ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT: 1. Public discussion of a request from the Living Word Christian Fellowship for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to modify the parking requlremenls for religious Institutions In the C8.2 zone. Denney said the Living Word Christian Fellowship has requested that the Planning and Zoning Commission review the parking regulations as they relate to churches; specifically the exemption that exists for churches that were constructed before August 7, 1962. These churches are presenlly exemptfrom meeting parking requirements If they expand; however, churches construct. ed alter August 7, 1962, are required to meet the parking requirements If they expand. Denney noted the Commission raised a number of Issues regarding this item at their November 29, 1993, Informal meeting and it Is his understanding that they wish to place Ihls Item on Ihelr pending list to be completed In Ihe spring of 1994, PUblic discussion opened at 7:39 p.m. Marv Fleoenspan, pastor of L1vlno Word Christian Fellowshl~, said the Living Word Christian Fellowship Is a congregation of about 150 people and has been In their present location for three years. The church desires to expand and stay In downtown area but it Is difficult to expand with the current regula lions. He reviewed the parking available to Ihe church as outlined In his November 22, 1993, letter to the Commission, noting the church has more than adequate off. street parking available through agreements with surrounding businesses for the size of building they wish to build and there Is also a great deal of on.slreet parking available to the church. Flegenspan said the additional facility Ihey wish to build would not be adding much more demand on the parking In the area. He said the building Will aclually be a sancluary and gymnasium; their goal Is to construct a mUlll'purpose facility to better serve Ihe community. Dierks arrived at 7:44 p,m. Flegenspan said the community supports Ihe church remaining In this area. He said he respecls Ihe City's concern with parking but he believes the church can help address problems that the entire community faces. ~s- , : I i ; " , , i I , j', I I , , II I ,Ii " ii , I' .I.

In response to a question from Jakobsen, Flegenspan said Pagllai's Pizza parking lot Is only available to the church on Sunday mornings. Public discussion closed at 7:48 p.m. Dierks moved to amend the Commission's pending list for Fiscal Year 1994 by Inserting a new #6 to examine the parking regulations for churches (AprlUMay 1994) and changing the present #6 to #7 and the present #7 to #8. BovbJerg seconded. In response to a question from Starr, Mlklo said staff would follow the pending list In the order items appear but they my get off schedule, depending on the staff lime required. Scott explained several Items currentiy on the pending list are being worked on by staff or subcommittees. Gibson asked if every effort has been made to determine that It Is not possible to allow the Living Word Christian Fellowship's expansion to proceed without changing the parking regulations; Denney said he is fairly sure that every possible option has been explored. In response to question from Gibson, Denney said the applicant would need io have a written agreement with the property owner if they were to apply for a special exception from the Board of Adjustment to allow parking on a separate site. Bonmann saldl if It was the basis for a special exception, such an agreement would have to run wilh the property in perpetuity as long as that particular use was In effect. F1egenspan said he does not have any assurance for use of Ihe A.W Insurance parking lot In perpetuity. ' Scott requested staff to review what was done for the Riverside Theater to deal with public parking. Gibson said there Is a lot of parking available in the area of the church on Sunday momlngs but he Is troubled with the notion of changing the Zoning Ordinance for the entire CB.2 zone on the strength of this one request. Fiegenspan said he is willing to work wlih the City to find a solution that would allow the church to proceed wilhout changing the Zoning Ordinance. The motion carried on a 6'() vote. DEVELOPMENT ITEM: 1. SUB93.0011. Public discussion of an application submitted by Dean Oakes for preliminary plat approval of Scott's Fourth Addltlonl a seven lot, 13.4 acre resubdlvlslon of Lol4 of Scott's Second Addition located In Fringe Area 8 west of Naples Avenue in the southeast quadrant of the Highwey 11Hlghway 218lnter9hange. (45.day limitation perlod waived to December 2, 1993,) Scott noted staff had received a letter from the representative of the applicant agreeing to waive the 45.day limitation perlod to January 6, 1994. Starr moved to defer SUB93.0011 to Janusry 6, 1994. BovbJerg seconded. The motion carried on a 6.0 vote. ZONING ITEMS: 1. REZ93.0013. Public discussion of an application submitted by Dean Oakes to rezone a 31.5 acre tract of land located south of Interstate 80 on Qulncent Street extended from AA.l to AS.5.

