RECREATION CENTER -- MEETING ROOM A COMMITTEE MEMBERS PRESENT: Ilaupert, Wegman, Alexander, Lafore, Sinek, Sieberling, Lilly, Wockenfuss COMMITTEE MEMBERS ABSENT: Summerwill, Gutheinz CITY STAFF PRESENT: Glaves, Keating SUMMARY OF MEETING DISCUSSION: Haupert called for consideration of the minutes of the November 9 and November 23 meetings. Alexander requested that the minutes of the November 23 meeting be changed to show that he was present. It was moved by Alexander, seconded by Wegman that the minutes, as corrected, be approved for the meetings of November 9 and 23. Motion carried unanimously. Haupert presented information contained in a letter from Jack Leaman, Associated Engineers, concerning the City Plaza project. The kiosk has been lowered one foot as suggested by the Committee. A discussion of color selections for the Plaza was held. Ground level colors will be Yuma tan and Van Dyke brown. The kiosk roof will be either copper, or Van Dyke brown aluminum. The Committee expressed a strong desire to use the copper if feasible. Glaves noted that the roof was to be bid as an alternate. The colors for the banners were discussed. While the Committee does not dislike the festive colors they felt that colors selected specially for their meaning would be better. Lafore suggested gold and black. Lafore suggested using a logo of some kind, and recommended the state motto from the center panel of the Iowa flag. A discussion of names was held. The name City Plaza was not particularly favored. Glaves pointed out that Leaman had suggested the name and that the Council had agreed. This did not, however, preclude a change if the Council wished to do so. Lafore suggested that the name "Corondelet" (the last governor of the area prior to the Louisiana Purchase) be used in some manner. Glaves presented some preliminary information about leasing space in City Plaza. A discussion of building extension into the right-of-way was held. A series of architectural features was discussed. These were: basement entryways, bay windows, extensions of building fronts --both at ground level and at multi- level--, and balconies. The members of the Committee felt that any of these features could be appropriate and that none should be excluded in advance. What could be done should depend on the structure itself.

It was decided to develop a separate section concerning erosion control to the Water Management Ordinance. SU"MRY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN: Issue U: ` \ Blum questioned how much area in steep slopes Iowa City actually has and what percentage of it is useable land. .. Martzahn showed a map of 10% or greater slope areas in regard to Issue U. I Geshwiler gave an example of a 15% slope which is the north facing slope on the side of Rochester (Regina north area). On the south facing slope the area could be served or developed within some standards of use. pre- Geshwiler stated that zoning these areas in advance as plannedunit developments would be another way of encouraging i preservation of the slope areas. Concentrat- Ing the developments on the high points and the low points of the slope, instead of on the slope itself, would decrease some of the problems of developing in this area and encourage the preservation of the slope. Perrot stated that the area with a steeper slope would have quicker and less chance of water run-off retention in the area. Development of the slopes would worsen the flooding problems (c.g, along Ralston Creek). Geshwiler stated that stringent standards of development should on the sloping restrict development side and push development to the flatter areas of the slope. Ncuhauscr commented that Alternative 2 provides more flexibility in developing areas. There should be standards slope for the development of the slope areas. Vetter expressed her concerns of developing on the slope area of foundation regarding the type on the slopes. She felt that if the type of soil is developing in these unstable that areas would not be wise. Nouhauser agreed that in a lot of these areas you can't have erosion control and Storm Water Management would prohibit development in these areas. 109f 141CROE I 1,141D BY JORM MICR+LAB CIDAk RAPIDS • DCS I401NCS ti -2- Blum stated by making good standard regulations that relate to Storm Water Manage - "'cut it would be permissible to develop but if it does not meet those regulations development could not occur. Heavily wooded and hilly land is extremely desirable for homes. It is valuable land, but if the City has to compensate people for taking this land it will be very expensive. Geshwiler stated that when writing up the zoning ordinance the minimum lot sizes have been set lower than what could be permitted by that density. With the new ordinance, a developer could preserve slopes and still get the same gross density. Neuhauser stated that getting the people to want to work with the ordinance instead of against it by making it attractive to the owners would make the plan more effec- tive. The committee discussed preserving the slope areas or developing them in terms of required maintenance by the City. Rachel Dennis, a guest present at the meeting commented on the use of trees on the steep slopes in regard to the water retention and erosion. hlartzahn questioned whether or not the regulations would be included in the zoning ordinance or in a separate erosion control ordinance. Blum suggested that approaching the regulation problems on the steep slopes with a separate erosion control ordinance would be more effective than including it in the zoning ordinance. Ile also suggested that there could be an Alternative 10 in Issue U for the errosion control section. A motion was made by .Jakobsen to develop a separate section in the water manage- ment ordinance concerning erosion control. Blum seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Geshwiler reviewed the format for the plan alternative tabloids that were to be originally sent out in January. lie said the plan alternatives would be basically divided into neighborhood areas. The committee decided that there would be one recommended alternative plan designed to take to the neighborhood meetings. These meetings were postponed to the week of February 13 - February 17, 1978. The recommended plan document will be mailed out to all citizens in February before the meetings. It was decided that there would be an all day meeting Saturday, January 7, 1978 to discuss other major issues and alternatives and also to discuss preliminary draft plan. The meeting adjourned. 1 Prepared by:_(fjfp, QyfiJ�7� Cate Watson, Senior Clerk/Typist Approved by: Q & ire Jako sen, for P tt Cain, CPCC Secretary M1CR01 IL141D BY DORM MICR LAB HDNl RAPIDS • DES (MOINES rr, MINUTES IOWA CITY RIVERFRONT COMMISSION CITY MANAGER'S CONFERENCE ROOM DECEMBER 4, 1977 MEMBERS PRESENT: Fahr, Fountain, Lindberg, McLaughlin, Sokol, Vetter MEMBERS ABSENT: Epley, Neuzil, Woodruff STAFF PRESENT: Frimml, Milkman GUESTS: Bernie Knight, Kay Gillies, Alice Rosenthal RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL: 1.

