I asked for this meeting in order that I may have a better understanding of their plans, not only with respect to the potential relocation of their church out of downtown, but also what was planned with respect to the sale of the property immediately south of the current Church/rectory. The land in question is approximately 48,000 sq. ft. and includes a parking lot and the Church parish hall, where services are currently held. While they have not settled on a formal procedure for the sale of this property, they did share with me that it has an estimated value of between $2.5 and $3 million. I thanked them for the information and asked that we (the City) be kept informed. I further indicated to them it would appear at this time that the City would not be in a position to express any serious interest in the purchase of this property for city purposes. I have made the assumption the site, if purchased by the City, could be the possible location of a new parking garage in support of the continued redevelopment of the area south of Burlington. If we were to pursue the financing of this purchase I believe there are a number of options/circumstances you need to consider. 1. It would require the sale of General Obligation debt (which in turn requires a referendum). We have sufficient General Obligation debt capacity, but I would expect that our bond counsel would advise if a referendum is necessary. 2. We could use cash from our General Fund reserves. I do not recommend this use, simply given the fact of the volatility of the relationship between the state's funding of cities and our ability to respond to a dramatic reduction in state financing. The use of our reserves allowed us to "ride out" the last state elimination of various funding programs to our General Fund. 3. We could consider a possible increase in parking rates, but after a review of the parking fund it would seem a dramatic increase in rates (we recently did increase rates) would not be practical. The overall financial position of the parking fund is generally good, but the ability to absorb a large debt payment ($3 million +\- to buy the land, $10 million +\- to build a new parking ramp) make it substantially impractical for us to pursue parking revenue bond financing. 4. There is a further possibility the University may be considering construction of parking facilities in the area of Burlington and Capitol Streets. This could relieve some of the demand on our facilities and thereby provide additional parking opportunities. Until we know this information, the purchase of this site does not seem prudent. The staff will be undertaking an update of the 1997 Parking Study to evaluate changes in parking supply and demand with changes in development. October 23. 2006 Page 2 At this time I believe the City's current and projected financial position makes the consideration of purchase of the 51. Patrick's parking lot/parish hall site impractical.

At the work session October 16th, a majority of the City Council agreed with the goals of increasing the supply of affordable units and dispersing those units throughout the community. Three members felt the additional information to be made available through a proposed study to substantiate and define the need for affordable units was necessary prior to concurring with these goals. The staff was directed to proceed to engage a consultant to document the need for affordable housing units for income groups up to and including 120% of median income. This documentation will include data from the metro area broken down by city and will cover a study of the following: . development patterns in terms of frequency and size of projects, . numbers of households within the income groups noted, . numbers of cost burdened households within these income strata (cost burdened being defined as expending more than 30% of income on housing rent or mortgage, taxes, insurance, and utilities, . units available by price, and . an analysis of the unmet need for affordable units by income strata. The metro area is defined as Iowa City, University Heights, Coralville, North Liberty and Tiffin. A more detailed study outline to be incorporated in a Request for Proposal (RFP) will be prepared by the staff and made available to the Housing Alliance for comment. The next item the Council will see regarding this issue will be an authorization of the RFP prior to its mailing to prospective consultants and general publication. Council generally expressed a desire to explore this topic with other governmental entities in the area but agreed not to delay research on affordability questions. An item has been placed on the agenda for the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board for the Oct. 25th meeting. An item can also be placed on the agenda of the next quarterly joint governments meeting on January 10.

Green Company completed an Alterative Wind Energy study that evaluated the feasibility of installing wind powered generators at a variety of city facilities. The findings of the report indicated that we do not have sufficient wind to make such a project economically feasible. We recently worked with Lee Vannoy and AI Goldberg of the Iowa DNR, Energy and Waste Management Bureau to update the study to reflect improvements in technology and wind data. The updated data reaffirms that wind generation is not a good fiscal option for the City of Iowa City. The updated data supports the H.R. Green study's findings that payback is in the 30+ year range. At this time we do not believe it is prudent to pursue development of wind power at our facilities. Perhaps as technologies continue to improve, wind generation may become economically feasible in this part of the state, but at this time it is not. However, we believe opportunities exist for productive use of the methane gas produced at the landfill and perhaps more efficient use of methane gas produced at our wastewater treatment facility. We recommend pursuing these opportunities for green energy production. __.__~"_M___'_____________"_'___""'__"_"__'~__'__."..__"_.,___..__.... .-.--------------.-------.".--.-- - -------. -..-,.--"---.-.--,-..-.-.------...-.,---~---,.----------.-..----..--..-.-~..- TO: FROM: DATE: RE: City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM ~ Steve Atkins, City Manager Chris O'Brien, Parking Manager~~ October 18, 2006 Moped/Scooter Parking ~{})1 U~~ CL~ In response to the increase in mopeds and scooters being parked in downtown Iowa City, the Parking Division made changes to enforcement as well as designating alternative places to park. These changes were made in order to address issues that were arising at bicycle racks in downtown Iowa City. Our enforcement of mopeds/scooters has been to issue a citation to any vehicle not located "in" a bicycle rack, meaning that the front wheel of the vehicle must be within the boundary of the bicycle rack. The citation is a $10.00 fine with an escalation to $15.00 if not paid within 30 days. Over the past year we had designated free parking in an area at the East entrance to the Capital Street Garage for up to 17 motorcycles, mopeds, or scooters. This area is located just south of the parking access control equipment in non-revenue space within the garage. As usage has increased we have designated additional space just north of the parking access control equipment at that same entrance. This area can hold up to 13 motorcycles, mopeds and scooters. In order to continue to accommodate the use of alternative vehicles, we are currently in the process of designating space at the West entrance of the Capital Street Garage which will be able to hold an additional 15 motorcycles, mopeds or scooters. In addition, we will be adding parking for these vehicles at the West entrance of the Dubuque Street Garage. This area will be able to hold 10-15 motorcycles, mopeds or scooters. As a result of our enforcement efforts and addition of parking alternatives, we have noticed less congestion around bicycle racks, especially in the area adjacent to the intersection of Clinton Street and Iowa Avenue.

Iowa 52240-1826 (319) 356-5000 (319) 356-5009 FAX www.icgov.org Re: Lexington Avenue traffic barricade Dear Residents: Last spring the City re-installed the traffic calming barricade on Lexington Avenue near the intersection with McLean Street. You will recall that the agreement worked out between the neighborhood and the City Council states that the barricade will be in place for three seasons and removed during the winter. We specifically have established that the barricade will be removed when the City installs snowplows on City trucks, and reinstalled when the snowplows are taken off. The purpose of this letter is to inform you tMt City crews will remove the barricade along with the warning signage on Lexington Avenue the week of November 20th, weather permitting. City crews will reinstall the barricade next spring. If you note an increase in reckless operation of vehicles on Lexington Avenue, you should contact the Iowa City Police Department at their routine business number, 356-5275. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

ôúüùÖËÎÈÍÜÚÉÔÇÔÉÄËØÍÎËÉ ~ CITY OF IOWA CITY QUARTERL Y INVESTMENT REPORT July 1, 2006 to September 30, 2006 Finance Department Prepared by: Brian Cover Senior Accountant OVERVIEW The City of Iowa City's investment objectives are safety, liquidity and yield. The primary objective of the City of Iowa City's investment activities is the preservation of capital and the protection of investment principal. The City's investment portfolio remains sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet operating requirements that cash management procedures anticipate. In investing public funds, the City's cash management portfolio is designed with the objective of regularly exceeding the average return on the six month U.S. Treasury Bill. The Treasury Bill is considered a benchmark for riskless investment transactions and therefore comprises a minimum standard for the portfolio's rate of return. The rolling average return on the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill for the prior 365 days was 4.56% at 9/30/06. The investment program seeks to achieve returns above this threshold, consistent with risk limitations and prudent investment principles. The rate of return on the City's portfolio for the quarter was 4.93%. Investments purchased by the City of Iowa City for the third quarter of this year were 92 basis points higher than the threshold. Rates on new investment purchases in our operating cash portfolio for the second quarter were approximately 127 basis points higher than investments purchased at this time last year. The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks lend to each other. The Federal Reserve maintained the target of the federal funds rate at 5.25% during the third quarter. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 400 basis points since June 2004. The quarterly investment report lists investments by fund, by institution, by maturity date, and investments purchased and redeemed. New official state interest rates setting the minimum that may be paid by Iowa depositories on public funds in the 180 to 364 day range during this quarter were 3.55% in July 2006, 3.60% in August 2006 and 3.60% in September 2006.

