try to address the 100 -year flood in the channel but rather the channel improvements

throughout the City along Ralston Creek. Plastino stated that he thought Marianne
Milkman had provided for this in the Bikeways Plan for this area.
There was some discussion regarding the acquisition of properties relating to this

notified. Ile also indicated that he would like for Planning and Zoning to request
stuff assistance from the Legal Department in researching possible alternatives for
funding for acquisition of properties relating to the Ralston Creek project.

BOARD OF ELECTRICAL EXAMINERS AND APPEALS
SEPTEMBER 19, 1979
MEMBERS PRESENT: Jim Hynes, Dale Flannery, Ferrell Turner, Earl Eyman
STAFF PRESNET: Paul Bowers, Roger Scholten
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Hynes.
MOD POD APPEAL
Mr. Gauger presented the appeal for Mod Pod. It read as follows:
"We request that the circuit breaker panels be allowed to remain over the
kitchenette counters in this office occupancy. The basis of our request
is as follows; referring to Article 110-16 of the N.E.C. of 1978:
1. The equipment requiring adjustment, servicing or maintenance can be
done with the equipment "dead", because a lockable fused disconnect
is provided in the basement.
2. Approximately 5'0" of clear space exists in front of the panels
above countertop height.
3. Lighting in the kitchenette area can be connected to the "house"
panel for conformance to Article 110-16 (e), 'Illumination.'"
The panelboards are located above the metal kitchen unit which contains a
two burner range, a sink, and a small refrigerator. This unit is well grounded
Mr. Gauger presented the case on the idea of being able to shut off this
particular distribution panel. The Board maintained that this panel did not,
in their judgment, have the required clear distances. The appeal was denied
for the above reason. Mr. Bowers was asked to read the code section pertain-
ing to the above.
110-16. "WORKING SPACE ABOUT ELECTRIC EQUIPMENT (600 VOLTS OR LESS, NOMINAL).
Sufficient access and working space shall be provided and maintained about all
electric equipment to permit ready and safe operation and maintenance of such
equipment.
(a) WORKING CLEARANCES. Except as elsewhere required or permitted in this Code,
the dimension of the working space in the direction of access to live parts
operating at 600 volts or less and likely to require examination, adjustment,
servicing, or maintenance while alive shall not be less than indicated in
Table 110-16(a). In addition to the dimensions shown in Table 110-16(a), the
work space shall not be less than 30 inches wide in front of the electric
equipment. Distances shall be measured from the live parts if such are exposed
or from the enclosure front or opening if such are enclosed. Concrete, brick,
or tile walls shall be considered as grounded."
Mr. Gauger and Mr. King were trying to use an exception to this section which
reads as follows:
110-16(a)3. Exceptions 1 and 2. "Exposed live parts on both sides of the work

space (not guarded as provided in Condition 1) with the operator between.
Exception No. 1: Working space shall not be required in back of assemblies
such as dead -front switchboards, or motor control centers where there are no
renewable or adjustable parts such as fuses or switches on the back and where
all connections are accessible from locations other than the back.
Exception No. 2: By special permission smaller spaces may be permitted where
it is judged that the particular arrangement of the installation will provide
adequate accessibility."
The above was not asked for until after the installation was made,
A motion was made by Turner to deny the appeal and uphold the inspectors
interpretation to have panels removed from the area, The motion was seconded
by Flannery and carried by a unanimous vote,
A motion was made by Turner that this matter be looked into to see why this
building got as far as it did in the electrical without any inspections and
how the building permit got issued without a clear meaning as to everything
that was contained in that building permit. The motion was seconded by Eyman.
Discussion followed. No action was taken on this motion.
Another motion was made by Turner that this whole affair be looked into.
1. The Board should contact the Council as to how this building got this far
and 2. the Board should contact the contractor to see if the Building Permit
was thoroughly explained to him, that he had to have electrical inspections
and plumbing inspections or if he could surmise that because he had an engineer
on the job that he didn't need these inspections. Eyman seconded the motion.
Discussion followed. Board member Flannery suggested that because of confusion
with two motions that the Board should go back to the first motion. Chairman
Hynes stated that the second motion would be withdrawn and requested that the
first motion be read back. Discussion on the first motion followed. Board
member Flannery noted that Midwest, the electrical contractor who has done work
in the community before and is familiar with the permits, should have known
that inspections have to be called for. :Turner stated that he himself probably
would have called Paul if he had been the sub -contractor.
The Board expressed their concern that the electrical inspector is being blamed
for this when they feel it is actually the management of the Building Inspection
Department that has failed to make certain that the prints were thoroughly
reviewed before the building permit was issued.
e
Chairman Hynes called for a vote. Flannery voted nay, Turner, Eyman any Hynes
voted aye and the motion carried.
A motion was made by Eyman that the chairman be directed to write a letter
to Council indicating the Board's lack of confidence in the management of the
building inspection program. Turner seconded the motion. Roger Scholten
stated that in his opinion the motion was not a proper subject unless it
related to the appeal before the Board that night because it wasn't on the agenda
Discussion followed. Chairman Hynes called for a vote. Flannery voted nay,
Hynes, Eyman and Turner voted aye and the motion carried.
Chairman Hynes was directed to contact the Council regarding the fact that the
Board feels that the Electrical Inspector is being subjected to undue criticism
and pressure.
Chairman Hynes adjourned the meeting.

Chairman Hynes opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. A letter was presented to
the Board by Pierce King. (Copy of letter to be supplied by Chairman of
the Board). After presentation of the letter there were comments made
both by Mr. King, Mr. Gauger and the Electrical Board was in discussion of
the letter as it was presented. Mr. Turner made a motion stating we will
f allow Mod Pod to have the panels as they are providing a legal
interpretation from the legal staff. That was seconded by Earl Eyman and
after further discussion the motion was withdrawn by both Turner and
it Eyman. A motion by Ferril Turner that Mod Pod's proposal be approved as
proposed with a sign to be worded and sized by the Electrical Inspector.
ti This was seconded by Earl Eyman. Discussion followed with the idea that
the size and lettering should be determined by the Board and not the
Electrical Inspector. The motion was modified to the effect that the size
of the sign would be 4" x 4" and the writing was to be in red and that the
sign was to be mounted permanently on the door by rivets. The wording on
the sign would state: "DANGER: Turn off panel and padlock switch number
DS -1, DS -2 in the basement before removing panel cover." Voting on the
above motion was Flannery, Turner and Hynes, yes, and Earl Eyman
abstaining. An addition to the above business with Flannery making a
motion that a letter be sent to the electrical contractor, Midwest,
suggesting that he call for inspections of the work being done in the
future. The letter was to contain a warning stating that the above
inspections were not made for rough -in and that the problem presented in
this case was not brought to the attention of the Electrical Inspector
before the installation. Turner seconded the above motion. There was
some discussion afterwards and it was a unanimous decision.
Chairman Hynes closed the meeting.

Summary of Discussion:
This was a special meeting of the ICMAC for the purpose of discussing with the
guests from EPA the particular problems which Iowa City is experiencing as gen-
eral aviation grows in the area and residential areas continue to encroach upon
the airport.
The meeting was called to order by Mr. Saeugling, acting as Chairman 1n the
absence of Mr. Phipps. Fallowing the call to order, open discussion among the
commissioners present and the two guests from EPA ensued. As no nctlons were
taken at this meeting, a summary of the pertinent points discussed Is glven below
By focusing on the cities of Santa Monica, California and Torrance, Cali-
fornia, the EPA guests outline measures which Iowa City might adopt in seeking
to alleviate some of the problems existing here:
(1) inclusion of noise abatement procedures in the training of pilots
(2) creation of curfews (for example, 11:00 PM - 7:00 AM) noting that
exceptions should be made for emergencies
(3) restriction of touch-and-go operations by all pilots during certain
hours of the day, or certain days of the week
(4) reaching the flying public via a large-scale mailing; thus informing
users of the airport of the existence and nature of noise abatement
policies
(5) restriction of all aircraft with n noise rating above a certnln dera -
bel level (it should be noted that such arestriction would possibly
permit some quieter jets to use Iowa City and restrict some prop planes)
(b) institution of landing fees
(7) establishment of preferential runways to take traffic away from resi-
dential areas whenever possible.
It was stressed that, as proprietors of the Iowa City Airport, the (CMAC has
the authority to establish the conditions under which the airport shall he run.
However the Commission may not adopt any measures:
(1) which will directly discriminate against any class of aircraft or

(Iuently suspended to prohibit takeoffs on two runways to pilots on

(2) which violate leases held by anyone using airport property
(3) which infringe upon that area of air traffic falling under strict
control by the FAA.
The EPA guests stressed the importance and long range value of trying to sit
down with all parties concerned and work out solutions which would encourage
voluntary compliance with noise abatement procedures. They emphasized that a
diplomatic and concerned airport manager is instrumental to this process. Fi-
nally it was pointed out that, if efforts at voluntary compliance fail for lack
of cooperation, then the Cot mission has the authority to take formal steps
to impose noise abatement measures such as those described above.

