I have forwarded your request for repairs of the benches downtown on the Pentacrest side of the Downtown Transit interchange to Larry Wilson of the University ofIowa since those benches actually belong to the University. I am looking into adding the benches on Westgate Street and in front of Hartig Drug on Mormon Trek Boulevard that you mentioned. We currently have five bus shelters on order which will be installed at heavily utilized bus stops around Iowa City when they arrive. We also have a couple of other requests for benches at bus stops that we are looking at to determine if there is adequate room to install a bench in the City Right of Way while taking into account the safety of passengers sitting on the bench next to the road since the Right of Way is narrower in some locations. Please let me know if you have further questions, concerns or comments. Sincerely, ~~~ Ron Logsden Transit Manager Iowa City Transit 1200 S.

Atkins City Manager Civic Center Iowa City, IA 52240 Dear Mr. Atkins, Although your letter of March 6, 2007 requests a written report for the 2008 All-Iowa New Horizons Extravaganza, it seems appropriate that you and the City Council also receive a report on the recent (June 2, 2007) event. Enclosed is such a report, along with several enclosures of interest. Weare most grateful to the City of Iowa City for the support provided for this program. These funds are an excellent investment in, what has become a superb community outreach event. As you can see from the report, well over 500 Iowans from four major population areas participated in and enjoyed this "senior music project." With regard to your request to provide for a recycling initiative, we are pleased to report that all plastic water bottles and soda cans from this event were collected and delivered to a recycling center. Additionally, the few remaining printed programs have been stored for future public relations packets. The evaluation forms have been entered electronically, and will be recycled in the near future. Thank you again for your years of support. Sincerely, f!Jtr~r9f~~-L/ N ancy Wombacher Trumpet Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center New Horizons Band Committee Member, All-Iowa New Horizons Band Extravaganza V<c: City Council Enclosures All-Iowa New Horizons Band Extravaganza VII Hosted by Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center New Horizons Band June 2, 2007 Proiect Summary On June 2, 2007, beginning at 1 :00 PM, several groups from the Iowa City New Horizons Band provided pre-concert entertainment in front of the historic Englert Theater in downtown Iowa City. First up was an eight member band called the The Polka Dots, who entertained the sidewalk audience with several polkas, concluding with a foot-stomping sing-along performance of the Beer Barrel Polka. Also performing was a group called Second Wind, comprised of four woodwinds and one French horn; and two former high school classmates (class of' 51) playing flute and alto saxophone jazz duets. Beginning at 2:00 PM inside the Englert, New Horizons Bands from the Quad Cities, Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Iowa City gathered to perform a free 3-hour concert to "Celebrate Iowa." Music included Karl King's Miss Liberty March (Des Moines Band), Kentucky Sunrise (Cedar Rapids Band) and Iowa Centennial March (Iowa City Band). The CASI New Horizons Band of Quad Cities played an old novelty tune, Goofus which is about a young Iowa trombone player who "...can't read notes, but I play anything by ear...made up tunes on the sounds that I used to hear. . .." The Quad Cities band also played an impressive interpretation of Bix Biederbecke's In A Mist arranged by one of their senior trumpet players, Bob DuBois. In addition to Kentucky Sunrise, the Cedar Rapids Band's play list included C. L. Barnhouse's Among the Roses, and Meredith Willson's Music Man Highlights. No concert with this theme would be complete without The Iowa Corn Song as played by the Cedar Rapids band with vocal assistance by the entire audience. The grand finale was a rousing version of Meredith Wilson's Seventy-six Trombones by the host band (Iowa City). Well over 500 Iowans attended and benefited from this event. This includes a total of200 band members and directors, and more than 300 audience members. Following the concert, around 200 - 225 participants and audience members enjoyed a reception at the Senior Center. Participant evaluations from the event were extremely positive and are discussed below. The only change from the originally planned program was the withdrawal of the Mason City and Cedar Falls bands. The reasons for this had to do with conflicts that developed for a significant number of their band members. Both bands expressed sincere disappointment at not being able to participate in this year's event and are enthusiastic about participating in future All- Iowa New Horizons Band Festivals. The new, New Horizons Band in Sioux City has also expressed an interest in performing as a band in the years to come, however they only recently organized their group and indicated that they are not yet ready to perform "as a band" in a concert, but hope to be ready by next year. Success/Barriers. The stated goals were to promote the involvement of Iowa seniors in a stimulating and healthy community arts environment, to promote seniors in arts and to challenge stereotypes related to the role of seniors in the arts. These goals were successfully met. The event evaluations, which were primarily completed by the adult participants, were unanimously positive. For instance, to the evaluation item, "Please finish this sentence: This event made me feel...... .. .. ...:" responses from audience members included: Syncopated Impressed with what seniors can accomplish Good Happy--enjoying the talents 17/23/2007 12:21:02 PM All-Iowa New Horizons Band Extravaganza VII Hosted by Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center New Horizons Band June 2, 2007 Fulfilled Uplifted Like an exceedingly mature "high schooler" To the same question, band members said things such as: Happy to be an active senior Glad I learned to playas a child and can continue to participate as an adult Invigorated Glad to be playing At ease Grateful to have this opportunity Delighted to see old friends and make new ones ... with music Exceedingly grateful to the Iowa City band for hosting this event Several factors contributed to the event's overall success. First, it was well planned and organized and was supported by several community partners and volunteers as well as a major community event. Advertising was comprehensive. The event provided an opportunity for seniors to demonstrate their musical talents and provide a quality concert that challenged traditional stereotypes and could be enjoyed by people of all ages. Finally, it was a fun experience for everyone involved. Seven bands had originally been invited to participate, which would have included a total of about 250 participating band members. Due to the competing time commitments of band members, only four bands totaling 192 band members and eight directors participated. The original estimate of anticipated audience members was about 250. The actual number was more than 300. It was an intergenerational audience, ranging from infants through teens to young, middle aged, and senior adults. Audience members did tend to come and go throughout the afternoon, many to "sample" the other activities of the annual ArtsFest in downtown Iowa City. Scheduling the Band Festival during the Iowa City ArtsFest meant that many community members (and potential concert attendees) would be in the downtown area during the free concert. It also meant that there were many other attractive activities to participate in at the same time. Given the overall concert attendance, it appears that the benefits of the former outweighed the drawbacks of the latter. As the final applause for the concert began, rain storms moved into Iowa City, and many people left directly from the theater rather than walking the short distance to the Senior Center. Consequently, only about 200 - 225 musicians and audience members took advantage of the food and camaraderie of the reception held at the Senior Center. In the future, consideration will be given to providing some form of appropriate transportation for weather related developments. It might be possible to secure a shuttle bus or several golf carts to transfer folks and their instruments back and forth between the Senior Center and the Englert Theater. Although we had hoped for a better return of evaluations, we were pleased to receive 55 completed forms, plus more than a dozen subsequent e-mails. For this event evaluation forms were inserted into the printed programs and return boxes located at the Senior Center. To increase the response rate in the future, receptacles will be located at the theater and additional evaluation forms will be made available at the reception. Additionally, respondents will be given the option of mailing (or e-mailing) completed evaluations back in the days following the event. 17/23/2007 12:21:02 PM All-Iowa New Horizons Band Extravaganza VII Hosted by Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center New Horizons Band June 2, 2007 Anecdotal Information Successes: Positive comments from participants and audience members include: "variety of good music live---and it's free!" "It's good to hear good music played by seniors;" "the camaraderie of all the bands;" "location is good;" "great music--develop friends from other bands;" "enjoyed the music, people, venue;" "hearing the other bands and seeing old friends;" "enjoyed most the people and the music;" "enjoyed seeing how the players had a good time." Criticisms: "It was a bit too long-went past scheduled time." "Length of program-each group should play no more than 5 pieces and only one medley!" "Band directors tend to talk too much. Program notes can be read." "...need to find a way to limit bands to defined schedule...those who ignored the allotted time for performance." Comments (of interest): "consider having some smaller groups within the larger bands perform some numbers to vary the program;" "add a few 'sing-along' pieces for audience participation;" "include a paragraph about each band-events they participate in, how they are increasing music appreciation in their communities, etc." Weare grateful for these constructive comments and will use many of the ideas in planning future events. Program notes would obviously reduce the need for extended explanations and descriptions by directors and announcers. Reminders to the directors about adhering to the schedule should also be included in any future planning documents. Additionally, the actual times for each band could be printed in the program. The Committee will also look for possible opportunities to integrate some small groups into the actual concert program, however, without lengthening the total concert time. Outreach Posters and invitations went to over 60 places of worship in the Iowa City/Coralville area. Additionally, notices were delivered to libraries, community centers, congregate meal sites, senior centers, low-income housing, retirement complexes and care centers in Johnson County and the surrounding counties. Ads were placed in the Iowa City Press Citizen and the Iowa City Gazette. Notices were furnished to the guest bands for distribution in their communities. Public Service Announcements went to area media, as well as to subscribers to ICgov2U (classes, programs & events). 17/23/2007 12:21:02 PM PREP ARING FOR THE EXTRAVAGANZA RECEPTION Friday, June 1,2007 members of the Iowa City New Horizons Band create 600 OUTSTANDING meatballs from 150 lbs. of ground beef for the reception at the Iowa City/Johnson County Senior Center following the All-Iowa New Horizons Band Extravaganza concert at the historic Englert Theatre on June 2, 2007.

The Iowa City New Horizons Band was the fourth band to become established and has been a leading pro- gram nationally for more than twelve years. In 1999, Don Coffman envisioned a gathering of the Iowa NHBs. The first Extravaganza brought in the Quad Cities band and a few folks from the fledg- ling Cedar Rapids Band The concerts were bi-annu- al events for a while (1999; 2001, 2003), but the enthu- siasm was so high that Co:tIman llSked Nancy WombaCher; Who has organized all the Extravaganzas, if she was willing to make it an annu- al event, and she enthusias- tically agreed.

The Des Moines band begins the string of performances inside The Englert, starting at 2 p.m., followed by the Cedar Rapids band at 2:40, the Quad Cities band at 3:20, and the Iowa City band at 4 p.m The concert theme is "Celebrate Iowa" and each band's performance will include some tunes that were written by Iowa- based composers, such as: "Iowa Centennial," "Kentucky Swuise," and "Miss Liberty" marches (Karl L. King), "Goofus" (Bix Beiderbecke), "Iowa Corn Song" (John Beeston), "Among the Roses" waltz (C. L. Barnhouse), and "Seventy- Six Trombones" (Meredith Willson). Admission is free to the Extravaganza.

Newsletter Know what you get when you mix 150 Ibs. of hamburger, a percussionist, a flautist, 2 clarinet players, a horn player and a trumpet player?????? 600 OUTSTANDING MEATBALLS!!!!!! Iowa City Arts Festival day (June 2nd) started out sunny and windless and ended in a downpour. But, never mind. In between it seems the whole city and then some turned out to stroll among the artists' stalls and to hear toe-tapping music from outside and inside downtown's beautifully restored Englert Theater. Part of the festivities was the New Horizons Bands Extravaganza that featured four New Horizons Iowa bands (out of seven in the state) in concert all afternoon. To "shill" the event, three small-group subsets ofthe Iowa City NHB entertained an enthusiastic public in front of the theater. The "2nd Wind" quintet of clarinet players was succeeded by a pair of former area high school classmates (class of' 51) playing swinging alto saxlflute duets. These were followed by the "Polka Dots," a polka band of foot-stomping seniors dressed in (what else?) polka dot vests. Their program ended with a rendition of Beer Barrel Polka, for which the horde of bystanders joined in singing and clapping. With that, the concert started inside promptly at 2:00 PM for an audience of about 500 (including the 200 musicians waiting their turn). The Extravaganza was inaugurated in June, 1999 in Iowa City, featuring 90 musicians from the four Iowa bands in existence at the time. It was a day of camaraderie, picnicking and rehearsing, culminating in a three-hour concert in the downtown pedestrian mall with the combined bands playing the 1812 Overture as grand finale. Although it wasn't possible to have the massed bands on the Englert stage, this year's event was no less exciting. The entire afternoon was organized around a "Celebrate Iowa" theme. For example, the leadoff band, The Des Moines NHB (the state's newest NHB, directed by Ron Rieckmann) began with "The Miss Liberty March" by Iowa's march master, Karl King. Other selections included "Three Songs From Colonial America" arr. by Leroy Jackson, and highlights from "West Side Story" by L. Bernstein, arr. by Ted Ingram. The "Iowa" connections for the Cedar Rapids NHB (Alan Lawrence, Dir., Luman Colton, Asst. Dir.) included the "Iowa Com Song" with enthusiastic audience participation. This piece was reportedly written by George Hamilton in 1912 on a train bound for a Shriner's convention in California, with verses added in 1921 by John Beeston, a Des Moines organ maker and Shriner band director. Cedar Rapids also played "Music Man Highlights" from the score by Mason City's Meredith Willson. This performance was followed by the CASI NHB of the Quad Cities (Bob Gaston, Dir.; Charles DCamp, Asst. Dir.). The band's Iowa selections included "Goof us" written by radio, TV star, and orchestra director, Wayne King. King was raised in the Annie Wittenmeyer Orphanage in Davenport. The band's other Iowa selection was a band arrangement (by trumpeter Bob DuBois) of a rare and beautiful piano piece by Davenport's own Bix Beiderbecke called "In a Mist. " The host band, Iowa City's NHB, is directed by Don Coffman, UI Professor of Music Education. He was ably assisted in conducting and generally managing the band by Ul students, Erin Wehr-Flowers and Brett Messenger. The band began its part of the concert with the "Iowa Centennial March" by Karl King. Continuing the Iowa theme, the band played the "Maxi March" by the UI's former director of bands, Frank Piersol, and Meredith Willson's "Seventy -Six Trombones." The program included two tone pieces, "American Elegy" (Frank Ticheli) and "In the Shining of the Stars" (Robert Sheldon). They also played the lively and demanding pieces, "Yorkshire Overture" (Philip Sparke) and Eine Kleine Yiddishe Ragmusick" (Adam Gorb). Extravaganza article for newsletter 7/24/2007 3:36:50 PM A reception followed in the Senior Center a block away. The reports are that all the musicians and their groupies enjoyed it immensely. Special thanks (and open-mouthed awe) go to the percussionists and friends who lugged 4 tympani, I bass drum, orchestra bells and various other large percussion pieces from the Senior Center, up the street, down the alley and into the "stage door" of the theater (in the sunshine going-in a monsoon-like cloudburst on return); and to the half-dozen band members who showed up the day before to help prepare food for the reception, including shaping 150 Ibs. of hamburger into 600 OUTSTANDING meatballs.

Starting at 2:00 PM, bands from Des Moines, Cedar Rapids, Quad Cities, and our own Iowa City New Horizons band win perfotm for about 30 minutes each at the historic Englert Theater in downtown Iowa City. Members of the newly formed Sioux City New Horizons Band will also be participating. This annual event will bring together about 220 musicians, plus family and friends for a splencflferous day of camaraderie and music. Since the -inaugurar event in 1999 when about 90 musicians from several communities shared a fun day of picnicking and music, the event has more than doubled in size. New Horizon Bands provide an oppol'tUi1ity for -chronologically gifted" adults (50+) to Ieam to playa musical instrument or to resumeJcontinue, and enjoy playing with others in a band. N. membership has grown in the Iowa City band, it has allowed for various performing groups and chamber ensembles to develop. Band membet$ can testify that it is possible to learn to play an instrument as a senior adult! Playing in a band is just too much fun to leave it all to the younger kids.

