This presentation of a plaque honoring Chauncey Swan by the Daughters of the American Revolution. This plaque replaces one that was originally given to the city in 1948 which hung in the old city hall and we have spent quite a while trying to find that without success and we are absolutely delighted that from the national level all the way down we are honored to be able to receive a replacement for that. Marsha Huck would you be able to come forward, please. This plaque which reads in honor of Chauncey Swan, Father of Iowa City, born in New York, 1799, died at sea in 1852. First territorial commissioner placed by Nathaniel Fellows Chapter Daughters of the American Revolution presented 1948 and 1994. This is truly an honor. This will be placed up we have now a bench from Santa Rosa, California and this will be placed in a case just above the bench on the second floor. Thank you. Would you care to say a few words. Marsha Huck/ Mayor Horowitz and members of the city council, on behalf of the members of Nathaniel Fellows Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, I am pleased to present this plaque that honors Chauncey Swan as the Father of Iowa city. chauncey Swan is recognized as the Father of Iowa City for his participation in the development and selection of Iowa city as the permanent site of the territorial capital and his endeavors as a businessman. As you said, in 1948 our chapter presented a similar plaque and we are pleased to present this at this time. Horow/ Thank you very much. ,....~~... "0'" (-' \ ' .\ , ,.:;.'

Comment: The owner of property located at 916 North Dodge Street, Iowa City, Iowa, received $5,750 in the form of a condi- tional occupancy loan under the housing rehabilitation program. When the loan instruments were recorded, the legal description that was on the owner's original warranty deed (from 1972) was used. After 1972 the owner had actually conveyed part of the property to 914-914 % N, Dodge St., and that part ofthe proper- ty had inadvertently been included on the lien of the 916 North Dodge Street property. Since we had encumbered the owner's property, as well as the adjacent property that had been sold, the lien for 914-914% North Dodge Street needs to be released.

Penny Bryn Neighborhood Association. May I approach the council with simply a summary of what I'm going to say. There's only one of us tonight on this topic. The topic that we want to bring to the council is to speak about the impending connection of Teg and Aber Drive which will join West Benton to Sunset Drive and Highway 1 creating a throughway. This is due to open in more or less a month as best we can figure it. Our concern to place before you is the safety of residents and park users, especially children using the park. The speed of cars will increase as well as the volume of traffic when this throughway is open. This is not a vague concern unfounded. There is a basis in fact here. Our neighbor Michael McCabe was killed in an accident on Teg in front of the park in the late 1970's. In addition, attached to the letter you have the Department of Transportation in our city completed a study which indicates traffic on Teg at this point before it is opened is at a level almost 90% of what you expect on a collector street. And that the average speed on Teg at this point approaches 35 mph. We are requesting that the city council delay the connection of Teg and Aber until first the new soccer fields may be opened and we know that this is a project of which there will be moved south of the city and eventually all the soccer will occur there. And secondly until the question of a light at Mormon Trek and Hwy 1 is resolved which we also understand may take some doing. Alternatively we would ask for placement of stop signs to slow traffic or as set forth in the city code dealing with speed limits to reduce the speed limit by the park to 15 mph because indeed this is a park area. We are seeking to deal with this problem prospectively rather than retrospectively before there is a problem or an accident which has already happened. Finally we realize we're late in the ball game in terms of asking for this. We are a new neighborhood group organizing specifically around this issue of safety for children and residents crossing to the park. While we're relatively late in terms of asking for this. we think there's some good reasons for this. When the subdivision at the end of Teg was contemplated and platted and the original plans put forth, this was not a qonnection that was contemplated. Indeed Aber was going to go from Mormon Trek over to Sunset and then back up to Hwy 1. This has not occurred. And in fact the connection \ , r:'f I I i' i I I I , I , , .

So that you get us now coming relatively late to the council and asking for some sort of consideration in terms of safety and in terms of traffic, particularly as related to speed. We ask that you consider this request. We will help as best we can. We are concerned about the volume of traffic, the nature of the park, and in particular the safety of the large number of families particularly children who are eight and nine years old who are using those fields regularly. Thank you. Kubby / steve, what is our time frame in terms of annexing the intersection of Mormon Trek and Hwy 1 so we can put a traffic light. Secondly about the collaboration with the Kickers about soccer fields to the south. Atkins/ I'll take the soccer fields if you like. Franklin/ The annexation of the r.o.w. so we can put in the light will be going to the P/Z commission at their first meeting in May. KUbby/ How long does that process take in terms of going to the state annexation board and then coming back here. Franklin/ We probably will not have to go to the state with this one because we're not within two mile I believe of another municipal jurisdiction. The P /Z Commission if this is a relatively simple annexation which I believe it will be will take just one meeting on it. It should come to the council by the beginning of June surely if not your second meeting in May. Nov/ Can we assume delaying the Teg Drive construction is not going to be a problem. Franklin/ I can't answer that. I'd have to look into it. NOV/ Can Steve answer that. Atkins/ No I can't answer that for you. I'll get answers for you. Franklin/ We have a subdivision that is in the process of being built there so we'll have to check that out. Horow/ At the neighborhood meeting that Jeff Davidson, Marcia Klingaman, and I went to this subject came up and there were some people from the new development at that meeting and they voiced their desire to have the street go through that they needed that access both ways. So there is a problem there and F042694 - ---~- 0_ )>," -- ~. .

That is compounded by a whole variety of issues the first of which is that where we want to construct the soccer fields is in the county and you are subject to county zoning agreement at the time we developed the sewer plant which means a north access road has to be built and that is not something that occurs rather easily. The other issues associated with the soccer fields is that we would have to talk to the Kickers, the organization I think as you know, we no sooner build soccer fields, then they get gobbled up with respect to use and I don't want to mislead the neighborhood to think that by simply opening some new soccer fields that is going to diminish the problem. Susan had alerted me to this and I did had the Police do a quick check for me, a computer check, and I think the speeding problem is very legitimate and we do need to address that issue. If you wouldn't mind I would like to take this letter, there is about a half a dozen questions raised, prepare a formal response. Horow/ I would appreciate that. Atkins/ That would be okay and I will prepare it and distribute it to you. Kubby/ Is it possible during weekends that we have additional enforcement and just a presence there to make sure people are- when they see a police officer people tend to be more careful. Atkins/ Normally the soccer has been a concern out there for some time and the congestion, quite frankly, slows the folks down. When they are not there is that they are experiencing the speeding problem. At least at the time of day and the speeds at which they are moving through here. But we will address that and we will prepare a response for them. Horow/ Okay. Thank you very much. Karr/ Motion to accept. Horow/ Moved by Pigott, seconded by Nov. Any discussion. All those in favor signify by saying aye (ayes). Is there anyone else who wished to address council- I : Kubby/ Sue, before you close it I think there is somebody in the lobby who may not know this is the time to come out. I saw them a moment ago.

One of the last interviews he had when someone asked him about farm chemicals, asked him what he thought of them, and he said they are poison and they add up. A little bit here and a little bit there and pretty soon you got quite a lot on you and in you and around you. He died shortly after that interview. I don't thin he died from those poisons. I am not sure. I would encourage really that you ban the use of all those chemicals. They are fool hardy. It is the lazy man's way out. And the lazy woman's way out. I live out in a rural area now but I worked in the city a long tie and worked here and lived here both and I am scared of those things. As far as spraying to protect yourself from law suits on your playing fields, I saw a vietnam Vet. swell up and blister in the city park two years ago because you all had sprayed it. I don't like you all for doing that. I really don't. We got on our bicycles and got the heck out of there. He has only one leg but boy could he move fast at that point. Now that wasn't Agent Orange that you used out there but that is what he has already go in him. I swelled up a few times this year in the country. The farmers are throwing it on there wind or not. Some of them are. You just got to stay out of the way. The riches Mennonite farmer I know told me he don't want any city people moving out in the country. You all just get in the way of what we are doing. Ain't that a heck of a Christian attitude. I have caught more fish on the river in the 40's than all of you put together. I quit eating out of the river in the 70's. I am scared of what you are doing. If you do it near me at my home I shall fight back and this is my home. Cut is out. Don't be fools. The Farm Bureau doesn't even want it advertised anymore. They are asking the companies to quit advertising those chemicals. They want to slicker it on through. We have a federal law that says farm workers have to where uniforms and be trained, etc. Clinton, that dirty little Democrat. Horow/ Mr. Rowe, would you keep your remarks just to Iowa city. Rowe/ The chemicals are all around. Clinton has allowed now that law to just stand still for a year and the people that are throwing it around out in the countryside don't need to follow those rules even though the law exists. One year grace. Boy, oh boy, oh boy. Horow/ Thank you very much. Rowe/ Is my five minutes up. F042694 - -HH.'~ _'0 -~ ~ ') '. .... ,"', ., ,.'..,', ~. . ~ I I f~ t, "1 ~l .of.

