We urge the federal government and state governments to enact policies and programs to meet or beat the target of reducing global warming pollution levels to 7 percent below 1990 levels by2012, including efforts to: reduce the United States' dependence on fossil fuels and accelerate the development of clean, economical energy resources and fuel-efficient technologies such as conservation, methane recovery for energy generation, waste to energy, wind and solaz energy, fuel cells, efficient motor vehicles, and biofuels; B. We urge the U.S. Congress to pass bipartisan greenhouse gas reduction legislation that includes 1) clear timetables and emissions limits and 2) a flexible, market-based system of tradable allowances among emitting industries; and C. We will strive to meet or exceed Kyoto Protocol targets for reducing global warming pollution by taking actions in our own operations and communities such as: 1 Inventory global warming emissions in City operations and in the community, set reduction tazgets and create an action plan. 2 Adopt and enforce land-use policies that reduce sprawl, preserve open space, and create compact, walkable urban communities; 3 Promote transportation options such as bicycle trails, commute trip reduction programs, incentives for caz pooling and public transit; 4 Increase the use of clean, alternative energy by, for example, investing in "green tags", advocating for the development of renewable energy resources, recovering landfill methane for energy production, and supporting the use of waste to energy technology; 5 Make energy efficiency a priority through building code improvements, retrofitting city facilities with energy efficient lighting and urging employees to conserve energy and save money; 5 Purchase only Energy Star equipment and appliances for City use; 7 Practice and promote sustainable building practices using the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED program or a similar system; B Increase the average fuel efficiency of municipal fleet vehicles; reduce the number of vehicles; launch an employee education program including anti-idling messages; convert diesel vehicles to bio-diesel; 9 Evaluate opportunities to increase pump efficiency in water and wastewater systems; recover wastewater treatment methane for energy production; 10 Increase recycling rates in City operations and in the community; 11 Maintain healthy urban forests; promote tree planting to increase shading and to absorb C02; and 12 Help educate the public, schools, other jurisdictions, professional associations, business and industry about reducing global warming pollution. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that The U.S. Conference of Mayors endorses the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement as amended by the 73rd annual U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting and urges mayors from around the nation to join this effort. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, The U.S. Conference of Mayors will work in conjunction with ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability and other appropriate organizations to track progress and implementation of the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement as amended by the 73`d annual U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting.

I shaze the concem expressed by the council about the need for a greater investment in our transportation infrastructure. It is uncleaz at this time whether there are the votes to pass an increase in the gas tax to address this issue. It is my belief that more discussion about the needs of the road system needs to take place. As more Iowans have a better understanding of the challenges, the more likely support will be there to raise the needed revenue to modernize our road system. Thanks again for the letter.. Please feel free to contact me on this or any other issue of concern to you. Sin r y y s, ~ 41 ~,// Joe olkc m Sta Vie- for _U - ~_a ~~ - ., a', ^.7 J t . 'i ;~ ~ ~ _.+ r._ ..

This proposal to more adequately fund public road programs is an initiative from the Iowa Department of Transportation Road Use Tax Fund Report which was released to the Iowa General Assembly in January. We concur with the need for additional funding to cities for street and highway projects, and would note that these funds would support not only motor vehicle travel, but travel by alternative modes such as public transit, walking, and bicycling. Our transportation-related expenses have grown significantly over the years, while road use tax revenues have remained fixed. Our ability to fund operations and projects has reached a critical juncture. Please accept Iowa City's endorsement of the TIME-21 proposal. We encourage your consideration of this important initiative. Please feel free to contact Iowa City Public Works Director Rick Fosse at 356-5141 or rick-fosse@iowa-city.org if you have any questions. Sincerely, Ross Wilburn Mayor cc: Rick Fosse, Public Works Director Bob Dvorsky Dave Jacoby Vicki Lensing Mary Mascher pwadMltrslRF-TIME-21.3.23.07.doc Date: April 19, 2007 C 1 TY O F 1 0 WA C 1 TY MEMORANDUM IP4 To: City Council From: Doug Boothroy and Steven J. Rackis Re: Reconsideration of the Housing and Community Development Commission's (HCDC) Recommendations for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership (HOME) funding. The Iowa City Housing Authority submitted an application for $390,000 of CDBG funding to expand the Iowa City Housing Authority's existing affordable homeownership programs. We are asking that City Council reconsider HCDC's recommendation and either partially or fully fund "Homes For Our Future" with CDBG funds. "Homes For Our Future', will target teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public employees who earn moderate incomes and could not otherwise afford the home prices in our community. This new program will compliment the already successful "Affordable "Dream Home Ownership Program" (ADHOP) offered by the Housing Authority. "Homes For Our Future' addresses a "Gap' in the Iowa City housing market. While creating affordable homeownership opportunities, the new acquisitions are also designed to revitalize and preserve existing neighborhoods within the City of Iowa City. To ensure long-term affordability and to continue to fill the affordable housing gap in our community, we proposed that all proceeds generated by the sale of these homes would be reinvested into additional affordable homeownership opportunities within Iowa City. Our rationale for creating "Homes For Our Future' stems from two sources: 1. Regarding the preservation of Houses and Neighborhoods, the 2006-2010 Consolidated Plan states: "As in most housing markets, the cost of new housing continues to increase due to inflation or other factors." "As such, the continued viability of the existing housing stock becomes increasingly important." "Continued improvement and maintenance of the current housing stock is vital." 2. One of the outcomes of the November, 2006 Housing Summit was that working families are unable to purchase homes in our community due to the average home price of $223,000. Further, starting teachers, firefighters, police officers, and other public servants fall within a moderate income level and generally will not qualify for existing affordable homeownership programs in which the buyer must fall at or below 80% of the area median income in order to be eligible. The CDBG funds we requested would enable the Iowa City Housing Authority to acquire three existing properties that have been for sale for extended periods of time, and that are in need of rehabilitation. The target areas would include those properties within the school boundaries of Mann, Lucas, Twain, Wood, Longfellow, and Roosevelt elementary schools. April 18, 2007 Page 2 The estimated per unit cost for acquisition, rehabilitation, and resale for one (1) single family home is $130,000. Assuming full funding, the Iowa City Housing Authority will acquire, rehab, and resell a total of three (3) homes. Absent full funding, the Iowa City Housing Authority will acquire, rehab, and resell the maximum number of homes the funding will support. Example: • $130,000 = 1 home. • $260,000 = 2 homes. • $390,000 = 3 homes. One of the homes will be sold through "Homes For Our Future",anew program, which will provide families working in public service careers, which have income up to 100% of the area median income, an opportunity for homeownership. This is a new target market and one that is not currently served through any other affordable homeownership programs in our community. The remaining two homes will be sold through the "Affordable Dream Home Ownership Program" (ADHOP). ADHOP is an existing homeownership program which assists local working families, with income up to 80% of the area median income. The Iowa City Housing Authority supports the belief that the future of our community will be strengthened and preserved when more affordable homeownership opportunities are made available for our valued working families. An equally important goal of this project is to revitalize existing neighborhoods. This benefit to the community should not be overlooked. While Iowa City has no truly blighted areas, there are neighborhoods where rehabilitation of existing homes is needed. One home in disrepair impacts other homeowners' ability to market their properties for sale and negatively impacts the value of other surrounding homes. This project would address this concern. One more vital goal of this project will be to ensure sustainability of homeownership for the buyers. This will be accomplished by requiring each approved buyer to complete the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) certified, award winning, Homebuyer Education course that is offered through the Iowa City Housing Authority, in partnership with the Iowa City Area Association of Realtors. The course curriculum includes information on budgeting, credit, financing, and inspections, and covers the home buying process from start to finish. In addition, hands-on home maintenance classes are offered. The classes are free to the buyers. In short, this project offers homeownership opportunities to low and moderate income working families, rehabilitates existing homes, provides education and guidance on how to sustain homeownership, and stabilizes neighborhoods by preserving existing homes as owner occupied. IP5 Local franchises fund channels and ensure coverage of all areas Significant and rapid changes in the telecom- munications industry are taking Place. In the merg- ing and blurring of tech- nologies and industries, telephone, cable, Internet, television and newspaper industries are increasingly integraU ed - becoming one industry. Iowa City is in the midst of that turmoil as the state I.eg'islature is poised to pass a bill allowing telephone com- panies to offer cable services. Qwest would compete with Mediacom by,offering servic- es; Mediacom already ~conpetea with.