The bill, which exceeds the President's budget request by more than $4.1 billion, would provide $104.4 billion for transportation and housing programs. The Senate Appropriations Committee adopted its transportation and housing spending bill, S. 1789, earlier this month; that bill would provide $104.6 billion for transportation and housing programs and awaits action by the full Senate. (Mike Wallace,WClIIClGe@nIG.qrg, 202.626.3025, Leslie Wallack, WoIIClck@nIG,org, 202.626.3029) Labor-HHS Spending Bill Passes House and Awaits Action in Senate Last week, the House adopted a bill to fund the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education (HR. 3043) by a vote of 276 -- 140. Under the bill, Title I schools, the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program or L1HEAP, and pandemic influenza preparedness would see funding increases, while unobligated funds for the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) program would be rescinded. NLC sent a letter supporting the funding increases and opposing cuts to WIA to Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-WI) and Ranking Member Jerry Lewis (R-CA). (To.y.iewJ:3 copy of the letter, gickJJere.) The Senate is scheduled to vote on its version of the bill (S. 1710) before the August recess. The Senate bill would increase funding for Title I programs, the National Institutes of Health, community and rural health centers, L1HEAP and pandemic influenza preparedness, but would not rescind WIA funds. The White House has threatened to veto either version of the bill because they exceed the President's budget request. (Neil Bomberg, pomb€;lrg@nlg.org, 202.626.3042) Senate Begins Debate on Homeland Security Spending Bill 7/31/2007 Page 2 of 4 Earlier this week, the Senate began debate on S. 1644, the FY 08 Homeland Security spending bill. The $37.6 billion spending bill exceeds the President's request by $2.3 billion, and the House-passed version, H.R. 2638, by $177 million. Both the House and Senate versions of the funding bill include funding for local emergency responder programs and interoperable communications grants. In a rare bipartisan agreement on an immigration issue, an amendment that would add $3 billion in emergency spending for border enforcement was approved 89- 1. The Senate bill would provide $1.8 billion more for state and local first-responder grants than the President requested. The bill would provide $400 million for port security grants, which is equal to the proposed funding in the House bill and $190 million more than the President requested. It would provide $820 million for urban area security grants, which is $20 million more than in the House bill and the President's request. The bill would fund rail and mass transit security grants at $400 million, which matches the House bill and is $225 million more than the President requested. The President has threatened to veto the bill because it exceeds his budget request. (Leslie Wollack, WQIIC3Ck@nIG.o-ffi, 202.626.3029) Three Percent Withholding Requirement Implementation May Be Delayed One Year On July 18, the House Ways and Means Committee approved the Tax Collection Responsibility Act of 2007 (H.R. 3056). The bill includes language that would delay for one year implementation of a requirement that the federal, state and local governments withhold contractor and vendor fees for tax collection purposes. Current law requires that, starting December 31,2010, governments spending more than $100 million per year on purchases of goods and services must withhold three percent from all payments to contractors and vendors and remit those funds to the Internal Revenue Service to be applied toward the contractors' and vendors' federal income tax liabilities. Under H.R. 3056, the implementation of that requirement would be delayed to December 31,2011. This bill also directs the Department of the Treasury to study the impact of the withholding requirement and issue its findings within six months of the Act's enactment. NLC, along with several national associations, sent a letter to Chairman Charles Rangel (D-NY) and Ranking Member Jim McCrery (R-LA) supporting the one-year delay and urging that the provision ultimately be repealed. (To view the letter, 'click here.) (Christina Fletcher Loftus, 202.626.3173) Public Safety Collective Bargaining Bill Passes the House Last week, the House passed H.R. 980, the Public Safety Employer-Employee Cooperation Act of 2007. (Io vieVl! tbJLQ[IJ,_clicILhere.) This collective bargaining legislation interferes with state laws, violates federalism principles, and may be unconstitutional. NLC, along with other national groups and the State Municipal Leagues, will continue to work in opposition to the bill as it moves to the Senate. (Neil Bomberg,POrnberg@nIG.org, 202.626.3042) House Committee Holds Hearings on Clean Water Restoration Act Last week, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Water Resources and Environment held two hearings on the status of the nation's waters, including wetlands that come under the jurisdiction of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act. Earlier this year, Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-MN) introduced H.R. 2421, the Clean Water Restoration Act of 2007, which is an attempt at a legislative fix to the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions impacting federal regulatory jurisdiction over the nation's waters. The bill, which has 168 co-sponsors, would change the language in the Clean Water Act by striking the definition of "navigable waters" and all references to the term, and replace it with a new definition of "waters of the U.S." Proponents of the bill argue that the original intent of the Clean Water Act was to protect all U.S. waters, and believe that the law should extend to all upstream tributaries. Opponents argue that the bill oversteps Congressional bounds and usurps local and state authority over water bodies within their boundaries. NLC has not taken a position on the legislation. (Leslie Wollack, WQIIQc:l<@nlc:.Qrg, and Carolyn Berndt,bE?rocjt@nlc:,OC9, 202.626.3101) House Passes Section 8 Reform Bill H.R. 1851, the "Section 8 Voucher Reform Act," passed the House, 333-83. The Section 8 voucher program, the largest federal low-income housing program, provides rental assistance for eligible families. The bill makes 7/3112007 Page 3 of 4 several modest reforms to the program aimed at making Section 8 funding stable and efficient. Among them, the bill requires HUD to use better housing-cost data to determine the distribution of Section 8 funds. Also, the bill provides incentives to public housing agencies (PHAs) that utilize greater amounts of their Section 8 funds. These PHAs would receive additional funds that are recaptured from those PHAs that fail to meet utilization thresholds. The final provision of the bill expands the "Moving-to-Work (MTW)" program from 25 participating PHAs to 80. Under MTW, HUD can waive particular rules governing the Section 8 program for participating PHAs. The waivers create the necessary flexibility for encouraging innovative programmatic strategies, such as coordinating benefits from multiple programs like Section 8 and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). H.R. 1851 currently awaits action in the Senate. (Mike Wallace,wi3IIi3Ge@nIG.Qrg, 202.626.3025) House Passes Pair of Bills Aimed at Rural Housing The House passed H.R. 1980, the "Housing Assistance Council Authorization Act," and H.R. 1982, the "Rural Housing and Economic Development Improvement Act." Both bills are aimed at improving rural housing development. H.R. 1980 authorizes Congress to annually fund the Housing Assistance Council, a national housing assistance group specializing in the development of housing for working low-income rural families. H.R. 1982 rejuvenates funding for the Rural Housing and Economic Development program, which is the only exclusively rural housing program administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The program provides competitive grants to support housing and economic development programs across the country. Although the Senate has yet to consider either bill, House appropriators decided to provide funding for both programs in FY 2008. However, with the threat of a Presidential veto looming for nearly all domestic spending bills, the ultimate amount of funding is far from certain. (Mike Wallace, wi3IIc:lGe@nIG,Qrg, 202.626.3025) Senate Commerce Committee Passes Broadband Legislation On July 19, the Senate Commerce Committee approved legislation, S. 1492, intended to produce a more accurate picture of the U.S. broadband market. In addition to directing the FCC to improve its definitions of broadband and to enhance broadband providers' reporting requirements, the bill authorizes a five-year $200 million grant program to be used to support state-level initiatives to map current broadband availability and identify barriers to broadband deployment. This portion of the legislation is modeled on the "Connect Kentucky" program, Kentucky's comprehensive plan to accelerate technology growth, which will result in that state achieving full broadband coverage by the end of 2007. (Christina Fletcher Loftus, IQfJLJ~IG.orq, 202.626.3173) SCHIP Proposal Moves Forward in the Senate Last week, the Senate Finance Committee approved legislation to reauthorize SCHIP, the State Children's Health Insurance Program, for an additional five years. The Senate bill would increase funding for SCHIP by $35 billion to $60 billion over five years, reach millions more children than the current program, provide coverage to women who are pregnant, and substantially reduce the number of uninsured children. The House is expected to begin considering its own version of the bill soon. The House bill would increase funding for SCHIP by $50 billion to $75 billion over five years. Like its Senate counterpart, coverage would be extended to include children whose families are not eligible for Medicaid but within 300 percent of poverty, and provide coverage to women who are pregnant. The bill also would allow states to cover children who have "aged out of the program." Both proposals, which rely on an increase in the tobacco tax to pay for the additional spending, have drawn veto threats from the White House. (Neil Bomberg,Q.Qrnberg@nLQ.org, 202.626.3042) THE COURTS Local Governments File Brief with Court Blasting FCC Video Franchising Order On July 18, NLC, along with other local government organizations, filed a Brief with the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in support of its request that the Court overturn the video franchising Order issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in March. In the Brief, the groups argue that the FCC lacked statutory authority, acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner, and violated public notice requirements when it issued its Order. The groups also assert that the Order would severely restrict the ability of local governments to protect their citizens, rights-of-way, community channels and 7/3112007 Page 4 of 4 public safety networks. In addition, the groups argue that the Order could lead to lost revenues and control over public rights of way, as well as loss of cable services to many governmental buildings and schools. (To view the Brief. click here.) On July 24, the Court denied the groups' separately filed motion requesting that the Court block the Order from going into effect until after it makes a final determination on the lawsuit. According to the Court, the groups may renew their motion for a stay with the Court after a ruling on the stay by the FCC.

From: Date: The Johnson County Board of Supervisors Pat Harney, Chairperson, Sally Stutsman, Terrence Neuzil, Rod Sullivan, Richard Meyers The Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission Iowa City City Council Area Residents 7/30/07 ~ To: We have attached signed petitions opposing the proposed Firing Range at 4703 Orval Yoder Turnpike SW, Kalona. During the meeting at Yoder's Auction Service in Fry town, on July 5, it was decided that we would develop a formal petition to circulate and submit to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors and the Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission. We are also submitting this petition to the Iowa City City Council. We have over 600 signed petitions, representing the greater Fry town area and others who have an interest in supporting this petition. Roger Boldt and Dave Henderson, Neighborhood Representatives (605 Signatures on petitions.) F-, '--' z~.. ~'.~~'-, '---.! G) r:::i =n --- ~ , ; ! ---, :::.-~ ,J-> C:? G W Petition to: The Johnson County Board of Supervisors and the Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission From: Area Residents We, the undersigned, strongly oppose the rezoning of the property located at 4703 Orval Yoder Turnpike Sw, Kalona, hereinafter referred to as "the property," for the future construction of a law enforcement firing range, for the following reasons: 1. The property, currently zoned for agricultural use, is surrounded by many well established farms and residences, new homes, and residential lots already approved for future residential construction; 2. The sound of gunfire carries multiple miles and would eliminate the rural "peace and quiet" in an area that is free of any other significant noise pollution. A significant reduction in the value of all property in the area would result; 3. The construction of a firing range on the property would have an immediate and direct negative impact on several small businesses in the area; 4. We understand that safety is of primary concern to law enforcement entities but the large amount of ammunition discharged would create a realistic concern for landowners and livestock owners; 5. The use of the property as a firing range would be inconsistent with the Johnson County Land Use Plan; 6. There would be a realistic concern about the environmental impact on water quality caused by lead runoff from the property; 7. The cost of purchasing the property would be a poor use of public monies when there are suitable alternative public sites; 8. A firing range, especially one bearing the name of Jetseta Gage, would be a disrespectful use of this property and would be a constant reminder of the tragedy that occurred there. For the above reasons, we would respectfully ask that the Johnson County Planning and Zoning Commission recommend denial of any application for rezoning of the property to Public Use and further ask the Johnson County Board of Supervisors to affirm said recommendation and deny any such rezoning request. --.J G~) f '-~- -) ----. j r -.

Our hearts go out to the families and friends of the deceased. In addition, we will keep the first responders, other city workers, and relief workers in our thoughts as they continue their hard work through a difficult rescue and recovery effort. Sincerely, Ross Wilburn Mayor City of Iowa City, IA 8/212007 MINUTES Iowa City Airport Commission July 19, 2007 Iowa City Airport Terminal- 5:45 PM [:;[J DRAFT Members Present: Howard Horan, Chair; Randy Hartwig; John Staley; Greg Farris Members Absent: Janelle Rettig Staff Present: Sue Dulek, Michael Tharp Others Present: Jerry Searle, Dan Yeager, Jay Honeck, Mary Honeck, Rick Mascari, Gary Lust, Sharon Lust, David Hughes, Minnetta Gardinier DETERMINE QUORUM: The meeting was called to order at 5 :45 P.M. by Horan. RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL: N' one APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE JUNE 7,8, and 28, 2007 and JULY 9, 2007 MEETINGS: There were no changes/additions/corrections to the above noted minutes. Hartwig moved to accept the June 7, 8, and 28, and July 9, 2007 meeting minutes as presented; seconded by Farris. Carried 4-0; Rettig absent. J>UBLIC DISCUSSION: Kone. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION/ACTION: A) Runway 18-36 - Rick Mascari addressed the commission and thanked them for including this agenda item request. Mascari commented that Jerry Searle from Snyder & Associates would be attending the meeting, but hadn't arrived yet. Mascari addressed the commission regarding the possibility of re-opening 18-36. Mascari discussed the question of "Why do we want the runway reopened?" Mascari discussed the issues of crosswind landing at the airport. Mascari stressed that the airport has not had a crosswind landing accident due to the three runway configuration. Mascari then addressed the current YOR-A approach procedure which currently brings aircraft to the center of the airport and makes them circle to land. Mascari discussed the potential hazard of flying the circle to land while trying to keep the 1 Airport Commission July 19, 2007 Page 2 of8 runway environment in sight. Mascari commented that with the runway open, an aircraft could instead fly a straight in approach and land and 36. Mascari then addressed the potential cost of the runway, stating that in 1996 the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) declared they would no longer support three runways at Iowa City. Mascari expanded on that stating that meant the FAA would no longer provide grants for major improvements and rehabilitations of the runway, minor repairs such as fixing cracks were the responsibility of the Airport Sponsor. Mascari addressed the cost of upkeep on the runway stating he compared the city contributions of the general levy to the airport in a year when the runway was open, to a year when the runway was closed. Mascari stated that in 2003, the general levy contribution was $129,524, and in 2006, the contribution was $112,000. Mascari stated that in 2004 they had expenses from the cost of the full time manager, as well as more hangar debt. Mascari then concluded that it shouldn't cost much to maintain the runway. Mascari then addressed the displaced threshold that was put in place when the north commercial park was designed. Mascari also mentioned the ASOS weather equipment that was placed in the field and required the removal of part of the runway. Mascari then discussed the steps that would be required to re-open the runway, which included painting the runway with chevrons for the areas that would be closed, and updating the Airport Layout Plan. Mascari addressed the potential drainage issue using only one-half of the runway. Mascari addressed the conflict with the ASOS equipment which he felt didn't conflict with any zones. Hartwig commented that he would be skeptical that the ASOS in its current location would not be a hazard. Searle discussed the FAA criteria regarding some of the protection zones and Part 77 airspace. Searle discussed the need to clear the road (Mormon Trek) and the threshold would be displaced based on that. Searle stated that the north end was marked as relocated and not displaced. Searle stated that the runway would not have a published approach. Hartwig commented that in terms of safety that all areas of the airport have something on the end that is a potential hazard. Hartwig then asked Searle about a runway with 2 displaced thresholds, to which Searle responded the FAA doesn't like that scenario and would not look favorably on it. Hartwig commented on the displaced threshold and how pilots have trouble landing past the displaced threshold and this negates the safety measure that the threshold itself is put there to correct. Mascari confirmed some of the costs with Searle regarding pavement markings and the ALP update costs. Hartwig responded to the costs, and stated that because of the age of the runway it would be reasonable to assume that the there would need to be money spent on the runway. Mascari commented on the runway 2 Airport Commission July 19, 2007 Page 3 of8 conditions referring to one of the pavement condition reports showing 18- 36 rated as poor to good and the other 2 runways were rated as good. Hartwig commented that he was frustrated with this discussion taking place now after the airport has continned with the city, state, and FAA that this was the direction they were going to, and stated that the credibility of the Airport is also at stake if they choose to go back to altering the plans. Mascari addressed the understanding with the city that the runway would be able to stay open until the other improvements were completed. Horan asked about the ASOS equipment and the impact of activity on the equipment. Hartwig stated that part of the reason it was located at its current position was because that was the best spot that kept it within all the sighting and alignment criteria. Searle commented his initial thought would be that the ASOS would need to be relocated. Dan Yeager commented on the safety of the takeoff on 18 that there is a roadway that runs parallel and could be used in the event of an engine failure. Staley questioned the approach procedure and the wind effects and the risk factors there. Mascari responded and stated that his concern is with turning with a cross-wind when he's flying low and slow on the approach. Yeager expanded by noting that there is low level wind turbulence coming from nearby buildings. Gary Lust commented on the approach that there was a YOR-36 approach that was a straight in approach that took pilots to the end of the runway, and the YOR-A now takes pilots to the center of the airport. Horan stated his concerns regarding the ASOS and potential reporting impacts by aircraft near it. Farris stated that there are more costs with having 18-36 open because that would remove southern areas from possible development, and there would be opportunity costs lost there, as well as the FAA paid study that is going on for that area. Tharp questioned how long the north area had been on the market. Mascari responded that it was placed on the market in 1998. Horan asked for any other comments from the public in attendance or any other comments from the Commission. Tharp stated he would like to expand on some of the maintenance costs. Tharp noted that the last pavement condition report