Public hearing continued from April 12, 1994, on an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance by conditionally changing the use regulations of an approximate 7.86 acre tract of land located at 2312 Muscatine Avenue (Towncrest Mobile Home Court) from RFBH, Factory Built Hous- ing Residential, to CC-2, Community Commercial. (REZ93-0010) Comment: At its November 4, 1993, meeting, by a vote of 6-0, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of a request to rezone approximately 7.86 acres located at 2312 Muscatine Avenue from RFBH to CC-2. In a staff report dated September 16, 1993, staff recommended that the proposed rezoning be approved only if concerns regarding the improvement of the First Avenue and Muscatine Avenue intersection and the loss of an area zoned RFBH are resolved. A revised Conditional Zoning Agreement addressing these concerns has been submitted for Council consideration. Comments were received at Council's November 23, 1993, January 4, 1994, JanuarY;~~94, and April 12, 1994, public hearings on this item. k 7V-- A Aoti,,: /M; /ttJ1d{1!pJ rAA1-rr!urt. a&r ~ ~ . $f~ ~ CD d.

Phil Leff/ Madam Mayor and members of the council, I am Phil Leff the attorney for the Eagles Enterprise. You have now in your materials two letters from Eagles that outline their proposal and I believe are encompassed in the conditional zoning agreement. You have two April 8 letters. The last letter is the one you would have received on about the 23rd of this month. Just let me summarize for you the proposal since it is contained in those two letters. It is that Eagles will provide $30,000 in cash for the use towards the improvement of the intersection involved. That payment is to be made when the city council actually takes and lets the contracts for the improvements. Nov/ Mr. Leff, that microphone works better if you stand about six inches away from it. Leff/ Thank you. The additional $150,000 Eagle is proposing to pay would be utilized for the relocation expenses. You have received enough arguments, analogies, pros and cons about this in letter and written form that I don't think it is necessary to reiterate those. You will recall that in the last communication Eagles indicated that they must secure the approval of the Camps to certain modifications in the contract. I come here tonight to tell you I just found out a few minutes ago that those agreements have not yet been reached. The Camps attorney have been ill for several days, received the conditional zoning agreement and has not agreed to those terms and the modifications that need to be made so they can be made in writing. We believe that we have verbal assurances between the parties and are confident that those can be worked out but I must tell you that the conditional zoning agreement cannot tonight be signed by the Camps. And wi thout the Camps signature it cannot be signed by the Eagles. What I hope that you will do in this is to indicate by vote or otherwise whether or not the conditional zoning agreement, if it were signed and submitted to you, is satisfactory. Obviously if it is not and if the vote is negative we have no reason to proceed further. If your vote is affirmative then we would come back to you in the next council meeting with the agreement signed. Or if we don't come back with it signed we will simply tell you that we are dead in the water and issue is over. I don't think of any other alternatives other than to reluctantly, as a third alternative, ask you to continue the hearing one more time until next meeting. But we are just as anxious as you are to find out how the council stands and decide whether to proceed or we simply need to stand out. Kubby/ The agreement that we have tonight-last night it had two blanks. A blank for the traffic improvements and a blank for -- ~~~= -.-- ), ;,' o - - ~. . I jt.. lol ~) I ~!

Leff/ The blank that is not filled in on the copy you have is $30,000 figure, I believe, for the intersection. Yes. Kubby/ And that is how we should fill in the blank. Leff/ Yes. There was some other changes made as I believe are reflected in the document you have that dealt with the legal description. There was a typographical error and those have been changed. Gentry/ Paragraph 12 plus the legal description have been changed. Horow/ And how many days is that that there is a blank there. Within so many days of publication of the ordinance. LeU/ That depends on when the action is actually taken. The figure that we had originally was 90 days but it will depend upon whether you postpone this or whether you act on it tonight. I don't believe you can act on this officially without having a signed agreement in front of you. Kubby/ If we close the p.h. and don't have a signed agreement everything is moot, isn't it. Gentry/There is not much to vote on. Wi th all due respect to everyone I think the parties need to have some indication from you as to what you are going to do. Horow/ I agree. Leff/ We can tell you that the proposal that was made, the monetary amounts and the deadline for closing the mobile home park are not the items that are in contention. You can assume that that is submitted on that basis. That is not what is causing the problem between the parties. It is other contractual obligations between them. Horow/ Do you have a question. Nov/ I would like out city attorney to go through the options for us, please once more. Gentry/ You may close the p.h. in which case you would not have a signed agreement and your vote on the ordinance would-other than giving a signal to the parties would not have much merit for force and effect because there is basically no signed agreement. You can't have an ordinance without the conditional zoning agreement attached to it. If you want to keep the ordinance alive with the conditional zoning agreement --- ,.",. ."

If you want to be done with it, close the hearing and indicate to the parties one way or the other up or down on the ordinance. The problem with voting up or down on the ordinance is it is not really going to have a whole lot of effect. It may at least be an indication to the parties what you want to do. You don't have to vote 0 the ordinance. You can table it to a date certain or indefinitely. Nov/ We can table it whether or not we continue the p.h. Gentry / Pardon/ You can defer the vote on the ordinance if you continue the p.h. or if you close the p.h. Gentry/ That is correct. Franklin/ If you close the p.h., however, and defer the ordinance, you will have to reopen a p.h. on a conditional zoning agreement in order to practically do anything. Gentry/ That is right. You would have to start over. Franklin/ So really it is a choice between closing the hearing and having the whole thing be dead or you have to start over again or continuing the p.h. to give the Camps, Oakridge Properties an opportunity to resolve their differences if you want to continue with this. Horow/ There is no way then that we can continue the p.h. and get an indication n the ordinance. Franklin/ If you wish to, through your comments, you may give some indication as to what your sentiments are about what is before you which is the $150,000 for housing and $30,000 for traffic improvements. That is just through your comments. It is no kind of formalized vote. But if you want to leave the whole thing open and you want to continue the p.h. to allow them to come to some closure on the agreement. Okay. Horow/ The p.h. is open. Is there anyone else who wished to address council on this subject. Ed Murphy/Good evening Madam Mayor and members of the city council. Ed Murphy, former tenant. I will keep my remarks brief. If you choose not to accept this redevelopment including the relocation assistance program I ask that you formally adopt a resolution to assist the residents should their living environment deteriorate to the point that they cannot tolerate or afford to continue to reside at Towncrest. My concern is for the stability and security of the tenants living situation. Unless you have any other questions that is all I have to say tonight. , . ._~.,. ,0 ,)' _1Ar ~ ~. . ~'S . ~[l ,\ , , >~:;:\E! . ~t: I, "',. .. . .. ~ ., . :: ' #6c page 4 Horowj Anyone else which to address council. Council has the option now of continuing. Kubbyj I think there is one more person. Rex Merifieldj I am a Towncrest Mobile Home resident. I currently reside at 2312 Muscatine Avenue where the park is located. I have here some reasons why I think it shouldn't be sold or rezoned and they are it would create traffic and safety hazard for children and day care in the area. It would cause more pollution than already is here and further deplete our only ozone layer surrounding the earth's atmosphere. And it is also a low income area in the neighborhood. Many residents that are there cannot afford to relocate and a lot of residents have dogs and wouldn't be able to find a place. An apartment house or trailer that would allow dogs because such a policy that managers and landlords have. And it would be unnecessary and anti environmental to remove all or part of the existing trees in the area and there is already-final reason is there is a supermarket one mile north of the proposed site being HyVee and two other supermarkets meaning Randalls and Econofoods in some plazas one and two miles southwest of the proposed site. Thank you for the time. ,"--.." Adrian Knuthj Madam Mayor and council persons. I am an attorney from Anamosa. I represent Senior pablos restaurant. Carmen Paulson is my sister and on behalf of Senior pablos we would ask that the council consider a continuation to afford the Eagles Enterprize as well as the Camps to reach an agreement. I was privy to some of the discussions and I can confirm as Phil Leff has told you that the $150,000 for the relocation and the $30,000 for the street impact are not the issues in contention. There are other contractual issues that, from at least my perspective, won't affect the city's interest and certainly don't affect our interests as one of the parties. Senior Pablos is interested in the deal with Eagles going through, obviously, from very personal point of view. We also think that enterprise or that project, if it were to go through, would serve the better interests of the city in the long run. We certainly would hope that the council would grant the opportunity to reach accord and I also have the feel just from knowing the parties, some of the parties involved and having judged from the conversations I was privy to, that within that extension period or continuation period that the parties would be able to come back here and sign that agreement. Everyone is sitting on the fence as to what the council is ultimately going to do. It would be a great benefit to all of the parties. It would be certainly to my sister and I. I am sure to Phil and his clients and to the Camps as to where. Is this a waste of people's time or is there a genuine interest on the part of the city to accept the essential provision that you have before you. We would hope , [ ..\ (-.~\ \ i \ !