'^""~. . ,~~~'~~~: . ; Collaborative efforts help for quick r~ On the evening of April 13, 2006, strong winds, thunder- storms and tornados blew through the eastern half of the state, creating enormous damage in many communities, Especially hit hard, Iowa City started the recovery process minutes after the storm passed, Io\va City \vas hit with five tornados that evening \vith little \varnmg. The damage the storms created displaced some citi- zens, University of Imva Students and local businesses. Several buildings \vere damaged or completely torn dovvn. Downtown Iovva City was a mess, but thanks to the countless efforts and prepcucdncss of the organizations that responded, no one \vas seriously injured and the road to recovery began immediately. Steve Atkins, City Manager for Iowa City, first got a call from Fire Chief Andy Rocca, shortly after things settled down. Rocca and Police Chief Sam Hargadinc, 'were working at the main station downtown, responding to calls and doing call backs; many of the calls being from citizens who smelled gas. Atkins met them there as soon as possible, taking back roads as some main streets ,vere blocked. Others involved in the initial response included Iowa City's public \vorks director, Rick fossc; assistant city manager, Dale Helling, and workers from Johnson County. It was a Thursday night, vvhich is popular for bar patrons, and the crew went door to door at dmvntown businesses, ask- ing them to shut dmvn for the evening. "Everybody \vas so cooperative," Atkins said. Atkins also witnessed the raw reactions from residents. "There was just so much disbelief among residents; it was a '[ very sobering experience. \Vhen we decided to block off the streets, \ve had no problems \vith on-lookers." The fire department \'vent around the damaged area doing rescue \vark and making sure there \,vefl' no gas leaks and no - immediate danger from the many grounded utility poles. "There wefe lrees on houses and people \vere found in their basements, but everyone was okay," Atkins said. The universi- ty set up temporary housing in the Memorial Union for stu- dents who were displaced by thc storm, That evening, the public \vorks department worked on a clean-up plan, which began early the next mOfning. Daylight brought several calls from citizens wanting to volunteer, The National Guard arrived that day as well and clean-up was underway. The landfill was open free of charge for the next several dJyrs. The city engineering department was extremely helpful \vith clean-up and planning for rebuilding. Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (rEM A) arrived on Saturday and provided informa- tion for disaster relief funding. Together, people from various organizations "varked for weeks to dean up debris and start repairs. Only one person was injured during clean-up efforts, A Cedar Falls employec fell and broke a leg, Because of the Iowa Mutual Aid Assistance Compact the cities had already arranged who would be responsible for the claim, 'i J ,/ - At right and below: Workers and equip- ment came from many places to aide in the recovery effort after tornadoes hit Iowa City last spring. Assistance came from city workers, county workers, the National Guard, FEMA and volunleers from all over the area. -- recovery by Kelly Amenson Communications Coordinator There was just so much disbelief among residents; it was a very sobering experience." Steve Atkins City Manager, Iowa City Today While much of the damage has already been repaired, more is still being done today. The roofs over the city hall and recreation center are tClnporarily fixed but may need to be replaced and a window in the recre- ation center needs to be repaired. Most glass is replaced in a parking garage that had the \vindmvs all blown out. Traffic signals have been replaced and public property is I1mv in good shape. A tree planting pro- gram began to help replace some 140 trees that "V ere uprooted during the storm. One thing that Atkins said he vvould have done differently was to ask the bars to remain closed the following night. Conditions in downto\vn \vere still some"\vhat risky; however, areas where safety was a major con- cern were still blocked off. Preparation is key for any major disaster; although it is impossible to knovv \vhat to expect. A storm that passed through the area in 1998 gave the city a disaster plan and which they used parts of to recover from the 2006 tornados. Even with the careful planning, Atkins says most of the reaction was instinctive. "Everybody just knew what had to be done," he said. With the city response, combined with help from the county, FEMA, the National Guard and countless volunteers, this was truly a collabora- tive effort from many organizations. When entities work together and planning is done, a lot can get done in an effectivc and efficient manncr when disaster strikes. ~ ... -...

Due to popular demand, a second edition of the AARP Activities Directory was printed for Johnson County AARP by the National AARP offices in Washington, D.C. These fine quality slick bound books are larger and heavier than the original version. They are available at the AARP offices, at various libraries and other Johnson County area offices. This was a new project for the Johnson County Chapter, made possible by a $500 grant from the Johnson County Board of Supervisors in January of this year. We quickly ran out of au. first 1,100 copies and the state AARP office came to our rescu, arranging for a 2nd printing. The book lists hundreds of "things to do" to meet most all interests. These are identified with information on where, how much, what it's all about, who to contact and "can I park there?" or "get there on the bus ?" Remember to thank the Johnson County Board of Supervisors for making this project possible in the first place and, thanks now to National AARP for providing the second printing. On. going changes are noted in the updated version continuing to be available on the Board of Supervisors Web Site. The ANNUAL AARP CHRISTMAS PARTY has become a fond tradition for the Johnson County AARP Chapter This year's party will be on Monday December 4th at 2 PM at the Iowa City Senior Center.

"No one can accuse The Johnson County Consortium on Successful Aging of being lazy. Over the last three years, the group has produced a series of reports - on transportation, housing, successful aging and supportive services - that identify the needs of the county's senior population and evaluate how those needs could be met. "If nothing else, the consortium's members have managed to change the nature of community planning conversations. Rather than having senior issues be an afterthought in such discussions, suddenly questions of how the county can better serve its aging population are becoming an essential part of the process. "The dedication and enthusiasm of the consortium's members paid off Tuesday when more than 130 people gathered as part of a Livable Communities planning session hosted by the consortium and the University of Iowa Center for Aging. Led by Elinor Ginzler, the national director of AARP's Livable Communities Initiative, the goal was to identify those sectors in which Johnson County could improve the quality of life for its seniors and to make a workable plan for how those sectors could be improved in the next six to 12 months. "The planning session lasted only two hours, and the results were an impressive winnowing of the perspectives of local government officials and community leaders in education, faith-based organizations, health, housing, transportation and recreation. The three main areas of concern _ information management, barriers to affordable housing and ensuring that seniors understand the benefits of a healthy lifestyle -- might sound a little vague to anyone who hasn't participated in the discussion, but the energy the participants brought to the discussion gives hope that the result will be something more than mere talk."

AARP Iowa provided Becky Groff, State Associate Director of Community Service to work with the Consortium in the planning and execution of this 3 For more information: contact Bob Welsh, welshbob<Olaol.com or 354-4618. - "BUILDING LIVABLE COMMUNTIES" We were very pleased to be able to have Bill Novelli, Chief Executive Officer of AARP National, as the Keynote Speaker at our May 23n1 "Livable Communities' event, part 'of our AARP chapter's Older Americans Month celebration - "AGING WITHOUT LIMITS". Speaking to a packed house at the Coralville Holiday Inn, Novelli noted that it is hardly surprising that, year after year, when we ask people where they want to live as they age, they say, "In my home." They do not want to live with relatives, in a nursing home or in an assistec living facility. "My home" is the preference of nearly 9C percent of people SO and older. Iowa chapter members and volunteers are to be complimented for their hard work making Iowa City and surrounding Johnson County more livable for aging residents. Noting the work of the Johnson County Consortium on Successful Aging, Novelli reasoned that together we have put together a blueprint for making th. area a strong community for successful aging. He went on to say..."in creating livable communities for people SO and older, we will create them for all. We are committed to developing such places because we value the ability to age with control over and choices about the way we live." The case for livable communities will be made, and won, by the growing ranks of Americans who are discovering that aging isn't someone else's issue. It's everyone's. By building these livable communities, we will make our national community a far better place for us all." NOTE: We ore grateful to AARP Iowa's state director Bruce Koeppl for arranging Bill Novelli's visit to Johnson County.

The Older Iowans legislature is a non-profit Iowa corporation whose primary purpose is to improve the quality of life of Iowa's Seniors. The organization's special emphasis is on the most frail elderly who have contributed much to our society, but have exhausted their resources and are in need of assistance to lead meaningful lives. Oil is divided into 9 Districts. The South- East District, of which Johnson County is a part, is led by District chair Jean Oxley. The South-East District is the largest and most active and powerful in the state (naturally). Membership in Oil is $25 a year. www.olderiowans.ora Older Iowans legislature 5835 Grand Ave- 5te 106 - Des Moines, IA 50312 A Local AARP National Dav of Service Proiect: "Fill 'er Up! - 3,285 pounds worth" This Annual AARP National Day of Service Event was observed locally on May 2()fh with a highly publicized Food Collection for the Crisis Center. Iowa City Councilman Bob Elliott and Board of Supervisor Terrance Neuzil agreed to Co-Chair this event and and worked massive hours publicizing and securing donations in the Johnson County Community for this endeavor. Throughout the area, many individuals, businesses and service clubs participated in rounding up donations.

Have you seen the big black AARP van with the "DON'T VOTE sign? (it was in Iowa City on October 2nd.) The Don't Vote campaign is urging us all to "don't vote....until you find out where the candidates stand on the issues !" To help learn where the candidates stand, AARP has sponsored several forums this fall including one with the four candidates for the two County Board of Supervisors positions that are to be filled in November. Sally Stutsman (I), Larry Meyers, Alan Curry and Richard Benn took part in the BOS forum. Iowa House and Iowa Senate candidates who are facing opposition in their candidacy took part in a later form. This included Joe Bolkcom (I) and Jay Christensen-Szalanski; Sandra Greiner (I) and Mark Nolte; Jeff Kauffman (I) and Clara Oleson; and David Miller (I) and Becky Schmitz. Our October forum featured 2nd Congressional District candidates Jim Leach (I) and David Loebsack. All events were televised for later rebroadcast by the capable Ty Coleman and the CATV staff. AARP Iowa has also provided several opportunities for Voter Education, supporting member allendance at Des Moines events including two opportunities to allend gubernatorial forms. Following the elections on November 7'h, look for increased activity on the part of AARP, Heritage Area Agency on Aging and the Older Iowans Legislature as they seek to make the newly elected officials properly aware of the various areas of senior need that are crying for legislative allention and action. Consider being part of the solution...and join in with these bodies. Iowa State AARP makes a number of opportunities for participation easy and available - even picking up the expenses of any trips to Des Moines. YOUR work and support is needed! 6 \\ '.. ,- .'

