March 5, 1993 To whom it may concern: On March 4, 1993, Marci Thomas presented her ideas about the possibility of a neighborhood coalition at the Northside Neighborhood Board of Directors meeting. Marci proposed a one-time meeting, possibly sponsored by the League of Women Voters. (We would like to suggest that Marcia Klingamen be contacted to coordinate the meeting with the other neighborhood associations.) The goals of this meeting would be to define collective vision planning, discuss common concerns, and share information. The NNA plans to send a representative(s) to attend this meeting to explore the possibilities of a neighborhood coalition. No endorsement or commitment in any way will be made at this time. The representative(s) will report to a subsequent board meeting where the proposal could be further discussed. Sue Feeney ~a NNAPre~ NOTICE: The NNA would appreciate not to be included on any statements or correspondence concerning the coalition unless and until the format and purpose is endorsed by the board and members. 10 U (" '0' ..

RECEIVED MAR 8 - 1993 March 5, 1'393 Honorable City Council Civic Center Washington Street Iowa Ci ty, Iowa The undersigned Bed and Breakfasts have been notified that after March 10, 1993, our garbage service was going to cease because the City is changing our property classification from residential to commercial (see enclosed copies of letter dated 2/24/93 from Floyde Pelkey, Assistant Superintendent of Solid Waste, and 2/25/93 from Dianna Donahue, Customer Service Manager for the City of Iowa City). We would like to respectfully ask the Honorable City Council to reconsider this decision based on the following: 1. Even though business is conducted are also our private residences. our residences as mandated by the Bed and Breakfasts. in our homes, they Our homestays are in state guidelines on 2. Because of limited space and state guidelines, each Bed and Breakfast rents up to only two (2) families at a time. There is usually one to two garbage cans per week, which is less than many neighbors' garbage. 3. We do not have advertising signs on our properties. 4. Stopping the service would impose a hardship upon the innkeepers in that our private homes would not receive garbage pickup. 5. There are many residential businesses in Iowa City which advertise in a variety of ways, including yellow pages, business cards, signs, brochures, newspaper ads, mailing, etc. These businesses include sales of designer clothes, fabrics, and accessories, art, costL~e Jewelry, direct sales of cosmetics, household products, management consultation, tax services, chiropractic service, and others. Bed and Breakfasts are only one of many types of business run out of private homes. 6. Our small businesses catch some of the overflow of visitors to Iowa City wh,) would otherwise have to, go to neighboring communities when Iowa City hotels are full. This provides a service to Iowa City and its economy since such people's lodging dollars, as well as more of their shopping and restaurant dollars, stay in Iowa City rather than going to other communities. 111 ~...--' ~ --- \ I i ! 1 , " ~ , t1 ~ ! ;, I' I " " i II ~ ~ I I I y-.- . .. .----..~-.....~ ., ----, ,. ...

CITY OF IOWA CITY Dear Ms. Owen: It was brought to our attention that a bed and breakfast business is being operated from your residence. This changes your property from residential to commercial. The city of Iowa city does not provide refuse service to a commercial property. Also, the state of Iowa requires a 5% sales tax on sewer and solid waste (refuse) collection when these services are being provided to nonresidential commercial operations. The refuse services and charges to this property will end as explained in the enclosed letter from the Superintendent of Solid Waste. Your next billing will reflect refuse charges to that date and the appropriate State of Iowa sales taxes on sewer and refuse services. We will assess the 5% State of Iowa sales tax on water and sewer charges on the future billings to this account. If you have questions concerning this action, please contact me at 356-5065.

Dubuque Street Iowa City, IA 52245 To the City of Iowa City City Council My family has lived in Iowa City for many years. We were here when Iowa was still a territory. My family members have included farmers, doctors, ministers, business people, University professors, and even one of the University of Iowa Presidents, Dr. Rev. Oliver Spencer. My roots run deep. The love I have for this town runs deep. I love the land, the trees, the river. I support Iowa City and the wonderful diversity of the people in it. I have watched our town grow and change. Some months ago, I posted deer crossing signs on North Dubuque Street. I did this after a request for deer signs, which was made well over a year ago by my family to Mr. Bractel, and then recently by myself to one council member, was denied, Perhaps I went about it wrong and made some mistakes. I never intended it to become a "fight" with the city. The deer crossing signs are a must and I thank you for placing them on North Dubuque Street. \ More has to be done, however, as cars speeding along this street are still slaughtering the deer. Add to the police reports because more deer are being hit than are being reported, as I have witnessed this. The deer are not always killed, but flee badly injured into the woods where I'm sure they die later. Cars stop to check damage, then leave without reporting the accident. Last week a red. tailed hawk was struck and killed by a car on North Dubuque Street, a car obviously going too fast, The hawk, so special, so protected by law, that to pluck a feather from it would be illegal. I am requesting traffic lights be put up at Foster Road and North Dubuque Street. This will help slow traffic down and will also benefit the growing number of people using Foster Road. In addition, I would like to request wildlife fencing be considered in the area north of Foster Road. Although deer cross on North Dubuque Street as far south as Kimball Road, traffic can be slowed by the requested traffic light in that area, If cost would be the only problem with the wildlife fencing, I would personally volunteer to be head of the fund raising. To show respect for our wild brothers and sisters, the deer, is showing the love for life that lives in our city. Although our city grows, we must not become callous to those who were here before us.

