ROSS 2420 WAYNE IOWA CITY, IOWA To the City Council Iowa City, Iowa 52240 For the most part, I agree with the letter to the Editor by Della A. Grizel, February 22, 1979. Our street, Wayne Avenue, happens to be one of the streets being used for the "experiment". I contacted one of the City Council persons after the street signs were placed and he did not know why we were not contacted for a hearing be— fore the decision was made. When parking was removed from one side in prior years, we were contacted by postcard plus there was adequate notice in the papers. Because we now have parking on only one side, the present restriction in effect removes practically all parking from the street. The removal has already caused us some unnecessary inconvenience recently when we had a guest from Omaha. If the removal of parking was done primarily for snow removal, then I think it could be done as well in another matter. If it were done to remove cars from the streets, then I believe that you are trying for the impossible. (Our guest parked in front of someone elses house on another street). Please reconsider your actions and if there is anything that our neighbor— hood must do to correct the situation, please advise. The Court Street residents seem to do wonders with petitions and attending Council Meetings. is not necessary in this case. hopefully, that BRR/sf Sincerely, Byron R.

MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB (Enna RAVIDS•DE, 1+0lrlEs 2A—lona City Press-Cilizeu—Wednesday, November 15,1978 _C•ity Council enacts partial truck ban on Kirkwood The Iowa City Council voted 42 Tuesday to enact a partial truck em- bargo gn Kirkwood Avenue. ` The Council also held public hear- ings on a controversial grocery and drug store development on North Dodge, and on proposed uses for the final $1.1 million in federal "commu- nity development" funds. Voting against the Kirkwood truck embargo were Mayor Robert Vevera and Councilman Glenn Roberts, who had earlier expressed reservations about the plan. Voting "yes" were Council members Clemens Erdahl, David Perret, Mary Neuhauser and John Balmer. Councilwoman Carol deProsse, who has supported the con- cept of a partial Kirkwood Avenue truck ban, was not at Tuesday's meet- Ing- ; The embargo is intended to ellml- nate large trucks, including concrete and tractor-traller trucks, from the .largely residential Kirkwood Avenue running parallel to Highway e, while allowing smaller trucks, such as Iowa -Mots Gas. and Electric Co. vehicles, to use the street, city offl- cials explained. An Iowa -Illinois ser vice building is at the east end of the embargoed area. The street is to be embargoed,for trucks licensed to carry more than 10 tonsr : The Council asked the city staff to draft the ordinance earlier this fail, after residents of the area com- plained that heavy truck traffic has endangered pedestrians, bicyclists and children playing, driven people indoors during the summer and made sleeping difficult. ' During a hearing on a proposed re- zoning for a planned Hy -Vee Food Store and drug store development on North Dodge, residents of the area spoke both for and against the shop- ping center plans. However, Council members noted that the current zoning proposal will not determine whether the store will be built—but rather the type of shop- ping center development that will occur. Earl er this year, a Council majori. ty failed by one vote to change an existing, two -acre commercial zone on the site to an apartment classifica. tion that would have blocked the go. council roundup eery store plan. Council members had argued that a shopping center at that spot, now an open area on the northwest corner of Highway 1 (North Dodge Street) and North Du- buque Road, would lead to traffic congestion and force the eventual wi. dening of North Dodge through a cur- rently residential area. - Following the failure of the apart- ment rezoning proposal, Hy -Vee an- nounced plans to build a grocery store on the existing, two -acre com- mercial zone, and the Zoning Com- mission reconsidered a previously re- jected Hy -Vee request for a "Planned Commercial Development Plan" that would add the two acres to the existing commercial area and pro- vide for a drug store. Commission member Robert Oge- sen explained Tuesday that the last Commission decision was based on a new city staff study concluding that a neighborhood commercial center "could be supported" by the, sur- rounding trade area and would be "consistent" with the city's new cpm. prehensive plan. Ogesen said the Cqmmisslon deemed the "planned commercial" zoning preferable to what would be MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB I U,;,+ .,4,':',5.:11 . 1!,I built under the existing zoning, be- cause It would allow for a greater setback from the street and would give the city more control over such matters as turning lanes, traffic con- trol and visual screening. But Ogesen's explanations did not satisfy area residents who have bit- terly oppoAd a major grocery store on that entrance to the city. . "It looks like what we feared most is what we're going to get—a shop. ping center up there," said William' 'Gerhard of 1109 Prairie du Chien Road "I hate to see the integrity of a neighborhood destroyed because a big company has the time and the money to keep pushing something," he added. -Hy-Vee Vice President, James Meyer, however, responded with an assurance that the company Is con,-, corned about the neighborhood., "The integrity of the neighborhood Is some. thing we also had in mind in the way we've approached this.