A Special tribute to a special guy....was held on Oct. 2nd to help long time people-advocate Bob Welsh celebrate his 8()1h birthday. Johnson County Public Health's Ralph Wilmoth and Sher Hawn conspired with our local AARP and Task Force on Aging members and the staff of the Senior Center to put together a surprise party. Speakers at the event included AARP Associate State Director of Community Service Becky Groff, BOS Chairman Mike Lehman and Heritage Agency Director Liz Selk. June Braverman wrote special words to the old Showboat tune...newly titled "Just Our Bob" - duly performed by pianist/vocalist Merrill Sparks. An AARP chorus had wanted to sing it. That didn't really work. It would probably be best that the singers don't give up their day jobs! As most of you know, Bob has a many decades long history of providing volunteer services to people of all ages in the Johnson County community, the larger Iowa community and the state of Iowa. He has long been active in Senior issues...f,om the time he was THE instrumental person in getting the contract and financing for the building of Ecumenical Towers to the present in his current work as chair of the Consortium on Successful Aging in Johnson County.....as he works with colleagues to make Johnson County a first choice as a truly Livable Community in Iowa and the mid-west. A Tribute to AARP MEMBER Merrill Sparks Anyone who frequents Senior Dining at the Iowa City Senior Center site has experienced the musical pleasure Merrill Sparks provides entertaining diners at the piano. Merrill also played for AARP at the July Ice Cream Social and at anOctober birthday party. Did you know that Merrill holds a 50 year pin as member of the Hollywood Musicians Union? .....that Merrill took an Merrill took an early degree here at UI......that Merrill is also an avid composer....that he was asked to play an original composition at a new Campus building dedication at Simpson College in June ????? Merrill is a talented pianist whose career was in the music and entertainment entertainment world. We are fortunate indeed that he continues to share his time and talent with us. Thanks for all you do, Merrill! - Membership Dues Due Date Debated- Our Membership Committee has been looking for a way to make the AARP dues collection more efficient understandable for all. For the past several months, this has been discussed at Board and General Membership meetings. Under the current system, almost every member has a different dues renewal date. Record keeping was cumbersome and complicated. Members often were unsure of when their dues were due. The Membership committee felt that should be an easier way to do this job. Finally...in September....a proposal to have a uniform date for dues renewal was voted in. Dues renewal date will be on June 1 of each year with the starting implementation of this new system to be June 1, 2007. Memberships that, in the past or in the future, have been paid for more than one year will be handled on an individual basis. Thanks are due to Betty McKray, Edith Hargrave and Irvin Pfab - who are working on the Membership Committee. The Membership Committee also serves as the nominations committee. They will be looking for leadership for our Chapter come Spring. Please consider offering your services!!! Nominations are made at the March meeting. 7 Community Changtlgents: "Aging Without Limits"; Older Americans Month '06 Johnson County AARP sponsored about 64 events in the biggest AARP volunteer event for DAM in the country. Some 118 area businesses, organizations and agencies offered support, help and donations. Project Director June Braverman pulled off an almost unbelievable success in this beautifully planned and executed series of activities recognizing seniors throughout all of the Johnson County Area. Marilyn Jensen and Gen & Jay Taylor all deserve joint I" prizes for the multiple events in which they volunteered their labor as helpers and hosts. A big part of the success were the literally hundreds of hours some 231 + volunteers put in to make this happen. These local volunleers included 42 members of our local chapler. We are sure to miss some, but our lisling of people helping includes the following: ( " denotes locol AARP chopter member - T. = 42) 1. JanAllan 2. Nancy Albertson 3. Kathy Anderson 4.

Recommend the council approve the TIF development agreement for National Genecular Institute. 2. Recommend the council to support the CEBA application for National Genecular Institute. CALL MEETING TO ORDER Chairperson Bailey called the meeting to order at 9:02 AM. DISCUSSION OF APPLICATION FOR CEBA FUNDS-NATIONAL GENECULAR INSTITUTE Dr. Tannin Fuia gave an overview of the proposed project. He said Dermacia, parent company of the applicant company NGI, is a customized pharmaceutical company specializing in skin care products and post surgical skin treatments. National Genecular Institute (NGI) is a fully owned research and development (R&D) subsidiary of Dermacia. He noted that Dermacia is headquartered in Newport Beach, California, and seeks to locate NGI in the Iowa City/Coralville area. Fuja said Dermacia markets themselves via info-commercials, direct solicitations and physician's offices. Fuja stated they have two product lines. One is a prescription and one is an over-the-counter version of the same. He noted they have an established distribution line in Dermacia. He added that as NGI develops skin-related products, there will be an instant interested party to license the products, and a way to get their products to market faster than most R&D companies: through Dermacia. Fuja said they are working with the City of Coralville and tM University of Iowa to construct a facility they would lease at the Oakdale Research Park. He noted that t~ey are also seeking to buy land in .Iowa City to build a second facility that will house a biobank and mor, facilities for cell research and administrative functions. Fuja said they are looking at the property located In the Northgate Corporate Park, and are also securing an option to buy 30+ acres of adjacent land. He stated that NGI has already developed products that ar~ licensed to Dermacia and that they have just entered into clinical trials on a face wound healing product. /!'uja said they focus on devices, research and nano delivery which will be located in the Oakdale Rese~rch Park, as well as biobanking which will happen in Iowa City. Fuja explained that a biobank is a depository of genetic and !cellular materials which are linked to updated medical history of donors. He said the future of customii'ed medicine is based on having biological samples of people for whom a customized product is dev~loped. Fuja said a biobank is tremendously important from a research standpoint and from the development of customized pharmaceuticals. Fuja said the largest biobank in existence is located in the U~. He added that they have studied the UK facilities and will build theirs to surpass them in size and in ~cope. Fuja said NGI has developed a system to immortalize cells. He explained that when a sample is colllected, it can be used until it is exhausted. He said that in culture, cells typically continue to divide for a series of cycles and then stop dividing. With the immortalization of a cell system, as NGI plans to create, the cells continue to divide without incorporating genetic anomalies, and thus, produce an infinite source of c~lIular and genetic material. Economic Development Committee Minutes September 19, 2006 Page 2 Fuja said they have a fully automated process which allows them to bank hundreds of thousands of samples. Fuja said that they will be providing genetic material for other biotech companies as well as for NGl's research. He said they have a number of pharmaceutical companies that are very interested to see the success of the biobank. He said that without the ability to immortalize the cells the biobanks are not attractive enough to pharmaceutical companies for investment because of the finite resources of cells available. However, with the ability to immortalize cells and link with updated medical histories, the biobank becomes an important key to the scientific processes. Fuja said that in January 2007 they will occupy an interim space made avaiiable by the University of Iowa until the new Oakdale building is completed. He said within the same time frame they will be purchasing the land in the Northgate Park and building the biobank. He said the facilities need to work jointly; one can not exist without the other. Fuja said that it is a unique opportunity to involve both the City of Coralville and City of Iowa City in this project. He noted that they will create a total of 178 jobs, out of which 36 will be in Iowa City. Fuja said the cost for the Iowa City portion of the project is expected to be around $11 million dollars and that they seek a $1.2 miilion economic development grant from Iowa City is in the form of TIF rebates. Eiliot asked about tax credits Fuja had mentioned and Raso explained the state of Iowa's high quality job creation program allows for the rebates of sales and use tax spent on the construction of the facility. Eiliot asked why the company is choosing to locate in the state of Iowa and specifically in the Iowa Cityl Coralville area. Fuja said the University of Iowa is the main draw for locating to the area. He said they have developed a positive relationship with the University. Ford asked if the company is considering other locations and Fuja said they are, but if they have a positive response from the state of Iowa on their CEBA application, they are prepared to move forward in Iowa. Bailey inquired about animal research and asked Fuja to describe the extent of and security for such research. Fuja said they employ the highest security standards and said their research calls for the use cell samples from rabbits, mice and dogs. Bailey asked about the creation of high quality jobs. Ford said the draft TIF agreement requirements includes the creation of 36 jobs in Iowa City by the end of the third year of operation, as outlined in the CEBA application. Raso said that all state-approved applications meet or exceed the benefits requirement of the City. Ford said the requested $1.2 million economic development grant in the form of TIF rebates on a $6 million building would amount to $188,940 per year and be completed within seven years from the first rebate. Bailey asked when the valuation date would be. Ford said she will confirm, but November 2008 will be the initial valuation date, with the first assessment in January, 2009 and the first rebate paid in June, 2010. MOTION: Champion moved to recommend the council approve the development agreement. Elliot seconded the motion. Responding to Champion, Raso said there is always an element of risk involved in supporting a new company, however Iowa City is mitigating their risk because the company has to fulfill its obligations before they are eligible to receive any benefit. Raso said that the State of Iowa and the City of Coralville will be providing dollars "up front" and therefore are taking a much greater risk. Answering a question posted by Elliott, Fuja said Dermacia is 7 years old. He said the company started with a product called Lipo gel that allow for healing for post cosmetic surgery. He noted that the success of the product propelled the company forward. Fuja stated that at present the company is doing about $1 million a month in revenue. The motion passed 3:0. Economic Development Committee Minutes September 19, 2006 Page 3 MOTION: Elliot moved to recommend the council to support the CEBA application. Champion seconded the motion. Motion passed 3:0. Raso said that any documentation from the current meeting should be sent to Mike Farley as quickly as possible. He added that the IDEO board wanted to see the Committee's approval and recommendation to the Council. COMMITTEE TIME NONE ADJOURNMENT The meeting adjourned at 9:37 A.M.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL Recommend the council approve the TIF agreement with the Hieronymus Square Associates. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - Sept. 5. 2006 Bailey noted the word ladder should be changed to lever on page three of the Sept. 5 minutes. MOTION: Champion moved to approve the September 5, 2006 minutes as submitted. Elliot seconded the motion. The motion passed 3:0. DISCUSSION OF APPLICATION FOR TIF REBATE FOR A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT - HIERONYMUS SQUARE ASSOCIATES Ford noted changes made to the agreement over the last week include a) that the project will be certified energy efficient with LEED or a utility company, creating an incentive to be energy efficient, b) that the project will include three floors of commercial space and c) the developer's best efforts to include a minimum 40 unit hotel in the project. Bailey said LEED is the architectural standard and asked what programs are offered by the energy company. Ford offered file information on MidAmerican's Energy Advantage corporate energy efficiency programs. Champion said that MidAmerican has good programs for residential and larger scale projects. Bailey said that LEED is the standard the commrttee should promote and use as the standard for future developments. Kevin Diamann said their concern with LEED certification is how the mix of uses within the project may affect their ability to qualify for LEED points. Franklin said that LEED encompasses more elements of energy efficiency than MidAmerican energy, citing the example of points attainable for the use of energy efficient vehicles during the construction phase by contractors. She estimated the project could fairly easily attain enough points to be certified. Digmann said that they are interested in becoming certified, but do not want to get in the position where it would be cost prohibitive. Bailey said that if they do become LEED certified it could be promoted as a marketing tool to attract building tenants and for future development of the downtown. Discussion ensued about related parking needs with an increase in commercial space in the project. Digmann and Hodge reported on a meeting they had earlier in the week with Joe Fowler about securing an additional 50 parking spaces to accommodate the additionai commercial space in the building. Fowler had agreed to the amount. Champion said she as comfortable with the new changes. Elliot said he would like to see more than three levels of commercial space. He noted he would like to see most of the building built for commercial. Hodge said that the addition of another floor of commercial and their best effort to establish a hotel means that at least the majority of 6 floors of the building would be commercial. Digmann said they, too, would like to have more commercial floors but that it is difficult to get commercial tenants to occupy space above second floor, citing an example of other property they own -- new 3" floor office space with on-site parking that has remained unoccupied for some time. Economic Development Committee Minutes September 11, 2006 Page 2 Champion said she does not like the idea of granting financial assistance for condominiums, however, the project would be grand scale and net a lot of new property tax for the community in a relatively short period of time. Hodge said that they have done extensive financial analyses of the project and that without an economic development grant of TIF rebates, the project does not break even for the developer, and thus, they could not go forward with it. Digmann reported sharing project proformas with the staff. Elliot inquired if the staff was comfortable with the numbers and certain the project could not go through without TIF funds. Franklin and Ford confirmed that the documents shared showed that additional funds are required for the project to realize a positive cash fiow. Baiiey said she is feeling more comfortable with six potential floors of commercial. She added the LEED certification or energy efficiency certification is really important and should be encouraged for further projects. In answer to Elliot's question about the history of the development site, Franklin said that for the years Frieda Hieronymus owned the property, she always said she would never have a building with a bed in it. Franklin added that nothing ever happened there because she could not get a tenant. Franklin said that this is the difficulty of doing downtown urban projects without assistance or residential components. MOTION: Champion moved to recommend to the council that the TIF agreement with the Hieronymus Square Associates be approved. Elliot seconded the motion. Motion passed 3:0.

