Major a emplo_nent,locations'of project area residents have not been determined nor is ,the in available.', 1 III IYSICAL EwIROM11Nr 1 Land and Climate r 'n The-prolect'Iarea contains three major soil series, Down Silt Loam (lfi2), ' j Fayette Silt'Loam (163) and a Colo -Gly Complex (11). The`Down's soils consist of moderately, dark colored, ,yell drained, silty' 'developed ' soil. in Loess under both forest and grass' vegetation. They!are theiprairib-forest equivalent Tama'soils. �i '? of 'They have a very , I 2 I - dark brown silt loran r)2, or subsurCace layer. The suhsoiI is dark hrot%m, moderately permeable, silty clay lomn free of mottles to about 30 to .36 inches. ,The substrattmn is Leached, nlottlal yellowish hreWn, silt loam. "i'helloiviis soils', occur predominately on gently sloping to moderately sloping, land (2 to 9%) and are subject to erosion. The general urban developability'of these soils is good to fair. The Fayette series consists'' of light colored, well. drained, silty soils. They formed in loess under forest vegetation. They occur on convex ridge tops and; gently to strongly.sloping sideslopes (2 to 140t). Where not eroded, they have.dark gray silt loam surface layer 2 to 4 inches thick; a grayish „ brown, silt loam subsurface layer; or A2 horizon, 4 t 8 inches thick.- The surface and subsurface layers may be partially or completely removed by erosion. The subsoil is yellowish brown, moderately permeable, silty clay loam. i The substratum is yellowish brown silt loam with some grayish mottles. The general urban developability is slight to severe as the slope dictates. Colo -lily is a complex of the black, poorly drained Colo and the very dark brown, somewhat poorly drained lily soils. This 'complex is ,located in the relatively, narrow upland drainage ways. The Colo is in the center of 'the delineation' with the watercourse running through it and the Ely occurs In narrow bands along.either or both sides of the footslopes,A These areas are subject to ,brief flooding. 'These soils present severe; limitations in their development for urban uses. Parts of the!Ralston Creek flood plain are found int he Rehabilitation Arens. Ralston Creek is a; 5,600 acre (8.75 square mile)' watershed and the cast bank tributary of the Iowa River:' It flows through the Rehab Area in a westerly l. direction.Approximately,50 percent of the watershed area is urbanized and 50 percent is in agricultural uses., The urban land, use is in thedownstream half. of the': watershed. It is the continued` development of the upper, watershed Lthat has created an increased frequency of flooding in older developments "downstream.' The pilot programs are in this older part of the city. :;Most flooding; in the<project area is along Rundell Street from=Sheridan to Muscatine Avenues. Residential structures suffering the greatest amount of flood' damage are those structures which encroach on' the floodway. 2. Vegetation, IViIdIifc and Natural Areas Projcct,'arcas arc: urbanized and therefore not valuable as a habitat for i wi.Jdlife nor,'do they have undisturbed natural vegetation cover-within'thoir• bounds. Tfie(,types `of vegetation that -do exist arc characteristic or urban residential' development and include the, following, interstital forest (severely' damaged by"Dutch 131m disease), parks and green zones, vegetable and'flower"gardens; and interstital grasslands (private lawns)., Natural areas do exist along Ralston Creek. Most of this vegetation is a ! result of -neglect and consists of heavy weed 'cover „shrubs,''and smell trees. Tile density of this; vegetation provides valuable cover and refuge for small mammals indigenous to this area (e.g.,'muskrats, squirrels,' rabbits, song birds and'others,,etc.). 'Ralston Creek is an intermittent stream which does not flow during prolonged periods of dry weather, aquatic life is limited. There are no endangered species'.of fishlor the aquatic life which inhabit the creek. ?r' 3 i5 �,.- .77).::1 r ^+� ;� t . �.'.;, � \ li..:tll`. ^i'�<—rn�_ .�,•��_-- — I is I Y \S L 44 MiF 7n / 1 n I !I t f:. 3. Surrounding land Uses The nature of existing land uses within this arca is mixed. land use intensity is greater'in the western part of the planning area as it is close to the business district (i.e., multi -family and commercial). Two neighborhood parks (10.9' acres),: and two schools (Central Junior High and Henry Longfellow s. Elementary) ser.