The proposal has been straight forward and in earnest and I think that the proposals that they have presented to the council and their behalf and that you have before you in the proposed CHANGE TAPE TO REEL 94-64 S1 Knuth/ Again, it would be a great relief to all of the parties and maybe for those who have interests as well as the occupants of the trailer park and others in the neighborhood if we could have that indication. Thank you very much. Karr/ Could we have a motion to accept correspondence please. i R Horow/ Moved by Throg, seconded by Kubby. Anyone else who wishes to address council. I would like to ask council if we could hold off the indication of what we want to do and make a decision about the p.h. Would that be appropriate. Gentry/ If you close the p.h., the ordinance is dead. Kubby/ On the other hand if there are at least four people who would not be supporting why waste everybody's time putting it back on the agenda. If there are four people, give them an indication now, close the p.h. and let it lie. Horow/ Would someone care to make a motion to continue the p.h. Moved by Lehman, seconded by Baker to continue the p.h. to May 10. Any discussion. o ,- ", ...\ (~. \ \ ) " Throg/ I would like to ask a question but I don't know if it an appropriate question so I will just ask it and if somebody thinks it is not appropriate tell me. We had some conversations about this issue last night during our work session and I guess I am just wondering whether Eagle is aware of the substance of that conversation. Whether anyone was here representing Eagles that was listening or whether the essence of that conversation was communicated to Eagles. And, again, if that is an inappropriate question, please let me know. / No, I think it is perfectly appropriate. Phil. Leff/ It wasn't communicated to me. Gentry/ staff communicated the information to someone. Rockne Brosman/ I was here. What was the question. Throg/ I am aware that we talked about this last night and there was some signals given during the council meeting last night that at least from my own personal point of view would ,/,,~ r~'''i1 , " , , , : I I , ! i r: , I ! i t 0<" J 1J~~: 'i:;', 'i~'" ';)1': """ ~. \C" .. ..

I didn't mean to say that. Brosman/ What I am asking is what is it- are you asking what am I aware of. I was here. Horow/ Were there any issues that we discussed last night which you had any consideration or some opinion on. We talked about the plan of widening the street. We talked about the share of the traffic assessment. How much r.o.w. we would need. We talked about the number of households getting relocation. Bruno brought up responsibility for the neighborhood, many residents want the offer. Some residents don't want the offer. I think- Brosman/ I thought that staff answered those questions or shared wi th them their opinions to satisfy those to some degree. Did I hear anything last night that would change what we have before you, no, I am unable to make any changes. Nov/ I have one more piece of discussion. When we talked about traffic and street widening last night we were told five lanes and I looked at my diagrams again from I don't know when, last November or whenever they were given to me, and I cannot see how that can happen. I think four lanes is the best we can do if we have 7 feet from this side of the land and 7 feet from this side of the street we can get one more lane. So, tell me the plan. Jeff Davidson/ The city engineer and I have discussed this Naomi and it would be nice to be able to have plans spread out in front of us to exactly show it. Rick indicates that five lanes, that being the two through lanes in each direction and a center turning lane is possible with the additional r.o.w we have asked for. nov/ One of the diagrams that I saw we have three 12 foot lanes. Now where are we going to get to the point of five 12 foot lanes. Davidson/ We have some excess r.o.w. in the corridor now that could be used for the additional lanes as well as what we are asking for. Nov/ Okay. So we currently have r.o.w that is city owned that the . - '.- ,-'0.)"" " . ~ ~. . 'I 'j~ ' <. ~ CD , rd. ~ . m:tti~I' ,~- ~~ l ;",:,:" ( , '\\ '.

Davidson/ We need 7 1/2 feet from the Eagles side, the side that would have the 8 foot sidewalk on it. From the other side we need 2 1/2 feet. 7 1/2 plus 2 1/2 plus what we have already for r.o.w would be adequate for the proposed improvement. Nov/ Okay, so the basic need is 9 feet more. Davidson/ That is correct. Nov/ And on Muscatine- Davidson/ 10 feet more- NoV/I think it was 7 feet. And what is the other side. Davidson/ 7 feet on the north side of Muscatine. That is correct. Nov/ And do we need something from the south side as well. Davidson/ Five feet. I believe the 7 1/2 and the 2 1/2 is 10, not 9. Horow/ Are there any other discussions on this. Just discussing continuing the p.h. Baker/ When we get to the next item- Horow/ We will have a discussion about where we stand on this. Kubby/ I don't know. I am tired of continuing this and the only reason I will vote to continue this p.h. is because people are going to give an indication on how they are feeling about this on the next item otherwise I would not. pigott/ It doesn't make me happy that we have to continue this. It is one of those things that we have made a commitment to people that we would make a decision on this and we have stretched it our time and time again. It is tie for us to at least make an indication of how we are going to vote. Nov/ I think if we continue it we have made an indication that we are still planning to vote on it.

Moved by Kubby, seconded by Throg to defer until May 10. Discussion. Throg/ One of the things I said last night is that in my view it is important for any firm like Eagles to bear its share of the cost of public improvements that would have to be done as the result of a particular development. In this instance, as I understand, the rezoning would result in additional traffic that would force us to accelerate the schedule for making traffic improvements at that intersection and according to the documentation we have received in the past and during previous meetings, Eagles share of that would be somewhere between $81,000 and $120,000. In my view, we should expect, as a condition of rezoning, Eagle to pay at east the low end of that share. Horow/ Okay, anybody else. Lehman/ I think Eagles has offered of $150,000 for relocation expenses which is something that we cannot legally require. That along with dedication of land of the approximate value of $100,000 and $30,000 in cash I think is a tremendous contribution in addition to building a building that is probably is going to be $5-6-7 million. I don't know what you have to do in this town to do business. This obviously is an improvement for this community. It is the only chance that people in this mobile home court have. That is going to be closed and unless we help those folks. Now Eagles is offering to do it. If we don't accept their offer we are probably going to do it. I don't know what more we can ask for. So obviously I think it is a bonified offer. It is a generous offer. I think it is something we should accept. Baker/ Sue, I tend to agree with Jim in one very important respect. I think that offer of $30,000 is woefully insufficient. However, in the context of the bigger issue which is what do we do with the residents, what is their future. I am much more sympathetic to the Eagle proposal. I think is it were just a matter of rezoning empty land, I would say no tonight unless we got the full cost of the improvements. But in conjunction with the other proposal, in conjunction with at least accepting the principle they have some obligation to pay for some of the infrastructure cost I don't think it is enough. But again, in the context of the overall offer I am willing to settle for that $30,000. I think it is important that we remember that two weeks ago the offer was zero on this and now it is $30,000. In the best of all possible worlds we would get more. But I think in this particular case to relieve any potential strain-stress, any misgivings or hesitations .... ~-~~= "..--~ - -.

And I know that we are getting away from the issue of land use and that I have really been trying to stress to us that this is a land use issue but I, too, am concerned about the relocation, especially even more than the traffic. Less than a year ago P/Z turned down another rezoning to CC-2 in the Sycamore Farms area and the reasoning behind that is that we already have a sufficient amount of CC-2 acreage in the city. And that was part of some of P/Z members voting no on this as well as some of the monetary issues. So-and I believe that keeping this piece of land residential is paramount importance. I realize that going through this process of evaluating this application for the zoning change that we found a need for more trailer park zoning in town and so it is good that this kind of came to us in our face and that we are going to act on it. But when we are consistently struggling in the creation of more affordable housing, why would we want to back peddle and rezone a piece of land that is already zoned for manufactured housing and is in general affordable housing. So I don' t really understand why we would want to go backwards. In terms of the relocation that if residents were forced to move I still believe that many people would not maintain their status in the housing market. Especially in terms of ownership of equity. I don't believe that this move would replace that equity with equity. And I don't believe that we should make a decision that causes people to lose assets. Of the 43 households that are still living at the Towncrest Mobile Home Court, only 11 are owners of trailers that can be relocated, 6 households are people who are renting trailers that can be located and still rent somewhere else in town. But that leaves 26 people, over half the residents, who own their trailers but they will not be relocated. What they will do is they will receive either $3,000-4,000 as a cash payment but they will not have a place to go and I do not believe that they can replace the equity they now have with that $3,000- 4,000 cash payment. And thirdly, as people have already stated, the traffic improvements I think that Eagles should pay their fair share of the million dollar project. And lastly, I guess I realize that if nothing changes that the cost of maintaining Towncrest Mobile Home Court may continue to rise. And at one of the p.h.s the attorney for the owners of the trailer court stated that 38% of the expenses for running the park are for sewer and water charges and right there when you are trying to make a business work you either raise the price of your service and that has happened twice in the last year at Towncrest or you decrease your expenses and one of the ways Towncrest can decrease their expenses is to make it a profitable business is to do something about water and sewer usage.

I believe that the city could create a partnership between the owners of the trailer park, the residents, and to help them revitalize Towncrest. And I think that we should do that and I know that council has agreed that if this rezoning request is turned down that we will not turn our backs on the residents or the owners of Towncrest and we have all made that commitment no matter which way the vote goes. But I strongly disagree that the only option for the residents, the only positive option, is to rezone the land. And I will be voting no. Pigott/ I think we are dealing with a lot of issues. I think the first and the one that Karen was mentioning is one you have to get past and that is what the best use of the particular property is. Another is the relocation of the tenants. A third is the issue of the street improvements and the fourth is the character of the neighborhood, the surrounding neighborhood. And when we consider this issue you have to think about those-I mean this decision we have to think about those issues. We also have to think about the different groups that have a stake in this area. One of the groups is the neighbors in the surrounding area. I think the neighbors in the area have a deep interest in seeing the area revitalized, the area that is close to their home. I think they are interested in this proposal because they are interested in a shopping center. A shopping center sounds like a great idea. I am not sure that they would be interested in a store the size that Eagle proposes but I think that they are interested in something to revitalize that area. Then there is another group of people, the people who live in Towncrest Mobile Home Park that we are all very concerned about. The interest that they have is the interest in habitable place to live. They originally, I believe, prefer to stay at Towncrest and because it is closer to d.t. , the bus line services and it is a place that they have been for years. In the last few weeks as this decision has dragged on I however, and is seemed to have churned along, the residents have called me and many of them have expressed an interest in accepting this offer because they fear if they don't act now rents are eventually going to go up at Towncrest and they are going to be run out of that area whether it is our intention to run them out or not and they will receive nothing. That may not be the view of all the residents but it is a view that I have heard in that area. Then there is the interest of Eagle grocery store. Eagle sees this as a prime opportunity. It is a wonderful area serving an expanding part of town and it looks like a very profitable venture for them or else they wouldn't pursue it for as long as they have. Then there is the interest of the council. The interest of the council, I think, is to-when considering this request, is to talte in the desires of these various groups and make a decision that is in the best interest of the community. .... ..

