Iowa City, Iowa
Dear Council Members:

The resolution of the airport commission regarding the
vandalism of the airport memorial is appropriate.
The culpable parties, both in city government and in
PROJECT GREEN, must rectify their sarong. The plane, cut
asunder over a lunch hour, must not just be returned to
the airport grounds; it must not merely be patched up; it
must be fully and neatly restored and without delay. Those
at fault must demonstrate their sincerity by focusing their
time, money, and resources on making the memorial better
than it was. For example, it would be desirable to also
place a bronze marker at the site. This is an opportunity
to bring greater good out of a perverse act.
I suggest that, by City Council resolution, the Mouiori.al
Day weekend this year in Iowa City be specifically dedicated
to reconsecration of the memorial with its restored aircraft.
This could be highlighted by a short ceremony at the airport.
That humble old jet has come to svmbolize Mow the voice
of the people can yet prevail and how the democratic system,
not cliques and cabals, will ultimately triumph. There can
be no more magnificent monument to those of this city who
gave their lives for our nation.

May 2, 1977
The City Council received and placed on file your letter concerning the
removal of the plane from the Airport entrance at its regular meeting of
April 26, 1977. We all regret the manner in which this airplane was
removed from the Airport entrance. It is best to focus on the fact that
Project Green has now announced that they will make efforts to either
restore the plane to its previous location or assist the Airport Com-
mission in locating a new plane. Indeed it is appropriate that this
plane be identified as a memorial to those who lost their lives in
action by placing a marker at its base.
Thank.you for expressing your concerns to the City Council concerning
the plane. Zf I can be of any additional assistance to you, please do
not hesitate to let me know.
Sincer ly yours,
Neal G. Be

On behalf of the Iowa City Airport Commission I would like
to comment on two recent news items, apparently somewhat related:
(1) regarding removal of the F-86 memorial at the Iowa
City Airport:
At the February 17th meeting of the Iowa City Airport
Commission, three Project Green representatives presented
plans for beautifying Highway 218 south, and solicited
commission support for the project. The Airport
Commission voted approval of the plantivoW and
authorized some financial assistance.
At that time Nancr Seiberling expressed a personal
opinion about the desirability of having the F-86
removed, and having the circular concrete slab
formerly used for flying string -controlled model
airplanes removed. The pros and cons were briefly
discussed. At that time the Project Green Cormi,tee
G •Y.. loot.
was informed by the airport manager, that the plane
was a memorial to those killed in the Korean conflict ,
and the matter was dropped. No request was made to
remove the r -8E, and I can state unequivocally that:
no permission, either expressed or, implied, by the
commission or bl,' an in%'ividual *gcn!,er of t}hc corr.isr,i^^,
or by the airport manager was ever riven to Project
Creen to remove the airplane.

Some of the news media ha6 '4n -e . e._t1"y reported that
the Iowa City Airport Commission "approved" the Project
u zn.f y9„6 ,s
Green plan which did not include the airplanes I would
like to make it clear that the plan presented was on a
highway right-of-way map (somewhat out-of-date) which
was marked up and coded to show proposed plantings.
It was not an airport plan and did not show features
of the airport, nor the F-86. The commission gave
approval to the proposed landscaping , not the airplane
removal.
Nevertheless the F-86 has been removed. Project
Green has stated that it will take whatever steps are
necessary to restore the memorial, and have requested
that we help coordinate the various veter4s groups
to accomplish this, and we as a commission plan to do
this. I think all parties, whomever they may be,
Brew regret tw-k Clri�i of
Project Green is one of the organizations that has
helped make Iowa Citv the finest community in Iowa,
and we hope that the .ur}farinne airplane incident
does not detract from their many fine -f �3rer-.
haysent some of the hardest working People that
we have, and thev are appreciated. 'Miev deserve our
continued financial support and encouragement.

(2) Regarding, discussion at Monday's informal council meeting
clarifying_ city -airport contractual relationships and a
referendum to eliminate the airport commission and place
it under the control of the city staff:
The airport commission was established by a vote of
the people, and can be eliminated by the same process.
It is an autonomous commission (somewhat different
than other commissions, which are strictly advisery).
The Iowa City Airport which the Airport Commission
controls is one of the finest general aviation
facilities in Iowa. Its continued presence and
improvement is important to local industries, to
University Hospitals, and to all the citizens of
Iowa City.
Memebers of the Airport Commission would vote
against abolishing the airport commission for several
reasons.
We feel that the council and city staff have enough
problems already. Transferrins responsibility for
operating, the airport to the city staff would probably
result in hiring+ additional people, which would require
additional tax monies_
Commission mernhers are appointed by the Council and
serve without nay. T"ev grrv, cnr a ner'n.+ � c ns rp.

Since 1970 the Iowa City Airport has operated in the
black; i.e. has had more income than outgo requiring no
tax monies for its operation. This is possible
because the airport has two sources of income: it
receives income from leasing physical facilities to
the fixed -base operator, Iowa City Flying Service, and
it farms the tillable land at the airport.
It hires a part-time manager, K.K. Jones, who also
operates Iowa City Flying Service. Mr, Jones is paid
$5,000 per year for operating the airport.

