Berlin l(fff✓✓✓ 1 City Manager 410 East Washington Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Neal, This letter confirms our meeting with Council on Febru- ary 23rd at 1 pm in Iowa City. Both Don Zuchelli and I will be there, arriving in your office that morning to discuss with you the agenda for the Council Meeting and explanatory mater- ials we will bring with us. We had an excellent working session with staff last week, covering several key issues which must be resolved prior to Land disposition. The topics of discussion included land val- ues, appraisals, parcel reuse designations, development sche- dules, parking, project execution schedules, and disposition processes. Based on these work sessions and our work effort to date, we are fully prepared to ask Council for agreement on plan items and. then proceed into drawing up the solicitation documents. The meeting with Council is of critical importance to the land disposition process. If we can obtain expeditious Council approval on the plan items, then we look forward to developer solicitation in late spring and actual land disposition this summer. I hope we can see some actual construction under way this year and considerable construction activity in 1978. There are many key issues which we need public policy and Council guidance on for proceeding into the disposition phase. I have outlined some of these in the paragraphs below, and each should be included on the Council agenda for the February 23rd meeting. Parcel Reuse Plan. As indicated in our memo on market findings, t ore s nsufficient market support to build all commercial development on the urban renewal parc-011 in down- town Iowa City. We have Prepared with staff a raui;e plan which y// �\ ZLICHELLI,•NTER & ASSOCIATES, INC. • -2- Nr. Neal G. Berlin February 15, 1977 draws on available market support, is consistent with the vibrant downtown concept, and works well from a planning and circulation system viewpoint. However, within the reuse plan there are alternative uses available for key partials. Among the key questions to be ans- wered are: (1) the likelihood and location of a new library, (2) location of subsidized housing south of Burlington Street, (3) location of parking garages, (4) placement of a new, down- town hotel, and (5) encouragement of moderate density housing downtown. Development Staging. We have set forth a desired staging plan for private development based on market considerations and the public policy objective of retaining sufficient parking throughout the redevelopment, construction process. We want to discuss with Council the implications of this staging plan. Disposition Strategy. There has been much discussion on the di sitl6n strategy selected, particularly as it affects the College Block Building and the hat shop site next to Things and Things. We must discuss these issues with Council and reach agreement on procedures before drawing up solicitation documents. Parking. We must reach agreement on the site and staging of new parking facilities in Iowa City to complement private dev- elopment activity. Relatedly, we should discuss on -street park- ing policies and prospective financing issues. Reuse Values. The value of an individual site must be set accordigTntots ultimate, economic use. High prices on resid- ential land will preclude any development there by making ulti- mate rent levels too high for future tenants. Similarly, if commercial land prices are set too high, the final development would be forced to charge future tenants unbearable rents lead- ing to business failures and future store vacancies. We have benefit of the appraisals done by local appraisers on the individual parcels and our own pro forma financial analy- ses. We should present these materials to Council and thereby permit informed judgement on reuse values. In several instances, reuse values are lower than prices previously discussed. Reuse values must be set to purchasc the ni tes from IIUD. W(: should discuss this purchase strategy on the 23rd. Disposi.Lion (1l , ZUCHELLI,HUNTER & ASSOCIATES, INC. • Mr. Neal G. Berlin values must also be determine and bidding process. The two we will suggest strategies to City. -3- February 15, 1977 d for the ultimate land disposition values need not be the same, and maximize ultimate benefit to the Public Improvements. We are prepared to discuss alternative levels, plans, and staging for public improvements if Council de- sires. I understand the City's design consultant will be discus- sing this item in early March, and Council may desire to wait until then for a full discussion of the public improvement pol- icies and alternatives. We will need some general agreement fairly soon, however, on the placement and level of public im- provement to be implemented before we can finalize the solici- tation documents. Public Financing. We are also prepared to discuss public finance questions related to public improvement possibilities. Discussion on financing should probably proceed later within the context of a larger discussion of plablic improvements, however. Pro'ect Execution Schedule. We have established a tentative exedution schedule for the different components of the urban re- newal plan. The execution schedule must encompass public improve- ments as well as private development activity. We could discuss project execution schedule on the 23rd but would be prepared to discuss it in the near future as part of a larger discussion of public improvements. As you can see, there is much to discuss on the 23rd; and Council policy input is critical at this time. Hopefully, we can have a full discussion of the issues and reach agreement on the outstanding, unresolved items. Then we can proceed in the land disposition expeditioilsly and bring the long delayed urban renewal plan into reality. Some of the items to be discussed on the 23rd, particularly the •parcel reuse values, would be better discussed in executive session without the presence of the general public and press. At this point, it would be premature and perhaps give unfair advan- tage to prospective developers to publicize land value calcula- tions. Such publicity might also affect the ultimate revenues the City derives from land disposition. If you have any questions, do not: hositate to call. Ixm or myself.

