Vevera, Mayor, and TO: limbers of the City Council; City Manager; City Clerk FROM: Robert H. Bowlin, Asst. City Attorney RE: Codification We have now received three advance copies of the new municipal code of ordinances. Before we publish notice of the public hearing, I would like to invite the council members to review the codification. We ttdll have copies available in the legal departmment for your perusal; please ask if you have any questions. If changes to the printed copy are desired, I would ask that these be made by motion at the council meeting of July 11, 1978. We would then publish notice of a public hearing to be held on July 25, 1978. After that, I hope the codification will be adopted as soon as possible. I would suggest an effective date for the code of October 1, 1978. This would allow an approximately 60 - day period for the oodifier to print the adopting ordinance and ship the books to us. It will also allow us to hold familiarity sessions for those employees wilo use the code heavily before the effective date of the code. ` 141CROFILMED BY " 1 DORM MICR¢LAB CEOAP RAPIM I11'101NB r41CR0FILMED BY JORM MICROLAB P� SERVING: s- nlw T.3 CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULA IUI:iu, :J"11 G! i��iCILLCC�IJQ�i �.6C�P/ ��e� e'e2 Law and Ordinance Codification_ POST OFFICE BOX 2235 1100 CAPITAL CIRCLE S.

As expressed in the Adopting Ordinance, the Code supersedes all such ordinances not included therein or recognized as continuing in force by reference thereto. The chapters of the Code are arranged in alphabetical order and the sections within each chapter are catchlined to facilitate usage. Footnotes which tie related sections of the Code together and which refer to relevant provisions of the state law have been included. A table listing the state law citations setting forth their location within the Code volume is included at the back of this vblume. The source of each section is indicated by the history note appearing in parentheses at the end thereof. The absence of such a note indicates that the section is new and was adopted for the first time with the adoption of the Code. By use of the Comparative Table also appearing in the back of the volume, any ordinance included herein can be readily found in the Code. Numbering System The numbering system used in this Code is the same system used in many state and municipal codes. Each section number consists of two j component parts separated by a dash, the figure before the dash repre- senting the chapter number and the figure after the dash indicating the position of the section within the chapter. Thus, the first section of Chapter 1 is numbered 1-1 and the fifth section of Chapter 5 is Y• �`. Id1CROFILMED BY t JORM MICR#LA9 CFMR RARVB • MS MOVIES D MjuROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB LEUAR RAPIDS AFIU uLS AUI:iL,, ;UI-.. 5-5. Under this system each section is identified with its chapter and, at the same time, new sections or even whole chapters can be inserted in their proper places, simply by using the decimal system for amendments. By way of illustration: If new material consisting of three sections that would logically come between Sections 4-3 and 9-4 is desired to be added, such new sections would be numbered 4-3.1, 4-3.2, 4-3.3 respectively. New chapters may be included in the, same manner. If the new material is to be included between Chapters 12 and 13 it will be designated as Chapter 12.1. Care should be taken that the alphabetical arrangement of chapters is maintained when including new chapters. New articles and new divisions,may be included in the same way or, in the case of articles, may be placed at the end of the chapter embracing the subject, and, in the case of divisions, may be placed at the end of the article eanbracing the subject, the next successive number being assigned to the article or division. Index The index has been prepared with the greatest of care. Each particular item has been placed under several headings, some of the headings being couched in lay phraseology, others in legal terminology, and still others in language generally used by municipal officials and employees. There are numerous cross references within the index itself which stand as guideposts to direct the user to the particular item in which he is interested. Looseleaf Supplements A special feature of this Code is the looseleaf system of binding and supplemental service, by which the Code will be kept Y• tdILROFILMCD BY .� JORM MICR¢LAO CIfMR PAPIOS • IFS MOINES r.J!L, OF ILNEU BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAk RAPIDS AMU ULS hWiIiL�, •'�� up-to-date periodically. Upon the final passage of amendatory ordinances, they will be properly edited and the page or pages affected will be reprinted. These new pages will be distributed to the holders of the Code with instructions for the manner of inserting the new pages and deleting the obsolete pages. Each such amendment, when incorporated into the Code, may be cited as a part thereof, as provided in Section 6 of the Adopting ordinance. The successful maintenance of this Code up-to-date at all times will depend largely upon the holder of the volume. As revised sheets are received it will then become the responsibility of the holder to have the amendments inserted according to the attached instructions. It is strongly recommended by the publishers that all such amendments be inserted immediately upon receipt to avoid misplacing them and, in addition, that all deleted pages be saved and filed for historical reference purposes. Acknowledgments The publication of this Code was under the direct supervision of I George R. Langford, President and James S. Vaught, Editor, of Municipal i i Code Corporation, Tallahassee, Florida. Credit is gratefully given to the other members of the publisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout the project.

G.• ..,f, RAI DATE: April 5, 1978 THE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL; 10: CITY MANAGER FROM: ROBERT H. ROWLIN, ASST. CITY ATTORNEY RE: ADOPTION OF NEW IOWA CITY CODE OF ORDINANCES Dear Mayor Vevera and Members of the City Council: I am pleased to inform you that Jim Vaught, our code editor, advises that three final advance copies of the new Iowa City Code of Ordinances should be arriving around May 1, 1978. The purpose of this memorandum is to inform you of a procedure for the adoption of the Code of Ordinances. The applicable statute is chapter 380.8, 1977 Code of Iowa, which reads as follows: 380.8 Code of ordinances published. At least once every five years, a city shall compile a code of ordinances con- taining all of the city ordinances in effect, except grade ordinances, bond ordinances, zoning ordinances, and ordi- nances vacating streets and alleys. If a proposed code of ordinances contains only existing ordinances edited and compiled without change in substance, the council may adopt the code by ordinance. If a proposed code of ordinances contains a proposed new ordinance or amendment, the council shall hold a public hearing on the proposed code before adoption. The clerk shall publish notice of the hearing as pro- vided in section 362.3. Copies of the proposed code of ordinances must be available at the city clerk's office and the notice must so state. Within thirty days after the hearing, the council may adopt the proposed code of ordinances which becomes law upon publication of the ordinance adopting it. If the council substantially amends the proposed code of or- dinances after a hearing, notice and hearing must be repeated. �;.. • �::A :41CROFILMED ar I '1 JORM MICR+LAB Cf DAR RAPIDS • DFS MOINES r41LRW ILMLO BY JORM LIICROLAB CEUAR RAVIUS AND JLr'.c;i L , _2- Ordinances and amendments which become effective after adoption of a code of ordinances may be compiled as supplements to the code, and upon adoption of the supplement by resolution, become part of the code of ordinances. An adopted code of ordinances is pre- sumptive evidence of the passage, publi- cation, and content of the ordinances therein as of the date of the clerk's certification of the ordinance adopting the code or supplement. Upon receipt of the advance copies of the Code, I would advise that .m the Council should review the Code to see if there is anything in it that it wishes to change. If so, amendments to the copies can be made by motion at a council meeting. For the sake of expediting this process I would urge you, at this stage, to resist wholesale changes, although they can be made if you wish. This codification ends with ordinance no. 2855; therefore, all ordinances adopted after no. 2855 will appear in the first supplement; the first supplement should be available about two months after the adoption of the Code. j It will be necessary for us to hold a public hearing on the Code as it contains some new matter. You will be advised of sections where there has been substantial rewriting before you begin this process. For the most part, the legal staff has left the city's ordinances absolutely intact; however, we have not hesitated to rewrite certain sections where we thought that substantial problems existed (e.g., the disorderly conduct section, where the "due process explosion" has rendered much of our present ordinance I unconstitutional). In making the changes we believed advisable, we consulteAc with the departments involved. Once the Council is satisfied with the language in the advance copy, then we will publish notice of the public hearing and hold the hearing. After the hearing, if there are no substantial changes, the Council may adopt the Code by ordinance. This ordinance will be furnished to us by the Municipal Code Corporation, and will contain a number of useful general sections and definitions. After adoption, the adopting ordinance will be returned to the codifier for inclusion with the rest of the Code. Further supplements, since they contain no new matter, can be adopted by resolution. At this point we are anticipating that we will have a supple- ment every three months or so. I would be pleased to answer any questions you may have concerning this process. nlcnoFawto By JORM MICR4LAB gnAII HAPInS • nES HnINFS M MILRUFILMLD BY JORM MICROLAB LLDAR RAPIDS AND LJLS:IUI:n.,, .JV01 City ®4 8®viva CU, DATE: June 29, 1978 TO: Neal Berlin and City Council FROM: Richard J. Plastino, Director of Public Works \J\.\ RE: Status of the South Branch Detention Structure on Ralston Creek The City's Consultant (Stanley Engineering) has completed the Environmental Review Record for the Ralston Creek south branch detention structure. Council recevied this report on May 18, 1978. The City has published notice of no significant impact and the comment period has passed with no comment. The plan of action for the next several months is as follows: 1. July, 1978 - Interview engineering consultants for construction plans and property surveys, 2. August, 1978 - Begin construction plans and property acquisition procedures. 3. September—March, 1978-79 - Proceed with property acquisition. 4. April—June, 1979 - hold public hearing and bid project. S. Summer of 1979 - Construct dam. The four property owners involved in this project are familiar with the general scope of the project. As property acquisition and design move along concurrently the property owners will be made thoroughly familiar with the project. Design is being started immediately so that discussions can be held with the property owners about the exact details and impact on their land. Initially, the City will seek outright acquisition of all the land required. If a property owner prefers casements, the City will be agreeable to this. Public Works will proceed on the above schedule unless advised otherwise by Council. cc: File #18 Julie Vann 1 MICROFILMLD BY JORNA MICR+LAB CEDAR PAP@S. • PFS MOINFS )-?`l,6 QjLkUFILMLD BY JORM MICROLAB LEUAR RAPIDS AND ULS City of Iowa Cit, MEMORANDUM DATE: June 27, 1978 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Counc1l FROM: James Brachtel, Traffic EngineerC,�� RE: Parking Prohibition on 900 Block, South Clark Street As directed by 6.02.01 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City this is to advise you of the following action: ACTION: Pursuant to Section 6.14.06 the City Traffic Engineer will direct that signs be installed so as to prohibit parking at all times on the west side of Clark Street from the intersection of Clark Street with Walnut Street north and the intersection of Clark Street with the railroad right-of-way, effective July 11, 1978.

