The meeting was called to order by Curtis Purington, Chairperson. 2. Horton moved, and Hall seconded, that the minutes of the June 7, 1978, meeting be approved. Motion carried unanimously. 3. Patrick Tadlock was welcomed as a new member of the Committee. It was also mentioned that Horace Amidon, Roberta Patrick, and Mary Ellen Clark had been reappointed to the Committee. 4. Sue Sheets, Planner/Program Analyst, gave a report to CCN members regarding the administration of the Housing Assistance Plan for Iowa City. Primary activities for the next six months are to assist the Housing Commission in publishing and distributing a housing information pamphlet to residents, assisting the Housing Commission in hosting a developer's workshop for the 235 housing i program, and conducting a locational analysis of appropriate sites for new construction of low income housing in Iowa City. Among those activities already completed, the Elderly Housing Survey is the most significant. Ms. Sheets explained the survey and distributed survey results for discussion with CCN members. The survey adequately documented that Iowa City can support the two new elderly housing complexes now being developed. It also showed that there is a need for housing -related services such as chore services and homemaker services which assist older persons to remain in their homes as long as is feasibly possible. CCN members requested that Nis. Sheets continue to work with community providers of these services to provide them with information on needs which may help in improving service effectiveness. 5. Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works, updated progress on the Ralston Creek Flood Control project. He explained that the Watershed Management Plan was 4/5 completed with the remaining 1/5 to be completed within the next six months. Work is progressing well on the Hickory Hill Park site and the south branch dam, as well as on the four interim projects. Work should begin on channel improvements in the near future. 6. Bruce Burke, Housing Inspector, briefed the Committee on the Housing Code Enforcement program. Ile explained that inspections are continuing in the 403 area (which is federally funded) and in the multi -family dwellings and rooming houses (see attached handout). 1331 CROr IWED BY ' 1 JORM MICR+LAB MAR VAPID$ • nrs MOTKS I•IIL,ROFILKD BY JORM MICROLAB Committee on Community Needs July 5, 1978 Page 2 I • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DLS IU;t+L>, 7.

At this time, Mr. Bruce Glasgow requested that the Commission consider a "pre -preliminary" sketch. The Commissioners agreed to add this item to the agenda. ,Jakobsen called for consideration of the minutes of June 15, 1978.