It was not known if anything in writing had been obtained to date. The motion to approve the Neonice Project was approved unanimously. The Rocky Shore bikeway was then discussed. A letter from Nancy Seiberling (of Project GREEN) was read and discussed. The message of the letter was to convey Project GREEN interest in the bikeway, and that they would offer plant materials to beautify the bikeway and riverbank. The bikeway was discussed with regard to: culverts, sidewalks, fencing, etc. The project is an item in the Public Works budget, as a capital improvement project. (Budget of $90,000) The bikeway would run from Normandy Drive to Highway 6, by Crandic Park. It would be 8' wide and about a 1/4 mile in length. It was emphasized that the bikeway should be properly landscaped, with professional planning assistance. Project GREEN would then contribute trees and shrubs, to beautify the area. It was questioned who would maintain the bikeway, but at this time it was unknown; it probably would be Parks and Recreation or The Public Works Department. It was sug- gested that a copy of Mrs. Seiberling's letter accompany the recom- mthat: the endation to the City Council. Lindberg moved and Fountain seconded the Rocky Shore 1Bikeway tCommission Plan. The project should include professional landscaping plans so that the City can make use of the generous offer of Project GREEN to provide plant materials. Approved unanimously.

This spurs us to give renewed atten— tion to a project long on our list as a needed aid to bicylists combined with the landscape improvement of an important entrance to Iowa Cityi a bikeway along Rock Shore Drive. We would appreciate it if the Riverfront Commission would consider initiating this project, for it is clear that more than a bikeway is involved. Riverbank protection and conservation as well as beautification should be considered in the development of a bikeway plan for this area. It seems logical to us that the Riverfront Commission might consider that such a project falls within the scope of its long range program and be willing to take steps toward obtaining a proms fessional plan. Project GREEN would be willing to assist by contributing plant materials to enhance both the bikeway and the river bank. We welcome your comments and encourage your partici— pation in this attractive project.

Dick. Plastino, Director of Public Works, Ed Brinton, Bill Lindley, and Larry Patton presented a slide show and answered questions regarding the proposed northern Ralston Creek dam site. Cilek asked how much the dam would save residents along the creek and Lindley responded that just the Hickory Hill structure would reduce the flow of water by 30%. He also added that the Scott Boulevard dam would reduce the flow approximately another 15%. Lindley stated that the dam would require approximately 18 months building time and that the area would begin to look more natural in approximately 5 years after construction. Brinton indicated that the construction of the dam was essential in order to make any minor channel changes effective. Stockman inquired how construction would be handled in a wooded area and Lindley responded that only the trees that would be damaged would be taken out with living specimens re -planted. Mascher asked if there had been a problem in other places with children drowning in a detention area after a storm. Lindley responded that there had been some problems with drownings and Plastino indicated that the detention area would be covered in the City's liability insurance in the event that a child would drown. Plastino indicated that the City would need to obtain easements from northern property owners for storage of water for an approximate maximum of 24 hours after a storm. Moore inquired what the City would do if it could not acquire the Regina (` property for the dam site and Plastino indicated that the dam would probably be built further north. Stockman expressed concern that, if the Regina property were not acquired, the dam would be built at the proposed south dam site in Hickory Hill Park. Plastino indicated that the south dam site is undesirable due to the close proximity of the Windsor Heights Addition. Discussion of open space in Village Green South. Dr. Paul Loeffelholz, President of the Village Green Home Owners' Association, was present for discussion of the green space in Village Green South. He indicated that the Association was interested in lessening or eliminating the tax liability on the green areas.

As always, I have tried to be as conservative as possible. My total budget has raised approximately 19% or 722,000. Of this only WOO is due to a raise in salaries.

I am shifting my personnel around due to changes in the office load and data processing, and thus salaries have also been adjusted. My office force has a total of 86 years of experience on the job. I started in 1952 with four people plus myself and I still have four plus myself. Other budget raises are due to various reasons. New laws make the Ward of Review meeting twice in the 1978-79 budget period, this costs us 35500. Real Estate year in 1978 costs us more in supplies, Assessment Rolls, envelopes, postage for over 15,000 new valuations to be mailed out. Approximately x8000 is due to raising extra help fund from 141000 to 312.1000. This is because of the Real Estate year. I intend to hire someone to assist me in re -appraising all industrial property for 1978. I will be available in my office at any time if you have any questions concerning my budget. Thank you for your good will in the past.