~i crest by offerlng telephone serv- ices. But will twaeumeis benefit, or will Qwest and Mediacom cut costs at the expense of service, product and higher rates? Cable 1Y fianchising authority remained a function of local govern- ment in Iowa until raw. SF 554, passed by the Iowa Senate, curreiruv in the House of Representatives, creates state fianchtves (state cer- tificates) pemritting video service providers (VSPs) to provide cable TV to communities throughout Iowa Drafted largefy on behalf of Qwest, the Iowa Telephone Association (1TA) and other potential VSPs, this legislation will erode and eventua0y elim- inate malty of the benefits Iowa citizens now obtain tiom existing local fran- chise agreements. Rates are not likely to fall if the newly acquired market power is allowed to trump the new competition. Already, atBct's CEO sur- mised: "I don't think there's going to be a price war." at&t (lower Saul Mekfes Guest Opinion case) is the new name of SBC, which acquired the old AT&T (upper case). The new at8ct is com- prised of four former Baby Bells (BellSouth being the latest) born out of the dissolution of Ma Bell in 1984. Qwest is also a combination of companies including the former Baby Bell, US West The introduction of cable/phone "competi- tion" may reduce some rates in some higherid segments, but may increase rates in the basic segments (for example, 66 percent basic rate increase in Cedar Rapids). High-end segments may benefit; smaller ones may not Following the di~olu- tion of Ma Bell, long dis lance isles decreased at the expense of local rates, equipment and service. Those who remember Ma Bell .remember, for example, that when dialing a wrong number, dialing zero right after was suffi- cient to get credit. Service today is press 1, 2, 3 ... and stand by for an operator claiming "your call isimportant a us." It's easier to give up and pay. The largely successful airline deregulation ben- efited consumers on long distance fares, while local ones increased or routes were dropped. A quick survey shows the following for around-trip airfare: Cedaz Rapids to Chicago, $220; Chicago to New York, $160; Chicago to Orlando, $164. Cable basic rates could be likened to Cedar Rapids to Chicago, and premium cable to Chicago to Orlando: Need we mention quality of service, however'? Proponents of the prospective Iowa cable/phone law argue that benefits lost aze compensated by effi- ciencies sterrmiing from competition: elimination of duect and indirect subsidies by sub- scribers, culling of cer- tain "superfluous" chatr- nels; reduced govern- ment involvement; increased inveatinent and innovation as a result of the natural course of the market's "creative destivetion." Ironically, phone companies are free to enter the market right now. Understandably, they want to do so on their own terms: avoid- ing certain geograpffic areas and offering no consumer protection, no rate regulation and no fees to fund local chan- nels. They want to pro- duce "a la carte," while demanding a "prix fixe" by bundling "superflu- ous" channels. The risks for Iowa City loom large: Certain areas m~{v not get acce~ to cable since competi- tors may pick and choose whom to serve; revenues may be lost; local ctuan- nels may get trimmed due to coat of transmis- sion and technology demands (analog vs. digi- tal); service and com- plaint resolutions, now locally dandled, also may suffer.

This area will provide a safe place for families to gather and watch aircraft using the airport. Terminal Apron rehabilitation continues to be planned with the closure of a property sale, which is currently in progress. FAA has ac- cepted the proposed use of funds in lieu of returning them to the FAA coffers. More than $2.3 Million in repairs and rehabilitation are due to be made in 2007. These funds have been obtained under the state and federal airport improvement programs with local matches coming from the city sources. IN MEMORY The Iowa City Airport family is saddened by our recent loss of a great person. Blane Anderson died February 2, 2007 in an air- craftaccident near Grinnell, Iowa. Blane was employed as a charter pilot with Jet Air, Inc and served as their chief pilot. He also served as a courier for the Organ Donor Net- work, ferrying surgical teams and transplant organs to transplant recipients. He was also a Certified Flight Instructor and gave flight instruction to many pilots from the Iowa City Area. FAA REAUTHORIZATION ®EBATE Early in February, the White House released its proposed FY 2008 Budget. The 2008 pro- posal calls for an overhaul of the entire FAA funding structure. Many aviation groups have decried this plan as a way to shift the oversight of the FAA and its funding out from congressional control, and as an effort to place the burden of fund- ingthe system onto Gen- eral Aviation. Highlights of the plan include the insti- tution of user fees for General Aviation aircraft flying in Class B Airspace, increasing the avgas fuel tax by nearly 50 cents per gallon, and charging fees for licensing of pilots. AOPA (Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association) has been a leading advocate of General Aviation users and vehemently opposes this new funding plan. More information on the FAA's reau- thorization plan, and its effects can be found on AOPA's website at http:~/www.aopa.org( faafundingdebate/ AIRPORT COMMISSIONER SPOTLIGHT Randall (Randy) Hartwig has served as Chairperson of the Iowa City Airport Commission for the past three years.

Specifically, the City qualifies for Federal entitlement funding made available through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Programs. Past performance has demonstrated that the City has administered both of these programs efficiently and effectively. The City's fiscal year for these programs is July 1st through June 30th, and funding may be utilized to implement a variety of housing and community development activities. These must either: (1) provide benefit to low and moderate-income persons; (2) reduce or eliminate slum and blight conditions; or (3) address an urgent need. Program goals are to: (1) "Provide Decent Housing; (2) "Provide a Suitable Living Environment; and (3) "Expand Economic Opportunities". To remain eligible for this funding, the City is required to prepare a HUD mandated Consolidated Plan, known locally as CITY STEPS. This comprises both an Annual Action Plan and aFive-Year Strategy. The Annual Action Plan primarily presents a budget for proposed activities to be implemented during the course of the program year and to address needs identified as part of the overall five-year strategy. This FY08 (Federal FY07) Annual Action plan is for the period July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008 and comprises the third annual increment of the Five-Year Strategy (July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2010). To budget activities to be implemented each program year, the City invites funding applications each December prior to the upcoming program year beginning July 1. All applicants are required to apply according to a prescribed format, including City departments, for-profit and non-profit entities. Specific efforts to broaden public participation include publicizing the availability of application forms in the City's local newspaper (the °Iowa City Press-Citizen', cable television's government channel as well as posting them on the City's web page. Applications are reviewed by the City's Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) and Community Development staff. HCDC is an ad-hoc, City Council appointed advisory commission with nine community representatives. By HUD categories (Public Service, Public Facility & Housing), HCDC recommends to the City Council which proposed activities should be funded and at what amount. The City Council may either accept, reject, or modify the Commission's recommendation(s) and approves a draft Action Plan that is made available for at least a 30-day public review and comment period. A public hearing follows the comment period. A comprehensive schedule of the consolidated planning process, including public review/comment, hearing, and Council action dates is directly conveyed to all applicants. This year's Action Plan was approved by the City Council on .2007, with the public review and comment period designated from March 30th through April 30th. A large display ad ran in the Iowa City Press-Citizen newspaper on Date to outline the Statement of Objectives as supported by Iowa City's Consolidated Plan, to summarize the proposed FY08 CDBG and HOME funded projects and to announce the public Hearing on May lst. The following public comments were received: From the entitlement grants, $800,261 was allocated to qualified activities under the HOME Investment Partnership Program and $859,778 was allocated to qualified activities under the 1 DRAFT Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program. These are individually identified and described within this plan, along with other areas of concern that address issue such as: geographical distribution of funds; outcome performance measurement; leverage and match; homelessness; anti-poverty strategy; continuum of care; fair housing; monitoring; and certifications. Below is a summary of stated objectives and outcomes relative to activities that were allocated funds: OBJECTIVES Generally, there are three objectives relative to program funding: - Creating (or Enhancing) Suitable Living Environments Applicable to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment. - Providing Decent Housing Applicable to housing programs where the purpose is to meet individual family or community needs, and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort (such as would otherwise be applied under the "Suitable Living Environment" Objective). - Creating Economic Development Opportunities Applicable to activities that are related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation. More specific activity related objectives stated in the Action Plan are: Housing -The City will make intensive use of the existing stock of housing through rental assistance, rehabilitation, and homebuyer strategies. The City will also assist with the production of new housing units and the acquisition of existing housing units to expand the permanent affordable housing stock. Public Facilities -The City will assist with the renovation, expansion and construction of facilities and community centers that are accessible to low-moderate income residents for a variety of uses. For example: senior centers, youth centers, neighborhood facilities, child care centers, recreational centers, health facilities and other public facilities. Public Services -The City will continue to support a variety of public services, ranging from meeting basic needs to achieving self-sufficiency. Priority needs include transportation, senior services, youth services, substance abuse treatment; health services, fair housing activities, child care services, and employment. Accessibility -The City will assist community efforts to explore, expand and enhance accessibility needs throughout Iowa City to create and maintain a barrier free environment. Economic Development -The City intends to help families move toward. self-sufficiency through economic development activities that include not only direct assistance to businesses, but also through education and job training opportunities to low-moderate income residents. Homeless - To serve the need for the provision of emergency shelter, transitional housing and Z DRAFT permanent housing for its homeless population.

