adjacent to property to be designated in a C1 (commercial)
category. Residential areas should not be located next to commercial
areas without adequate controls providing for protection of adjacent
residential areas. The proposed Cl zoning would allow for the development
of a variety of general commercial uses suitable for convenience to the
neighborhood. The location of these uses next to residential areas may be
desirable provided that adequate guidelines are established for the develop-
ment and placement of such activities. General zonal regulations do not
Provide this assurance.
The Southwest Area Study prepared by staff in 1969 indicated that existing
commercial areas -- including the potential commercial center planned for
the 15 -acre area zoned CH near Benton Street and Mormon Trek Boulevard -
are adequate to serve the ultimate anticipated population of the subject
area and the general vicinity. The report also recommended that no
additional land is needed for commercial use in or near the subject area.
A major concern of the staff is whether commercial development is needed
for the subject area, if the proposed location is desirable, and what type
OLarge space in the f commercial use should be allowed in the request area when it develops.
other pr posedacommercial areas rare cdeveloped. A neighborhoodtconveniif
encc
-z-
center providing for daily household needs may be desirable if development
is sufficiently large enough to support such a use. This facility usually
requires an area of about 1.5 to 4.0 acres. The most desirable location for
convenience centers is on an arterial street at the intersection of a
collector street. The proposed commercial sites as illustrated on the
rezoning map is consistent with the previously mentioned size and location
standards for neighborhood convenience centers.
Residential areas should be protected from depreciation of property value
resulting from commercial over -zoning and even from the intrusion of
desirable commercial uses. In this regard, the City should allow for the
development of only planned and integrated commercial areas. This can best
be accomplished through the use of the planned commercial zone (PC Zone)
as specified in Chapter 8.10 of the Iowa City Zoning Code or via a planned
area development.
The second major constraint of the rezoning request is that the proposed
rezoning does not provide for the most desirable zoning pattern and develop-
ment scheme. The rezoning proposals do provide for transitional or step-
down zoning. This type of zoning is acceptable as a means for insulating
sharp changes in land use. The use of transitional zoning for new large
scale developments, however, may allow for random and unplanned development
rather than a pattern of development thoughtfully formulated in the interest
of the community.
As mentioned before, traditional zonal regulations do not provide the
City with development controls that will ensure that future development
will occur in a desirable manner appropriate to community needs.
The staff encourages the use of "Planned Area Development" for the planning
and development of the subject area. The previously mentioned Southwest
Development Study also recommended the use of PAD's for the development of
the subject area and its immediate vicinity. The report further suggested
that multi -family development be permitted in the aforementioned only
through a PAD and at a density of RIB.
STAFF
RECOMLtitENDATI ON :
Based upon the above analysis,
the staff recommends that the
rezoning request be denied.
STAFF Proper zoning of commercial or
COMENT: business areas is a subject of
considerable debate. Perhaps
the worst fault of many early
zoning ordinances was the practice of over -zoning for stores and other
business uses. Property owners had the idea that if their land was so
zoned, they would be developed for commercial purposes and would be more
valuable as a consequence. City officials felt that the best use that
could be made of the frontage of all major thoroughfares and some of the
0

minor ones was for businesses; civic boosters urged that plenty of space be
left for business expansion. The net effect was the creation of run down
slum areas, since large areas were zoned for business and the adjacent land
was sterilized, inhibiting productive use. No property owner would spend
much to improve residential property in an area zoned for business, due to
lack of protection against his neighborhood.
Only about 2-5% of the total developed area of an average city is devoted
to commercial uses. This amount is divided among the central business
district, neighborhood shopping centers and other areas scattered throughout
the city.while all off-street parking requirements for new commercial centers
will raise the total space requirements somewhat, close examination should
be given to any zoning ordinance that provides a markedly greater amount of
land for commercial purposes than 50 of the total. Possible the greatest
problem in commercial zoning today is the location of neighborhood and
community shopping centers. Due to the success of some of these centers
a boom has developed and many real estate developers are eager to follow
the trend. From a planning point of view, there is frequently no basis
for choice between a number of locations for a shopping center. At the
same time, it is obvious that even complete services of all natural trade
area would not furnish enough business to support a center at every possible
location. Several partially developed centers in fierce competition with
one another will not be so desirable for the community as one or two
thriving centers.
It is difficult to designate in advance any specific location as the only
shopping center district, because this amounts to giving the lucky property
owner a monopoly. The city can resolve this dilemma by spelling out in its
ordinance the conditions under which an area will be rezoned for shopping
center purposes and by placing the burden on the applicant to demonstrate
that his tract meets these conditions.

STAFF REPORT
Planning and Zoning Commission
July 15, 1976
SUBJECT: Z-7610. Application submitted by
Bryn Mawr Heights, Inc. to rezone
a tract of land from R1A to RIB,
located south of Bryn Mawr Heights,
Part 7. Date filed: 7/2/76. 45 -day limitation: 8/16/76.
STAFF The request area of approximately
ANALYSIS: 20.3 acres is currently vacant and
zoned RIA. The topographic condition
of the request area is characterized
by gently rolling terrain and limited natural vegetation. The subject property
is highly suitable for low density residential development. Most of this land
is presently devoted to agricultural purposes. High quality single family
residences are found to the north and northeast and west of the request area
in an RIB Zone. Vacant agricultural land abuts said property to the south
and west.
The rezoning is being requested to incorporate RIB, low density owner -occupied
housing -- a compatible development to the surrounding area. The current
zoning of the request area (RIA) is most compatible with the surrounding
development pattern and the proposed RIB zoning of the subject area may be
compatible depending on the overall density of development. Nevertheless,
the average lot size in RIB developments may not be consistent with adjacent
residential areas since lot sizes of 6,000 square feet are permitted.
A subdivision plat submitted in conjunction with the subject rezoning request
illustrates lot sizes in excess of 6,000 square feet and consistent with existing
average lot sizes in the surrounding area. To rezone the area to an RIB zone
would be acting on a good faith reliance that the subdivider would be pursuing
the approval of said plat. Approval of the plat simultaneously with the approval
of the rezoning application, with a further word of caution to the subdivider
that any revised plat with smaller average lot sizes would be inappropriate,
would be the City's only recourse other than denying the request. Any such
attempt to do so would, in the Staff's opinion, be reasonable grounds to
instigate rezoning the property back to an RIA zone.
Present conditions in the immediate vicinity of the request area (Ernest Horn
School District) indicate that overcrowding of Ernest Horn Elementary School
is a critical area of concern. This area of the City (southwest) is rapidly
becoming the prime development area of the community. See Staff Report --
the Southwest Area Development Study of 1969.
Mr. Richard Lahr, a school official of the Iowa City Community School District,
has indicated to staff that additional elementary school age children residing
in the area will be bused to the elementary schools, Roosevelt or Coralville
Central. Mr. Lahr also indicated that there are no current plans for future
school sites in the area or elsewhere in the community. Mr. Lahr did mention,
however, that in order to meet increased school enrollment demands, an addition
to Ernest Horn School may be constructed before the end of the year, 1977.
2 -
The busing of elementary school age children to other parts of the community
is very costly and one of the main arguments for the establishment of a no -
growth policy. The City must eventually address itself to this issue to
prevent such high cost in providing services to urban type developments.
Land held in "urban reserve" or preserved until such time that services can
be provided on an economical basis is one solution, but until the City
refrains from extending sanitary sewer services to these areas, it is doubt-
ful that the City legally has the prerogative to stop development in these
areas.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
Based on the foregoing analysis, it
is the Staff's recommendation that
the request area be zoned RIB.
STAFF Overcrowding in Iowa City schools
COMMENT: stems mainly from two factors:
(1) entry of large, young families
with school age children into the
area, and (2) gradual increase in population density in the area due to new
urban development. In selected instances, the overcrowded condition is
temporarily due to family relocation and transitionary change in neighborhood
population composition.
Portable or mobile classrooms offer a solution to rectifying a temporarily
overcrowded school facility. These units enable school officials to respond
immediately to classroom requirements in specific neighborhoods. They can
also prevent double sessions or excessive travel time to other schools.
Long range solutions to inadequate school facilities can be rectified through
the use of the neighborhood concept. This concept recognizes the elementary
school as a central focus of residential neighborhoods. Acceptance of the
concept implies that adequate housing consists not merely of individual homes,
no matter how well planned or located, but that all residential and community
facilities and services (i.e., schools, recreation areas, utilities, streets,
etc.) required for shelter, health, and convenience of the residents in a
neighborhood be included within the neighborhood.