I' , 1 Planning & Zoning Commission December 2, 1993 Page 3 Denney said the property is currentiy located In RR.l zone, which is a zone Intended to provide for a residential area of rural character where infraslruclure necessary for development at urban densities will not be available In the foreseeable future. Staff feels that difficulty in providing sanitary sewage service to the area, which would require a 11ft station, and the lack of secondary access are reasons that Infrastructure will not be available to Ihe area in the foreseeable future and staff does not recommend that the rezoning be approved. Denney saldl at the November 29, 19931 Informal meeting, there was much discussion of how Ihls property may be developed If It were rezoned; he noted copies of Ihe concept plan from the applicant and a letter dated February 22, 1993 which Is staff's review of the pre.prellmlnary plat were distributed to the Commissioners prior to the meeting, Denney said the applicant's engineer had proposed the provision of sanitary sewer service through a private 11ft station; Ihe Public 'Norks Department has Indicated that a private 11ft slation for residential use Is not allowed by the Code. He said Public Works does have concerns regarding the use of septic systems In the area In question because of septic tanks that have failed In that area in the past; they also feel a precedent was set with Ihe development of Walnut Ridge, which was also an RR.1 subdivision where septic tanks were not allowed and public sewer was required. He said he has been unable to conlact Rick Fosse to find out the exact require. ments for the Walnut Ridge site and how this particular site would differ from Walnut Ridge. In response to questions from Bovbjerg at the November 29, 1993, informal meeting regarding the timeframe for the connection of the north and south sewer plants, Denney said the Public Works Department has hired a consultant who Is working on design alternatives for the connec- tion; Ihat should be completed In the spring of 1994. ~ ! II " ,) , Ir , [l' I \: II , I: I' n , , j,! I., ! II I I 11 " I, In response to a question from Starr, Denney said If a 11ft station were put In to serve the entire area, there Is a constraint In the line where the sewage would be pumped to; Ihe upgrade of that line would be the City's responsibility. In response to anolher question from Starr, Denney said a private 11ft station to serve Ihls development would not be allowed but Individual grinder pumps would be allowed; It is not clear how many units could be served by gravity sewer In this area even with grinder pumps bringing the sewage from the homes to the sewer line. In response to a question from Gibson, Denney said, based on the secondary access policy endorsed by Ihe Commlsslonl up to 21 unlls are approprlale In Ihis development; Ihe concerns raised by the fire marshall In Ihe February 22, 1993, letter are based on Ihe area considered developable under that policy. Gibson said It may be that secondary access Is Simply not possible in this area; the Commission may need to consider deviating from Ihelr policy In Ihls situation. Jakobsen expressed concerns about the Public Works Department declaring Ihat septic systems would not be allowed In this area; she said the City must give the developer some options for development or It Is essentially a taking. Gibson said It may not be pracllcallo get cost effecllve sewage systems Into this site because of the topography. BovbJerg said some of the land in this area may simply not be developable, adding she feels lhat because of Ihe drainage In the area, septic systems would be unwise. She said she would like a planning and legal analysis of whether Ihls would be considered a laking by the City by ruling out septic systems, Gibson agreed. Bormann said denying Ihe request to rezone 10 RS.S would not trigger a taking because there Is some presumed use of the land atlhe RR.l density. She said she would talk to Public Works ~S' ~. - - '1 - ---~.......--~ ;'.........- ..... ... - -- - -'f' ..._1....__. .. ~ ~. ,.............~I'T \ , " ' , ' ., , i'.'