Planning and Administration -Iowa City will provide administrative capacity for effective and efficient implementation of plans and programs including, as appropriate, supportive service and capacity-building assistance for non-profit entities. OUTCOMES Generally, three outcomes are relative to program funding objectives: Availability/Accessibility Applicable to activities that make services, infrastructure, housing or shelter available or accessible to low- and moderate-income people, including persons with disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the basics of daily living available and accessible to low- and moderate-income people. Affordability Applicable to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways in the lives of low- and moderate-income people, including: the creation or maintenance of affordable housing; basic infrastructure hook-ups; or services such as transportation or day care. Sustainability Applicable to (multiple) activities or services that are directed toward improving communities or neighborhoods (to make them livable or viable) by providing benefit to low- and moderate-income people or by removing or eliminating slum or blighted areas.

The purpose of the notice was to establish a framework for development of a performance measurement system for key Housing and Community Development Programs of HUD; such as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnership Programs, as addressed in this Consolidated Plan. On October 28, 2005, a memorandum from Nelson R. Bregon, (HUD General Deputy Assistant), provided an update on development of the performance measurement system. While the system still remained under development, the memorandum encouraged entitlement communities to begin establishing procedures for implementation as part of HUD's Integrated Disbursement and Information System (IDIS). In August 2006 HUD sponsored a Performance Measurement Training in Chicago, Illinois to provide further guidance on outcome performance measures. Based on guidance provided by the June 10, 2005 Notice and the Performance Measurement Training completed in 2006, the following performance measurement system is being incorporated into this Consolidated Plan. As suggested, recognizing final provisions from HUD are pending, intent at this time is to proceed to the extent practicable to establish guidelines for data collection to be compiled and (eventually) entered into IDIS. Most simply, performance measurement is an organized process for gathering information to determine how well programs and activities are meeting established needs and goals. HUD needs this information in a common format to summarize "program outcomes" at the national level. For each activity that a grantee funds, the grantee must determine the goal of the activity based on local intent, identify one objective and one outcome for each activity, indicate the objective and outcome in IDIS and report on applicable indicators in IDIS and the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. Each activity must have an outcome statement. This outcome statement in its most basic form is the activity's objective plus outcome. For example: Affordability for purpose of creating suitable living environments. In FY--, the HOME program assisted 15 households by providing downpayment assistance for the purpose of making homeownership affordable to these families. HUD's definition of these terms is defined below: Activities are objects produced or services undertaken with inputs (resources dedicated to, or consumed by, an activity that is designed to target a specific objective, such as money; staff; volunteers; facilities; equipment; supplies, etc.) to fulfill a targeted objective. Included are strategies, techniques, and types of treatment that comprise a production process or service methodology. An example of an activity may be to rehabilitate deteriorated homes. Outputs are the direct products or services of an activity. They are usually measured in terms of the volume of (quantifiable) work accomplished, such as number of people served, number of loan applications processed, number of units constructed or rehabilitated, linear feet of curbs and gutters installed, or numbers of jobs created /retained. Outputs are always quantitative; a count of what's been produced, who's been served, etc. 35 DRAFT Outcomes are the benefits that result from an activity. Outcomes re/ate to a change in conditions, status, attitudes, ski//s, know/edge, or behavior As a generalization, a typical common outcome is improved quality of life for program participants. Other, more specific examples of outcomes may be: improved quality of local housing stock; revitalization of a neighborhood; reduced crime; increased learning skills by youth; better ability for independent living by seniors; etc. Objectives quantify measurable stepping-stones targeted for attainment as progress is made through activity implementation toward solution of the problem or need (i.e., the goal). An example of an objective may be to make 'x"number of deteriorated homes safe, decent and sanitary every year. THREE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES ARE RELATIVE TO PROGRAM FUNDING: 1. Creating (or Enhancing) Suitable Living Environments. Applicable to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment. This objective relates to activities that are intended to address a wide range of issues faced by low and moderate income persons, from physical problems with their environment to social issues such as crime prevention, literacy, or elderly health services. 2. Providing Decent Housing. Applicable to housing programs where the purpose is to meet individual family or community needs, and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort (such as would otherwise be applied under the °Suitable Living Environment" Objective). 3. Creating Economic Development Opportunities. Applicable to activities that are related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation. THREE SPECIFIC OUTCOMES ARE RELATIVE TO STATED OB]ECTIVES: 1. Availability/Accessibility. Applicable to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing or shelter available or accessible to low- and moderate- income people, including persons with disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the affordable basics of daily living available and accessible to low- and moderate-income people. 2. Affordability. Applicable to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to low- and moderate-income people. It can include the creation or maintenance or affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or services such as transportation or day care.