%! this area.:'Typical single family housing is old, 70 years. PROGRAM PLAN GOALS AM) ORJFC WS Under ',(,'hapter '403 of the 1175 Code of Iowa, a comprehensive neighborhood improvement program has been established. This program will utilize any appropriate private and public resource's to eliminate slums and urban blight and to encourage needed ' urban rehabilitation. This program may Include, without limitation, provisions for: prevention of the spread of blight by enforcing housing, zoning, occupancy controls and standards,'and,by encouraging, rehabilitation and reoair of deteriorated and deteriorating neighborhoods. - The' program will support neighborhoodrehabilitation " through'a number of activities. Financial and technical services',are ofparticular'' significance to achieving these, objectives. r M 'St FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 'Many times low and moderate income owners find they are unable to meet property, " repair and maintenance costs. Ifthey find that this is the least expensive avail - le.:= structural. alternative, they',may be tolerating and ignoring substandard conditions to, remain in affordable' quarters.', The',renabilitation program will provide financial assistance tIo pay for, improvements which will bring the structure up to decent, safe, and sanitary conditions.' w 111e•program may'use grants, loans, and/or',other financial means which are deemed t necessary and are lawful:to achieve the goals of the rehabilitation project. ,,.,. Grants: may be:offered to low income property owners. The maximum amount of the gr antgkwill'be based on,previous experience of other similar projects and the 1Rrr`.overull:'qualit y',of the.structuresencountered in the 'designated area. The amount of the grant injindividual cases shali depend on the value of work required to bring the dwelling into a decent, safe and sanitary condition.. H, Loans ;'may.be offered: o eligible owners who are'in need of financial assistance E i for.maintcnance;work. The maximum loan amount shall be determined based on. 'other progruns' experience and the existing structural conditions within the designated area. , TECIWICAI. AND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES The program willoffer, in addition to pertinent and necessary financing services, whatever construction and/or special technical' service that is deemed necessary ltr for.the"!successful promulgation of the area rehabilitation project. These technical .:'services will -generally use adopted ordinances and/or regulations'to establish t1'i construction guidelines. These` guidelines will then be used in conjunction with w' . locally', accepted practices to pursue structure rehabilitation. j; a Iti a • I In addition to city standard-specified work, the rehabilitation program may also perform work in such areas as energy conservation, fire detection, architectural barrier removal, and others which are not specified but are considered necessary and 'lawful to''make'the structure decent, safe, and sanitary. 01'III:R ACI'IVI'1'I1Is Activities carried out as part of this program might include development of a neighborhood ;improvement resource center, property acquisition -rehabilitation- disposi ion,rsite improvements, systematic code enforcement, planned neighborhood 'develorment,`and/or any other activity deemed necessary and authorized by law. r 1 r I 1 ' I, I i .a I (• I 1 T♦ tj y i r Ii. r ! i r ', 1 IOliI L,. a - r 1 6 1 I 1 iA, 403 PROCEDURES SUMMARY h , , r, Chapter 403 of the 1975 Code of Iowa, ns miended, an+thorizvil cities to exercise ''urban renewal, project powers" and certain other powers far the rehabilitation and ''redevol.o redevelopment of blighted ureas.

Rehab is not a new program. It has been around as a federally funded program since the 1960's,'however, the approaches used in early renewal efforts differed consider ably from present goals and',objectives. CITY DEVELOPW3NT The establishment of cities as centers of trade or transportation resulted in a clustering of structures forming a Central Business District (CBD) or a downtown. Since 'the 'CBD was one of thel',earliest recognizable elements of a city it became the first to show signs of ',obsolecence and deterioration. The citizens looked at their ,CBD 'as the Heart of,the City and when the ','Heart" became old and weak group concern pressed, for means of revitalizing the heart to pump, new life into the entire city. CITIES INITIATE RENEWAL .t The Federal government responded to the request of cities for aid by developing blight andselimination.Earl lannin 1 programs forslum -Urban Re neval.P gY P planning methodology i stressed that old is bad and new is better, a sign of health and vitality. Old structures were acquired, torn down and some 'new buildings built in their place. As the downtown became '!renewed" concern ivas voiced about ,the blight surrounding the: new downtown. The areas, of concern were traditionally the oldest ,housing of the city that through years of changing ownership, occupancy and demands for maintenance resulted in a cluster of old structures„ lacking modern conveniences and amenities.'