CITY CLERK
T0: The Members of the Pluming and Zoning Connission
and City Council of Iowa City, Iowa
Vie, the undersigned, being residents and property owners of the
City of Iowa City, Iowa, do hereby join in a petition protesting against the
passage of an Application for Zoning Reclassification of the area within the said
Iowa City consisting of approximately 20.3 acres and located south of Bryn Mawr
Heights, Part 7, an Addition to the City of Iowa City, Iowa, according to the
recorded plat thereof, and stating the reasons for such protest as follows:
1.
The reclassification from an R1A Zone to an R1B Zone could result
in increased population density in an area which is rapidly being developed. Such
situation is not in the best interests of the public welfare due to already existing
overcrowding problems in the elementary schools in the area..
2.
That to rezone the subject property would result in incompatible
development between the subject property and the surrounding area, a situation vini.ch
would not result if the subject property were left as an RIA Zone, and would pave
the way for further rezoning of that land to the south of the subject property,
further densifying the area.

STAPF REPORT
Planning and Zoning Commission
September 2, 1976
SUBJECT: S-7626. Preliminary plat..of Eastdale
Mall located southeast of First
Avenue and northeast of Lower
Muscatine Road; date filed: 8/19/76;
4S -day limitation:. • 10/3/76.,
STAFF Mr. Dave Cahill and Mr.,Pat Harding
ANALYSIS: propose toe:subdivide the.10.06,acre
tract previously owned by;victor
Metals into 13 lots for an integrated
commercial development of stores under separate ownership interconnected:by ;
an open pedestrian mall. The conceptual plan has merit and should:prove,to:,
be very successful.
A major obstacle in what would appear as a rather unique planned commercial
development is a requirement of the Zoning Code that all lots front directly
upon a public street or upon an officially approved place.
The Board of Adjustment on August 4, 1976, granted approval of an application
submitted to designate the driveways upon which the lots would front, as
officially approved places. A staff analysis of that application was presented
in a Staff Report dated August 4, 1976 which is attached as a supplement to
this Staff Report.
The Planning and Engineering Divisions reviewed the subject plat and noted
several discrepancies with the Subdivision Code enumerated as follows:
1. The plat should be designated as a replat of all (or part) of Lot 2
of Ohls Subdivision.
2. The original lot lines of Lot 2 of Ohls Subdivision should be indicated.
3. The subdivision should indicate 13 lots and be.numbered in numerical order.
4. Private drives should be labelled as officially approved places.
S. The chord bearing and distance, radius and the arc length should be
indicated on the plat and in the description for the curve in the
boundary along First Avenue.
6. Easements should be shown for all existing and proposed public utilities.
7. A graphic scale should be provided.
8. The width of the right -o£ -way and paved surface of existing streets abutting
the subdivision should be indicated.
9. The lot dimensions of Lots 1, 11 and 12 should be shown.

STAFF REPORT
Board of Adjustment.
August 4, 1976
SUBJECT: V-7607..• Application submitted by
Mr. Dave Cahill and Mr. Pat
Harding to permit lots at 1705
First Avenue to front upon a
private drive or an "officially approved place" in lieu of upon a public
street; date filed: 7/14/76.
STAFF According to Section 8.10.3A48
ANALYSIS: of the Zoning Code, a lot is
"a parcel of land, adequate for
occupancy by a use permitted :
under this Chapter (8.10), which provides the yards, area, and'off-street
parking herein required under this Chapter, and which fronts directly _
upon a public street or upon an officially approved place'!: A lot is
also a parcel for the purpose of transfer of ownership or building develop-
ment as established in an approved and recorded subdivision plat". The
applicants propose to subdividepartof a 9.47 acre tract located north
of Lower Muscatine Road and east of First Avenue ,(see attached plan)
into lots for disposition to potential commercial buyers for development
in accordance with a preconceived development plan. The lots, however, _.
could not be subdivided without frontage upon a.public street unless
the Board of Adjustment "interprets the provisions of the Zoning Code
in such a way as will not be.contrary to public interest where.owing to
special. conditions a literal enforcement of "the provisions of this
Code will result'in unnecessary hardship, and in such a way that the
spirit of the Code shall be observed and substantial justice done
(8.10.28H.1.D)". The Board's interpretation of the ordinance would
constitute permission to allow the lots to front upon an officially'-
,approved
place. This analysis, then, will address the "special conditions" and
"public interest" in this case to determine whether there is sufficient
grounds in granting such approval.
The applicants, purchasers of the Victor Metals estate, propose to convert
the existing building into an enclosed mall and, in addition, to construct an
open mall with stores linked to the enclosed mall by an exterior pedestrian walkway.
In shopping center developments, this is the most desirable method of
providing an integration of various types of retail stores for customer
convenience. Such planned developments can most effectively be accomplished
if the shopping center is'under single ownership. That is not to say,,
however, that a planned shopping center cannot be developed under multiple_ .
ownership if tight restrictive covenants are established.
The applicant's dilemma is the development of aplanned. shopping center-,.,..
under the multiple ownership of lots having frontage upon.a public street.
They have been informed by the City that cars would not be.allowed io
back out from parking stalls onto a public street ;'and 'it was suggested
that all parking spaces and driveways be, private. j_
® The proposal of a planned commercial shopping center incorporating the
design features contemplated would definitely be in the public interest,
and this situation is sufficiently unique that relief would be warranted.
STAFF Based upon the above analysis,
RECOMMENDATION: it is the 'staff's recommendation
that the Zoning Code be inter-
preted in such a way ,as will
not be contrary to public interest where owing to special conditions by
permitting lots to front upon a driveway designated as an officially approved'
place:

APPEAL TO THE
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
DATE July 149 1976
We, Dave Cahill and Pat Harding of 1705 lst Ave Iowa City .
having met with the City Planning Staff, Traffic Engineer and,the
Planning and Zoning Commission for discussions and their recommend-
ations regarding the desirability of dedicated streets versus
private drives in the proposed Eastdale Mall Addition to Iowa City.
The proposed Eastdale Mall adjacent to the southeast side of
First Avenue, the former Victor Metals site, would accommodate
retail businesses and professional services.
The traffic generated by the development would require parking
/j spaces in the proposed streets in addition to off-street parking.
�J The City Staff, considering the importance of traffic movement
on First Avenue, along with additional street maintenance on the
proposed streets and the needs of the developer, advised the
Owners of the proposed Eastdale Mall to provide access to the
development via private drives from First Avenue and Lower Muscatine
Road.
Therefore it would be necessary to deviate from the requirement
of the Zoning Ordinance wherein each lot must front on a public
street.
Therefore in accordance with Section 8.10.28.H.1.D of the Zoning
Ordinance,"To interpret the provisions of this Chapter in such a
way as will not be contrary to public interest where owing to
special conditions a literal enforcement of the
in such provisions of this

RE: Eastdale Mall
FACTS
DATE: September 17, 1976
The owners have obtained a subdivision plat for the Eastdale
Mall. All of the lots are under two acres except Lot 13 which
contains an existing building which the owners intend to extensively
renodel.
�� : a. d. guy.
Must the owner camply with Chapter 9.52, Municipal Code of
Iowa, Large Scale Non -Residential Development, with regard to
Lot 133
The owner wishes to secure a building permit for an office,
cvmrercial or industrial building on a tract greater than two (2)
acres: therefore, he must cxnply with chapter 9.52.
DISCUSSION
Section 301(a) of the Uniform Building Code states: "No person,
firm or corporation shall erect, construct, enlarge, alter,
any building or structure in the city, or cause the same to be done,
without first obtaining a separate building permit for each such build-
ing or structure frau the Building Official." Chapter 9.52 applies
whenever the owner or owners of a tract of land wishes to secure a
building penntt for an office, cc mercial or industrial building on
a tract over two acres.
Since a building permit must be obtained for minor repairs, it
would be advisable to amend Chapter 9.52 so that its provisions apply
only to major improvwmts.

RE: Fire Pumper Bids
Enclosed is a memorandum from the Fire Chief providing a summary of bids
received for the new pumper which is budgeted under capital outlay in the
current operating budget. It is proposed that, in accordance with Chief
Keating's recommendation, the award be made to American LaFrance with the
understanding that an appropriate budget adjustment will have to be made
later in the year to accommodate the additional cost in the amount of
$8,549. As Revenue Sharing monies were originally allocated for this pumper,
it appears that an additional allocation from that source would be appropriate.

RE: Fire Pumper Bids
Enclosed is a memorandum from the Fire Chief providing a summary of bids
received Eor the new pumper which is budgeted under capital outlay in the
current operating budget. It is proposed that, in accordance with Chief
Keating's recommendation, the award be made to American LaFrance with the
understanding that an appropriate budget adjustment will have to be made
later in the year to accommodate the additional cost in the amount of
$8,549. As Revenue Sharing monies were originally allocated for this pumper,
it appears that an additional allocation from that source would be appropriate.

STAFF REPORT
Planning F, Zoning Commission
September 16, 1976
SUBJECT: S-7629. Preliminary and Final Large
Scale Non -Residential Development
plan of "Kens", located north of
Highway 1 and west of Orchard Street;
date filed: 8/30/76; 45 -day limitation:
10/14/76.
STAFF The 3.63 acre premises owned by
ANALYSIS: Sherkin Inc., a nominee corporation,
and Shirley A. Ranshaw, is presently
ieby ccu
Ken's Farm and Auto Supply store andoWestern World sThesettwloubuildings
were constructed previously under separate ownerships, Ken's Distributing
COmpanY and Kenneth li. Ranshaw and Shirley A. Ranshaw. For financial
reasons the property has now been placed in single ownership. The owner
is desirous of securing it building permit to construct a building in
between the existing two buildings, but because the subject tract is
greater than two acres in area, and now under single ownership, an LSNRD
plan of the tract meeting the requirements of Chapter 9.52 of the Municipal
Code must be approved by the City previous to the issuance of a building
permit.
The planning and engineering divisions have reviewed the combined preliminary
and final LSNRD plan submitted noting several additions and changes which
should be incorporated in the plan or supportive documents as follows:
1. Parking facilities to include parking spaces, driveways, aisles,
access points, curbs, traffic circulation patterns (one-way or
two-way) and the capacity of the parking area should be illus-
trated on the plan and completely dimensioned.
2. Since special requirements may be imposed by the City with
respect to curbs it is suggested that raised medians be
provided at the ends of parking islands and that curbs be
provided along driveways to facilitate traffic movement
and avoid problems encountered as in the Mall shopping
center. Stich requirements have been imposed in LSNRD
Plans such as Plamore Lanes.
3. Landscaping the premises is not a requirement of the LSNRD
ordinance. However, the proposed methods of buffering the
development area to adjacent land uses is a specific require-
ment. An application had previously been submitted to the
Board of Adjustment for a variance in the rear yard set back
for buildings constructed on the tract. At that time, adjacent
property owners had submitted a petition in support of a variance
1604 .
if the rear yard was retained as a green strip but indicated they
were not in favor of a planting screen along; their property lines
common to the boundary of the tract. Arguably, the 736 foot long
building would be an effective barrier to any commercial activity.
It is recommended, however, that the tract be screened along the
north boundary line beyond the extremities of the building. Land
adjacent to the tract on the east and west and across the street
to the south is presently zoned for commercial development.
4. A sidewalk agreement for construction of sidewalks along Orchard
Street and Highway 1 should be submitted.
S. An intended development time schedule should be submitted.
STAFF It is the Staff's recommendation
RfCODN1I:NDAT10\: that consideration of the subject
plan be deferred pending the revision
Of the plan to incorporate the above
items.