CITY STEPS), Iowa City does not have areas of heavy concentrations of low-moderate income households or minorities (see p. 61- 67 of CITY STEPS). The map of low-moderate income areas, according to the 2000 U.S. Census, is included in this document. The map showing Areas of Low to Moderate Income Households shows that a large number of lower income persons do live in the downtown area, but the housing is mainly student rental units and does not contain a concentration of low income families. The one area identified as a Concentration of Minorities (see p. 65 of CITY STEPS) predominately represents persons residing in University owned or sponsored housing. Due to these factors, the City has not discussed or adopted a plan to allocate CDBG and HOME funds geographically. Also, a number of the projects funded by CDBG and HOME will serve persons living community-wide and not target specific populations (other than low income) or areas. For example, the City's Housing Rehabilitation Program serves residents on a citywide basis and distributes its resources via individual projects, which may be located anywhere within the jurisdiction. All of the public service projects are based in Iowa City and serve individuals and families, living citywide, according to their needs. The maps in this section of the FY08 Annual Action Plan shows the Areas of Low to Moderate Income Households and FY08 projects that have been approved for funding (as described in Section III). Several of the projects are not identified on this map because their services are citywide, a specific site has yet to be identified, or the location is suppressed. qg DRAFT Areas of Low to Moderafe Income Households Census tracts where b1 % or more ofthe households are below 80% of the median fatuity Jncome for Iowa City 49 DRAFT ..-. ~ ~~ ~4 ~~ n ~~ ~ ~~ ~ i ~ ~. ~ yl ~ ~ ~ . 1 ~J~ P ~ e~ r •~~' C y ~.. ._.. ~ --~. ~ ~- ., ~~. 9 ~ - II •~r~~~ ~ l ' r ~ ti d ita I ti~ A ~ yl ~ p ~ ~ ' ~+ ~ 3 i '-~' I g e J ~ • u~~~~ u ~~.~ •~u~ ~ _ ~ , _•' j {•-1 I $~ D~~ Method of Distribution CDBG Min Amount .Max Amount Com etitive 0 0 Formula 0 677 006 Retained for State Pro'ect 0 0 Non-Com etitive 0 0 State Admin of Pro ram 0 0 ESGP Min Amount Max Amount Com etitive 0 0 Formula 0 0 Retained for State Pro'ect 0 0 Non-Com etitive 0 0 State Admin of Pro ram 0 $95,000 HOME Min Amount Max Amount Com etitive 0 0 Formula 0 $634 261 Retained for State Pro'ect 0 0 Non-Com etitive 0 0 State Admin of Pro ram 0 0 HOPWA Min Amount Max Amount Com etitive 0 0 Formula 0 0 Retained for State Pro'ect 0 0 Non-Com etitive 0 0 State Admin of Pro ram 0 0 51 DRAFT SECTION VI FY08 ANNUAL ACTION PLAN NARRATIVE 52 DRAFT FY08 Annual Action Plan Narrative This section contains information related to the amount of public funding that is available for FY08 projects, including the amount of other funds that are being leveraged by these projects. Information on homeless and other special needs activities, specific program requirements, and the process for citizen participation and amendments to the Consolidated Plan are also included in this section. FISCAL YEAR 2008 RESOURCES (July 1, 2007 to Tune 30, 2008) The following is a description of the federal resources the City of Iowa City is anticipating to receive for use within the community. The City of Iowa City allocates the CDBG & HOME funds shown below to eligible projects serving low-moderate income persons. Federal Resources FY08 CDBG Entitlement $677,006 FY08 CDBG Estimated Program Income $115,000 Unexpended CDBG Funds (from contingency, projects and excess PI) $ 67,772 TOTAL CDBG $859,778 FY08 HOME Allocation ~ $634,261 FY08 HOME Estimated Program Income $100,000 Unexpended HOME Funds (unallocated FY07 funds) $ 66,000 TOTAL HOME $800,261 FY08 TOTAL $1,660,039 Federal Resources (State allocated & administered) FY08 Emergency Shelter Grants $ 95,000 Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) $ 175,768 Other Resources Leveraged Iowa City is fortunate to have active and vital organizations that provide housing and supportive services within the community. As such, multiple resources (federal, state, local and private) are available for activities including housing, jobs and human services. In addition to these monies, other resources like donations and volunteers are utilized. According to the applications, we have been able to estimate that $3,207,139 in other funds will be leveraged. This amounts to $1.93 leveraged for each dollar of local CDBG and HOME funds allocated by the City of Iowa City. In addition, other municipal resources such as general fund expenditures, infrastructure improvements and tax exemptions may be used to meet the City's HOME match liability. Actual leverage and HOME match figures will depend on the outcomes of the projects proposed in this annual action plan. Upon completion of the FY08 projects the exact amount of other resources leveraged by these projects will be known and included within the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report. 53 DRAFT Private banks and lending institutions often provide significant capital to both Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) projects. Both the City and local organizations recognize this mutually beneficial relationship. To promote the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan (a.k.a. CITY STEPS) both parties have taken steps to strengthen and expand our partnerships. As stated above, other resources include in-kind donations, volunteers, foundations and businesses. The following is a list of organizations or groups identified as contributing to FY08 CDBG and HOME projects: Private (donations) Private (loans) Private (foundations) Private (faith based) Public funds United Way Johnson County In-kind Donations (skilled labor, goods, materials, waived fees) Volunteers City of Iowa City University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics HOMELESS AND OTHER SPECIAL NEEDS ACTIVITIES In FY08 human service agencies, private organizations and the City of Iowa City will be addressing homeless and other special needs activities. Projects proposed within this plan (publicly funded) are specifically targeted towards this type of need. In addition to the projects herein there are numerous other human agencies and others providing assistance through hundreds of other activities. Emergency She/ter & Supportive Services for Home%ss or Near Home%ss Persons The City of Iowa City's Consolidated Plan identifies these needs as "high" priorities. The needs of this population are numerous; however to assist the human service organizations Iowa City is allocating the maximum amount of CDBG possible for public services. CDBG funds will be used by the Shelter House to fund an outreach coordinator to work with homeless persons. This project will assist Shelter House provide the match necessary for the HUD funded STAR Program. STAR provides approximately $448,000 in funds for supportive services for the homeless of Johnson County. Shelter House administers the program. The State recently announced the FY08 Emergency Shelter Grant Program awards. Iowa City was allocated $95,000 in individual awards to fund four local human service organizations that provide services to persons who are homeless or threatened with homelessness. The Domestic Violence Intervention Program, Shelter House, Hawkeye Area Community Action Program, Inc. and Table to Table will receive FY08 ESGP funds. The Iowa Center for AIDS Education and Resources (ICARE), an Iowa City non-profit agency that provides support and services to persons with AIDS/HIV, receives HOPWA funds. ICARE received a $175,768 award in 2004 (FY05) to be utilized over athree-year period from the State of Iowa. The City anticipates that ICARE will continue to receive funding through the State's annual allocation, if available. ICARE uses HOPWA funds for rental assistance for persons with AIDS. 54 DRAFT Home%ss Prevention In FY08, CDBG and HOME funded activities will directly address the prevention of homelessness. Many of the activities undertaken by human service organizations (CDBG funded and Aid to Agencies funded) are designed to prevent homelessness. Shelter House is receiving CDBG funds as match for the STAR (HUD continuum of care program). Public facilities funding is allocated to several service providers whose mission is to assist persons who are homeless or providing services to prevent homelessness. The Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) will be using CDBG funds to replace flooring, repair plumbing and to replace window screens at the domestic violence shelter. DVIP is estimating that it will assist 1029 persons in FY08. Supportive Services Supportive service projects funded through CDBG include Iowa City Free Medical Clinic, Local Foods Connection and the City's Aid to Agencies budget (Mid-Eastern Council on Chemical Abuse, Elder Services, Inc. and United Action for Youth). The Iowa City Free Medical Clinic will be using CDBG funds for a pharmacy technician to assist with obtaining free prescription medications. The clinic provides case management to over 300 patients with chronic medical conditions. The City of Iowa City allocates $105,000 in CDBG funds as a supplement to the Aid to Agencies budget that in FY08 is $456,151. The City's Aid to Agencies budget is divided up among 14 local human service agencies. The funds are used for operational expenses. For ease of administration, CDBG funds are provided to 3 of the 14 agencies. Iowa City is allocating the maximum amount of CDBG funds possible for public services. The City of Iowa City will contribute approximately $351,151 of the City's general funds to the Aid to Agencies budget. The City also contributes over 14,340 bus tickets annually to area agencies. These tickets enable individuals to access a variety of needs such as employment, medical care, social services, and daycare. In addition, the City makes 5,000 bus tickets available annually at a 50% reduction for social service agencies. Action Steps to End Chronic Homelessness The City is proposing to fund various homeless prevention, homeless facility improvement, and homeless service activities in Fiscal Year 2007 (City FY08), as identified on pages of the Annual Action Plan. To the extent possible, and as funding is available, the City is actively supporting the Johnson County Local Homeless Coordinating Board (LHCB) Continuum of Care's Strategic Plan. This includes the following five objectives and action steps specific to addressing chronic homelessness. Objectives to End Chronic Home%ssness and Move Fami/ies and Individua/s to Permanent Housing 1) Create new permanent housing beds for chronically homeless persons. Action Step: Develop 12-18 permanent housing beds designated for chronically homeless persons living in the Johnson County area 55 DRAFT 2) Increase percentage of homeless persons staying in permanent housing over 6 months to 71%. Action Step: Implement and codify process and procedures for measuring and evaluating lengths of stay in permanent housing for homeless persons exiting Continuum of Care Programs. 