Planning & Zoning Commission December " , 994 Page 3 ZONING/ANNEXATION ITEM: 1. ANN94-0007. REZ94.0012. Public discussion of an application submitted by the City of Iowa City and Robert and Erma Wolf to annex an approximate 80 acre parcel located southeast of Sycamore Street and east of Pleasant Valley Golf Course, and rezone the property from County RS, Suburban Residential, to RFBH, Factory Built Housing Residential. Rockwell said staff had no further comments to add other than to note the letter from John Cruise, attorney for the Iowa City Community School District, stating the Board's position on the proposed annexation and rezoning. She said additional signatures on the petition against the proposal submitted by the Makada Subdivision had also been distributed to the Commission. Rockwell noted that a tenth condition to the rezoning had been added to the list of conditions at the request of the Commission. Rockwell said staff still recommends approval of ANN94-0007, a request to annex 80 acres, known as the Langenberg tract, and located immediately north of the City's south wastewater treatment facility site, and of REZ94-00' 2, a request to rezone the annexation area from County RS to RF8H, Factory Built Housing Residential, subject to the ten conditions agreed to by staff and the Commission. Jakobsen asked if the applicant had agreed to item ten. Wolf and Franklin nodded their heads in the affirmative. Dierks asked who would be responsible for the cost of installing the road referred to in condition number ten. Rockwell said the applicant would be responsible. She noted that the City and Wolf are co-applicants for this proposal. Rockwell said the east.west road construction is likely to occur in Phase Three of this project, at w~ich time the City portion of funds for the development project may already be expended. Gibson surmised there would not be a great additional cost as access would need to be provided regardless. Rockwell said this is correct. She said staff had estimated that 20 additional feet of right-of,way would be required; 50 feet instead of 30 feet. Scott noted that the Cruise letter on behalf of the Iowa City Community School District, had been received on October 24, 1994, forwarded to Scott soon thereafter, and was inadvertently not included in the November 17, 1994, Commission member packets. Scott said the letter was read and distributed at Monday night's informal Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. Public discussion: Scott said, as mentioned at Monday night's informal meeting, there has been a great deal of repetitive discussion on thls item. He stated discussion would be limited to three minutes per speaker for the first round. After everyone who wished to speak had spoken once, those who wish to speak again would be limited to one minute the second time around. Scott said should new information arise, he might allow some flexibility in these rules. ~ - - --~~ .'0-')-:- ,,.. -.. ,.' '. , , , . , ( ;!.!.~ff ; , ~ .

Planning & Zoning Commission December 1, 1994 Page 4 John Cruise, 905 Sluffwood Drive, attorney for the Iowa City Community School District, said he was speaking on behalf of Board members, as none were able to attend tonight's meeting. Cruise said he had been working closely with School Soard members and administrators in selecting the site for the school. Cruise said the school system is facing over-crowding, and there is no open enrollment in the Iowa City Community School District as a result. Cruise said the density of the proposed development will produce a lot of school age children and will have a big impact on the district. Cruise said until there is an impact fee, the School Board will continue to come before the City with their hands out, especially when large annexations that will considerably impact the school district are involved, Cruise said this proposal is im'Tlediately adjacent to the fifteen acres to be dedicated to the school district by the Sycamore Farms Development Company. Cruise said the site is proposed for a junior high school site due to the crowding problems faced at the Northwest Junior High and Southeast Junior High schools. Cruise said the school district feels that an additional five to seven acres are needed; a good junior high site requires approximately 22 total acres. Cruise said another concern the school district has is making the site accessible from several sides. Scott noted that condition number ten attempts to meet this request. ,...~..,.. " J ,~,\ \] '\; t~ 'I' 'I i I \ I" I I Jakobsen asked if the school site is pinned down and if the City had been involved in recent discussions determining the location of the site. Cruise said the site is definite, although he did not know whether the City had been involved in the meeting in which the site was determined, as he was out of town. Jakobsen said she thought it was the City's intent to place the site along the southern property line. If further discussions had taken place, the City shouid have been involved, especially considering the financial responsibility that is requested. Jakobsen was very upset that the City was not asked to attend. Cruise said he would relay that message on to those who are responsible for selecting the site. . , Marv Lewis. 56 Reoal Lane. President of the Grant Wood Neiohborhood Association, noted that many of the signatures on the petition against the Green View annexation and rezoning are from the Grant Wood area. Lewis said this was her first involvement with this proposal. She said most area residents were not even aware of the Lake Calvin proposal as there had been confusion that there are two proposals. Lewis said because of this lack of awareness, there will be a neighborhood informational meeting on December 8, 1994. , , : I ! Lewis said the main concern involved the concentration of trailer courts south of Highway 6. Lewis said it is her understanding that a reason for the Green View and Lake Calvin sites is the possible relocation of flood victims from the Thatcher and Saculis trailer courts. Lewis said she was told that at present, there are no plans to relocate these two trailer courts as a whole, and no survey had been done to find out if these residents would be interested in moving. Lewis said she has been told that Lake Calvin will resemble a typical subdivision, yet she is concerned that it will not contain new structures and wondered how these would fit in with the surrounding subdivisions. Lewis raised management concerns, Lewis noted the difficulty involved i: . I , 'f.~ ~ I~';' i . , ,I i :' J ~" ~T .~ 1,' (,,'" '~"~ )" ~J\ f"f'r.J~,[", fo' N;~l t, ,". -~ 303~ I ,/ !)