This does not include the Iowa House as it would be exempted from the hotel/motel tax. Redevelopment's survey indicated a year-round occupancy rate of between 74%-84% for high occupancy motels and an occupancy rate of 55.6% for other motels (the survey included the entire Iowa City- Coralville area). The survey set the average room rate for two persons to be $15.83. In discussing this with Ed Allen of the League of Iowa Municipalities, I found that for the Iowa City-Coralville area the League was using an occupancy rate of 60% and an average room rate of $17.00. Since approximately 85% of the motel rooms within Iowa City have rates of over $20.00 and a high occupancy rate my computations of potential tax revenue are based upon a conservative room rate of $19.00 and an occupancy rate of 75%. These computations do not include rooms in rooming houses which will also be sub3ect to the tax; this information was not available and would most likely have a minimal effect upon the total tax. Using the above assumptions the potential tax revenue is as follows: Tax Rate Tax Revenue 5% $ 55,133 7% $ 77,186 The hotel to be constructed in the CBD will have approximately 140 rooms and is scheduled for completion in 1980.

DfS MOPIF5 Ji�ifUrlLi4iU BY JORf4 f41CROLAb LLUAt RAVIU�, AIIU 18 f What's Wrong With (.ahor Organized labor Is mourning the failure of Its pet labor law "reform' bill to get through the Senate las week. But, in. our view, It has eve greater cause to worry about events Las Vegas this week, where a major public employe union is declaring war on the taxpayers. Labor's present weakness, and par- ticularly the weakness of the AFI. CIO, does not derive from legal Inhibi. tions against union organizing, which the "reform" bill was supposed to re- lieve. The National Labor Relations Act and its creation, the National La. bor Relations Board, offer unlons the protections they need to obtain fairly conducted elections and to represent their members. If labor Is to solve its problems— and we are not wholly unsympathetic to Its efforts—it would fare better by looking Inward rather than trying to win more and more legal assistance. Having said that, we would have to say that what it sees when It looks in. ward might prove to be rather fright- ening. Libor's slippage, of course, has been well documented. It lost 5470 of Its secret ballot elections last year. It now loses over 7570 of decertification elections, which have tripled in num- ber in the last decade. Union members are a declining share of the work force, down to something over one- fifth. Labor leaders have suffered even more in public esteem, various polls show, than have politicians. In some cases, the low esteem Is deserved. The Teamsters are not part of the AFL- CIO, but the gangster elements to be found In that union tact a sinister re• flection on labor generally. The unnec• essarlly protracted coal strike last winter could be traced In part to Inept leadership of the United Mine Work• ers, although management and guv ernment are not blameless either, We suspect, however, that the diffi. culties of organized labor In getting workers to sign a union card have other causes. The very success of the labor movement in the U.S. may be one. The mere threat of unionization has caused many nonunion employers to enrich pay and benefits to their work• ers, which means that many workers draw union pay without paying union dues. But the most serious problem fa Ing labor, we think, Is on dispiny at the convention of State, County and Municipal Employes In Las Vegas this week. The AFSCME, led . by Jerry Wurf, recently became the largest AFL-CIO union. Public emplope unions are the fastest growing se ment of organized labor. J In Las Vegas, Mr. WurCs union Is focusing on how It can defeat the tax- payer revolt, which of course alms to cut back on public expenditure. Public employe unions are organizing to use their political muscle and make bud• get cuts unpleasant through strikes and slowdowns. The only trouble with that, from the AFL-CIO's point of view. Is that union members are tax• payers too. This presents the AFL-CIO with a dilemma. Workers In the private sec- tor are suffering from inflation. A ma- jor cause of Inflation, and the direct cause of rising taxation, Is expansion of the public sector. Should the AFL. CIO push for more public sector jobs and benefits at the expense of private sector employes? Or should It try to restrain the public sector on behalf of private employes? There is no easy answer. With George Meany so far advanced In years, we suspect that the AFL-CIO may someday soon become a battle- ground between these two competing interests as new forces seek to assume leadership of the union. If the public employes win, the federation will move further than it already has to. ward Washington -based centrism that has little to offer the factory worker In Atlanta. And a federation doral• nated by such unionists would be likely to try to hold the private sector unions by catering to their worst In- stincts—the urge for Import protec- tions. While all of us probably have par• titular blind spots, private labor unions have by and large been a pow- erful force against statism. They have done much better than business corpo- rations, for example, In opposing wage and price controls, Because watching how unions are treated abroad gives them a quick under• standing of what freedom Is all about, they have been a sturdy force in for. elgn policy. Along with the historical contribution to the welfare of workers, these are powerful arguments for strong, healthy unionism, The solution to labor's dilemma may ultimately be a schism between private and public employe unionism. It would be better if the AFL-CIO faced up to its Internal conflicts and contradictions stoner rather than Luer. :410101ILId10 BY JORM MICR46LAB MAP 11,41T • `IrS MOINfS /30o Mil,Rui lLMLU BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AMD DLS 'Jell' City o4 Iowa Cil MEMORANDUM DATE: July 6, 1978 TO: City Council FROM: City Manager RE: Meeting Schedule and Informal Agenda July 10, 1978 Monday 1:30 - 5:00 P.M. 1:30 P.M. - Executive Session to consider appointments to Housing Commission 1:40 P.M. - Review zoning applications. 2:10 P.M. - Discuss Council agenda and Council time. a.