Building Code Amendment
DATE: September 17, 1976
In December 1975, the Johnson County Citizens Committee for the Handicapped
asked that the City Council consider an amendment to the Building Code which
would increase the number of units in multiple dwelling buildings which would
be accessible for the physically handicapped. (Copy of request attached.)
No action was taken on this request because there was some question as to
whether the City could pass a more stringent requirement than the State law.
The City's Legal Staff has prepared an opinion (attached) which indicates
that the City may pass more stringent regulations.
However, before the staff undertakes preparation of an ordinance amendment,
I would appreciate receiving direction from the Council that would indicate
that the Council desires to have this amendment prepared. Ibis will facilitate
priority setting and minimize staff time requirements. If you have any questions
concerning this matter, please contact me.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Iowa City Council Hembern:
On September 23, 1975, the .Tnluuron County Citizens' Committee,
'rt: ltu regular bur+lnean muutinr, nddreuned itnelf to the Iowa
Building Code, Section 502, Pnragraph (f). Because very few
five Planes are being built in Iowa City while a much larger
nuinbor of four plexes are being constructed, and because the
Iowa City area has so few accessible housing units and seems
to be ennterint a period of growth in the number of apartment
units being built, the Johnson County Citizens' Committee for
the L'andicapped recommends that you adopt the following modi-
fied wording of section 502, paragraph (f):
In every multiple -dwelling unit building containing
four (currently reads five) or more individual dwell-
ing units the requirement of this chapter which apply
to apartments shall be net at least one dwelling unit
or by at least twenty per cent (currently reads ten per
cent) of the units, whichever is the greater number,
on the ground floor level and on each of the levels in
the building which are accessible to,the physically..,
handicapped.......
T11is change would be more appropriate in meafitne the needs of
the physically handicapped and we therefore -urge your serious
consideration of this recommendation.
Sincerely,
K: R. Hiner

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 29, 1976
TO: John Hayek, City Attorney
FROM: Angela Ryan, Asst. City Attorney
RE: Accessibility for the Handicapped in Apartments
Pacts
In a letter to Mr. Richard Plastino, Director of Public works,
Mr. Donald Appell, Building Code Commissioner, stated that an eight -
unit apartment could be considered as two four-plexes if the area
separation wall met certain requirements. This would mean that the
eight -unit apartment could avoid meeting the specifications of
104A, Building Entrance for Handicapped Persons, because the
section applies only to multiple -dwelling -unit buildings which
contain five or more individual dwelling units.
Questions Presented
1. Is the City of Iowa City bound by Mr. Appell's interpre-
tations?
2. Can a builder in Iowa City avoid providing access to the
handicapped by placing an area separation wall between each four
units?
Conclusions
1. Yes, Mr. Appell's interpretation is binding.
2. A builder in Iowa City can presently avoid providing access
for the handicapped by constructing an area separation wall between
each four units which conforms to the specifications of 505(d)
Uniform Building Code.
Discussion
On April 9, 1974, the City of Iowa City adopted by ordinance the
Uniform Building Code, 1973 Edition, as the building code of Iowa City
Section 505(d) Uniform Building Code states the following:
(d) Area Separation hulls. Each portion of a building
separated by one or more area separation walls may be considered
a separate building provided the area separation walls meet
the following requirements:
1. Area separation walls shall be not less than four-hour fire -
resistive construction in Types I, II or III buildings and two-
hour fire -resistive construction in Types IV or V buildings.
The total width of all openings in such walls shall not exceed
25 percent of the length of the wall in each story. All open-
ings shall be protected by a fire assembly having a three-hour
fire -protection rating in four-hour fire -resistive walls and
one and one -half-hour fire -protection rating in two-hour fire -
resistive walls.
2. Area separation walls need not extend to the outer edges of
horizontal projecting elements such as balconies, roof overhangs,
canopies, marquees or architectural projections provided the
exterior wall at the termination of the area separation wall
and the projecting elements above are not less than one-hour fire -
resistive construction for a width equal to the depth of the
projecting elements. Wall openings within such widths shall
be protected by assemblies having a three -fourths -hour fire -
protection rating.
3. Area separation walls shall extend from the foundation to a
point at least 30 inches above the roof....
Section 103A.10(2) states, "The state building code shall be
applicable:
(a) To all buildings and structures owned by the state or an agency
of the state.
(b) In each governmental subdivision where the governing body has
adopted a resolution accepting the application of the code.11 since
Iowa City adopted the Uniform Building Code, rather than the state
building code, (b) would not apply to Iowa City. Therefore, in most
cases, the state building code commissioner's authority in Iowa City
would be limited to buildings owned by the state or an agency of the
state.
An exception is found in Section 104A, Iowa Code, Building Entrance
for Handicapped Persons. It states: "In addition to complying with
the standards and specifications set forth in sections 104A.3 and 104A.4,
the authority responsible for the construction of any building or facility
covered by section 104A.2 shall conform with rules promulgated by the
state building code commissioner as provided in section 103A.7."
103A.7 State Building Code states: "The state building code commissioner
with the approval of the advisory council is hereby empowered and directed
to formulate and adopt and from time to time amend or revise and to
Promulgate, in conformity with and subject to the conditions set forth
in this chapter, reasonable rules designed to establish minimum safe-
guards in the erection and construction of buildings and structures, to
protect the human beings who live and work in them from fire and other
hazards, and to establish regulations to further protect the health,
safety and welfare of the public.
The rules shall include reasonable provisions for the following...
5. Ti:e accessibility and use by physically handicapped and
elderly persons, o: buildings, structures and facilities which are
constructed and intended for ::se by the general public.
These rules shall cornpri::e and be }mown as the state building
cc e.
;herefore, the _,tate huilding code corjaissioner has authority
to promulgate rul^s for accessibility by the handicapped.
Since 103A.7 states that it 'establisbcs minimum safeguards," the
aucstion is wether a -municipality 'ay impose nigher standards under
section 364.3•(3) Iowa Code. section 364.3(3), Cities - Powers and Duties,
which .. `.he bro-.d rant of 11o.-ne Rule power, states that a
city " ay st=nFards .ir.icb are hiaher or more strincent that `::ese
imzr:sed bystatelaw un less a:ate law Provides othe2:wise. tia.cr .:_ae
Rule, a power is vested in the city council except as otherwise provided
by state law.
An argument can ba made that the state intended to preempt the
field. Section 103A.8(1) and (6) state that the sate building code
shall provide uniform standards and reouirements for construction and
shall eliminate restrictive, absolete, conflicting and unnecessary
regulations which tend to unnecessarily increase construction costs.
There have been no cases interpreting the question. I believe the
stronger argument is that the state building code provides the mini -
num standard and the city may itlippse a higher standard.