Deferred to the next meeting approval of the minutes of July 23, 25
and September 4. Munzenmaier noted correction in N8 on September 4.
Munzenmaier abstained, not Yates.
3. Public Discussion. Robert Morris questioned what progress had been
made in the Woodfield's case, i.e. legal documents filed, action taken.
Ryan reported that Roger made arguments resisting the temporary
injunction and filed a brief as requested; now awaiting decision from
judge - time frame questionable.
Morris questioned what feedback the Commission had received regarding
the July hearings. Commissioners indicated some interspection by
themselves resulting in setting up a subcommittee for the possibility
of revisin section of the Human Rights ordinance (modernize and revamp
procedures. Mace suggested that a precedent has now been set by another
commission which was allowed to hire an outside attorney to help
with public hearing. if mistakes were made based on procedure, external
counsel may have helped. The commission will use this in the future.

Morris stated he felt the hearing was unruly; actions and language
used which should not be tolerated in a public hearing. Mace accepted
this as a point well taken; however, the commissioners felt they were
unaware of any such behavior or language.
4. Age Discrimination in Employment Act. This is a Federal law which
prohibits age discrimination in employment up to age 70 and also
affects pension and fringe benefits. Problem arises because of in-
consistencies with State laws. Sophie has been researching this because
it is the responsibility of the Human Relations Department to meet
compliance with the law. The possibility of a student intern research-
ing this was discussed and this will be discussed with Pat Brown.
5. State Civil Rights Commission Rules. Sophie requested copies of
"Administrative Rules." These will be forwarded to commissioners when
they arrive.
6. Iowa Civil Rights Commission Training Session. Steve, Angelita, Dick
MCC. attended. Basically it was a Survey Course of Complaint Processing.
j It was suggested that a thank you letter should be sent from the
Commission. It was mentioned that a model city ordinance was given
to the participants by the State. This will be made available to the
Subcommittee to use as a guide in reviewing our ordinance.
The training session scheduled by the Human Relations Department was
cancelled due to lack of attendance. This training course was to
look at the City as a model employer. Because this goal is presently
in suspension it was decided to put the training session on next month's
agenda.
The Commission requested Sophie to read the reports by Russell Ross'
students discussing their candid comments as observers of the Commission.
i I
' 7. Initiating local commission information system. Discussed the possibility
of getting local commissioners together to deal with common problems.
j Discussed
Theobjective is
sthatlall commissilonstdeal ter owith sthe esame eproblems and
could benefit from other experiences in dealing with problems. It was
j felt that possibly a group of commissions could make a point with an
"omnipotent" state commission. There was some dissention on this issue
I by commissioners who felt this had been tried before and was not effective.
It was suggested that the commission first look at priorities and get
present priorities in order (committees and projects) that effect this
I commission.
8. Commission By-Laws Committee. This committee no longer exists. It
performed its function and was retired.

letter commending the participation of all parties, summarizing the
understanding and offering the commission's help in the future. She will
request a written acknowledgement of this letter and its contents.
Commission Priorit Pro'ects. Outgrowth of this is the Ordinance
Priority Committee. 1 Drafted a letter to state asking them to
review our ordinance. (2) Dick spoke with state and has their
assurance of cooperation. (3) Sent letter to Hayek and met with
him on September 24, 1979. Hayek is willing to help in terns of City
staff; felt the ordinance is OK; suggested an accelerated time schedule
for some cases; is much opposed to independent staff and council and
would like the commission to reconsider this.Regarding committee
redirection, discussion of various studies of the ordinance and revisions
made. Angie felt confident that the City is in compliance with 601A.
j Munzenmaier felt the committee must look at (1) injunctive power (2)
parallel 601A.15 Complaint Hearing - delineation of functioning. A letter
ihas been sent by Sophie to Thomas Mann regarding parallel structure,
by-laws and she is awaiting a reply. within the remedy section it was
felt that we do have provision to certify to a licensing body that an
act of discrimination occurred but we did not incorporate certifying to
a contractor. Also in the remedy section it appears that these are
available only after a public hearing and the intent was not that.
601A.16 - 120 day release to sue should be discussed. Linda will
draft a memo to Angie addressing these questions and problems (this will
not be an all inclusive list). The next step will be to officially
get the city staff working on this project. The commission will await
the responses and see if there is disagreement between the state response
and the city legal staff.
Compliance Monitoring Guide. Defer to next meeting.
Affirmative Action - Chamber of Commerce. It was moved by Mori and
seconded by Agnes that the Chairperson write a letter to the Chamber of
Commerce stating that Carla Marcus is our representative to the Affirma-
tive Action Committee and request that she be notified of every meeting
that takes place. Motion carried unanimously.

I'
Defendant.
i
This case came on for trial before the undersigned Judge
of the Johnson County District Court on September 19 and 20,
1979. The plaintiff was represented by Marion R. Neely and
i
James H. Martinek; the defendant was represented by John W.
Hayek. The evidence of the parties was received and the cause
submitted.

FINDINGS OF FACT Z •--
A i
This case involves an appeal by plaintiff from a ial of;ll
approval of its preliminary subdivision plat. The app_-.
e,,;
a¢
taken b filing a L'n
Y 4 petition with the Clerk of this Court entitled
"Appeal from Denial of Subdivision Plat" which the Court takes
to be a petition in equity seeking reversal of.the defendant's
action. Subsequently, plaintiff filed an amendment to its
petition adding a Division II seeking declaratory relief.
Plaintiff filed a subdivision plat with the City of. Iowa
City in September of 1977 seeking to have the same approved
pursuant to the Iowa City Subdivision Code. The proposed I
I
subdivision, Oakes Meadow Addition, was then reviewed by the
Iowa City Planning staff and Planning and Zoning Commission.
On October 6, 1977, the Planning staff issued a staff report
expressing serious concerns about the street layout of. the
;v

JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 110111ES

Proposed subdivision and the problems of access from the sub-
division to the existing street system of Iowa City. There-
after, a minor revision was made in the proposed plat by
plaintiff, renaming the main north -south street Carver Street
and extending the right-of-way of the same to the south line
of plaintiff's land. This amended plat was then approved by
the City's Planning and Zoning Commission.
As is.provided in the Iowa City Subdivision Code,
plaintiff's preliminary plat was thereafter submitted to the
Iowa City Council for further action. The Iowa City City
Council held several meetings during January and February of
I
1978 to consider plaintiff's proposed subdivision and t}
access problems mentioned above. The Court finds that,;ller i
were ten meetings of the City Council held during Janu�
February of 1978 at which this matter was discussed ori:"
groom C7 ;
sidered
prior to the meeting on February 14, 1978, at w'fi46h —
final action was taken. The Court further finds from the
i
evidence that one or more representatives of plaintiff
attended seven of those ten meetings. The Court further finds
that plaintiff, through its officers and representatives, was
aware and did have knowledge of the fact that the Council was
planning to take final action on the subdivision plat at its
I
formal meeting on February 14, 197.9.
j
At the City Council meetings the City's planning staff
continued to offer strong objection to approval of the sub-
11 '
division plat without providing a second means of access to
the subdivision. The City planners, along with the City
i
traffic engineer and several members of the City Council, were
i
concerned that this subdivision had insufficient vehicular

access both because of the existing street layout in the area
of the subdivision and because of the relatively large number
of dwelling units, 44 in number, which would be served by only
one street. With the exception of one other subdivision
developed in Iowa Ctiy over 20 years ago, none of the
witnesses testifying for either party could recall any
subdivision with this many dwelling units being served on any
Permanent type of basis with only one means of vehicular access.
The Court finds that the City's concern about the lack of
a secondary means of access to a subdivision of this density
and in this location was reasonable and supported by the
evidence. r
The tract of land owned by plaintiffs was originn-q� ally. p�Tt
o•. N
of a larger parcel of ground. Court finds that CourtcX0st,-,Ine.i,I
ca
purchased several acres of ground from St. Marks Unite=-:
Methodist
�..�
Methodist Church in 1972. In May of 1973 Courtcrest, Inc.,T
conveyed a 2.4 acres portion of that tract to the Moose Lodge
of Iowa City. In August of 1977 Courtcrest conveyed 7.1 acres
to Oakes Construction Company, plaintiff in this case, for
development purposes. Courtcrest has retained a remaining
parcel for future potential development purposes. The Court
finds that over the period of time from 1972 through 1977
Courtcrest, Inc., has divided its original tract of ground into
i
three parcels for development purposes.
On February 14, 1978, the Iowa City City Council, by
unanimous vote, denied approval of plaintiff's preliminary sub-
division plat. Approval was denied for the reason that the
plat did not provide sufficient vehicular access and was not
consistent with the general plat of Iowa City and for the

further reason that subdivision of a portion of a larger
subdivision of ground was contemplated without full compliance
with Chapter 409 of the Code of Iowa.
i
CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
Plaintiff argues in its petition that it is entitled to
record its subdivision plat because the City of Iowa City did
not approve or reject its proposed plat within 60 days of the
date of application. The defendant City, on the other hand,
argues that because the plat was only preliminary in nature
and was therefore not a recordable plat, the 60 -day requirement
i
I of Section 409.15 of the Code of Iowa did not apply. Tbp
Court finds that thelat filed b i
p y plaintiff was a pre�Xmineiy �.
plat and did not meet the requirements of Section 409,x.Oa
06:J
N i
Section 409.31 of the Code of Iowa. Further, the cern€ ices—
^^ co
abstract, and other matters required by Sections 409.1 and' i
~
409.9 of the Code did not accompany this preliminary plat.~
It is obvious that the plat was intended as a preliminary plat
only under the terms of the Iowa City Subdivision Code and no
recordable plat or plat intended for recording has yet been
filed with the City or submitted to the Court for consideration.
The Court concludes that the 60 -day limitation, provided
i
in Section 409.15 of the Code of Iowa, applies to recordable
plats or plats intended for recording,which plats must at least
be in substantial compliance with the provisions of Chapter 409.
The Court notes that the procedure followed by the City of
Iowa City providing for filing of a preliminary plat and
review of the same is intended to help reduce engineering and
legal expense in the development process by providing a
rP.