When I think about the first issue what is the best use of the land in the short term and in the long term. Many have said that the best use of the land given the fact that we don't have a lot of affordable housing is to leave it as is. Especially for those who can't afford a lot more. I believe that the present zoning is not necessarily the best use of that land in the long run. In the short run in the next year or so I believe that it is perhaps the best use. After considering that I have to consider the relocation, the street improvements and the neighborhood itself. Relocation fees I think about what many residents have called me and said. Despite the fact that we have lived here for a long time, many of them are interested in accepting this offer. Despite the fact that it is not going to be equity many are interested in accepting this offer. And despite the fact that many of these trailers will not be able to be relocated they are interested in accepting the offer. And I hear that and I think that is significant. And I think it is important to listen. I think that where I really get stumped on this issue is the offer of street improvement. It is a $30,000 offer when the council has clearly made a plea for Eagle to provide more. I am sort of sadden here that the grocery store has felt that $30,000 is enough and that its offer to donate 7.5 feet on the east side of First Avenue and 7 feet on Muscatine is legitimate. I think that is ridicules and I think that the company should give more. I am really not happy about that and it is a real sticky point for me. I wish that the company would come up here and say we contribute the $80,000. I believe that they probably could. And then the other issue I wanted to bring up was the character of the neighborhood. The size of the store in this residential area is huge. And I think that the neighbors are excited to see this there but I also believe that they may not be happy with the size of the store that is bigger than Econofoods in that neighborhood. Maybe, I don't know. Maybe they would be happy. When I shift through all of these issues and come back to something that is what Karen said is a paramount concern and that is the relocation. Granted that the fact that I am very unhappy with the way that Eagle has come forward and offered only $30,000. I think that is inappropriate. I think the concerns of neighbors are paramount important and I think that I am willing to go along wi th the rezoning because I think that the neighbors, the people in Towncrest, are interested in moving out of this because they see that the city isn't going to do anything regardless of the possibility of doing something and the would like to move on to another area and they find that this is acceptable. I appreciate Eagles coming up from $60,000 or whatever the amount was to the $145,000 offer. And I think that is commendable. I am not all happy with the improvements but given the fact that I think that these people need to be compensated because we should worry about affordable housing .-==~ ~ -..-:- 1 '0,_) c:; -'r - - ~" . - ~.

Karen, do you have some confidence in the numbers that you have come up with as far as ownership is concerned because I have been very concerned about ownership and equity and all of this and the numbers that I read in some previous council material are that there are 66 trailers and of those 56 are rentals, only 10 are owner occupied. KubbYI I got my numbers from Ed Murphy via the last p.h. and Ed did a survey earlier on and some people have left, other people have come in, so things have changed since that one survey. ut the numbers I got were what Ed gave us. Novl You said that there were 11 owner occupied and that were not movable. I understand that there are 11 owner occupied trailers but some may be movable. Kubbyl I said that only 11 households are owner occupied trailers that can be relocated and that 26 will receive the $3,000- 4,000 compensation and they will not be able to be relocated and they will sign away salvage rights as well. So over half of them will not be relocated. Novl Because they are owner occupied or not is my real concern. if they own a rental unit, if they are renting and have to be relocated and they do not move the trailer with them that is not my concern. KUbbYI There are six people in that category. And the rest of the 43 are owner- Novl We need to really worry about those kinds of people. That is one of our main concerns and I think we need to readjust, rediscover or whatever to be sure that we have those numbers accurate. I believe that those who do relocate if we rezone this will not get along the contribution from Eagles alone. We will have to put some city funding or some eDBG funding from the federal government that will have to be spent by the ci ty for the purpose of these residences and I agree with Karen on the fact that our eyes have been open and the city is going forward on a city owned trailer park. There is a positive aspect of this. I think that fact that we will have to do something about the streets is important to recognize. Our eIP budget will increase. It will increase no matter how much Eagles puts into it. The same way our relocation costs are going to increase. And based on all of this I am not ready to decide. . ",.... ,...'.-:~r ' ~ , 0 ) ~. .

I think deferring for two weeks and thinking about it for two weeks more is important and I am hoping that these kinds of things will be more accurately presented at that time. I ~ ~ [1 :.t [1 ~' II ,'"." ,: " 1 " f i-. Horow/ I, too, have considered this for quite a while. I have also spoken with the chairman of the P/Z Commission who asked me to relate that P/Z turned this down because at the time that they looked at this there was not the availability of RFBH. There is now that the city is working on this. That from their point of view they are comfortable with the changing of the zoning on all of this. We have consistently looked at this from a land use point of view. I have talked with the neighbors. There are neighbors not only adjacent to this but also in the immediate area who have told me that they are delighted that they know longer have to increase the traffic heading south on First Avenue to go to the south part of the city where all the grocery stores are. They have, for some time, wished that there was another grocery store in that area. I feel that the city's relocation efforts we have made a commitment to that no matter what. I would certainly be remiss if I said I would not want $150,000 that Eagle is willing to give me to assist the tax payers in helping relocate these people. I am sorry but I am not about to turn down $150,000. We have heard from the people who live there. They want us to help them. They asked us to listen to them. Frankly, I am willing to go along with this. And so you do have your indication. According to my count, there are a majority of people who would lilte to have this land rezoned. throg/ Could I make another brief comment. It is clear that there is a majority in favor so I won't belabor that. I think we are on the verge of making a mistake and I am not going to belabor that either. What I would like to do is draw attention to the importance of item 4d on page 2 of the condi tional zoning agreement which indicates that the Director of PCD must approve a concept plan including the elevation drawings, landscape plan, provisions for landscape buffers between the proposed development and existing residential development to the north and east of the property and so and I think the point I would like to make is this is not just a li ttle neighborhood store. It is a 67,000 sq. ft. development. It is very large and it could easily overwhelm the neighborhood if it is not well designed. So, I guess I would like to plea with Eagle and with staff to strive to make sure the store will blend in with the surrounding neighborhood, blend in with the surrounding homes and contribute towards creating a vital center for that area. otherwise- it will be good in many ways but really quite harmful in many others. . /-- , ' r I ,:\ ( -.~, I \\ \i ';\; 11 , ~, ;: . ,i : ! !

'. #6d page 7 Kubby/ I guess I, too, want to make one last comment and that is I want to make it real clear that there are other costs to the city. When we make a decision like this that rearranges our eIP that means that other neighborhoods and other city needs get pushed back and we mayor may not end up getting to some of those and that is a cost to tax payers and quality of life and possibly in tax dollars. So, I think we just need to recognize that and accept that so it is not just that we can't say no to $150,000. It is a much larger issue than that. And for me it is another example of how easy this is for us to inconvenience and change the lives of low income households for the benefit of certain kinds of development and I, too, want that corner redeveloped. I live right next to it. It needs to be redeveloped. I just don't think it needs to be bigger and that we shouldn't take the first thing that comes to us. Horow/ okay. We have a motion on the floor to defer this to May 10. We have had discussion. Is there any further discussion. I would like a roll call on this if possible. Gentry/ Okay, no problem.

The question had to do with a spill of oil and PCBs at that site. Ms. gentry, would you like to give us the information that you have. Gentry/ Yes, I think the property owner may have some new ideas they want to present tonight. but with respect to the site assessment we did contact the EPA and they suggested certain levels of contaminant testing for the concrete as well as the soil. Ironically enough the concrete is gone. The gentleman suggested there is probably is nothing in the soil but we do have the contaminant levels that would be appropriate for the soil for the testing and if they come up below that level then the site is considered clean for EPA purposes. And for PCB regulation for some reason, EPA has kept that to themselves rather than passing it on to the DNR and I have confirmed that with the DNR. you still have the opportunity, even if the property owners choose not to dedicate that as a public street, it is my opinion that in talking with Rick Fosse and Chuck Schmadeke that we will need still need a public access easement for fire protection purposes and possibly for garbage collection and other city services and still need an easement access which is still one of those bundle of sticks of property rights and so it is my opinion that you will still have the right to require a site assessment if you choose even though we will not be fee title holders. We will still have a property interest of lesser magnitude than fee title which is all the bundle of sticks of property owner. Nov/ Does this pertain to the vote on the ordinance or just the resolution approving the plat. Gentry/ It pertains to the resolution on the preliminary plat and you have a corrected copy that Marsha and I have redrafted on item Gi. So h. the ordinance on conditional zoning does not change, the resolution on the preliminary plat is the conditions for the site assessment. Horow/ So we are voting on the ordinance right now. Chair would entertain a motion to adopt the ordinance. Moved by Lehman, seconded by Nov. Discussion. Throg/ It is worth saying that the spills that have occurred were very small spills. He didn't use those words but just to make sure that other people who might be listening. Nov/ They were a leak from a gasket rather than a can of oil that poured out on the concrete.