Blum asked if anyone present wished to discuss this item. John Clancy came forward on behalf of the neighboring property owners to state that there were no objections to the rezoning. He also submitted for the record a letter from Eldon Moss who owns adjoining land west of the area to be rezoned. In his letter, Mr. Moss withdraws the formal objection he had previously made to the proposed rezoning. 1332 14ICROEILMED BY .;•� JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RPP @S • nFs MOIaES M1LR0H LME0 BY JORM MICROLAB Planning and Zoning Commission ,July 6, 1978 Page 2 LEOAR RAPIDS AND uLi ILi:1LJ Ogesen inquired about the status of the trees in this area. Schmeiser answered that in changing the zone from RIA to CO the City will have control over the preservation of the trees by the Tree Regulations, a Large Scale Non -Residential Development plan, and the Subdivision Ordinance. At this time Jakobsen commended the petitioner for discussing his plans with the adjoining neighbors and resolving differences before coming to the Commission. Blum then called for a vote on this item. The vote was 6-0 in favor of approval. (Kammermeyer was absent at the time of this vote.) Public discussion of an ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance by establishing provisions for Family Care Centers and the zones in which they may be located. Schmeiser stated that the purpose of this amendment is essentially to allow the handicapped and aged to live in single family residential dwellings in single family zones. The ordinance would allow the continuance of such operations as Systems Unlimited. The Staff added the definition "developmentally disabled" in lieu of "mentally and physically handicapped" to the ordinance. This change met the approval of Systems Unlimited. Blum asked if anyone present wished to discuss this item. Ogesen questioned if the ordinance might be determined to be discriminatory to those not in the special category. Ryan answered that case law on this matter supports making reasonable i and appropriate distinctions, and the courts would probably uphold the ordinance. Blum called for a vote on the motion that the Commission recommend approval of this ordinance to the City Council. The motion carried 6-0 in favor of approval. (Kammermeyer was absent at the time of this vote.) Consideration of a request by Lyle Miller for innovative parking area design approval for property located at 301 Kirkwood Avenue. Schmeiser asked that action on this item be deferred until the next meeting. Review of proposed revised Tree Regulations. Schmeiser suggested that this item be deferred and dealt with by the Commissioners at the next regular informal session. S-7823. Public discussion of the preliminary plat of Meadeville subdivision located two miles southwest of the City limits on Rohret Road; 45 -day limitation period: 7/21/78, 60 -day limitation period: 8/5/78. Boothroy presented a map of the area, explained the boundaries, and provided information about the plat. At this time the Commissioners noted that the area is unlikely to be annexed to Iowa City because it lies within Old Man's Creek watershed, MICROFILMEe BY JORM MIC R+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DFS '40111[.5 14li:iWFILMED BY JURM MICROLAB Planning and Zoning Commission July 6, 1978 Page 3 CEDAR RAPIDS AND UL'J h1Uii,u which is difficult to sewer, and because it is located west of the proposed Highway 218 bypass. It was also noted that the Commission had waived the standards of Stormwater Management for similar reasons for a nearby subdivision. After further discussion about this subdivision and its doubtful annexation to the City, Cain moved that the Commission approve the Meadeville Subdivision subject to correction of technical deficiencies and discrepancies and waiving those items listed as deficiencies and discrepancies in the Staff Report which relate to rural design standards and stormwater management. The deficiencies and discrepancies are waived for the reasons considered in the previous discussion: (1) the difficulty in applying provisions of Rural Development Standards and Stormwater Management in a development lying in Old Man's Creek watershed; and (2) the subdivision is unlikely to be annexed to the City. Jakobsen seconded the motion, and it was approved 6-0. (Kammermeyer was absent at the time of this vote.) 5-7824. Public discussion of the final plat of Court Hill -Scott Boulevard, Part 4, located east of Raven Street between Court and Washington Streets; 45 -day limitation period: 7/22/78, 60 -day limitation period: 8/6/78. Boothroy presented a map of the area and provided information about the development. He mentioned that the signatures of utility companies should be provided and that legal papers reflecting provisions for Stormwater Management have just been received but have not yet been reviewed. i Blum called for discussion of this item. There was no response. Blum called for a vote on approving the plat with the understanding that the plat incorporate the noted deficiencies and discrepancies. The vote carried 7-0 in favor of approval. 5-7825. Public discussion of the preliminary plat of Village Green South, Part 2, located cast of Mercer Park and north of the CRI E P Railroad; 45 -day limitation period: 7/23/78, 60 -day limitation period: 8/7/78, After Boothroy presented a map of the area and explained the boundaries, the Commissioners noted that the development would mean the lengthening of Dover Street, thus increasing its likelihood of becoming an under capacity collector. The Commissioners requested to have a plan with the street lines extended. A representative for the developer was present and agreed to have such a plan ready. The Commissioners then decided to defer discussion of this item until the next informal meeting on Monday, July 10, 1978, and to take action on it at a meeting July 13. Discussion of Council actions and referrals relating to the "moratorium area", Discussion of a proposed elderly housing complex at the corner of Court and Dubuque Streets and the need to amend the Zoning Ordinance.

I SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN There were no RCC meetings held on June 13 or on June 27, 1978, due to a lack of quorums. Stager moved, Houck seconded, to approve the minutes of the May 23, 1978 meeting. Energy Conservation Program Plan Broadston moved, Bolnick seconded, that the Resources Conservation Commission approve the concept of the Iowa City Energy Conservation Program Plan and support the proposed combination of the two part-time positions, in the area of energy conservation, into one full-time position, called the Energy Program Coordinator, with the combined funding of $13,000 allocated to the single position. Approved unanimously. Civic Center HVAC Report Tinklenberg reported that the City Manager and the Director of Public Works have decided to contract for an entire building survey and engin- eering analysis of the Civic Center, of which the redesign of the HVAC system will be one component. The Resources Conservation Commission members greeted this as very good news. Thermography Instrument A short report was made concerning the bid specifications. The Commissioners discussed the possibility of shared use of the instrument with the Fire Department. The Commissioners agreed that the following list of priorities must be followed: /33.2 141CROEILMED BY 1 JORM MICR+LAB crimp.

Other Business Chair Denniger asked all RCC members to make comments on the Energy Conservation Program Plan and the Pilot Solar Demonstration Project Financing Handbook and to report those to Roger Tinklenberg by July 20. Chair Denniger reported that he had investigated the possibility of conducting an educational seminar on the Iowa Energy Code and had found that it would cost between $3,000 and $4,000 for a three-day seminar. He recommended that the RCC not hold a seminar at this time for two reasons. First, the cost is high. Second, the state is requiring the examination and certification of Energy Auditors and as a result, must set up some type of training program through its educational institutions. Therefore, the City should take advantage of that program, once it is set up. The meeting was adjourned at 6:15 P.M.