-s-
mechanism by which preliminary plans may be reviewed and
revised as appropriate before preparation of the final plat.
Had plaintiff elected to file a combined preliminary and final
plat in substantial compliance with the requirements of
Chapter 409, then the 60 -day limitation period in Section
409.15 of the Code of Iowa would have applied. Plaintiff did
not so elect and gave no indication to the City that it
regarded the preliminary plat as a recordable document. As
a further reason in support thereof, the Court notes that
Section 409.15 provides that if the City Council fails to
either approve or reject a plat within 60 days, the person
proposing said plat shall have the right to file the same.
Court believes that this provision
P provides for the r�'coff.dinj;g r-
;r
of a plat in the face of Council inaction. Here the Ebncii
n-• N `
acted on February 14, 1978, before any attempt to rec6rd.arly
plat. Once the Council has acted, plaintiff's remedy`'.S;aopea1
rather than recording as provided in Section 409.15 of the -
Code of Iowa.
Plaintiff complains that it was not provided with notice
of the Council's action on its application. The Court does
not find any requirement in Chapter 409,nor have cases been
called to the Court's attention by plaintiff,requiring City
Council notice before taking a legislative action such as the
one involved in approving or rejecting a subdivision plat.
Further, whether or not notice of such an action is required,
the Court finds that actual notice was given to plaintiff on
j February 13, 1978, at the informal Council meeting held on that
i
j date. The Court finds that plaintiff had ample opportunity to
i
participate in the Council discussions concerning its proposed

I
-6-
i
subdivision plat.
The City Council of Iowa City made a legislative deter-
mination that this subdivision was served by insufficient
` vehicular access and that the street layout of the sub-
division was not consistent with the general plat of the City.
Section 409.14 of the Code of Iowa gives the City Council
authority to review subdivision plats as follows:
With a view to ascertaining whether the same conform to
the statutes relating to plats within the City and
within the limits prescribed by this section, and
whether streets, alleys, boulevards, parks and public
places shall conform to the general plat of the City
and conduce to an orderly development thereof, cannot
conflict or interfere with rights-of-way or extensions
of streets or alleys already established. . .
This broad grant of legislative authority is intended to
Provide municipalities with a mechanism to control growth and
development of real estate in the community and adjacena=
FS
thereto. See Note, Subdivision Regulation in Iowa, 54 tlta c
i �'
L. Rev. 1121 (1969). The Court concludes that the Cit�i-_'-
N
action in den
i Y 9 approval of the subdivision plat wasS-Feasmn-
in
able, that the City Council could and did find that the^same
did not conform to the general plat of the City and did not
conduce to an orderly development thereof and that under those
circumstances the City Council could deny approval of the sub-
I
division plat.
j r
jAs a further ground for denying Y' g a pproval of the plat, the
j; City claimed that this property was a part of a larger sub-
division created by Courtcrest, Inc., and that the City had
the authority to deny approval of the plat for that reason also.
Section 409.1 of the Code of Iowa requires every proprietor of
i
any tract of land located within a city who shall subdivide the
same into three or more parts shall cause a subdivision plat

to be filed. Although the subdivision of the original St.
Marks Methodist Church tract, by Courtcrest, Inc., took place
over an extended period of time, the Court concludes that the
division of the tract of ground into three parcels was under-
taken for development purposes by Courtcrest, Inc., and that a
subdivision plat should have been filed.
i
The Court believes that under Chapter 409 of the Code, the
City could properly refuse to permit further subdivisions of
land until such time as the platting requirements of Chapter 409
have been complied with.

the City in connection with this lawsuit,
While I realize that many of you may not be interested in the

a copy of this brief so that you can see the quality of work performed by
your Assistant City Attorneys and also so that you can get some idea of
the time demands that litigation of this sort plays on the Legal Department.

I. STATEMENT OF THE CASE
i
j A. PROCEDURAL POSTURE AT TRIAL.
This action was originally filed by Plaintiffs herein against the
j City of Iowa City and individual City Councilmembers in October 1974,
claiming damages resulting from Defendants' alleged delay in rezoning
Plaintiffs' property pursuant to court order. Plaintiffs further claim
that these alleged delays were arbitrary and capricious acts on the part
of the City, resulting, inter al_ia, in increased construction costs. In
the earlier case, Amerex Corporation,' et al_ v_ Cid of City, et al. ,
docket number 41548, Judge Schaeffer found the R1A zoning of the subject
property to be invalid, and ordered the City to rezone.
In the instant case, Judge Carter's ruling in June 1976 on
Defendants' motion for summary judgment dismissed all divisions of the
i
Petition against individual Councilmembers, and dismissed all allegations
against the City except Division III for a damage claim totalling $93,000.
Plaintiffs' request for Interlocutory Appeal on the dismissal was denied
by the Iowa Supreme Court September 1976.