The attached information indicates that Iowa City has a relatively high percentage of commercial property when related to the total tax base. Only two other Iowa cities (Des Moines and West Des Moines) have greater commercial percentages. While most of this is probably due to a high number of apartment units, it certainly makes a major statement concerning the amount of property tax borne by the family occupied home. Also, the percentage of residential property (53.27X) is lower than has been generally assumed. In sixteen other of the major cities, the tax burden borne by residential property is a higher percentage of the property tax than in Iowa City, However, it is clear that a comparison of industrial Valuation to total property is still very low. bcl/6 141CROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB MAR RAPIDS • DES MOMS /30/ 14]CROFIL14ED BY JORM MIC R+LAB CFDAR R(,oIRS nFS '•I()1`!FS MICROFILMED BY JORM I4ICROLAB CLDAk RAPIDS AND OLS 11uI:IL .u. t.. .. - 'C.' k4: IdICRO FILI?ED BY ! 4 JORM MICR+LAE CFRAR RAPIDS • DFS I101NF.S 9 CITY ^F R° "{`nLial Lu Total Itnal Promrty 6 of Commercial to Total Real Property of industrial to Tota].

Your assistance is needed to implement the provisions and to inform your patrons. The purpose of this letter is to provide informa- tion which will assist you with local as well as State compliance. The Municipal Code provides that as the proprietor you are responsible far: a. Posting the appropriate "no smoking" signs. b. Arranging seating to provide smoke-free areas, and C. Informing any person observed violating the ordinance that smoking is prohibited except in designated areas. Areas shall be designated as follows: a. Bars, restaurants b. Retail, commercial establishments C. Other businesses 25% minimum no -smoking of the permanent seating (tables and booths only) 25% maximum smoking 50% maximum smoking Of course, any proprietor who wishes to create a larger "no smoking" area than specified in the ordinance may do so. However, no building or area may be designated for smoking if prohibited by the Fire Marshal or other law. In areas that have been designated as smoking areas, physical barriers and ventilation systems should be utilized to minimize the toxic effect of smoke. One side of the room may be designated as a no -smoking area in public places which consist of a single room. The State Code provides that air, railroad, bus or other passenger car- riers departing in this State must provide a no -smoking area of suf- ficient capacity to accommodate all persons who do not wish to be seated in a smoking area.

This action was prompted by the veterans' great concern for maintaining "Old Jet" as a memorial. It is my understanding that the veterans' groups were reluctant to sign the agreement because of the insurance requirements. On May 4, 1978, you were notified by letter that the insurance requirement had been deleted from the agreement. Almost two months have passed since that information was provided to you. Unless the executed agreement is returned at an early date, the City Council and the Airport Commission will have to conclude that Iowa City's veterans are not interested in maintaining "Old Jet" as a me- morial. It is hoped that this matter will be satisfactorily concluded without additional delay. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sin er y, Neal G.

Kucharzak, Director, Housing & Inspection Services FROM: Glenn Siders, Senior Building Inspector RE: Compliance with Tree Ordinance 6� This memo is in response to a memo directed to you from the City Manager dated June 5, 1978 inquiring about the status of all buildings that have to comply with the Iowa City Tree Ordinance since the effective date of the ordinance. On November 16, 1976, the Iowa City Tree Ordinance was published in the Iowa City Press Citizen and did take effect on that day. From that date until June 15, 1978 there have been 1,031 building permits issued of which 53 total permits have had to comply with the Iowa City Tree Ordinance. The status of compliance with the Tree Ordinance for these 53 permits you will find attached to this memo and broken down as such. 1. The type of occupancy is denoted. 2. The address upon which the structure is located is indicated. 3. The survey denotes whether or not the structure complies with the Tree Ordinance. 4. The survey denotes whether or not a certificate for this structure has been issued. 5. The survey denotes whether or not a violation letter has been issued and if so the date of compliance. 6. Survey indicates whether or not a violation letter will be sent out and if so the date of compliance. 7. The survey indicates whether or not the project is still under construction. I must afford my apologies for not meeting the June 19th. deadline date that Mr. Berlin projected however, I might take this opportunity to say that it did consume over 24 manhours to prepare this document at a cost of $200.00 which does not include the cost of paper itself, xerox copies, e tc. 1 would like to take this opportunity to suggest that possibly a different filing system may be in order but would be somewhat difficult to set up. For example, if we were on a computer system that had a complete readout of the status of any jobsite in Iowa City indexed by street address, this information would have taken approximately 2 hours to gather at a savings of approximately $175.00 not including the cost of the computer itself. If the information provided is not conclusive enough please do not hesitate to contact me and I will obtain the information needed. •�'� :1ICROEILMED BY JORM MICRf LAB CEDM1R ItAPI�S OEt MOPIFS Is cy n MICROFILMED BY JORM 141CROLAB CEDAR RAPIUS AND UES HUi;iL�1, ,un.. , ULMIUii VIULAI 1UN un ER OCCUPANCY ADDRESS ^ i ,e CERTIFICATEjLETTER OUT OF DAT- E 0� OCCUPANCY iCOMPLIANCE LETTER TO TO BE SENT DATE OF COMP.

On May 10, the City issued a solicitation of offers to purchase Urban Renewal parcel 93-3. This is the small parcel located at the corner of Madison and Court Streets. Offers were opened on June 12, and two offers were received. Offers were submitted by: I� (1) The Breese Co., Inc. I j (2) Robert E. and Anna M. Rath 2. In both cases, the offerors submitted to the City the offer and the redevelopment contract with no changes. I have therefore not duplicated the entire contract jforms for distribution. Attached to this memorandum is a summary comparing the two offers. 3. The staff has reviewed both offers. As shown on the attached summary, the magnitude of the development proposed by the Raths is considerably greater than that proposed by the Breese Co. While the offer submitted by the Breese Co. does indicate they may build an addition at some future date, this does not obligate them to do so. The Rath proposal, on the other hand, calls for constructing a two story structure in the near future. i 4. Because CBS zoning does not require off-street parking for a non -auto -oriented f commercial use, it may be desirable to consider some half-hour or one hour meters to replace the ten hour meters adjacent to this parcel, once it is developed. The Rath proposal contemplates office use on the second story, but states that two apartments might be constructed instead. If so, three parking spaces would be required under the existing zoning. There would be sufficient space for this parking. The current language of the zoning ordinance however, precludes two apartments over a commercial first floor in the CBS zone. Section 8.10.3A(23) defines a DWELLING as "A building or portion thereof which is designated or used for a residential purpose." Section 8.10.3A(26) defines DWELLING -TWO FMIILY as "A dwelling that contains two separate living units." By strict interpretation, two apartments on the second floor constitutes two separate living units in a portion of a building and this is a DWELLING -TWO FMIILY . 1,306 `: MICROFILM[D BY i, JORM MICR+LAE CEDAR RAPID$ • M MDINFS MILROFILMED BY JORM 14ICROLAB members of the City Council July 3,'1978 Page 2 CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS 'MOINLj, ul- Section 8.10.14a (CBS Zone Use Regulations) allows Mul-tiple Dwellings (more than two separate living units) but not a Dwelling -Two Family. There is no reason why two apartments located above the ground floor in a mixed use building are any less desirable than three or more such apartments. The staff does not believe that two apartments above a ground floor commercial use were intended to be defined as a duplex, any more than one such apartment should be considered a single family dwelling. Accordingly, should the Raths, if selected, wish to pursue the inclusion of two apartments, the staff will prepare an amendment to clarify the intent of the ordinance. 5. The staff recommends the designation of Robert E. and Anna M. Rath as the preferred redevelopers of Parcel 93-3. A Resolution doing so is included on the agenda for the Council meeting of July 11. I will be glad to discuss this matter during the discussion of agenda items at the informal session July 10.