Nov / We have a new resolution which resolution does accept the necessity for the developer to go through the test and meet the EPA standards on PCB contaminant. Now, do we also want to consider testing the flood plain/floodway changes which have been proposed by Mr. Rhodes that came up at yesterdays meeting. KUbby/ Before we talk about that I would really appreciate it if sandy could come up again and - Horow/ Do you have a question for him. This is not a p.h. Do you have a specific question. Kubby/ I want to make sure that I understand the memo that he gave us and I think if we are going to talk about it it would be good to have an explanation for the public as well as- Baker/ I agree also. I was wondering if the staff has had the time to go into this and respond to it. Kubby/ So before the response even I would like to hear the idea and the concern and then hear the response. Horow/ Give us a very terse abstract here. Richard (Sandy) Rhodes/ Thank you very much Madam Mayor. My signature is even more legible than usual because I rushed it. I hope you all have had an opportunity to look at my letter. I have what I regard a fairly serious concerns about the fill that is being placed in the 100 year flood plain. Up onto the edge of the floodway on the north end of the ADS site we know that any flood plain may be filled from both sides to the floodway edge and it will increase the water level of the 100 year flood by no more than one foot. I have been told in P/Z meetings and have heard the city engineer say that this falls within that provision, it is therefore legal, and therefore can take place. My concerns are that we do not know how much less than one foot this elevation of a 100 year flood will be. We do not know what the effect on the five year flood, ten year flood, the 25 year flood and so on will be. We do not know the elevations of the houses on the east side of the creek, the existing houses on the east side of the creek and how they will be impacted by the unknown but less than one foot increase in flood levels. There are approximately, and let me look at my letter to make sure I have this right, there are 12 dwellings that represent 14 households that are within the 100 year flood plain on the east side of the creek. These are on Sheridan Avenue and Rundell Street. There are six additional existing dwellings that may be one foot or less above the presence 100 year flood elevation. To me it is the :f(--'" 0 ....." .-- -,-'- ~~ o ,) _I... - ~. ~ I , , t. t ,) o ~o' of " " ,:t'l\S::t.'l' , ' (-. r ,-i\ . ( \ \, \ I "\' i, ,I ., t:~~..\ 'I' \ I i- I I I .

". ~ I \\ I, ~ " , ,~, ,','j , " . :.", ";'r: _',',0 #6i page 2 essence of planning is finding out the effects of what you are going to do before you do it. I think it is incumbent upon the city, given what happen last year and the extensive flooding that we had, that we look at this before you allow the fill to be placed on the ADS site. certainly if you can be concerned with landscaping and shrubbery protecting existing housing from the visual and noise impact of a commercial development, I think you can be concerned about the impact of potential flood waters which are more hazardous than noise and visual pollution. Kubby/ Sandy, to make sure I understand, you are saying if we allow fill on one property on one side of the creek when it rains and the creek doesn't have any place to go, it is going to go into the lower areas that currently have houses on them and there is possibly the potential for greater flooding then than now with no fill. Rhodes/ That is correct. KUbby/ In a certain sense I am feeling this conflict in a couple of values here. Or maybe it is in our laws. One is says you have to go a foot above the 100 year flood plain to build, otherwise they don't want you to build. In order to let you build you fill it so that it impacts on neighboring properties. Rhodes/ There are potential engineering solutions that could allow an adequate volume of flood waters to pass while still allowing the raising of properties to build the houses at the ADS site. Kubby/So those two things don't ave to be in conflict. Rhodes/ They are not mutually exclusive. I am no hydrologic engineer. That is why I want one to look at this situation before we endanger 20 different households. Horow/ I think in fairness to what you have said, because I do appreciate that particular point of vi.ew, I think it is only fair to ask developer's engineer if he wishes to comment on Mr. Rhode's comments. Nov/ Do you have any information about the recent flooding, summer 1993 flooding, and its affect on those homes that we are now concerned about. Rhodes/ I have no information whatsoever on those. Nov/ We had relatively good luck with Ralston Creek this summer in that particular area because of other upstream kinds of basins and that sort of control systems. I have no actual concrete -. ='-- ') '0' '..',' ", ',', "', --- - ~. . " - r""" 'l'l:;. I ,.( ...J ~o " ~:7.:.:.1 , i , '~" I ' \ \. ~ , I I !' , '(., " , . . , , I \ ( , \~, t~~~ i:i~t'\~i .."

Atkins/ No I have not other than the subdivision satisfied all of our regulations. Rhodes/ I might mention that I went to the engineer's office to get the flood plain map to see what the extent of the fill would be in the flood plain and I inquired very specifically at the time whether those flood, 100 year flood limit, on those maps reflected the construction of the South Branch Ralston Creek Storm Water Detention Facility out on Scott Blvd. And the very specific answer was yes that they did reflect the presence of that storm water detention facility. So that does not in any way lessen the impact, that is the wrong way to phrase it. Nov/ The impact is accounted for- Rhodes/ Thank you, Karen. The impact is accounted for. Nov/ And of course the amount of paving that the new development would contain is not accounted for. Rhodes/ That is true but I think that is fairly minor on the ADS property but there are other large areas of paving going in such as the City High Parking Lot, the new parking lot, which is several acres which is not accounted for in the flood plain. Horow/ Thank you very much. Throg/ Sue, I would also like to be able to ask anybody from the Longfellow Neighborhood Association who happens to be here and who might want to speak. I would like to ask them a similar kind of question. Larry Schnittjer/ MMS Consultants. We have been working on this project for a little over a year now and in regard to the questions on the flooding, Jim has related several times that he did go out to the site during the heavy rains last summer and that at no time was the creek our of its banks. I can't relate to that because I did not observe that. And whether there are residents out there that observed something that Jim didn't, I don't know. But as far as the amount of filling that is proposed and the site I, at this point in time, can't refute what Sandy has projected because we have not done a super fine final grading plan. We have done a grading plan that will allow us to do our temporary filling in there and do another one at the time we finalize the subdivision plans. And we don't anticipate that we will be exceeding what Sandy has projected. It probably will be less than that.

Whether there will be any impact or whether it will be minor or whether it be some what major, I can't tell you that. If that information is necessary we will figure out some way to find it out. CHANGE TAPE TO REEL 94-64 S2 Schnittjerj And if you want to change the ordinance that is up to you. Horowj Thank you. Do you have a specific question. Throgj Yeah, I would like to ask Pat Folsom or anyone else from the Longfellow Neighborhood Association who might like to address this question. If you don't want to feel free not to. The basic question is whether any homeowners on the east side of Ralston creek have experienced flooding last year or have the same kind of fears as expressed in Sandy's memo to us. Randy Neprashj I live in the Longfellow neighborhood. I am also a civil engineer. To my knowledge I am not aware of anyone on the east side of the bank who has come forward with a specific flooding problem. Addressing some of the other questions that have come up in the last ten minutes. Last summer Ralston Creek exceeded its banks at my household once. It came about half way up into the backyard. It didn't reach the house but it exceeded the banks. In a broader sense this raises some short term and long term questions for you folks. These house in question on the east side of Ralston creek pre date a lot of flood control provisions for housing construction. Also this creek, the flood plain, and the flood way have changed over time. certainly since those houses were built. The storm water detention facility is an excellent example of that. Another factor is increased development, paving over, etc./ etc. I have had a conversation with some of the federal people who administer some of the floodway provisions and the one foot line is not a magic line. There are some flood studies where going into flood study they use a smaller increment than a one foot increase for the 100 year flood in their flood studies. It is not the case in this flood study. This flood study appears to have used the one foot but it is not a number that appears to be cast in stone. Also, a factor to consider may be how the flood studies ar done. I am somewhat familiar with a computer model that is used. It is referred to as Eck 2 (sp?) written by the Army Corps of Engineers. If it is possible to dig up the original computer files that were used for this flood study it may be possible to include one or two new cross sections in that flood study. The new shape of the channel for the creek and simply rerun the model to see what it looks like. That may be a job that is feasible. I cannot say for sure one way or another. - _8 r .......,,-- .-- o :),",., ~. . r i I 10 ~ I ~ '}t.., rJ -d. "., l ^ ~l.\:.i'j;';l. /..~ , l ..-\ --,,\ r ' \ \ " I \ \ ~ .~ (';:;.(~~ !