In June 1979 Plaintiffs sought to amend their petition, but said
motion was denied July 31, 1979. Only Division III claiming damages for
increased construction costs between March and July 1974 is at issue for
trial. Trial to the court was held before the Honorable Judge Swailes in
Iowa City, Iowa on August 20-23, 1979.
Although not expressly pleaded as such, Plaintiffs are apparently
proceeding on an intentional tort theory, claiming that the City's alleged
delays were intentional acts and were motivated by a malicious purpose to
harm. The issues are whether the City's conduct was motivated by a
malicious purpose to harm; whether the City is therefore liable for an
intentional interference with Plaintiffs' business opportunity by reason
of alleged delays in complying with the court order; and if so, whether
'Plaintiffs have met their burden of proof for actual damages resulting
from increased construction costs between March and July of 1974.
Initially, however, the court must decide whether the City acted in a
timely and reasonable manner under the circumstances, in which case
Defendant would be entitled to dismissal as a matter of law.
B. FACTS.
1. Historical Background.
In 1964, Plaintiff Amerex Corporation received a building
i permit from Johnson County for construction of 108 apartment units for a
total of nine buildings, on a 7.05 acre tract located on a lot south of
Interstate 80 and west of North Dubuque. Plaintiffs successfully
completed 24 units, or two buildings, and erected footings of three
t additional buildings. However, Plaintiffs lost their financing but
expected to regain lending support and complete construction of at least
36 additional units (see Preamble of Plaintiffs' Original Petition).
In late 1965 the City annexed a large area in the North Dubuque
area, including Plaintiffs' entire 26 t acre tract. By virtue of a then -
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES
d
I
existing provision of the Iowa City Code, Plaintiffs' parcel was
automatically zoned R1A, the most restrictive density 'classification
requiring 10,000 square feet per unit for construction. Plaintiffs
i
welcomed annexation into the city. (See Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 38). The
combined result of the annexation and automatic zoning was to cause
Plaintiffs' buildings to become non -conforming uses.
After a series of unsuccessful attempts to obtain rezoning, the
Plaintiffs filed a declaratory judgment action in October 1972, docket
number 41548. A trial to the court was held in June 1973; and on January
24, 1974, Judge Schaeffer ruled that the City's refusal to rezone was
arbitrary and capricious and that the City provision was declared null and
void. Further, the City was directed to take steps "immediately" to
rezone Plaintiffs' property to allow 108 apartment units not to be a non-
conforming use. The City was also directed to issue Plaintiffs a building
permit. Mr. Jay Honohan represented the City in this first case, and Mr.
Jerry Lovelace represented the Plaintiffs.
2. Highlights of Chronology of Events.
Rather than belabor the sequence of events after Judge
Schaeffer's Original Order, which events are matters of public record and
are thus largely undisputed, I have appended a Chron2IM prepared for
trial and hereby do incorporate said Appendix into the City's statement of
facts.
In January 1974, Judge Schaeffer issued his ruling directing the City
to rezone the Amerex property and to issue a building permit.
In February 1974, City Attorney John Hayek advised the City Council
not to appeal, and the Council agreed.
The Council further directed Mr. Hayek to seek clarification of
the Order, and Plaintiffs agreed to a stipulation for such purposes.
The Council was unsure whether the City could require compliance with
other city codes, such as building and electrical codes, the Large
Scale Residential Ordinance (LSRD), and whether the Order was to
rezone the entire 26 t acres or only the 7.05 acre parcel. Attorneys
for both sides were present for oral argument on the City's Motion to
Clarify. (See Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 38).
In March 1974, Judge Schaeffer issued his Ruling on clarification
h h ndicated that,the Plaintiffs were in fact still required
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOVIES
4
to comply with the City plumbing, electrical, fire and building
codes, that the LSRD did not apply, and that the City was to
take actions "immediately" to rezone the 7.05 acres and to issue
building permits. (See Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 38).
In April 1974, the City Council referred the matter to the Planning
and Z n ng Commission for review and report, as recommended by
City Attorney John Hayek.
In t!ay 1974, the Staff Report prepared by the City's Planning
Department recommended rezoning the 7.05 acre Amerex tract from
RIA to R3A, and the Planning and Zoning Commission formally
approved this recommendation in their report to the City
Council. The Council subsequently set a public hearing for June
18, 1974.
In June 1974, the public hearing was held, and one week later the
�:ounc i voted to suspend the rules and give the first reading of
an ordinance to rezone the Amerex 7.05 acre tract from R1A to
R3A. The first reading was given.
In July 1974, one week later, the second reading of the ordinance
rezoning Plaintiffs' property was given; the next week the
Council deferred action for one week; the third and final
reading was given by title only the following week.
The ordinance rezoning the Amerex 7.05 acre tract from R1A to
R3A was adopted J� 16, 1974. After adoption of the amendment
and following discussion regarding the density differential
between R3A zone (300 units permitted) and R3 zone (102 units
permitted), the Council referred a portion of the Amerex
property to the Planning and Zoning Commission for review and
possible rezoning to R3. Councilmembers inquired and were
assured by the City Attorney and by the head of the Community
Development Division, Mr. Kraft, that the 108 units would be
permitted based on the amendment just passed rezoning the
property to R3A.
Also upon inquiry, the Councilmembers were assured that the
Plaintiffs, as of July 16, 1974, were entitled to a building
permit, upon application. (See Transcript of Tapes, pp. 28-
29.)
Between Mich 24 and J� 16, 1'974, one written contact was made by
Plaintiffs w tF Clty, which was a letter from their attorney,
Mr. William Meardon. There were no appearances made by the
Plaintiffs or their attorneys before the City Council or the
Planning and Zoning Commission, either formally or informally.
From July to November 1974, the R3A zoning did not change. The
Planning and Zoning Commission in October 1974 reaffirmed their
original recommendation of May 1974 that no rezoning take
place. Plaintiffs' property has remained 113A to the present.
In October 1974, in response to a letter from Mr. William Meardon,
C— yAttorney John Hayek explained that the City stood "ready,
willing and able" to issue a building permit, upon application
by Mr. Meardon's clients. Mr. Hayek further indicated his
willingness to explain the rezoning to any lending institution,
which zoning allowed the construction of the 108 apartment
units as of July 16, 1974. See Plaintiffs' Exhibit No. 6.
In November 1974, a motion to take further action on rezoning a
portion of the Amerex tract to R3 was defeated.
In sum, the City proceeded to refer the matter of rezoning subject

property to Planning and Zoning, to set a public hearing, to hold a 2ublic
hearing, to suspend the rules and read the amendment by title only on
three separate occasions, and to adopt the Amendment Rezoning to R3A
within aep riod of four months. Proposed amendments for rezoning portions
of said tract were defeated three months later.
II. SUMMARY OF CITY'S ARGUMENTS
It is the City's contention herein that the four months needed to
rezone Plaintiffs' property was reasonable under the circumstances, and
not inconsistent with the pace of legislative bodies; that the City was
required by law to carefully follow certain procedures, and that the City
at all times acted impartially and in good faith in complying with Judge
Schaeffer's Order. It is the City's further contention that the frequent
meetings, discussions and inquiries which surrounded the City's rezoning
bespeak an honest and legitimate effort to satisfy its three -fold duty:
(1) to comply with the Court Order and protect Plaintiffs' private
interests; (2) to protect the interests of the community, which included
the due process rights of surrounding property owners as well as the
integrity of the neighborhood; and (3) to comply with state and local
procedural zoning requirements. The City is therefore entitled to
dismissal as a matter of law for failure to state a cause of action, since
the City acted reasonably under the circumstances.
Even assuming a claim has been stated, Plaintiffs have failed to
satisfy their burden of proof that the City acted with malice - i.e.,
spite or ill -will; and further, that there is no evidence whatsoever that
the City's purpose was to cause harm to the Plaintiffs. The testimony at
trial reveals the City Council acted with an honest belief that Plaintiffs
were entitled to proceed with construction as of July 16, 1974. These
good faith beliefs negate any inference of wrongful purpose. The fact
that Plaintiffs waited four years to build their apartments also raises a
question of Plaintiffs' own good faith efforts under the circumstances.
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
It is the further contention of the City that Plaintiffs have failed
to prove actual damages, or even a causal link to the City's actions. The
state of the economy is beyond the control of the City and liability
should not attach. Plaintiffs' use of hypotheticals at trial was
decidedly inappropriate in this context, since actual harm must be shown
for successful recovery under Iowa case law.
Even assuming liability is found, the City argues herein that
Plaintiffs failed to mitigate injury and are therefore entitled only to
nominal damages. Further, Plaintiffs' failure to move to conform evidence
to the pleadings restricts any assessment of damages after July 16, 1974.
Finally, it is the City's position that Plaintiffs' application of
tort theory in a zoning context is singularly inappropriate and against
public policy. The potential harm and chilling effect which such recovery
would have on local governments are ominous indeed. Public policy
concerns require rejection of such a tort theory herein, since the proper
remedy is the undoing of the wrong, not money damages.
III. ARGUMENTS
A. PLAINTIFFS HAVE FAILED TO STATE A CAUSE OF ACTION IN INTENTIONAL
TORT, SINCE CITY'S REZONING OF SUBJECT PROPERTY WAS REASONABLE UNDER
THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
Plaintiffs challenge in Division III of their Petition that the City
wrongfully refused to rezone their property in a timely fashion, and that
this refusal caused delays resulting in increased construction costs.
Plaintiffs further contend that the City, acting by and through its
agents, employees and officials, conducted its affairs with an evil,
purposeful and malicious intent to harm the Plaintiffs. The Defendant
strongly urges the court find that no such intent ever existed, nor can
�i
any be found under the circumstances.

In order to state a claim for intentional interference with business
opportunity under Iowa law, a plaintiff must show that (1) the defendant
was aware of plaintiff's business opportunities; (2) that defendant acted
with a purpose to harm or destroy plaintiffs; (3) which purpose
interferred with plaintiff's business opportunity; and (4) resulted in
actual damages. E q., Farmers Co-op Elevator, Inc., buncombe v. State
Bank, 236 N.W.2d 674 (Iowa 1975). Such egregious conduct is tantamount to
malice or ill -will. W. PROSSER, LAW OF TORTS Section 130 (4th ed. 1971).
It is the City's position that although the Council did not rezone
the subject property "immediately" in a literal sense, that the City did
in fact comply with a court Order in good faith and in a reasonable and
timely manner. In other words, some "delays" were inevitable. Even so,
such delays do not rise to the level of negligence, and indeed fall far
j short of the degree of culpability required to find a malicious purpose to
harm or destroy.
1. Plaintiffs a reed to and participated in a motion to enlarge
time to seek clarification - January to March 1974.
Judge Schaeffer's Order directing the City to rezone the Plaintiffs'
property was filed January 24, 1974. City Attorney John Hayek recommended
the City not appeal the decision. As a result of some confusion over the
court directive, the City Council requested Mr. Hayek to seek clarifi-
cation. Pursuant to an agreement with Mr.William Meardon, the City
entered into a stipulation enlarging time to seek clarification. Hearing
was had before Judge Schaeffer on February 19, 1979, with Attorneys
Meardon and Hayek present for argument. As stipulated, the appeal period
for the motion to clarify was limited to three days. Judge Schaeffer's
Ruling on clarification was filed March 24, 1974. The City did not appeal
the Ruling.
It is clear that from January until March of 1974, there was no delay
whatsoever on the part of the City. Plaintiffs in essence agreed to
postpone action pending Judge Schaeffer's decision. Case law also
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIIIES
B
substantiates that the City had every right to seek clarification on
applicability of other local codes. Anundson v. Chicago, 256 N.E.2d 1
(Ill. 1970).
' 2. City followed zoning procedures as required �y law - March to
July 1974.
During the four month period between Judge Schaeffer's Ruling on
clarification in March and the rezoning of Plaintiffs' property in July,
the City of Iowa City followed the procedural requirements for rezoning in
a methodical and cautious manner. The City Council referred the rezoning
matters to Planning and Zoning within three weeks from the Ruling (April
16). As both Mr. White and Mr. Hayek testified at trial, there was some
delay in forwarding the Ruling to Mr. Hayek, apparently due to the fact
the Clerk of Court sent the Ruling to Mr. Jay Honohan, former City
Attorney. This certainly cannot be construed as purposeful delay.
Mr. Hayek also spoke of other "pressing" matters. See Transcript of
Tapes, page 3. Knowing full well the heavy workload and pressure of
deadlines under which lawyers frequently labor, surely it cannot be said
that the City had any intent whatsoever to cause Plaintiffs harm. There
is no evidence that the three-week period between the Ruling (March 24)
i
and the City Council's referral to the Planning and Zoning Commission
(April 16) was the result of any willful or malicious purpose to harm.
Such conduct on the part of the City does not rise to the level of
i
'• negligence, to say nothing of malice or ill -will.
` I a. Zoning procedures must be strictly followed.
It is the cardinal principle of construction in connection with
zoning ordinances that zoning enactments under the City's police power
must be pursuant to the enabling statute. 2 YOKELY, ZONING LAW IN
PRACTICE Section 9-4, at 32 (3d ed. 1967); B & H Investments, Inc. v. City
of Coralville, 209 N.W.2d 115 (Iowa 1973). Under Iowa law, the zoning
power as delegated from the state must be strictly construed. E. g.,