. These older structures were long neglected in maintenance and therefore were not considered as`desireable housing by citizens who could afford better! accommodations. I Again,cthe planning and renewal' approach was to tear down the blight and reuse the land' for., more, suitable and economically: more profitable use such as -expanding the CBD area. =- RESTORATION AND CONSERVATION Many of the early renewal efforts were in the older large cities of the U.S. Economic pressures of,full development of these cities began to influence planners to; pressure for saving older}structures.' The masonry row housing of the eastern " cities lent itself well''to'preservation.`'` Professionals argued that old isnot necessarily bad and. Europeancities have viable housing: that is centuries old and the `American !'throw away" culture cannot be applied to urban problems. practicioneers looked at the,old row housing surrounding the CBD and developed +, program g architecture. The programs were, expensive, and ro rams to restore the 13 monied investors were actively participating. The Federal government provided lower than market loans under Section 220 of the Housing Act. The results were amazing.',libere once slum housing existed, we now saw cleaned brick structures, copper gutter systems, ornamental iron work, shutters, brass lanterns, brick paving and gracious interiors.. liousing resources, at government sponsorship and financing -- not for the poor or middle class, but for the upper income people. 1, From slum to posh. Ghetto to Georgetown. HHAT.ABOUT T1iE PEOPLE? Little governmental concern was voiced regarding the people that lived in the renewal area. The philosophy, of ,renewal, in force at the ,time, work on the premise that if we eliminate slum housing, the occupants of that housing will on their own seek out and find decent, safe and sanitary housing. Economics were not considered, andithe poor had little political influence to change the trend. As this 'pattern became repeated through even larger,, circlesaround the' CBD's and in city; after city, the frustration and anger oflthe displaced poor becameAeard in Council chambers and Congress and the chants of 'Urban Renewal - Negro Removal" became an issue to be_dealt with. e The Federal government modified the Renewal structures to obligate cities receiving Federal,assistance,to offer relocation assistance to displaced families, and to'change the planning so as to conserve more housing and minimize clearance. A' CONSERVATION BEC04ES REHABILITATION Y The Federal government now instructed cities to control the construction standards on their preservation programs to' assure that the minimum requirements of Decent 'i. Safe'and'Sanitary housing are met by .requiring local governments to adopt housing and building codes. To further assure a more lasting Rehabilitation effort, the codes were reviewed for content (workable program certification) and if found'to be silent or weak in some area, obligated cities to`incorporate within Urban l z ;Renewal plans,, Property RehabilitationStandards(PRS) which obligated owners to,: go beyond_code in repairing their structures. Financial incentives to owners. came from Federal rehabilitation grants under Section 115 and low interest long r.' `term loans under Section 312 of the Housing Act. CONCENTRATED CODE ENFORCQdENT PROGRAMS !• One�Federal experimental approach was the development of Concentrated Code Enforcement programs (CE.117),which were,intended to deal'not with slum elimination, but to.complement Renewal' efforts '.by.permitting,a city to',receive.Federal financial .,, assistance for a- neighborhood beginning to show: physical 'signs of deterioration. The program methodology was to concentrate,'within three years, housing code;' enforcement efforts within that neighborhood to arrest', the decline and stabilize " the camnunity."Federal Rehab loans and grants were available to property oiuners, and the citYcouldP provide capital improvements but no clearance. The program i 14 was designed to arrest blight and to assure relocated citizens of other Renewal arrest, decent, safe'and'sanitary housing resources within the community. the program elements were sound, but it never achieved much success mainly due to federal housing officials rejecting funding requests from cities as being in "too good of anarea"'and forcing!communities to attempt to use the limited program benefits in!areas of housingbdeteriorated