It was moved by Miller and seconded by Buchan that the minutes for the June 1, 1978 meeting be approved as read. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Kohl opened the floor for discussion to consider amending the by-laws for the Board of Appeals. Staff member Siders suggested that the by-laws be amended by having the words "or the Housing Inspector" stricken wherever they appear in the by-laws because of the fact that the Housing Inspector would no longer be participating in the Board of Appeals because of the newly formed Housing Board of Appeals. It was moved by Buchan, seconded by Miller to have the words "or the Housing i Inspector" taken out of line 2 in number 1, line 3 in number 8, lines 1 and 3 in number 10. The motion carried unanimously. Chairman Kohl opened the floor for discussion on the proposed Chapter 11 amend- ment to the Uniform Building Code and any further comments any Board members may have thought of for the other amendments since the previous meeting. Chairman Kohl asked that the members speak individually and offer the comments on a one to one basis. Board member Miller commented to the fact that Chapter 11 did not specifically address smoke control and attic control but felt that since this ordinance was drafted by the International Conference of Building Officials and was approved by our Department and the Fire Department, that his concerns would be minor. Board member Buchan responded by saying that all the proposed amendments except those previously stated at an earlier meeting concerning Chapters 1305 and 1405 concerning the 0% window requirement met with his approval. Board member Franklin responded by saying that since he just came aboard and this was his first meeting and did not have a great deal of time to review the amend- ments, he would hesitate to comment at this time. Chairman Kohl commented that he was not familiar with the Building Code well enough to determine if there were provisions for backfilling materials free of decaying type debris. In his opinion if we were pursuing amendments to the Uniform Code and the Code did not have provisions, now would be an opportune time to insert /333 R01 ILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB MAP RAPIDS • DPS M0111B .!jLROf ILi-ILU BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAVIUS ANU OLS I'IUINL,, Minutes, Iowa City Bo, , of Appeals, June 8, 1978, page some language to address clean backfill materials. Staff member Siders responded by saying Chapter 29 of the Uniform Building Code does specify certain backfill materials and does address decaying materials and does not allow it. Chairman Kohl asked what provisions were made for exhausting air. He commented to the fact that the Building Code addresses fresh air having to be brought into the house but without allowing the stagnant air to be exhausted properly it would be a very difficult task to bring in fresh air. Staff member Siders responded by saying there were some provisions in the Uniform Mechanical Code to address this situation and also responded by saying air fenestration from doors and windows are taken into consideration in exhausting stagnant air and also in bringing in fresh air. Staff member Siders also commented that he would check in the Uniform Mechanical Code and report what he found at the next Board meeting. Chairman Kohl further commented by saying Chapter 11 seemed to be an extremely well written section of ordinance and saw only one possible flaw. The concern generated by Chairman Kohl was in whether or not an emergency call system had to be provided in elevator systems. Staff member Siders responded by saying in Section 5104 of the Uniform Building Code a calling system would have to be provided. There being no further discussion on the proposed amendments nor any other business Chairman Kohl entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting. It was moved by Miller, seconded by Buchan that the meeting be adjourned. Approved"by Lloyd E. Kohl, Chairman Prepared by Blenn R.

It was moved by Miller and seconded by Franklin that the minutes for the June 8, 1978 meeting be approved as read. The motion passed unanimously. Chairman Kohl opened the floor for discussion to consider the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code in comparison with the Uniform Building Code. Chairman Kohl pointed out that it was the intent of the Board to get both codes to coincide as closely as possible in the reading of the ordinates so that a developer or a contractor would not have to work under two sets of code and could adapt to one set of rules and regulations. i Board member Miller pointed out only one change he would like to see take place and that change is found in section 9.30.4.I.2.D of the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code pertaining to platforms. It was Board member Miller's opinion that the height of platforms should be 30" as provided for in the Uniform Building Code and not 24" as provided for in the Maintenance Code. Board member Franklin concurred with this opinion and also pointed out that this was really his only change he would like to see made. It was moved by Miller and seconded by Kohl that the secretary of the Board should write the Housing Commission a memorandum asking them to consider an amendment to section 9.30.4.I.2.D of the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code asking them if they might consider a platform height of 30" or more before a guardrail would be required. The motion passed unanimously. There being no further discussion on the Housing Maintenance and Occupancy Code Chairman Kohl entertained a motion to adjourn the meeting. It was moved by Miller and seconded by Franklin that the meeting be adjourned. This motion passed unanimously. This meeting was not recorded on tape. Approved by Lloyd E.