Granger v. Board of Adjustment, 44 N.W.2d 399, 402 (Iowa 1950). Sections
414.1 through 414.5, Code of Iowa (1979) establish the City's powers, and
". . . prescribe the requirements for adoption of zoning
ordinances and define procedural requirements for amending zoning
ordinances." Velie Outdoor Advertising v. City of Sioux City, 252
N.W.2d 408 (Iowa 1 -
Sections 414.4, .5 and .6, Code have remained substantially
unchanged since 1939. Section 414.4 requires that the City Council
provide for zoning restrictions and boundaries, and that no such
regulations
" .shall become effective until after a public hearing in
relation thereto, at which parties in interest and citizens shall
have an opportunity to be heard."
Section 414.4 also requires adequate notice of hearing be given:
"At least fifteen days notice of the time and place of such
hearing shall be published in a paper of general circulation in such
city."
Section 8.10.32 of the Iowa City Code of Ordinances (1962) also contains
the same notice and hearing requirements. See Defendant's Exhibit "A".
In addition, Chapter 414 provides for a "zoning commission"
f
i which in Iowa City is a combined Planning and Zoning Commission. Section
414.6 sets forth the duties of this commission, and requires the Council
1 to refer zoning matters to the commission. The commission, in turn, must
". . .with due diligence, prepare a preliminary report and hold
public hearings thereon before submitting its final report, and such
council shall not hold itsup blit hearings or take action until it
has received the final report of such commission." Section 414.6,
Code [emphasis added].

The procedural requirements for amendments as well as original enactments
are the same. Section 414.5, Code. There is no Iowa case law on "due
diligence" under Chapter 414.
This lengthy and complex procedure was not designed for rapid change.
Indeed, the rationale behind zoning procedures is to deliberately
discourage sudden change. One noted authority on municipal law explains:
"However, to protect zoned areas against capricious, sudden or
ill-considered chances, whether district boundaries oI of the
classl— ifi— 'cation of permissible and prohibited uses, there are
statutory requirements governing procedure in the enactment,
amendment or repeal of zoning ordinances. ."
[emphasis added]. 8A MCQUILLIN, LAW
OF MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS Section 25.245, at 173 (3d ed. 1967),
b. City strictly complied with zoning rocedures under advice
of legal counsel.
In the case at bar, the City had no choice but to strictly
follow procedural requirements, notwithstanding Judge Schaeffer's
direction to take action "immediately." Indeed, these procedural
restraints cut against hasty action. It was the City's understanding that
the Order did not mean to rezone immediately, but to take immediate action
to rezone, which in fact was done. It should also be remembered that
Judge Schaeffer had roundly chastised the City for not holding hearings
prior to ,the original zoning of Amerex to RIA. As the Councilmembers
i
testified, they wanted to do it right this time.
i
j
Therefore, the referral to the Commission in April, the staff —
re ort and hearing before the Commission in May, the re ort back to the
Council May 21 .recommending R3A zoning, the notice for setting a public
hearing May 21, and theuP blit hearing on June 18 were cautiously and
meticulously carried out. This procedure was'also recommended by City
h I
Attorney John Hayek. Plaintiffs should not now be heard to complain that
the City was acting according to law.
In addition, testimony presented by the City demonstrates that
the three-month period between referral and adoption of the ordinance

■
amendment was entirely consistent with the usual custom and practice of
the City. Councilmember Brandt testified that the Council rarely chose to
give all three readings of an ordinance on one night, and certainly did
not do so for controversial properties such as Amerex. The fact that the
City was acting upon advice of counsel in following these procedures
negates any inference of ill -will or wrongful purpose.
Failure to comply with these statutory procedures would have
left Plaintiffs' rezoned property again subject to challenge. A
Connecticut court explains the dangers:
"Failure to comply with any of the required steps
constitutes a jurisdictional defect. . .it would result in a
lack of due process of law. . .this [public hearing] is not a
technical requirement difficult of performance by the unwary.
It is dictated by common sense for protection of an established
neighborhood to be subject to change only after fair notice."
Hutchison v. Board of Zoning Appeals of Stratford, 83 A.2d 201
onn. 1 5iT.
See also MCQUILLIN, Section 25.251; B & H Investments, supra. Judge
Schaeffer's Order did not relieve the City of these procedural
constraints.
Iowa law has also recognized that protecting the due process
rights of surrounding property owners, preserving the character of the
neighborhood, stabilizing property values and considering the aesthetics
of an area are legitimate exercises of the police powers pursuant to
zoning. Plaza Recreational Center v. Sioux Com, 111 N.W.2d 758, 764
(Iowa 1961); Stoner McCray System v. City of Des Moines, 78 N.W.2d 843
(Iowa 1956); see also Section 414.3 which sets forth zoning
considerations.
Failure to follow these procedures may well have subjected the
City to due process challenges. See also Village of Arlington Heights v.
Metropolitan Housing Development, 429 U.S. 269 (1977) where the United
States Supreme Court recognized density restrictions and reliance on such
restrictions by neighboring property owners as proper policy concerns.

CEDAR RAPIDS -DES I110111ES
M�
12
The Court also held that no inference of improper purpose was found where
the Village refused to rezone based on such concerns. Arlington Heights,
supra, at 269-70.
In the case at bar, the City proceeded to consider rezoning of
Plaintiffs' property on four consecutive meetings after the June 18 public
hearing. The rezoning Amendment was given its third and final reading on
July 16 and was adopted by the City Council that same evening. Thus, the
Council had actually rezoned the Plaintiffs' property within a three-
month period between April 16 and July 16, 1974. Considering the
constraints within which governmental bodies must operate, this time
period is entirely reasonable.
3. City had discretionary responsibility to selectrp oper zoning
classifications.
i
Based on a separation of powers theory, the majority rule is that
zoning is a legislative act which should be accorded every deference
unless arbitrary or capricious. In Iowa, there is a strong presumption of
validity afforded zoning ordinances; and if the classiciations are
"...fairly debatable, the legislative judgment must be allowed to
control." E. g., Brackett v. City of Des Moines, 67 N.W. 2d 542, 547 48
(Iowa 1954). Local governing bodies are generally in a better position to
assess the particular needs of the community. E. g., City of Miami v.
Woolin, 387 F.2d 893 (5th Cir. 1968). Zoning boundaries and classifica-
tions are therefore regarded as the task of the local zoning body, and a
court has no authority to actually rezone. E. q., City of Richmond v.
Randall, 211 S.E.2d 56, 61-62 (Va. 1975); see also MCQUILLIN, Sections
25.298, 25.299 and 25.300, and cases cited at 390-93.
In Iowa, where rezoning is regarded as a legislative act, the rules
stated in MCQUILLIN would apply:
"In some jurisdictions, a judicial decree may compel an
amendment of a zoning ordinance, or the rezoning or reclassification
I
MICROFILMED BY