Planning & Zoning Commission December 2, 1993 Page 4 to determine if they would be willing to permit allowing septic systems In the area temporarily with a provision In the Subdivider's Agreement that at such time as sewer becomes available, they would have to connect to It. In response to a question from Dierks, Denney said the number of units allowed on a single access Is based on Ihe capacity of the street and the lopography of the area, and other factors spelled out In the policy endorsed by the Commission last year. Public discussion opened at 8:23 p.m. Larrv Schnlttier. MMS Consultants, said when this area was downzoned to RR.1, the applicant was told that septic systems would be allowed; now Ihat it appears septic fields and private sewage systems will not be allowed and lift station possibilities do exist, It makes sense to change the area back to It's previous zoning. The possibility of using individual grinder pumps Is not a strong possibility because Ihe Public Works Department wants Ihe applicant to run individual lines from each house all the way back up to a gravity sewer Instead of running Into a manifold and everyone pumping up through the same line. Mlklo suggested a representative from Public Works be asked to attend the Commission's next meeting to answer questions. Gibson asked staff to request Public Works to be prepared to explain specifically why Ihey feel Individual lines are needed In this area. ; " I i' . " ~ I I' I' ,1, II I I II I: I, I\' I I,: I, t'. " " 'i " I , I , ,I n '! SChnltljer said the proposed street Is partially within the easements for the Iowa. illinois power line and the Great Lakes pipeline; Public Works has Indicated the street cannot be located there. He said the applicant has met with the companies Involved and Ihey have no objections as long as the road does not run straight down the easement. Schnittjer said, in response to concerns raised by Gibson atlhe November 29, 19931 Informal meeting regarding piecemeal development In this area, the applicant does not presentiy own the property needed for the Brislol Road extension so he cannot develop the area comprehensively because of requirements for secondary access. Gibson asked how many units would be allowed to the west with single access from the Intersection of Qulncent and Bristol drives; Denney said that area has not been reviewed under,the secondary access polley but that evaluation could be completed before the Commission's next meeting. Schnittjer said he would also like a final determination as to whether the City Is going to extend Foster Road. Bruce GlasQow. 834 N. Johnson Street, said he City spent $25,000 25 years ago to determine Ihe feasibility of Foster Road but nothing has ever been done with that sludy. Public discussion closed at 8:34 p.m. I' Dierks moved to defer REZ93.0013 to December 16, 1993. Gibson seconded. The motion carried on a 6-0 vote. 2. REZ93.0012. Public discussion of an application submllled by Plum Grove Acres, Inc. to rezone 4 acres located west of Scoll Boulevard and 10 Ihe north of Court Street from CN.1to RM.20. (45.day limitation period: December 20, 1993.) Mlklo said Ihe request area Includes 6101s on Scoll Court; although staff would view the proposed RM.20 zoning as compatible with Ihe surrounding zoning pattern, staff does have concerns Ihat It would remove a substantial portion of a neighborhood commercial zone Intended to serve a large area of eastern Iowa City. As stated In the Comprehensive Plan, Ihe Neighborhood Commercial Zone Is inlended to provide convenient shopping for surrounding neighborhoods and hopefully reduce traffic by providing goods and services In close proximity to neighborhood ,I ~s' .."".". ...... ~ I ! i, "'1~- -~...-~ ..-'.......---------~ , . -' " -: ," " ' " ,', .' t /' I" ';'1" ~:'" " "', ,,:'1' '_,",':,. . p '3 , ~V'" : ,<, I'. '1 Planning & Zoning Commission December 2, 1993 Page 5 residents. Mikio noted there are few other areas in eastern Iowa City that are as suitable for a Neighborhood Commercial Zone as this particular location; because it is at the intersection of Scott Boulevard and Court Street, which are both arterial streets, it does have convenient access to a very large area and also has topography conducive to commercial development. Mlklo said the applicant submitted a letter stating one of Ihe reasons for the rezoning request Is because the current CN.1 zoning regulations have been difficult to work with. The Commission has agreed to examine the CN.1 regulations In March of'1994. Rather than remove an area currently zoned CN.1, staff recommends that the examination of the CN.1 requirements be conducted first and if they are found to be unworkable, Ihat those provisions be amended. Staff does not recommend removing a substantial CN.1 zone In this area and therefore recom. mends that the rezoning request be denied at this time. Public discussion opened at 8:38 p.m. Bruce GlasQow, applicant, said the reason for the request to rezone from CN.1 to RM.20 was because the current CN.1 requirements make It difficult, if not Impossible, to find commercial businesses that can function within the size limitations. He reviewed a history of the businesses who have been interested In developing on this site over the last two years but have looked elsewhere because of problems with the current regulations. He added many potential business. es have refused to go through the Board of Adjustment procedures because of what they are required to prove; it is anolher level of bureaucracy on top of the building department and the Board simply wants to tell people how to build rather than deciding what businesses are needed. Glasgow reviewed the commenls in his November 11, 1993 letter to the Commission regarding staff's Interpretation of the current CN.1 regulations. He said if the Commission does not want commercial development In this area, they should allow the area to be rezoned for apartments; if they want Ihe commercial zone retained, they should expand the maximum size of the zone, expand the allowable area to provide adequate space for offices,relnslitute permissibility of apartments over the commercial properties, allow basements to be used for storage, expand the allowable uses, and tell staff that their Job Is not to discourage builders but to do everything In their power to facilitate building In Iowa City. In response to a question from Scott, Glasgow said the RM.12 zone to the north Is roughly 2 acres and Is currentiy undeveloped. Scott noted Increasing Ihe maximum size of the zone, Increasing the allowable footage for professional offices, and allowing apartments over commer. clal properties would not change Ihe nature of the CN.l zone. The Commission Is planning to review the CN.1 requirements in March; he asked if Glasgow would be willing to defer his rezoning request unlll that time. Glasgow said he would with assurance from the Commission that acllon would be taken by mld.March. Scott gave him that assurance on behalf of the Commission. In response to a question from Scott, Glasgow said the current regulations only allow 4 uses; all olher requested uses must go Ihrough the Board of Adjustment. Mlklo said the Intent of that requirement was so Ihe area would remain retail commercial and not become a de facto office area. Scott noted the Commission has also received a request from Southgate Development Company to review the CN.l requirements; in falmess 10 both Glasgov. ':lOd Southgate, the changes should be considered as quickly as possible. ~S' S" i , i, ~ I I' I! II' " Ii Ii i1' :1' I " 1\ " !) j, I I. ,i , I,!

