Washington Iowa City, Iowa Dear Persons: I know you have plenty of problems to solve but I have decided to share one of mine with you. I have lived at 3364 S.Rivarside Hribie for 47 years and for 16 years be- fore tnat dust a few door: aorta of here, so you can see I am no fly- by-night resident. I have survived being the last house on the road before entering the City Land Fill for eight years or so. I have had my taxes raised from $509.13 last year to "931.77 this year and you know, I am beginning to wonder what advantages there are in being annexed to your fair City? So the dust from the gravel road is my problem! You have blaok.-topped the north end of this roars up to the beginning of my property and stopped. You have oiled this section of the road to encluie both the Baculis and Thatcher Trailer Courts and the ishool Center across the street but have left both my place and my neighbor Jim Pugh across the street sitting here like orphans! I am beginning to think we are being discriminated against! When the City Land Fill came down here we had a good road and the council at that time promised to leave it as good as they found it, but they never did. I would like to envite you all out for tea some day when the wind is in the West and when all the Maher Transportation and Burger Construction trucks are going 3zsy 0 past, but you wouldnft enjoy the sand. I am now 78 years old with a chronic cough which this dust aggravates. With my Railroad Retirement check I can not afford to have you pave the road so I am asking you to extend the oil about 300 feet around this corner and the problem would be solved -since we are the only ones left at this North end of the road. Here is a chance for you to do a good deed for one Senior Citizen. Please 7 11 Yours truly, 6 1 I COMM[B,bO K&I �V V[/ W K#1 CIVICCINr E11010E.WAS111NGTONST (/ _ _IOWA CITY. tOWA 522Q•st 101010JB00 •IOJM;CRY.iWWA} •.r«.B.B 1w MAYOR MARY NEUHAUSER COUNCIL MEMBERS JOHN BALMER CAHOLU.FROSSE LP.FOSTER DAVID PERRET MAX SELZER ROBERTVEVERA Ms. Edith Maher 2264 South Riverside Drive Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Ms. Maher: The City Council, at its regular meeting of July 26, 1977, received..and placed on file your letter concerning the dust problem in your area.

BrbaraA.Mikuiski.t.id. :r a. p. *city of Iowa Cit* f - MEMORANDUM = DATE, July 5, 1977 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Angela Ryan, Asst. City Attorney 41,v RE: Adoption of Uniform Codes In 1974, the City adopted the 1973 Uniform Codes. Since the next edition, the 1976 Edition, has been published, the attached ordinances will adopt them as the applicable regulations for building, plumbing, electrical, mechanical work and for fire prevention. The carment for each ordinance lists any change in amendments from the 1974 ordinance. We have not attempted to list the changes in the text of these Codes. The most significant change is the establishment of a uniform administrative procedure for the enforcement of these Codes as well as other ordinances. A uniform procedure should lessen the due process objections that have been raised when the City has attempted to enforce these Codes and it should provide a more efficient proce- dure for the code enforcement staff to follow. Prior to the drafting of these ordinances, I net with the Fire Chief and Fire Marshall with regard to any amendments they wished to make to the 1976 Uniform Fire Code. They suggested that Section VI of the Fire Code be amended to reduce the allowable capacity of a portable tank from 600 to 300 gallons. They read and approved the ordinance adopting ordinance. Mr. Kucharzak, the Director of the Department of Housing and Inspection Services reviewed the ordinances and approved them as arn?nded. Mr. Taylor, the Plumbing Inspector, reviewed the ordi- nance adopting the Uniform Plumbing Code. No substantive changes were made. Mr. Bowers, the Electrical Inspector, reviewed the 1975 Electrical Code. This ordinance also has no substantive changes. I met with Glenn Siders several times regarding proposed amendments to the Uniform Building Code. 81307(b) and 1407(b) have been amended to provide a minimum of 80 sq. ft. of floor area, rather than 70 sq. ft, to conform with the Minimum Housing Chapter, Chapter 413, Iowa Code. 81404 Exit Facilities was amended so that the City can continue to allow a 20 'de window as pro- vided in the 1973 Uniform Building Code. The 1976 Edition requires a 24" width. 83205(a) was amended to prevent the placement of the attic access in closets. He reviewed all the ordinances and will discuss those with an appeal to the Board of Appeals with the Board. 327