The developers intend to construct a two-story building approximately 72 feet by 36 feet. The ground floor would include a beauty salon operated by the developers, as well as office space for one or more businesses. It is contem- plated that the second floor would be used for office space as well, but there could be a possibility that the second floor would be made into two (2) separate two-bedroom apartments. The developers have made tentative arrangements with Wicks i for constructing the two-story exterior building. Burger Cons- truction would do the remaining work in the interior of the build- ing. COST -FINANCING It is estimated that the total cost of the building will be approximately $100,000.00 The developers will have initial equity of $15,000 to $25,000.00 depending on how much is required. Financing will be obtained through West Branch State Bank or Beller- Apex Financial Service.

On November 22, 1977, the City Council, by Resolution No. 77-446, approved the preliminary design plans for redevelopment on Urban Renewal Parcels 93-1/101-2. That resolution, however, reserved the right to review signage and lighting at a later date. The lighting plan for Pentacrest Garden Apartments was provided to the staff, and was submitted to the Design Review Committee. The Design Review Committee reviewed the lighting plan at its meeting of June 28, 1978. The Design Review Committee did not approve of the lighting plan as submitted. Three types of lights were proposed by the redeveloper: A. 400 watt pole mounted in 24 inch acrylic globes were proposed for lighting the parking areas. B. 400 watt roof mounted floodlights were proposed to light the open space between the buildings. C. 150 watt area lights mounted to the building were proposed to light the walkways around the buildings. The Design Review Committee had no objection to the walkway lighting as proposed. The Committee did, however, have objections to both the parking area lighting and the open space lighting. The Committee felt that the 400 watt light in an unshielded fixture would be annoyingly bright at short distances. The globe fixture would be acceptable at a reduced wattage (the 24 inch globe is available at 250 watts and an 18 inch globe fixture is available at either 100 watt or 175 watt). Alternately a 400 watt light would be acceptable but only in a shielded fixture. The roof mounted floodlights were unacceptable to the Design Review Committee. The Committee recommends that the lights used to light the parking area (subject to the same recommendations as above) be used to light the open space area between the buildings. 2. A resolution to approve the lighting plans for Pentacrest Garden Apartments is included on the agenda of July 11, 1978. Attachment A to this resolution required that the wattage of the globe fixtures be reduced or that a shielded fixture be used. The attachment also requires that the roof mounted floodlights not be used and the open space area to be lighted with the same fixtures used to light the parking area. A copy of the catalog information regarding these lights is attached to this memorandum. MICWILnED BY JORM MICR+LAS ' CEDAR PAPIaS .

Capitol States Associates, the developer of Urban Renewal Parcel 103-3, has sub- mitted preliminary design plans for Capitol House, the elderly housing project located on this parcel. These plans have been reviewed by the staff and by the Design Review Committee. The Design Review Committee, at its meeting of June 28, 1978, approved the preliminary design plans as submitted. The structure will be a six -story building, with precast concrete structural systems. The windows will be aluminum framed, horizontal sliding, and the exterior walls will be precast concrete and precast synthetic plaster. The aluminum windows are available in various colors,,as is the synthetic plaster. The precast concrete can be stained various colors also. The Design Review Committee stated a preference for the lighter, natural tones of both the concrete and the plaster. They specifically do not want blues or yellows, which would be incompatible with surrounding structures, particularly the Catholic church. A resolution approving the preliminary design plans is included on the agenda of July 11. Attachment A to this resolution sets forth the reservations of the Design Review Committee. No formal presentation by the architects to the City Council is scheduled. Mounted drawings of the project are available and will be placed in the Council room during the informal session on Monday, July 10. 2. The site plan as submitted does not fully comply with all local ordinances. Specifically, the number of parking spaces, while adequate for the development, does not comply with the parking requirement of the Zoning Ordinance. Also, because of the placement of the L-shaped building on the lot, the site plan does not meet the current side and front yard requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Ordinance No. 78-2787, adopted by the City Council on April 4, 1978, provided specific zoning provisions for the construction of elderly housing in the CB zone. However, these provisions were not made applicable in the CBS zone. An amendment to the Zoning Ordinance, incorporating, where applicable, the same provisions as apply in the CB zone has been prepared and is being submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission for their consideration. The minimum lot area per dwelling which will be specified in the CBS zone will be more restrictive than in the CB zone (300 sq. ft. per dwelling unit rather than 100 sq, ft.). Additionally, a greater number of parking spaces per elderly dwelling unit will be required in the CBS zone than in the CB zone (one space per 2 dwelling units rather than one space per 4 dwelling units). 3. 'file above comments notwithstanding, the staff recommends approval of the prelimi- nary design plans submitted by Capitol States Associates. The recommended amendment to the Zoning Ordinance will be taken under consideration by the Planning and Zoning Commission, and an LSRD plan will be required also. The above noted zoning discrepancies will be resolved by a zoning amendment and/or the approval of the LSRD. /308 r `!` IIICROFIL14ED BY + JORM MICR+LA9 CEDAR RAPIP° • Rf.S I401aCS i MiLRUfiLi4LU BY JORM MICRULAB TO: FROM: RE: CLUAR RAVWy AND uL� City of Iowa City MEMO AND M DATE: June 7, 1978• \�eal Berlin anReas Vitosh Mel Jones Property Tax IIJ A comparison of FY78 and FY79 tax levies show that the City, county, and area schools will be increasing their tax levies per thousand.

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Subject: Long-term Leases at Airport Dear John: One of the ways that the Iowa City Airport Commission could in- crease revenues (and therefore decrease the need for -:tax monies) is by leasing some of its property (not otherwise required for airport operations) to private industrial or commerical firms. This has been done in other communities (Rockford, Illinois, for example) and provides valuable long-term income to an airport commission or authority. There are three areas at the Iowa City Airport which would be available for such a leasing arrangement: north of the Re - (1) an area on the west side of Highway 218, Re- serve Training Center (south of Old Jet) which would be a good location for a restaurant. A restaurant near the air- port terminal would also be handy for transient pilots and passengers. (2) an area on the east side of Highway 218 south of the City's Maintenance Garage. (3) a 34 -acre parcel on the northwest side of the airport; this area has access to Highway 1 via an easement, andlmight be a valuable site for aviation -oriented industries (electronics or medical supplies, for instance). tom. C}r 141CRORILMEO BY JORM MICR+LAE3 CEDAR RAPIDS • OFS MOIRES f•LILRUO ILMLU BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND UES AUI;iL_,, •Jill' This 34 -acres could be divided into four separate plots (8 acres reportedly is an ideal plot size for attracting light industry), each accessible to the access road, and to North-South runway 17-35, so that airport operations from each plot would be possible. The 34 -acre parcel has been cited in past reports as an ideal site for some types of industry, but little has been done to promote the site because of a lack of money. Some council members have expressed an opinion that, if used for other purposes, the property should be transferred to the city so property tax revenues could be realized. There are complications with this approach because of the federal and state funds that originally wont into the airport, which must revert to the airport if sold (witness the land sold to the D.O.T. along Highway 218). The approach favored by the Commission is to keep the property under control of the Airport Commission (particularly since the industry would be aviation -oriented, and would be connected to the runways in the case of the 34 -acre parcel). We propose an I annual lease for this property with the charge comparable to what ss the property tax, plus the amorization rate would be if the land I had been purchased. We feel that any lease will have to be at least 50 years duration to assure a return -on -investment for any lessee, and to enable the lessee to secure financing. One possible approach would be to have the parcel appraised by a team of AIA appraisers, then charge the j lessee with an annual charge based on a percentage of the appraised value; a lease rate equal to about 10% of the appraised value would be reasonable (8% for the cost of money which the lessee would not have to supply if he purchased the land, and 2% as a $property tax equivalent"). The property tax equivalent could take into account the value of any buildings erected on the property.