DISCUSSION OF HISTORIC RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT IHRDPI GRANT: Miklo said, after reviewing the estimates provided by consultants for drafting the conservation district ordinance, it appears $8,000 will be adequate. The grant received was for $4,000 and the City has also allocated $4,000.; the next step is to seek an consultant to draft the ordinance. He requested one or more Commission members volunteer to oversee the project. In response to a question from Russell, Miklo said the project is expected to last approximately one year, based on the grant conditions. Hanick and Semel agreed to oversee the project. Russell said the Request for Proposals should be targeted at consultants whose Initial estimate was In the approximate range of the funds available. Russell said the target date for completing the ordinance is by the end of 1994. SECTION 106 REVIEW OF HOUSING REHAB PROJECTS. 516 CHURCH STREET: Miklo said the structure under review Is In an area of late 19th and early 20th century buildings and would normally be eligible, except for the extensive alterations that have been made. From the street, the bUilding appears intact but from the rear, the eddltlon of several epartments is visible. He said the person requesting the rehabilitation Is trying to be sensitive to historic preservation issues and has offered to use salvege materials when possible. Mlklo seld he would be reluctent to find the building eligible for the National Register because the alterations and additions have changed the character of the building to the point that he feels It would no longer be ellglblej If the Commission agrees, no further review is required. Kelly and Licht agreed. Russell moved to find that 516 Church Street Is Ineligible for National Register nomination. Licht seconded. The motion carried on a 7.0 vote. CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 12. 1993, MEETING: Hanlck moved to approve the minutes of the October 12, 1993, meeting, os distributed, S~mel saconded. The motion carried on 0 7.0 vote.