was done in 2005, and at that time runway 18- 36 averaged a 52 rating which put it in the category of major rehabilitation. Tharp stated that with the costs estimated in the book that the airport should be spending roughly $2.75 per foot for runway repairs. Tharp expanded his remarks to clarify the costs are increased because the pavement failures are more dire. Tharp stated that he felt it would take more money than had been discussed to re-open the runway. Staley asked that with the airport budget, where does the airport come up with whatever money is required to reopen the runway? Mascari 3 Airport Commission July 19, 2007 Page 4 of8 suggested that with the money the airport spends in relation to improving hangars, and that perhaps re-prioritizing some of the projects would be a possibility. Horan asked for any comments and not hearing any stated he felt that he is comfortable with the current airport plans for completing the runway 7-25 extension, which included the removal of the United Hangar. Horan expanded that he hoped the airport would be paving and lighting this building season, and when that project is funded the need to remove the United hangar could no longer be pushed out. Horan asked if anyone had any other ideas, and hearing none, suggested moving on to the next item. B) Aviation Commerce Park -- Horan stated Harry Wolf was unable to attend, but stated that he had some new interest in lots, and that the airport commission should stay on their toes for some special meetings. C) F AAlIDOT Projects - Earth Tech - David Hughes - Hughes made sure that the Commission did receive the monthly update that he sent out. Hughes then went through the items for updates I) Runway 7/25 - Grading has been completed, and there are a couple of punch list items left to finished. Hughes noted that the Paving and Lighting is out to bid, and that the FAA has said that currently there is no discretionary money available, and they hope to have some by the time the project is bid. II) South Aviation Development Study - Hughes stated that this is also waiting on the drainage study which is being reviewed by the city. The Drainage study would contain dollar estimates that might affect some of the south planning layouts III) South Taxilane Rehab - Hughes noted there were some water issues with the taxilane, and that they would be getting with the contractor to correct the deficiencies. IV) Hangar A Rehab - Consider a resolution accepting work for Hangar A Floors - Hughes noted that they had been told earlier in the week that there was a issue with some raised concrete and a door not closing. He will get with the contractor to repair this, and hopefully close the project at the next meeting. Commission deferred the Resolution to August meeting. V) Hangar A & B Doors - No discussion VI) Terminal Apron Rehab - Hughes commented they are finishing the plans for this project and noted that construction on that would still be this construction season. VII) Obstruction Mitigation - Hughes noted that most of the MidAmerican lines can be placed underground in the DOT right of way. He noted that MidAmerican would like an easement to place a piece of equipment on airport land. Horan 4 Airport Commission July 19, 2007 Page 5 of8 questioned that if this work was to be completed by the end of this construction season, to which Hughes responded that was correct VIII) 405 Approach Surveys - Hughes noted they are addressing some more FAA comments and are working towards completion D) Acrobatic Flight Training Operations - Tharp noted he hadn't heard anything from the operators, and didn't have anything new to add. E) University of Iowa /Operator Performance Labs - Consider a resolution accepting a Letter of Intent with the University of Iowa for expansion of Building H - Tharp commented that the University would like to defer accepting the Letter of Intent until the August meeting. Tharp stated that there has been some additional comments on the proposed 20 year lease. Tharp noted that the project itself would be secured, but the length of the lease term was what was being questioned. Commission deferred the Resolution to August meeting. F) T-Hangar Contracts and Rates - Hartwig and Farris recused themselves from the discussion due to a conflict of interest. Tharp noted that in the packet were what the current rates and a memo from Tharp stating the background information. Tharp noted that the hangar rates hadn't been adjusted since 2003 for A,B,C and 2005 for I,J,K. Tharp proposed increasing the rates based on an inflationary adjustment. Tharp commented that hangars A,B, and C were, in his view, corning up to the upper end of the rental rates that would be accepted. He also commented that since there is' a waiting list for spots at Iowa City, the market may be a little more flexible. Tharp noted that his figures included the electric costs of the hangars. Staley commented that if that was the case, then they should strike the voluntary electric payment section. G) Wal-Mart Storm-water Management Easement - Tharp commented that this is one of the wildlife hazard mitigation items, and that he and Dulek met with city staff to discuss this. Tharp stated that the Wal-Mart easement with the airport consists of roughly enough land to have a slope and fence in to the pond. Tharp also stated that they discovered that this facility was indeed designed as a wet bottom detention pond, and that the FAA had approved the design. H) FY2008 Iowa DOT Grants - Tharp noted that the 2 grants the airport applied for were approved. They consisted of the North Taxilane rehabilitation, and the fuel system upgrades. Farris asked about the areas they were going to repair and Tharp responded. Horan asked for clarification of what was going to occur with the fuel system. Tharp 5 Airport Commission July 19, 2007 Page 6 of8 responded that it would include an upgraded AvGas dispenser, and a 24 hour Jet Fuel pump. The system also provides a safety measure should mobile equipment have failure. Consider a resolution accepting IDOT Grant for fuel system upgrade and repair - Resolution #A07-15; moved by Staley, seconded by Hartwig; Motion approved 4-0 Rettig Absent. Consider a resolution accepting IDOT Grant for North Taxilane rehabilitation and pavement repairs- Resolution #A07-16; moved by Hartwig, seconded by Farris. Motion approved 4-0, Rettig absent. Hartwig asked for timeline clarification, and Tharp responded that they had planned for the fuel system work to be done yet this year, and the pavement rehab would be a spring project. I) Airport "Operations": Strategic Plan-Implementation; Budget; and Airport Management - Horan noted he is still interested in a planning meeting once the Willow Creek study is done. Tharp noted that Fiscal Year 2007 was complete. He noted the preliminary data showed the airport expenses were about $3,000 over budget, but with the emergency phone line repair that occurred, they were in line. Staley asked about putting together a replacement schedule for HV AC equipment. Hartwig noted that the internal accounts showed some large overages, but that the bottom line was good. Tharp responded that they do need to adjust some individual categories to better reflect expenses. J) FBO Staff Report - Horan noted that Phillip Woolford was unable to attend the meeting K) Subcommittees' Reports - Farris noted they begun the process to order the covered shelter. Farris then gave the Commission a description ofthe shelter. Farris noted that the company being used has provided several shelters for the city. Farris noted that the cost of the shelter leaves some money left over for some other items they have been looking for. Yeager asked if the area is being advertised for use. Farris responded that it is to a small extent, but that it would be more with the future planned trail system in the area. Hartwig commented about removing the last couple of parking stall to make the entrance more viewable and accessible. Horan noted that he'd been taking more pictures of the grading. . L) Commission Members' Reports - Hartwig noted a photo in the weather room from Terry Edmond's glider flying over the Grand Canyon. Hartwig also mentioned the new bike rack out front M) Staff Report - Dulek told the commission about the reception being held for the retiring City Manager, on Friday, July 2ih. Tharp commented on a couple of aliicles in the packet regarding FAA Funding, and that the House Bill was the friendliest to General Aviation. 6 Airport Commission July 19, 2007 Page 7 of8 SET NEXT REGULAR MEETING FOR: August 9,2007, at 7:00 P.M.

Miklo said that he has talked to the applicant about this project, and the applicant now intends to repair the structure, rather than remove it. In order to close out the file, he recommended the Commission consider a motion to deny the application. MOTION: Baker moved to deny a certificate of appropriateness for an application for 919 and 923 East Washington Street. Swaim seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. Weitzel said that the project could now be approved with a certificate of no material effect. Certificates of Appropriateness. 525 Lucas Street. Marlene Tambourine said that she and her husband Arthur and their son Chris are the owners of this house. She said that in May of 2006 there was a fire in the house, and the living room, dining room the porch were destroyed. Marlene Tambourine said that the contractor they used for the project, ServPro, did an inadequate job, and she fired them, Marlene Tambourine said that her husband is a carpenter, and he completed the work. She said she had no knowledge whatsoever nor any notification that this house, after they purchased it, was moved into any kind of historic or conservation area. Marlene Tambourine said the construction made it better than it was, but then her son was served with papers when the house was done. She said that her son, who lives in the house, attended the university. She said she didn't know what to do at this point. Arthur Tambourine said that the contractor was so bad that finally he had to do the job himself. He said the house is 100% better looking than it was before. Marlene Tambourine said they kept the atmosphere of the house. Weitzel said the general repair is not the issue; the type of windows and siding are the concern. Marlene Tambourine contended that they were never notified, although permits were supposedly taken out by the general contractor. She said they therefore assumed that everything was in order. Marlene Tambourine Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 2 said they restored the house the way they thought it should be and added that the house was not in a conservation district when she bought it. Miklo said the City has been sending annual notices to the property owners regarding the districts and their requirements. Marlene Tambourine said she has no record of being notified. Miklo asked about the building permits. Marlene Tambourine said they received a $500 bill for each of two permits. Miklo replied that that is when they would have been notified that this property is in a conservation district and that the project would need to be reviewed by the Commission. Marlene Tambourine said the insurance settlement was already used on the house. She said they didn't touch the parts of the house that were not damaged. Weitzel asked the Tambourines when they purchased the house. Marlene Tambourine said that they bought it four and one-half to five years ago. Miklo said that this area was a conservation district going back to 2000. Marlene said she was at the closing and would have been notified of that at the closing. Miklo said that usually there is a statement by the attorney in the title opinion that discusses the district status. He said there is a question here of a building permit ever being applied for, because the Building Department was not aware of a permit. Weitzel said that the Commission's jurisdiction is to maintain the guidelines, which state that the vinyl windows and siding aren't allowed in this area, without exception. Marlene Tambourine said her contention is that they should have been notified in writing that they moved into a preservation district after they bought the house. She said she was told by the inspector that this district was designated three years ago. Marlene Tambourine said this particular block contains quite a mix of things. Weitzel replied that this is a conservation district and is a stabilization zone. He said that except for the type of windows and siding, what has been done is essentially what the Commission would have asked to be done, rather than something not in character with the house. Weitzel said that the Secretary of the Interior Standards, which are federal guidelines, are strongly against the use of vinyl. He said the Commission's guidelines are based on the federal guidelines. Weitzel stated that the prohibition on vinyl is basically nationwide for historic properties. He said the guidelines are based on the appearance and characteristics of the material. Arthur Tambourine asked if the Commission would prefer he put the old aluminum storm windows and sashes on the house. He said that the gas bill for the house has improved by 40% - that is how bad those windows were. Arthur Tambourine said that the pockets and pulleys on the old windows were so bad. Weitzel said that modern windows are allowed, but they should be of wood or be metal-clad wood. Arthur Tambourine said that there are no wood windows made. He said they are clad, and the only part made of wood is the inside. Weitzel said that the sash is wood. He agreed that they are clad but said the Commission does accept metal clad wood. Weitzel said the Commission doesn't know exactly what happened in terms of notifications. He said, however, that the district was designated before the house was purchased, so there should have been notification by the realtor at that time. Marlene Tambourine stated that this was a private sale; there was no realtor and the seller did not tell them that the property was in a conservation district, but the designation would have to be in the documents. Weitzel said the periodic reminder letters have been sent out for at least three years. Marlene Tambourine asked for copies of the letters and the dates they were sent. Miklo said he would find out. Michaud said there are a number of circumstances here that are unusual. She said these are out-of-state owners whose intention was to restore the property. Michaud said this is a conservation district, not a Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 3 historic preservation district, although the wrong things were done. She said that between the lack of information and their son's not assuming the responsibilities of ownership, there are extenuating circumstances. Weitzel said that would be encompassed by Section 3.6. Brennan suggested deferring the application until the Commission can find out whether a permit was applied for, issued, or denied; and also find out when the letters were sent and the district created. MOTION: Brennan moved to defer consideration of a certificate of appropriateness for an application for 525 Lucas Street until the Commission can get more information about any permit issued, letters sent, and district designation. Baker seconded the motion. Swaim asked if the conservation district reminder letters are routinely sent to the property address and not necessarily to the property owners' address. Miklo responded that the letters are sent to address listed for tax purposes as the owner's address. He said it was likely sent to the 525 Lucas Street address, since the Tambourines' son is listed as a property owner. Miklo said he could check on that. Tambourine said that if her son had received the letter regarding the property being in a conservation district, he may have ignored it or not understood it. Brennan asked if her son was a college student and listed as a co- owner of the house, shouldn't he be capable of understanding importance of the letter. Weitzel said that because some facts are not in evidence, deferral would be an appropriate action. Marlene Tambourine said she would check her documents to see what the real estate papers say. The motion to defer carried on a vote of 6-0. 1125 East Burlinqton Street. Miklo said that the applicant proposes to do some repairs to the porch on this property and also to screen in the porch. He said the application calls for some materials that have not previously been approved. Miklo said Terdalkar provided the Commission with the preservation brief by the National Park Service that talks about when it is appropriate to use substitute materials. Miklo said it seems clear from the brief that this would not be an appropriate application of those materials - that the preferred material, the required material according to the guidelines, would be wood or a previously approved wood substitute, such as cement board, for the siding. Miklo said one of the reasons for this application is to allow the porch to be screened in. He said there are ways that can be done without greatly altering the porch. Miklo said Terdalkar has provided samples of a product that is available on the market that would have a very minimal screening and would not greatly change the fabric of the porch. Miklo said there are also alternative ways it could be done. Miklo said the applicant is also seeking to replace the shingles in the gable with cement board clapboard siding. He pointed out that there are shingles in the gable end, rather than clapboard siding. Miklo said that on this particular house, the application of the shingles on the upper story is a distinct element, and this is a fairly decorative house for this area. He said there is cement board shingle-style siding available on the market, so if that was approved, staff would recommend that the cement board shingle siding be approved there as an alternative to using wood shingles. Miklo said staff generally recommends approval of screening in this porch but doing it in a manner and with materials that are appropriate for historic buildings. Anderson said he is the owner of the building. He introduced the contractor for the project, Slauson, to give details of the project. Slauson said he was unaware that the house was in a historic district until he applied for a permit, at which time he had already done some repair work. Slauson said the plan is to put cement boarding siding on the dormers and cement board soffit. He said he would also like to use the Azek brand crown molding, which is paintable, and also replace some rotten window sills. Regarding the porch, Slauson said he and the owner would like to hear some suggestions. Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 4 He said he would like to add posts, because he has not seen an area screened over four feet wide. Anderson said that an older picture of the house shows round posts, which demonstrates that this porch is not original, although he was uncertain what the original configuration was. Weitzel said that on a long expanse like that, he has seen two frames used, and where the frames divide provides support. He said there isn't an actual column though. Weitzel said there is just one frame next to the other, and some kind of hardware hinges could be used. Slauson asked about adding a screen door; he said there is a four-foot opening, but he can only find a three-foot door. Miklo said that he has seen it done where there is a screened panel on the side and just a thinner member, maybe a two by four turned on its side. Weitzel said it should be something that is not visually as distinctive as the columns. Slauson asked if he could then not move any columns nor add any. Weitzel said the Commission could discuss that, since they were originally round, but he did not think the placement has been changed. Miklo said there are ways to screen the porch without moving the columns. He said he could show Slauson examples of some that were recently done in historic districts. Slauson asked about use of the Azek brand material. Weitzel said the Commission would have to discuss and approve that separate from the rest of the application, but the material has not been approved before. He said the Commission will need to discuss the merits of the material. Weitzel said the Commission is therefore looking at approving the screened porch, the porch floor, balustrades, front stairs, handrail, siding, and the soffits. He said the Commission should break this up into at least two motions to include the materials as well as the proposed changes. Regarding the materials, Miklo said the National Park Service does recommend that substitute materials be allowed at times, but there are some criteria to consider when approving a substitute. He said one criterion is that a substitute be allowed when the original historic material is not available. Miklo said it would be hard to argue that wood crown molding cannot be found. He said in fact it is a material that when painted and treated correctly, will last well over 100 years. Miklo said that the Azek is a fairly new material, so it is unknown how it will behave over time, whether it's compatible in terms of its shrinking and swelling, and how long it will hold paint. He said it therefore does not meet the criteria set forth by the National Park Service, and that is what the Commission's standards are based on. Weitzel said that when the Commission has allowed exceptions in the past, it has usually been when there is some sort of extenuating circumstances or a reason that it needs to be addressed and/or when there has been a lot of research done on the product. Swaim asked if this is the elk product. Weitzel confirmed this and said that Azek is the trim. Swain said the design of the floor with the gaps in it and the fake wood grain showing wouldn't replicate the kind of floor that would have been used at that time the porch was built. Slauson asked about the Tendura brand mentioned by Terdalkar. Miklo said that it comes in a tongue and groove and said that it does drain. Weitzel said that it is a composite sawdust plastic material sort of like Tyvek. Miklo said that it does drain, but the issue of drainage would be helped by having a slight pitch. Weitzel said that a traditional wood floor will swell up when it gets wet and be sort of impermeable, but the water then runs off - it sheets off because of the slopes. He said that even one-quarter inch would be enough of a slope. Weitzel said that the tendura is already a pre-roughened material. He said that one can put sand in a non-stick paint, if one wants painted wood. Weitzel added that a flat paint does better than a high-gloss. Baker said she did not feel th!3 Commission knows enough about the elk product to approve its use as a substitute material. Michaud said that if wood is available, then the Commission is supposed to approve wood, Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 5 Miklo said that, excluding the last sentence, the last three paragraphs of the staff report include wording regarding the guidelines that could be used to draft a motion. He said the motion could include approval of the screen subject to staff approval of the screen design. MOTION: Swaim moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 1125 East Burlington Street to repair the soffits and replace the deteriorated boards with new wood or fiber cement board if it matches the existing bead board soffit in appearance, use wood or paintable fiberglass columns and painted wood balustrade and railings with simple 1.5 to 2-inch wide square spindles and a minimum 2-inch wide top and bottom rail, use narrow shake shingles or fiber cement board shingle siding (instead of clapboard siding proposed in the application) for the dormers, deteriorated wood trim and moldings may be replaced with new wood material to match the dimensions and design of the existing, flat wood trim may be replaced with fiber cement material to match the dimensions of the existing, skirting should be same as the original or it may be replaced with a simple skirting that is made with slats fastened on the back of a 3 to 6-inch wood frame in a vertical or lattice pattern located between the porch piers; subject to the screen porch design being subject to staff approval. Anderson said that this would meet his needs. Slauson asked if he could mix wood with cement board, if he could use wood crown mold and then have cement board siding. Weitzel replied that as long as the soffit is done in sort of a bead mold, it would be acceptable; otherwise it should be a product that replicates the bead mold. He said that product is readily available. Slauson asked if he would need a whole new plan for the porch and need to come back before the Commission. Weitzel said the motion allows him the latitude to work with staff to draw up a plan. Trimble seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 6-0. 