The following changes were made in the ordinance by the Advisory Staff per input from CATV applicants and interested citizens at the } CATV public hearing June 28, 1978. a. Section 14-67 (11) p. 22 was amended to read: Upgrading of facilities, equipment and service. The Grantee shall upgrade its facilities, equipment and service as subscribers demands dictate so that its network is as advanced as the current state of technology and reasonable economic stability will allow. b. Section 14-76 p. .53 was amended by inserting at the end of subsection (1) (a): Installation charges shall not be charged when the premises are already wired. C. Section 14-76 p. 53, subsection (e) Transfer within service area was deleted. Therefore, subsection (f) Disconnection becomes subsection (e). d. Section 14-82 Performance Measurements, subsection (3)(a) was amended to read: (a) Require additional tests for cause at specific terminal locations at expense of the Grantee and, i e. Section 14-85 subsection (6) p. 80, sentence number four and five were amended to read: bdw3/l All installations shall be underground in those areas of the City where public utilities providing telephone and electricity are underground at the time of installation. lr areae where either telephone or electric utility facilities are aboveground at the time of installation, the Grantee may install its service aboveground provided that at such time as those facilities are required to be placed underground, the Grantee shall likewise place its services underground without additional cost to the City or to the residents of the City other than as may be granted under the provisions of section 14-76.

Six new members were recruited to begin two year terms in July, giving us a full Board for the first time. The Board represents a large diversity of community interests, occupations and areas of expertise and we are looking forward to a very active and productive year. The national Big Brothers/Big Sisters organization has redefined the service areas for Southeast Iowa, designating Iowa City as the headquarters of a six -county region. This change was made in order to allow the PAIS Program to function auton- omously if and when we affiliate with the national. (Iowa City had previously been included in the Muscatine service area). We have received no other information from the national regarding our application for affiliation. Donations from the Optimist Club this quarter were used to pay the fee for regional coordinator training, to rent training films for the orientations, to provide insurance for the group outing, and to purchase business cards for the coordinator. Local organizations, and businesses offered their support through in- kind donations such as free tickets for events and sponsoring activities. Media coverage has been very good this past quarter. Taped spots were run regularly on four local radio stations, two stations provided half hour interviews, The Press -Citizen ran two feature articles with pictures, and announcements of Orientations were carried by a nwnber of local papers, newsletters and radio stations. A total of 28 volunteer inquiries were made during this quarter, 15 female, 13 male. Of the 28, 12 attended orientations, 9 will be notified for the July Orientation, and 7 chose not to join the program. Of the 12 prospective volunteers that attended orientation, the breakdawn is as follows: 1have not suIrdtted applications 2 r �,n1e 5 not accepted 1 in process 2 matched l 1 *(Sole of those who have not Yet sulynitted applications might send them in later). The number of volunteers to attend orientations as well as the ratio of completed applications is about the same as .last quarter. We expect fewer inquiries during the summer months. Tha average length of hutch - both c+cisting and at termination - is now at 17 months, continuing the trend toward stronger matches. Trends of greater com- munity interest and fewer individual volunteers entering into the program have also continued. In summary, this quarter has lien one of transition and change, working towards better organization and greater accountability for the program. The major stress of the program continues to be strong, quality matches, which requires emphasis on thorough screening and interviewing as well as consistent support for existing matches.

Bob Lee, Superintendent of Recreation re: Early Trial Opening of Center date ; July 6, 1978 Swimming Pool The Parks and Recreation Commission has reviewed the results of the trial early opening of the Recreation Center swimming pool and asks that I advise you of their conclusions. At the April Commission meeting which you attended it was decided to open the pool at 8:30 a.m. rather than 9:00 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays for the balance of the spring season through June 1. The early opening tended to spread out the participant use and not increase the overall attendance. a The average attendance between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. was 7.46 people while the attendance after 9:00 a.m. dropped to a 9.7 average for the same period „ a of time. These numbers would negate the advisability of additional hours at this time. Although the attendance started out good (12 people) at 8:30 a.m., it gradually decreased to four or five people. The Commission is, therefore, accepting the staff's recommendation that the 8:30 a.m. opening time not be continued in the fall. You may be interested in knowing that, in addition to the lap swimming possibilities of which you are already aware, the time from 4:30 to 6:00 p.m. at the Recreation Center has not been too crowded thus permitting ease of I lap swimming. /ef q;.... tr:.. � IdICROFILMF.O OY JORM MICR+LAB CFDAR VAN DS • DES MOINES 1314 WICROFILMLD BY JORM MICROLAB parks & recreation department CEDAR RAPIDS AND OLS PIU!k. , ,uN,l MEMO 60: Mayor Vevera and City Council Neal Berlin, City Manager from.

Theprogram theme was "Living Plant Collections - Accident or Design?" The papers presented were from an extremely interesting cross section of people from all across the U.S., Canada, and Europe and from large, well-known botanical gardens as well as from small, new arboretums. Most of the talks were very informative and helpful. I found the directors from even the largest, most elite arboretums to be very encouraging and helpful when informed of the City of Iowa City's endeavor. The papers and tours listed below are some which I believe are particularly pertinent to the City of Iowa City's situation. Joseph Ewan - Professor, Tulane University "Historical Overview of Living Plant Collections" Size is not critical; small can be effective. Reference library is extremely important. John L. Creech - U.S. National Arboretum (Washington, D.C.) "Setting Tomorrow's Objectives Today" The master plan is essential; plan it well and follow it. External review is very important. Early in the development of an arboretum, a Task Force should be assigned. Could consist of people from Planning Department, Parks, interested public groups, etc. This group would review beneficial effects, risks, alternatives, etc. Be sure to check into the National Register of Historic Preservation; this protects land against encroachment and is a source of grants and aid. Peter W. Bristol - Holden Arboretum "Developmental Planning - Why Have an Arboretum?" For the public - for entertainment, relaxation, and knowledge. Arboretum must have function; the collection must have a plan, it must incorporate the past and the future. i Peter H. Raven - Missouri Botanical Garden "Aesthetics vs. Systematics vs. Use" Combine landscape values and educational values. Simplify. j Roy Mecklenburg - Chicago Botanical Garden "Economics of Collections" We have collections for educational and aesthetic values. Things that determine cost: design, stage of growth (size of plants), site modification, maintenance costs (project costs out, have maintenance program). Be realistic. Robert Bicklehaupt - Bicklehaupt Arboretum "Minimizing Maintenance" Save steps, eliminate trim mowing, save energy. Tour.- Royal Botanical Gardens Very beautiful, mature botanical garden.

YIhir.k. .Qt'RNAL, WEDNESDAY, WNE 28, 1978 The Meaning of Proposition 13 By IRVING KANTUL Having just spent a couple of weeks in a California suburb, 1 had a ringside seal train which to observe the turmoil created by the passage of Proposition 13. It was a fasclnaung experience. For the first time one could witness a direct confrontation be. sweets middle-class Americans and the pol- lucians who preside over the ever -expand. I Ing public sector. The politicians, utterly confident they had been riding the "wave of the future," lost badly and gracelessly. They still cannot understand why or how It j happened. 1 also find, on returning to New York, [flat many of our professional interpreters of the social scene don't quite understand it either 'rhey see little more than a self. serving eti of the "affluent" against goveimm-ni spending which favors the (mor and Unfortunate. But that is not what Proposition 13 was about at all. To begun with, it is ridiculous to talk as if all government services were of primary benefit to the pair. Summer schools, for in. stance, now closed In California, may to useful to some poor kids, but they are no less useful to children of the middle class, and they are beyond elf doubt profitable to middle-class teachers. There are precious few social programs that•do not massively benefit nuddle-class professionals of all kinds -which is hardly surprising, since It is these professionals who devised those programs in the first place. . Who Is 'Poor'? Moreover, there are far fewer truly fair people In this country than the con• ventional statistics suggest. The greatest distortion results from neglecting the fac. tor of age. A couple of married graduate students who are "making do" on an In- come, say, of 51,00 a year may frequently be broke, but they are In no sense "pour" -nor do they so regard themselves. Pose. erty in a society such as ours Is not merely L function of money income. Prospects are al least equally Impriant.