Following is a summary of Urban Renewal activities carried out during the period February 1-11, 1977: a. Completed a review of the street right of way design project. Identified the scope of the project, and detailed the staff's understanding of the proj ect. b. Completed the review of the status of the Urban Renewal operating budget. Prepared the initial allocation of the CDBG funds to operating budget activity lines. c. Completed the hotel/motel survey which will provide data to Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates, and for the Comprehensive Plan. d. Collected economic employment, and population data, and forwarded it to Don Hunter of Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates. Set up a series of appointments for Don Ihinter's trip to Iowa City to survey economic diversification potential in Iowa City. e. Conducted a two day staff/consultant work session with Scott MacDonald of Zuchelli, hunter and Associates, Don Dommor of Lawrence Ilalprin and Associates, and Jack Leaman of Associated Engineers. Reviewed land uses, operating pro -formas, marketability, and the interface between the private redevelopment and public improvements. f. Reviewed with Jack Klaus and Jay Ohler of Old Capitol Associates the situation regarding pedestrian access to Plaza Centre One. g. Requested a review of the effect of the Contract for Loan and Grant with HUD on the provisions relating to land disposition under the CDBG program contained in the Code of Federal Regulations. PG/ssw 4/42 M E M O R A N D U M DATE: September 7, 1966 TO: Members of Planning & Zoning Commission FROM: Barry D. Lundberg, Director, Planning & Urban Renewal SUBJECT: Rezoning Request of the Burger -Garwood -Gerard tract The Planning Department has given study to the rezoning request of the seven (7) acre tract of land, now known as the Burger -Garwood -Gerard tract. The request is to rezone this entire tract from its present R2 -- Two Family Residence Zone to R3B--Multi-family Residence Zone. The sketch plan for the use of the land (as presented in conjunction with this request) shows 131 apartment units throughout the eastern two- thirds of the tract and a professional office complex of about 20,000 square feet in size on the western one-third of the tract. The development of the land along the concepts shown in the sketch plan would, in the judgement of the planning staff, be as satisfactory in that particular area of the city as would development of duplexes --as allowed under the present zoning. The traffic generated by the development as shown in the sketch plan would be: 410 vehicles per day from offices 880 vehicles per day from apartments 1290 vehicles per day TOTAL Dodge Street in the vicinity of the proposed development now carries over 6,000 vehicles per day. The development would thus add about 20 percent to Dodge Street traffic. Z/ /J i Dodge Street is now operating at a tolerable level of service, however, the 20 percent increase would likely cause fairly long back- ups at signals and fairly long waits at intersections during peak times. If the Dodge Street -Governor Street one-way couple were implemented, more than ample capacity would be available on Dodge. Therefore, the question of traffic seems the most pertinent to the planning staff. However, even without a development of any kind within this area, it is only a matter of time until the traffic buildup on Dodge will necessitate widening to four lanes or some one-way couple arrangement. Respectfully submitted, Harry D. Lundberg Director Dept. of Planning & Urban Renewal HDL/hb *City o4 Iowa Cil* EORA\NU M DATE: January 20, 1977 TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager FROM: Eugene Deitz, City Engineer le -P RE: Alley Assessment On the evening of January 19, the Engineering Division held a small informal hearing for an assessment in the alley of the block bounded by Bloomington, Johnson, Davenport, and Dodge Streets. The primary party interested in the alley improvement is the Zion Lutheran Church, and it was at their request that we pursued the possible improvement to this point. Attached is a sketch of the block showing lot divisions, and the view points of the people who responded to the hearing. In the past, alleys were assessed by what is called the Band Method. The Band Method basically consists of spreading the assessment to all properties within 150 feet of the improvement. If the lots run the full distance between the alley and the parallel street, there exists no particular problem of assessing it in this way. However, as you can see from the attached sketch, there are six lots that do not abut the alley. Here is where the primary problem arises, since very little benefit can be shown to these lots that are away from the alley. At the hearing I suggested a possible second method of assessing the properties. This would consist of levying half of the cost of the alley improvement to only those properties which abut the alley. Obviously enough, we found that some people were in favor of each method. Of the six properties that do not abut the alley, I received communi- cation or spoke with four who strongly objected to any form of assess- ment. Of the•eight owners,of the property which abut the alley, only three came to the meeting, one of which said she would be in favor of 'the assessment if it were by the Band Method, but would object to the assessment if it were by front footage basis. Although the Band Method has been the only method of assessing alley jobs, I feel that the only fair way is to assess it by a front footage basis. In that respect, only two out of eight property owners are in favor of the project. With that kind of percentage, I suspect the chances of the project are very slim. I did however, promise the representatives of the church that I would forward you this information and ask you to consider whether it was worthy of Council attention. For your in>jormation, the estimated cost of the improvement iso $169125.00. Objections consisted primarily of the cost for the improvement and also no particular benefit due to the distance from the alley. If you desir I can go over this with you in more detail. PAD:vci y/y r -I L Mr. Neal Berlin, City Manager City of Iowa City Civic Center 410 E. Washington St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mr. Berlin: n L A 600 Granula Court Iowa City, Iowa 52240 February 3, 1977 I would like to state my opposition to the paving of the alley in the block bounded by Johnson, Davenport, Dodge and Bloomington streets. I own the property at 320 N. Johnson, the upper limit of the estimated assessment for which would be 321,000.00. I see no way in which I could derive a benefit from paving the alley which would compensate for this cost. While I am very much in favor of maintaining rental property in good condition and in making aesthetic improve- ments, paving the alley for the church's benefit would in no way enhance my property's appeal. It might even increase the traffic through the alley, thereby reducing its appeal. Approximately 20% of the estimated cost of paving the alley is for installation of a sewer. I suspect that the primary reason for the sewer is to handle the run-off created by paving the church's