1123 East Colleqe Street. Miklo said that the existing screened porch on this house is not historic but was built in the 1980s on the southeast side of the house. He showed the original historic house and the addition to the house. Miklo said the proposal is to remove the screened porch and replace it with a two-story addition. He said that because it is not a historic porch, staff feels that adding living space in that area would comply with the guidelines. Miklo said there are some details that staff has some questions about, referring to the plan. He said that one of the issues is that the 1980s addition has casement windows that are not in character with the original historic windows on the house. Miklo showed one elevation that is not going to change greatly in the revised plan but one area that will. He said the Commission will have to judge whether it would be better to match the windows on the south elevation or match the windows on the historic sides of the house. Miklo said that on the other side of the house, the applicant shows the use of windows that match the historic double hung windows, so it would be consistent on that side. He said there is a question as to whether it would be better to do two large windows or a set of three windows in this area. Miklo said the applicant would like to get a lot of light into the room. Lange, the contractor for this project, said that would be on the east side that the homeowners would prefer to have more windows. Miklo said the question would be whether to use the two double hung windows or a gang of three. He said that the proportions of these windows are quite large compared to the other historic windows on the house. Miklo said this is therefore a judgment call for the Commission to make, although it may be preferable to have windows that are more in scale with the gang windows elsewhere on the house, versus the two large windows. Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 6 Miklo said there are also changes in the roof design. He said that generally this application complies with the guidelines, with a decision required by the Commission regarding the window patterns on the south and east sides. Weitzel asked if the setback requirements would be met. Miklo said this is replacing something that is already there. Weitzel said that current setback requirements would prevent the current porch from being built there today. Miklo said the difficulty with this lot brings up the question as to whether it would be better to put it to the side as proposed, or to elongate the house, which would also be problematic as the house has already been elongated somewhat. Lange stated that there are existing cross-footings on the porch as well as on the addition. He said that he would be reusing the same footprint. Peskin, the owner of the property, said that the reason for the addition is that there is only one bathroom upstairs. She said her family needs an additional bathroom, and the additional space will give enough interior room to put in a second bathroom. Regarding what kind of windows to put in the addition and whether they should match what is there or the older historic windows, Swaim stated that if the owners ever change the set of four windows back to the way the original windows would have been, they would then be left with still odd windows in the addition. She said that if the old-style windows were put in the addition, there would only be the set of peculiar ones left to replace at some point. Lange said there are casement windows on the existing east elevation. He said he would remove those and reuse them on the south so that everything on the south would match and then use new double hung windows on the east and the north to tie in more with the original structure. Weitzel said he is a little concerned with the placement of some of the windows and suggested that perhaps a skylight on the back elevation would be a way to bring light in without having so many windows on the side. Peskin said that she would like to keep the windows that face east. Weitzel said that he was more concerned with the front elevation where the windows project out and don't really match the fenestration on the rest of the front fac;ade. He said that is his main concern, especially the placement of the large, transom windows and the vertical windows so close to the edge of a room. Weitzel said that in looking at the other side of the house, that window is not quite as far into the corner, and that kind of spacing might be more appropriate. He said that because it sticks out, it becomes part of the front fa<;ade of the house. Lange stated that the floor plans show that the north wall would be the most opportune place for a bed. He said the transom window is not necessary, but having the windows on both sides is what he is aiming for. Weitzel said that even a few inches would make a difference in that it would appear a little less as being pushed right up against the corner board. Swaim suggested that it be in line with the door. Weitzel said that lining it up with the door would probably help. He said that the transom is his main problem. Swaim said that some line up horizontally. Weitzel said that would be a concern as well, in that they all line up except for the new set. Swaim asked what would happen with the interior if the two were dropped down somewhat to line up. Lange said that would probably be fine. Weitzel said that he didn't have much of a problem with the rear fa<;ade. He said it is a good point that if eventually the windows in the back are changed on the new addition to become double hungs, should there be double hungs in the new addition or should they just be matched up as they are right now to bring harmony to the back elevation. Weitzel said that the addition is clearly a modern addition, but it has a sort of prairie feel to it. Swaim said that that decision could probably go either way. Weitzel said the Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 7 Commission is clearly not dealing with an old building on the rear elevation. Swaim said that without those windows, it might look almost like a foursquare. Swaim said that if one of the questions is the rear view, and the porch becomes a two-story addition, the windows on the new addition could either match the existing addition or could match the old ones. She felt that it could be argued either way. Regarding the side, Weitzel asked what members thought about the side windows and the spacing on the east elevation. He said there are two configurations, one with the double windows and one with the triple window. Lange said that the owner would prefer the triple window. Michaud said that actually looks better. Weitzel said that the window size is much more in scale with the rest of the house. Ponto asked how the space between those windows would look if it was the same space as the existing windows on that same elevation on the bays. Weitzel said he likes the idea that the trim would match the other windows on that floor. He said that one could go either way with that, but if it did match, it would have to match exactly. Ponto said he thought that might be one way to tie it together. Weitzel said that the foundation isn't changing, so the Commission would not need to specify a material there. Swaim said the issue then concerns the windows on the east elevation of the addition. Weitzel said the Commission is discussing the roofline and windows, mostly, for the addition. MOTION: Michaud moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for an application for 1123 East College Street, with the east elevation to have narrower spacing between the three-window option to match the original bay, with the south elevation as proposed, and with a modification to remove or replace the transom window on the north elevation with a double hung window. Weitzel said he thought it could be either a double hung or single window there, but part of the issue is placement. Swaim said the Commission had suggested dropping the top of those two windows and moving them in just slightly to the right so that it lined up with the door. Trimble asked how much light would come in from the north side if the extra transom window is removed. Weitzel said that up that far into the eaves on the north side and partially blocked from the addition, it would not get much direct light anyway. Swaim questioned trying to match up one thing with this part of the floor plan. She said there is a vertical window, a horizontal window, and then another vertical. Lange said that the existing house is not shown on the plan, but it actually comes out and over. He said that from the elevation, one wouldn't see the windows. Weitzel said that he was fine with the two windows. Miklo suggested qualifying the motion to say that the application in other regards will comply with the guidelines, as no information has been provided regarding the materials for the doors. AMENDMENT TO THE MAIN MOTION: Michaud amended the motion to state that a transom window would not be acceptable, because it would conflict with the style of the house, and to require that the application in other regards will comply with the guidelines, as no information has been provided regarding the materials. Ponto seconded the amended motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 830 Clark Street. Miklo stated that this application is to demolish an existing non-historic garage and replace it with a somewhat larger garage. He said that the present garage shows evidence of damage to the structure. Miklo said the application is to replace the current structure with a garage of 24 feet by 30 feet. He said that overall, staff is satisfied with the concept but is concerned about the size of the garage Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 8 and recommends that it be slightly smaller. Miklo said that 24 by 24 or 24 by 26 would be more than adequate to provide for two cars, storage area, and the stairway to the second floor. He said the applicant has already agreed to use all double hung windows rather than a variety of styles of windows. Miklo said that staff recommends that the pitch of the roof be somewhat less so that it does not overpower the house on the site. Dianne Day, one of the owners of the house, said they picked this plan because the pitch of the roof matched the roof of the house. She stated that they want to set the garage farther back from the alley by at least three feet so that there is enough turning radius. Dianne Day said that because there is no inside access to the house's attic, they wanted to have an interior stairway in the garage, which adds a minimum of three feet to the existing garage. She said that ideally, they would like to have a length of 30 feet to give room to walk around in the garage. Dianne Day said that there would still be twelve feet between the end of the garage and the house. She said that she could do a 10:12 pitch, which would still look the same but lower the height of the garage. Dianne Day said that she would like to keep the 24-foot width, mainly because that is needed to house two cars. Weitzel asked if it would be possible to drop the eave line so that one could bring the height down without changing the pitch. He said that a small change in pitch won't be that noticeable. Weitzel said that it should be subordinate to the main house. Dianne Day said that it would still be three feet lower than the existing house. Dianne Day said she would prefer to keep the width if she had to choose between the width and the height. She added that lowering the pitch would get it in between the two existing peaks on the house, and it's directly behind the house so that from the street one only sees a little bit of the garage from one side. Dianne Day said it was her understanding that one could have a 12 x 12 outbuilding. She said the yard would look better to have more space in the garage instead of another outbuilding. Regarding the windows, Dianne Day said that the little square windows on the top came from an old garage. She said that on the north side, there were the three little windows, and those were from the original garage and have the neat old glass in them. Day said they wanted to keep all of those windows. She said that in the front, the window by the door is actually an old kitchen window. Day said that on the other side, those two square windows are the same size as the kitchen and are from an old bedroom. She said that is why the windows are different, because they were trying to use what they had. She said that if the Commission disagrees with the windows, she would have to buy all new windows for the lower level so that they will be the same. Weitzel asked if the owners would prefer to have the garage be narrower or shorter. Dianne Day said that they wanted a width of 24 feet but could go with a shorter garage if they had to. Mr. Day said that they want to be able to have double doors, and a narrower garage would force them to change to single doors. Ponto suggested that they could have two pedestrian doors instead of one, with an additional door on the side, for access to the garage. Weitzel said the site plan shows that the house is narrower than the garage by a couple of feet, but he did not know how much one could tell that from the street. He said that the depth may be more of an issue. Weitzel said that one can have an outbuilding of up to 144 square feet, however it can be configured. Dianne Day said they were open to suggestions. Weitzel said he would defer to staff about the square footage requirements for a lot this size and the house size compared to it, but it should be subordinate to the main structure. He said that his concerns would be height and the overall mass. Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 9 Trimble said that one of the reasons it looks so wide is because the proposed garage is actually going beyond the house on one side. Dianne Day said that right now they have the garage located there only because the sidewalk from the house goes down to the door in the existing garage, so it's a little bit to one side. She said they could shift it over about three feet, because they need a new foundation anyway, and then one would not see anything from the street. Weitzel asked the Days if they were amenable to moving the garage more to center of the lot. Dianne Day said that they have to dig up the whole slab anyway, so that would be fine with them. Miklo said the garage is so far back from the street anyway, that it shouldn't be much of an issue. Weitzel said the Commission would need to formulate a motion regarding the width, depth, height, roof pitch, and placement of the windows. Mr. Day asked if the demolition would be acceptable. Weitzel said that it is a non-historic building, so it is not something the Commission would consider. MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for 830 Clark Street, as proposed, with the following stipulations: the pitch of the roof to be changed to 10:12 or shallower and with the dimensions to be no more than 24 feet wide by 28 feet long, an optional second pedestrian door, the use of wood or fiber cement board material, and with the option for placement of the garage as drawn or the option of moving it more centrally on the lot so that it would be more hidden behind the house. Swaim seconded the motion. Ponto said he was okay in this unique circumstance with the reuse of the windows. Weitzel said he is concerned, not necessarily about the reuse of the windows, but with the placement of the windows - that he would like to see them balanced and part of a unified whole. He said he did not know how that would be accomplished with the number and sizes of the windows. Dianne Day said that the two little windows would be upstairs. Weitzel said that would be okay. Dianne Day said they were putting the old kitchen window in the corner to give light to the stairway. Weitzel said that was probably okay also. He said the drawing shows the windows all in one unit and asked if they could be separated a little more. Dianne Day said that they come all in one unit. Miklo asked if it would be possible to use a new, one set of windows to match those on the other side. He said that would at least give some proportion and scale relating to the other window. Weitzel said that a band of three repeated on the other side would be acceptable. Miklo said the existing location of the windows is fairly low, and the standard would have been to have them lined up with the top of the door. Mr. Day said he just drew them the way they were on the old garage. AMENDMENT TO THE MAIN MOTION: Ponto amended the motion so that on the south elevation, the double windows are to be replaced by a three-window set to match what is proposed for the north and so that on both the north and south elevations the three-window sets be moved up so that the tops are in line with the tops of the pedestrian doors. Swaim seconded the motion. Weitzel asked if the band of three windows consists of awning windows or regular windows. Mr. Day said they have never opened those windows. Weitzel said he would assume then that they are fixed sash windows. He said that normally the Commission disallows awning windows, because when they are open they are very clearly awning windows and a very modern thing. Miklo said it wouldn't be unusual for them to swing in on a garage. Weitzel said that if they are awning windows, they should be mounted to open inward. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 10 431 Brown Street. Miklo said the proposal is to replace two basement windows, one with a glass block window that would be deeper than the existing. He said that the windows are not highly visible because of the fence. Miklo said the proposal to put in an egress window meets the guidelines. He said that the glass block window is typically not a material that would have been found on a house of this vintage, but because it is well-screened from the street, staff would leave that as a judgment call for the Commission to make. Miklo added that staff recommends that rather than widening this opening to get the additional light by going down. Deutelbaum, one of the owners of the house, said she would answer any questions the Commission might have. She said that this is a history of glass blocks, and they were used to provide light to basements in the early 1800s. Deutelbaum said the concern is that if one puts in just regular glass, rather than glass blocks, moisture will creep up in there and there will be mold, but glass blocks are sealed and mortared into the frame. Weitzel pointed out that the mortar can also mildew. Weitzel said the Commission should consider whether the glass block is acceptable for whatever reason. He agreed that the material is quite old and has a long history, but in this style of house and for the time period it was built, it was probably never used for that application. Ponto said that the window is screened in now, but a future owner may take down the screening, as it is not a permanent screen. Deutelbaum said she also planned to plant flowers or a low bush in front of the window. Weitzel agreed that it should be within the original width of that window, if the Commission allows the change. He said the Commission has allowed egress windows that match in the past. Brennan said that an older version of the guidelines had a provision that took visibility from the street into account, but that was deleted from the current guidelines. He stated that last year a couple on Summit Street was denied a kitchen window that was visible only to a neighbor standing in the neighbor's yard. Brennan said that he personally did not have a problem with the block, but the Commission would need a good rationale to justify its approval. Miklo said the difference between this and the one on Summit Street is that the window on Summit Street was on the first floor and was pretty visible. Brennan disagreed. He added that the~e is no permit required to remove a fence; therefore nothing guarantees the lack of visibility. Brennan said he is not opposed to this but given what has been done before and what the guidelines say, there would need to be a strong rationale to allow this. Regarding the potential of mold and mildew migrating up, Swaim said that the glass block would still be set in some kind of wooden frame. Morris, co-owner of the property, said that it would be mortared in. Weitzel said that the contractor usually takes out the window, lays mortar inside the wood frame, and places the blocks in there. He agreed that if the frame rots, the whole thing would fall apart, and mortar on wood is never really a great idea. Weitzel said that he is not crazy about the material aesthetically, and Brennan has a good point that the Commission has to be careful when saying that things aren't visible. Weitzel said the Commission has disallowed other things because the guidelines take a total view of the house. He pointed out that this is a historic district as well. Swaim asked if there are any other options, such as a translucent material. Weitzel said there is a film one can buy to put over a window. Burford said that there is some kind of frosted glass or spider glass. Michaud said that Marv's has different styles of that. Deutelbaum said that they plan to use the room for a steam shower, so it's not just the visibility but also the concern with what will happen on the inside of the house. Weitzel said that the Board of Adjustment Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 11 has determined that the Commission cannot take the use of the building into account, so he was reticent to get into discussions about use. Deutelbaum said the idea of redoing the basement came about, because there is only one bathroom in the house with only a claw foot tub and no shower. She said the idea was to put in a nice steam shower, but there would need to be some light coming in. Weitzel said there have been other cases regarding bathrooms in which the Commission didn't allow windows to be changed, taken out, or blocked in, because of a shower. Morris pointed out that they have done a lot of work on this house over the years and won a preservation award for the remodeling in the back. She said they have been here since 1980 and have really made an effort on their house and the whole neighborhood. Morris said they would like to continue to be good neighbors and make the area very beautiful. Weitzel said the Commission appreciates that, and the awards show that the Commission does appreciate the owners' efforts. Regarding consistency, Morris stated that the way that things have been designed in the house has been to pick up these squares - the porch in the back has little squares and the old windows have little squares that they replicated in the back. She said they thought the square glass block would be a nice complement to that. Regarding the fence that screens the windows, Miklo pointed out that this is a corner lot without a lot of privacy. He said there would be a real incentive for whoever owns this house to keep the fence there, especially if there is an egress-window bedroom space being added to that side. MOTION: Swaim moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for the application for 431 Brown Street, as proposed, with the width of the basement window where the glass block window would be used to be maintained as is, and if it needs to be enlarged, that it be done by height. Michaud seconded the motion. Weitzel said that he is reticent regarding the alternate material for the window. He said he would gladly approve the egress window, but he had trouble with the glass block. Weitzel said he would have to vote no on this. Trimble said she was concerned that if the glass block is used that it will ruin the consistency around the base of the house. Morris said there isn't really consistency around the base in so far as the requirement for the egress. She stated that the egress requirement trumps the historic preservation requirement. Ponto said there is a good argument that this will always be screened, but screening isn't really the issue; the issue is the material. He said he is not yet convinced that this would be an acceptable alternate material. Brennan said that the absence of a provIsion in the current guidelines to allow the consideration of visibility, which the Commission used to have available, coupled with the concern about the material would cause him to vote against this. He said he had no problem with the egress window. Ponto asked if there are other options that might be explored regarding the concerns about water and mold. He asked if there were a way to do something on the interior to seal the window but keep it looking the same from the exterior. Ponto said the steam will start rotting out that wood frame. Deutelbaum said that alternatively, they could use a vinyl framed window that would be okay for moisture resistance but not as good as glass block, because it has a frame. Weitzel said that the Commission would probably allow fiberglass but not vinyl, which would also mildew. Miklo said that, regarding the Board of Adjustment's direction to the Commission regarding consideration of use, he thought the direction dealt with consideration of zoning and density. He said this is a little different in terms of wanting to modernize a house. Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 12 Deutelbaum said that the only noticeable change will just be thicker glass, but it will be the same shape. Ponto said that one would see all of the mortar lines. Swaim said that the glass block is probably less likely to be replaced by a future owner, because it would be a more complicated process. The motion failed on a vote of 0-7. Weitzel said the Commission could pass the egress window with no problem. He said the options for the glass would be something in that existing frame that is translucent. Miklo said the Commission might consider some options such as a fiberglass frame or a wood, metal-clad frame. Weitzel said that fiberglass would be a good frame here. He said that it is paintable and would be rot resistant. Weitzel said that replacing the glass would not require a permit, but if the owners want to replace the window, then a fiberglass frame would be acceptable. MOTION: Ponto moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for 431 Brown Street to approve the egress window, as proposed; and to approve an option keeping the other windows as it is; of replacement of the other window with a fiberglass frame if desired; and an option of putting in translucent glass or frosted glass, as long as it is historically compatible with the building; with the width and height of the window to be retained if a fiberglass frame is used. Trimble seconded the motion. Deutelbaum said that staff's suggestion was to keep the width of the window, but they would like a bigger window at least vertically to get more light. Weitzel said that usually when people change windows it's because of a rotting situation, not just a wholesale replacement. Michaud said that one of the guidelines discusses not changing something that can't be changed back. She said it would be very difficult to change glass block back. Deutelbaum said that it is a question of getting more light in this very dark corner of the basement. Weitzel pointed out that it is a basement. He said there are lots of options for indirect lighting in interior situations. Burford said there is a screened glass that is similar to the rice paper that will allow light to pass through. Weitzel said that the Commission has to allow an egress window if it's required but does have design considerations over that. He said that one of the design considerations is how it looks. Weitzel said for other window replacements, the Commission almost only deals with window replacements if the windows are rotting or if there is some other reason they have to come out. He said the Commission doesn't usually allow window replacement for a design change on the house. Weitzel said the Commission should be able to work in things that will be compatible with what the owners want to do and still compromise with the change being allowed. He said that the fiberglass itself is an exception and is being allowed because it is related to moisture. Weitzel said that in that sense, the Commission is trying to accommodate the owners. He said the Commission certainly wants people to enjoy their homes but has to look at the guidelines and apply them fairly. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. 1122 East Colleqe Street. Miklo said that this application is to add a window on the east side of the house. He said staff's concern is the symmetry of the house and that the proposed location of the window would be somewhat unusual in relationship to the roof structure. Weitzel pointed out the location at which the staff report suggests an alternative. Historic Preservation Commission July 12, 2007 Page 13 Shelley McCafferty, the owners' representative, said that the Commission should look at the windows with regard to the style and precedent for this. She said that the house is quirkily styled as concerns the symmetry and gambrel stuck on the front. McCafferty stated that the house is really eclectic as there is a lot of stylistic precedence going on with the peaked arch, the Tudor and gothic thing going on, the gambrel, and the classic elements. She said that the basic form of the house itself is American foursquare. McCafferty said that relative to what one would stylistically expect for a four-square, the window pattern she is proposing is actually very common, with two smaller windows in back in the kitchen. She showed photographs of four houses that were mostly likely done all by the same builder - one in West Branch that is identical to 1122 East College and two others in Iowa City. McCafferty said that the location of the bracket is not ideal relative to the window, but given one of the other houses built by the same builder, this is not that far out of character, given the style of the house. McCafferty said that one other point is that one will never see that perfect symmetry; this will always be seen at an angle. She said this therefore would not stick out as something that is unusual. McCafferty said that the proposal would replace two existing windows, both of which are replacement windows right now. She said they would be replaced probably with Colby or Lincoln windows, which seem to be similar to what is there. McCafferty said that they will be all wood windows to match as closely as possible what is there. She said that there will be three new windows put into the kitchen. McCafferty said that the trim and mullions between the two windows on the east side will match existing. Weitzel said this is definitely a Queen Anne eclectic house with classical and colonial elements. Ponto said that he was struck by the house on Van Buren that is so similar to this. MOTION: Brennan moved to approve a certificate of appropriateness for 1122 East College Street, as submitted. Swaim seconded the motion. The motion carried on a vote of 7-0. Minutes for June 28. 2007. The consensus of the Commission was to defer consideration of the June 28th meeting minutes to the next meeting.

Crane seconded. The motion passed 7:0. Shaw abstained. PUBLIC COMMENT OF ITEMS NOT ON THE AGENDA None STAFF/COMMISSION COMMENT Hightshoe said she passed out the approved FY08 action plan to the Commission. Anthony said that in May of this year, city council approved the hiring of a consultant to conduct a housing study. The consultant's final report should be available in September. Shaw asked if the Commission would be able to see it. Anthony said once the final report comes out, Commission members will get a copy. Anthony said there is a subcommittee to guide the consultant. Anthony is on that subcommittee. NEW BUSINESS - REVIEW OF ALLOCATION PROCESS/CREATION OF SUBCOMMITTEE Anthony said that a couple years ago, HCDC decided that the allocation process needed some streamlining. A subcommittee was formed. He said that the recommendations were used for this past allocation process. Anthony said that based on recommendations of the subcommittee, there are now different applications for each category (Le. housing, public facilities, etc). Anthony said HCDC discussed if each year there should be specific funding goals. That has not been followed through. Anthony said that HCDC feels there should be another subcommittee to do this. Crane asked if that meant making the questions more concise than this past year. Hightshoe said what it means is defining clearly what is considered a high priority, which may mean moving some previously identified high needs to medium, low or no priority and funding what is considered high that year. Hightshoe stated that outcome performance measures are increasingly more important to HUD and that how we report data and organize it in CITY STEPs in changing and this would be a good time to coordinate both HUD requirements and discuss priority funding and what will be funded. Richman said that when the subcommittee was first proposed, the purpose was to make the HCDC more proactive, as opposed to reactive. He said that a subcommittee could work with the community to decide on goals and projects that would meet certain priorities. Shaw asked if a staff person could participate in a subcommittee. Hightshoe said yes. Shaw said that the person that the city hired to evaluate the community needs "derailed" what the subcommittee's plans were. Anthony asked if HCDC is required to fund exactly what is covered under our priorities such as Housing and Community Development Commission July 19, 2007 - 6:30 PM Page 2 48% housing, 21 % public facilities, etc. Hightshoe stated this is a goal, but we don't have to be exact. That being said, over the course of the 5 year plan the percentages should hopefully fall to how we hoped to spend the funds. If not, the plan can be changed to reflect current needs. The City has tried to set up those percentages to guide each year's funding so that at the end of the 5-year plan we are close to our goals, however there is room within the plan to at times fund one category more than the other as long it is allowed under the program rules. Anthony asked HCDC's thoughts on creating a subcommittee. Shaw said it was a good idea. Anthony said he'd be on the subcommittee. Shaw encouraged new HCDC members to be on the subcommittee in order to provide more context and offer new input into what the HCDC is doing. Shaw said he'd gladly give up his seat. Walker noted that they don't know who the new members will be. Shaw said that maybe the subcommittee can just reserve a slot then. Douglas said he'd be willing to serve. Douglas asked how many times the subcommittee would meet. Anthony said 3 or 4 times. Shaw asked about the staff person. Hightshoe said a staff person will show up. Hart volunteered. The committee will be Hart, Douglas and Anthony. OLD BUSINESS - DISCUSS NATIONAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT WEEK CELEBRATION Hightshoe said that the celebration is on August 2nd, 2007 at 4 PM at the United Action for Youth - Youth Center. Hightshoe said the youth center was a CDBG project. The city council is considering funding La Reyna and so they might be catering the event with chips and quesadillas. Hightshoe mentioned the names of the award recipients. She said the award ceremony starts at 5 PM. Anthony said there might be music before the award ceremony. Shaw said there are a couple of musicians still in town that the school district is using to provide summer lessons. Shaw wasn't sure who the contact person was but if need be, he could find out and inquire whether the musicians might play at the event. Hightshoe encouraged all members to attend and announced that Charlotte Walker would receive a certificate of appreciation for serving on HCDC. Walker decided not to reapply for the commission. MONITORING REPORTS City of Iowa City - Economic Development Fund (Hart) Hart said she was out of town and requested a deferment. Anthony said yes. Hightshoe said she had some updates. She said there was 337,000 dollars in the fund. As of last November, they met with commercial lenders and since then have been getting a steady supply of applicants. Hightshoe said the committee just funded Discerning Eye and La Reyna will be up for consideration this month. Hightshoe said that the money will probably be gone by the time it goes to renew for 2009 funds. Richman asked about Discerning Eye. He asked about their economic expansion. Hightshoe said that CDBG funds can be used for job creation or retention. She said that they received funds for the retention of an optician. That person qualified as a low to moderate income person and the position does not require any further qualifications than a high school diploma. Hightshoe said La Reyna is creating new positions. Shaw asked if she's received any applicants from start-ups. Hightshoe said yes, but start-ups are risky. She said that they're more likely to fund existing businesses. Hightshoe said loans are partially secured when able. Two loans have been unsecured. Walker noted that the agenda for the July 24th meeting said La Reyna is loaned without security. Hightshoe said a mortgage will be placed on the property through La Reyna and will put a blanket UCC statement for the business. Crane said a UCC statement is a lien against business assets and whoever is in the first position has the rights to the assets, should they be liquidated. Crane said that with restaurants there is usually a lack of collateral. Hightshoe stated she is making a summary of the ED funds used to date and will place it in the next HCDC packet. Four Oaks - New Construction (Crane) Crane asked if he could provide updates next time. Anthony said yes. Hightshoe said they're almost finished with construction. Its up, its framed, and they're just working on final plumbing. She said it's more than half complete. She said it should be ready soon. Housing and Community Development Commission July 19, 2007 - 6:30 PM Page 3 Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity (McMurray) McMurray said she talked to Mark Patton. They purchased six lots a month ago and spent 168,000 dollars. She said that for the 2008 fiscal year, they put an offer for a lot on I street. They're still waiting to hear back. The Housing Fellowship - FY06 Affordable Rental & Homeownership (Anthony) Anthony said that for The Housing Fellowship, they got 175,000 dollars in FY06 for affordable rental and 181,000 in FY06 for homeownership. He said that they haven't spent anything of the affordable rental money. For the homeownership, Anthony said, they have bought two lots. He said that houses have been built on both lots. They have been able to get monies from two sources. The families buying these houses would get money from these two sources. Anthony said they are going to close on a third lot and buy tomorrow, if all goes well, they will have spent all of the 181,000 dollars. Hightshoe said they will actually have about 41,000 dollars left over. Shaw asked why they haven't spent anything on the affordable rental. Anthony said he thinks they're trying to save money for a larger project. Anthony noted they have five years to spend it. Johnson County Permanent Supportive Housing LP - FY06 Affordable Rental (Douglas) Douglas said that the people who are putting this project together felt that there was a need for affordable rental housing for people with mental disabilities. The county leased them land for 50 years. Most of the money for this project came from the sale of low income housing tax credits. They also got 275,000 dollars from State HOME funds. Douglas said the first tenants will be coming in August. Douglas said it sounds like a good set up. They've drawn 260,000 dollars of the 275,000 dollars. City of Iowa City - Housing Rehabilitation (DeFrance) Hightshoe said she'd have the rehabilitation department submit a memo for the next meeting. ADJOURNMENT Shaw moved to adjourn the meeting. Crane seconded. The motion passed 8:0 The meeting was adjourned at 7:25 PM. s/pcd/minslhcdc/200717 -19-07 ,doc Commission Housing & Community Development Attendance Record 2007 Term Name Expires 01/18 2/21 2/22 3/8 3/22 4/19 7/19 Jerry Anthony 09/01/08 OlE X X X X X X Steve Crane 09/01/09 X X X X X X X Marcy De France 09/01/09 X X X X X OlE OlE Andy Doue;las 09/01/08 X OlE OlE X X X X Holly Jane Hart 09/01/07 X X X X X X X Rebecca McMurray 09/01/08 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- X Thomas Niblock 09/01/08 X OlE OlE OlE X X -- -- Brian Richman 09/01/07 X OlE X X X X X Michael Shaw 09/01/09 OlE OlE OlE OlE OlE OlE X Charlotte Walker 09/01/07 -- -- X X X X X X Key: X = Present o = Absent OlE = AbsentnExcused NM = No Meeting Not a Member MINUTES IOWA CITY HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION TUESDAY, July 24, 2007 LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM, CITY HALL DRAFT c;] Members Present: Florence Ejiwale, Sara Baird, Kate Karacay, Beverly Witwer, Martha Lubaroff and Scott King.