Lewis noted it is the area residents that will have to live with decisions made by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. Mark Doroinahaus. 1512 1 st Avenue. Coralville. said he is a native of Iowa City and is the business manager of the Modern Manor Mobile Home Park. Dorpinghaus wished to encourage a positive vote on Green View. ~' " I ~ I ~ I I , Dorpinghaus noted statistics, repreSentative of those found in the CHAS report, relating to the growth of mobile homes in the last twenty years in the Iowa City/Johnson County area. He said the issue comes down to providing affordable housing in the area. Dorpinghaus said he sees or knows many people on fixed incomes, or two incomes, who generally make less than $40,000 a year. A stick- framed house in Iowa City is no longer affordable for these people. Dorpinghaus said his father worked for the U.S. Postal Service for thirty years, and was able to support a family of four. own a home, and have a spouse who did not work, all on a postal worker's income. Dorpinghaus felt he makes a fairly good salary, yet he is not able to afford to buy a home in Iowa City. Dorpinghaus said the alternatives for affordable housing in the Johnson County area are about as slim. Dorpinghaus said the latest Manufactured Housing Association of Iowa statistics show a 10% increase in the number of units in Iowa over the last year. He said manufactured homes make up 22.6% of all new single-family homes constructed in Iowa this last year. Dorpinghaus feels Iowa City has an opportunity to display itself as a leader in affordable housing. C' ""\ C -:..\ \ \ 1 ~ ':-(-' : I' \ r I I " I : I I Carol Ann Marlow. 50 Amber Lane, said she would like to discourage a positive vote. Marlow said having been an apartment dweller in Iowa City for two years and now a h.ome owner, she recognizes the need for affordable housing. Marlow said she recognizes the desire for many mobile home owners to own their lot, instead of rent, as she knows some of these people. However, Marlow does not want the area property values to decline as a result. Marlow noted the desire to scatter low income housing about the city, rather than concentrating it in southeast Iowa City. Randv Moore. 4322 Daniel Place SE, said there is one point that needs revisitation. Moore said with the exception of the City and one property owner who is wintering in Florida, all of the adjacent property owners have either filed, or are prepared to file a formal protest to the rezoning. Moore said the almost 500 names on the petition demonstrate the strong opposition to this proposal. Moore reiterated that the issue is not the density of development, but the concentration of this type of development. : ! Jane Moore. 4322 Daniel Place SE, said she wished she could express all of the issues one more time, but instead she thanked the Commission members for their patience and und!lrstanding. , , , , 'r,', , I'" I .. '! ( ) ~:..-::-:::'" , f 1," Mark Edwards. 1754 Lakeside Drive, also wished to reiterate the issues, but resisted. Edwards said an issue not given adequate expression is that of alternative housing, such as the five subsidized residences in the 1300 block of First Avenue in Iowa City. Edwards said these homes were sold for $67,000. He felt this was very ~ffordable. t--=:~"'" "'.---"".: -=':;'r~:~-'= _=~.-~ 0','. J~, . ~O~J 'I" B ' ,/51' 8[} --" ~o39 \:t.

Edwards noted the regulations of lenders for a mortgage on a mobile home, i.e. a ten year consumer loan, rather than a mortgage; rapid depreciation; high down payments and high interest rates; and lack of equity building. Edwards noted that rental insurance is not only difficult to obtain, as was mentioned, but is nearly double that of a comparable structure, and there is an extra charge for replacement coverage. Edwards said these are hidden costs that reduce the affordability aspect. Suzanne Dashner. 1530 Buresh Avenue, said she has done research on manufactured housing companies. A company called Cavalier hqs shown a 20% per annum growth rate, so there is some interest in their product. Dashner said that Cavalier can provide a good home for $30,000 to $35,000, although there are some additional installation costs involved with the Cavalier product. Dashner said this is much less than even the $67,000 previously mentioned. Dashner felt these structures will also significantly contribute to the tax base, which will in turn assist with such things as supporting the school system. Dashner said she is not against affordable housing, but she is against not looking at all of the alternatives, especially those that can provide a tax base. Public discussion closed.

