MEMORANDUM
Date:
October 12, 1993
To: Charlie Denney, Associate Planner
From: Mary Lee Dixon, Property Consultant I-tJ.C-
Re: Maiden Lane Disposition
I am responding to your request to determine the fair market value for a vacated portion of
Maiden Lane. This subject property is shown on the attached survey map.
Typically, sales of similar parcels will provide guidelines for establishing at an acceptable value
for the subject parcel. The attached Exhibit A identifies a number of comparable sales that
have taken place in this geographic area. As you will note, these sales date as far back as
1987. As the chart indicates, there is a wide discrepancy in the sale prices for the properties
listed. This tends to make it difficult to determine the market value of the subject property,
and in turn an acceptable asking price.
As I have mentlone~ In previous memos, the value of such parcels may ba minimal If sold on
the "open market". The size and shape of such parcels tends to affect the value in a negative
way. On the other hand, these parcels can be very valuable to adjacent property owners
since they can be added to existing parcels and, ultimately, provide a larger parcel for building.
parking, etc. (The sales on this attached chart are all sales of land to adjacent property
owners.)
I would suggest that sale #6 and sale #7 be looked at to compute an acceptable sale price for
the subject property. However, I would give more emphasis to sale #7 since It Is a recent
pending transaction. Sale #6 Is dated since it occurred more than two years ago and would
need to be adjusted for inflation.
The subject property is approximately 395 square feet (more or less). If you use sale #7 as
a guideline in establishing a value for the subject, the value would be computed as follows:
395 square feet x $0.90 = $355.50, rounded to $356.00.

imposed under this ~ivision for sources in that subcategory, said federal categorical standards
shall immediately supersede the limitations imposed under this Division. This also applies to
those federal categorical standards promulgated by EPA after adoption of this Ordinance.
(b) Whera the City's wastewater treatment system echieves consistent removal of
pollutants limited by federal pretreatment standards, the City may apply to the Approval
Authority for modification of specific limits In the federal pretreatmant standards. The City may

NEWSPAPER VENDING MACHINE ORDINANCE
After initially supporting the idea for a consistent modular
system for newspaper racks, I've come to the conclusion that we
should not change our practices concerning newsracks in the Plaza,
Each solution seems to cause another set of challenges. The
aesthetics downtown are a matter of taste, When newsracks are
causing a pUblic harm, such as blocking a fire lane or in the path
of foot traffic, then intervention is appropriate, But the modular
racks pose a problem for the individuality, of each publication,
maintenance concerns, initial costs seem high, and I happen to like
the idea of having the publications deciding where in the Plaza,
under certain safety guidelines, they place their racks,
. . I fully understand that this ordinance does not intend to
limit anyone's First Amendment rights, I do think there is
potential for this ordinance to have a practical effect of
limitation, . '
If I were here I would be voting "NO" on this ordinance.

City of Iowa' City
MEMORANDUM
Date: November 22, 1993
To: Honorable Mayor Darrel G, Courtney and Members of the City Council
From: Unda Newman Gentry, City Attorney
Re: Inquiry from Aaron Wolfe, Icon Publisher
Based on my review of Iowa and federal cases dealing with similar questions on the First
Amendment, I offer answers to Inquiries from Aaron Wolfe, Publisher of Icon, In a letter to you
dated November 5, 1993,
1. Will It be possible to give the papers away for free?
Yes.
2. Would a company be able to sell a paper for any price? Yes.
And If not, would that mean the city Is regulating the price of newspapers? N/A
3. What criteria must a newspaper meet to qualify for the lottery?
None, other than apply and pay a small fee,
4. If one newspaper Is eliminated from having a rack, Isn't that a total ban from the
plaza for that paper (I.e, unconstitutional)?
No; this question has been asked by both state and federal courte, and the
answer Is "no.'
5. Can the city guarantee that Increasing fees for rental would never price someone
out of having a rack?
As a practical matter, yes because to do so would be unconstitutional.
6, Does the city realize that application procedures for getting a rack might be harder
for smaller companies to go through than for billion dollar companies like
Gannett?
No, there Is no reason the application process would be at all difficult.