13
of areas or properties, although, where such a doctrine is in effect,
usually the actual zoning or rezoning is regarded as the function of
appropriate zon nq authorities, not a ro er function of a court.
Id., at 391. (Emphasis added.
MCQUILLIN goes on to explain:
"A decree of this character may order the convening of the
municipal legislative body without undue delay to take legislative
action in compliance with the decree." Id.
However, selection of specific zoning classifications remains within
the discretion of the zoning authority. Wood v. Twin Lakes Mobile Homes
Village, Inc., 123 So.2d 738, 744 (Fla. 1960); City of Richmond, supra, at
61; Orange County v. Butler Estates Corporation, 328 So.2d 864, 865 (Fla.
App. 1976). A limited exception has developed in a few states where it
appears the zoning authority could reasonably reach only.one conclusion,
or where local authorities flatly refuse to comply. Pascack Association,
Ltd. v. Mayor and Council of Township of Washington, 329 A.2d 89 (N.J.
1974); see also MCQUILLIN, Section 25.98 at 390.
In the case at bar, Judge Schaeffer implicitly recognized the court's .
limited power to intervene in city government by leaving it up to the city
to select the appropriate zoning classification. As explained to the
i
Council in a letter from John Hayek dated April 15, 1974, the City was
required to rezone the 7.05 acre tract to allow construction of the 108
apartment units. Questions of density, however, were raised by City
Councilmembers, since the R3A zoning of the entire 7.05 acres would have
permitted almost three times the number of units. The next "higher" zone
of R3 would only have allowed 102 units. It was this dilemma with the
"mathematics," as Mr. Pat White described it, that led the Council to
refer aop rtion of the Amerex property back to the Planning and Zoning
Commission for study on July 16, 1974. This referral in no way
jeopardized the 108 units.
As presented in testimony before the trial court and as revealed in
the tapes of the City Council meetings, the Councilmembers had long -

standing and genuine concerns for the effect of multiple dwellings
generally in the North Dubuque area. The specific concerns articulated at
trial include: traffic, complete lack of schools in the area, no public
transportation, fire protection problems, sewer deficiencies, and the
goal of maintaining North Dubuque as a non-commercial area. All these
concerns center ultimately on density. Based on these factors, plus the
overriding desire to protect the one remaining unspoiled natural entrance
to the City, it is little wonder the Council struggled once again with
density. This struggle, however, was in no way intended to prevent the
Plaintiffs from constructing their apartments. After the decision not to
appeal, it was a given that Plaintiffs would in fact build the 108
apartments
Case law supports the City's contention that considerations of
density and community interests are properly the role of the zoning
authority, even where rezoning is done under court order. , Thus, for
Plaintiffs to argue that the City improperly considered' community
interests is patently contrary to case authority. In Orange County,
supra, the court held that where a local authority had been ordered to
rezone and had in fact rezoned an area to a density lower than the
plaintiff originally requested, the county had nonetheless acted
properly.
The plaintiff in Oran a County had successfully challenged the
zoning ordinance, and on remand the county held several public hearings
before rezoning. The Florida Court of Appeals stated:
"Notwithstanding this figure [6.1 units per acre] is less than
the 19.1 units per acre permitted the adjacent property,. . . the
zoning authority has presented ample evidence of considerations that
affected its decision and made it a fairly debatable one." Orange
County, supra, at 866.
These considerations included density, use, similarities to adjoining
property, soil, flood area, shape, proximity to commercial zone, and
graded density.

Although the dissenting judge disagreed with the decision on other
grounds, Judge Downey in his dissenting opinion did agree that rezoning to
a lower density was nonetheless proper. Judge Downey noted:
"But there is no suggestion here of bad faith on the part of the
appellants [county]. On the contrary, the record is replete with
evidence that all of the parties have extended themselves in an
effort to resolve this controversy in a manner consistent with their
divergent views. So we have no reason to believe that the appellants
would not once again in good faith attempt to follow the instructions
of the court and exercise their legislative discretion fa�irland
reasonably." Orange County, su ra, at 868. Empha added].
In other words, the Florida court recognized - indeed expected - that
the local body would be concerned with density in complying with the court
order to rezone. The court also realized the natural but valid conflict
between private and public interests, to be resolved "...in a manner
consistent with their divergent views." Id.
I
4. Case law indicates City acted in timely manner to rezone and
thereby complied with Order in0000d faith.
There is no case law directly on point as to how much time is
I
reasonable for complying with a court order to rezone. Plaintiffs did not
request a specific time for compliance, nor did Judge Schaeffer set forth
any particular deadline. However, several courts have faced the question
of reasonable compliance in the context of deciding what relief should be
afforded a successful challenger in a zoning conflict.
Most courts agree that a local body is entitled to a reasonable time
in which to comply with a court order, and to resolve the conflict between
public and private interests. Pascack, supra, at 95-96. In Alcorn v.
jLty of Rochester Zoning Board of Adjustment, 341 A.2d 269 (N.H. 1975),
the court reasoned that one (1) year was sufficient time to respond, and
the Board's complete inaction justified granting plaintiff's request. A
New Jersey court found that nine (9) months was sufficient time to rezone
a plaintiff's property; and held that by reason of the township's default,
the court was justified in intervening to compel compliance and retained

CEDAR RAPIDS -DES t101REs
16
equitable jurisdiction. Pascack, supra, at 92-93. In Pascack the
township was ordered to rezone January 1973 and no action had been taken
by October 4, 1973.
In Burns v. City of Des Peres, 534 F.2d 103, 111-12 (8th Cir. 1976),
i
the court of appeals found that the five (5) months which elapsed between
plaintiff's request for a variance and the Board's rejection was not
sufficient to raise an inference of animus or bad faith. In Megel v. City
of Papillion, 207 N.W.2d 377, the city had been ordered to construct
drainage facilities within six months of the decree issued January 7,
1971. Upon an Order to Show Cause in a contempt proceeding, the court
held that failure to comply within one L11 year was "willful contempt" but
that mitigating circumstances made it inappropriate to impose a penalty
(January 1971 to December 1971).
An old Massachusetts case is cited for the proposition that contempt
is a proper method to force recalcitrant cities to comply with a court
order. Commonwealth v. Town of Hudson, 52 N.E.2d 566, 574 (Mass 1943).
However, the Massachusetts court decided that even though the town had
failed to chlorinate its water in eleven months, the defendant was
entitled to a second chance.
i
i
As discussed above, only complete default on the part of the local
body would constitute bad faith and justify judicial interference by way
of injunction. Orange County, supra.
Based on a review of these decisions, the periods running from five
months to one year were held reasonable. In the case at bar, the City
actually rezoned the subject property in four (4) months and therefore
complied with the court Order in a reasonable and timely fashion. Even
considering the July referral to the Planning and Zoning Commission for
possible rezoning of a portion of the property, this proposal was rejected
October 24 and November 5, 1974. These time frames are well within what
other courts have held to be reasonable for purposes of complying with the
court order.

In addition, these later actions by the City were never intended, nor
did they in fact, interfere with Plaintiffs' rights and abilities to
commence construction of the 108 units. In light of the policy concerns
of density restrictions and adjoining property values which are
recognized by the courts as valid, the seven M month period from March
24,1974 to November 5, 1974 falls clearly within the bounds of
reasonableness. Such compliance also constitutes good faith as discussed
in the cases, for the City at no time sat back and did nothing.
Conversely, it cannot be said that four months or even seven months are
clearly unreasonable under the circumstances.
Therefore, the City respectfully requests the trial court find that
Plaintiffs have failed to state a cause of action for intentional
i
interference with business opportunity, since the City rezoned the
j property in a reasonable and timely fashion. Thus, the City is entitled
i
to dismissal as a matter of law.

Interference with a prospective business opportunity is a relatively
new cause of action sounding in tort. Clark v. Lige, 181 N.W.2d 211, 213

1. the existence of a valid business expectency;
2. knowledge of the expectancy on the part of the interferer;
3. a purposeful intent to bring about such interference; and

336, 340 (Iowa 1977). Mere interference is not sufficient to state a
claim, even when the defendant knew or had reason to know that the
interference was certain to follow. Farmers Co-op. Elevator, Inc. v.
State Bank, 236 N.W.2d 674, 681 (Iowa 1975). Thus, a specific ur ose to

11 .must have acted in part at least for theuur ossee of
brim ing it [ the interference] about."' Id., quoting from
RESTATEMENT OF TOUTSS (SE OND 5 766A, Coi nt d (OT7).
The Iowa Supreme Court explained:
"To give rise to a viable cause of action, however, the actor
must have as at least one of his objects theuD rpose to injure or
destroy the plaintiff." Id. [Emphasis added].
i
See also PROSSER, Section 130, at 953-54.
In addition, actual loss or resultant damage to the plaintiff is an
essential element. In Stoller Fisheries, supra, at 341, the court stated:
"It is our view that the mere possibility, or even probability,
that an event causing damages will result from the mere breach of
American's [defendant's] duty not to intentionally interfere... does
j not render American's alleged wrongful act actionable."
And again, a breach of duty not to interfere
" causing only nominal damages, speculative harm, or the
threat of future harm - not yet realized - will not ordinarily
suffice to create a cause of action under this tort." Id.
Iowa has therefore adopted the RESTATEMENT'S higher degree of
culpability, namelyup rpose to in.iure. This purpose to injure or destroy
is not required for interference with an existing contract. Simple intent
to act with consequences substantially certain to follow is sufficient for
the older tort. Farmers Co-op, supra, at 679. Regarding this higher
degree of culpability, Mr. Prosser points out that ". . .some element of
ill will is seldom absent from intentional interference;...." PROSSER,
supra, at 953.
In other words, Plaintiffs herein are required to show by a prepond-
erance of the evidence that the City of Iowa City, acting through its
agents, employees and officials, held feelings of spite, hatred or ill -