Members Present: Keranen, Nelson, Subramanian, Bleam, Kamps, Excused Members: Stubbers, Ziegenhorn Others Present: City Council Liaison Correia, City Clerk Karr Recommendations to Council (effective on Iv after separate Council action) None. Chairperson Keranen stated there would be a brief Commission meeting and then move on to a public forum to discuss the results of the Iowa Youth Survey. Approve Minutes Subramanian motioned to approve minutes from September 6, 2006 meeting, seconded by Nelson, motion carried unanimously 5-0. Introductions Commission Members introduced themselves to the audience. Update on Website Subcommittee member Nelson reported that a working copy of the proposed website was being reviewed, and is a format that the Commission can build upon. Nelson stated that every Commission member under the age of 18 would have to have consent form signed and returned to the City to use their bio information and picture on the site. Keranen asked if the design would look like the City site. Nelson said the committee is working more on content rather than appearance at the present time and that the appearance would be looked at later. Public Input Session Correia introduced this topic with a power point discussion of what the Iowa Youth Survey is; asking how many in attendance how what the Survey is and how many took the Survey this last time. Correia asked the percentage of II th graders who reported they had a happy home. Audience guessed: 15%; 85%; 65%; 92%; 4%; and 50%. Correia stated that 85% of 11 th graders who took the Survey reported they had a happy home. Correia stated the purpose in getting information from a lot of folks provides a more accurate picture to lead us in formulating what we may want to do. The purpose of the Survey is to have schools and communities identify youth development related needs, to develop relevant programs, and assess program outcomes. Correia stated that Survey started in 1975, and is taken every three years. Beginning in 1975 and through 1999 it Youth Advisory Commission October 4, 2006 Page 2 wasn't the same Survey every year so they couldn't do comparisons, however in 1999 the same Survey has been delivered and so we can start to do trend data. Correia stated that all 6th, 8th, and II th grade students in 359 ofIowa's schools take the Survey (last year over 98,000 students). In Iowa City School District over 2,000 students took the Survey. Responses are all self reported behaviors, but there are validity checks to see if people are answering questions consistently and are reporting in a truthful way. With these checks, if something is inconsistent, than they just throw out that survey and don't consider it when looking at the results. Correia stated that the likely hood of valid information is very high. She reported sections in the Survey include: behaviors and experiences, beliefs and attitudes, peers, schools, family and community. Communities can use the results to target activities, funding, and development programs around the Survey; and then start to get data on whether the things that they are doing having an impact on areas we have concern. Correia stated that data was pulled out from the Survey on alcohol and marijuana use, results from 1999 through 2005, as well as comparing our (school) District with areas of similar size, and then have Audrey and Subha lead our small group discussions. Commission Members and audience broke out into two groups (marijuana use and alcohol statistics) Survey graphs were distributed. After a focused group discussion results were presented. Commission Chair Keranen presented the following chart her group developed for alcohol use: Alcohol Flip Chart 10-04-06 Focused Discussion Obiective When started using alcohol Increase in thinking use of alcohol wrong Amount of people using alcohol increasing as get older Alcohol consumption at City I West football games Reflective Once hit high school- #'s dramatically jump forever used Huge jump in peers think it is wrong - when get to high school Even a small percent of 6th graders report drinking in last 30 days is a concern What is impact of older sibling Not that surprised by findings Surprised by huge jump in age of onset between 11-12 and 13-14 Seems to be an equal amount who use alcohol, and those who've never tried Encouraging the # who report never used (from 1999 to 2005 from 33% to 41 %) There could be different results based on method oftest -taking Youth Advisory Commission October 4, 2006 Page 3 Interpretive Big enough issue to talk about #'s seem to be going down (improving for the better) Our district compares better to other districts our size Wonder of access to alcohol #'s are not accurate?