".- ~ Jwrti 5, 1993 Larry & Marge Olesen 2662 Concord Circle Iewa City, IA 52245 To: Members Of The Iowa City, City Council: Mr, Larson: I am writing this letter to you the City Council, with the opportunity for you to remedy a wrong, If need be, please direct me to pursue the appropriate Government Official, or Government Agency to resolve this and to prevent future incidents. It appears to me that the ci ty bureaucracy needs to exercise control and show power even I;hen it is contrary to demonstrated community needs! Logic and good sense does not seem to have a place among the zoning ordinances ond I hope you find this as disturbing as I do, Specifically the city has shared the major expenses l;ith me to make my duplex an affordable, top quality rental, The program was successful, ond I and my tenants are thankful, The city also helped the bottom uoit become a class A handicapped unit, and this type property is In short supply, another successful program, You can't imagine the shock when that same city ordered me to throw out half of my renters! You (the city) did and so I sought legal council, and had four different lawyers at a cost of thousands of (non productive) dollars advise me to protect myself and my property as well as the rights of the tenants, I was fined by the city, then lined by the court and had court costs and Attorney fees on top of that, I was further ordered to throw out one of my tenants, I read the paper and see cDuntless articles on the need of affordable housing, and then experience a city that is interested in control. My wife and I purchased, upgraded and maintained a duplex at 619 N. Johnson since December 1989, The property on all four sides of me are multiple use dwellings, My property has a total of three people livillg in it, the dOlmstairs a single handicapped who has resided since before I purchased the property, Few properties in this area have such a low occupancy. At my request, the city placed a handicapped parking zone in close proximity to the duplex and the handicapped tenant enjoys the benefit of this zone, even though it I s not excJ liS i ve. Because of the ci ty I S actions I I l;ill be forced to sell the propert)' at a substantial loss, A single individual could not afford the rents required to maintain the prope~ty, A portion of the eitv monies used to improve the property would have to be repaid. 'This h'hole situation, I believe, reflects vel')' poorl)' on our local government, ~/l/ ~ '-- lUll _ III J 1 UJllM1tLlI(\IIIIf1mJ'fMI.... .... -- - :',:.: -"1' ~", ,;i!f:, ,,>:, ,:~'",,: ,',.:',,' ",j,:, ":.-:,:' ~:.A I..' \ ,'I!\ L.: . ,f \.1 : . . ;',',.;:"~" J , '" '.~.

B. The handicapped individual has offered the owner his meager savings to continue to fight the government and save his home! ***Property in compliance with current Fair Market Rents as established by HUn, has been ordered to be taken off of the rental market. A. This is after thousands of taxpayers dollars have been used to help update the propert,' and help keep the rents affordable. ***Citizen fined, protecting his property from city. A, At the same time, a swindler who broke the city law remains unpunished, because of his relative insolvency and the city does nothing on this issue, ***Sensibility, A. I have spent thousands of dollars in legal fees and many hours to combat the Iowa City Bureaucracy, The details of the activity are too long to address in a letter, The cit), has been involved in spending taxpayer dollars and inspecting my property on numerous occasions throughout my ownership. lih)"? If the bureaucracy and other cit,' inspectors can't communicate and work with each other, what is the average citizen supposed to do? The community leaders, e.g" our elected City Council, is in, or can be in a position to intercede and let sanit)" and good judgement prevail. M)' investment propert)' is located at 619 N, Johnson and I invite )"ou to view the property, the tenants and the neighbors, If you have taken the time to read this, whether or not )"ou agree with m)" appeal, I applaud )"ou and am thankful to you being a true representative of )'our communit)', After the court decision I've decided to seek your help and too pursue this issue as long as time and resources permi t me.