While Iowa City has a number of projects which could be financed under
this program, it appears that our priority is so low that the chances of
receiving funding are quite remote. First priority for projects will be
given to those areas having an unemployment rate for the average of the
three most recent consecutive months which is in excess of the national
unemployment rate. Seventy percent of the funding will be available to
programs in those areas.
Second priority will be give to areas having an unemployment rate for
the average of the three most recent consecutive months which is in
excess of 6.5 percent but less than or equal to the national average.
Thirty percent of the funds appropriated will be available for projects
in those areas.
And finally, the last category will be areas having an unemployment rate
equal to or less than 6 1/2 percent. Applications for these areas will
be approved only if funds are available in the 30 percent priority level
or if funding is necessary to fulfill the minimum funding level required
for each state. Projects in this category will be assigned percentage
points based upon total number of unemployed, income level of the area,
duration and intensity of unemployment and if the City can guarantee
that 10 percent of the labor force will come from the area. In most
cases the City must own the property so construction can begin within
the 90 day deadline.
The League of Municipalities is asking for clarification of "What is an
identifiable project." It is questionable if projects that are currently
included in municipal CIP's will be eligible even if the projects are
listed in the most general nature, (i.e., street improvements),
In spite of the extremely low priority which Iowa City would receive,
the staff will continue to follow the legislation to be sure that we
will not miss any opportunities which may arise.

RE: Vibration caused by Buses on Rundell Street
r�
u
DATE: September 16 1976
Rundell Street is composed of Portland Concrete in a deteriorated
condition. The surface is structurely sound; however, surface
irregularities do create vibration when buses travel over the
road.
The only solution to eliminate the problem is an asphaltic concrete
overlay. Estimated cost is $29,000. I recommend that no action
be taken. This same problem exists on many streets throughout town
and the cost of the solution would appear to be far in excess
of the actual problem.

IOWA CITY POLICE DEPARTMENT
Monthly Report: August, 1.976
General
A modest decrease in citizen generated requests for Police ser-
vice was noted in August. However, the decrease was not significant
and can probably be attributed to the ending of the summer session
at the University. Of greater importance is the fact that larcenies
decreased substantially as compared to the two previous months.
Apparently, assigning Detectives to the late night shift pays some
dividends. A total of forty-four new cases were assigned to the
Detective Division for follow-up investigations.
Animal Shelter activities ran slightly higher than the preceeding
month but total yearly activities to date continued somewhat lower
than those of the prior year.
Statistical summaries are attached.
Personnel Changes
Kay Walenta transferred from the Department of Human Relations
to the Police Department in mid-August. Mr. Paul Galbreath was
hired as a Clerk/Typist trainee under a C.E.T.A. program. Joel
Myers was hired as a full-time radio dispatcher.
Goal. Accomplishment
The contract for design drawings for the locker room facilities
for women officers was awarded to a local architectural firm.

RE: District Court Decision in Victor Industries Corp. V. City
of Ia...a City
Dear Mayor Neuhauser & Mein`r_•rs of the Council:
Attached to this mercn please find a copy of Judge Ansel
Chapman's recent decision in the case of Victor Industries Corp.
v. City of Ic7wa City. The assessment in this case of approxi-
mztely $49,000 was reducedbythe Court to $34,592, approximately
a 30% reduction. The Court specifically found that the actions
of the Council in the entire assessment procedure were in accord
with the provisions of Chapter 391A, the Code, and were not
fraudulent in any respect. The Court reduced the assessment
because it felt that the assessrent exceeded the special benefits
conferred.
If you have any further questions I would be happy to
answer them. I would not recomtend an appeal of this decision.
'fnank you.