Emily Martin, Mark Seabold, Rick Fosse Members Absent: DaLayne Williamson, Terry Trueblood Staff Present: Karin Franklin, Marcia Klingaman Others Present: John Beasley (arrived at 4PM) CALL TO ORDER Seabold called the meeting to order at 3:37PM. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA Felling said he is concerned about the placement of the sculpture titled Blade. He said the location overwhelms the statue and makes it less visible. Franklin said the sculpture is part of the rotating sculptures and therefore that placement is just temporary. Suggestions were made to move the pad or to add pads along the trail to create more of a context for the sculpture. It was agreed that the purpose of this site, for exhibiting student work on a rotating basis, likely precluded installation of a large piece that would more appropriately fill the site. CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 7, 2006 MEETING MOTION: Felling moved to approve the minutes as submitted. Martin seconded the motion. Motion passed 5:0. REVIEW OF SUBMITTALS FOR THE GRAND AVENUE ROUNDABOUT PROJECT Franklin said the purpose of the meeting is for the Committee to go through the images of the proposals, as a preview and talk about how to engage the University of Iowa and the neighborhood association in the decision making process. Gene Anderson Gene Anderson has a rotating sculpture on the Ped-Mall. Franklin noted that the artist submitted 2 proposals. Walsh said that his art consists more of shapes and volume instead of details, and there is a benefit to his work by moving around it. Preference was expressed for the first submittal with the stone pieces. Franklin noted that if the Committee as a group unanimously identifies proposals that are not suitable for the project, those could be eliminated at this stage. J Anderson Bricker Walsh said that because of the negative space between the fences posts people will see a lot of movement in their peripheral vision as they move around the sculpture. She added that if the posts are made out of steel it would definitely catch the sun. Rick said Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee Minutes August 3, 2006 Page 2 he sees wind debris catching in there. He added that to him the statue seems very fragile and seems to have a carousel shape. Chris Bennett Franklin said the artist submitted 3 proposals: Swan Sequence, Prairie Preening and Broken Aerial. Seabold said the Swan Sequence seems very out of place for the project proposed. Walsh added that it is very detailed and would attract people to it. Martin said that all three proposals seem to not be appropriate for the space, and do not fill the space as to block the view from the opposite side and direct the people around it. Franklin said that if the Committee likes the shape, the issue with the sculptures is a matter of size that could be arranged with the artist. The committee decided to eliminate the 3 proposals due to the subject being inappropriate for the space. David Black Franklin said the artist had submitted 3 proposals: Round About, Portal, and Fanfare. Seabold was very impressed with the Round About proposal and said the sculpture has high energy and attracts you to continually circle it. Walsh said the Portal attracts people to walk through it, and would envision a wall going around it. The Committee looked at a brochure for additional work of the artist. Peter Busby Seabold said the work is very cool, but it does not relate to the space proposed. Martin said the work is not appropriate for the site, but would work great on a pasture. The committee decided to eliminate the proposal due to inappropriateness with the space. Ed Carpenter Franklin said the artist has not formally submitted any proposals but had directed staff to his website. Based on his previous work he is typically projecting large moving pieces accompanied by light. To exemplify Klingaman presented images of past work. Rick said the movement is too energy consuming for the specific space. Franklin said the artist will do something similar to his past work, but smaller in scale. Franklin said if the Committee is interested in this work, she will follow up with the artist to determine if the movement of the sculpture is motorized and in terms of smaller scale work. The Committee directed staff to follow up with the artist. John Coyne Walsh said that she would imagine a grouping of the proposed sculpture with different figures on each animal. She added that the work is pretty detailed and would attract people wanting to take pictures. Franklin stated the proposal was for one piece. Seabold said the proposal falls in the same category as the other pieces eliminated, where the sculpture seems out of place. Robert Ellison Klingaman presented 3 proposals from the artist: Denver, Flex, and Vortex. Walsh said the proposals are not inappropriate for the space. Martin said the first two pieces remind her of a Martini Cup and a sundae. Fosse said there is no directional element involved in the work. Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee Minutes August 3, 2006 Page 3 John Beaslev arrived at 4:00 and aoolooized for not makino it in time for the Public Discussion item. Beasley said he does not believe that the Irving Weber statue is placed right and if possible should be moved more into downtown Iowa City welcoming people into City Plaza. He noted that as it is situated, the statue is at the periphery of downtown, and seems to be waving at people leaving downtown. Beasley said that it would be neat to have him located in the walkway between Plaza Towers and the Public Library, or at the other side where the Jazz statue is located. Beasley said that sometimes pieces find the right home, and the best example in Iowa City is Doug and Linda Paul's bronze piece of kids working to rescue a cat from a tree. He said there is no better location in the world than the Ronald McDonald house. He added that the location of the bronze Nile Kinnick at the south of the football stadium is great, and Weber needs to be in a better place. Martin said she approaches downtown Iowa City from that direction and is actually greeted by the Weber statue. Walsh said the Lions Club came up with the location because they came with the proposal. Franklin said the location was chosen in a collaborative process. Staff was directed to investigate the cost of relocation and discuss the possibility with the Lions. David Hale Franklin said the artist is a University of Iowa student and proposes a piece of 12 feet in height using steel and stone. John Barlow- Hudson Franklin said the artist had submitted 3 proposals: Sentinels, Trident and unnamed. Walsh said the Trident inspires a sense of motion. Howard Kalish Franklin said the artist submitted a proposal titled Rainbow Sheaf. She noted the piece will be 18 feet tall. Walsh said it is a good radial piece. Martin said the colors change as one drives around it. Fosse said the motion goes in the wrong direction of the roundabout. Franklin said that is an issue that can be rectified in production. Mark LaMair Walsh said the piece is good looking. Fosse said the piece points in the wrong way. Walsh said that it is similar to the blades of a blender. Tuck Langland Walsh said the dancer could denote the direction of the roundabout. Franklin said there will be 3 or 4 identical dancers located where each road comes in the roundabout. Walsh said she would not like to have the same statue 3 times, and there should be some differences. Franklin said if the Committee is interested that could be an issue open for negotiation with the artist. Mark Leichliter Franklin introduced the two proposals submitted by the artist: Pharaoh's Dream and Duet. Martin said the Duet seems too vertical. -----~_._~_._-"-_.__.._._---~~..~---------_._--~~------.------.-.---.-....--. ."_._-,~_._....__.__.._---~-----~_._---'- Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee Minutes August 3, 2006 Page 4 Peter Michel Franklin said the proposal consists of arrows with smiley faces.

Fosse said the piece is functionaL Seabold said he would like to see something more professionaL The committee unanimously decided to eliminate the proposaL Don Mitchell The author submitted 3 proposals: Road Map, Road Trip, and Roundabout. Walsh said she does not dislike it. Martin agreed. Seabold noted that it is too crowded. Tim Otis Franklin said Otis is a University of Iowa student. Walsh said the piece is too airy and with too much negative space. The committee unanimously decided to eliminate the proposaL Lois Teicher The artist submitted 2 proposals. Martin said this proposal is similar to the smiling arrows piece shown before. Walsh said it will be really hard to envision it. Felling asked if the bright color is the issue for not liking the proposaL Seabold said the color does not bother him, but would like to see a refined professional looking piece. Walsh said she does not like the subject; it is not interesting. Seabold said he does not see the roundabout location as a whimsical site. The committee unanimously decided to eliminate the proposaL Christopher Weed Franklin said the artist submitted three proposals: Sun Flowers, BUllS, and Reflections. Martin said she likes the sunflower, but for another location. Walsh said the overall tone is not adequate for the space. Seabold said the pieces will be too prominent. Walsh said there is also the negative space issue. Martin said that the sculpture would definitely attract people. The committee unanimously decided to eliminate the proposaL Steven Woodward Walsh said the proposal is very straight forward and very functionaL Franklin said it is constructed of corten steel which will rust. Walsh said that material is easy to keep-up. Franklin said the committee needs to decide when and how to involve the University of Iowa and the Melrose neighborhood in the selection of the project process. Fosse said the committee should not feel forced to select one sculpture if nothing exceptional that would benefit the site was proposed. He added that they can always have the option of working with a landscape architect. Walsh said this was the strongest response the committee has seen for a call. Walsh said there were issues that would have to be addressed with each proposal, but she could see some of the pieces selected for the site. The committee said the best time to involve the University and the Melrose neighborhood would be during the next regular monthly meeting of the Committee.