But the after-tax Income of the homeowner has surely not trebled -the progressive Income tax, federal and state. plus Increased Social Security taxes, see to that. So what Is the homeowner to do? From a purely "economic" point of view•, the rational Using for him to do Is to sell his house, realize his capl{al gain, and live elsewhere more cheaply. Sul where is elsewhere? It Is not In California, where Ire can no more afford to buy (or rent) than he could support his original residence. He can, it is true, migrate along with his money to South Dakota, where real "Lite values are much lower. But for some re,i- son or other Californians seem strongly disinclined to move to South Dakota. They prefer something like Proposition 13. fn a sense, then, Proposition 13 was a vote against Inflation -and especially the unholy alliance of Inflation, deficit sprod- Ing and Increased Vacation. A cynic won](] note that, find specific cuts In government spending been defined, that majority could easily have fallen apart. But the vours Knew that well enough -which Is why they left it to the pullticlans to make the hand and controversial decisions. Isn't that what politicians are for? _ - Wjml rmuly ma Is unis ing is that Call forma's state government did net see this tax rebellion coming or do something to forestall It, It was sitting on a $5 billion .surplus, after all, sit It was In a eondorta• hde position to cut the Income tau, or the sates taxa or the property lax, or some rombbmnon of all three.

If there was gomg to be any tax cut at all. It was evident that only a "meat ax" could do the job. Once passage of Proposition 13 became a possibility, politicians reacted with a fury matched only by their own demagogy, Dismissal notices were sent to all leachers, contingent an the outcome of the referen• dum. Wbrarles and hospitals put up closing notices, with tin sone contingency clause. Rarely has there been such a disgusting episode In American state polltics-one In which politicians, fighting for control over their constituents' money, lied and threat- ened and lobbied without scruple. It was a new kind of class war -the people as eltl- zea versus the politicians and their clients in the public sector. And the people won. Now that Proposition 13 Is law and the politicians are having to live with It, It is becoming clear that the effects will act be nearly as painful as had been predicted. The welfare population will be but mini- mally affected, suffering only the loss of a cost•of-living Increase to welfare rates that aro the nation's highest. The major groups that will be adversely affected are the pub- lic employes, whose unions had been granted high wages and exceedingly gener- ous pension agreements, (Half of Los An- geles real estate taxes go to pay for such peaslons.) There Is no way In which the politicians could be persuaded to stand up to those unions without something like Proposition 13 to provide the necessary backbone. There will be some mrmoll, even a few strikes -but If the money sim- ply isn't there, the politicians cannot spend j it.

As a consequence, there will certainly be efforts to mise taxes on business, to "compensate" local govern- ments for lost revenues. San Francisco has already moved In this direction -which will hasten the decline that city Is already ex- pedencing, and be a further stimulus to now-bonm!ng Reno, not far across the state bottler.

I think they are right about this, if about nothing else. That Is In- deed what Proposition 13 was ultimately aunts: economic growth In a free society vs. the alincatlon of Income and wealth by government in a stagnant economy- As conomy.A r.

It was decided to combine these subjects, with a separate section for each, into one profile. A title for this volume will be worked out at a later date. Staff will begin to get together material for the first sections of this profile which include: Service Area Description, Problem Description, Population Served and Services provided. Larry Bonander, the project's summer intern, has been asked to do this for Foster Care while Sally Baldus will work on Day Care Centers and Homes. The subcommittee then went over its material on Family Planning. A correction, suggested by Marge Penney, was made to the pro- vider minutes. Staff reported on efforts to obtain information from providers not at the meeting. This will be included with other material for the file. More work on Family Planning will be done after the profile on Foster care, Day Care Centers and Homes is drafted. The Committee will next meet on Friday, July 7th at 9:00 a.m. in the First Christian Church. S. Baldus .C• !-11CRonLMID By JORM MIC R+LAB ff,=?

This action was part of the Land Distribution Program indicated in the "PROSPECTUS" of the Iowa City Downtown Urban Renewal Program. Old Capitol Associates was selected to develop this two block area known as Block 83/84. The Urban Re- newal Prospectus for this parcel indicates the City's intention to retain approximately 62,000 to 76,000 square feet of the area Within the tract to construct a parking facility. The capacity of the parking facility was determined by the City to be approximately 900 cars. To that end, the City commissioned the firm of Carl Walker 6 Assoc- iates, Inc. to prepare plans for the parking facility. The Schematic Planning Phase was undertaken with the scope agreed upon as follows: 1. Review the background of the redevelopment area, the Urban Renewal Prospectus, Old Capitol's Proposal and City policies. 2. Review existing traffic patterns in the area of Block 83/84 including pedestrian, auto, truck and mass transit. 3. Annlyze the requirements and concerns of the Downtown Association, the University of. Town, old Capitol Associates, and the prime tenant, if identified. 4. Prepare schematic design concepts with the parking facility oriented in various locations within the site. -3- �;...��,_.....-.._.FILMED BY _ { JORM MICR+LAB•' CEDAR RAMS • DES MOIMCS MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS MUINL'�, IUwn 5.

Through its Community Development Department, the City initiated an enthus- iatic and energetic program of urban renewal to reverse this de- clining trend. In 1964 the City took the initial steps, with Federal Planning assis- tance, toward the execution of "The Urban Renewal Plan,.City-Univer- sity Project I" designated Project R-14. Monies were advanced by HUD in 1965 for planning and the City began detailed surveys of existing conditions and needs. The primary objectives of the plan were to "stimulate through public action and commitments, private investment in redevelopment and rehabilitation". Delays in planning occurred in the late 1960's brought about by legal actions. These matters were eventually resolved and in 1970 the City was awarded a Federal Grant to proceed with the plan. The grant money was used for costs of acquiring land, relocating people and businesses, demolition of structures, and project improvements such as streets, utilities and pedestrian space.

The first land parcel was acquired by the City in 1971 with sub- sequent acquisition over the next five years. In 1972, a public parking policy was officially adopted, discouraging on -street park- ing and supporting off-street lot and/or parking facilities. A 600 car parking facility was presented to the voters for consideration and the proposal was rejected primarily on environmental and finan- cial grounds. During 1973 plan revisions were made. Public hearings followed and the Capitol Improvements Program for 1973-1977, including expendi- tures of about $8,000,000 for parking facilities, was adopted by the Council. The City delayed further plans for any parking facilities until specific commitments were made on the land parcels thus deter- mining parking demands and needs. A final Snviromental Impact State- ment was issued in January 1974 by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The report from HUD concluded that the overall impact of the proposed plan as amended was positive and that the plan should be continued to completion. Planning for the redevelopment of the Central Business District (CBD) of Iowa City under Project R-14 progressed. The year 1977 experienced two major steps forward in the program: 1) A pedestrian circulation system and mallwere designed and bid for 1978 construction and 2) the City requested and received bids for a number of land parcels. -6- MICROFILMED BY I JORM MICR+LAB 1 f.EOAR RAPIDS • OES 1101OES I. r. i, W �I 1.