He added he feels her safety concerns could have been met through the recommendations made, by the Commission. He said he feels the Commission gave her very civil treatment. Kelly suggested this be used as an example of what should not be allowed to happen to historic buildings. Russell said the Board of Adjustment has every right to weigh other variables against historic preservation issues; the Commission can only provide a strong recommendation to the Board of Adjustment. Irelan said she feels the Board may have acted differently if the Commission had presented a plan showing how to situate the home on the proposed location. Miklo said he felt the Board did show some sensitivity for historic preservation issues. , , ! , , I i; , 1\: I , I I' 'I I' I, ,I ,I, I:: 1\ I' I'; , " I ..

Russell requested Mlklo explore the possibility of a joint meeting with the Board of Adjustment. Mlklo reported the State Historical Society has scheduled a workshop on design review for December 4, 1993 in Keokuk, Iowa. He said Commissioners Interested in attending should contact him. Russell reported that he and Irelan would be attending a meeting of the Northside Neighborhood Association on November 11. 1993 at 7:00 p,m. at the Horace Mann gymnasium; Irelan would be giving a brief presentation on the status of the Brown Street Historic District. Russell said the Johnson County Historical Society museum committee would be meeting later that evening to review architectural plans and a model for the new museum. He said the site selected for the museum is at the County Farm. Russell reported the Plum Grove Committee would be meeting next week to discuss staffing, funding, and hours of operation. He said administrative responsibility for Plum Grove has been changed from the IDNR to the State Historical Society and a director has been hired; it is hoped the facility will be more accessible and better advertised and cared for. , Irelan reported the Northslde Neighborhood Tour would be held on December 5, 1993. DISCUSSION OF CLG GRANT PROJECTS: BROWN STREET HISTORIC DISTRICT Svendsen said the approech taken In the draft was to make a case that the proposed district has architectural and historical significance, as a neighborhood of residences associeted with University of Iowa staff and through en examination of transportation-related themes. In a large part, the mejor defining attribute of the proposed district Is the brick street, which sets It apert from the surrounding area. She said the architecture Is largely vernecular forms with some high-style attributes; she used the American Vernacular Design book for her system of categorization. ii , i ~b , " '.. ..~ ":"- ~ ........". - " --"1 ~- ----........ ~ ..-, ..... -- - ~ ....... .........----------..~ .... ........... ..- -.- -,~......-----'-- \ . , ' , II r ' " I ,".

'1" Historic Preservation Commission November 10, 1993 Page 3 Svendsen said she had several concerns regarding boundaries to discuss with the Commission. Her first concern was that she had found no justifiable reason to exclude certain buildings north of the proposed boundary on Gilbert Street. Russeli said those buildings had been moved to that location, rather than built there originally. Mlklo added the buildings had been moved since 1960. Svendsen agreed that was a justifiable reason for them to be excluded. Svendsen said she also had a question as to whether the buildings at the northern most boundary on Linn Street belongs in the proposed Brown Street District or as a part of Belia Vista; she feels an adequate case could made for Including the buildings In either district. Miklo said one justification for including these buildings in the Brown Street District might be that the properties were platted with Brown Street. Svendsen noted there are a couple of buildings on Gilbert Street that have been severely altered and, under normal circumstances, she would not recommend including them within the boundaries of the district but in this particular case, because the topography of the area provides for a strong boundary, she did not advocate altering the bounda(y lines to exclude them. Svendsen expressed concerns as to whether the boundary should extend east of Dodge Street to Include the buildings opposite of Happy Hollow Park, noting those buildings relate more closely to Goosetown. She said ,while she feels Dodge Street is a more appropriate boundary than Lucas Street, the case she has made in the draft is that the ages and distribution of house styles is simply different; the tie that binds the houses past Dodge Street to the remainder of the district is the brick street. Russell said the goal of the Commission has been to preserve as much as possible through legislation, adding the boundaries could be shifted If a local Goosetown district is created at a later date. Svendsen said the boundaries of a National Register district are more difficult to change. In response to a question from Swaim, Svendsen said a case could be made to extend the boundary of the proposed district to the north entrance of St. Joseph's Cemetery, although there are a lot of buildings which are intrusions in that area. She added it is a good location for a conservation district. Hanick noted there are owners of properties between Dodge and Governor streets who might oppose being included in a local historic district because of plans for development of the area. Miklo noted the entire expanse of Brown Street would be included if the boundary were extended to Governor Street; If the Commission Is concerned with whether development between Dodge and Governor streets would be compatible, he feels there are sufficient controls through the zoning process to address those concerns. Svendsen seid she also feels it Is important not to exclude open space from the district, Semel excused himself from the meeting at 5:25 p.m. Russell said the bounderies need to be justifiable to the citizens in the area and the City Council. He reiterated the general goal of the Commission is to Include as much as possible. The Commission has spent a lot of time garnering political support and gauging reactions to the proposed boundaries; removing the area east of Dodge Street would eliminate some supporters of the proposed district.