parking lot; that would seem to be an expense which they alone should bear, inasmuch as paving the alley alone would not require a sewer. I understani that Ir. Dietz, the City Engineer, suggested that I be assessed 100p for trey frontage on the alley, even though in the past it would have been only 50%, the balance being assessed to the properties to the north of mine. Iiia reason was that they would not benefit from the alley. Since the same is true of my property, it would be unfair to double my assessment to reduce theirs. Moreover, such properties (not adjacent to the alley) would hardly ever benefit, and yet the law has been written to include them in the assesnr!ent. I do not see how this case differs from those for which the law wan written. My strong preference is that the alley not be paved at all. however, if the City Council rules in favor of paving it, I should only be assessed at a 50% rate for my frontage, as is traditional, arca I hope that I will not have to pay for a aowor which is required because of the church parking lot. ineeroly, Dun C. Fowles • City of Iowa CRY MEMORANDUM DATE: TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager FROM: Angela Ryan, Assistant City Attorney RE: Petition for Rezoning February 16, 1977 rvti.�f r I have read the petition presented to the Council. In previous memos, I have given my opinion that the 1967 rezoning was valid. Since the neighbors do not have the authority to require the Council to consider whether to rezone adjoining property, the petition is merely a request and there is no issue as to whether it is valid or invalid. RE: The Gerard Tract The present owners of the Gerard tract are Clayton and Francis Gerard and Ruth Cuber. RE: Rezoning of the Eknmer Property On February 16, 1977, I called Ms. Houser and asked her opinion regarding rezoning. She stated that she would only support rezoning her property to R2 if the building under construction were dismantled, If the present building is allowed to stand, she wants the R3B classification so that she can sell her property and relocate. 6i 0 City Council City Manager Clinton Street bbdular Units i March 30, 19 6 r The amount of staff time and money spent on the Clinton Street modulars continues to increase. This increase results from age and the use to which some of these modulars have been placed. These buildings were viewed strictly as temporary quarters and as time passes tend to become more permanent. Presently no City employee is assigned direct responsibility for the maintenance of these buildings and, in fact, the staffing of the City requires that many times private contractors be employed to undertake the maintenance work. For these reasons, it is recommended that the City Council establish a policy whereby business transfers or the moving of new businesses into the modular will not be approved. This policy will result in a gradual reduction of the number of businesses located in the area and provide for removal of the modular as appropriate. A decision in this matter is not required at this time. However, the next time the City is requested to consider a business transfer or a new rental, the matter will be brought to the City Council for appropriate resolution. In the interim, any contact made to the staff by prospective renters or persons con- cerned with business transfers will be informed that the City staff is recom- mending to the City Council the foregoing change in policy. yob • C • CIVIC CENTER AIO E.WA9..ING TON ET. 0 n IOWACITY.IONA SNUI z W 1319)JST.IBOO uy Februuary 17, 1977 MAYOR MARY NEUHAURR OOUNCILMIM•IRE JOHN SAW ER CAROLMRROSEI L•.ROITER OAVIOEERRET MA%1112EJ1 R009MVEVARA Mr. Ben E. Suumuerwill Iowa State Bank & Trust Iowa City, Iowa 52M Dear Mr. Swmaexwill: Recently you posed a question to me concerning City acceptance, and there- fore maintenance, of the private drive which now serves your home. It does not seem prudent for the City to accept the facility unless it is first brought up to minimum standards as dictated by the City's Subdivision Code. Basically, this will require a 281 wide paved street with curb and gutter and storm drainage facilities. Exceptions to the paving width are available within the Subdivision Ordinance. for instance, 'if parking for five auto- mobiles can be accannodated on private property, the street width may be reduced to 22 feet. The basic provisions are detailed in Chapter 9.50 of the Municipal Code. Should you desire to pursue this matter further, the basic procedure of dedicating a right-of-way follows nearly those procedures established for approval of a subdivision. A plat will necessarily need to be submitted which shows the dedication and will ultimately have to meet the approval of the City Council. If you desire to discuss this further, please call.

MMS Consultants 327 Kirkwood Avenue Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Scott Boulevard Sewer Dear Ron: As discussed, this letter is written to clarify our recent decision concerning the Scott Boulevard Sewer. We have concluded (with Legal Department concurrence) that the more the agreement that you submitted covering the construction of the sewer is re- fined, the fewer reasons remain for trying to establish such an agreement at all. The desirability of tying construction of the sewer to the con- struction of the proposed storm water facility is understandable. However, because of the need for environmental impact statements, as well as the possibility of condemnation to acquire all the necessary property, it could be as long as three years before construction actually occurs. It also seems apparent that an agreement to force Mr. Glasgow to future construction of a sewer main could be difficult at best to enforce, and only tend to be one more confusing document in future years. To the point, we desire to handle the situation as follows: 1. Construction may proceed until the capacity of the Friendship Street sewer is reached. To establish this exact remaining capacity, the City shall attempt to get peak wet weather flow measurements this Spring; 2. When the capacity is reached, construction in the area shall cease until the line from the main trunk is con- structed --presumably by the Developer; 0 0 3. When reviewing construction drawings for the interm sewer, the criteria to approve the plan shall be: a. That the sewer is planned for a future direct route to the trunk line; b. That it be sized to handle the drainage area to be served, not just the initial development; and C. That although a subdivision plat is approved, building permits will be issued based entirely on capacity of the existing sewer. A written response from you as the Developer's Agent indicating agreement to this letter will allow us to forward the information to the Commission and Council, and get the proposed subdivision back into the review/approval process. If you can accept this position, it also will be necessary for Council to rescind Resolution Number 73-17 which called for a tapping fee for generating funds to relieve the Friendship Street sewer. If you desire further information on this subject, please call me and we can discuss it at greater length. EAD:vei cc: Neal Berlin Tony Kushnir Singly, Eug�ne A. Dietz, P. E.