The motion is on the table and has been seconded. David Poula/ I only have one sentence to share with you tonight although I will add more. Can we agree that the discharge of a non polluting substance cannot cause pollution of the earth on to which it was discharged. Throg/ What is the meaning of the question. Poula/ I did not know that council asked IIGE directly for some information which she never received. They sent me a five page fax which I will share with council in just a second here. The PCB levels were tested on the three containers that make up the substation. The federal PCB allowable level is 500 parts per million. The tests indicate 293 in one tank, 204 in another tank and 173 in another tank. If the PCB levels as measured do not reach the federal threshold then there can be no pollution on there. That is our position. I will handout these pages for the councils consideration. The tests are referred to by number. I only have one copy of this. I just got this at 7:30. It is the log sheet which puts the two together. D I Horow/ I appreciate that. I am sure you realize that council is representing the citizens in this part and their concern for any potential problems. Thank you very much. Gentry/ Incidently, I asked for this information three weeks ago from IIGE. Horow/ Great. Any further discussion on this. Kubby/ I think we probably need to answer the question that was just asked because it may change how the resolution reads. Throg/ You mean this one, the one David just asked about. Kubby/ Even though we have a concern, and I believe a legitimate concern, if we know on the front end that if the oil had been spilled and not been cleaned up and we tested it it would still be deemed clean upon testing, why go through the rigamaroll and so even though I an very concerned about the environment and contamination, there is some logic and expense here that isn't going to help alleviate fears of the neighborhood. Horow/ And it is not going to help alleviate it because the material not there any longer as I understand it. Kubby/ In a certain sense we can deduce that the tests will come out clean. - ~.. .- J , I lei, 0 "5 l.. , , ,,.;,, ..

Kubby/ But even if there are traces there it is at a level that would be deemed clean even if it were there in full concentration. Horow/ This is not a p.h. We have got to make a decision on this. Kubby/But we are talking about a $7,000 decision. I think we need to- Gentry/ You can have public discussion. You should always have discussion among yourselves. Throg/ I would like to ask a specific question. We just got this form. Trying to hurry through it. I heard David use the expression 500 parts per million and I am looking at figures on here that say 293 parts per million. But what I recall and I am just trying to find out if I am correct, that the form we received earlier as a part of the plat-the letter to Linda Gentry from 11GE talked about 500-1 thought it said parts per billion and I needed to check it out. Horow/ Does someone have a question for Sue specifically. Sue Scotti I had a question about the PCBs, I guess. I live at 722 Rundell Street and I am president of the Longfellow Neighborhood Association. We are just wondering if based on the information that Mr. poula what we assume those counts were recently taken by 11GE and does that assume that the same oil spilled in the 1950s and 1970s was the same oil that was removed what could have been 40 years later in the 1990s and if that is the case has the threshold for PCB contamination changed in that span of time. The other thing that I wanted to point out is I am not sure where the $7,000 figure that the developer and his counsel and engineers have talked about. I, again, contacted the State Hygienic Lab at Oakdale and they told me the same thing the second phone call as they did the first phone call and that ~1aS that they can test for PCB contamination in soil for $150 per sample. They will not come out and get the sample but they said that it is something that they can give you directions on just exactly how to do it. They can tell you where to take the samples, how to take the samples. But the cost is not a $1,000 per sample. It is only $150 per sample and they do that routinely at the Oakdale Hygienic Lab facilities. Kubby/ Thank you for that verification. So the levels that are in this fax are ones that are currently used in the oil today. NOV/ 1983 is the date on this if you go to the last two pages. . u_ ~ ,): .' I," .' , 0 ,.'" , _u ~. . ~ ""1"". I~ o , ! ~d.. ~:.\~l '.. ^ "-1 ."to, . \-\t,'~ .> , " ,,', , '~'T. . ,~_.__~_~l - , #6i page 7 Throg/ I wonder if David could clarify on the report for us a little bit. The last two pages indicate there were samples taken three different dates in 1983. The first page is dated 1992. Poula/ No, that is a summary sheet that they included. What it did is they transcribed the bottom of the 83-84 data over to that 92 sheet. I did not edit the document. The reason for the two pages of the CFR, the Code of federal Regulations, is there is a verification on page 2 about three inches down on the left hand column verifying the 500 parts per million also. In terms of the oil, this is the same oil that was poured in the day they put in the transformer as they took out. This is my information from ~rr. Duffy. The oil was never changed. In terms of the test being ten years old, I am not a chemist by I am reliably informed that PCBs do not breed, multiply or change. It is simply a molecule like a molecule of water and so the PCBS would not change in a decade absent the addition of more fluid or subtraction of fluid. There is not record that any addition or subtraction occurred since 1970. And this can be verified by council directly by IIGE people if this is the question. ",.~.~.... ,( (~..\ \, \ ~ 1 , .' ::.

Kubby/ I guess I would like to hear what people are thinking about in terms of testing the soil now and in terms of the fill. Throg/ One thing that I am thinking is this is a staff matter in terms of reviewing this kind of detail for a particular application. Turns out that we have in front of us right now. I don't know that we should consider ourselves confident to judge this. Gentry/ IIGE could have made this a lot easier by bringing this information forward three weeks ago when I asked for it. Nov/ Yeah, there is no question about that. Throg/ So you asked for it three weeks ago. Gentry/ I did. I specifically asked for it. This very thing. I said I want to see the inspection reports. v Throg/ What would be the merit of deferring. Kubby/ So staff could look at this and- Gentry/ I would appreciate it, yes.

Horow/ The maker of the motion and the seconder have withdrawn. Chair would entertain a motion to defer this until May 10. Moved by Kubby, seconded by Pigott to defer. Any Discussion. Baker/ I sort of think this particular issue will be easily resolved. It is the other issue that has been raised tonight I would like to also have the staff look at, Sandy's letter. It may resolvable as well in the next few weeks. I ma not sure that we need to do something in addition to this but I would like to have staff respond more formally to his concerns. Or have you already done that. Nov/ I think engineering staff should really look at it. Baker/ It is not a legal question, it is an engineering question. Franklin/ If you want the evaluation that Sandy has alluded to then we need to go outside for that because we don't have the computer program that does that analysis. Baker/ No, I am not saying that is what I want. I am saying I want you to respond to whether or not you think it is a good idea or a legitimate concern. b Franklin/ okay. Nov/ We may get a response from our engineering staff that says that because of our ameliorating plan for Ralston Creek which has been in affect for the past ten years we did not have any problems during this 100 year flood or 500 year flood. Nobody quite understands how serious our flood was this 1993. Franklin/ okay, so you are interested in what the impact was in the 1993 event to houses on Rundell. If they had any problems.

One is after the situation off of Lakeside where there was an isolated parcel that people kind of interpreted as open space and it was really zoned kind of high density. There was some conflict between the developer when the infill development was to take place. There was a suggestion after that that we look at other infill areas to see what the zoning is and to see if we want that zoning to be maintained and if we want to change some zoning to do so before a specific application comes in. And we have really never done any follow up on that. And I found it on a piece of paper on my desk and thought that we had better look at that before other applications come in. I don't know how big of a deal that is to do, how many infill parcels there are that are individual parcels- Horow/ Karin Franklin could you please come to the mic. Kubby/ I am suggesting that we look at the zoning map and see where there are some infill parcels in already developed neighborhoods and sections of town to see if we like what the current zoning is. So that if we want to change them we can do so before specific application comes in. o Franklin/ Okay. Kubby / Is that a big deal to do-to make a list of parcels, locations and current zoning. Franklin/ When do you want it by. Atkins/ We did that infill when we were looking for sites, remember. We looked around town. I'~ " Franklin/ We were looking for lots for affordable housing so we have got a couple of inventories. One, a city owned property and one is vacant lots for s.f. Kubby / Where this came from, I will say it again, it is that property near Lakeside Apartment that was rezoned. So that we can double check before an application can come in that we like our current infill parcels zoning. NOV/ But it was something that had not been rezoned. It just it had built- ;~ Franklin/ That is the point is that should we be looking at zonings in some of those areas. I think probably we know a lot of them just off the top of our heads. Kubby/ So, in the next month could we get a list. ,'"1 ',' ,...1 ::,' ~ ~ :\ {(---- 0 - ....

