or right to interfere with. Finally, from a policy standpoint that
the Ordinance is not needed in this City for the reason that the
enforcement of the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code presently
before this Commission (Commission version) that we support the
passage of that Ordinance and that we feel if it were properly
enforced that the extraordinary remedies provided by the Tenant
Landlord Ordinance would offer no benefit to the citizens of the
City but could in fact cause a rapid and dramatic increase in cost
of rental housing in the City of Iowa City.

CONSIDER RESOLUTION TO APPROVE THE FiNAL PLAT OF VILLAGE GREEN SOUTH
X

Comment:
The Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on September 15,
1977, recommended by a 6-0 vote approval of the above subdivision subject
to the following contingencies: (a) that a legal description, necessary
easements,,', and a plat showing the location of the proposed sanitary sewer
and lift station be provided with the, required legal papers, (b) that
back lot lines of lots (approximately Lots 49-56) be extended so as to
obliterate" Parcel A, and (c) that Parcel B be dedicated to, the City
according to the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Commission.
This recommendation with the exception of contingencies (b) and (c) is
consistent with the Staff's' recommendation presented in a 8taff.Report
dated September 15, 1977, which was attached to .the Council agenda of
September 27. This: subdivision had been referred to the Parks and
Recreation Commission which had recommended the latter two contingencies.
Specifically, the City upon _approval of the prelimiary plat:of'-this
addition had indicated to the develo er`,that'the City,would acceptt the
i
dedication of a''40' strip of land between,this'subdivision and the railroad
tracks.` The Parks' „and Recreation Commission did not feel it would be
advantageous for the City; to own and maintain the strip as 20 feet of the
strip would be occupied by several utilities'. This item was placed on
the previous Council agenda for discussion.;and resolution of the latter two
contingencies and completion and resolution of the 'first contingency.
Because the Council had not reviewed:the above contingencies, you may
wish to defer any consideration of this item until the next regular meeting.