3) Increase percentage of homeless persons moving from transitional housing to permanent housing to 61%. Action Step: Maintain investment in transitional housing and supportive services necessary for developing requisite independent living skills. Verify that Continuum of Care Programs continue to meet and exceed the HUD standard. 4) Increase percentage of homeless persons becoming employed by 11%. Action Step: .Maintain investment in supportive services necessary for developing employability skills, engagement in mainstreams resources and for making permanent employment placements. Verify that the Continuum of Care Programs continue to meet and exceed the HUD standard. 5) Ensure that the Continuum of Care has a functional HMIS system. Action Step: Maintain current participation in the HMIS (Service Point) system. Continue to implement revisions to the system Non-Homeless Special Needs Populations This year there are several proposed projects that will target persons with special needs, both capital activities and operational. Goodwill Industries of Southeast Iowa will be renovating and expanding the production/training area, constructing a computer store and making exterior improvements to their facility that annually provides employment training to approximately 83 persons with disabilities. The Iowa City Free Medical Clinic will use CDBG funds to modify the entrance to comply with ADA specifications. They will also make accessibility improvements to a restroom. Extend the Dream Foundation will use CDBG funds to contract with a local accounting firm to assist with bookkeeping. Extend the Dream supports and provides services to nine micro-enterprise businesses that are owned by persons with disabilities, operates an e-commerce training center and they own and manage three affordable apartments available to persons with disabilities. The Visiting Nurse Association will use CDBG funds to assist with the cost of home health services to persons with mental health disorders. HOUSING In a continuance of the City's goal to provide a variety of affordable housing options, the City will fund seven affordable housing projects. Transitions/Housing Needs Iowa City has adopted a "continuum of care" approach to addressing housing needs. We support programs and projects that range from homeless shelters to homeownership. One very important component of this continuum is transitional housing with supportive services. We have successfully partnered with several local organizations to create additional transitional units for persons who live alone and for families. Hawkeye Area Community Action Program will acquire one transitional housing unit to be placed in their local transitional housing program for families. In addition, Builders 56 DRAFT of Hope will acquire asix-unit single-room occupancy property to provide transitional housing for individuals with mental health disabilities. Affordab/e Renta/ Housing The Housing Fellowship will purchase lots to construct at least seven two-bedroom homes available to rent to families earning between 31-50% of the area median income. This is part of a Low- Income Housing Tax Credit project. Affordab/e Owner-Occupied Housing To increase homeownership opportunities for low-income households, the Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity will use funds to purchase three lots. Habitat will construct homes on these lots with area resources, including the owner's sweat equity, to provide an affordable, interest free mortgage to low-income households. Blooming Garden IHA, LP will use HOME funds to provide downpayment assistance to two households under 80% of area median income. Owner-Occupied Housing Rehabi/itation The City of Iowa City will continue its owner-occupied Housing Rehabilitation Program, which provides comprehensive rehabilitation, exterior repair, emergency repair, residential accessibility and manufactured home repair services to low-moderate income households. By assisting these households, and fixing up the existing affordable housing stock, this project helps people remain in their homes. In addition to our regular housing rehabilitation program our staff will be coordinating minor accessibility and safety projects with non-profit community partners. New for FY08 is a project funded with CDBG and HOME funds to assist up to eight homeowners with the cost associated with lead-based paint in conjunction with the City's owner-occupied housing rehabilitation program. Economic Development Starting in FY03, the City of Iowa City set aside CDBG funds to capitalize an Economic Development Fund. To maximize the utilization of CDBG funds for economic development the City Council established the CDBG Economic Development Fund. These funds are available throughout the year, instead of a once a year funding cycle to allow greater flexibility and attract a greater number of applicants. Since the Economic Development Fund started in July 2002, it has been successful in attracting 13 eligible applicants. To date, the City Council has funded eight ED projects for $405,805. In FY08, CDBG funds were not allocated to economic development due to the policy that states that if more than $250,000 in CDBG funds are in the fund then additional funds will not be allocated. Other Actions Throughout the year, City staff is involved with numerous community development activities covering housing, jobs and services. By providing technical assistance to other organizations we are able to develop partnerships, access additional resources and expand the level of service for persons in need. The City of Iowa City continues to provide on-going support as part of a Supportive Housing Program grant awarded to the Shelter. House. Other actions planned during the year to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs. The City created a citizen advisory group, the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC), in 1995, to assess Iowa City's community development needs for housing,. jobs and services for low and moderate income residents, and to promote public and private efforts to meet such needs. HCDC leads the CDBG/HOME allocation process to determine what projects will be awarded funds based on priorities established in C1TY STEPS, Iowa City's Consolidated Plan for Housing, Jobs 57 DRAFT and Services for Low-Income Residents. Each year the City and HCDC reviews applications on a competitive basis. The fact that a program or agency was funded in a prior year does not ensure funding in subsequent years. The lack of adequate financial resources, in relation to need, is the greatest obstacle facing the community. Housing and non-housing needs and services simply exceed available resources. If additional funding were available, existing services could be expanded to meet the needs of the community. Due to limited funding and the prospect of reduced funding in subsequent years, the following considerations will be made when determining to fund a project: 1) The project must be an identified CITY STEPS priority. Applicant must document the ability of the project to address the specific need. 2) The project budget is justified and leverages other financial resources, including human resources. Applicant must document efforts to obtain outside funding as well. 3) The project has a measurable impact in the community. The project primarily targets low- income persons, utilizes community partnerships, and provides adequate benefits in relation to costs. 4) The applicant can maintain regulatory compliance. Applicant must demonstrate it has strong financial skills, administrative capacity to complete a federal grant, and the ability to complete the project within the required time period. Iowa City has a long history of successfully implementing HUD funded programs. Serving the needs of the city's various special needs population drives the city's consolidated planning efforts. Addressing the needs of the homeless and special needs populations are high priorities for use of resources within Iowa City. Fragmentation and duplication of services in Iowa City is a minor obstacle due to the communication and coordination of existing service providers. Service providers are members of the Johnson County Local Homeless Coordinating Board and participate in the local Continuum of Care planning. Performance monitoring will also continue throughout the year to evaluate program performance and outcome measures. This will enhance the City's capacity to hold each program accountable for effectiveness. Lessons learned will be applied to subsequent projects and/or initiatives. The City will also continue to identify and educate the public regarding lead hazards as identified on pages 126-127 of CITY STEPS. The Housing Rehabilitation Program works with homeowners to assess and mitigate lead based paint in Iowa City's older homes. The City contracts with the Linn County Public Health Department to provide clearance testing on all homes built before 1978 that test positive for lead and that are receiving City rehabilitation services. PROGRAM SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS A. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 1. Activities to be undertaken in FY08 with CDBG funds are described in Section III on the pages entitled: U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development CPD Consolidated Plan System -- Listing of Projects gg DRAFT 2. The available CDBG and HOME funds from all resources are listed in Section II of this document. 3. No CDBG activities are being undertaken, with the funds described herein, in FY08 that meet the "Urgent Need" National Objective. 4. (See #1 above) B. HOME Investment Partnership Program 1. HOME funds are being invested in the forms allowed under 24 CFR 92.205(b) 2. All of the HOME funds used for assistance to homebuyers will be recaptured (whenever possible) if the home is sold prior to the termination of the mandated affordability period. As required, a lien will be placed on the any units qualifying herein to legally insure repayment according to the HOME regulations. CITIZEN PARTICIPATION PROCESS Throughout the year the Housing and Community Development Commission (HCDC) holds public hearings to oversee the operation of the Community Development Division and the Iowa City Housing Authority, monitor CDBG and HOME projects, and listen to public input into these and other programs. The City of Iowa City's current 5-year Consolidated Plan (2006-2010 CITY STEPS) was adopted. in December 2004. Numerous public meetings and hearings were held to solicit public comment regarding the development of the CITY STEPS plan. In addition, HCDC and the City Council have held a number of meetings for the preparation of the FY08 Annual Action Plan and other HUD related documents.