Dierks said she understands the affordable housing issues, but feels these are issues that need to be looked at in a more comprehensive approach with the County, and not just in the City. Dierks felt this may result in alternatives other than locating all of the RFBH zoning in this portion of the city. Dierks said she also understands there is flood money available. She thought it would be wonderful to assist individuals that were displaced by the flood. However, it is her understanding that there are not a significant number of individuals that still seek to move. Dierks said according to figures received recently from David Schoon, as of August, the City had 84.33 acres of vacant RFBH zoned area available, which represents 40% of the City's total RFBH zoning. Dierks said she would like to see these RFBH.zoned areas develop before any more is added. She noted in particular, Sycamore Farms. Dierks said she would still like to examine alternative types of housing, rather than mobile homes. Starr said he would support the rezoning for a number of reasons. Starr felt the CHAS report demonstrates the need for affordable housing in the community. Starr said RFBH zoning is only one alternative to the problem, but an excellent start towards solving the problem of affordable housing. Starr said this proposal represents the option for a lot of alternatives in affordable housing in the future, not just mobile homes. Starr said he was initially concerned about density issues, but is very comfortable with what has resulted. Bovbjerg said she supports the proposal, especially for its afford ability aspect. Bovbjerg said she is concerned about schools, public transportation, access to City services, utilities, infrastructure, and the like, but feels this proposal adequately meets these needs. 80vbjerg feels the City has an obligation to provide housing for those who wish to live in the area, and this development will assist in this regard. Bovbjerg felt the list of conditions to the rezoning shows the commitment on the part of the City and the developer to make this a good proposal. Jakobsen said she supports this proposal. Jakobsen said one of the crucial issues is the demonstrated need for affordable, subsidized housing. There are 116 subsidized lots in this proposal. Jakobsen commended the neighborhood residents on their presentation and determination. She had learned much about the area as a result. . - _:, .,.-"- ' )",",'" O '.'

Planning & Zoning Commission December 1, 1994 Page 8 Scott said he tried to summarize the major concerns on Monday night concerning the density requirement, concentration of the type of housing, the need for providing affordable housing, safety, workable street configurations, the installation of needed infrastructure, and the need presented by Sycamore Farms and reiterated by John Cruise on the part of the school district for east-west access through the property and to a school site to the east. Scott noted there were many other issues brought up in the discussions, but only a few he would like to restate. In regard to the implication that property values will decrease, Scott said based on experience, many of the homes in Village Green, right across the street from the Modern Manor Mobile Home Court, cost in excess of $200,000 when built. He did not feel an argument could be made that Modern Manor has proved to be a detriment to the housing values immediately to the west. In regard to management, Scott felt it is a valid question to worry about appearances and safety, yet he felt the City had selected experienced managers for an RFBH zoned park. In regard to the concentration of manufactured housing, Scott said the Comprehensive Plan must remain flexible enough to meet other stated goals, and one of the stated goals of the City is to provide affordable housing. Scott said he sides with the other Commissioners in saying that this is an opportunity to meet those needs. He also recognized this was not going to be the only opportunity the City has to meet those needs. Regarding the homes on First Avenue, Scott said it was his understanding that these homes had received considerable subsidy, as the City owned the land and installed the utilities and infrastructure. Scott said this was the only way these homes sold for $67,000. Without the subsidy, the base price for these homes would have been approximately $92,000. ,~ " The motion carried on a vote of 5-' , with Dierks votinQ no. , .-~ C-'\ \ \ ~ , , . ZONING ITEMS: 1.

Planning & Zoning Commission December 1, 1994 Page 9 Dierks said it is her understanding that the only change of the proposed rezoning is that trailer type of housing will be allowed, versus what will be allowed under the RS-8 zone. Miklo said the only change between this proposal and that of an RS-8 zoning, is that the RFBH zoning allows the use of single-wide mobile or manufactured homes, whereas the building width requirements of the RS-8 zone do not allow less than double-wide units. Public discussion: Scott said the same ground rules for discussion that were applied during the public discussion of the Green View proposal would apply to this item as well. . Jane Moore. 4322 Daniel Place SE, said she has heard over and over that no one would want RF8H in their back yard. This includes staff as well as other people. She said if it is going to be fought every step of the way, why is it all [RFBH] being put in their back yard. Moore said they don't need it alii Marv Lewis. 56 ReQal Lane, said she did not wish to repeat herself. She had only learned of the Lake Calvin project last Thursday. She thought the RFBH rezoning referred to the Green View site alone. Lewis said many area residents felt the same, . as they were not aware there were two proposals. Lewis emphasized the concentration factor was the neighborhood's main concern. Jim Miller. 505 East Burlinoton Street, said this proposal will provide homes for $50,000 or less. If the Commission turns down the proposal, they will have homes for $70,000 or less. The Commission decision is approximately a $20,000 decision to potential homeowners. Carol Ann Marlow. 50 Amber Lane, said her previous comments apply here, and added that it is the concept of mixing mobile homes with traditional housing that disturbs her with this proposal. Jane Moore said it also bothers her that she has been asked repeatedly, if this were stick-built housing, would you be complaining? Moore said the answer is no. She said most everyone in Iowa City would answer the same - no matter the part of town in which it is placed. Moore said this is so, because stick-built housing is by far the standard type of housing in Iowa City. There are only about 1,000 mobile homes. Everyone has complained, however, that they do not wish to have mobile homes in their back yards, so why persist? Again, Moore insisted that some of the RFBH zoning be placed elsewhere. Public discussion closed.