HARVAT HALL - CITY HALL Preliminary c;J MEMBERS PRESENT: Charlie Eastham, Wally Plahutnik, Dean Shannon, Beth Koppes MEMBER EXCUSED: Bob Brooks, Ann Freerks, Terry Smith STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo, Karen Howard, Sara Greenwood OTHERS PRESENT: Larry Schnittjer CALL TO ORDER: Eastham called the meeting to order at 7:30 pm. Public Discussion of Anv Item Not on the Aqenda No discussion. Annexation/Rezoninq Item ANN07-00002/REZ07-00010 discussion of an application submitted by St. Patrick's Church of Iowa City for an annexation and rezoning from County Residential (R) zone to Low Density Single-Family (RS-5) zone for approximately 14-acres of property located at 4740 Lower West Branch Road SE. Miklo announced that Ann Freerks had recused herself from discussion of this item because she is a member of the St. Patrick parish. Howard said the property that was being sold to St. Patrick's Church by the Miller family surrounded a proposed public square that was being built by the City of Iowa City as part of the reconstruction project for lower West Branch Road. The entire parcel of land would need to be annexed at the same time. The property for the public square would be zoned P-1 and the property for the church would be zoned RS-5. When the City received an application for an annexation request, Staff considered three questions: 1 Did the area under consideration fall within the adopted long range planning boundary? The land being requested for annexation does fall within the adopted long-range planning boundary for Iowa City and abuts property already within City limits. 2. Will development in the area proposed for annexation fulfill an identified need without imposing an undue burden on the City? The Church had identified the need for a new church and related facilities and found this site to be suitable for their needs. City services infrastructure were available for extension to this site; the City found it suitable for urban development. 3. Is control of the development in the City's best interest? There is a market for residential development in this area. Annexation would allow for integration of the proposed church into future neighborhoods planned for this area in a manner that would ensure efficient provision of public services and adequate traffic circulation. The property is currently zoned County Residential - R. Rezoning this property to RS-5, Low Density Single Family Residential, as requested by the applicant would allow single family dwellings as well as religious/private group assembly uses as a special exception. The City acknowledged that churches were an anticipated part of residential neighborhoods and that such large uses would require special consideration to ensure that they were developed in a manner compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and with the surrounding existing and future residential neighborhoods located in the area. Planning and Zoning Commission June 21,2007 Page 2 This property is located in the Northeast District. The public square is intended to be a focal point for the surrounding neighborhoods in the area; it was an important feature to the citizens who were involved in the Northeast District planning process. They did not want just a series of unrelated and unconnected subdivisions but wanted a way to integrate the neighborhoods together and create neighborhood focal point. Higher density multi-family residential buildings were planned for the area immediately abutting the public square transitioning into lower density residential neighborhoods going further south and further north. The Northeast District Plan illustrates a grid-like street pattern with the public square as the neighborhood focal point. City Staff was working with the Church to determine an acceptable street pattern that would meet the needs of the church and also ensure pedestrian and vehicular access to the square and provide efficient traffic circulation for the surrounding east and west neighborhoods. City Staff were working to ensure good access to the site itself for the church and for the projected traffic flow as the church grew. Howard said Staff felt that the Church met all the criteria for annexation and that RS-5 zoning was appropriate provided that conditions were established to ensure compliance with the Northeast District Plan. Both the Church and the City were working with consultants to determine what those conditions would be and how the NE District Plan might be modified to accommodate such a large institutional use; Staff recommended deferral of this item to the July 12, 2007 meeting to allow the Church and their consultant additional time work on their site planning process. Eastham asked Staff to discuss neighborhood trail proposals for south of the major road and north of the annexation. Could the annexation/rezoning be integrated in to the neighborhood trail system? Howard said there were some planned trail systems being built along the existing stream corridors; to the north Staff didn't know exactly where the trails would be located as the streets were not yet platted. Miklo said a public park in the Lindemann subdivision would be turned over to the City with anticipation that it would extend up to Lower West Branch Road as the area was annexed and developed. A second greenway in located east of Stone Bridge Estates was private with a public access over it. The City was planning an 8- foot sidewalk on one side of Lower West Branch road which would serve as the trail system/accommodate pedestrian traffic flow to the square. Eastham asked if there had been discussion with the applicant as to what was planned for the parcel of land located west of the public square. Miklo said in early discussions Staff had indicated that an appropriate use of the area would be multi-family or townhouses or perhaps a location for a rectory. The area to the east of the public square was a low spot and only 78-feet wide; it was questionable if it would even be developable unless it was combined with land to the east. Miklo said what happened with the actual farm property itself would also influence an appropriate use of that narrow strip of land - combining the piece with the farmstead might be the best alternative. Public discussion was opened. Larrv Schnittier, MMS Consultants, said they were working with the applicant. He was there to answer any questions. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Plahutnik made a motion to defer ANN07-00002/REZ07-00010 to 7/12/07. Koppes seconded. Motion approved by a vote of 4-0 (Smith, Brooks absent; Freerks recused) Consideration of the June 7. 2007 meetinq minutes Motion: Koppes made a motion to approve the minutes as typed and corrected.

HARVAT HALL - CITY HALL PRELIMINARY ~ MEMBERS PRESENT: Dean Shannon, Elizabeth Koppes, Ann Freerks, Charlie Eastham, Terry Smith MEMBERS EXCUSED: Bob Brooks, Wally Plahutnik STAFF PRESENT: Bob Miklo, Karen Howard, Adam Ralston, Sara Greenwood OTHERS PRESENT: Karl Schmidt RECOMMENDATIONS TO COUNCIL (become effective onlv after separate Council action): None CALL TO ORDER: Freerks called the meeting to order at 7:31 pm. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA No discussion. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ITEM Freerks said the Commission will consider setting a public meeting on July 19th for an amendment to the Northeast District Plan. The amendment will modify the Lindemann Hills Map to incorporate a large institutional use and adjust the conceptual street pattern north of the public square along Lower West Branch Road. Freerks recused herself indicating that she is a member of S1. Patrick's Church, the applicant for the following annexation and rezoning items (ANN07-00002/REZ07-00010). Freerks left the meeting room. Eastham said the Commission will only set the date tonight for the public hearing on the amendment of the Northeast District Plan. There will be time for public input on July 19th. Motion: Shannon made a motion to set a public meeting on July 19th for an amendment to the Northeast District Plan. Smith seconded the motion. Motion carried on a vote of 4-0 (Freerks recused). ANNEXATION/REZONING ITEM: AN N07-00002/REZ07-0001 0: Discussion of an application for annexation of 14 acres of land owned by Henrietta Miller and 1.89 acres of land owned by the City of Iowa City located north of Lower West Branch Road, north of Brentwood Drive and Broadmoor Lane and the rezoning of 14 acres from County Residential (R) to Low Density Single Family Residential (RS-5) and approximately 1.89 acres from County Residential (R) to Neighborhood Public (P-1). Howard said staff modified the description of the annexation to include the public square that was dedicated to the City of Iowa City from the Miller family. Howard said the memo she sent to the Commission this week that continues on from the original staff report. The memo elaborates on the conditions that staff has discussed with the church on integrating this large institutional use into future neighborhoods that will develop around the church. Staff is concerned about the church property extending approximately a quarter mile from Lower West Branch Planning and Zoning Commission July 12, 2007 Page 2 Road, which will reduce the number of east-west street connections; the church purchasing three sides of the public square, which is intended to be a public focal point of the neighborhood; and the traffic the church will generate from services or special events. The first condition staff discussed with the church would provide for future street access to the church property from the north. Because development north of the church will not likely occur for several years, it is not feasible for a street to be built along the northern boundary of the church property at this time. However, staff recommends that the church dedicate at least half of the right-of-way for a future street that would extend east-west across the northernmost portion of their property. A second access point would help disperse traffic as the neighborhood grows around the church. A second condition is that the church would dedicate the land for the street connections to the northeast and northwest corners of the public square along Lower West Branch Road, to ensure good access to the public square from future neighborhoods that would surround the church property. Staff feels that dedication of land for these street connections is sufficient at this time, but if the church sells either of these small parcels prior to these streets being constructed, the church or the party they were selling to would need to construct the street connections at that time. A third condition would be to install an 8-foot sidewalk across the church property to create an east-west link between the residential areas east and west of the church. The location of the sidewalk is conceptual and its exact location can be determined when the church finalizes its site plans. Howard recommended deferring the annexation and rezoning items until after the public hearing for the Comprehensive Plan amendment is held. Smith asked if the cost of the streets were contemplated at all in the proposal. Howard said the street connections to the public square would benefit residential developments that would form east and west of the church property, so could be required as a condition of annexation and rezoning for those properties. Staff felt that it was an adequate condition for the church to dedicate the land at this time. Koppes said she is concerned the road to the north would not be built, and then there would not be a secondary access to the church, like what happened behind Grant Wood Elementary. She asked if the City is guaranteed that this road and secondary access will be built. Howard said the City has quite a bit of control over where streets are built because the land has not been annexed yet. There will be some assurance if the district plan amendment refers to the importance of this street and if the church dedicates land for that purpose. Howard said the access point on Lower Branch Road would be adequate for distributing the initial traffic from the church. There is two-way traffic around the square, which will help other drivers avoid the traffic generated by the church. Shannon asked if the City currently owns the land that makes up the public square. Howard said that the dedication of the park occurred since the last Planning and Zoning meeting. Eastham asked what would happen to the right-of-way north of the proposed church if the road never materializes. Howard said the right-of-way could be vacated. Eastham asked where the ownership would go from there. Howard said the property typically goes to the adjacent property owner. Eastham said the church would have an opportunity to buy the property at its appraised value. Smith asked if there was a mechanism that could split the cost of constructing the road north of the proposed church between the church and the future developer of property north of the church. Greenwood said the Commission could address it more proactively. Howard said escrow could be required, but given the uncertainty of when the property north of the church would develop, the escrow might expire before any construction could occur. Another option might be to have the church dedicate land for the entire street right-of-way (60 feet). Public discussion was opened. Karl Schmidt introduced himself as Henrietta Miller's son-in-law. He asked that after an annexation, if the Comprehensive Plan is set exactly how it is shown on the map or is there an opportunity to adjust the plan. Howard said the maps in the Comprehensive Plan are conceptual and slight variations will be allowed, but the principles, the connectivity of the streets and open space, need to be followed. The City uses the Comprehensive Plan to guide development. Alignments of the streets can be adjusted for topography or similar. Any request for development in Iowa City, which must come through this commission and the City Council, has the opportunity to make an amendment to the Plan. Planning and Zoning Commission July 12, 2007 Page 3 Schmidt said that his family was not aware the process for development in Iowa City. His family was told that when the land was annexed in, that the family had to follow the plan and donate the public square to the City. He said that if his family does decide to sell more land to the City, there are some things in the proposed amendment to the district plan that his family has difficulty with and would like an opportunity to work with the City to make adjustments. Schmidt said that the public square itself has not been named, but Henrietta has donated this land to the city and would like to see her name included in the name of the park. Greenwood said she would like to clarify what it requires to change the Comprehensive Plan. In the zoning ordinance, it states that it must be a substantial change in circumstances, which is what happened with the sale to the church with it being such a large parcel. It is a high threshold to meet to cause a change in the Comprehensive Plan. Schmidt asked if topographic features would meet those requirements. Howard said nothing about the public square circumstances has changed. The southern half of the square has already dedicated to the City. There is a significant change in circumstances with the proposal from the church to keep one large tract of land as an institutional use north of the public square. This is quite different than what is shown in the current district plan. Howard also noted that if the Miller family decides to sell more land for development, those plans for development must be consistent with the concept plan in the Comprehensive Plan, but the exact alignments of the streets can be adjusted. Schmidt said he does not like that the concept plan shows streets running through their mature timber. Eastham asked if Mr. Schmidt would be willing to get together with staff before the public hearing next week. It would be easier to make the change now rather than later. Eastham said that the naming of the public square is not the responsibility of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Terry Smith said that Parks and Recreation handles the naming. Howard said the name "Lindemann Hills" is a fictitious name used for conceptual purposes in the district plan. The Millers can determine the future name of subdivisions on their property. Schmidt said keeping the name around in some form would help the farmers who worked the land to preserve their legacy. Howard said the naming of streets would be something their family should discuss with a developer before selling the land. Shannon said he is the only current member that was on the Commission when the Northeast District Plan was drawn up and many of the members were concerned about putting a park in the middle of a busy country road. The staff at the time said that Lower West Branch Road won't always been a country road and this is a plan for the future. He said he goes along with the concept of radiating streets and neighborhoods around a public square. The Comprehensive Plan is meant to be a guide. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Koppes motioned to table discussion until the next meeting. Smith seconded the motion. Motion carried on a vote of 4-0 (Freerks recused). Freerks returned to the meeting room. DEVELOPMENT ITEMS: SUB06-00003: Discussion of an applications submitted by Dav-Ed Limited for a preliminary plat of Galway Hills Parts 10 & 11, a 53-lot, 21.75 acre residential subdivision located at Dublin Drive & Shannon Drive (45-day limitation period: July 23, 2007). Howard said staff received a request from the applicant to defer this item indefinitely. The applicant said they would like more time to discussion their options for developing this property. Public discussion was opened. There was none. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Smith motioned to defer the application. Eastham seconded the motion. Planning and Zoning Commission July 12, 2007 Page 4 Motioned carried on a vote of 5-0. SUB07-00004/SUB07-00005: Discussion of an application from Tyler Rogers for a preliminary and final plat of North Fifty First Subdivision, a 3-lot, 3.00 acre residential subdivision located west of Kansas Avenue, south of IWV Road SW (45-day limitation period: August 2,2007). Howard said this application will need to be deferred because one of the requirements in the Fringe Area Agreement is to have a fire rating from the volunteer fire department that will serve this development. The developer's engineer has not received the rating yet, but plans to have it prior to next week's meeting. Public discussion was opened. There was none. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Smith motioned to defer the application. Eastham seconded the motion. Motion carried on a vote of 5-0. VACATION ITEM: VAC07-00004: Discussion of an application submitted by University of Iowa to vacate a portion of Court Street west of Madison Street and Front Street south of Burlington Street. Ralston said the University requested this vacation to help facilitate redevelopment. The University intends on building a new recreation center between Burlington, Court, Madison, and Front Streets. Ralston stated that a vacation that recently occurred in this area was VAC02-0002, which was submitted by the CRANDIC railway, it cleared title on the sale from CRANDIC to the University. It ended up vacating four very small parcels. A second vacation that occurred in this area was VAC02-00004, which was also vacated to the University. He said there was and access easement retained to allow access to the Iowa River. The Near Southside Design Plan identified a "green link" from the government area around the Courthouse to the river would be an amenity to the public. Ralston said that Harrison Street runs directly into the Iowa River and the public easement would allow for an access to be built in the future. The Court Street right-of-way would run into the University's power plant, so public access is not necessary. Ralston said vacations are reviewed with several factors; the first being impact on pedestrian and vehicular access and circulation, and the second being impact on emergency and utility vehicle access and circulation. In this area, Burlington Street and Madison Street carryall of the vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The land being vacated acts as an access road to the university properties and won't affect the general public. Ralston said that MidAmerican identified a major gas line under the Court Street right-of-way, and should this vacation be approved, a blanket easement should be included. Staff is recommending approval of item VAC07-00004 subject to the retention of necessary utility easements. Koppes said Front Street has been blocked off by fences for quite a few years and using that as an argument against public access seems wrong. It is backwards logic to block off a street and then tell the public that they don't need it. Ralston said that it has been blocked of since at least 2002 indicating that it is not needed for circulation. Shannon said that the University said they would remove the fence in 2002. Miklo said Public Works might have approved the fence and staff will look into it. Koppes said she recalls that the University said they would remove the fence. Miklo said there is no reason for the general public to be in this area. There isn't a business or residence in the area that someone would want to go to. Eastham said there could be the possibility of the Front Street right-of-way to be used as an east side river trail. Miklo said the location isn't ideal for a trail. Eastham asked what the University's intension is Planning and Zoning Commission July 12, 2007 Page 5 for the Front Street right-of-way. Miklo said it would be used as a driveway for buses for swim meets. Miklo said staff's recommendation is to approve this vacation. If the Commission wants to defer the item, Staff could check on the trail issue with Parks and Recreation and fence issue with Public Works. Public discussion was opened. There was none. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Eastham motioned to defer the application until the July 19th meeting. Shannon seconded the motion. Eastham said that he would like to defer the application until the Commission hears back from the Parks and Recreation Commission or staff on the potential for a trail system on the Front Street right-of-way. Smith asked if anyone has looked at accessibility to the area. It might be something staff will want to look at. Motion carried on a vote of 5-0. OTHER Howard said that in the most recent City Council meeting, the Council decided to go 50-50 with the developer on Whispering Meadows for the cost of constructing the street that will cross the greenway. The Council also asked the developer to make an effort for affordable housing. Howard said no definite percentage was agreed upon, but a note was made on the Conditional Zoning Agreement. Howard said the other issue was considering dedicating land along the trail. Parks and Recreation took a look at land in Outlot A and determined the area needed a lot of clean up due to barbed wire and downed trees. The Council sided with the Parks and Recreation department's recommendation. The fees in lieu of won't be determined until the final plat. ADJOURNMENT Motion: Shannon made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Smith seconded. Motion approved bv a vote of 5-0.