The primary objective of the City of Iowa City's investment activities is the preservation of capital and the protection of investment principal. The City's investment portfolio remains sufficiently liquid to enable the City to meet operating requirements that cash management procedures anticipate. In investing public funds, the City's cash management portfolio is designed with the objective of regularly exceeding the average return on the six month U.S. Treasury Bill. The Treasury Bill is considered a benchmark for riskless investment transactions and therefore comprises a minimum standard for the portfolio's rate of return. The rolling average return on the six-month U.S. Treasury Bill for the prior 365 days was 4.96% at 3/31/07. The investment program seeks to achieve returns above this threshold, consistent with risk limitations and prudent investment principles. The rate of return on the City's entire portfolio for the quarter was 5.29%. Investments purchased by the City of Iowa City for the third quarter of this fiscal year had an average return of 5.55%, which is 59 basis points higher than the threshold. Rates on new investment purchases in our operating cash portfolio for the third quarter were approximately 70 basis points higher than investments purchased at this time last year. The federal funds rate is the interest rate at which banks lend to each other. The Federal Reserve maintained the target of the federal funds rate at 5.25% during the first quarter. The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates 400 basis points since June 2004 but has not raised the rate since June 2006. The quarterly investment report lists investments by fund, by institution, by maturity date, and investments purchased and redeemed. New official state interest rates setting the minimum that may be paid by Iowa depositories on public funds in the 180 to 364 day range during this quarter were 3.60% in January, 3.65% in February and 3.70% in March 2007.

Terry Robinson, Park and Recreation Sarah Walz, Planning Committee member Judith Klink, Planning Committee member Jodi DeMeulenaere, Public Information Assistant Re: Great Garlic Mustard Challenge - 2007 In an effort to reduce the threat and destruction of the Garlic Mustard plant to our City Parks, woodlands and open spaces, the City's Neighborhood Services, Parks and Recreation, and Public Works Departments are organizing a "Great Garlic Mustard Challenge" event on Saturday, May 19 from 9:00 to 12:00 PM to pull the weeds and help control the spread of these weeds. Additional sponsors include Friends of Hickory Hill Park, Johnson County Heritage Trust, Johnson County Conservation Board, Project Green, Environmental Advocates, and the Backyard Abundance Campaign. Garlic mustard is anon-native plant species that has no local natural controls, partially because none of Iowa's native insects or wildlife rely on it as a food source. The plant has spread at an alarming rate the past two decades, and is now degrading local woodlands by crowding out native plants such as wildflowers, ferns and tree seedlings, which in turn reduces the food supply for woodland animals. To control the spread, the weeds must be pulled or cut between March and June, before they go to seed and repopulate. Volunteers will be asked to meet at one of several participating park, woodland sites, or designated private properties throughout the City and Johnson County on May 19. in case of rain, the event will be held the following day, on May 20. Volunteer guides will be assigned to each site to provide assistance. Garbage bags will be provided. At noon, bags will be collected and transported to City Park for a group photo, after which a free lunch for volunteers will be served. The bags will then be transported to the Landfill and weighed. The planning committee plans to submit the details and photo to Guinness World Records for "Most Garlic Mustard Plants Ever Pulled." Organizers hope to turn the Great Garlic Mustard Challenge into an annual event to educate the public about the threat that the garlic mustard plant poses to our parks and natural areas, as well as their own yards and gardens. The following Iowa City and Johnson County parks and woods will be sites for the 2007 Great Garlic Mustard Challenge: Hickory Hill Park -Bloomington Street entrance Wiflow Creek -corner of Teg Drive and Benton Street Ryerson's Woods -off Riverside Drive, between the Johnson County Fairgrounds and the Hwy. 218 interchange Kent Park Conservation Education Center -west of Tiffin on Hwy. 6 Belgum Grove: northwest of Hills Turkey Creek Nature Preserve: north of Iowa City on Sugar Bottom Road Hora Woods: northeast of Iowa City, near Oasis April 19, 2007 Page 2 Additional sites may be added to the list prior to the event. Private property owners may also register their properties as sites, if they are willing to have all volunteers who work on their property sign waivers. To volunteer as a guide or volunteer for the event, or to register private property as a Great Garlic Mustard Challenge site, residents will be requested to visit www.icoov.org/aarlicmustard or contact Marcia Klingaman at the City's Neighborhood Services office. The website will also offer additional information on garlic mustard, a printable brochure about the event, updated information on the list of participating parks, and driving directions to each site. Free brochures about the Great Garlic Mustard Challenge will be distributed at various local nurseries, garden centers, gardening supply stores, the Project Green Plant Sale, and at government offices, including the Public Library and County Extension Office. Publicity for the event includes distribution of brochures and posters, press releases in local media, a booth at the City's Earth Day event this weekend, a booth at the upcoming Project Green Plant Sale, and the City website.

EMMA J. HARVAT HALL -CITY HALL Preliminary IP14 CALL TO ORDER: Freerks called the meeting to order at 7:31 p.m. MEMBERS PRESENT: Charlie Eastham, Ann Freerks, Terry Smith, Wally Plahutnik, Beth Koppes, Dean Shannon MEMBERS ABSENT: Bob Brooks STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo; Sarah Holecek OTHERS PRESENT: Cindy Parker, Marsha Grady, Dan Broffitt, Kim McDonald, Chris Stephan, Mark McCallum (811 E. College) RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL (become effective only after separate Council action): Recommended approval, by a vote of 6-0 (Brooks absent), of REZ07-00003: an application submitted by Alpha Chi Omega Sorority for a rezoning from Neighborhood Stabilization Residential (RNS-20) zone to Planned Development Overlay /Neighborhood Stabilization Residential (OPD/RNS-20) zone and a Sensitive Areas Development Plan to the allow grading of regulated slopes on approximately .77 acres of property located at 828 E. Washington Street. Public Discussion of Anv Item not on the Agenda No discussion. Rezoning Item This property is located at the corner of Washington and Governor Streets. The current zoning (RNS 20) allows for fraternity and sorority houses. This particular project is within the requirements for density and setbacks. The property has some steep slopes that are regulated by the Sensitive Areas Ordinance. There are three levels of slopes: steep slopes (18-25%), critical slopes (grading 25-39%), and protected slopes (grading 40% or greater). If more than 35% of the critical slopes on the property are to be graded, the ordinance requires the development plan to be approved by Planning 8 Zoning and the City Council. That is the proposal in this case. The ordinance also requires that if protected slopes that were previously altered are going to be further graded, this must also be approved. The reason for that is that such steep slopes are usually found in environmentally sensitive areas, such as wooded ravines or larger wildlife habitats. In this particular case, this is more of an urbanized area and these slopes don't serve as part of a natural ravine system. However, for slopes this steep, the grading must be done very carefully to avoid erosion that might affect the property and neighboring property. An engineer or geologist must submit a plan for such grading. This has been done and reviewed by the City Engineer who found that the proposed grading is acceptable and is likely to be more stable than the current slopes. The plan calls for the construction of a 2 '/z story house, near the east and south portions of the property, which will appear to be 4 story from the back due to the grading. There will also be a two-level parking garage. The lower level will be entered off Washington and have 18 spaces; the upper level will be entered off Governor and have 17 spaces. A similar example is the deck at the corner of Market and Dodge which serves Mercy Hospital. Most of the garage will be concealed by the house itself. The view from Governor will be similar to a surface parking lot and the view from Washington will be a two-level Planning and Zoning Commission April 5, 2007 Page 2 deck garage. The garage will be faced with a stone veneer, similar to that of the house. The design will be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission. The plan is in order and staff recommends approval. The current plan shows a shared driveway with 17 S. Governor, the adjacent property. Staff would approve, subject to DOT approval, an alternative location for the driveway so there would be two driveways as opposed to a shared driveway. Although we usually like to minimize the number of driveways on arterial streets, in this case two drives may be preferable given the grade in this area. Freerks asked about storm water drainage. Miklo stated that a low point on the site provides for drainage to this point and the water would be piped underground to an existing intake in the alleyway that runs through the center of the western portion of the block. City engineers have reviewed this and it meets their specifications. Eastham asked if the storm water eventually drained to Ralston Creek. Miklo confirmed that this is correct. Smith asked if this zoning item had any affect on the density of the house. Miklo responded that it did not since the current use is well within