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//

Nr. Neal G. Berlin

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

we will suggest strategies to

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. Both of us will be in Louisiana on Monday and I1'uenatky

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.

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.

Dear Mr. Berlin:

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.

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.

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.

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.
Sin a yours,

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.

Rental Housing MediationU �-_Service I ��� 1a
HONE (Home Opportunities Made Easy) has developed a rental housing mediation
service which is currently available to Des Moines Area tenants and owners.
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

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

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.

EXPLANATION
This bill provides for the imposition of a refund value

77 that it can be reused by more than one manufacturer, it can
7,8 be certified by the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Department

2O If the beverage container cannot be reused or can be reused
11 only by one manufacturer because of its design or shape, or
21 because of the words or symbols on the container, the refund
;ej value shall not be less than five cents.
t4 Redemption centers are also authorized by this bill under
X25 the regulation of the Iowa Beer and Liquor Control Department.
26 If retailers find that it will be more convenient to the
27 public to handle the refunding of beverage containers by a

PROPOSAL FOR IOWA CITY- Coralville Elderly
AND HANDICAPPED TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
In order to serve the special transportation needs of the
elderly and handicapped residents of the Iowa City-Coralville area,
the Iowa City and Coralville Councils have voted to allocate funds
to provide for capital and operating expenbes t3 inii,iat`` a spe-
cialized transportation system in the metropolitan area.
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.

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.
The total projected annual cost of $37.902 for tho rowa city -
1 Coralvillo service would be $728.88 on a weekly basis, It it was

assumed that 67.5 hours of service were provided per week, then
the cost of operations would be placed at $10.80 per hour.
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.

Appendix: Consideration of Loss of Revenue and Ridership to the
Local Taxi Operations
Since the local private taxi companies currently provide
specialized transportation for the elderly and handicapped, it
is of importance to determine what degree of overlap would
occur between the ridership clientele of the taxis and the
public ally- subs idized specialized transportation vehicle.
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.

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.

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.

LAND USE PROBLEM:
Mixed Use Areas
Activity and site characteristics vary lot each type of land use. 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

Stop Signs for Speed Control?
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:

schedules were Dreg -;cu to provide information concerning revisions to

document included adjustmentsto the amended budget to provide compara-
bility for the FY 1978 Budget, these adjustments are listed on pages4-7.
When the approved FY 1978 Budget is printed, the FY 1977 estimated

REVISED PROPERTY TAX LEVY
The General Fund property tax request for FY 78 will be $3,646,321*
allocated as follows:
This levy reflects a .281 increase in the tax rate required for FY 78
and represents $314.19 per year on the assessed value of the average
residential property in Iowa City. 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 General Fund property tdx
levy less the pension rr tx in(-Itiheti there- is an Increase of 6,99+1x over
the FY 71 State approved budget of $1,163,752. This increase required
that the rY 78 budget, particularly in the. General Fund, be a hold -the -
limp effort, Arrnr4ingly, there era few swrvice lo -Vel Improymonts in
the FY 78 budget.

DATE: February 22, 1977
TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager
FROM: Paul Glaves, Redevelopment Program Coordinator �'/ i
RE: Design Services
1. 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.

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

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.

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