Shelangouski seconded the motion. The motion passed 4:0. APPEAL APL06-00003: Discussion of an application from J. Alberto Abreu, John and Trisha Koza, Erik and Marilyn Rosenquist, Joe and Lynn Cannon, Frieda Rummelhart, Joyce and Dick Summerwill, John and Randee Fieselman, Linda Mordaunt, Aileen Leichty, Marge Hoppin, George and Miriam Bedell, Anna and Lenny Kangas, Jose Fernandez, Ann Clark, Wayne Balmer, Lance Lichtor, Sarah Hanley, Malcolm Rohrbough, Eddie Rosenquist, Marlene Weaver, Bruce and Mary Gantz, Patricia Meier, Benjamin Chaukley, Bernardine Knight, and Naftaly Stramer for an appeal of the Building Official's decision pertaining to the regulation of accessory apartments. Walz said that she submitted to the Board two emails received on the day of the meeting. Walz noted that she will present the staff report in a different order than initially planned because she believes there is misunderstanding in regard to what can be appealed before the board and the particulars of accessory apartments. She said that some of the communication received from the public asked why accessory apartments are allowed in the neighborhood. Walz said accessory apartments are not a new idea, and they have been allowed as accessory uses to single family dwellings in Iowa City since 1987. She noted that the initial ordinance required the apartment to be located within the principal structure. The property had to be owner-occupied and at least one person living on the property had to be elderly or disabled. In 1998, she said, prompted by a request from a private citizen, the ordinance was changed to allow accessory apartments within detached accessory buildings, such as a garage. The most recent changes to the accessory apartment regulations occurred during the zoning code rewrite project, a three-year, public process that was completed in December of 2005 when the City Council cast its final vote to adopt the code. Based on input from a consultant who was hired to analyze Iowa City's zoning code and make recommendations for improvements, several changes were made to the regulations for accessory apartments. Walz said that these proposed changes included clarifications regarding the maximum occupancy of a property with an accessory apartment, an increase in the rate of inspections, and deletion of the requirement that at least one person on the property has to be elderly or disabled. In addition, Walz said, the final changes restricted the number of bedrooms within accessory apartment to just one, reduced the maximum size of accessory apartments located within principal dwelling units from 800 to 650 sq. feet or 30 % of the total ftoor area of the principal dwelling, whichever is less, and an expansion in the maximum size limits for those in accessory buildings. Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 2 Walz said the changes to the accessory apartment regulations were first proposed in a preliminary draft to the Planning and Zoning Commission in 2003, and were made with considerable deliberation by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. A public review draft of the Zoning Code was presented to the public in early M!3rch 2005. To make it easier for the public to understand the changes being proposed in this admittedly large document, a reviewer's guide accompanied the draft. She added that in this reviewer's guide, the changes to the accessory apartment regulations were specifically called out and explained in detail. In addition, she said, there were three public hearings before the Planning and Zoning Commission, where additional public input was gathered and proposed amendments to the draft were debated, including a request by the Longfellow Neighborhood Association to change the proposed accessory apartment regulations the Longfellow amendment would have disallowed accessory apartments in the RS-5 and RS-8 zones and required some additional restrictions on site standards. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the Longfellow request and decided against it, stating that they would like to see how the new changes and enforcement mechanisms work before making further revisions to the code. Walz said the question before the board is whether the new Zoning Ordinance permits Accessory dwelling units in single family zones and whether those accessory apartments may be rented to individuals who have no specific relationship with the owner. She said that while the appellant and others may disagree with certain regulations in the Zoning Code with regard to accessory apartments, the issue before the Board is the legislative intent of the code as it was adopted in December 2005. She stated that the Board has no authority to change the Zoning Code nor to decide that the regulations contained in the code are themselves in error. Walz explained that to determine what is an appropriate use in a residential zone, staff would first look to the Residential Use Categories in the code. This section provides descriptions of the various Principal Household Living Uses, including single family, two family, multi-family and group living uses. Uses that have been determined to be appropriate accessory uses to the principal household living use are listed below and included here one can see that accessory dwelling units are listed as an accessory use to the principal household use. Walz stated that to find more specific information a bout accessory uses, one would look to the Accessory Uses and Buildings section in the code, beginning with the general approval criteria. There the code states that accessory uses, buildings and structures must meet the following standards: A. The accessory use is subordinate to the principal use of the property and contributes to the comfort, convenience or necessity of the occupants, customers, or employees of the principal use. B. is under the same ownership as the principal use or uses on the property. C. does not include structures, structurai features, or activities inconsistent to with the uses to which they are accessory. D. .. is located on the same lot as the principal use or uses to which it is accessory. E. .. Conforms to the applicable base zone regulations and to the specific approval criteria and development standards in this Article. Walz explained that the specific approval criteria for each accessory is listed just below, beginning with the provisions for accessory apartments. The code states that "Accessory Apartments are permitted in the RS-5, RS-8, RS-12, RM-12, RM-20, and RNS-20 zones in owner occupied Detached Single Family Dwellings and Detached Zero Lot Line Dwellings and in buildings accessory to these same dwelling types, provided the following conditions are met": Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 3 Walz said that some of the specific conditions relate back to the general criteria that apply to all accessory uses: whether the use is subordinate, whether it is under the same ownership as the principal use, whether the structure itself is consistent with the use to which it is accessory, and whether it conforms to the base zone regulations. According to the Code, the conditions listed for accessory apartments include those relating to ownership and occupancy. A. The owner of the property on which an accessory apartment is located must occupy at least one of the dwelling units on the premises as the permanent legal resident. That is, the owner may live in the principal building-the house--<lr in the accessory dwelling unit. B. The accessory apartment and the principal dwelling must be under the same ownership. C. On properties that contain an accessory dwelling unit, the owner of the property must be a permanent resident of one of the dwelling units, and the total number of people residing on a property containing an accessory dwelling unit may not exceed the total number allowed for one household, as the term id defined in the zoning district in which the property is located. Walz read the general definition for "household" based on the single family zone: "one person; or 2 or more persons related by blood, marriage, adoption or placement by a governmental or social service agency plus up to 1 unrelated person, occupying a dwelling unit as a single housekeeping organization; or a group of not more than 3 persons unrelated by blood, marriage, or adoption occupying a dwelling unit as a single housekeeping organization; a group of persons that meet the definition of a Group Household. Wlz said that group household did not apply in this situation. Walz stated that on a lot containing an accessory apartment the Ordinance would require that between the principal building, the house, and the accessory dwelling unit, the apartment, there could be no more than the number of people allowed in a single household. That is, 2 or more persons related by blood, marriage, adoption or placement by a governmental or social service agency plus up to 1 unrelated person or a no more than 3 persons unrelated by blood, marriage, or adoption. Walz explained that she believed the logic here to be straightforward, stating that while the accessory apartment is designed to function independently from the principal dwelling unit, the number of people living on the lot could not exceed that of a single-family household. She said you have two separate housekeeping units restricted by the number in the household definition. Walz stated that here is no requirement in the current code, nor was there a requirement in the previous code, that the relationship between the occupant of the accessory unit and the principal unit be anything more than a tenant-landlord relationship. The previous code required the owner to submit a notarized affidavit verifying that one of the occupants-either in the owner's dwelling or the renter's dwelling-is an elder or a person with disabilities. There was no stipulation that there be any caretaker relationship nor any familial relationship. The new code, adopted in December of last year, removed this requirement. Walz stated that the appellants had interpreted the terms "comfort, convenience, and necessity" to exclude arrangements that might be purely for the financial benefit of the homeowner. She said that the appellants had asserted that the code does not expressly allow accessory uses for financial gain or contributing to the household budget. Walz said this interpretation is incorrect, explaining that among the accessory household uses expressly allowed in single-family residential zones are childcare homes, home occupations, and some bed and breakfasts. Walz said that the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council approved the Code, including those changes pertaining to accessory apartments after a 3-year public planning process. That process included public discussion and attention to the specific regulations being discussed as Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 4 part of this appeal. She said that the 20-year history of accessory apartments in Iowa City is summarized In the staff report. The most recent changes to the accessory apartment regulations occurred during the zoning code rewrite project, a 3-year, which is also summarized in the staff report. The period of pubiic review lasted nine months, from March until December of 2005. During this time, planning staff met with the Neighborhood Council on several occasions and ail neighborhood representatives, including the representative for Manville Heights, were notified of available avenues for public Input. Walz said other single family neighborhoods had responded to the proposed changes. The Longfellow Neighborhood Association to change the proposed accessory apartment regulations-the Longfellow amendment would have disallowed accessory apartments in the RS-5 and RS-8 zones and required some additional restrictions on site standards. The Planning and Zoning Commission considered the Longfellow request and decided against it, stating that they would like to see how the new changes and enforcement mechanisms work before making further revisions to the code. Walz sated that it was unfortunate that the appellants were surprised by these changes in the Code, there clearly was no hidden agenda on the part of the City and no lack of pubiic notice or public discussion. Walz said that Staff finds that the legislative intent regarding accessory apartments Is clear and that there has been no error in categorizing accessory apartments as accessory uses allowed in single family zones, nor did the city make an error in interpreting the regulations regarding the allowed occupancy on a property that contains an accessory apartment for the following reasons: Accessory apartments are specifically listed in the zoning code as an example of accessory uses typically associated with household living uses. Single family dwellings are specifically listed as household iiving uses. She added that accessory apartments are permitted in the RS-5, RS-8, RS-12, RM-12, RM-20, and RNS-20 zones in owner occupied detached single family dwellings and detached zero lot line dwellings and in buildings accessory to these same dwelling types. Walz said the occupancy standard for accessory apartments is specifically provided for in the zoning code. The limit on the number of unrelated persons allowed on a property is the same regardless of whether or not the property contains an accessory apartment. Accessory uses often contribute to the financial benefit of owner-occupants of the property. She said that there are many examples of accessory uses allowed in the Zoning Code in singie family homes that are more clearly related to financial gain than accessory apartments, such as daycare uses, bed and breakfast inns, and home occupations. She noted the financial benefit provided by accessory uses is compatible with the requirement that the accessory use contribute to the comfort, convenience, or necessity of the principal use. Walz said, Staff recommends that AP06-00003, an application submitted by Jose Abreu, et ai, appealing this interpretation be denied. Public Hearinq Opened John Menninqer, 130 Ferson Avenue, asked how is accessory use of an apartment defined as a subordinate to the principai use. Walz said the accessory apartment is subordinate in size and wouid not be a major income generator. She said the discussion is not similar to establishing an apartment complex or a duplex. Walz said it is not inconsistent with the code that Accessory may be income generators. She added that there are accessory uses allowed in the single family zone that are purely financial and do not compete with the principal use. Holececk said the accessory apartment is subordinate in size and can not be bigger than 650 feet and 1 bedroom. She added that if the principal use is single family home you can have uniimited family members iiving in the house and only one in the accessory apartment. Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 5 Walz said that renting a room in a single family house is not accessory apartment, that is called a roomer. Walz said that there can be 3 unrelated people on a single family property. She added that even if an accessory apartment is located on a lot there can still only be 3 unrelated people on the property. Howard said that in the case of accessory apartments the property owner is living on the property, as opposed to renting when the owner does not live on the property. Sarah Hanlev. 422 Lee Street, asked if the Board has thought not just in terms of people but that once you have the accessory apartment you increase the number of cars on the property which results in the neighborhood turning into a parking lot. Walz said that is the reason why there is a limit to 3 people for a single family lot. In addition, Walz noted that the Board of Adjustment has no power to change the Zoning Ordinance, and it can only interpret the existing laws. Haniey said that if two people reside in the single family house and 1 in the accessory apartment there will be 3 cars instead of 2, and there are not enough garages which results in more cars on driveways and streets. Holececk said that a household can have as many cars as they want and can afford. Hanley said that accessory apartments will add up to the number of cars in the neighborhood. Johannes Ledolter. Highwood Street, said he is quoting from a letter received from the Cate family. He read that "in the future as we enter into retirement and our income shrinks we hope the carriage house will help us generate extra income to help set the property's fixed costs. This is a wonderful concept that provides an affordable living situation." Ledolter said that the accessory apartment was built solely with the financial interest in mind. He added that the city should recheck the rental permit. He said the city should be aware of the danger caused. He said the houses in Manville Heights are expensive and people will build accessory apartments to offset the cost and the neighborhood will look different in the future. Anna Quant. 1010 Highwood Street, said that she grew up in Iowa City, moved away and came back after 40 years. She added she grew up in a large house on top of West Benton Street with a 17 acre apple orchard around it. She said that since than the area has turn into not very attractive apartments. She said that Manville Heights is one of the only intact beautiful neighborhoods and the residents fear that it will turn into apartments. She added that 40 years ago students lived only in the dorms, and there were no apartments all over the town. Quant said they are concerned about the integrity of the neighborhood and want to preserve the character of Manville Heights. She added that there are already plenty of apartment type neighborhoods in Iowa City. Marilvin Rosenquist. 323 Mollen Avenue, said she lives across the street from the property in discussion. She said that as trees were cut out and hills dug up in the neighborhood the residents were calling the zoning office asking what was going on and what was being built. She added that thy got different stories from different people. She said they were told to come before the Board as a first step for asking for an appeal of the interpretation of the zoning code because the neighbors are not aware that low density, single family residents are allowed accessory apartments in their yard. Rosenquist noted they all live in large non-conforming lots, and the apartment violates the spirit of life. She noted the apartment is high up above the garage looking into the bedroom of one house and in the living room of another, without bothering the owner. Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 6 Rosenquist said that the Manville Heights neighborhood association is not formalized. She said that currently one mother of 3 kids accepts the emails from the City. She said that cannot be the source for the neighborhood to receive information. She showed a meeting flyer received in mail, asking people to meet and create the Meanville association, to prove that the association is not formalized. Rosenquist said that it would have been nice when this was proposed that the RS-5 zone property owners were informed. Rosenquist said the scale of apartment should fit into the scale of the neighborhood, which is a requirement for RS-5 neighborhoods. Alison Abreu, 1000 River Street, said she lived in Manville Heights on and off since 1981 and feels very cOnnected to the neighborhood. She said her daughter graduated from West High, the same high school that she graduated from with the same principal. She added that her sOn goes to Lincoln as did her brother. Abreu said she also lived in New York City, Boston and Paris and never had a problem with someone's window facing her bathroom. Abreu said she has a hard time understanding what accessory apartments mean since they have their own mailbox, driveway, address and garbage collection separate from the original house. Walz said that the lot has two front sides and the different address occurs to provide easy access for emergency services. She added that this is not always the case as most houses do not face on two streets. Walz said the accessory apartments are limited to two containers for garbage collection as all other residents. Abreu said that does not seem an accessory use. Leigh asked if the case could be made that since there are two addresses these are 2 separate residences. Holececk said that could not happened since there is only one lot and there is a principal use and an accessory use by definition. Howard said the owner needs to sign an affidavit when applying for rental permit that the apartment can not be considered a duplex. Rosenquist asked when the city decreased the size of the lotto 8,000 square feet. Howard said that happened in 1983 and there are nO plans to lower it again. Holececk said that the owner could split the lot without a subdivision but it would have to comply with the minimum lot size requirement. Rosenquist said there is One accessory apartment On Park Street, but it looks beautiful. She said there is enough space on the lot and is not near the neighbors' houses. She added the houses in the neighborhood have large lots because of big slopes. She said they are now finding that accessory apartments could be put in there which result in increasing the number of residents in the low density single family zone. Randv Fieselman, Highwood Street, said the focus seems to be that accessory apartments are allowed and perfectly acceptable, but that is not alright. She said that for 20 years the code had the notion of disabled integrated and therefore the intent was to not open it up for someOne that was not close to the family. She said that's why these apartments are known as carriage houses. She noted the definition that a group of not more than 3 persons unrelated by blood marriage, or adoption, occupying a dwelling unit as a single housekeeping organization is a very important point. She asked what it means to be a single housekeeping organization. Howard said that definition does not apply to accessory apartments because there is a more specific definition in that case. She added the zoning ordinance anticipates the fact that this will be a separate unit. Howard added the owner must live On the property and the number of people that reside on the lot cannot be higher than that of single family lots. Fieselman asked if the single housekeeping organization is applicable only when residing in the same house but not if rented separately. Howard said the design requirements for accessory apartments require that the apartment function as a separate unit. Fieselman said the intent of zoning for single family had something to do with making a close connection between family, caretakers and disabled. Holececk said the single housekeeping organization does not relate to the accessory apartments Issue. Walz said the old code required that one person that lived On the lot had to be disabled and that this did not necessarily refer to the person in the accessory apartment. Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 7 Jovce Summerville. Highwood Street asked what was the original intent of accessory apartments and changing the code, and what is the intent of having accessory apartments in Iowa City. Howard said there are a number of reasons for having accessory apartments. She noted that she was not working for the city in 1986, but she assumed some of the reasons where to create opportunities for a variety of people to live in the neighborhood, for a variety of people at different life stages to live in the neighborhood. She said the code language asks for a variety of households to live together and realize the benefits of living together. Howard said that even though accessory apartments are permitted only a handful have been built in Iowa City because they are very expensive to build and are highly regulated. Summerville said that at the same time the new zoning code went through it offered the ability for duplexes to go on corner lots. Wright said the discussion about duplexes is not pertinent to the subject. Walz said that at any point if a neighborhood wants to discuss zoning issues the staff is willing to have a meeting with them. Malcom Rohrbouoh, Lee Street, said the law is what it is, but the issue is not the law but an appeal proposed to be denied. Walz said the appeal was whether accessory apartments are permitted in single family zones and if they can be rented commercially. Walz noted that her response is based solely on what is written in the zoning code. Rohrbough said that the right to appeal is a very basic American right that is 400 years old. Holececk said the neighbors are getting the due process and the right to an appeal, but the board, a quasi judicial body, has the obligation to enforce the laws that are currently on the books. She noted that if they want the law changed that needs to be done through the legislative process. She said the appeal to the legislators and changing the law are different matters that those discussed in the meeting which are whether accessory apartments are permitted in single family zones and if they can be rented commercially. Jose Fernandez. said that allowing subordinate accessory structures will change the character of the neighborhood. He said that in his mind accessory apartments are not subordinate. He said the accessory apartment in discussion represents a brand new house, which sits on the front yard of the lot. Fernandez said there are a lot of lots in the neighborhood that front on two streets and could easily accommodate accessory apartments. Fernandez added that with accessory apartments there will be a lot more density and more trees will be torn down. He said that one can make larger houses that have the same impact, but putting multiple large structures will have a devastating effect on the character and nature of the neighborhood. Fernandez said that accessory apartments are cleariy not subordinate to the single family house but equal. He said this situation creates multiple houses on a single lot which will damage the neighborhood. Jose Abreu, 1000 River Street said, asked who makes up the Planning and Zoning Commission and who is involved in terms of making changes to the zoning code, specifically, he asked what part of the City is involved. Howard said that all City Departments were involved. She added that updating the zoning ordinance was a three year process. She said that the Planning and Zoning commission met 30 times, there were 10 public hearings, 3 public workshops advertised on television, radio and newspaper. Abreu said he moved to the neighborhood 14 years ago and has 3 kids. He said that after the accessory apartment was built he has someone able to look from the bathroom into Abreu's bedroom. Abreu asked who enforces issues like number of people renting to make sure the person next door is compliant with the law. Holececk said that a lot of regulations are complaint driven. Abreu said he has a copy of the renting permit issued for the accessory apartments which reads that "this does not imply that the property is in compliance with the Iowa City zoning ordinance, State of Iowa code or other pertinent codes." Howard said the rental permit covers only the renting portion, and nothing else is checked. However, she said that when issuing the building permit conformance with all regulations is required. Howard answered a question posted by Abreu saying that the size of the accessory apartment can be 30% of the total fioor area of the principal dwelling unit, but it can not exceed 650 square feet. .