far beyond the scope of the financial and environmental supportive tools available. Housing Renewal wasn't working. Concentrated Code Enforcement wasn't permitted to work, so the Federal government tried something else. NEIGHBORHOOD DEVEL0PMENr PROGRMIS Old urban renewal regulations required a long period of time from the identification of, an area as requiring attention, to the actual receipt of Federal dollars It was not unusualto see five years pass before renewal activities began and seven or more years before completion. Some cities today are laboring in Renewal programs that 'are 20 years old! ' The effect of this process was devastating. Instead of upgrading a neighborhood, the decline of neighborhoods was accelerated. Owners would refuse to maintain 4 their'. proper ties because of the possibility of acquisition in the future. ,Rumors ,.;of bulldozers coming caused residents to leave and -stable re -occupancies were difficult to encourage..,Projects,that were conceptualized as Rehab neighborhoods +. deteriorated so completely that by the time of, project execution they should have been reclassified for clearance programs. t'} Neighborhood Development Programs)(NDP) were designed to undertake planning and ,•' -execution%simultaneously and were funded on an annual request basis.,' Although " relatively short lived, the program began to achieve success by involvingfthe citizens,in the decision making process and by focusing in on neighborhood problem i polving,;jrehabilitation of existing housing, and producing results in relatively -short periods of'time. i CWIUNITY DEVELOIfi W BLOCK GRAND In 1974 the Federal government decided to discontinue categorical funding of {+ individual projects such as NDP and instead allocate sums of money as Block Grants ' to communities. Cities in turncould then: design and implement programs; suited to their,:local needs and utilize the Block Grant monies in a morejinnovative and expeditious manner. In FY 1976, the City of Iowa City began receiving Block Grant funds OiCDA). Since then _budgetsi;have been established' for each of the yearly' allocations. 'Responding to citizen and Council interest, funds have been set aside each of the; first three z years'(of the,five year, Block Grant program) to be used for residential neighbor - r hood rehabilitation. The enabling legislation stipulates that HCDA funds be used ''in low and moderate income'areaslof the City. �` 15 i � � i_,.r i I 7 MHIBIT A AGREEMENT THIS AGREDENT is entered into by and between the City of Iowa City, Iowa, a municipal corporation, duly authorized, organized, and existing pursuant to the laws of the lState 'of Iowa, hereinafter known as the City, and ;Oak Woods Development Company of Iowa City, Johnson County,' Iowa, 'a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State, of Iowa, hereinafter known as the Company: WHEREAS the Company is the developer and owner of the subdivision in Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa, known as ' Oak Woods Addition Part VI, an addition to the City of Iowa ; 1, City,, Iowa, according, to the recorded plat', thereof recorded in Plat Book 10, Page, 67, Plat Records of Johnson County, Iowa, and 13 WHEREAS the Company desires to serve said sub- division by water main traversing from the northerly end of Westminster Street as resentl Tatted and running thence West P Y P across unplatted land to the; -southwest corner of'Lot•296 in } said Oak Woods'Addition Part VI as 'platted, and WHEREAS the City has agreed to install, maintain, and operate said main over said unplatted land for a period G�! of time and on',certain terms and conditions, and: WHEREAS it is 'the desire of the parties to enter into an,agreement to grant a'proper easement to the City for the installation,( maintenance, and operation of said water main°and to provide for its location and use, r y in NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 1. :The Company hereby grants an easement to the City,,granting and conveying to the City an easement for the purposes of excavating for the installation, replacement, maintenance and use of such water lines,! pipes, mains and conduits^as<the City ,shall from time to time elect for providing and.conveying water with all necessary appliances r and fittings for use in connection: with ,said water lines, t together with the adequate protection thereof, and also a t right of way with the right of ingress and egress thereto n± over and' across the following described property,to-wit: , A 50.0 foot wide segment of land, the south- , erly and line of which is described is „easterly. as,foliows: Beginning at the northernmost corner of Lot 183 ;.