Starr said he supports this rezoning for a lot of the same reasons he supported the Green View proposal. Starr said the rezoning conditions number two and three really made things agreeable. Starr said if this was merely a mobile home park, he would not have been able to support it. Starr found the aspect of providing alternative types of housing side by side to be attractive. Starr added that manufactured housing today is subject to many of the same housing codes as stick-built housing. Bovbjerg said she will not support this proposal. Bovbjerg said when the Sycamore Farms proposal initially came in, she felt the proposal was well geared toward the neighborhood and the market reality to provide affordable housing with stick-built structures in an RS.8 zone. Bovbjerg felt this reality still exists and would like to see the initial zoning, which was approved less than six months ago, continue. Bovbjerg said should th'e market prove her wrong and change in a few years, she will be open to reexamining the site. She felt the initial proposal was more compatible with the area. Gibson wished to echo Bovbjerg's comments. He said his disagreement rests on the concentration of certain types of housing in the area. Gibson said his disagreement also resides in the lack of continuity in the proposals for the entire Sycamore Farms area. There appears to be one change after another by the applicant. Decisions appear to be made in isolation. Jakobsen said she was going to vote no, as she does not believe in rezoning the same tract within a year, especially as it took nearly two years to arrive at the first decision. Jakobsen said things have not changed that much to call for change now. Dierks said she would like to see the already zoned RFBH acreage within Sycamore Farms develop before any more is added. Scott said the same list of factors that applied to the Green View proposal apply to the Lake Calvin proposal. In regard to comments made tonight, Scott said he did not feel anyone should have to attend these meetings four times a month to stay abreast of issues which affect their neighborhood. However, he did not know how the process could be improved. Scott said when the Sycamore Farms and Green View proposals pM"." . .:~ : ~~~..-. -- ,-~ 'o,..J;' ,.' ~ 1 ! , , f 1, ~ I () I " 303~ r " .e. " ,-j ,0 '" .,.10, ., ;'IN:.~~''.

The RFBH portion has always been an issue, though it did not always involve the same amount of acreage. Scott recalled when Sycamore Farms brought in representatives of the lending sector, who encouraged RFBH property to be part of the proposal. Scott said he does not know how the public could have been brought in earlier, but it is certainly a frustration not to feel involved in something that affects an individual. Scott said he would not support the proposal, due to concentration factors, and the fact that the applicant has 82 acres of undeveloped RFBH-zoned land. Scott said this provided plenty of room to do both the rental and the lot ownership concept. Scott said the Commission would be fully supportive of this viewpoint. ~ Scott wanted to point out that the Iowa Realty development on the west side of Sycamore Street is not a stick-built home development, but rather a manufactured housing development in that most of the components are constructed off-site in a factory and put together on-site. Scott also added that this last summer, he sat on a screened-in porch of a condominium, which overlooks Modern Manor. Scott said the cheapest condominium unit in this complex is $164,000, and the most expensive unit at the time was $194,000. Yet, there has been no trouble in selling these units. Scott said that with snow shoveling and lawn mowing, he is tempted to consider purchasing one of these units, irrespective of Modern Manor. Starr clarified that Modern Manor is a manufactured housing park located in the County, and is not a subdivision. .,( I (-", ~ mr~\ ii I~ I I I I ' I !

Public discussion of an amendment to Zoning Chapter Article N., Off-Street Parking Requirements, Section 14.6N-1 B1 requiring hard-surfaced parking areas. ~ Rockwell said the amendment before the Commission is intended to clarify the construction requirements for hard-surfaced parking areas. Public discussion: nI \& There was none. Public discussion closed. \ Scott asked if it would be agreeable to change the wording in the proposed amendment. Scott suggested substituting "asohaltic cement concrete. Portland cement concrete. or manufactured oavinQ materials," for the words "asphalt, concrete or brick." Scott felt these changes were necessary to define these terms in the correct vernacular. Rockwell acknowledged staff appreciated the specificity of Scott's proposed terminology. .' t r'''~ , :?-'!

Off-Street Parking Requirements, Section 14.6N.181 requiring hard-surfaced parking areas as follows: " B. Construction, Design and Location Requirements: 1 .