The latter two inter- sections will provide convenient ingress and egress to the parking facilities in Blocks 83 and 64. The intersection of Washington and Clinton Streets is presently the transit hub of the City. It is the intention of the City to continue this activity although it is planned to develop Washington Street between Capitol and Clinton Streets as a transit terminal with limited auto and truck traffic. It is intended by the City that bus traffic on Washington Street be- tween Capitol and Madison Streets will be rerouted to Capitol Street to eliminate the climb up the steep hill on Washington Street thus reducing noise pollution outside the University of Iowa's engineering building. Bus traffic on Capitol Street will interface with traffic serving the retail shopping mall and traffic to and from the parking facility. During the preparation of schematic studies for the parking facility in Block 83/84, meetings were held with representatives of the busi- ness community, the University of Iowa and developers of the retail shopping mall. These sessions were held to consider and review the concerns and needs of these groups as they related to the block 83/84 parking facility. Also, alternate concepts for location of the park- ing facility within the block were discussed to obtain their response. -12- :41CROFILMED BY ,l JORM MICR�LAB CEDAR RAPIDS - DES MOINES 1,1ICROFILMLD BY JORM MICROLAB CLUAR RAPIDS ANU AS blU iliL ,uw.. The Downtown Association is concerned that the parking facility be located so as to provide the closest possible access to the exist- ing business area near Clinton and Washington Streets.

Convenient and safe pedestrian crossings of Clinton Street are necessary to facilitate shoppers getting to all areas of the CBD. Removal of most bus loading areas at the Clinton -Washington inter- section will help eliminate traffic congestion at the intersection. University of Iowa concerns centered around: separation of pedes- trians and vehicular traffic along Capitol Street especially near College Street, providing a maximum vista north along Capitol Street toward the Old Capitol Building in Pentacrest, widened sidewalks and appropriate landscaping to enhance the view, visual aspects of the west facade of the retail shopping mall -parking facility especially around loading docks and miscellaneous mechanical -electrical equip- ment, and any alterations of traffic patterns that would affect volume and type of traffic and subsequent noise levels.

Concept Recommendation It has been noted that two schemes best satisfy the require- ments for the proposed parking facility in Block 83/84. Of the two schemes, Scheme "C" responds to more of the require- ments and concerns of the City and all participation groups. It is recommended to proceed with Scheme "C" as the basic con- cept for the parking facility in Block 83/84. B. Basis of the Plan - Scheme "C" 1. Major Planning and Design Objective This scheme responds well to the needs of the City. Merging with the external traffic system is best handled with in- gress from Clinton Street and Capitol Street and egress to Capitol Street. The two ingress points are located away from Burlington Street to minimize traffic congestions at the intersections and to allow vehicle stacking. Ingress from Clinton for southbound traffic only provides the desired entrance and visual connection with CBD. This entrance will function if Clinton Street remains two-way traffic or if it is converted to one-way traffic in the future, as has been discussed. -28- IdICROFI LFIED BY I JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES I IgICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CLDAR RAPIDS AND ULS MU111L;, .Ue"A Pedestrian circulation towers will be provided near the corners of the parking facility as indicated on page 25. The towers will contain ample glass and lighting for security purposes. The towers along the north wall of the parking facility will provide access to the controlled environment of the retail shopping mall or outside sidewalk to the CBD. The pedestrian tower near the northeast corner of the parking facility will contain a double elevator bank and will be located approxi- mately 100 feet west of Clinton Street. This will provide the pedestrian with accessibility to the major traffic gener- ators, namely; the retail shopping mall itself, the downtown business community and the University of Iowa. The mass transit system will have minimum effect on the de- sign of the parking facility. It is the City's intention to continue bus service along Clinton and Capitol Streets. Bus routes on Washington Street west of Capitol Street may be rerouted onto Capitol Street to avoid the climb up the steep hill on Washington Street. The closing of Capitol Street south of Burlington Street has improved the Burlington -Capitol Street intersection and will facilitate the movement of traffic to and from the parking facility. -2g- MICROFILMED BY JORM MIC R+LA6 t i CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES i i i i r i I i 1 rj _ 3�3 t I f I Y 1 I•.

The dock furthest north will serve the major tenant in the north- west corner of the mall. The south dock will be a double �- 1 facility serving the remainder of the mall tenants. The f 1 docks will be designed as part of the mall with all vehicles ti. off the street system. In these locations, the loading �� docks will not interfere with the ingress -egress of the parking facility along Capitol Street. m v! The developer's concerns relative to the parking facility are responded to best with Scheme "C". The ease of pedes- trian movement to and through the retail shopping mall from the parking facilityis provided at the major stair/elevator Jtower along the north wall of the parking facility. The exact location of this circulation element will be deter- j - mined later in the design process. i �i `i The concerns of the downtown business community are also R f responded to in this scheme. Visibility and access to the parking facility from Clinton Street are critical for driver- pedestrian (shopper) orientation. With the major stair - elevator tower near the northeast corner of the parking �{ i facility, pedestrian traffic will have direct access to -70- Kr..,, 141CROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES MIUIOFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS MUINLi, 1Un,. Clinton Street at the sidewalk level or through the controlled environment of the retail shopping mall. Thus, the Washington - Clinton intersection as a shopping node is reached by interior circulation through the mall or on the exterior along Capitol Street. Ease of street crossing for the shopper is a function of vehicle traffic, vehicle speed, signal light timing and other engineer- ing elements that are adjustable as experience develops for the business district with its new facilities.

Site Considerations The site for the parking facility is limited by Clinton,Burling- ton and Capitol Streets along with the retail shopping mall to the north. Clinton Street is the high point of the site. Burlington Street drops in elevation about 1.5' between Clinton and Capitol Streets. Thus, ingress to the parking facility from Clinton will be at the second tier whereas ingress -egress along Capitol will be at the first tier. The electric transmission lines currently above ground at Block 83/84 will be relocated by the Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Co. This work is scheduled for 1978 to allow for commencement of construction of the parking facility. Coordination of this work between the utility company and the design consultants of the parking facility will be required to avoid locating the lines in construction areas. Iowa -Illinois representatives have requested a location near Clinton and Burlington Streets for the placement of ground level switch -gear and transformer units. The final electrical requirements of Block 83/84 will determine the exact equip- ment needed. Preliminary review by the utility representatives indicates the equipment can be located in a cluster along Burlington Street next to the south wall of the parking facility or along Capitol Street next to the west wall of the parking -33- �� 14ICROFIL14ED BY JORM MICR+LAB CCOAR RAPIDS • OES MOIN[S MILROFILMED BY DORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS b!U!:iL'�, facility. In either location, landscaping should be provided to reduce the visual impact of this equipment. The underground utilities in the streets surrounding Block 83/84 will be studied relative to any street redesign. Special consideration will be given to the present College -Capitol Street intersection. At this intersection, Capitol Street begins to drop in elevation to the south to meet Burlington Street. In the redesign and construction of Capitol Street it may be desirable to lower the elevation of the College - Capitol intersection to ease this elevation change. Utility depths will determine the possibility of this change in street elevations along with elevations of existing University of Iowa buildings. The City is planning to reroute the water line under Capitol Street which will aid in the loading dock "turn- around area" shown on page 25. Also, lowering of the inter- section elevation will aid in the design of the pedestrian mall along College Street west of the retail mall. This portion of College Street drops about 40' between Capitol .Street and Madison Street and is difficult to walk on, especially in winter. 3. General Function of the Parking Facility The parking facility will be approximately 180' x 320'. Stair and elevator towers will extend beyond the structure as indicated on page 25. The facility will be a 3 -bay single -thread helix function with one flat bay as shown on page 37.

Parking equipment is part i - fS '_ of the cost and includes control gates, ticket dispensers,con- tract card readers, and cashier booths. i i On the basis of past experience on parking facilities of similar I � i, , v size and with the information available at this early stage of 1 the design process, the cost of the parking facility will be in the range of $3,000 - $3,500 per car. This range gives a con- I struction cost range of $2,640,000 to $3,080,000. r i If special architectural treatment is required by the City to be j i compatible with materials and details of the retail shopping mall, the cost of the parking facility may be higher.

If the decision is made by the City to add the tier as part of the initial construction, the added cost will be approximately $500,000 and will increase the capacity to 1.050 cars. This cost will include the additional deep foundations, extensions of stair/elevator towers and addi- tional building structure, mechanical and electrical systems. If the additional tier is delayed for a future time, then only foundation costs will be included at this time with provisions for the later addition of the other elements. The increase in foundation costs for the future loading will be about $50,000.