IN THE IOWA DISTRICT COURT, IN AND FOR JOHNSON COUNTY
VICTOR INDUSTRIES CORPORATION,
Plaintiff - Appellant,
VS.
CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA,
Defendant - Appellee.
C� u
y0�
OT�
oy_ CD
NO. 42278
FINDINGS OF FACBt2e� � N
CONCLUSIONS OF 1�r3
AND DECREE
The above case was tried to the Court pursuant to
assignment. Plaintiff appeared by Attorney Marion R'. Neely
and Defendant by Assistant City Attorney Robert Bowlin. The
testimony of witnesses was received and the cause submitted.
Thereafter,the Court received written briefs from respective
counsel.
FINDINGS OF FACT
1). Plaintiff seeks reduction of a paving assessment
-n
r�
TI
levied against its property pursuant to Chapter 391A, The Code.
2). The City adopted a resolution of necessity on June
26, 1973. The improvement was constructed pursuant to a con-
tract awarded on July 17, 1973. The final assessment in the
amount of $49,417.29, from which Plaintiff has timely appealed,
was approved on February 13, 1971.
3). Plaintiff operated a manufacturing plant, primarily
devoted to the fabrication of plastic tubes, on 9.4 acres of
ground in Iowa City, Iowa. On the south the property fronted
on Lower Muscatine Road which provided the only access; no
streets abutted the property on the other three sides.
4). Prior to the improvement First Avenue was a some-
what curving two-lane street which ran in a generally north -
south direction to the east of Plaintiff's property. It did
not abut Plaintiff's property. The stretch of First Avenue
0
Era
involved in this case extends from the railroad tracks just
north of Plaintiff's property south to Lower Ffuscatine Road
(the terminus of old First Avenue) and Highway 6 (the
terminus of the new street).
5). In accordance with the recommendation received
in an arterial street program report, the Council adopted the
First Avenue improvement program in order to improve the
traffic flow south of the railroad tracks and provide 'a First
Avenue -Highway 6 interchange. This was accomplished by the
construction of a new four -lane 45 -foot arterial street which
abutted Plaintiff's property along the west boundary. First
Avenue is.a busy major thoroughfare which moves a considerable
volume of traffic serving all areas of the City.
6). The City employed a method of assessment commonly
known as the "point -area method" which spreads the assessable
costs of the paving over the area of real estate of an owner
within the assessment district based upon consideration of
various factors including cost, frontage area and distance
from the improvement. The assessment district extended 300
feet in depth from the perimeter of the public right of way
of relocated First Avenue and included 7.4 of the 9.4 acres
of property owned by Plaintiff. The manufacturing plant was
included within the assessed area.
7). The city picked up the cost of 5/8 of the right of
way and 17 feet of the pavement. The remaining costs were
assessed to the property owners.
8). The relocation and new street were not essential
nor particularly beneficial to Plaintiff's manufacturing
operations. However, the property did benefit by reason of
-3 -
additional access, improved drainage and enhancement of future
commercial development if Plaintiff should ever seek to terminate
or restrict its manufacturing operations. While general access
is improved, First Avenue is so close to Plaintiff's building
that it cannot effectively use one loading door in the manner
used before the improvement. Plaintiff's witnesses testified
that the amount of benefit varied from minimal to seven or eight
thousand dollars.
9). The Defendant's valuation witness testified that
Plaintiff's property was benefited by the improvement in the
amount of $120,000.00.
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1). The action by the Council in the entire assessment
procedure accorded with the provisions of Chapter 319A, The
Code, and were not fraudulent in any respect. Relying upon
Fluckey v City of Plymouth (Mich.) 100 N.W.2d 486, Plaintiff
claims that the amount of the assessment was so grossly dis-
proportionate to the benefit conferred that the Council's
action was so arbitrary as to constitute a fraud at law and
cannot stand. Whatever the import of that case may be, it is
not necessarily the law of Iowa. In Goodell v. The City of
Clinton, 193 N.w.2d 91, the Iowa Court recognized the validity
of some issues raised in Flucke but did not specifically approve
the "fraud at law" doctrine. Even if this doctrine has viability
in Iowa, the facts of the present case would not come within
the ambit of its application.
2). The single issue for determination is whether or not
the assessment made by the Defendant exceeds the benefits con-
ferred upon Plaintiff's property. This is the test by which
Plaintiff's obligation is measured under Section 319A.26, The
-4 -
Code, which provides:
"The total cost of a public improvement....
shall be assessed against all lots within
the assessment district in accordance to
the special benefits conferred upon the
property thereby and not in excess of such
benefits."
3). Goodell v. City of Clinton, 193 N.W.2d 91, 93
summarizes the governing principles in assessment cases
equally applicable to Chapter 391 or Chapter 391A proceedings:
"(1)Once a city council has properly ordered a
special improvement (which is here conceded),
there is a presumption of necessity and a
presumption, too, that some benefit results
to the assessed property owners.
11(2)There is a presumption the amount of the
assessment is correct and does not exceed
the special benefit accruing from the
improvement.
"(3)In considering the benefits flowing from a
special improvement, it is proper to consider
future uses and expectations as well as
present use to which the property is put.
"(4)The burden is on the protesting property
owner to shot✓ his assessment is excessive
by evidence which includes proof of the actual
benefit to his property. In the absence of
such evidence, the assessment must stand."
The Court, in Goodell, also recognized (Page 94) the continuing
and difficult problem in any assessment case is "to determine
how much of the improvement represents a special benefit to
the individual rather than a general one to the city." In
the instant case, I find that the City has reaped substantially
greater benefit from the improvement than the Plaintiff property
owner.
An improved traffic flow pattern beneficial to the
entire city was the main reason for the relocation of First
Avenue. It far outweighed any incidental benefit which may
have accrued to abutting property. The situation is different
from the ordinary improvement of an existing street. The Iowa
-5 -
Court recognized this in the Goodell case, supra in which it
commented upon the Fluckey case, supra and stated on Page 95
of 193 N.11.2d that "We agree with much that is said there
about the distinction to be made between general and special
benefits when a neighborhood street is converted to one designed
to carry greater volumes of traffic in and out of the community."
4). The area -point method of computing a paving assessment
according to area with limitations as to distance from the
improvement is a proper though not necessarily sole method of
computing a paving assessment. Beh v. City of West Des Moires,
131 N.W.2d 488, ttul`ord v City of Iowa Falls, 221 N.W.2d 260.
Immediate increase in market value of the assessed property
after the improvement is not determinative of the value of the
special benefit conferred. Gingles v City of Onawa, 41 N.W.2d
717.
5). Future prospects for the assessed property may be
taken into consideration in determining the ultimate question
of present value as it relates to benefits conferred. Wharton
V. City of Oskaloosa, 158 N.41.2d 834, Rood v. City of Ames, 60
N.W.2d 227.
The Defendant did not rely upon the presumption of
benefit alone, but presented testimony of a valuation
witness, Donald Johnson, that the subject property before and
after value revealed an increase of $120,000.00 as a result
of the benefit derived from the improvements.
In reaching this result Johnson first appraised the
entire property as a unit and determined the valuation before
the improvement to be $465,000.00. In reaching an after
aluation of
improvement v
$585,000.00 he did not appraise the
unit but divided it into three segments comprised
property as a ur poses
of or.�� Hartel of 4.3 acres devoted to manufacturing p
and the remainder divided into parcels devoted to commercial
development, roved
The after value method of appraising was one disapproved
by the Court in an analogous situation
- eminent domain proceedings-
"The law of eminent domain does not contemplate that in fixing
the value of a farm the plaintiff may cut to pieces his farm
and a piecemeal valuation be taken as the basis of valuation
before and after the condemnation- It is the value as a whol^
before and after the condemnation, and not
the value in parcel."
v- Iowa State Hi hwa Commission.
211 Iowa 625, 233 N•W-
Welton �259 Iowa
Iowa State Hi hwa Commission,
876. See also Jone�—
616, 144 N.w.2d 277.
The method of valuation casts some doubt as to the weight
and credibility which the Court should give to the testimony of
Defendant's valuation witness. He has arbitrarily limited the
manufacturing enterprise to 4.3 acres and has thereby robbed
substantial area of expansion and parking.
the facility of a property should have been appraised as

separating the property into individual parcels. It would seem
that Johnson's method was simply
a convenient way to establish
a valuation base which would support the assessment.
6) In this case the general benefits to the City and
the public far exceeded the special benefits to plaintiff's
property by reason of the paving improvement. The enhancement
and value testified to by Defendant's witness was as unrealistic
-7 -
on the high side as the Plaintiff's witnesses were on the low
side. The true balance lies somewhere in between.
The assessment against Plaintiff's property in the
amount of $49,417.29 exceeded the special benefits conferred
on the property. In this respect the Plaintiff has sustained
the burden of proving the material allegations of the petition
by a preponderance of the evidence and the assessment should be
reduced to an amount which does not exceed the special benefits
conferred. Plaintiff's property was enhanced in value in the
sum of $34,592.00, and the assessment figure must correspond
thereto. Ile v City o`
Sioux City., 133 N.W.2d 110, 3J2.