Swaim said she feels there are valid arguments for the proposed boundaries because of the topographic character of the area. . Svendsen said she feels there Is a strong case to Include Bella Vista within the proposed Brown Street District. Russell said that a few of the Bella Vista owners expressed concern that a district designation would lead to Increased traffic from sightseers. Licht said the Bella Vista residents may object less to being Included In a larger district. Russell, Hanlck, Irelan, and Mlklo agreed to canvass the Bella Vista residents to determine their interest In being included In the Brown Street District. Russell requested Svendsen complete the revisions to the draft before the December 14, 1993, meeting, adding the Commission should be prepared to set the boundaries and schedule a public hearing on the proposed district for January at the December meeting. He noted, since he and Irelan live within the boundaries of the proposed district, they should probably abstain from voting following the public hearing to remove any question of impropriety. In response to a question from Svendsen, Russell said the Commission intends to present the proposal for a local district to the City Council prior to the application being sent to the National Register. Irelan excused herself from the meeting at 5:53 p.m. Svendsen reviewed the areas she would revise in the draft: expansion of the education/University themej inclusion of discussion regarding Bella Vlstaj additional language to strengthen the sempler themej and inclusion of a list of contributing and non.contributlng structures. Russell thanked Svendsen for her work on the draft.

No discussion took place on developing a fund raising committee. 2. Ben handed out a graph depicting MYEP's finances since FY88. Ben explained that the city of Iowa city did not differentiate between MYEP's separate accounts, but in~tead only paid attention to the overall health of the agency. As the Transition account continued to go in the hole, the overall health of the agency appeared healthy. In FY88 the Transition account started at a zero balance and then after that point continued to be at a deficit. This did not become critical to the COIC beca~se the agency's other accounts were healthy enough to cover this deficit. In FY92 the DARE grant was able to absorb the deficit that Transition was causing and this again made the overall health of the agency look fine. The COIC began questioning the debt in February of 1993 and Craig Standish of the accounting department asked for a two (2) year cash flow budget. Ben was able to provide this information after he took over as the Executive Director in July of 1993, but it wasn't done before this point. Ben stated that numerous things caused the Transition account to be so far in the hole. One is that there is no budget for this account and the second is that too much was being billed to this account because the other accounts lacked the funds for rent and administrative costs. Ben also pointed out that the In-School program is a problem. The Iowa Department of Economic Development provides $14,472'and requires that $15,066 goes to client wages and fringe. We are only paying ten (10) hours of staff time per week from this program 3nd MYEP is spending $7,793, which is basically paying for the staff time. The staff at MYEP is actually. spending forty ,i ~1 ,.".".. "'f'" - - "1------..-: -~.... ~ -'.. - . ...