the zoning requirements. They actually have zoning for more density but likely would not be able to house the requisite number of parking spaces for a higher number of residents. Smith confirmed that the primary reason for this application is the grading concerns for the slopes. Freerks asked about the Historic Preservation Committee review. Miklo stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission has jurisdiction over the layout and its job is to approve the grading and the site plan. The Historic Preservation Committee approves the exterior design, setbacks, and placement of the building on the property. Their meeting is set for next Thursday, April 12. If this plan was not approved by the HPC, a revised plan would come back before this Commission. Staff is preparing a report for the HPC which will be mailed tomorrow. If anything, the HPC would deny in favor of a smaller footprint. Only if the footprint was made larger would the plan have to come back before the Planning and Zoning Commission. Freerks asked if the S-2 screening had been met on the north and east. Miklo responded that it had and showed the areas where screening was provided. Freerks also confirmed that there were evergreens to screen the lights of the parking garage from Governor Street. Koppes asked if the retaining wall along the driveway was tall enough to screen light from the neighbors. Miklo stated that you would still see the garage because you would be looking down on the property. The garage door faces the west, and not the street. It meets the guidelines for structured parking in a neighborhood setting. Smith asked about the height of the building and any related issues. Miklo stated that the western side of the building exceeds the 35 foot maximum, but the average of the height of the house is within the required limits. A turret is proposed which exceeds the limit and is approximately 38 feet. The applicant has applied for a minor modification for a height increase, and the Director of Housing Authority has the authority to grant within 10% of the height requirement. Cindy Parker (President of AXO House Rebuilding Board) & Marsha Grady (Rebuilding Project Manager for the AXO House Rebuilding Board). Clarified that the previous house had an occupancy of 49 and the current proposal has an occupancy of 47. Parker gave some background on the sorority. AXO Sigma chapter is almost 100 years old and has resided at this property for over 80 years. The property is owned by a nonprofit corporation consisting of alumni members of the chapter and its Board of Directors is a volunteer organization. They feel that they have been good neighbors for these 80 years. They keep the property well maintained with a full occupancy. They are a financially stable property owner that has been able to maintain it within the Planning and Zoning Commission April 5, 2007 Page 3 requirements of the Historic Conservation District. It has been a difficult year for them since the tornado with insurance settlements and the demolition of the old house. They thanked the City staff for guiding them through this process and hopes that they have been responsive to their inputs. They want to be good neighbors and citizens and comply whenever they possibly can. The slopes on the lot are historically significant and they would not have chosen to grade them if not for the tornado's damage which made them unable to leave them as they are. They ask for expedient approval of the application since they are working under unique timelines based on the academic calendar in .order to gain occupancy by August, 2008. They cannot afford to be in temporary rental housing for another year. Smith asked about the additional on-site parking. Parker said previously, the lot had eight spaces. Most of the collegiate members were parking on the street. As landlords, they feel that the parking situation will provide more safety for their residents as the area will be off the street and well lit. This seems to be a win-win situation because parking is taken off the street and loosens up congestion with on-street parking and also provides more safety for their residents. Dan Broffitt and Kim McDonald (architects) stated that the building height does exceed the requirement with the turret. They feel that they can work around the height requirement if necessary because the turret is mostly aesthetic. They feel they have a good case for the 10% approval because the previous house was 41 feet tall. The current storm water system is bare bones and there is a good chance that the applicant will pursue on-site retention. They hope to have the project LEED certified. Eastham asked if the water would be stored on the site. Broffitt responded that they could likely use the re-graded area between the house and the driveway. They may also pursue a system which would allow the water to be reused for landscaping purposes. Somewhere down the line, they hope to get the system worked out to be used for flushing, but they're not there yet. McDonald stated that a solution that would be a compromise and would meet the intentions of the Historical Preservation Committee. The plan may require the 10% minor modification but they may leave room to pursue a variance to allow an increased height. This would be a three-month process and is something that could occur after construction starts. Freerks confirmed that this plan would not throw off their current construction schedule. Broffitt reiterated the importance of their tight schedule. He would appreciate our approval tonight subject to the Historic Preservation Commission approval. McDonald stated that they would like to be in the house by July, 2008 and that the construction project is scheduled to take one year. Chris Stephan (MMS) stated that part of the intent of the double deck parking garage was to minimize the footprint and preserve the historic nature of the neighborhood. He stated that the exposed level of the parking garage will look fairly close to what you can see now if you drive by on Governor Street. The approach off Washington will go down into the lower level, over a sidewalk and around a curve. Shannon asked if there was anywhere to expand the number of spaces in the future. Stephan responded that there was not at this point, but he was not sure if it had been discussed. Mark McCallum (owner of 811 College St.) stated that he was on the Historic Preservation Commission several years ago when the language of the Conservation Zone was put in place. He stated that he was responsible for some relief from the language that would have restricted new construction or rebuilds to no more than the size of 1200 feet in a Conservation Zone. He was a member of a Greek house and owns a building that has a larger than 1200 foot facade on College Street. Therefore, he noted that this district is different and contains many large, old buildings, such as Summit Street Apartments. He worked hard to get language into the plan that would make the victim of a tornado or a fire whole again. He stated that the Conservation Zone language does include a grandfather clause that would allow the current applicant to rebuild an equal sized house if theirs was destroyed. He didn't think about the Planning and Zoning Commission April 5, 2007 Page 4 implication of parking. It was his intention not to increase parking requirements but to allow people to rebuild their structures as they used to be. He stated that AXO has a unique situation because they own a very large lot and they are able to add parking. He appreciates the parking garage because it will alleviate parking pressure on the lot. He is concerned because Pi Phi house and the Summit Street Apartments would not be able to be rebuilt as they currently are due to the parking requirements. He is concerned because other properties would not be able to rebuild if their structures had been damaged to the extent that the AXO house had been. The parking requirements prohibit them from rebuilding. He encourages the Commission to look at the language so that other property owners can rebuild on their lots. The intent wasn't to inhibit existing property owners from rebuilding; it was to prevent developers from coming in, buying multiple parcels, and developing the land. Miklo pointed out that the code preservation guidelines limit single-family and duplexes to 1200 square feet facade but this does not apply to multiple family buildings. McCallum asked if this meant that developers could come in, buy multiple lots and build a large structure. Miklo responded that they could if they had the underlying zoning for it but that there were other safeguards that would prevent this from happening in the Conservation District, such as prevention of demolition of a historic building if one was already there. Freerks closed public discussion. Smith made a motion to approve an application submitted by Alpha Chi Omega Sorority for a rezoning from Neighborhood Stabilization Residential (RNS-20) zone to Planned Development Overlay / Neighborhood Stabilization Residential (OPD/RNS-20) zone and a Sensitive Areas Development Plan to the allow grading of regulated slopes on approximately .77 acres of property located at 828 E. Washington Street, subject to approval of the building and parking structures by the Historic Preservation Commission. Koppes seconded. Eastham clarified that the address of the lot is 828 Washington. Koppes asked if minor building modification for height needed to be added to the motion as a stipulation. Miklo responded that it did not because in any case the building height requirement must be met before they can build. Plahutnik is happy to see a new, large, beautiful building coming back on that corner. Shannon thought the building was beautiful before and was sad to see it go. He feels that this is a good use of the property. Freerks thinks that the applicant has met the requirements for a plan such as this. She is happy to see this being built again. Motion carried 6-0 (Brooks absent). Miklo stated that Bob Brooks, who was absent, had chosen to recuse himself from this case because he owns property in the area. Other Items Complete Streets Policy presentation. Yapp said that on Tuesday night the City Council approved a Complete Streets Policy for the City of Iowa City. Miklo stated that the he had asked Yapp to make this presentation because the Commission often deals with street designs during their subdivision review. Planning and Zoning Commission April 5, 2007 Page 5 Yapp said that Complete Streets are streets that serve all potential road users, some of which are often in conflict with each other. Iowa City, for most of their new construction, already follows a Complete Streets policy with sidewalks, bicycle lanes, public transit facilities, bus pull-offs, etc. Yapp said the Complete Streets policy states that all public street projects or public street reconstruction projects (not including maintenance) in the City of Iowa City shall be designed to accommodate travel by pedestrians, bicyclists, public transit, and motorized vehicles and their passengers with the following exceptions: 1. bicyclists and pedestrians are prohibited by law (such as interstate highways); 2. public transit facilities are not required on streets not serving as public transit routes; the desirability of bus turn-off bays and other transit facilities will be determined on a case-by- case basis. 