Mr. Donald Canney
Mayor
City of Cedar Rapids
Cedar Rapids, lowa 52401
Re: Comment.,; on the (lousing and Community Development Act of 1974
Ocar Mayor f.anncy:
By way of brief recapitulation, the City of Towa City is presently
receiving an annual alloc:,tion of $2,061,000 under the Hold Harmless
provisions of the Block Cant Program. During the fourth program year
this amount will be reduced by one-third and during the fifth program
year, the City will receive only one-third of the base Bold Harmless
allocation.
Towa City is very concerned about the funding of the program beyond
the third year of entitlement. Pffective local programming very
obviously rI•quires a continuity of funding. Tt appears as though just
when the City is at the point of having several mna programs operating
smoothly, there is a distinct possibility that the funding for these
programs will be either reduced or eliminated. Tt would be a real
loss to the City to have such needed programs as housing rehabilitation
:Ind ac( -elm -ted code enforcement dropped at the very time when they are
1,eg.inning to make a recognizable positive impact upon the community.
This possibility seems to be even greater in light of the State
Logi slaturc's property tax increase limitation. For Towa City it is
not merely a rase of having to divert: funds from other programs, but
rather it is n case of either securing fcdlral funds for these programs
or eliminating the prograins.

'Ibe initial commentary surrounding, Block Grant progranuning was that
of guaranteeing an annual level of funding which would enable local
communities to integrate this funding into their annual budgeting
process. With the questionable status of future funding or the
possible reduction in funding, it is difficult to perceive how the
Community Development Block Grant Program has many advantages over
the older categorical grants. One definite advantage of the categorical
grant programs was that the federal government did allocate sufficient
funds for the completion of the entire project while recognizing
of course, that the high level of inflation we have experienced recently
did periodically necessitate program budget amendments.
'Ihc (lousing Assistance Plan (Table 3) requires that communities submit
estimates on future housing needs. The initial Iowa City submission
was one which we considered to be realistic and one which was based
upon the probable availability of HUD financial assistance for subsi-
dized housing. Upon review of the application, the (IUD Area Office
then directed the City to drastically revise these figures upward
as a result of their analysis of the 1970 population data for Iowa
City. 'rhe city did comply with this request in that it was one of
the refill irumen ts for receiving Block Grant Funds, however, it became
apparent to us that the new amounts could in no way be realized by the
City. (The housing goal was changed from approximately 4S0 dwelling
units to 1:00 dwelling units.) Based upon HUD's past performance of
providing a very minimal number of subsidized housing unit starts to
Iowa City, it would appear as though the figures included in the revised
Rousing Assistance Plan will do little more than create expectations
which can obviously not be filled. It would seem logical that if (IUD
would dictate a three to four hundred percent increase in the number
of housing; units in the (lousing Assistance Plan, that (IUD and Congress
make avail ble a significantly greater subsidized housing allocation to
rotmmalitics such as Iowa City.
it ie. quits apparent in town City thatthere is no such thing; as newly
constructed Inw cost hunr..ing. All new housing is rN aLlvely expensive;
the only way that low and low -moderate income residents can be suitably
housed in Iowa City is for a significant amount of external (either federal
or slate) •;ubsidy to be received.
I hope this information will be of assistance to you in your presentation
to the U.S. Conference of Mayors. please let me know if additional
assistance is required.

Minutes of Staff Meeting
September 15, 1976
A memorandum on educational programs has been sent to department heads which
establishes a policy regarding this item. The department heads were asked to
review this memo and this subject will be discussed again at next week's staff
meeting.
The Police and Fire Chiefs have developed a Municipal Disaster Survival Manual.
This is to be considered as a draft. The department heads were requested to
review this manual to see if it represents the responsibilities of the respective
departments. Comments are to be addressed to the City Manager's office within
a week so that the manual can be completed.
Another memorandum was distributed to the department heads, subject: Guide to
Productivity Improvement. The ICMA has been publishing a compilation of activities
going on in cities across the country in all of their various programs and depart-
ments. This publication will be circulated to department heads. The department
heads were encouraged to review the information in the publication and inform the
City Manager of the ideas they are able to utilize.
The department heads were asked to submit in writing to the City Manager any
suggestions or comments concerning the qualifications, background or any other
aspects of the finance director's position. That information will be incorporated
in the selection process. The City will use a citizens' committee to participate
in the interviews and to make recommendations. Those participating are: Clayton
Ringenberg, Mark Thompson, and Flo Beth Ehninger.
A preliminary meeting on the budget will be held Friday afternoon, September 17,
at 1:30 P.M. in the conference room. To be discussed are problems which department
heads have perceived in the budget process in previous years and what kinds of
changes should be made in the budget process which will be useful for the depart-
ments, useful for the City Council in making decisions, and useful to the community
in understanding what is going on in City government.
Regional Planning Commission has inquired about the City's plans for the Christmas
holidays. The department heads expressed the opinion that the extra day should
be taken at the discretion of the department heads. The Friday before Christmas
(December 24) and the Friday before New Year's Day (December 31) will be declared
as holidays at the Civic Center.
The department heads reported a limited interest in a City picnic. It was agreed
that efforts whould be concentrated on planning a Christmas party.
Agenda items were discussed:
The Director of Public Works was requested to furnish information to the
City Council regarding the right-of-way the City has purchased for Scott
Boulevard. The information is to include the width of the right-of-way. It
was also requested that Public Works make up a sketch of the Scott Boulevard
area in question.
Material will be sent to University Heights with a letter this week.
The Legal Staff has prepared a memorandum regarding responsibility for cleaning
debris from the Iowa River. It is the opinion of the Legal Staff that the
State of Iowa has this responsibility. Public Works was directed to write a
l6/6
0
letter to the appropriate State office requesting that this work be
done.
The City Manager requested that Paul Glaves should discuss the question of
underground utilities with Mr. Zuchelli. This item should remain on the
pending list.
The City Council is very interested in having uniform signs in the urban
renewal area. This is an item on the pending list. The Director of Public
Works replied that the City has a contract with Wehner, Nowysz and Pattschull
for these signs.
The City Manager's office will follow-up on the bus shelter competition.
The City Manager's office will write a press release on towing.
A request was made by a citizen at the Council meeting to have metal shields
placed on the back of traffic lights in areas where the reflection of the sun
makes it impossible to see the signals at certain times of the day, particularly
on Burlington Street. The Department of Public Works was requested to check
into this matter and report back to the City Manager.
Another problem was brought to the attention of the City Council. When
going down Jefferson Street on the bike path, the path is on the left side.
When proceeding from the triangle on Klapp and Glendale, it is necessary to
cross in front of the traffic to the right side. The Director of Public
Works is to check into this matter and respond to the City Manager in order
that a reply may be sent to the complaining citizen.
Dick Plastino, Gene Dietz and Dennis Kraft were requested to meet before
October 5 regarding the Scott Boulevard sewer problem.
The City Attorney will provide a legal opinion regarding the LSNRD for
Eastdale Mall. This is to go on the agenda for next week's Council meeting.
Linda Schreiber and the City Clerk will work on the issue of a "break-in"
period for boards and commission members. Also consider the question of
number of allowed absences from meetings.
The Assistant City Attorney was requested to keep on his work list the
question of the extra 25 feet in Block 101 for the banks.
The Department of Parks and Recreation should prepare a memorandum to the
City Council giving information regarding the required staffing and the
kinds of programs for Mark IV.
When an item appears on the Council agenda, all materials should be provided
with that agenda even in instances when it has been provided with a previous
agenda.
The City Manager requested the Legal Staff to consider the question of
whether the Council should have to approve personnel changes when these
changes do not exceed the amount budgeted or the number of full-time
employees. This subject will go on the Legal Staff's list for their regular
meeting with the City Manager.
The Administrative Assistant requested each department head to consider
appointments to the Safety Committee.
The Personnel Specialist was requested to review the process for the work-study