Neil Berlin City Manager Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear IIr. Berlins I would like to say something about the bus situation in Iowa City. With the price of gas going up in the near future, it seems to me that the only solution for most of us is to improve the transit system in Iowa City. I live on WyldeGreen Road (near Ashley Drive). It is a long walk to Benton Street to get the bus. Once I get downtown, I then have to wait for a transfer to Towncrest, which is whore I work. I would ride the bus every day if there was an improvement in this service. I'm sure there are many more people in my situation in Iowa City. Give me a good transportation system and I'll gladly leave my car hemp every day. Since there is quite slot of development in this part of town, it would seem feasible to include the people who live in the Southwest part of Iowa City when planning a future bus system. I I do feel the bus drivers have tried very hard to stay on schedule this winter despite overwhelming odds. The few weeks I have rddden the bus, j I found most of them to be very courteous, though conditions were pretty bad.

No one responded. Blum then called for consideration of the minutes of the meetings of January 29 (informal meeting) and February 1, 1979. The minutes were approved unar:imously as circulated. S-7901. Public discussion of a preliminary and final Large Scale Non -Residential Development plan of ACT testing processing facility, located northwest of Highway 1, south of Interstate 80, and westerly of Howard Johnson's; 45 -day limitation period: waived. Boothroy presented an overlay of the area and explained that the Board of Adjustment had granted variances allowing the number of parking spaces to be decreased from 153 to 96 and allowing a building to be constructed on a lot without frontage on a public street. He further stated that the Commission might consider requiring that ACT Circle be dedicated to the City. Schmeiscr stated that the Board of Adjustment feels that they do not have the authority to designate private streets and drives as "officially approved places". fie further explained that there is nothing in the Subdivision Ordinance regarding "officially approved places" but that the Board of Adjustment has historically made these designations. 41y/ MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS.DES wOtOES Planning and Zoning Commission February 26, 1979 Page 2 Mike Kammerer of Shive-Hattery explained that this item had been brought in with the intention of dedicating the street to the City. He further explained that the street had been built to City standards with the exception of a curb in front of Howard Johnson's. Howard Johnson's, while they have already signed the dedication document, is unwilling to make the necessary improvements to facilitate the dedication. He stated that one option might be to have the City do the improvements and assess the cost back to Howard Johnson's. He further pointed out that Texaco is the only owner that has not yet signed the dedication document. Mr. Kammerer explained that ACT is willing to do the rough grading and seeding to accommodate future expansion of the parking area. A discussion regarding the possible improvements necessary to expedite the dedication of the private street to the City followed. Commissioners were of the opinion that the time has come that the street should be dedicated to the City as a public street. Possible options open to the City regarding this dedication include: (1) having the City provide the improvements and assess the cost back to Howard Johnson's, (2) having ACT pay for the street improvements after the dedication, and (3) having the City pay the costs. Cain moved, and Vetter seconded, that the preliminary and final Large Scale Non - Residential Development plan of ACT testing processing facility be approved with the stipulation that before City Council action an agreement be drawn up by which ACT Circle can be improved, dedicated to the City, and accepted by the City; and contingent upon the signatures of the utility companies being provided and the number of parking spaces being changed in accordance with the Board of Adjustment variance. The motion carried unanimously s -o. S-7903. Public discussion of the final plat of Lyn -Den Heights, Part 2, located one mile north of Interstate 80 and one-quarter mile east on Rapid Creek Road and south one-quarter mile. Boothroy presented an overlay and explained that the final plat is in substantial compliance with the approved preliminary plat and that it is in compliance with the City's Stormwater Management Ordinance. In answer to a question regarding septic tank leeching fields and stormwater basins, Scott Barker, attorney for the developer, stated that the County Board of Health has been consulted and that there is room on the lots for leeching fields. Mr. Barker indicated that in light of the recent action by the City Council in deferring the installation of stormwater management basins in Woodland Hills, Second Addition, which is within the same area, they would be making the same request to the Council. He indicated that the Commission may wish to review that option to forestall delay in referring the matter back to the Commission. Blum called for a vote on the approval of the final plat of Lyn -Den Heights, Part 2. Approval was unanimous.