This economic analysis was based upon the conclusions developed in the Phase A Schematic planning study, The redevelop- ment time schedule requires that this study include both Ramp A and Ramp B in the evaluation process. 2. The redevelopment of the C.B.D. will remove existing spaces to serve the new buildings. The functional characteris- tics of the C.B.D parking space were surveyed to evaluate the impact of the changes to the system. The area surveyed was representative of the C.B.D. and the survey time period when for an above average month, thus providing valid data for the study. 3. The parking characteristics of the C.B.D. were deter- mined by observing the activity of 81 percent of the spaces in the study limits representing 55 percent of the municipal system. 4. The occupancy of the observed spaces exceeded the accep- table operating levels suggested by the ENO Foundation publi- cation "Parking Garage Planning and Operation", with 30 percent of the vehicles parked longer than four hours. The city atten- dant lot in block 64 functioned with the same characteristics whether the University was in session or not. 5. The April 1978 parking demand ratio was determined t to be 1.65 spaces per 1000 square feet, adjusted for the ef- fectiveness of the dispersed parking spaces. The present C.B.D. parking demand was established at 2.0 space per 1000 square feet to satisfy the recommended parking parameters.

The existing C.B.D. parking supply should be increased to satisfy the present parking needs without considering the new development requirements. 7. The C.B.D. development program include construction of 900 spaces in Ramp A and 450 spaces in Ramp B, following the city policy to substantially reduce the number of on -street spaces by 1980. The adequacy of the enlarged system shows that the Iowa Avenue meters provide a surplus of 61 spaces, Ramp A provides a surplus of 88 spaces and Ramp B has a deficit of 189 spaces compared to the 1980 C.B.D. parking demand. Provision should be made for the future expansion of Ramp B by 189 spaces. 8. The estimated construction cost for Ramp A is $3,300,000 and for Ramp B is $1,765,000. The construction time schedule has Ramp A beginning November 1978 with completion in one year and Ramp B beginning July 1979 with completion in May 1980. Because of the construction time schedule required, a single parking revenue bond issue is recommended. 9. The total parking project budget to be financed is $6,229,000. This total sum includes an additional Ramp B contingency fund, capitalized interest, one year debt service payment bond reserve and legal fees. The total project budget amount will be paid by a $4,750,000 parking system revenue bond, $255,000 in the Parking Facilities Construction Fund and $1,224,000 on hand in the parking system account. ii 141CRoriLMED BY ii JORM MICR#LAB (EMR R.AR@S • T)FS MOINES i MILRUHI-MED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DLS 14U1I1L>, u+ 10. The annual debt service payments for the $4,750,000 bond issue based upon 7 percent interest rate and a 20 year term is $447,500. During the construction period the interest will be capitalized with partial interest paid prior to the first full annual payment on June 30, 1982. 11. The annual operating expense and debt service pay- ment requirements will require a substantial increase in the total annual parking system revenue amount. To accomplish this, the existing parking rates should be increased accordingly to: $0.10 per half hour for on -street meter .20 per hour for C.B.D. lot meter .25 per hour for Ramp A and Ramp B .10 per hour for Peripheral lot meter 12.00 per month for peripheral lot permits 12. The annual revenue from the total parking system fa- cilities will be generated by the existing on -street and off- street meters and the 1350 parking spaces in Ramps A and B. The annual net revenue available for debt service payments will provide the 1.50 coverage requirement by the end of the third full year of operation. Therefore, this economic analy- sis shows that construction of Ramp A and Ramp B to enlarge the Iowa City parking system is financially feasible. iii FILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB crDAR RAPIDS • DCS MOINES 11 i i I I I i !1j i i .j MILRUHI-MED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DLS 14U1I1L>, u+ 10.

Members of the City staff and representatives from Carl Walker and Associates will meet with the Council at the informal session on July 10 to discuss the construction, financing, and schedule for the two parking ramps. The discussion will include the schematic plans for the 83 ramp, the supply and demand analysis of the parking system, the construction and operating cost estimates, the liarking system rate structure, the revenue bond issue, and the time schedule. 2. The Schematic Planning Report for the Block 83 ramp, a summary of the Economic Analysis, and other documents are attached to this memorandum. Because only eight copies of the Schematic Planning Report were prepared, please return them after you have completed the review. 3. It is imperative that decisions be made at the July 10 meeting regarding the following: a. Approval of the Schematic Planning Report b. Approval for the staff and consultants to proceed with the financial package, including: construction budgets, operating budgets, parking rate structure, and the bond issue c. Approval of the schedule including starting times for both ramps and a release date for the hotel construction. 4. We have notified the DEY Building Corporation and the Downtown Association of this meeting so that they may be present during the discussion if they wish.

RE: Parking Ramps 1. Attached to this memorandum are schedules and parking inventories which further refine information submitted to the City Council in the May staff report on parking. As a result of discussions with Carl Walker and Associates and Paul Speer, it appears desirable to proceed with a single bond issue for both parking ramps. The attached schedules are based on a single bond issue as shown on the attached Financing Timetable prepared by Paul Speer and Associates. As was done in the staff report submitted to the City Council in May, only the parking spaces located from Iowa Avenue south are included in the inventories. Spaces with designated limits of three hours or less are "short term" spaces, while spaces with designated limits longer than three hours are defined as "long term". 2. There are three specific options shown on the schedules attached. All three options significantly improve the situation shown on Schedule E, contained in the staff report previously prepared. Option A: This option shows the use of a single construction contract for the 83 ramp, with a twelve month construction time. The bond issue isn't finalized until bids on the ramp are received, with the bond sale and construction contract both executed one month after receipt of construction bids. The hotel is allowed to start in February, 1979, on the north half of the block, while the south half of the block remains in parking until August, 1979. The ramp and new library are both begun in August, 1979, with the ramp completed by May 1, 1980. Option B: This option would use two contracts for the construction of the 83 ramp; one for the foundation and a second for the rest of the ramp. By using parking system cash reserves, the contract and construction would proceed without waiting for the completion of the bond issue. This would allow a start on the ramp at least six weeks earlier. Option C: This option shows the use of two contracts, as in B, and also calls Tor an eleven month construction time until occupancy, with some finish work continuing after occupancy and use. 3. The gap between the time that all parking is lost on Block 64 and occupancy of the 83 ramp varies significantly depending upon which construction option is used on the 83 ramp. Option A would be the most easy to manage, but would leave a gap of 3 months. Option B would cut this gap to 6 weeks, provided a piling contractor could begin work quickly. The use of two contracts does add some complexity and risk to the process. The number of resolutions, public hearings, etc. for the plans and specifications would double. Because of the time frame, delays would have to be avoided. The construction would start prior to selling the bond for the ramp. Y WICRerIL?410 BY DORM MICR+LA6 CrnAR ennlns • nrs 1•10::Its i 141CROFILMED BY JORM 141CROLAB Neal Berlin July 5, 1978 Page 2 • CLUAR RAPIUS AMU UCS MoINLi, ,Un,, Option C would shorten the gap to approximately two weeks, by using two contracts in Option B, and by occupying the ramp prior to completion. Some painting, grouting and sealing, and the finishing of the parking offices and meter repair rooms might add minor inconveniences to parkers, but these would be minimal. All three options allow a hotel start in February, 1979, as requested by the DEY Building Corporation. The principle difference relates to the management of the construction of the 83 ramp and the time gap in the supply of parking. 4. Another variable the Council should consider involves the projected construction start of the new library. The architect is currently projecting a start on August 1, 1979. A decision not to start until September would, under Option B or Option C, greatly improve the parking supply in that area until the 83 ramp is completed. S. Members of the City staff and representatives of Carl Walker and Associates will discuss these matters with the Council on July 10.