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: September ,20, 1976, 10:30 A.M.,
Conference Room, Mayor Neuhauser presiding.
COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Selzer, Foster, Balmer, Neuhauser,
deProsse, Vevera, Perret.
STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: Berlin, Stolfus, Schreiber, Glaves,
Kraft, Jones, Kushnir, Morgan
Mayor Neuhauser asked if there were any questions concerning
the agenda. Councilman Foster advised that in the minutes
for September 7th, it should be recorded that he had left
the meeting after the roll call on the Zuchelli contract,
and the succeeding roll calls should be corrected to reflect
his absence.
URBAN RENEWAL DISCUSSION WITH ZUCHELLI
City Manager Neal Berlin pointed Out that there would be two
items to discuss, (1) parceling for dis there
Plan. Don zuchelli was present for the discussion and (2) the
ex-
plained the Selection Process for Disposition Strategy.
criteria used for a and preferred disposition strategync The
(1) Assure design compatibilityre included:
proximate parcels through aggregation of
contiguous). (parcels might not be physically
(2) Combine contiguous parcels into single offerings to
maximize re -use flexibility.
(3) Provide opportunities for local participation in the
development process (provided
for in the Prospectus).
A. Dispose of land fee simple to a site user.
B- 1. User own site; developer provide building.
2. Limited partnership between user and developer.
(4) Aggregate parcels which are economically linked to
maximize financial yield. Timing and re -uses are
the two key determinates.
(5) Mixed use sites, assure coordinated public policies
and private development (primarily Blocks 83 and 84).
Set public policies, set the number of dollars to be
spent and commission the developer to act on the
City's part. This eliminates confusion of two actors
on a single development. The City would pay for its
design.
(6) Assure two-step disposition process respects appli-
cable laws.
A. On a staged takedown of all land, that the City
acquire all renewal property. Get rid of approval
process with HUD. Hayek advises that it could
be done, and the City Manager and zuchelli will be

working out the financial arrangements. This
should take at least two months, as soon as the
appraisals are done to establish price, and the
City has an acceptable staged funding plan. He
advised that it was in the City's interest to
do this.
B. Dispose through negotiations, respecting Iowa
law for competitive bidding.
(7) Require proposed reuses achieve minimum densities
in a reasonable period of time. Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) standards will be set, also minimum and maxi-
mum densities. Appraisals will be on the minimum
level. Parking and Public improvements will be de-
signed to fit maximum density.
(8) Assure interim parking needs are accommated by dis-
position staging. He explained that a developer
doesn't pay for land until he needs it. A developer
will have an exclusive designation. This gives him
time for pre -leasing, site design and site approval.
The City can use the site in the interim without com-
pensation. He discussed delay in construction, strikes,
weather, etc.
(9) Use designated developer as public agent for inte-
grated development of public facilities and single
sites. He commented that the City is not in the
construction business, and should allow the developer
to carry out public policy that leverages a private
investment response. Cedar Rapids' problem of high
bids was discussed.
The Mayor expressed concern over the financing. Zuchelli ex-
plained that now HUD has to approve each land disposition
agreement. Once the land is transferred to the City under
the re -use appraisals, then that re -use value does not become
a limit. The City can negotiate price, up and down. He pointed
out that for financing, the questions are: (1) how the City
uses CDBG money to pay off the loans, and (2) how the property
is staged and taken down. It was explained that the role of
the Design Review Committee would stay just about like it is
now.
Zuchelli then presented four "cluster" disposition parcels:
(1) Blocks 83 and 84 with College Street vacated in
between, to be sold to a single developer, not
subject to any conditions on limited partnerships.
He is assuming parking in it.
(2) Parcels in Blocks 81, 82, 64, and 65, to be sold
to one developer, subject to limited partnerships
required to insure local participation. If the
developer could not put the partnership together,
the land would revert to the City and would be
offered on a negotiated single parcel basis. After

Council Discussion
September 20, 1976
THE
City Manager Neal Berlin pointed out that the staff position
previously had been to not deal with street closures in the
adoption of the modified plan. After discussions with Zuchelli
and Hayek, they would like to make a change in direction as
indicated by the italicized material in the resolution he
Presented. For the time being, they are recommending that
the street closures,as they appeared in the Plan, remain
that way. They do not feel that they have enough informa-
tion from a legal standpoint as to contractural obligations
or implications for the Environmental Impact Statement that
these should be deleted from the re -use plan.
If the resolution is adopted as amended, the street closures
will remain in the Plan with the addition of Capitol Street
between Burlington and Court St. The City Manager pointed
out that this should not be construed, if the Council accepts
this advice, to place the Council or the staff in a position
of any recommendation concerning the ultimate decision re-
lating to street closures. Zuchelli advised that closures
would be considered in the coming weeks. Traffic informa-
tion is needed. Glaves commented that the Plaza on Capitol
Street in the University area was being deleted because nei-
ther the University or the City wanted to pay for it. The
Mayor stated that the Council agreed on these deletions.
There were no objections. The Resolution will be acted upon
at the meeting on the 28th. This will give the staff a week
to respond to public comments.
The Mayor declared a short recess.
RECRUITMENT FOR BUILDING OFFICIAL
The City Manager advised that the recruiting for the building
Official had presented problems concerning the salary range,
which is $12,000/$18,000. Our top salary is the minimum the
applicants are interested in. They also expect a city car at
their disposal. To employ the caliber of person necessary,
the salary range should be adjusted. The other alternative
was to promote someone within the City to be -responsible to
the City Engineer.
Councilman Vevera stated that his position was to move some-
one up from the department and not change the car policy. The
City Manager and Human Relations Director Candy Morgan dis-
cussed the need to split up the levels for the divisions, as
some have more responsibilities than others.

Police and Fire Departments. Upon roll call Balmer, deProsse,
Foster, Neuhauser, Perret, Selzer, and Vevera voted "aye."