The City Building Officiall1'1ay permit materials other than asphaltic cement concrete, Portland cement concrete or manufactured paving materials, such as brick, but excluding crushed rock or chip seal surfaces, for parking areas and drives if the resultant paving provides a similar, durable, permanent hard surface. Jakobsen said she lives in an area accessed by a crushed rock lane. While she did not currently have a problem with this amendment, she might some day. Starr said that looking over the pending list for 1995, this change may prove to be a barrier to affordable housing. However, Starr said he would be more comfortable with looking at adjusting the ordinance then. He was not opposed just to cleaning it up right now. Scott said he intended to vote against the ordinance on the principle that single-stall drives should be specifically excluded from hard surface paving requirements. Scott felt a person would be hard-pressed to make an argument concerning dust generation caused by a single car parking stall. Staff asked that the words "such as brick" be added to the end of the changes recommended by Scott. This change was accepted as a friendly amendment to the motion by both Dierks and Gibson. The motion carried on a vote of 4-2, with Scott and Jakobsen votinQ no. 2. Public discussion of an amendment to Zoning Chapter Section 14-6E-6C1 to clarify the density requirement for dwelling units in the CB-2, Central Business Service zone, , \ \ Rockwell said the proposed amendment to the CB-2 zone is simply meant to state what was originally intended; that there would be a minimum lot area of 875 square feet per dwelling unit in the C8-2 zone.

IOWA CITY CIVIC CENTER MEMBERS PRESENT: Oarlson, Roffman, Hagedorn,Christine, Maas MEMBERS ABSENT: Werderitsch, Buss STAFF PRESENT: Boose OTHERS PRESENT: Lori Klockau RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: Recommend adoption, on a vote of 5-0, of amendments to the Iowa City Building and Plumb- ing Codes which would change the number of employees or occupants which would require the installation of separate gender restroom facilities from four to fifteen. CALL TO ORDER: Chairperson called the meeting to order at 4:40 p.m. DISCUSSION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE PLUMBING CODE: Boose said he had put some pages in the meeting pack from a proposed plumbing code under development by ICBO and BOCA.. He said it wasn't necessarily that Iowa City would adopt the new code, but he said it might be helpful for the Board to see the language in this document to apply to the possible amendment. Klockau pointed out that they probably needed section 420,2 about urinals to understand the document. Boose said he was just hoping the Board could look at the language in the docu- ment, not at the specifics. Hagedorn said she wasn't sure if she should be a part of this discussion because her business was doing the plumbing for the project in question. Boose said that the Board was not talking about this project in specific, but about a general change in the code, Klockau said that she wanted to point out that the ADA represented an onerous burden to small business, and that the workings between city codes and the ADA increased the costs. She said an example of this is that the ADA does not require separate accessible facilities, but city codes require separate facilities, so the business is required to put in two separate accessible facilities. Roffman entered the meeting at 5:00 p,m. Christine asked why urinals are required currently. Boose said urinals are used for water conservation and sanitation, Hagedorn said her experience has found there is nothing sanitary about urinals. Boose pointed out that a urinal doesn't require very much room to put in, Hagedorn said the portion of the new code just said 1 toilet and 1 lavatory for a business with less that 15 employees. Boose said using this requirement would mean creating a conflict with the existing building code. ::Jotto " ....1 .... -~ '.

'. , ...,_u''''''~''''..',.,'_"''".-.-",, Board of Appeals September 12, 1994 Page 2 Hagedorn stated that the objection she had discussed with Carlson before the last meeting was that she finds unisex bathrooms not appropriate for bars or restaurants because the facilities are used more and they are less sanitary, She said one reason is that people are in and out of these restrooms more and they don't necessarily care about the condition they leave it in. Boose said the impression he got from the Iowa Association of Building Officials conference was that other cities are still enforcing the uniform building code even with the ADA require- ments. He said at the time the existing fixtures chart was created there was a good deal of discussion about gender and gender equity, Hagedorn asked what the occupancy of where the old "Kitchen" used to be? Boose said roughly one hundred. Hagedorn said how realistic is an occupancy load of 15 people. Carlson said it isn't-an occupancy load of 15 suggest a 10'x20' room. Boose noted there was section in the alternative code about tlie occupancy for customers as well, Hagedorn said the existing fixtures chart looks as though it requires a lot more than the chart from the altemative code. She said she didn't like the idea of pulling the section from the alternative code and putting it in the code with the existing fixture chart. Boose said when he was creating the existing fixtures chart he went to Hancher to count all of the facilities. He said that Hancher actually has a fairly high number of facilities, but the demand for them is very high during specific times like intermission. He said things like this make it seem like you can never have enough room. He noted there was research that went into creating the existing fixtures chart, although some of the numbers are fairly arbitrary. Hagedorn said she personally liked the Section 404.2 with the exceptions. Boose said he would have make an amendment to the plumbing code, adding these exceptions as footnotes. He said the second footnote would also have to go into the building code. He said exception #3 could go as a footnote to the chart, which would make it very restrictive. He said he doubted Haug's project would even fall under this exception. Carlson said under the existing chart even a unisex bathroom would be required to have 2 toilets which doesn't make any sense, Boose said he would not interpret it that way and that this change could help small businesses meet accessibility requirements. Boose said he feels pretty strongly that the requirement for separate gender restrooms should be fairly restrictive. He said he doubted many businesses would qualify under the proposal. Christine asked why they would make this change then if nobody is going to benefit from it. Hagedorn said it would be a benefit to non-eating/drinking establishments, Carlson said it would also be helpful for take-out type restaurants, Boose agreed saying that the area in a take-out place is used for waiting and not sitting and eating. Carlson said he also believes there is a distinction between places that do and do not serve alcohol. Boose said this distinction is already made, in the existing plumbing fixture chart because people are more likely to spend more time in places that serve alcohol. He said an example is that you would spend more time sitting in the Brown Bottle than you would in McDonalds. Hagedorn said if they pull out the section of the exceptions they would still require 1 toilet, 1 lavatory, and 1 urinal.

