Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 RE: Appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission Dear Councilmembers: The Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting held on March 23, discussed the problem of two new appointments to the Planning and Zoning Commission to replace two members whose terms expire May 1, 1978. Since this is a critical time period with respect to the preparation and adoption of a new Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance, the Commis- sion members felt it would be most desirable if the City Council either delayed the appointment of two new members until after adoption of the new Zoning Ordinance or reappointed the two members whose terms expire May 1 for a short period until the new Zoning Ordinance is adopted. I would be most happy to discuss this matter with,you at your conven- ience. Thank you for your consideration in this matter.

The Downtown Association is proposing a change in the current parking policy in the College -Dubuque St. lot. Rather than the current long tern parking policy, the Downtown Association is proposing a short term (3 hr. parking limit) policy. As members of the Downtown Association, we have the responsibility to see that adequate parking is available for our customers. Due to this fact, we would appreciate your immediate consider- ation of this change in policy. Sincerely, Michele Fisher, President Downtown Association MF/ml FoLEc MAR2 81978 ABBIE STOOL.

We believe this would be extremely helpful in creating a much bet- ter turnover situation, thereby increasing the availability of shop- per parking. We suggest this because the start of building the two block mall and parking ramp, will decrease considerably the number of parking spaces in the downtown area and businesses will need some innovative measures to counteract, what could be a bad situation. We will appreciate favorablE action on this request.

As a graduate student at the Univer- sity of Iowa, I have multiple occasions to frequent these places, and I therefore urge you to adopt this legislation. Several reasons prompt my request. First, there is the obvious threat to physical health which has been extensively documented in the medical literature. Second, a legal prohibition against smoking will be of great assistance to those people struggling to break the habit. In line with this, it is relevant to note that the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders published by the American Psychiatric Association will list problematic use of tobacco as a mental disorder. Thirdly, this ordinance has potential educational val- ue in that it may help to serve as a role model for generations of would- be smokers. Fourth, although the scope of this measuce is restricted, it is likely to have far reaching beneficial social consequences. Specifically, smokers who now typically assume that it is permissible to smoke at will, will find it necessary to reevaluate this assumption. Finally, there is the general nuisance factor of smoking. By this I refer to inadvertant burns of clothing and furnishings, the unpleasnnt odor collected by per- sonal clothing and human hair, soot on walls, windows and other effects, and unsightly litter found in lobbies, elevators and restrooms. Add to this the on-going costs for clean-up and maintenance, 6�L5 � 'dI CRUC ICFICU BY JORM MICR+LAB CrMl! PAP!n% .

We have been most fortunate that leaders of the past envisioned the growing need of this type of transportation, which resulted in the building of a first class airport. We believe it would be unfortunate and a disservice to those leaders before us, if we did not maintain and further develop this fine installation, to meet the needs of the future.

Scholten, Legal Intern D APR 31918 RE: Grand Daddy's Request to Open on Sunday to Minors r1 B B) F S T O L F U 5 FACI CITY CLERK GrandDaddy's, a local disco, has requested permission to open on Sundays from 3:00 to 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. Only music, dancing, and sale of non-alcoholic beverages would be provided, All liquor would be removed and locked up. Advertising would be aimed at high school ages, QLF.SPIONS 1) Whether such a use of a liquor licensed establishment is per- missible? 2) Is City Council approval necessary to put such a plan into effect? CONCLUSIONS 1) A review of the Iava Code seems to indicate that the proposal would not violate any of the liquor control provisions. Chapter 123 is generally aimed at the control of liquor and its sale, not the other permissible uses of the building (except if the building is also used for living quarters). The present Iowacity Code, however, presents some difficulties. ®5.28, "Dance Halls," requires that all patrons be at least 16 years of age unless acangvnied by a parent or guardian. The section also requires the mayor to appoint two chaperones for each dance. It is iitportant to note that this section of the Municipal Code has not been enforced in recent years, and is not included in the proposed revised code. Thus if adopted as proposed, the revised code would not bar the Sunday opening to minors. 2) Although Council approval for such a use is not explicitly required by the present or proposed Alunicipal Code, it is reeomrended that Council approval first be obtained. If the Council was not consulted on the matter and disapproved of the Sunday opening, several options may be within its discretion. a. 95.24.18H and 5.24.26 of the I.C. Code prohibit a liquor licensee from allowing dancing on the premises -unless a dancing permit is obtained. This annual permit requires Council approval. Although the Sunday opening would appa�ently not be sufficient grounds for revocation of the license 95.24.26F), it would be MICRO[ILMED BY a JORM MICRl LA9 CT'DAR OF11 ' ^f S AOI'7C` MICROFILMED BY DORM MICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS MUINLI�, iUru+ -2- within the Council's discretion to disapprove a request for renewal of the license.