The program, which has been in operation since October, 1976, was developed .to provide both tenants and owners with the opportunity to resolve their rental housing problems cooperatively and economically. Mediation was also conceived as an additional instrument for the improvement of the material conditions of rental housing in the City of Des Moines. HOME's mediation service is a break with traditional approaches to tenant - owner problems because it offers a neutralI community -oriented approach rather than the historical, partisan, advocacy approach. The mediation service is primarily provided by a single housing couneelor whose first commitment is to a low-income population of more than 12,000 rentets in vides Des information nanddrafar,.ition to mediation -services, the housin=unselor pro - When a client desires mediation services, the mediator will contact all the parties involved and arrange a mediation meeting with them. At the mediation session, the mediator -works to facilitate discussion and to encQu ag° a satis- factory solution. When a settlE:.ent is achieved, both parties decide whether to ori a written or oral contract. The mediator will enceurace a written agr-int. -After the mediated settlement, if a violation develops and one party refuses to remediate, then the orlgiaal settlement is available in Small Claims Proceeding.

Plastino 9 RE: Monthly Report - January ENGINEERING The Washin ton Street Amenities Project - There will be little change in tis project till spring. The landscape contractor has demanded that the Christmas tree lights be removed from the trees since they are causing damage to the trees. In addition, the rapidly deterior- ating condition of the Christmas tree lights is causing the ground fault interrupters to activate. I would strongly recommend that the City Manager request the Downtown Association to remove these lights promptly since the landscaping in the Washington Street Amenities Project still belongs to the contractor. The City has no option except to force removal of the lights. Veenstra and Kimm have completed the infiltration/ inflow protion of the Wastewater Facilities Study. This item has been presented to Council and Veenstra and Kimm is now starting work on the Evaluation portion of the study. The money necessary for this will be funded 80% by the Federal and State Government, The MuscatineAvenue Project is under design. It was decided at a pu 1 c. earing t at a sidewalk would be constructed on the Fast side of Southlawn from Muscatine to Robert Lucas School. The West Park Lift Station is complete except for permanent power supply. The Bridge Study of 33 bridges in Iowa City has been completed. Twenty-nine on the bridges are legal and four have been posted with weight limits. 1275,000 has been allocated for remedial measures in the summer of 1977. The remedial measures at the Hawkn a Lift Station are going to he very expensive. As you may recall, th s 1 ft station was designed to handle the entire City of Coralville, and it presently is hand- ling only the llawkeye Apartments. As a result of a very large force main (16"), the sewage is sitting for several days in the force main and is turning septic. When it does reach the gravity sewer line there is so much hydrogen sulphide gas that the concrete gravity sewer is rapidly being eaten apart. Remedial measure- are boiling down to two catagories. One is to add hydrogen peroxide to the sewage to induce a favorable chemical reaction. This will incur yearly chemical costs in an excess of 11,000. The alternate is comPlote resiting of the lift station and the force main. This will he in excess of 1100,000.

SOLID WASTE: DIVISION The Solid Waste Division picked up 673 tons of solid waste during the month. Manhours per ton averaged 2.10. POLLUTION CONTROL DIVISION The crews cleaned approximately 1,600 feet of sanitary sewer. Approx- imately 127 manhours were spent working on the lift stations. There were 8 complaints on sewer stoppages. 3 of these were City responsibility and 5 were property owner responsibility. Testing is continuing for hydrogen sulphide on the Hawkeye Lift Station force main affluent. Sludge is being hauled from No. 1 lagoon to the new landfill. This spring it will be spread out and disced-in prior to planting,. Relays in the controls for the No. 2 gas compressor were replaced. Lower bearings at the west pump in the Hawkeye Lift Station were replaced. All four plant operators attended a math short course at Kirkwood Commun- ity College. Three of the plant operators and one assistant operator took certification exams at Des Moines. The Public Works Director and the Pollution Control Superintendent went to Des Moines to discuss the University of Iowa sewer rates. Repairs were completed on the east grit machine. This unit continues to deteriorate due to age. The Iowa Department of Labor conducted an OSHA inspection of the plant. They recommended the following corrections: 1. Handrails on stairs in lobby 2. Label all building exits 3. Provide a guard over the fan on the rake 4. Provide hearing protection for operators when operating rag shredder STREET DIVISION One (1) utility cut was patched and five (5) storm intakes were clenned. Five loads of snow were removed from the streets. 1,050 miles of street were plowed. 990 tons of salt was used and 660 tons of snnd. Street crews spent approximately 20 manhours repairing guard rails on Ridge Road, 20 manhours plowing at the airport, 24 manhours repairing the barn at the landfill, 52 manhours repairing barricades and 9 man- hours cleaning ice off streets from watermain breaks. CODE ENFORCEMENT 22 building permits were issued with an estimated value of $360,00'). The zoning inspector reviewed 466 signs. 305 of these signs are now conforming. 46 letters were mniled to non -con forming! sign owners, 3 sign permits were issued and 9 eipne were brought into compliance this month, An extensive report wns prepared for the Sign Review page 3. • Monthly Report - January E Committee and for the Planning and Zoning Commission. Charges will be filed against 132 North Dodge Street. Work at 902-904 North Dodge was shut down. The stop work order at 110 Stevens Drive was lifted. Two legal hearings were settled out of Court. WATER DIVISION There were twenty-eight water main breaks during the month. There were five meter resets, 118 special trips to read meters, 250 locations pro- vided and five outside meters installed. 95 meters were frozen and replaced. 912 manhours were spent on overtime. This is going to severly distort the overtime budget in the Water Division. TRAFFIC ENGINEERING The traffic engineer completed preparation of plans, specifications, and estimates for furnishing of equipment for the Jefferson/ Market Signalization project. The Traffic Engineer met with the Downtown Association attempting to resolve the Model Traffic Ordinance double parking issue. The Traffic Engineer met with the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission Technical Comm.ctee. The Traffic Engineer aided the City Engineer with the Tennis Court Lighting Project and also met with NIMS consultants and Hy -Vee Inc. concerning the traffic situation associated with the new Hy -Vee store South of Highway 6. The Traffic Engineer started signalization design for the temporary installation of Highway 6/ 1/ 218. There were 23 calls for defective traffic signals and nine street light outages on the City system. 44 street name signs were repinced and six new street name signs were installed. 24 additional traffic signs were replaced or installed. The traffic signal for Rocky Shore and Highway 6 was reinstalled after an accident. Traffic signal controllers at five intersections were given preventative maintenance. At this point in time it appears that all vandalized, stolen, knocked - down, or otherwise missing street name signs have been replaced. This will be a temporary condition, since between 30 and Inn street name signs are stolen each month. page 4. • Monthly Report - January EQUIPMENT DIVISION The Equipment Division has completed setting up an index card system for preventative maintenance, and the system is working well. Major repairs for the month included various repairs to the snow plows and salt spreaders. The engine in bus 11 is being rebuilt by Hickland Motor Rebuilders in Des Moines, Iowa.