Board of Appeals September 12, 1994 Page 3 Roffman said this is doesn't really do anything to help out Nila Haug, which is why the matter was deferred in the first place. Boose said she can make the appeal on the basis of the new amendment. Hagedorn made the motion to amend the Uniform Plumbing Code to include section 404.2 of the Joint Model Plumbing Code with its exception 2 & 3, amending the chart with a footnote explaining urinals are optional in unisex bathrooms, and amending the Building Code to be consistent with the above changes. Carlson seconded. The motion carried unanimously. OTHER BUSINESS: Hagedom asked what events led to the forceful tone of the memo sent by the City Attorney's Office. Boose responded that the memo had been the result from some confusion about an issue that had come up at a previous meeting. Mass asked if there was any way to have the agenda set and posted for about a week before the meeting. He said his concem was for people who go out of town for the weekend and don't get a chance to look over the agenda. Boose said he usually leaves the agenda fairly open until 24 hours before in order to catch last-minute items. Carlson said he knew Boose needed to have a cut-off time in order to set the agenda, and he suggested the Wednesday before would be a good day to post the agenda. Roffman said the closing time for appeals could be the Friday before and then Boose could have a few days to pull together information for the appeal to have the packets out. Boose brought up the 'possibility for an appeals fee for the Building Board of Appeals. He noted that Board of Adjustment charges a fee and this is a way to avoid frivolous appeals, ADJOURNMENT: The meeting was adjourned at 5:45 p.m. Minutes submitted by L.

LIST OF MATTERS PENDING COMMISSION/COUNCIL DISPOSITION Cable TV refranchising/renewal process. SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION ~ The library has adopted a new copyright policy which will necessitate that proper clearances be obtained for use of copyrighted materials used for Channel 10. PA TV elected five new board members: Larry Quigley, Derrick Honore, Greg Easley, Vicky Grube, Derrick Maurer. A live call-in program, It's News to Us, debuted with guest Steve Atkins and proceeded without any problems. TCI will donate $3,700 to the schools as a result of a promotion run in August and September. A similar promotion benefitting the Works in Progress program at Hancher Auditorium is planned. The Disney Channel will move into the expanded basic tier on channel 31 and VH-1/Comedy Channel will move to channel 6. Stevens noted that Government Channel 4 produces a fair amount of community programming and requested a community programming proposal be developed by the City Cable TV office and submitted to the BTC. Four refranchising negotiating sessions are scheduled for December 6, 7, 13 and 14. TCl's counterproposal is due November 29. It was moved by Stevens, seconded by Jeppsen, and unanimously approved that Shaffer write a memo to the City Council making no recommendation by the BTC regarding the rate increase and to be sent with the Rice, Williams rate regulation analysis. CALL TO ORDER The meeting was called to order at 5:35 p.m. APPROVAL OF THE BTC MINUTES It was'moved by Jeppsen and seconded by Christian to approve the October 24, 1994, minutes.

LEGAL REPORT Burnside had no new information to report. L1BHARY REPORT Fisher reported the Library Board adopted a new copyright policy which will have a large impact on children's programming on channel 10. Previously, the Storvtime programs had, cablecast the reading of an entire book, which is a violation of copyright law. In the future releases will be secured. The section of the new policy dealing with channel 10 will take effect January 1, 1996. The library has been contacting publishers to secure releases. Of 200 requests, 45 releases have been secured, 3 request payment, 18 have time restrictions, and 10 have multiple restrictions. Funds have been set aside to purchase copyright release and public service announcements. PATV REPORT Paine reported the PA TV annual meeting of November 17 was well attended. Five new board members - Larry Quigley, Derrick Honore, Greg Easley, Vicky Grube, and Dereck Maurer - were elected. A live call-in program, It's News to Us, debuted without a hitch on November 13 with guest Steve Atkins and may be expanded. ECC REPORT No report. TCI REPORT , , Blough thanked Government Channel 4 for providing channel space and time for the state high school football championships. Stevens thanked TCI for bringing the games to Iowa City. Blough reported TCI will donate $3,700 to the schools for training teachers or for providing equipment as a result of the promotion run in August and September in which $5 was donated for each new subscription. A future promotion will donate $5 for each new subscrip- tion to Hancher Auditorium for their Works in Progress program. CABLE TV ADMINISTRATOR REPORT \ , Shaffer reported he has been attending the school's Technology Task Force meetings which are developing a plan for technology, which includes Project School net, computer, data, video, and multi-media. Eight complaints were received: two about outages, two about rate increases, two about concerns that moving the Disney Channel to expanded basic will result in additional charges, one about a cable needing burying, and one about the multiple outlets in a fraternity house, Blough said the Fox channel KOCR has been sold. It will continue to be a Fox affiliate, If KOCR is reactivated with the same transmission equipment Blough will not cable cast the channel. The Disney Channel will be moved to the expanded basic tier on Channel 31 effective December 5. VH-1/Comedy Channel will move to Channel 6.