Nov/ I don't think it would be too much to just hand us a list. I think you would have to give us an evaluation. Here is this spot and here is the zone, you do or do not think it is appropriate. Franklin/ That is a bigger project. Horow/ This is getting to be a bigger project here, folks. Kubby/ No, I think a list is okay because if I interested in this, I can take the list and I get look at the zoning map and I can see where the parcel is and what is zoned around it. I can do that work on my own and each of us if we are interested. Franklin/ We will give you a list and give you a map that shows you-or put a map up in the conference room that shows you where they are and then you can either look at them yourselves in the field or look at them on the map. However you wish to and decide to go further with it. Horow/ Are four people wanting to do this. Baker/ Again, how big of a hassle is it. I was going to say something but as soon as I said it, it was going to complicate the issue and make your life living hell. Horow/ We have got four people interested in doing specifically just the- Franklin/ We are a little tight right now. We have got the visioning project, staff changes. We will make a goof faith effort to get it done. Nov/ Karen, would you be agreeable to saying this is okay in July after the visioning process. Kubby/ That would be fine. Franklin/ Okay. Kubby/ Is isn't an immediate thing but the more we put it off it can become immediate. My other thing is about the way that our parking ticket escalation program is working. And I frankly don't have a problem with escalating the tickets. What I have had some calls about is that say you had ticket #1, when you get ticket #2 and you pay and you didn't pay ticket #1 so it escalated. But you did pay ticket #2 on time and you put it in the envelope and everything. They take the money from ticket #2 :C'~ 0 0] · -" ~-' - -~-'-IW.~ ~' . o 'JS ~Oi ....,. " '1J:1:'.:ffi'j ',\ \. , ". , .\)' . "1\\' .' .: " "'.', ~ .'w.,. . .....-'" ..., .:.' . #15 page 3 which was not escalated and put it against ticket #1 so then ticket #2 escalates when you have had good faith effort paying #2 and I don't think that is fair. I think you should be able to designate which ticket your money has been paid for. Because I talked to Don and Don wants to keep it the way it is. I have talked to him about this. And I want to let people designate what ticket their money is being paid for. Pigott/ Is there a simple way to do that. Gentry/ They all have numbers on them. KUbby/ Put the ticket number on your check or put it together with the ticket- Horow/ Why don't you just pay the first ticket if they are numbered. Pay the first ticket that you have got. Kubby/ If your tickets are up to $15 and you only have $5 and you want to make sure that second ticket doesn't escalate you pay the $5 for the ticket to not escalate and then you end up with a $10 fine that is due instead of having a $15 balance due. That is why. Horow/ Frankly, I would have borrowed the money and gotten rid of the escalating problem. Kubby/ you are lucky that you are in a situation that you have friends that you can borrow money from and pay them back. Nov/ It isn't just that. There was also a problem where someone did not know they had a ticket. Some cute kid took the ticket off the windshield and then they were billed for the escalated ticket they hadn't paid, if they had known they would have paid. So this is a complex issue, they is no question about it. Can we get a staff opinion on why and how this works. Please. Throg/ I certainly have received several complaints as well about the process. I don't know that I agree with Karen's solution, it seems like it might be worth looking at. Atkins/ I will prepare something. Nov/ I will remind everybody that the last Legislative Forum is this saturday morning at 9:30 at the Iowa City Public Library. If you want to go pester your state legislators about why they voted this way or that or just find out, it is a good time to do it. Throg/ I would like to tell you about a new book I just received and it is really hot off the press. It is a book by Randall ""l'JI.,'_I'" ~'~,J:i ~~~~, iill11"', ., " .,';~.~. _......,~ (" o , "',' ..--_._------~-_. - ),..,..,,"."" o " " ..," ,",' \ .,: - - ~. . ~ i , ~ , , " '1:"'.',., /5 10 " .~"TIf2i , r .,\ (-"\ >\ ) \~ i~ I i i I" I , ~' i !'. ii, : I i ~'; \~". , j , I'~'~ fWi " .:' ,'\l~, I t','" t~I;I;~ " ""1"', "--.... :,C'-o Y" " , ',,' ."

And it is about the affect contemporary zoning codes have had on small towns. So it also contains a large number of case studies about efforts to contain suburban sprawl. So, those efforts which are documented at length in this book, it is really a very interesting book, seek to preserve the quality of agricultural land. They seek to preserve natural areas. They seek to preserve the character of existing towns and to build new neighborhoods rather than formless developments that lack a sense of community and a sense of place. I know Karin probably knows about it because it is in the back of Planning magazine this month, right. But I encourage you to take a look at it. Also I would encourage people to watch it on t.v. who are interested in this issue. Take a look at it. Kubby/ Is it readable for lay people. Throg/ It is readable. It is also pretty long. I don't want to make it sound as if it is a breeze to go through. It is about 500 pages. Horow/ Small print, too. Throg/ It is small print but it is a really nice resource that is full of case studies of other cities and other towns around the country who are comparable in size and character to Iowa city and surrounding communities of Iowa city. It addresses the kind of thing that you and I have talked about before. Pigott/ What book store. Horow/ wait a minute... Pigott/ A couple of things. I was reminded by an article in the newspaper last week about the issue of bicycles and that reminded me of an item that we had that Steve, you presented a special meeting discussion item. One of them is d.t. bike racks. I am wondering whether we need a special meeting to discuss that or whether we can put that on an informal work session agenda because I just got the sense in discussions that there could be a majority of people in favor of additional bike racks and purchasing bike lockers and whether we cold or would we as a council be willing to talk about that in an informal session instead of using that special meeting and in the next, say, month. Atkins/ It is really a matter of scheduling. We have thee map drawn that shows all the locations and numbers of bike racks d.t. We have a brochure that indicates what bike lockers cost and quite frankly, we are just kind of sitting on the :~.._.. , -- ,{,'",,]" '. ~ .... . l I I '.~ I- ... , ,10, },;Eitt1 I \ t1 I I I I I I ,( , I : I 1 ""I ',~~ ;:1 '- (- ~"' , , .. ,_ 0 ',' I '" . . ~t '.\ :,. .. \ '" . :.' . #15 page 5 information to find a convenient time to get it on an agenda so we can talk about it. We are scheduled for the 19th for solid waste. This I don't think is a particularly long winded issue. We could add it. Throg/ Why don't we do it at the next work session. Kubby/ There is a lot of controversy about other bike issues like should be bicyclists be in bike lanes or on wide sidewalks. be a question Certainly a Horow/ But couldn't that be addressed-why not that raised through the visioning process. transportation element of it. Kubby / In terms of a policy that we encourage bike lanes or encourage- Horow/ I hate for us to spend time on this when we have got this group already formed. Kubby/ I guess it would go to the transportation. Maybe we could just make a suggestion that we would like some kind of discussion on the topic. I like that. Throg/ That concerns bike lanes, right. Kubby/ Right, not the locker. Atkins/ This goes through cycles. A number of years ago we had bike lanes and then let's get rid of the bike lanes. Now, the interest I think is beginning to push the other direction. Horow/ What is council's desire about bike racks and bike lockers. Kubby/ Informal is fine. Horow/ Okay. Pigott/ Second thing is given the speed with which we decided the Near South Side Urban Commercial Revitalization Zone issue tonight I just thought maybe I could add a few words about the vote and not open up a pandora's box. Just to say a couple of things about the way I think the process went and there will be inevitably a lot of discussion about this issue because it has been at the forward for the past several months or it was before us and I just want to say a couple of things. One thing was that often times we had heard in discussions or through things that councilors that weren't immediately supporting the project were obstructionists or were seeking to stop growth. Words of those sorts. Rhetorical flourishes were out in debate. And I wanted to say that I thought members of .,.. - '-' ,-- - - Hr' ~~_o ,): ' ~' . o I , , t. l ~) , ~[] ,f ;, i. , ' li~:1 /.-....' .l r-'\ \1 \~ '.? . h'(~ ,. f--i-\ ~ " 'I., " ~ I ~ I I" i, , I I i I i , I :: II I ' I I " I I ~, I! : I.

' ..."...-.-"...,........ #15 page 6 the council that I worked with on this issue really worked very hard to come to some sort of compromise on the issue where at first at least it seemed to be one of those inevitably divisive issues where we would be split 4-3 in a way that was along the traditional notions that people paint about a liberal/conservative council. And I don't think it was fair nor do I think it is one of those things that actually did happen and I just wanted to say that I thought that all of the councilors really made an effort to compromise. Larry Baker, Jim Throg and myself, Karen, everyone here I think made an effort to work at coming to an agreement. Because we voted this down I would also like to say didn't-doesn't mean that we don't appreciate Freida's willingness to put up a structure in d.t. Iowa city. I hope she goes forward and does it without a tax abatement. And furthermore, the final thing I want to say about this is that it is important for us to go ahead and consider the Near South Side and our vision for the future anyway. I hope that because we voted this down 4-3 tonight doesn't preclude us from working together as a council to make this area a real place where all of us can enjoy the diverse of mixes of use that we aim to accomplish and perhaps this effort at it didn't work but another one down the road will. I look forward to working with everyone to see that happen. KUbby/ Nicely said, thanks. Nov/ Either we have to emphasize that all of us did give this careful serious consideration and in spite what may have appeared in the paper we do not have problems working together. Baker/ Yeah, I would like to follow up on something Bruno just talked about. I got two minor issues. I want to make it clear that indeed the council-this is the most diverse council I think we have had in the last ten years or maybe even longer in Iowa city and it is going to require a lot of work on everybody's part to come together on these things. We are going to have to build up a level of trust from all sorts of sides and I think it is important therefore that we don't just simply drop the issue because we couldn't reach agreement at this time. We should, Karin is going to come back to us very shortly with a proposal to hire an outside consultant or whatever to look at this area in general and he or she can look at this south of Court street, south of Burlington. Nov/ When does that happen. Kubby/ She will come to us to say whether we need to do that or not.

Kubby/ We did direct staff to look at what it would take to do the planning and one of the things that Karen said could possibly come from that is a proposal to go- Horow/ That was before this was defeated. Baker/ Absolutely. My point is we shouldn't let it drop just because it got defeated. Horow/ Now this has to be re-brought- But she has no direction right now. Kubby/ I would look at it the other way that direction would have to be to stop that direction. Nothing has changed about our need or our desire to re-Iook at the South Side because it was voted down. Horow/ Karen, we just got through taking those votes and there was no request from any member of council to propose an alternative. As far as the public goes- KUbby/ Just because the CB-5 discussion is dead in that direction doesn't negate the direction that we gave to staff about the whole 20 block area. And I would say that we don't need direction to have them to give them the same direction again but if people don't want to do that then you need to see if you have four votes to negate that direction. Baker/ I am assuming there are still a majority of council that wanted to work on the South Side area. We couldn't agree to the terms of this particular proposal. It doesn't mean that we don't see the need to do something down there and we need to keep working at that. Horow/ I think that is a very realistic picture. Everybody has suggested this. Ernie certainly has come up with what I think is a reasonable compromise suggestion but that has not been placed on the table yet and until such a motion is made we essentially are in a holding pattern. Staff has no direction for us to do something. True. Franklin/ Could I suggest that we do come back to you with something which identifies the issues that we see that you are facing in the Near South Side and suggest to you some kind of strategy in reaching a consensus on how we are going to proceed with setting a direction for the area because I think it is unclear in the pUblic's mind as to what it is we want to have happen. It will take some time to sit back reflect on this. It won't come to you next meeting but the last one in May.