Call to Order: Freerks called the meeting to order at 7:31 pm. Public Discussion of Anv Item Not on the Aqenda No discussion. Rezoninq Item: REZ07-00008: Discussion of an application submitted by Three Bulls, LLC for a rezoning from Central Business Support (CB-5) zone to Central Business (CB-10) zone for approximately 2,035 square feet of property located at 301 S. Dubuque Street and rezoning an additional 6965 square feet of adjacent property from Neighborhood Public/Central Business Support (P1/CB-5) zone to Central Business District (CB-10) zone. (45-day limitation period: July 19, 2007) Planning and Zoning Commission July 19, 2007 Page 2 Walz said the rezoning area incorporated a surrounding piece of publicly held land that had been considered for development at the time that the Court Street Transportation Center had been constructed. The City had been unable to obtain the tract of land at the corner of Dubuque and Burlington so it had been anticipated that at some point a private developer would develop this small piece of land. The Comprehensive Plan was amended at the time of the Hieronymus Square rezoning so that the City could consider CB-10 re-zonings south of Burlington Street and north of Court Street provided that certain criteria were met including: . any extension of the downtown to south of Burlington Street . be well connected to the established downtown in terms of pedestrian access . the increased demand for parking be addressed . design of the building to be compatible with the downtown The extension of the CB-10 zone would allow for taller buildings to be constructed south of Burlington Street providing a diversity of uses and housing types. When Plaza Towers had been constructed, the market had shown that there was a desire for a different type of housing in the downtown area. Per the Comprehensive Plan, the functions of the core downtown area were to be at the pedestrian level. There was public concern that the downtown might redevelop at such an intense level, which might lead to the removal of some historic buildings and change the pleasant character. Since the established downtown already has the desired pedestrian level interest, it was appropriate to allow some CB-10 development south of Burlington to reduce development pressure on the established downtown. Creating more housing in the near downtown area, south of Burlington Street, would create more opportunities for downtown commercial entities to be supported by the residential uses. Because the subject lot is so narrow, it is not feasible for parking to be provided on site so the applicant proposed to provide parking in the Court Street Transportation Center. The parking fee requirement, which was a condition of the Hieronymus Square rezoning, would also be applied to this property. The developer would pay a fee for parking spaces based on the CB-5 requirements. Parking permits for the tenants of the building would be available in the Court Street Transportation Center. The parking permits would not guarantee that parking would be available in the ramp but would ensure the right to look for a space in the parking facility. Design compatibility issues considered by Staff included ground floor entrances and windows and entrances located at grade level, variation in the fac;ade, the fac;ade being split up into distinct units, sidewalk level entrances and canopies to emphasize the entrances. The optimal building design would be one that functioned as a pedestrian friendly building. The proposed building would be 13 stories high, the same height as the Hieronymus Building. Staff had asked the developer to consider varying the roof height and line to distinguish it from the Hieronymus building. Bays would extend out 5-6 feet from the building at their apex to allow some variation in the building fac;ade and to provide more space for the development since it was such a narrow site. Street amenities including trees would be provided to separate the pedestrian traffic from the high volume vehicular traffic flow on Burlington Street. The street level walkway would be located on private property; Staff had requested an access easement so it would function as a public sidewalk even though it was on private property. The design images being reviewed to the Commission did not depict the actual facility design or color scheme. They had been rendered by a UI graduate student in Urban and Regional Planning for the purpose of illustrating the bulk/scale of the proposed development in the surrounding environment. Walz said Staff recommended approval of REZ07-00008 a rezoning from Central Business Support (CB- 5) zone to Central Business (CB-10) zone for approximately 2,035 square feet of property and rezoning an additional 6965 square feet of adjacent property from Neighborhood Public/Central Business Support (P1/CB-5) zone to Central Business District (CB-10) zone, based on the nine conditions listed in the Staff Report of 7/19/07. Freerks asked if the City had received any complaints about motorists not being able to find parking spots when this type of permit had been issued. Walz said she'd discussed the issue with Jeff Davidson. The City had a formula which takes into consideration short-term versus permit parking, the number of any Planning and Zoning Commission July 19, 2007 Page 3 given spots needed during the business day versus non-business hours, etc. It was thought that at least 90% of the time a parking spot would be available for permit holders. Miklo said the situation was closely monitored and that Staff was not aware of any negative issues with regard to parking availability for current permit holders in this or other City ramps. Walz confirmed that the same height requirements, minimum of 7- and maximum of 13-stories that had been applied to the Hieronymus Square Development would also be applied to this project. Public discussion was opened. Swen Larson, applicant, said they'd had good success working with City Staff and meeting all the design requirements to date. The City had decided to remove the existing curb cut to Burlington Street and this would make developing the property a challenge. Eastham asked Larson if he had any reaction to any of the conditions that City Staff had proposed. Larson said there were some small language issues that his lawyer and City Staff were working through. In general, the requirements set forth were fine. Sarah E. Swartzendruber, 1 S. Gilbert Street, said she'd spoken with City Legal Staff prior to the meeting and didn't think language would be a big issue. The applicant was agreeable to all conditions as set forth except item (i), Substantial Compliance. The developer felt the design review process was a good process, especially for a development of this magnitude but they didn't want to be tied to 'substantial compliance' with the plan that was submitted with the rezoning appliation. Swartzendruber said that there had been give and take on both sides; it had been a collaborative process and the applicant wanted that process to be able to continue. If the developer was looking at interior design issues and needed to make some slight modifications to the exterior of the building, they wanted to be able to do so without having to reappear before the Commission in a few weeks or months. She thought the language could be worked out, but the applicant wished to request that they not be tied to an exact site plan or exact footprint submitted with this particular application. Miklo said Staff had discussed that request earlier in the afternoon. It was Staff's feeling that substantial compliance would allow for some leeway for adjustments. Any other language could open it up to become quite subjective. Since the City was selling property for this proposed development they wanted to be relatively sure of what they were going to get. Staff felt 'substantial compliance' gave them the flexibility to work out those issues. Staff's concern was that by having less language, such as general compliance, it could open it up to become an argumentative situation between the developer and the City. Swartzendruber said the language used for the Hieronymus Square development did not contain the 'substantial compliance' language, it had only included the design review process. The applicant was concerned about being tied to a picture at this early stage in the process as it was only the rezoning. Miklo said less specific language was one of the City's concerns with the Hieronymus development. The bulk of the development looked quite different than the original building proposal. Staff was continuing to review those issues with the developer; the proposed building still had to go through the design review process. That was one of the reasons why Staff had revised the language for this and future applications. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Koppes made a motion to defer REZ07-00008, an application submitted by Three Bulls, LLC for a rezoning from CB-5 zone to CB-10 zone for approximately 2,035 square feet of property located at 301 S. Dubuque Street and rezoning an additional 6965 square feet of adjacent property from P1/CB-5 zone to CB-10 zone, provided that the applicant was agreeable to an extension ofthe 45-day limitation period to the next formal Commission meeting on 8/2/07 to allow discussion of and resolution of the substantial compliance language issue. Larson agreed to an extension of the 45-day limitation period. Planning and Zoning Commission July 19, 2007 Page 4 Smith seconded the motion. Brooks said he did not see a need to defer, he was confident that legal counsels could work out the language issues. There were a number of other more detailed criteria listed in the bullets in item (i) that covered the issues critical to Brooks in terms of the appearance of the building. Substantial was subjective, to get hung up on one word didn't seem productive to him. Miklo said if the Commission opted to defer this item to allow resolution of the language issue it would not slow down the process for the applicant or delay when the application actually went before City Council. The sale / purchase of underlying land would not be ready to be placed on the Council's agenda before the 8/21/07 meeting. Freerks and Smith voiced concern regarding the Commission voting on language knowing that it would be tweaked by City Staff without their approval. Smith said the wording listed in the Staff Report was part of their motion and he didn't feel that Staff had the liberty to tweak the Commission's approval after it had been done. He was comfortable having the first sentence in section (i) struck out as the design was still subject to the review of the Design Committee. Brooks said a Site Plan to him was a plan that showed how a building would be positioned on a site which had no association with the appearance of the fac;ade of a building. In the Hieronymus case a site plan had been important because their building had not taken up the entire site. The other bulleted items in (i) were critical to the design facade of the building and didn't pertain to the site plan. He felt they needed a legal definition of site plan. Brooks said, as a landscape architect with numerous years in the building design business, a site plan was a set of plans showing how the building would be positioned on the site, it didn't refer to fac;ade or breaking up the fac;ade of a building. Freerks said she was not comfortable striking the first sentence from section (i), it could lead them into territory that they were not prepared to address. Miklo said Staff's request would be to defer the item rather than striking the first sentence to allow Staff the opportunity to find language that would be acceptable to both Staff and the applicant. Eastham said he had not been inclined to defer this item but after listening to the discussion and comments, he felt that deferral was optimal. Eastham said he agreed with Smith, the initial sentence was not completely satisfactory from either the applicant's or City's perspective. He didn't want to send a recommendation to Council that the Commission had approved but Staff had tweaked the language and/or conditions after the approval and without a re-review by the Commission. He would be absent from the August 2nd meeting but for the record wished to state that he was supportive of the rest of the application and Staff's recommendations. The sentence in question was the only item that he had any concerns about. Smith said it was a substantial change in the right direction for the Community. He supported Staff's recommendation short of the one sentence in question. He also wanted a clear definition of site plan. Freerks said she was in favor of deferral. The item in question could mean different things to different people, it would be best to work it out and perhaps gain some additional knowledge from the resolution. The motion to defer passed on a vote of 6-0 (Plahutnik absent) Comprehensive Plan Item: Public hearing on an amendment to the Northeast District Plan modifying the plan map for the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood to incorporate a large institutional use into the conceptual street pattern north of the public square along Lower West Branch Road. Freerks recused herself citing conflict of interest, as a member of the St. Patrick's parish. Planning and Zoning Commission July 19, 2007 Page 5 Howard said the impetus tor this amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was the application by St. Patrick's Church to build a new church north of Lower West Branch Road and north of the public square that was currently being constructed. Initially in the Northeast District Plan it had not been anticipated that a large institutional property would be located in the middle ot the neighborhood north of the public square area. Therefore an An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan would be necessary to show how such a large tract with an institutional use could be integrated into the new neighborhoods that would form around it. The City hired a land planner to review the area, the topography, the existing Comprehensive Plan, the principles trom the existing NE District plan and asked her to try and incorporate them all into a new plan map for the Lindemann Hills area in the NE District Plan. The planner worked to keep all the existing principles of the NE District plan in place, including a interconnecting street system, good connectivity between areas east and west of the church property, preserving open space along the stream corridor, connecting trail system for means of transportation and travel across the neighborhood, incorporating the public square so it would have good street access to be used for all the residential neighborhoods in the area, and that the square would remain the focal point for the new neighborhoods. The church property would need to have an easVwest street connection at the north end of the property which would substitute for what had previously been planned. An additional means of travel would include having some sort of trail connection across the church campus when the Church had determined their site plan, buildings and parking lot. Howard said Staff supported the modified plan map; they felt that the principles originally identified by the citizens who had crafted the NE District Plan were in place, while accommodating the proposed church. Staff also recommended adding language to the Plan which would describe what the new plan map was and what it meant, making it clear that it was a conceptual plan and when land was purchased there could be adjustments made to the exact location of roadways to preserve natural features and farmsteads to preserve estates that currently were located in the area. Staff had provided proposed draft language to the Commission prior to the informal meeting and had revised that language based on the Commission's discussion at the Informal meeting. Howard also mentioned that staff met with the Miller family to discuss their concerns about preserving natural features, such as the woodland on their property and the farmstead which abuts the Church property. The proposed language that would accompany the revised plan map in the NE District Plan was responsive to their concerns. Howard read the proposed language revision to the Comprehensive Plan for the benefit of the members of the public present. Smith requested two additions to the proposed language: 1) An additional sentence at the end of the first paragraph indicating that the City was addressing the location of the street at the northern edge of the property. This was in response to recent events where developers had been requested to make improvements to City owned land. He wanted to make sure that the land dedicated for a street would be constructed as a street when the time came to develop property north of the church. He suggested adding the sentence: "Public right-ot-way is being acquired from the church for this purpose." 2) Second underlined section, "based on topography or" to preserve natural features and existing farmsteads and estates. Brooks said he supported those two changes, he had thought of a similar suggestion regarding topography himself. Public discussion was opened. Father Rudolph T. Juarez, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, thanked the City for the great accessibility that they'd been given all through out the process of the prior months. Father Juarez said that the tornado that had devastated St. Patrick's Church on 4/13/2006, had forced the parish to ask themselves the questions of when and where to rebuild and how to best serve the spiritual and material needs of their parishioners and how to be a positive force in Iowa City. The decision had been reached that it was time for a move. Several locations had been looked at but none had worked out. When the Henrietta Miller property had become available, Father Juarez had told the parishioners that it was time to hurry up, slowly. Father Juarez said the church intended to build an aesthetically pleasing church and campus using local architects, local contractors and local labor. The parish felt that the new St. Patrick's would be a stabilizing force and a positive presence not only in Iowa City but in the new neighborhood as it Planning and Zoning Commission July 19, 2007 Page 6 developed. The Church and parish hoped to remain true to their mission dedicated to the service of God and true to their neighbor. They were pleased to count themselves among the citizens of Iowa City and hoped to continue to be good neighbors and allies while working for the greater good of Iowa City for generations to come. It was the Church's intent to be a LEED-certified building and be earth friendly. They hoped to break ground in spring 2008. Gene Miller, 4975 Sharon Center Road, said he and his brother in law, Karl Schmidt, as representatives of the Miller family wanted to go on record as generally approving the changes to the Comprehensive Plan and to the Northeast District Plan to accommodate St. Patrick's Church. They were in support of the changes staff made to the language of the plan to allow flexibility to protect their green timbered area on the existing farm for a future residential development by family members building in that location. They wanted to preserve the ability to possibly alter the location of the large main street so as not to go through the timbered area. Karl Schmidt, said at the Commission's suggestion they'd met with City Staff and had come up with language that the Miller family was comfortable with regarding the family's ability to adjust the streets slightly to accommodate the natural topographical features of the land. Eastham thanked the Miller family for taking time to visit with Staff and to work out a resolution with the City. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Smith made a motion to amend the Northeast District Plan and modify the Lindemann Hills Neighborhood map to incorporate a large institutional use into the conceptual street pattern north of the public square along Lower West Branch Road and to include the text of the 7/19/07 Staff memo with two language amendments as previously discussed. Shannon seconded the motion. The motion passed on a vote of 5-0 (Freerks recused, Plahutnik excused) Annexation/Rezoninq Item ANN07-00002/REZ07-00010: Discussion of an application for annexation of 14 acres of land owned by Henrietta Miller and 1.89 acres of land owned by the City of Iowa City located north of Lower West Branch Road, north of Brentwood Drive and Broadmoor Lane and the rezoning of 14 acres from County Residential (R) to Low Density Single Family Residential (RS-5) and approximately 1.89 acres from County Residential (R) to Neighborhood Public (P-1). Howard said Staff recommended approval of ANN07-00002, the annexation of the two properties into the City and felt that they met all criteria for annexation into the City. Staff recommended approval of REZ07- 00010 with some conditions because the Church was not yet ready to build and had not developed a site plan. 1) Dedication of land and associated construction easements to the City for public right-of-way for future street connections to the northeast and northwest corners of the public square that would ensure street access to all corners of the public square and help establish the public square as the focal point for the neighborhood. 2) An agreement that if the Church decided to develop one or both of the parcels of land either to the east or to the west that abutted the sides of the square or sell it for development, the successor in title will be responsible for constructing one or both of those street legs. 3) An agreement that at such time as the church property was developed the church will be responsible for construction of and granting a public access easement over an 8-foot wide sidewalk extending east- west across the center of the church property, exact location to be determined through the special exception process. 