Broadband Telecommunications Commission November 28, 1994 Page 3 channel line-up cards will be provided in the December billings. Stevens noted the high school football championship games contained commercials and asked about rules regarding commer- cials on Government Channel 4. Shaffer said there are no national guidelines and the channel guidelines do not explicitly prohibit commercials. Burnside said she has looked at this issue previously and determined that there is no hard and fast national prohibition on commercials. Government channels are not to be commercial channels, however. Stevens suggested the government channel's guidelines be updated to clarify such situations. PAT V CONTRACT RENEWAL/COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING Shaffer said PATV's community programming proposal and contract renewal are dependent upon the outcome of refranchising. Stevens noted that the government information channel provides a fair amount of community programming and asked if a community programming proposal from the City Cable TV office might be developed and submitted to the BTC. Shaffer said about 25% of Channel 4 is programming that could be considered community program- ming and a proposal will be developed for the BTC. REFRANCHISING Shaffer reported two negotiating sessions were held since the last meeting. The City wishes to move things along and resolve some issues, so four more sessions are scheduled for December 6, 7, 13 and 14. TCI' s counterproposal is due tomorrow, November 29, but a computer malfunction may delay the proposal's completion, accor,ding to Blough. RATE REGULATION .r C ''''0'\ \1 \ ~ '~''(~ :r-\ , ii' Stevens noted that a formal expanded basic rate complaint has been filed with the FCC by an Iowa City subscriber. Shaffer said the FCC will analyze the merits of the complaint and will likely take a long time to respond and resolve any such complaints, given their reported backlog. Shaffer said the Commission has several possible options in regard to TCl's pro- posed rate increase. A memo to the City Council could be drafted informing them of Rice, Williams' analysis explaining that no action is necessary if they accept Rice, Williams' recom- mendation. A recommendation could also be made by the BTC which would then be in the minutes and read by the Council. Stevens moved to draft a memo to the Council with no recommendation from the BTC which is to be sent to Council with Rice, Williams report. It was seconded by Jeppsen and unanimously approved. 810ugh said rate increases will be a regular occurrence, possibly every three months, due to changes in programming costs.

Ockenfels said he thinks the gate north of the Terminal Building, that leads directly to the ramp, has been, and continues to be, a safety issue. Ockenfels said the best place to install the gate is on the north side of the entrance drive, just west of the last set of T-hangars. This ~Iould eliminate the majority of 'automobile traffic on the ramp. Ambulances and those needing to drive to their aircraft on the ramp would still be given access.

CITY ATTORNEY'S CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: John Ockenfels, Howard Horan, Pat Foster, Richard Blum, Robert Hicks STAFF PRESENT: CALL 'TO ORDER: Ron O'Neil, Anne Burnside, Chuck Schmadeke Chairperson Ockenfels called the meeting to order at 5:42 p.m. A quorum of the Commission was present.

The scope of services' and contract are at the FM for review and at the city Attorney's office. When comments are received from those two offices, a final contract will be approved. Blum said he discussed funding the study with the FM. The FM indicated they will fund the project, but funding will not be available until January. The preapplication was originally filed for $ 65,000. O'Neil has amended the preapplication to be $ 100,000 because of the additional things the Council and Commission recommended to include in the study. c. Wade property proposal - Shamadeke said the city is interested in selling the property for several reasons. The. property could be annexed into the city and some sewer problems I' could be corrected. r Blum said he thinks the Commission should recommend leasing the property instead of selling the property. until the Master Plan is completed, it will not be decided if that property will be needed to protect the approach to Runway 06. There is litigation pending against the city by Ron Wade for property he owns next to the property he would like to purchase. It would not make sense to sell him additional property that has the same restrictions his Q current property has until the law suit is settled. Horan and Hicks will work with Schmadeke to develop a lease for Wade. It is important that the property be leased at fair market value and protected for aviation uses. Blum made a motion to schedule a public hearing for a lease with Wade for the December 13, 1994, Airport Commission meeting. Horan seconded the motion and it passed 5 - O. d. South hangar building - O'Neil said a public hearing will need to be set for the plans and specifications for a T-hangar building before the building is rebid. O'Neil asked the Commission what design they wanted to use for the building. Ockenfels and Horan will meet with O'Neil and develop the plans and specifications. Horan moved to set a public hearing for December 13, 1994, for plans and specs for the hangar building. Blum seconded the motion and it passed 5 - O. ,0 COMMISSION MEMBERS' REPORTS: : i \~, " Blum said that some of the discussion at the FAA conference in Kansas city centered on sponsor's agreement to enforce compliance standards. It will put more responsibility on the local sponsor to implement and enforce the standards. Blum asked Jones from ICFS if he charged for football parking. Jones said he charges $ 5.00 per plane. Blum said the state sponsor assurances d.o not allow charges for parking for a time period of less than eight hours. The state is interested in \;1 " "I i;~ ~o't~ .