The development of this proposed *specialized transportation program has been guided by the Subcommittee on Specialized Trans- portation Services for the Elderly and Handicapped of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. In addition to developing a coordinated approach to specialized, transportation on the public level the Subcommittee has filed a final application with the ( Office of Human Development (OHD) of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare to coordinate the existing and proposed public and social service agency systems in the Johnson County area. In developing a specialized transportation system for the el- derly and handicapped in the public sector, the Subcommittee has considered various alternatives for the administration and opera- tion of services in the Iowa City area. Five options were considered including: (1) Operation of the system through the Johnson County SEATS program (2) Operation through Iowa City Transit (3) Operation through the local taxi operator .y2 (4) Operation through the University of Iowa motor pool, and (5) Obtaining an operator through a formalized bid procedure. After deliberation of these options, the Subcommittee selected Option (1), that of operating the program through the Johnson County SEATS program. Afterwards, this recommendation was forwarded to the Iowa City and Coralville Councils for their review. It was also suggested by the Subcommittee that Iowa City and Coralville would allocate funds from the IDOT Financial Assis- tance Program to support elderly and handicapped transportation within the metropolitan area. I" This proposal considers the following areas of system management and operations: o Description of Specialized Transportation Coordination in the Public. Sector o Eligibility of Persons o Priority of Trip Purposes o Hours of Operation and the Level of Service ProUided o The Area of Service o Funding and Budget Considerations o Organization and Management o Coordination of Specialized Transportation Services Description of Specialized Transportation in the Public Sector It is proposed that Iowa City and Coralville contract with the Johnson County SEATS program to operate voi,icles within the metro- politan area to serve the elderly and handlcnpped residents on a 3. demand -responsive basis. Currently Johnson County SEATS operates one vehicle which mainly serves rural elderly residents of Johnson County. Accordingly, through this proposal, the administrator of the SEATS program would be contracted to operate one additional vehicle serving elderly and handicapped residents of Iowa City. Dispatching arrangements would be handled in a similar fashion to the current operations of Johnson County SEATS.. Patrons would call in one day in advance to notify their intention to obtain ser- vice in which the administrator- dispatcher schedules routes for the subsequent days of service. It is foreseen that specific routes could eventually be established for service in the metropolitan area If funds are approved through the OHD program the vehicles would become equipped with radios which would enable the system to become ( a dial -a -ride service. Funds for the acquisition of the Iowa City vehicles are to be provided through Housing and Community Development Assistance funds. It is estimated that one vehicle should be sufficient for meeting the level of demand for specialized transportation services, in which this vehicle would be equipped with a lift or ramp to accommo- date handicapped persons. Table 1 provides a timetable of the proposed scheduling of operations. Actual operations of the vehicles for the Iowa City area is scheduled according to the timetable to commence around July 1. However, the actual date of the initiation of operations could be scheduled earlier according to the agreement reached by the participating, Sovernmentai agencies. -z i ''?'�..3'�-.— —.__ _\ .cam\. ),. 1.'0�...`+•\♦ l � t tv Zt i6 � � ilO'N�.�-d :)All`: d� + �•+.\ i,+�� I+•�� tl+ RCTAKE OF PREC EUNG DOCS A� I& M 0 jFM Eligibility of Persons It is proposed that the elderly and handicapped residents of Johnson County would be served by the Iowa City specialized trans- portation system. An elderly person is defined as any individual over 60 years of age whereby a handicapped person is defined as any individual with ambulatory, manual, visual, audial, or mental im- pairments which seriously limits his or her ability to obtain adequatetransportation either through the use of private automobile or public transit. Trip Purposes It is recommended that trips should be assigned on a priority basis according to the following suggested trip -purpose ordering. o Medical trips o Grocery shopping trips o Social service trips o Trips related to organized social and senior activities o Other shopping trips Trips for other purposes will be referred by the system dispatcher to other transportation modes (i.e., public transit) and will be recommended for specialized service only if the vehicles are not operating for the above listed trip purposes. . Hours of Operation and the Level of Service • After deliberation of various options decision was reached by the participating npencies that funding; would be provided to operate one vehicle for approximately 67 hours per week according to the following timetable. Day Hours of Operation Number of Hours Monday 8:30 A.M.-9:00 P.M. 12.5 Tuesday 8:30 A.M.-5:00 P. h1. 8,5 Wednesday 8:30 A.M.-5:00 p. M. 8.5 Thursday 8:30 A.M.-9:00 P.M. 12.5 Friday 8:30 A. N1.-9:00 P.M. 12.5 Saturday 8:30 A.M.-3:00 P.M. 6.5 Sunday 8:30 A.M.-3:00 P.M. 6.5 The hours of allowable operational service will be directly dependent upon the efficiency of the system in the delivery of specialized transportation services. The monitoring and evalu- ation of the system's efficiency and productivity will'determine any extension or limitation of the'hours of service. c Area of Service The area of service will include the Iowa City metropolitan area. With the initiation of service within this area all elderly and handicapped residents in Johnson County will become eligible for specialized transportation services. Funding and Bud etinR Considerations Through this proposal Iowa City and Coralville would provide approximately $38,000 per year to operate one vehicle in the metropolitan area. Table 2 provides a budgetary breakdown of the fixed overhead, labor,,and vehicular expenses of the system.