Kubby/ Isn't that our previous direction to staff was just that, wasn't it. Baker/ The previous direction to staff was specific to that area south of Court. What I think that we need to now, since we have not done anything with the area Burlington to Curt, that has got to become part of the - Franklin/ The previous direction is to look at a design plan for the area south of Court street and also-well, it was going to include from Burlington to court, too, in terms of any kind of public amenities. The ideas that Jim and Bruno brought forth and how we would actually crystalize that into something that people could see. I think given that your efforts so far haven't come to anything tangible, that what we need to do is identify what the issues are out there now so that we can all agree on what those are and what steps we are going to take then which the design plan is one component of it. Kubby / And I think it is really important for the public to remember we have already done things south of Burlington. We have got a plan. We have changed the zoning. We are talking about parking structures. We are talking about streetscape plans. It is not like we have no vision for south of Burlington. That is incorrect. I G i' Franklin/ We just need to take the next step. Throg/ I would very much support the way you phased that Karin. particularly with regard to trying to incorporate the kinds of suggestions that we have talked about several weeks ago with regard to the design plan. I think there is a clear majority, probably a strong majority on the council to do something on the south side and that we have struggled to be clear about what it would be and we have not been able to do that thus far. But I think we want to. So, coming back to us with some suggestions about how to clarify some of those issues, how to resolve some of them would be a very helpful thing to do. Baker/ My point was not to step back indefinitely but to keep it in very near focus. I didn't want the public to think that we were just walking away from this whole concept and weren't going to do anything because I think it is very likely that we will do something down there dramatically we hope. That was the big item. Two smaller specific items.

We had talked in January about moving informal meetings around to various locating and groups of people. One of the groups that I talked about was student involvement. I have talked to the president of the student body-the new one, Lowman. I talked to him and he was very interested in the idea of having us sometime in the future work with student government for an informal meeting. I suggested that he has got to get his group on the ground working. The summer is a bad time to do this but Marian has sent them schedule of our meetings up through the fall and I told John, you pick a date that is convenient to you on one of our regular dates and give us plenty of time to work out the details and get back with us sometime this summer and we will try to get together sometime this fall. That is in the works. And that was all I have. " , ' Horow/ I would like to remind people about project Green, May 7, from 9-11, Carver Hawkeye Arena. On May 7 also is Ralston Creek Clean Up Activity and out at Sycamore Mall Safe Kids Project-they are gathering around at Sycamore Mall for Safe Kid. I also once again would like to ask out public, your relatives, your friends, anybody. This is construction season around Iowa city. There will be detours. People are going way to fast on side streets that are not constructed for the speeds that is currently taking place right now. Please folks, slow down. You are in somebody's neighborhood and there have already been some accidents around some of the construction sites. Please start out earlier, don't speed. 1:0 (J r7 ~ ~,:" " ::J 1'1 : ~ ",;..

" " ~. . . ...:.'.', #26 page 1 Horowl (#26) Moved by Kubby, seconded by Nov. Discussion. Novl Yes, I have some discussion. First of all the idea of waiting this long to increase fees is something unheard of. We really should set a policy of reviewing Building and Housing Inspection fees in more frequent basis. Also we have a fee in here for a permit issued subsequent to the commencement of demolition work for historic building or a building within a HP District. I would like us to amend that to say any principle building within a HP District so that we will include houses but we will not include gazebos or etc. that might be in the back yard. Is this acceptable. Horowl Since I was the originator of the original amendment to this particular thing it is perfectly acceptable to me. .."-""" Kubby I Some of the accessory buildings would be considered a carriage house which is something that might be very valuable in a historic sense that would be just as important to have it be because of the principle of it as the principle building. Nov I Well, this is a fee for only those who have started their demolition without having a permit. So it is more like a fine then a fee. And if the person who came for this permit knew that they were in a historic district-they would find out from the Building Department, they would go to the HP and then they might still be allowed to demolish it because of its condition or whatever valid reason. So we are not going to literally prevent this but at least we will give people a deterrent by giving them an incentive to not start before they have a permit. Kubbyl And that incentive is true whether it is a principle building or an accessory building. Nov/ Yeah, but a permit issued subsequent to starting demolition in other place is $200. This is a $1000 and I just don't think that that is a viable fee for something other than a principle building. I think a gazebo or shed or something like that may need a demolition permit but if some homeowner decided to do that and is unaware that they needed a demolition permit we are not dealing with the kind of person who really wanted to take down a house and put up an apartment building.

Do you wish to extract this particular item and have it sent to HP Commission for a resolution of this. Novl I talked to the chair of HP and he had no problem with this and he predicted that if it went to that commission they would also have no problem with this. And this is an administrative change, not a ordinance change. Throgj If I am following this correctly and I may not be-what I am wondering is if the word building is defined anywhere in our ordinances. If it is defined already it might already address that. Kubbyl The difference is between principle and accessory building. Gentry I That would make a difference if you insert principle because Karen is right, a carriage house would be deemed an accessory use because it is a garage. Novl An historic building is not in the current ordinance at this time. Horowj Excuse me but there are carriage houses in the north end that are livable. They are not considered accessory. GentrYI I don't know. Doug would have to look at that on a case by case basis. Ron Boose is here. He might be able to answer. KubbYI So when you have a house, let's say Woodlawn. Some house on Woodlawn has a carriage house that has been converted to an apartment. Is that considered an accessory and I don't know if the answer to that question makes any difference to my argument but- Ron Boosel It would be considered an accessory building even if it were an apartment. The principle structure would be the main structure on the lot. So it were a carriage house with an apartment above a garage, it would still be considered an accessory structure. Throgl We don't want to encourage knocking down those kind of structures. Novl Yeah but I also don't want to encourage a $1000 fine for somebody who took down an old shed and didn't realize he needed a demolition permit. That there has to be something in between here.

I don't know if it fits any definition in the ordinance though. Does it. Boose/ Sounds like from your intent the word habitable structure would follow or fit the intent that I am hearing. If it were a carriage house that were strictly a garage though with nothing above it- Kubby/ No, because if your intent is to make sure that people go through the process it doesn't matter what the use of that building is whether it is a principle, accessory or habitable or not. Horow/ The intent of HP Commission, the district, is to maintain the integrity of that particular district through the height of the house of the lines. I am not sure habitable is what you want either because I can remember talking about a barn that was almost about to be torn down and it was and there was a human cry over that. That is an interesting- Baker/ I would suggest that we go ahead and pass this as is and refer this particular question back to somebody and we can add that provision later with some clearer rationale and everything. Gentry/You need to amend this to delete it. ah ,it is not in there. Nov/ My amendment was to add a word, not delete. Horow/ Let's act on the resolution as is. Nov/ No, I have one more discussion. I think our proposed fee for a major site plan review is ridiculously low. When we had LSRD type reviews we had a fee of $490. Granted this took a lot more staff time and it had to go to P/Z and it had to go to council but I still think $75 does not reflect the amount of staff time that a major site plan review entails and I think for the purposes of discussion I would like to propose $175 for the fee. Kubby/ I agree with your point. I have no idea what the fee amount should be. Nov/ It is an arbitrary number. Put a one in front of it is my choice. F042694 , -~'- ',- ,- , ,~"l'r .

These fees were prepared by staff. Is $75 enough. Nov/ On the basis of some of the other fees such a $30 an hour,no, it isn't enough. Boose/ It is probably low. We have not, or since the enactment of he site plan review and it is about a year and a half ago, it authorized a fee for that service and we never passed a resolution to collect on it. So we haven't been collecting any fee. There is a fair amount of staff time involved with several different divisions. Since we are going from zero to anything I guess we took a conservative view but I think there is definitely justification for a higher fee. Some of these site plans do involve a fair amount of staff. Baker/ What kind of time are we talking about because the item right before this, minimum hourly $30 per hour. How many hour does it take to do one of these things. Boose/ For the item before that the review of grading plans, $30 per hour, that would be done by one engineer in the Engineering Department and he would forward his time to us and we would collect it. For a major site plan review you have staff involved from our division, Building Inspection Division, Planning Department, Fire Department, Public Works Department and in some cases the city Attorney's Office and in some cases Parks and Rec depending upon the location of the site. Some of them are well prepared and don't take that much time and others, depending upon the number of deficiencies, can take quite a bit of time and quite a few meetings. pigott/ Maybe this is an issue like the last one. Baker/ let's bump it up here. We are below Coralville and Cedar Rapids, we can't let that happen. $175 as a minimum, that is a fine figure. NOV/ okay, I have a second on that figure. Horow/ Great. There is an amendment on the floor to increase this to $175. Any further discussion. All right. All those in favor signify by saying aye (ayes). back to the main motion unless you have anything else. We are considering a resolution establishing the fees. Roll call- (Yes). F042694 i.... ')".'" :.) '." -. ;"." ::,\., ","" ..'-'.".' _u......_. ",,"'"c "'.""" ,. .- o ;' ..\ ~.