ANALYSIS
An analysis of the proposed development was submitted in Staff Report S-7611
dated May 20, 1976 (see attachment).
A letter requesting a variance which will allow for a 25 -foot wide pavement
for Esther Court rather than a 28 -foot wide pavement as shown on the
preliminary plat and approved construction plans has been submitted. The
variance was requested for the following reasons:
1. Esther Court will not be a "through" street now or in the future.
2. Parkview Avenue, Esther Street and Dover Street onto which Esther

STAFF REPORT
Planning and Zoning Commission
May 20, 1976
SUBJECT: S-7611, Towncrest Addition, Part
4 - Tract C. Preliminary plat of
a Planned Area Development (PAD)
proposed to be located in an area
east of Dover Street and north of Parkview Avenue. Application by M. M.
Enterprise; Tom Lyon, Attorney. Date filed: May 5, 1976; 45 -day
limitation: June 19, 1976.
EXISTING The proposed PAD is a 4.S7 acre
CONDITIONS: tract zoned RIB, Single Family
Residential. The area surrounding
the subject request is zoned RIB.
Present development around the proposed PAD is single family excepting a
church directly east, Village Green Commons (condominiums) to the north-
east, and Mercer Park to the west.
STAFF The developer has proposed a
ANALYSIS: plan to be approved as a PAD.
The Commission is charged by
Ordinance with the responsibility
of reviewing PADS so that the variances and combinations of land uses
permitted will be in the public interest and in harmony with other
building regulations of the City and will not adversely affect nearby
properties. Review of the proposed PAD should consider the past inter-
pretation of its intent.
The intent of a PAD is to provide for opportunity
to be innovative and creative in site design; a
product that is not always feasible under existing
zone uses. Any PAD which does not accomplish this
intent should be denied or substantially altered
to comply (STAFF REPORT, May 6, 1976).
An R2 Zone would allow single family and -two family residential mixing.
The proposed PAD plan is not unlike development that could occur if the
subject tract were to be zoned R2. Unlikc the R2 Zone, the PAD will
give substantive review standards to the Commission. As proposed, the
PAD does not meet the intent of Chapter 8 .10.20 in the Ordinance.
Th -e Staff does not consider the mixing of single and two-family dwellings
as undesirable. This type of use mixing presently exists in the City
with no deleterious impact by duplexes in well designed neighborhoods.
771c 'PAD erdifWICt :s an appropriatt contrcl tool tt crtu=r hermor.iruf
mixing of land uses in neighborhoods. Thr Staff, then, would recommend
the following changes be made:
That the duplex use he dispersed as evenly as possible throughout
the propnsed plan;
0
-2-
0
2. That the livable area per unit be approximately that which exists
if the lots were all developed as single family. The Staff would
recommand that lots designated for duplex use be approximately
HADD square feet in area (computed using a direct proportion of
average square feet per single family dwelling over the lot area
proposed to the average square feet per duplex over an unknown (X)
lot area);
3. That a stipulation for adoption of an ordinance for the final PAD
plan be -- that not more than two persons not members of the family
may room in each living unit.
In addition to the above conditions, the following deficiencies are noted
and should be changed:
1. The proposed general arrangement of buildings and area of proposed
open spaces (private or common) should be provided.
2. The inclusion of sketches indicating the general design of building
types and overall character of the development should be provided.
3. The Schedule of Completion should be submitted.
4. The plat needs to be certified by a registered land surveyor.
5. The title should be changed to Planned Area Development Preliminary
P1 an.
STAFF The Staff finds the subject
RECOWaNDATION: request unacceptable in meeting
the requirements and intent of
a PAD and recommends the request
be denied unless substantially revised to the standards indicated in the
above comments.

RE: Hamm Second Addition - A subdivision of a portion of Town -
crest Addition, Part 4, Tract C Esther Court Paving.
Dear Gene:
I am writing on behalf of MH Enterprises, developers of Town -
crest Addition, Part 4, Tract C.
With the submittal of this letter, MH Enterprises would formal-
ly request that they be granted a variance from City Code pro-
visions requiring a 28 foot wide paving for Esther Court. The
developers would ask that the variance permit a 25 foot wide
pavement for Esther Court rather than the 28 foot wide street
paving shown on the Preliminary Plat and Construction Plans.
This variance is requested after further review of this parti-
cular street by the developers, and in view of the facts that:
1. Esther Court will not be a "through" street now or in
the future, but will only carry traffic from 19 family
units.
2. Parkview Avenue, Esther Street and Dover Street onto
which Esther Court traffic may flow, have only 25 foot
wide concrete pavements now existing.
Encouraged by informal discussion of this request with you and
Mr. Schmieser, the developers have asked us to submit this letter
seeking formal City approval of the variance.
Please feel free to contact us or the developers, should you have
any further questions regarding this matter. With the advent of
the construction season near, we would hope that the City can act
on this matter in the very near future.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 13, 1977
TO: Planning $ Zoning Commission
FROM: Eugene A. Dietz, City Engineer
RE: Hamm's Second Addition
Attached is a request for a variance from the Developer's Engineer
for.H amm's Second Addition, As requested, the variance will allow
for a 25 ft. wide pavement for Esther Court rather than the 28 ft.
wide pavement as shown on the preliminary plat, and approved con-
struct ion plans.
Although a 28 ft. wide pavement is a standard that should be adhered
to in all instances where there is a potential of the street to
eventually continue, in this instance with a short cul-de-sac I
believe a 25 ft, wide pavement will function quite satisfactorily.
The in formation as shown on the request for the variance is correct,
and I therefore recommend the variance be granted.