4) Dedication of a strip of land along the northern boundary of the church property to the City for use as future public right-of-way. At such time as the northerly street is constructed, the church also agrees to construct an access drive from the street to the developed portion of the church property so that it will be possible for users of the property to access the northerly street. Planning and Zoning Commission July 19, 2007 Page 7 Howard said Staff recommended approval with the conditions as noted. Public discussion was opened. Kevin Monson, 221 E. College Street, said the Parish was very supportive of having the church be connected to the neighborhood in a pedestrian friendly fashion. Because the exact location of the church building on the site had not been determined yet, the parish wished to maintain great flexibility and latitude of location with the intent to connect to the neighborhood with an east to west connection but with the knowledge that the connection might not be a straight line as currently shown on the map. Dedication of land - the Church agreed to the request for a 30 or 60-foot dedication requirement, but hoped that it wouldn't be any more than that. With the understanding that the future developer in the neighborhood would pave the street(s), the Church felt that the dedication of the land to the City was a reasonable accommodation for the development of the site and for a northern access to the property. Monson said the church felt that it was important that the square was connected and would become a very important part of the neighborhood. Eastham asked Monson if the church was satisfied with the open language regarding trails and trail connections. Monson said it was all in who was interpreting the language. Straight lines made him nervous. Motion: Smith made a motion to approve ANN07 -00002/REZ07 -00010, application for annexation of 14 acres of land owned by Henrietta Miller and 1 .89 acres of land owned by the City of Iowa City located north of Lower West Branch Road, north of Brentwood Drive and Broadmoor Lane and the rezoning of 14 acres from County Residential (R) to Low Density Single Family Residential (RS-5) and approximately 1.89 acres from County Residential (R) to Neighborhood Public (P-1) with the conditions as stated #1-4 in the 7/9/07 Staff Report with one amendment under item #4, the dedication of a 60-foot wide strip of land along the northern boundary of the church. Koppes seconded the motion. Eastham asked if any members of the Commission had had any discussions regarding this item outside of the formal or informal meetings with members of the public. None were disclosed. Brooks said he had real concerns about the future of the roadway and a developer opening up another can of worms regarding assessment of the cost of the road so everyone shared equally in the cost of construction. At this point, this was probably the best that could be done Greenberg said if the Commission wanted the Church to pay for the cost of the paving, this was the time to make that designation. Miklo said that would have to be accomplished in the form of an escrow which given the uncertainty of when the property to the north would develop, may not be a viable option. Escrows would expire after a specified amount of time. If this was a fast paced fast growing area, Staff would support such a proposal. However, given the pace of residential development in this area it would be hard to predict what would occur in the next 5 to 10 years. If the escrow lapsed, the money would have to go back to the property owner. Koppes said that there would be some compensation for the property owner to the north, because the amended district plan shows higher density townhouses in that area. She also noted that the developer would get a some compensation for having to build the road by not having to pay for the land that had already been dedicated by the church. Shannon said an argument was centering around whom would pay for construction of a future street when it was not even known if the street would even come into existence. Eastham said he agreed with the suggestion that the Church dedicate the full right-of-way width. He agreed with Shannon, predicting what could or would develop north of the church was difficult. Smith said it seemed to be a good concept, if the concept materialized it would be seen. Planning and Zoning Commission July 19, 2007 Page 8 The motion passed on a vote of 5-0 (Freerks recused, Plahutnik absent) Development Item: SUB07-00004/SUB07-00005: Discussion of an application from Tyler Rogers for a preliminary and final plat of North Fifty First Subdivision, a 3-lot, 3.00 acre residential subdivision located west of Kansas Avenue, south of IWV Road SW. (45-day limitation period: August 2,2007) Miklo said this item had been deferred from a previous meeting because a fire rating had not yet been established. A fire rating of 9 had been received from the Tiffin Fire Department. The rating scale was 1 (best) to 10 (worst); per a conversation with a representative of the insurance industry items with a rating of 10 were uninsurable. This fire rating would put anyone on notice who wished to purchase property that it would be difficult to provide fire protection for the subdivision. Staff recommended approval. Public discussion was opened. There was none. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Eastham moved to approve SUB07-00004/SUB07-00005, an application for a preliminary and final plat of North Fifty First Subdivision, a 3-lot, 3.00 acre residential subdivision located west of Kansas Avenue, south of IWV Road SW subject to Staff approval of legal papers and construction drawings prior to consideration by City Council. Shannon seconded. The motion passed on a vote of 6-0. Vacation Item: Brooks recused himself citing a conflict of interest due to his involvement with this project. VAC07-00004 Discussion of an application submitted by University of Iowa to vacate a portion of Court Street west of Madison Street and Front Street south of Burlington Street Ralston said this application had been deferred from a previous meeting to allow Staff time to investigate two concerns: the possibility of using Front Street as part of a trail system fencing that the University of Iowa had placed over the Front Street right-of-way Planning Staff had discussed with Terry Trueblood of Parks and Recreation and John Yapp of JCCOG the possibility of using Front Street as part of a future trail system. Both had indicated that Front Street would be an undesirable location for a pedestrian trail due to lack of lack of connections to existing trail connections surrounding the Front Street area and its close proximity to railroad tracks in the area. Public Works Staff had attempted to research the question as to whether the U of I had been granted permission to fence off parts of the Front Street right-of-way. They had been unable to conclude one way or the other whether permission had been granted to the University to fence it or not. It was Staff's opinion that due to the close proximity to the University's power plant and to the railroad tracks the area was probably not needed for vehicular or pedestrian circulation. To vacate this area would benefit the City in two ways, it would relieve the City of maintenance costs in the area and decrease the City's liability for the area. Staff recommended approval of VAC07-00004 subject to the retention of any necessary utility easements as discussed in the previous recommendation. Public discussion was opened. There was none. Public discussion was closed. Motion: Eastham made a motion to approve VAC07-00004, a vacation of a portion of Front Street between Burlington Street and Harrison Street as well as Court Street between Front Street and Madison Street subject to the retention of any necessary utility easements. Smith seconded. Planning and Zoning Commission July 19, 2007 Page 9 Shannon said on a previous vacation request by the University, the University had agreed to remove the fencing to allow fishermen/women access to the river front. The University had neglected to remove the fence to allow public access to the river. He wanted to see the community have access to the river. Miklo said Staff had reviewed the minutes from 2002. This same issue had been an issue of concern for the Commission at that time. Miklo said he did not recall if the University had had a representative present or not. The Commission had requested raised the question of whether permission had been granted for the fence. But there was no flow through on requiring the fence to be removed. Koppes said if a vacation at Prentiss Street or other direct access to the river were requested, she would want a definite public access easement retained at minimum. In the future the City needed to watch what was being given up as they were giving up access to the river. She felt that it had been mentioned in the Staff Report but the City had not followed up on it. She didn't like that the fence had been installed or that the fence still remained. Freerks said she agreed, it would be good to have protected public access to the river. The motion passed on a vote of 5-0.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO CITY COUNCIL Recommendation that Recognition of Art in Non-Public Spaces go to "II Compositore" also known as "The Piano Man". Motion passed 7:0 Request that Council present a certificate to the artist and to the property owner at the next Council meeting. PUBLIC DISCUSSION OF ANY ITEM NOT ON THE AGENDA None. CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF THE MAY 3.2007 MEETING MOTION: Fosse moved to approve the minutes as submitted; Martin seconded. The motion passed 7:0. PRESENTATION OF MURAL PROPOSAL BY TOM AWAD Tom Awad made the presentation, providing appropriate background information for himself and Tony Carter, his partner, and using a PowerPoint presentation of previous projects as well as similar projects done by other artists. Accompanying the PowerPoint were print copies for the Committee. He delved into specific ideas for an Iowa City mural, and discussed longevity and other factors that need consideration, and suggested appropriate walls around town.. Franklin mentioned a mural painted over stucco on Iowa Avenue; after five years that is now chipping away. She noted that permission must be provided by the property owner as well as the business owner, especially since some of the buildings are in a state of flux. Preparation and finishing of the wall must also be considered. Seabold suggested that a first step would be to approach business owners. Franklin told Awad to focus on one wall, develop a specific plan, and then return to the Committee; Klingaman will be the contact person. The PAAC, if supportive of the proposal would take the plan to Council. Awad indicated he would prefer the wall that faces the U.S. Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee Minutes June 28, 2007 Page 2 Bank building parking lot, and that he would develop four color plans. Davidson reminded him to talk with Bank officials, and also to the person who owns the building. CONSIDERATION OF NOMINATIONS FOR RECOGNITION OF ART IN NON-PUBLIC SPACES At the last meeting, the Committee deferred a decision because not everyone had seen the two nominations, "Piano Man" on Muscatine Avenue and another piece in Manville Heights. Some members still had not seen the artwork in Manville Heights and it was decided to defer that decision until members could visit the piece. Klingaman will forward a picture and address to the members. MOTION: Carter-Walsh moved that "Piano Man" be recognized. Seconded by Williamson. Motion passed 7:0. Council will present a certificate of recognition to the artist and to the property owner at its next meeting. [At this point, the Committee took a brief break to recognize Karin Franklin, retiring June 30. It was also recognized that the Public Art Advisory Committee is now 10 years old.] DISCUSSION OF SUBMITTALS IN RESPONSE TO RFQ FOR POOL WALL PROJECT. Franklin noted that the art is for a wall 102' by 20' on the east side of the room in the Recreation Center that houses the swimming pool. Given the location, we need to carefully consider medium and materials used. The procedure is to select four finalists, using the same or different mediums. The four then each submit a proposal and receive a $500 honorarium to put the proposal together. The Committee will then determine a budget from the costs the artists experienced in past projects. If the budget requires more money than is available, we will need to decide what action to take, such as fund raising. There is time for all this; there is no rush. The RFQ close date was June 15. If not pleased with initial 20 responses, the search can be re-opened. The Committee proceeded to review each of the submissions: 1. Christopher Bennett. Reiected. Price was reasonable, but the submission was uninspiring, and too adult. Materials are not necessarily appropriate. 2. Barbara Cooper. Accepted for first round. Submissions are all mosaics. Potential for donations. Cost could be a problem. 3. Dale Divoky/Chait Galleries. Reiected. with minority opinion. There is a maintenance issue; his work in ceramics is too fragile. The subject matter is limited: cute, but nothing else. His work is small, and would not translate to the large wall. The expense is potentially workable. Fosse liked Dale's idea, but we don't need such high quality fish. 4. Brit Hammer Glass Art & Architectural Installations. Accepted for first round. Seems prohibitively expensive. Not very impressive in relation to the cost. Our project is much larger than things he has done. 5. Mike Helbing. Reiected. Too intricate, and intended more for outdoors. Sculptural. Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee Minutes June 28, 2007 Page 3 6. BJ Katz. Accepted for first round. The majority liked. Colorful. A minority found her work to be too adult. It might be a challenge to do something with a more youthful bent. 7. Ellen Lanyon. Accepted for first round. Lanyon says she has a piece showing in the University of Iowa Museum of Art. Her work is generally liked; the Committee feels that she could accomplish this project. 8. Maria Mijares. Accepted for first round. Her work is relatively small, but could be translated; it would be done off-site and then installed. The group liked the images and color; it was bright and dynamic. 9. T.J. Moberg. Accepted for first round. This is interesting and inexpensive. Need to be careful- the work may be too fragile with children around. T.J. (Jackie) Moberg also represents Tom Moberg, Karen Strohbeen, and Bill Luchsinger. 10. Bao Pham/Chait Galleries. Accepted for first round. A large setting that can be seen without glasses, or from the street. It is colorful and simple. It could be even bigger. At $90 per square foot, it is inexpensive. 11. Saxe & Patterson. Accepted for first round. Embellishments of spaces but if just empty wall, less interesting. The medium and shapes are liked. 12. Kenny Schneider. Reiected. This reminds Fosse of a soccer park; he does not see it in the intended space. 13. SMart Design Studios. Reiected. Photo mosaic. Track-type technology. Two 100 x 200 square foot collages. The detail would be lost in the setting. It is too detailed and cannot be seen without glasses. The artist did not do enough work on this RFQ. 14. Vonderschmidt & LaStella. Reiected. This is too organic and not right for our setting. 15. Alan Weinstein. Accepted for first round, in a split decision. Colorful, good style; goes well with space. The artist does a lot of tapestry; would have to translate that style to mural. It appears that this project might be out of Weinstein's realm. Yet he is strong graphically and different than all the others so far. This would be good to take to the proposal stage. 16. Casey Westbrook. Reiected. The work is scriptural, adult, and dark. In further discussion, Moran and Fosse reiterated their pleasure with the Bao Pham fish motif. Moran liked the proposals in glass and ceramics; he found them more attractive and presumed they would wear better. Agreement was that Weinstein lacked the experience to stay on the list. The Committee then each voted their top four. On this round, B.J. Katz was in first place, with Saxe & Patterson in second. There was a three-way tie for third place: Maria Mijares, T.J. Moberg, and Bao Pham. It was decided to go with all five since the three were so close, and all five were quite different. Franklin asked whether Klingaman was clear on instructions to give to the five. Suggestions included explaining the space for the artwork, having the artists consider longevity, be specific Iowa City Public Art Advisory Committee Minutes June 28, 2007 Page 4 with each artist (e.g., tell Katz that we really liked the reflecting light. The Committee will need to decide details at the next meeting; we will meet at the site. Comments about the artists should be emailed to Klingaman before the next meeting, August 2. A letter will be sent immediately to those not chosen; the finalists will be emailed a notice that specifics will be coming later. We also need to determine the timeframe. An additional issue is whether we are covering the entire wall, or only part of it. DISCUSSION OF PAAC STAFFING Franklin introduced Jeff Davidson as the new Director of Planning & Community Development. Klingaman will be taking major responsibility for public art in addition to her other responsibilities. She will therefore only be able to handle this project and little else. Franklin suggested that there may be the need to have discussions as to whether a separate staff person is needed for Public Art if the number of projects expands or fundraising becomes necessary. Public Art will always be tenuous; in hard funding times it is difficult to defend staffing when Council is discussing police and fire fighters. COMMITTEE TIME/UPDATES None.

Members Present: Keranen, Nelson, Segar, Weeks, Ziegenhorn Members Absent: Bleam, Stubbers Others Present: City Clerk Marian Karr, Mayor Pro tem Regina Bailey Approve Minutes: Approval of July 18 minutes motioned by Segar, seconded by Ziegenhorn. Approved 5-0. Report from Website Subcommittee: Nelson requested assistance in designing advertisements for the website. Keranen committed to helping design the advertisements. Karr noted that the subcommittee should consider what the deadlines are for submitting inserts into orientation packets. Keranen agreed to look into this. Nelson noted that the University has student involvement and volunteer fairs at the beginning of semesters which would be ideal for promoting the website and calendar. Report from Grant Proarammina Subcommittee: Keranen referred to the application forms with corrections made that was included in the meeting packet. Karr noted that the city personnel reviewed the forms and were satisfied with the content as presented without being given further instruction for desired changes to be made. Nelson pointed out a typo on the first page. Keranen asked if the blank lines provided were necessary, and the group agreed to keep them. Karr noted that the form would be posted on the website as well. Karr asked about the deadlines for the applications to be submitted. It was proposed to have applications received three or six months in advance. The group agreed to publicize the grant as soon as possible. The applications would be accepted immediately. Applications would be received and reviewed until funding was exhausted. Youth Advisory Commission July 25, 2007 Page 2 Karr agreed to send the press release to the commission members before it was submitted. Nelson agreed to draft a description of the grant program and possibly frequently asked questions. Karr suggested posting the applications both on the Iowa City website and the Youth Advisory Commission website. Nelson suggested having a contact person for the grant program, available to be contacted through the website. Keranen suggested Nelson. Nelson agreed to answer questions through the website through a "contact us" form. Parks and Recreation Master PlanninQ Process: Bailey asked the Youth Advisory Commission if there was interest in facilitating youth input in the master planning process of the Parks and Recreation department. Karr stated public input meetings could be scheduled similar to the past Youth Survey input session; and could be held at city hall as well as other public places more convenient for youth participation throughout the community. Keranen noted that speaking with classes in school could be an effective way of obtaining input. Keranen suggested producing a survey to be posted on the website, which could be drafted with the consultant. The commission as a whole expressed interest in being involved in the master planning process. Youth Summit: Correia was not present to discuss this item. Karr noted that when we consider goal setting for the next session hosting a youth summit could be considered. Keranen noted that during the last goal setting session the youth summit was stalled until the commission became more known in the community. Vacant Position: Ziegenhorn is leaving for college and resigning from her position effective August 1, 2007. No applications have yet been received for the vacant position of a 15-17 year old. Karr noted the position would be readvertised and the deadline for applications is September 12. Keranen will be facilitating a retreat for the Community Youth Leadership Program in August and will pass out applications then. Karr noted that representation from Regina High School, the alternative high school, and youth from other categories should also be considered in advertising the position. Youth Advisory Commission July 25, 2007 Page 3 The commission thanked Ziegenhorn for her commitment during her term. Schedulina: The next meeting was set at August 22,2007 at 7:00 P.M.