It is proposed that assuming this level of service the $68,100 allocated to Iowa City and Coralville through the Transit Financial Assistance Program could provide approximately 93 weeks of service. The budget analysis does not include funds which would accrue from fares charged to patrons. It is suggested that a 50 cent fare be charged for one-way trips. It is estimated that enough ridership could be generated to provide from $4,000 to $5,000 worth of revenue per year for the system. Organization and Management of Operations in the Public Sector Under this proposal Iowa City will contract with the Johnson County SEATS program to provide administrative services in operating vehicles for the elderly and handicapped within the Iowa City area. The level of service currently provided to the Johnson County rural elderly will be maintained through this proposal. However, it is expected that some ride and time sharing between the urban and rural vehicles will be enacted. For example, the rural Johnson County vehicle could service some Iowa City residents as the van travels through Iowa City to the rural regions of the county. Likewise the urban Iowa City-Coralville vehicle could assist with the service the rural vehicle prsently provides within the urban area. Improved arrangements could also be made regarding the transportation of Iowa City residents who attend congregate meals. It. is proposed that the coordination of specialized trans- portation service between the metropolitan and rural areas will lead to the following, advantages and benefits over the present level of operation. o Through a coordination of existing transportation services, an increase of operations efficiency should occur. Through the sharing of administrative, dis- patching, and operational services an increase of system efficiency measured through a lowered cost per vehicle hour should occur. o An extension of specialized transportation services to the Iowa City metropolitan area should increase the level of ridership potential which could lead to in- creases in the rate of passengers/vehicle hour relative to the existing operation. Coordination of Specialized Transportation Activities Through this proposal there is a coordination of funding from Coralville and Iowa City to operate one specialized vehicle within the urban area. Chart 1 demonstrates the notion that. funding from four sources, Iowa City, Coralville, Johnson County, and the Heritage Area Agency on Aging would be coordinated into ( the Johnson County SEATS program. Currently, two advisory committees, the Transit Advisory Committee and the Subcommittee on Specialized Transportation Services for the Elderly and Handicapped have assisted in the development of this program. It is suggested that either these two committees would continue their advisory function or that a ,new advisory committee be formed to assist in the direction of this coordination program.

More specifically, an attempt is made to determine what level of ridership and revenue would be diverted from the taxis due to the operation of a publically-subsidized vehicle for the elderly and handicapped. To•determine the amount of diversion, three areas of infor- mation are analyzed including: (1) An estimation of the trips which would be made on the proposed specialized vehicle operated in the Iowa City- Coraly ille area. (2) An estimation of the total number of trips diverted from the taxis through the operation of this vehicle and (3) An estimate of the cost per trip for a taxi. (1) Estimates of Trips on the Specialized Vehicle It is estimated that during the first year of operntion the proposed specialized vehicle operating in the Iowa City- Coralville area would carry approximately 700 passengers per month or 8,400 passengers per year. This level of ridership would imply a productivity faotor of 2,4 for tbo proposed 6;.5 1 operating hours per week. (2) Diversion of Trips from Taxis In a needs assessment study, Transportation for the Elderly and Handicapped in Johnson County, Iowa, an Assessment of Needs and Preferences, a random sample of 211 elderly persons in Johnson County was surveyed regarding their transportation patterns and preferences. One question was directed towards the types and modes of transportation which would be substituted if the surveyed person were to use a specialized vehicle. The question stated: "If a new, special elderly passenger van system were insti- tuted, or SEATS were expanded to become more available to you, what mode of transportation would you use less?" In the elderly random sample, the following distribution of responses was provided. Respbnse Number Per Cent Walk Less 3 1.4 Use the Taxi Less 13 16.2 Use the City Bus Less 6 2.8 Rely on Friends and Relatives 7 3.3 Less Drive Less 39 18.5 Would Never Use Specialized 143 67.7 Service/No Opinion Of the total of 68 persons who indicated they would sub- stitute one form of transportation to utilize a specialized vehicle, 13 mentioned that they would use a taxi less. This total represents 19 percent of the tetla who indicated they would substitute a transportation mode to utilize a new r specialized vehicle. From this analysis it can be estimated that approximately 20 percent of the trips on a specialized vehicle would be diverted from taxis. (3) Cost per Taxi Trip From data supplied by the local taxi operator, it is esti- mated that the present cost per taxi trip is $2.07 From the data and analysis provided a formula can be devised regarding the amount of revenue lost to the private taxi companies due to the operation of a publically-subsidized specialized vehicle. The formula can be represented as: X = (a) (b) (c) where X = the amount of revenue lost to the taxi companies due to the operation of a publically-subsidized specialized vehicle a = the percentage of trips diverted from taxis by the specialized vehicle b = the number of trips made on the specialized vehicle and c e the average cost per trip for the local taxis. For the first year of operation the revenue diverted from the local taxis through the operation of a specialized vehicle can be calculated at: X = (a) (b) (c) X =-(.20) (8,400) ($2.07) X $3,477.60 The value for X cited above represents one estimate of the amount of revenue which would be diverted from the local taxi companies through the operation of a pub Iically-sponsored vehicle for the elderly and handicapped. In order to minimize the loss of revenue to the taxi companies an option could be considered in providing a service contract equal to the lost revenue for the taxis to provide service during evening hours and/or for emergency situations. The service could be pro- vided on a half -fare or a fixed -fare basis whereby funds from Iowa City would subisidize the cost of the trip. 0 Introduction This report is part of a series being prepared to assist Iowa City in the development of a city plan. Efficient utilization of land areas will be necessary to meet the demands of a growing urban population. The study of existing land use patterns can serve in the formation of guidelines for future development. 