3. where the cost of the facility is excessively disproportionate to the need or probable use, defined as 20% of the project cost. This would occur when there is a reconstruction process which might include a pedestrian tunnel or bridge. In these cases, the City has the option of delaying this part of the project until more funding becomes available. These policies are implemented on either subdivision design standards, which this Commission is the first public body to review, and design of public street projects and city-funded projects. Yapp showed a picture of an incomplete street and pointed out the deficiencies of this example. Not every street under the Complete Streets policy requires sidewalks. A shared roadway is appropriate for lower volume, lower speed situations like alleys. Where a road is wide enough to include bike lanes, a road can be made more complete by adding them. Many local bicyclists do not support bike lanes. Bicyclists prefer to ride with traffic because sand collects in the bike lane. Another option which functions similar to bike lanes are paved shoulders. They are often used in rural areas. Most Iowa City arterial lanes are designed with wide curb lanes where there is enough room to share traffic with bicyclists. Another option is division between parked cars and pedestrians, often in the form of landscaping. This helps make a street more complete. Eastham asked whether there were any subdivision regulations since this policy has been adopted. John responded that there are changes being made to the subdivision code, but they are unrelated to the adoption of this policy. Miklo stated that they are working on a draft of the new code and that it should be ready within the next few months. The subdivision code currently requires sidewalks. Those design requirements are not changing dramatically but they are adding some requirements about where the sidewalks should be located. Yapp said sometimes the Commission gets requests for waivers for sidewalk requirements, especially in industrial zones. However, the City has gotten complaints from employees in industrial zones who like to walk over breaks and lunch periods but there are no sidewalks. There are also people who bike to work or have to walk from the bus stop. Koppes asked about pedestrian crossings, such as in-pavement flashing lights, as installed on Benton. Yapp stated that they thought this would help encourage traffic to yield when the lights were flashing. This plan only worked for a few months and then local drivers, without enforcement, began to ignore them. The City does not want to create a false sense of security for pedestrians by using those. Eastham asked about any costs to developers. John stated that there were none aside from any changes required in their designs. Typically, the changes are to make the streets narrower to encourage slower traffic. This would actually decrease the cost. Shannon asked Yapp's opinion on speed humps. John responded that they are only effective when there are speed issues. It has helped around City High. He doesn't recommend them as a matter of course Planning and Zoning Commission April 5, 2007 Page 6 because it creates irritated drivers which can cause them to break other laws. Shannon said they were probably a better alternative to gates, such as the one on Lexington Street. Eastham asked if Yapp had a map of which streets meet the Complete Streets policy requirements. John stated that he did not but his thought is that most streets do. Freerks stated that this has been an initiative for quite some time. Yapp confirmed this and stated that this has been an initiative of the City but hasn't been in writing. Miklo stated that most of the streets that don't fit these criteria are private developments. Update on Central Planning District. Karen Howard said the Central Planning District surrounds downtown. Since most of the land is developed, this plan is different than most other district plans. A public workshop was held in October and more focused group discussions have been taking place since that time. The focused discussions covered the Northside Marketplace, parks, trails, and open spaces, streets and transportation, housing and quality of life, and Gilbert Street Commercial Area. There will be another public workshop in late spring. The planning workshop gave people the opportunity to get into small groups to discuss issues of concern. Attendance at the October meeting was approximately 90. Most attendees were thankful for the opportunity to get together to discuss the future of their community. The focus groups have a maximum of 20 participants. The discussion is more detailed and focuses on one set of issues. Staff presents background information and issues identified at the October public workshop. Howard summarized the meeting discussion to date and said the next meeting will be April 10 -Housing and Quality of Life. University officials have been invited to discuss the proximity of the neighborhoods to the University. She said the next steps will be: • focused group discussion on the Gilbert Street commercial corridor • 2"d public workshop • Public review draft and presentation to the public and P&Z • PS~Z public hearings • Council public hearings • Adoption Freerks asked about the mix of participants. Miklo stated that there was a wide variety of property owners, students and business owners and that the meeting was very worthwhile from that perspective. Eastham asked how much time the Commission would have to review the draft before they need to make a decision. Howard stated that it was up to the Commission. In the past there has been a presentation to the public of what the plan is and then allow a period of public review time. Most people who have participated are fairly satisfied with the plan as presented. Shannon asked if anyone had mentioned parking on the north side. There are no places for residents to park in front of their homes because people are parking there and then walking to work at the University. Shannon suggested restricting the parking between Sam and 5pm. It would force people to pay for their parking or to use public transit. Miklo stated that this has been a problem for years and that suggestions have been made to issue residential parking permits. Miklo stated that they might get more ideas during this process but might not get a resolution from this process. Eastham suggested parking meters. Other Smith asked about the subdivision draft. Miklo stated that the draft was nearly complete and that it would be shared with Home Builders Association and other groups before the public hearing. Planning and Zoning Commission April 5, 2007 Page 7 Eastham has been considering inviting people to get together with him monthly and discuss planning issues in general. He has thought about inviting the people who applied for the Commission but were not selected. His intent is to further his education and knowledge about local outlooks on planning issues. Freerks feels that these meetings should be public if you're going to form opinions about projects and policies. If the public hears that Eastham is meeting outside of the meetings with private parties, this may become an issue. She recommends using the beginning of the meetings to have people come forward with other items. Koppes also said she feels uncomfortable with this idea. Smith asked about the legal concerns. Holecek stated that if Eastham will be discussing applications, it would be inappropriate to do so. Holecek cautions Eastham because he could be subjected to criticism that he had already made up his mind before coming to the meetings and hearing the public's input. Smith asked if it would be more appropriate to discuss applications that have already been heard, discussed, and decided on in public. Holecek stated that there was a danger from discussing applications that have been decided and comparing them to future and current applications. Holecek feels that it would be difficult to harness these discussions to things that are appropriate. Eastham asked what methods he could use to educate himself. He stated that he is aware that he can read information, etc. but he would like a way to learn through dialogue. Holecek stated that the Commission is always approached with questions but that they must keep the discussions to hypothetical questions and not discuss specific applications. Koppes recommended going to the education meetings that are offered by the American Planning Association. Miklo stated that the City will reimburse any costs of going to these meetings. It was the consensus of the Commission that it was best not to have ad hoc committees. If there are topics for which they would like to get public input they could place those on the agenda and get the word out to the public. This could be similar to the way staff gathers input for the District Planning meetings. Consideration of the March 15 2007 Meeting Minutes Eastham motioned to approve. Koppes seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