'^,' ;", , ' (40) to fifty (50) hours per week on this program and anything over the ten (10) hours has been billed to the Transition account. Dave Jacoby said that other organizations that receive In-School funds use the money in order to employ the young people within the organization. Ben and Linda talked to Cheryl Whitney about funding MYEP for units of service with In-School clients. She agreed to fund the clients on the basis that she would look at each client individually and would determine the necessity to serve them. Ben spoke with a woman in Marshalltown in regards to how they run their In-School Program because their program is the most similar to MYEP's In~School Program. The program in Marshalltown requires that, all work sites provide a match. Ben stated that he is sending a letter to all In-School work sites to require a 50% match starting in January 1994. Basically the way MYEP is running the In-School program there is no financial benefit to the agency. Joan feels that the In-School program is necessary and that it would be a mistake to get rid of it. Marge Penney and craig Standish both suggested that MYEP develop a plan to alleviate the debt. Ben gave the board a salary hand out which specifically showed where current salaries would be taken out of until May 1994. Ben stated that MYEP is going to have to operate at a zero or positive balance in order to make any progress. He asked the board for their support and any ideas that they might have for a plan to alleviate the debt. Ben believes that we need to develop the entrepreneurial aspect of MYEP. It was also suggested that the board meet more frequently. It was decided that the board will meet twice a month starting in December. 3. Discussion on MYEP's By-Laws will be discussed at the next board meeting. V. Old Business 1. COldmittee Reports: There were no committee reports at this time. 2.

Iowa city Landscaping Lease - O'Neil stated that this is an annual lease, which expires on December 31, 1993. Iowa city Landscaping leases approximately one-half acre of Airport property bordering on Ruppert Road. This is the same lease the Airport has had with ICL for the last several years. Blum referenced a document in the information packet from a consultant concerning self-sufficiency of airport fees and charges that suggested an appraisal may need to be conducted to determine what fair market value is of leased airport property. This subject was discussed several months ago when the Housing Rehab Division wanted to erect a storage building on Airport property. ij '.-, ~<a ,.JU.. .~ \,! , , , . . . . ',' !'

CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT: Ockenfels reported on the Central Region AIP Conference in Kansas city. Ockenfels, Horan and O'Neil met with the FAA officials assigned to the state of Iowa and reviewed issues pertinent to the Iowa city Airport. Ockenfels met with Mike Audino, Director of Air and Transit for the Iowa Department of Transportation. He gave him a tour of the Iowa City Municipal Airport and discussed how the Iowa city Airport fits into the state I s airport system. Audino said the roOT is very supportive of an airport in Iowa city. ADA requirements for the Terminal Building were discussed. Some of the requirements may be very expensive, but some can be done in- house with minimal expense. O'Neil will try to implement the items that the budget allows. , , i ! , '" \ 'I Ii II ;'i !: :1 'I F " ii I:' , I' I i,' 'I I ", I ~ , I , (!

They operate a fleet of aircraft and are in Iowa city frequently. Horan spoke to members of the Coralville Chamber of Commerce concerning Airport issues and explained why the Commission conducted the Airport Feasibility Study. Hicks asked if the FAA commented on the safety of the Airport at the AIP Conference. o'Neil said the FAA repeated what they have said before. They expect compliance with safety regulations. They believe an airport is important in Iowa city, but how and where Iowa city chooses to provide a safe airport is a local decision. Blum said safety is not an on or off situation. Safety is measured by degrees. The more congestion there is around an Airport, the less safe it may become. The FAA will not tell you when you are almost unsafe. Ockenfels said that when Menards is built, departures on Runway 30 may be channelled more over the residential areas. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT: Burnside provided the Commission with a summary of pending litigation. There are eight (8) cases pending against the Airport. One case is scheduled for trial in January 1994, and another case is scheduled for August 1994. Those are the only cases scheduled for court at this time. Seven of the cases have similar facts and circumstances. ~ \ ~~ 11 ""...... ,-."'.""""-' - - .. i 'I I , " i' I,; " , 't-/' , ,'\:,1' '-I' ' " "',:, ,: " ': ,.. . .,. . ~J :1 V ,.'" ~ '_. .

This will be an agenda item at the December Commission meeting. O'Neil said one, and possible two, furnaces will need to be replaced in the shop building. The furnaces will cost between $ 720 to $ 750 each. Iowa city Municipal Airport is one of ten airports in Iowa eligible for a GPS nonprecision approach. o'Neil will contact IDOT to indicate a preference for the approach to be on Runway 24. This would be a safer missed approach than Runway 35.