1976 Land Use Analysis A land use study of Iowa City was completed in 1976; the results are shown on the fold out map. Ten land use categories are represented: low density residential (single and two family), high density residential (multiple family and mobile home parks), commercial, industrial, public and semi-public, the University of Iowa, transportation, vacant, agriculture and water. The majority of low density residential uses are concentrated in eastern Iowa City. Smaller concentrations are found north and south of the university. Approximately 14% of the city's land is in low density residential use. With the exception of mobile home parks, over half of the high density residential uses are located within a half mile radius of the university. Mobile home parks are generally located near the city's edges. High density residential represents about 2'F2 % of the city's ,jotal land area. i The majority of commercial uses are centrally located, though large areas of special and regional uses are located in the extreme northeast and southeast areas of the city respectively. Of the total land area, 2% is in commercial use. The greatest land use mixture exists in the area surrounding the Central Business District. Industrial land use comprises about 2% of the city's total land area and Is primarily located south of the Rock Island Railroad and east of U.S. Highway 218. Several isolated industties, generally lacking in appropriate access, exist just north of the Rock Island Railroad. Public and semi-public usns are found throughout the city. These include government • facilities, schools, parks, hospitals, churches, and cemeteries. 11'/2 % of the city's land is in public or semi-public use. The University of Iowa occupies a large land area within the west and central portions of the city. The actual use of university land includes administrative offices, classrooms, research facilities, hospitals, athletic fields and arenas, student housing, and utility and maintenance facilities. About half of the university's land is agricultural or vacant. The university represents 9'/2 % of the city's total land area. Transportation uses include city streets, state and U.S. highways, and railroads. Gener- ally, the amount of land devoted to transporta- tion varies in direct proportion to the intensity of urban development. Transportation networks utilize 12% of the city's total land area. Vacant land exists throughout the city and represents 6%2% of the city's total land area. Many of the smaller vacant lots are virtually unusable due to size, topography, or other physical limitation. 38% of the pity's land is in agricultural use. This type of land use can be found in large quantities on all sides of Iowa City. Water covers 2% of Iowa City's land area. The major water body, the Iowa River, bisects the city. Several streams and small lakes can also be found. The land use pattern of Iowa City is continu- ally changing. Evaluation of the existing pattern has shown that some problem areas exist. In the future, concern for increasing efficiency, equity, and environmental quality may require certain adjustments in the basic pattern established for Iowa City.

Normal activity for one type of land use often is indirect conflict with the activity of another use and the more varied the land use, the greater the potential problems. Community services such as schools, parks, and utilities are most efficiently land therefore most economically) provided when similar land uses are grouped together. Transitions between two types of land use should minimize problems and maximize land use efficiency. Transitions between me very similar land use types may be accomplished with distance and site planning, while those between two dissimilar types may require extensive buffers. Generally, the adverse effects of more intense land uses can be reduced by minimizing the edge adjoining lower intensity areas. Besides minimising adverse effects, a smaller amount of edge per unit area is more econimical to huller (with plantings or fencing). The. reverse of this "edge effect' applies to public open space. Increased exposure of open space offers greater relief from urban develop ment and the benefit per unit area of open space is maximized. In some areas of Iowa City there is a very wide mixture of land use types within a relatively small area. Adequate transitions are typically nonexistent. To eliminate ties numerous conflicts in these areas, inappropriate activities should be relocated and/oradequate transitions installed. 6 LAND USE PROBLEM: Land Use Change, Low to High Density Residential Land use changes are often accompanied by a variety of problems. Poor transitions between low and high density residential areas is one such problem within older neighborhoods of the city. As older hmnes are converted into multiple family housing Of tom down to make way for now apartment complexes, major disruptions occur within these neighborhoods. Inadequate development requirements create problems such as increased traffic congestion and restricted privacy. Many of the high density housing units are occupied by university students, and the varier] lifestyles of students and families can be cause for friction. Existing parks, utilities, and otter community services often cannot adegoalely meet the demands of high density residential use. In addition, few if any of the new apadment complexes blend in with the existing architectural character of the neighborhood Adoquare standards should be eslabashea to mminlimn tiv5u nesting am] pate nodi prubwrns.

Though they are frequen[ly suggested as appropriate era control devices for reducing vehicular speeds in residential areas, they are not only ineffective in this respect but also frequently ignored, as this study shows. By Richard F. Beaubien, P.E. City officials are frequently confronted by citizens demanding that stop signs be placed on residential streets to control speeding. These citizens are convinced that stop signs will reduce speeds on their streets, thereby enhancing the safety of children playing near or in the streets. City councils usually respond fa- vorably to these requests in order to pro- vide a tangible sign of their concern for public safety at a relatively low cost. Moreover, it seems obvious to them also that slop signs will reduce speeds and promote public safety. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Con- trol Devices for Strrets and Highways" states that stop signs should not be in- stalled for speed control. One argument for this is that misuse of this traffic con- trol device promotes lack of respect for all traffic control devices, and nonob- servance of such devices is potentially hazardous, Perhaps a more effective ar- gument is that stop signs are not effective In reducing speeds. Recent studies in the (City of Troy, Michigan suggest that placing slop signs for speed control tends to Increase peak speeds. The dood- les also showed an alarmingly high dis- obedience rale for these signs. The speed and stop sign observance studies were made from an unmarked city car, the former with a radar unit before and after the installation of stop signs, The highest speed observed for each vehicle was the speed recorded. The results are as fol- lows: Anvil Drive.