He further stated that he had been rather upset with the criticism that P$Z had received for making the recommendation. In answer to questions regarding the status of the Commission Bylaws, Blum explained that he has asked that something be done and that staff has prepared a list of the things that Planning and Zoning does. He further stated that he feels after looking at the list that there is not a lot that the Commission does that they are not required to do. He feels that the Commission should wait until something is referred to them before taking further action on the Bylaws. Schmeiser updated progress on the new zoning ordinance, stating that he has completed the parking standards and is back on the Tree Regulations. Hopefully the ordinance will be completed in draft form by July 1. j There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

This action will be taken on or shortly after March 14, 1979. COMMENT: At the present time a "No Parking Corner to Here" prohibition exists in the first 40 feet of this area. This "No Parking Corner to Here" zone is being extended so as to permit the resident at 248 Hutchinson Avenue to have access to and from their drive. This will remove three additional parking stalls from this 200 block of Hutchinson Avenue but will have minimum affect upon street storage for the abutting property owners. jm3/21 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101NE5 FI L r FEBFEB2 8 1979 ,�BBIE STOLFUS CITY CLERK vy z.

Box 168 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Approval of a preliminary and final LSNRD plan To construct a 45,000 square foot building for the purposes of receiv- ing, sorting, assembling, and dis- tributing printed materials for use in ACT's programs Highway 1 and Interstate 80, westerly of Howard Johnson's Approximately 12 acres Undeveloped and CO East - office, motel and CH South - office and ORP West - agricultural and RIB North - Interstate 80 Provisions of the LSNRD and Stormwater Management Ordinances and the Tree Regulations. 2/21/79 Adequate water service is available. Sanitary sewer will be provided by use of septic tank systems. Sanitary service is available as well as police and fire protection. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOVIES zly3 Transportation: Vehicular access is via ACT Circle from Highway 1. Physical characteristics: The topography is gently sloping to steep (2-25 percent). ANALYSIS The applicant proposes constructing a 45,000 square foot building which will serve as a facility for receiving, sorting, assembling and distributing printed materials for use in ACT's programs. The facility is intended to employ up to 43 people at peak periods during large-scale distribution; however, the building will also provide overflow space for registration, test processing, student need analysis, and other work related activities where additional space would be required. The existing zoning (CO) allows the type of use proposed by the applicant as long as not more than 40 percent of the total floor area is used for incidental storage. Access is being proposed to this development via ACT Circle from Highway 1. A portion of this street is already constructed over a private 70 foot wide access easement. The City could not accept the street a portion of which is over a private access easement. In order for the street to be accepted, there needs to be provided certain necessary improvements to the existing paving and right-of- way. The following are the joint recommendations of Engineering, Planning, and Traffic Engineering concerning the subject access road into the ACT site. 1. The north side of the existing street should be brought to City standards. This would include curb with the appropriate curb drops, etc. for the driveways into Howard Johnson's. 2. The hard surface area from the curb to the property line should be removed to allow a grass parking and maintained so no parking would be allowed in this area. The applicant has indicated to the staff the intention to appear before the Board of Adjustment requesting ACT Circle be designated as an officially approved place. By the Board's granting of the applicant's request ACT Circle would remain as a private street and the above improvements would not be required. Rezoning the subject property from CO to ORP per the applicant's request would require providing a front yard of 200 feet and a side yard of 100 feet. The applicant does not feel he can provide the necessary front yard because of an existing utility easement limiting building placement. An appeal to the Board of Adjustment to vary the front yard requirement has been made by ACT. Since the City's sewer is not available for this area, a septic system would be required for development to occur. Care should be taken so that the septic system is not underdesigned and can be expanded if necessary. It is the Engineering Division's recommendation that before approval of the preliminary and final LSNRD plan that the applicant file the septic sewer permit issued by Johnson County Health Department with the City. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 1101RES i 1 3 I RECOMMENDATION Due to the many variables involved, i.e. depending upon whether or not the Board of Adjustment grants one, none, or all of the variances requested and depending upon rezoning of the request area, the staff is unable to make a recommendation at this time. DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES The staff will compile and submit a complete list of deficiencies and dis- crepancies depending upon any variances granted. i ATTACHMENT Location map i ACCOMPANIMENT j Preliminary and final LSNRD plan I / .