Ockenfels said this was he thought the issue was Jones said he needs to charge for this service. He hires extra help for home football games. Foster said he could accept donations but can not make it a mandatory parking fee. Blum said the area where the planes are parked is not an area that ICFS leases. Jones said that if it is a situation that he is not allowed to charge, that was alright with him. Blum said the FAA is now emphasizing that airports should not seek short term solutions to problems. They are mainly interested in long term solutions. Because of personnel reductions, they do not have the time to address multiple, short term programs. There is one planner assigned to review and program all the AlP projects for Iowa's 114 public airports. This includes all the commercial service and general aviation airports. Blum said the planner for Iowa told him he would not have time to review an amendment to Iowa City's ALP incorporating the zoning change to Runway 06. It will have to be included in the new ALP in the Master Plan study. All FAA AlP projects will be based on bids instead of estimates. Projects that are ready to go will be given priority. CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT: ,r .~ (~', , \ \. .~ i I I I r I I , i , Ockenfels said Jones from Iowa City Flying Service was invited to the meeting to discuss several issues. One of the issues involved operating the UNICOM radio. The city Code requires the Fixed Base operator (FBO) to monitor and operate the UNICOM radio during all hours of operation. There have been increasingly frequent complaints from pilots that the radio is not being answered when they call in for an airport advisory. Jones said he sometimes turns the radio down when he is on the phone and forgets to turn it back up. He said he can not justify having someone at the radio at all times. Hicks said if the Code says the FBO is required to answer the UNICOM, then the Commission should enforce the Code. Jones said he will try to follow the rules. Hicks said it is a case of following the rules. Just trying doesn't count. O'Neil said he sent 'a copy of that part of the Code to IeFS last summer. He will sent a copy of the entire city Code that pertains to the Airport. , I , (.~, I j"'" ! ! .1 ~ \ ,I "~.:/' " ! " Ockenfels said the Council responded positively to the request for funding the projects to rehab the Terminal Building and reroof the Terminal and united Building. The cost for the projects will be approximately $ 70,000. '~" (;"~,.f, h. I" ~.. , I I'J.tl ,1'~ l..- 'C.O_._~ ":' - -'" .- o.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT: O'Neil said the roof project is scheduled to begin March 1, 1995, and should be completed in 30 days. He will try to coordinate the rehab of the exterior of the Airport Terminal for the same time. O'Neil met with several city staff members to discuss ADA requirements for the Airport. The Commission has included funding in the FY96 budget for these projects. / There are two leases due January 1, 1995. One is Gordon Aircraft and the other is Iowa City Landscaping. Blum and Ockenfels will work on these two leases. Ockenfels said ICL is currently using more property than is described in the lease.

CIVIC CENTER - LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Clara Swan, Gilda Six, 8ill Nowysz, Larry Quigley, Gary Nagle, Ruth Fox, Nancy Footner MEMBERS ABSENT: Laura Hawks, Karyl Larson STAFF PRESENT: David Schoon RECOMMENDATION Recommended, by a vote of 7.0, that the City Council approve the application for exterior signage at 150 E. Court Street to replace the face of the existing exterior signs for Homeland Savings Bank (flk/a MidAmerica Savings Bank). CALL TO ORDER Chairperson Swan called the meeting to order at 5:00 p.m. DISCUSSION OF AN APPLICATION FOR EXTERIOR SIGNAGE AT 150 E. COURT STREET Swan opened the meeting by requesting discussion on the consideration of the Application for Exterior Signage for Homeland Bank (flk/a MidAmerica). Very few changes have been made. A packet was given to each Committee member with drawings of the proposed signs. Schoon reported that the face of the signs on both the north and south sides of the building would be replaced. A color photo was passed among committee members. Nagle requested that it be noted that he has no interest in Nagle Signs. Discussion followed. Nagle questioned if the entire sign was being replaced or just a portion of it. Schoon said the proposal was to replace the face only. In response to a question of Swan, Schoon said the project should be judged on the criteria contained in Section 14-4E.5E, the sign guidelines of the Design Review Ordinance. Nagle asked about the look of brushed aluminum versus the existing plastic. Nowysz said the aluminum is painted. Schoon indicated it would have a white background with green letters. General discussion concluded that the new sign will be an improvement over the old. Six moved that the Committee recommend that the City Council approve the application for exterior signage at 150 E. Court Street to replace the face of the existing exterior signs for Homeland Savings Bank (f/k/a/ MidAmerica Savings Bank). Quigley seconded.