As of January 1, 1976, the City assessor computed the average assessed value for residential property to be $28,362. The total assessed value upon which taxes are levied in Iowa City has increased from $431,131,910 to $446,654,979 as of January 1, 1976. City services are financed from many sources and these sources have limitations both as to amount and use. The General Fund property tax levy can be used for the support of General Fund services, such as police, fire and park and recreation services. The levy cannot exceed $8.10 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. However, the State Legislature has further limited this levy by placing a 7% and a 9% lid. In the FY 78 budget a general fund levy increase of 7% is proposed. If the increase was more than 7%, then a second hearing would have to be held to justify the additional increase. In FY 77, the General Fund levy was reduced $300,000 by the State Appeals Board. Consequently the City balanced the operating budget by instituting measures which increased the year end balance in FY 76 and including unanticipated revenue, such as the State Operating Transit Assistance. In FY 78. $3,617.905 in property tax revenue in the general fund has been allocated, This includes $233,131 of pension costs. The Attorney General has ruled that cities can not levy in the Trust and Agency Fund for pension costs until the City has reached its $8.10 maximum levy in the Fenerai Fund. lloweveF, tFita State Appeals Board will not include that portion of the per,:tan casts included in the General Fund in the computation of ilre 1z property tax lid.

The City staff has begun working with the selected design firms; explaining the project, the decisions previously made, and other project parameters. To insure that there is no misunderstanding, I am setting forth in writing what the staff understands the parameters to be. This should be circulated to staff and Council, so that we can be sure that the situation is correctly understood. 2. Following is a list of the project parameters: a. Process: The scope of work is to include all phases from initial design through resident inspection during construction. Previous designs will be used as a starting point, with changes as needed to meet changed situations and to more clearly consider maintenance ease and cost. The prime contract will be between the City and Associated Engineers. Jack Leaman of the Mason City division will be personally in charge of the project as Project Director for Associated Engineers. Sasaki Associates will serve as design consultants to Associated Engineers on this project. Stu Dawson will serve as their Project Director and Charles Siuden will serve as their Project Manager. The specific split of duties and fees between Sasaki Associates and Associated Engineers will be negotiated by them, with the City retaining approval authority to insure that the arrangement is satisfactory. The initial step in the process will be to establish a project budget. The designers will prepare sufficient illustrative material to demonstrate alternate levels of treatment and alternate cost levels. These materials will be presented to Council, which will set a project budget. Thereafter, the designers will be required to design the project within the budget. The City Staff will provide the information which has been collected regard- ing subsurface conditions, utilities, etc. Additional information which Is needed will be collected by Associated Engineers. Fuld checking will be performed by Associated. 4YJSA Neal Berlin February 22, 1977 Page 2 1 b. Scope of Proiect: The project is a design/construction project, rather than a planning project. The area to be dealt with includes College and Dubuque Streets and Washing- ton and Capitol Streets as set forth in Resolution No. 76-442. No design work will be done for College Street between Madison and Capitol Streets. The transition points at the ends of designed areas will be ;seated to interface with the adjacent areas. However, no designs for Clinton or Linn Streets are sought. Washington Street is to be designed to accommodate the transit transfer area. However, the consultants may look at using Washington Street east of Clinton, Capitol Street, or Clinton Street to insure that the design will minimize bus/auto/pedestrian conflicts without unduly congesting any single location. The sanitary sewer is to be replaced on College and Dubuque Streets and all air conditioning units will be required to tie into the storm sewer rather than the sanitary sewer. All vaults will be sealed off unless the property owner pays to upgrade them. The project will be carried out in two phases. The College/Dubuque Street area is to be designed and constructed this year. Washington and Capitol Street treatments will be designed to be implemented in coordination with the development of adjacent redevelopment parcels. Adjacent land use information and development envelopes for redevelopment parcels will be provided by Zuchelli, hunter and Associates and Lawrence lialprin and Associates under the existing contract. c. Design Contract: The City Manager will provide an interim authorization to incur expenses so that preliminary work and the establishment of a project budget can proceed. The precise scope of services, contract terms, project budget, and responsibilities will be drafted for execution as soon as the budget is established. d, Design Considerations: All areas must be designed to allow for movement of emergency vehicles. the design must provide adequate service access to all businesses. The ratentien of existing mini -parks may be considered in preliminary design "rk. Neal Berlin February 22, 1977 Page 3 The encroachment into the existing College Street right of way from either block 65 or block 64 should be considered as a possibility. The use of leasable spaces within the right of way may be considered in preliminary design work. All electrical service will be required to be placed underground by an ordinance yet to be passed by City Council. Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric has indicated plans to place a 6 foot by 6 foot transformer at the alley on College Street. The design problems this presents and its implications must be dealt with. The design of Dubuque Street must accommodate transit and taxi vehicles. The design of Dubuque Street should not permanently preclude the use of the right of way for limited automobile traffic. The design of College Street may preclude future auto use. The need for access to blocks 83 and 84 by automobiles, and commercial vehicles must be incorporated into the design of Capitol Street. The need for pedestrian flows across Capitol and Clinton Streets along the existing College Street alignment and the need to accommodate transit staging and pedestrian flow on Washington Street must be incorporated into the design.