-._-~--_._----~~-~----~_..~--,,~,_._._---_._---_.~--_.~--,-~.__._---,.,-"- - ---_.._---,-, Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 8 Public Hearina Closed MOTION: Wood moved that AP06-00003, an application submitted by Jose Abreu, et ai, appealing the Building Official's decision pertaining to the regulation of accessory apartments be approved. Shelangouski seconded the motion. Wright said that this is a hot button issue for severai people but the Board of Adjustment has a very limited purview and can not go beyond interpreting the law presented in the zoning code. He said the intent of the law is clear. Wright said the pianning process leading into the zoning code made the possibility of such a change very clear. He said that other neighborhoods were aware of this and some thought it was not a very good idea but the Planning and Zonning Commission and the City Council approved this as part of the code. He said because accessory apartments are specifically listed in the zoning code as an approved accessory use in the single family residential, RS-5 and RS-8 zone, and because the occupancy standards are specifically listed and enforced, the intent of the zoning code is ciear to allow accessory apartments with the restrictions presented. He said that whether the accessory apartments provide financiai benefit is not pertinent to the discussion. Therefore, he said that he will vote against the appeal. Shelangouski said that Manville Heights is a very nice neighborhood, and the only way she could afford to iive there would be in an accessory apartment. She said that there already is an accessory se apartment in the neighborhood. However, she said that the Board can only vote on what the City has interpreted. She said that she agrees that there has not been any misinterpretation, and it is very clear what the intent is, and that the code was applied appropriately. She said she will vote against the appeal. Wood said he admires the neighborhood concern and the spirit in raising the concern and bringing it before the board. He said that he agrees with his colleagues that the boards role is to interpret whether the zoning code was misinterpreted or misapplied and does not see where that happened in this situation. Therefore he said he will vote against the appeal. Leigh said she too admires the concern raised by the neighborhood and the preservation of the neighborhood. She said that as the code stands, even without accessory apartments they would have had the same issues if for example there was a large family with lots of cars. She added the old house could have been demolished and a new one could have been put up also looking into the bedroom and bathroom windows. She said that as the zoning ordinance stands she can not see that the city has made an error in its interpretation. Leigh will vote against for the reasons already stated. Motion was denied 4:0. SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS EXC06-00021 Discussion of an application submitted by Romy Bolton and Julia Moffitt for a special exception to allow a reduction of the required front yard setback for property located in the Low Density Single-family (RS-S) zone at 302 W. Park Rd. Walz said the property at issue is located in the RS-5 zone at the corner of W. Park Road and Beldon Avenue. As a corner lot, the property is required to provide a minimum 15-foot front setback along both the Beldon Avenue and Park Road frontages. She noted the existing house is located just 2 feet from the property line along the Beldon Avenue right-of-way, making it a nonconforming structure. According to the Iowa City Zoning Code, Walz said, a nonconforming structure may be eniarged, provided the enlargement does not increase the nonconformity. The applicants are proposing to tear down the portion of the house that sits within the setback along the Beldon frontage--east of the original Cape Cod roof line. This includes a carport (at the front) and garage that was converted into part of the house. Walz said the applicants would then replace this non-conforming portion of the house with a new one-story addition. The proposed new addition wouid be set back 6 feet from the Beldon right-of-way line- 4 feet further than the current non-conforming structure, but still within the required 15 foot minimum setback. Walz said that because the applicants have proposed tearing down the current non-conforming structure and replacing it with another non-conforming structure, and because the new addition will require new _._..-"._.__._~_._._--"-~_._-----~-_.._._._-_.,---_..----.--- ,_.__.__.._._.__.._,_._-----.-._--_.__.__.__...__._~--~-- Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 9 footings, the Building Official has determined that the proposed new addition requires a special exception. While the new addition would be set back 4 feet further from the property line than the current structure, the proposed site plan shows that the addition will also extend 2 feet further north from the current footprint of the house. Walz said the applicants have proposed to remove the driveway access at the front of the property (entering just 10 feet off the intersection of Park Road and Beldon Avenue), and a garage will be built at the back of the lot with a driveway off Beldon Avenue. As indicated in their application, the applicants originally sought to locate the new garage closer than the 25-foot minimum required by the code for garages that face onto a street. However, she added, while the code allows a special exception to reduce the garage setback, there is no provision to reduce the 25-foot driveway requirement in the code. The applicants are now considering turning the garage to face the rear of the property, which would require oniya 15-foot setback, and having a curved driveway off Beldon. Waiz stated that the applicant could add on to another part of the house or couid simply make improvements within the current non-conforming portion of the house; however neither of these options would require them to remove the old non-conforming portion of the house. Instead, she said, the applicant has proposed to create a new structural addition within the basic footprint of the existing structure and enlarge the established setback from 2 to 6 feet. While the present site plan shows the house extending two feet further to the north, within the setback, Staff believes that the net effect reduces the overall non-conformance of the property. Waiz said this situation is somewhat unusual because the request to reduce the required setback from 15 feet to 6 feet will have the actual effect of increasing the established setback from 2 feet to 6 feet. Staff recommends that EXC06-00021, an application to allow a reduction of the required principal building setback for property located in the Low Density Single-family (RS-5) zone at 302 W. Park Road from 15 feet to 6 feet be approved subject to general conformity with the submitted site plan and removal of the driveway access at the front of the property. Shelangouski asked if the current addition is located within the street right-of-way. Walz said the garage is not in the street right-of-way, but within the required setback. Public Hearina Opened Romv Bolton. 302 W. Park Road said they bought the house in December. She said the driveway is particularly unsafe. She added there are no sidewalks on either side of the road and in the morning on top of all the street traffic there are schOOl children riding bikes and walking in the street because there are no sidewalks and therefore no other option for pedestrians and bikers. Bolton said they are proposing to build the garage in the back and turn this into living area. She said there are currently 20 feet of green space and by giving back the 4 feet there will be 24 feet of green space in that side of the house. She added that this would comply with everything the setback is intended to do. She said they are trying to improve the look of their house and improve their safety and the safety of the neighborhood. Public Hearina Closed MOTION: Shelangouski moved that EXC06-00021, an application to allow a reduction of the required principal building setback for property located in the Low Density Single-family (RS-5) zone at 302 W. Park Road from 15 feet to 6 feet be approved subject to general conformity with the submitted site plan and removal of the driveway access at the front of the property. Wood seconded the motion. Wood said this seems to be a good compromise. He said that as far as the specific standards are concerned, it will not increase or extend the nonconformity that already exists, the situation is peculiar to the property as the house is currently situated. He said it will be practically difficult to bring the house in compliance with the code requirements. Wood added that granting the special exception will not be contrary to the purpose of setback regulations. Wood said that it will not be detrimental or endanger the public health, safety, comfort or generai welfare, it will not be injurious to the use and enjoinment of the .._______.~__^~__._...__"___..._____.__.'M..__.. .._____.,.______......._.....____.____.._.___...___".---......--.--.- Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 10 properties in immediate vicinity, it wm reduce the overall nonconformity, and improve the aesthetics of the house. Wood said he will vote in favor of the application. Wright said the application meets specific and general standards. He said the situation is peculiar to the property. He added that the proposal will mitigate the effects. Wright said the aesthetics will look better and there will be safety improvements. He will vote in favor of the application. Shelangouski said that she will vote in favor of the application for the reasons already stated. She said the nonconformity will be reduced. She said there will be no safety issues for still being non-conformity. Leigh will vote in favor of the application for the reasons already stated. The motion approved 4:0. EXC06-00022 Discussion of an application submitted by First American Bank for a special exception to allow a bank drive-through for property located in the Community Commercial (CC2) zone at Hawk Ridge Drive and Highway 1. Walz said the applicant, First American Bank, is requesting a special exception for a proposed drive-up facility. The property is located in the Community Commercial (CC-2) zone which allows drive-up facilities only by way of special exception. The subject property was platted in 2003 as part of the development of the Lodge and is subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement (CZA). Walz stated the CZA identifies several restrictions agreed upon by the City, Subdivider, and Owner of the property in 2002 and is attached to the property and consequently must be adhered to by the applicant. Most of the requirements of the CZA apply to the residential portion of the Lodge development. However, the CZA does include a 15 foot wide pedestrian walkway easement from the property's northwestern boundary generally southward to connect with the street to provide public access to Highway 1. The intent is to allow for future pedestrian access from the Highway 1/Lodge area to Benton Hill Park. Walz said the purpose of the Zoning Ordinance is to promote the public health, safety and general welfare, to conserve and protect the value of property throughout the City, and to encourage the most appropriate use of land. Staff recommends approval of EXC06-00022, a special exception to allow a drive-through facility in a CC- 2 zone, located at Hawk Ridge Drive and Highway 1 subject to substantial compliance with the submitted site plan. Wood asked if the applicant owns the neighboring property. Walz said the applicant does not own the lot, but the developer the bank is working with owns the lot. Shelangouski asked if the driveway goes along the neighboring property. Walz said the pedestrian walkway goes through the adjacent property. In addition, Walz said the developer is putting in the private driveway. Leigh asked if there is another egress except the way used for ingress. Walz said they have to go around the bank and go out the way they came in. Shelangouski said she is concerned about the competing traffic from the bank with that from the Lodge which will result in long lines of traffic. Walz said the traffic engineers looked at the plan and did not foresee a traffic issue with this development. Shelangouski said that at certain times of day people exiting the bank will have to wait for 10 minutes because there is so much traffic coming from the Lodge. She said the bank traffic can not go on Hawkridge Drive because the Lodge traffic does not have a stop sign. Shelangouski noted this would be a similar traffic issue to that created on Kirkwood Avenue due to the Community College classes. Wright said he believes the traffic will be scattered due to the fact that the University Of Iowa offers classes at different times of the day. _."_.___"____~~"._____.__~~....__'~__ ______ _~___..n_._____"._.___._~_____.._.______ Board of Adjustment October 4, 2006 Page 11 Shelangouski asked what an underground storm water retention tank is. Walz said that underground storm water retention tanks fill out to a certain point and then release into a drainage channel, and is used due to the limited space on the property. MOTION: Shelangouski moved to defer the discussion of the application to obtain additional information from traffic engineers about circulation of the private driveway and cueing on Hawkridge Drive. Wood seconded the motion. The motion passed 4:0. OTHER NONE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT INFORMATION Shelangouski and Wright will not attend the November meeting.