will, or common law malice; and by reason of these feelings, acted to
purposely interfere with Plaintiffs' business. There is no showing of a
spiteful purpose to harm Plaintiffs, nor any personal spite, hatred or
ill -will. Nor can any such purpose be inferred under the circumstances.
As discussed above, although John Hayek counseled against
considering rezoning a portion of Amerex to R3 in the July 16, 1974
meeting, the Councilmembers' comments nevertheless indicate that their
concerns over density were bona fide concerns and honestly held. The
reasons articulated by the Councilmembers dispel any notion of an improper
motive, as shown by the questions and comments by Pat White, Carol
deProsse, Dennis Kraft, John Hayek and Mayor Czarnecki found in the
Transcript of Tapes for the July 16, 1974 meeting.
Indeed, the two Councilmembers who were most reluctant to leave the
property entirely 113A articulated that their actual intent was to insure
Plaintiffs' ability to proceed with construction of 108 units. There is
no reason to question the integrity of these beliefs.
The City's only purpose in this referral.back to the Commission was
to restrict density to 108 rather than 300 units. Pursuant to the court
Order, the City acted lawfully in so doing. As noted above, Iowa
recognizes density as a proper zoning consideration. So also, the United
States Supreme Court has explicitly held that density is a legitimate
criterion for rezoning decisions. Arlington Heights, supra, at 269-70;
see also Belle Terre v. Boraas, 416 U.S. 1, 9 (1974), and Orange County,
supra, at 865 ff. It is therefore the City's position that these purposes
were proper zoning concerns in the case before us.
1. No Improper Motive.
The ordinary standard of review for social and economic legislation
is rational basis. Belle Terre, supra. However, where racial discrimi-
nation is alleged, inquiry into motives for zoning decisions is required.
Even applying a closer standard of judicial scrutiny, the United States
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS- DES MOVIES
M
20
Supreme Court concluded that zoning decisions motivated by a "'legitimate
desire to protect property values and the integrity of the Village's
zoning plan"' was proper. Arlington Heights, supra, at 273 (White, J.,
dissenting). While inquiry into motivation is required in the context of
alleged racial discrimination, even here the Court has held that a city's
refusal to rezone which resulted in a racially disparate impact is not
unconstitutional. Challengers must now prove that the underlying
motivating purpose was racially discriminatory. Id.
In Arlington Heights, where the Village had consistently applied its
buffer policy of graduated densities in refusing rezoning requests, the
Court held that such consistency negated any inference of discrimination.
Realizing full well the issue of race discrimination is not before us
here, the Court's analysis of improper motives is nevertheless
instructive. It is the City's contention that in an inquiry of the
Councilleelnbers' motives herein the only logical finding is that the
density and other policy concerns were proper; and in the absence of any
other invidious or malicious purpose, this court must conclude the City
has not acted with a "purpose to injure or destroy." Farmers Coop,
i
1
supra, at 681.
The City respectfully requests this court find that the City has not
i,
acted to purposefully injure or harm Plaintiffs or interfere with their
business opportunity, and that Plaintiffs have failed to prove an
essential element of the tort.
2. Plaintiffs have failed to demonstrate cause in fact or
I
proximate cause.
Historical trends in the law of tort have been premised on the theory
of no liability without fault. PROSSER, Sections 7-8. So also, fairness
requires that liability cannot attach where no causal link exists between
the actor's conduct and the victim's injury.

In the case at bar, there is little or no evidence that the City's
actions were the cause in fact of Plaintiffs' alleged harm. Plaintiffs
contend they were ready to build in February 1974. However, Mr. Paulson
testified for Plaintiffs that the purpose of his trip to the Civic Center
in February of 1974 was to get information on new specifications in the
plumbing and electrical codes. Plaintiffs would also have us believe that
the original 1963 design plans were ready to be used in February but were
obsolete in July of that same year. This argument stretches one's
imagination. In addition, Mr. Byron Ross testified that Plaintiffs had
sufficient assets to proceed in 1974 by carrying their own project, as
other developers were then doing. However, he advised against it.
Common sense dictates that the 1963 construction plans were outmoded
long before January of 1974. Mr. Paulson testified that he advised
Plaintiffs to "scrap" the old plans in July 1974. He also testified he
would have had to spend several weeks or even months in drawing up new
j
plans using different (materials. There was nothing preventing Plaintiffs
j
from doing just that after July 16, 1974. Although of dubious probative
weight in this case, even Mr. Fisher's response to hypothetical question
number three was that financing would be available once the ordinance was
passed and a building permit available. This was in fact true as of July
16, 1974. However, Plaintiffs' testimony made clear that there were no
applications made for financin at 2ny time Burin 1974.
The truth is that the Plaintiffs were not prepared to proceed with
construction in July of 1974, there were no plans being prepared, they had
in fact discarded the 1963 plans, and had not even started putting a loan
I! package together. Surely no lending institution would seriously consider
a loan of $750,000 to $800,000 without specific design plans which
included cost estimates, construction schedules, etc.
Mr. Radcliffe testified that this size loan was simply too big for
local banks, and that the inflationary economy impacted heavily on
construction starts in 1974-75. The Plaintiffs would have us believe that
their difficulties were the direct result of the City's conduct. Such a
conclusion is not only untenable but grossly unfair.
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES

^; 22
A more logical explanation is that the Plaintiffs were somewhat
caught by surprise when they won the first case, could not get permanent
financing locally because the job was too big, the money market was tight
and construction slow, and the 1963 plans were simply obsolete. It would
be completely unreasonable under this set of circumstances to find that
the "efficient producing cause" of Plaintiffs' difficulties was the
City's action. Iowa Security Company v. Schaefer, 126 N.W.2d 922, 925
(Iowa 1964). It would also be grossly unfair to the City to attach
liability for the economic and business variables which are beyond the
City's control. Through no doing of the City, the financial climate had
changed. Surely the Plaintiffs cannot in good conscience attribute this
change to the City. And it certainly cannot be said that the City was
either the cause in fact or even the proximate cause of such changes.
In sum, it would be unconscionable to place the blame on the City for
the circumstances presented here.
C. PLAINTIFFS HAVE FAILED TO PROVE ACTUAL DAMAGES.
The Iowa Supreme Court recently held that actual loss or resultant
damage is an essential element to state a cause of action for intentional
interference with a business opportunity. Stoller Fisheries, supra, at
341. "[T]he mere possibility, or even probability, that an event causing
damages will result" is not sufficient to render the event actionable.
Id. [Emphasis added.] It is the City's contention that Plaintiffs have
failed to prove an essential element, and are therefore barred from
recovery.
Even assuming arguendo that the City is liable, Plaintiffs have
completely failed to prove any actual damages by competent and reliable
evidence, and at best are entitled only to nominal damages. Construction
was not in progress at any time during 1974, so any attempted measure is
pure guesswork. Indeed, Plaintiffs did nothing to take advantage of the
July rezoning which they so earnestly desired.
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 140111ES
23
In addition, most if not all Plaintiffs' case was based on responses
to hypothetical questions, resulting in purely theoretical and
speculative evidence. This was not the proper method of proof under the
circumstances. Only Mr. Paulson had any personal knowledge of the
situation in 1974. His testimony was based on rough estimates without any
supporting documents. He admitted he had never made formal application
for a building permit at any time during 1974. He also testified that
July was too late to bid out a construction project because winter costs
were too high. Yet, Mrs. Hillman earlier testified that Plaintiffs broke
ground in January 1978 for their new buildings.
After the property was rezoned in July 1974, Mr. Paulson testified he
advised Plaintiffs to start over and did not in fact have any new plans
drawn up to present to the City or to a lending institution until many
years later. Thus, there is no basis on which to assess damages at any
time during 1974, and none whatsoever as of July 16, 1974.
This is not a case where the City absolutely refused to comply, or
where construction was already underway and actually delayed. In the only
case found where increased construction costs were awarded as a result of
i
I
delays, the basis for recovery was a supersedeas bond issued on a motion
i
i to stay the construction. Weiner v. 222 East Chestnut Street Corporation,
303 F2d 630, 634 (7th Cir. 1962). However, in that case construction was
I
commenced in August 1956 and continued until the supersedeas and stay
i
order of September 1956. Thus, construction was stopped by order of the
court and recovery was based on contract rights under the bond. We have
no such situation here.
D. PLAINTIFFS FAILED TO MITIGATE DAMAGES.
Plaintiffs are claiming damages for a period during which they made
little or no good faith effort to mitigate. This duty to mitigate damages
is a fundamental principle of law, based on the premise that one should
not be allowed to profit from another's wrong. Plaintiffs' Petition
claims damages only to July 1974. Even assuming the City is liable, which
MICRDFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 110IRES
24
we justly contest, the evidence is clear that the Plaintiffs in essence
"rested on their rights" as follows:
- no plans were left with City staff to review during
1974 for compliance with plumbing, fire, electrical
and building codes;
- no formal applications were made for a building
permit;
- no inquiries were made to the City Council, the
Planning and Zoning Commission or the City Attorney
regarding construction schedules;
i
I - no requests were made to Judge Schaeffer to compel
compliance;
i - no requests were made to Judge Schaeffer to set a
specific time limit for compliance;
i
- no proposed completion dates were ever negotiated;
- only two written communications were sent to the
City, the first received the date of rezoning July
16, and the second just prior to filing this lawsuit
September 25;
- no new plans were designed in 1974, after the 1963
plans were deemed obsolete.
I
I
In a word, Plaintiffs sat back and did little or nothing until
October, when they apparently realized how bad the economy was; and now
attempt to attach liability for their own lack of diligence and the
inflationary difficulties. This raises the issue of Plaintiffs' own good
faith efforts.
The principles behind tort theories for compensation in order to make
the victim whole is simply inapposite in the case at bar. On July 16,
1974, Mr. White asked, "Why can't we go ahead and issue a building
r permit?" Mr. Hayek responded: "We could do that, Mr. White, and I assume
that one of the reasons we have not is that they have not applied for a
building permit." See Transcript of Tapes, page 28.
The inevitable conclusion is that the Plaintiffs were not in fact
prepared to proceed with construction at any time during 1974, and that
even assuming the City had immediately rezoned, the Plaintiffs were simply
not in a position to take advantage of such a situation. In the Weiner
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES
W
25
case discussed above, damages were allowed because construction had
commenced, construction completion dates had been established, and
financing had been obtained on the basis of expected completion. The
construction in Weiner was forced to stop under court order, and recovery
was allowed on the basis of the bond provided. We have no such situation
here.
It is respectfully submitted that the court find that Plaintiffs have
failed .to prove actual damages. Alternatively, only nominal damages are
in order. Further, damages cannot be assessed after July 16, 1974, since
Plaintiffs at no time made a motion to conform their pleadings.
C. MONEY DAMAGES SHOULD NOT BE AWARDED IN ZONING CONFLICTS AS AGAINST
PUBLIC POLICY.
An award of money damages in the case at bar would set a dangerous
precedent for local authorities with zoning responsibilities. The City
argues herein that money damages for unreasonable delay, or for
intentional interference with business opportunities, are simply not the
proper relief for a successful challenger of a zoning ordinance. Such
relief would thrust the courts into the realm of pure speculation and
would impose an intolerable legislative and fiscal burden on cities.
Damages should therefore be rejected on public policy grounds.
Damages based on lost business opportunities should be rejected in a
zoning conflict based on problems of proof, especially where no actual
construction is underway. Such expectancies are by nature speculative
because they are based on business acumen, to say nothing of variables
such as the "cost" of money, the health of the construction industry, and
fluctuating prices due to inflation. All of these variables are outside
the control of a city, and indeed are often beyond the control of the
entrepreneur himself, to say nothing of the business community in general.
In the case before us, to attribute increased construction costs
resulting from obsolete plans and the changing money market to the City is
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES IIORIES
26
speculative at best and specious at worst. A finding of culpability
herein would set a dangerous precedent, and would work economic hardship
on local governments and place an unwarranted burden on Iowa City. It
would also have a chilling effect on legislative responsibilities.
Further, this court should carefully and cautiously weigh the
ramifications of awarding damages in a zoning context, especially where
the issue of relief for successful zoning challengers is now being
i
heatedly debated. Even the most ardent proponents of "site-specific
relief" for discriminatory zoning do not condone damages. E.
Developments -Zoning, 91 HARV. L. REV. 1427, 1692 ff. (1978); see also
Exclusionary Zoning Relief, 12 URB. L. ANN. 21, 24 ff. (1976). Perhaps as
i
one court has put it, contempt proceedings are not the proper method to
enforce compliance against a city. Pascack supra, at 96. Cf. Hudson,
supra, at 574; and Meael, Supra, at 379. Other courts have preferred
remand to the appropriate zoning authority while retaining jurisdiction.
Wood v. Twin Lakes Nobile Nome Villa es, Inc., 123 S2d 738, 744 (Fla. App.
1960). This latter procedure seems preferable.
i
i
A few states have recognized a cause of action in inverse
condemnation for damages to real "confiscatory"
property resulting from confiscatory
zoning.
The California courts which pioneered the inverse condemnation action,
however, now seem to be retreating from their original approach to such
damage claims. In HFH, Ltd., v. Su erior Court of Los Angeles County, 542
P.2d 237 (Cal. 1975), the plaintiff sought damages in inverse condemnation
for diminished property values for the city's refusal to rezone. The
plaintiff also sought interim damages during the pendency of their mandate
action. The court held that plaintiff had failed to state a claim for
inverse condemnation, as well as for interim damages. The court rejected
the tort theory as insufficient to state a cause of action in damages by
reason of an invalid zoning ordinance, stating:
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
M,
27
"In so arguing, however, they (plaintiffs) overlooked the
distinction between a tort suit and a mandate action; the former
enables the wronged plaintiff to recover compensatory damages; the
latterep rmits a party suffering from improper overg_ nmentel action
to correct administrative abuse. The cases have long acknowledged
This idsting, one deeply rooted in the theory of our polity."
HFH, Ltd., supra, at 244. [Emphasis added].
Judge Tobriner continued:
"Courts have thus recognized that.'[o]f course, it is not a tort
for government to govern. ' [citations omitted] Both
constitutional and institutional understandings require the legisla-
tive acts, even_ if improper, find their iudicial remedy in the
Id. Ltmpnasts
One commentator argues against awarding money damages in a zoning
challenge, and cites compelling public policy concerns for this position.
Inverse Condemnation, 26 STAN. L. REV. 1439, 1449 ff. (1974). The onus
of money damages in making policy decisions would indeed have a chilling
effect on legislation and place an impossible and unpredictable financial
burden on local government. The commentator points out correctly that the
governing body is in a better position to weigh social costs and benefits,
and concludes:
"Invalidation, rather than .forced compensation, would seem to
be the more expedient means of remedying legislative excesses." Id.,
at 1451.
Even California is now taking a stricter approach by requiring an election
I
of remedies in zoning challenges. A concern for separation of powers is
also evident. E. g., Eldridge v. City of Palo Alto, 124 Cal. Rptr. 547,
I
559 (1975) (Sims, J., dissenting).
The City respectfully requests the court find that an action for
money damages for delays in rezoning be barred in Iowa as against public
policy, especially where the delays were reasonably and rationally
explained under the circumstances.

IV. CONCLUSION
In the case at bar, the trial court should not lose sight of the fact
that the City's duty to act in 1974 ran not only to the individual
Plaintiffs but also to the surrounding neighborhood, the community in
general, and to complying with zoning requirements. As a result, the City
had little choice but to strictly follow the state and local zoning
procedures, as well as to respect due process rights. The Council had
consistently been concerned over density in the North Dubuque area, and
thus the City's purpose in referring the matter back to the Planning and
Zoning Commission was to limit density to 108 units, rather than the 300
units permitted under R3A.
There is absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the City staff, the
Councilmembers or other agents ever acted to willfully, purposefully or
maliciously harm or destroy Plaintiffs' business opportunity. The
dialogue found in the Transcript of Tapes for the July 16, 1974 City
Council meeting demonstrates that no such wrongful or spiteful purpose
existed. If Plaintiffs had come in the following week with plans and
application for a permit, there is no question the construction would have
proceeded.
Dialogue which followed on July 16, 1974 was, in pertinent part, as
follows:
"MR. WHITE. . .I don't see any jeopardy to the 108 unit plan by
going that route. . . .the problem, of course, is the differential we
have between R3 and R3A is so great that the mathematics just work
out badly for the rezoning;. . .
MR. WHITE: Why can't we go ahead and issue a building permit?
We have been ordered to issue a building permit.
MR. HAYEK: We could do that, Mr. White, and I assume that one
of the reasons we have not is that they have not applied for a
building permit.
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES IIOIRES
r
29
MS. DEPROSSE: John, the whole thing would have to go back to
P&Z, or just that portion we plan to zone R3?
MR. HAYEK: That portion.
MS. DEPROSSE: Then they could still get their building permit.
MR. HAYEK: . . .They could go ahead and build that.
MAYOR CZARNECKI: Well, procedurally, they could yet a building
permit if we did that tonight, to allow for 108 units. Go ahead
(inaudible).
MR. HAYEK: That would be correct.
MS. DEPROSSE: I think it is a matter of finding something we
can legally (inaudible) while at the same time preserve something of
the character, whatever you care to call it, that we need to be able
to preserve in that area."
This discussion clearly demonstrates there was no wrongful purpose
to interfere with the construction of the permitted 108 units, nor to harm
or interfere with Plaintiffs' rights to proceed with construction.
The City respectfully submits that Plaintiffs have failed to state a
cause of action for intentional interference with business opportunity.
The City's actions were reasonable under the circumstances, and thus as a
matter of law there was noup rpose to harm or destro . Alternatively,
Defendant requests judgment for the City for failure to prove the
essential elements of the tort, since there is no evidence whatsoever of
malicious or spiteful ill -will.

October 19, 1979
Mr. Jack Watson
Assistant to the President
White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
Washington, D.C.
Dear Mr. Watson:
I
This letter will provide written confirmation and additional detail
concerning the matter of Iowa City's current status as an SMSA (Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area) but not an Urbanized Area, which we
I discussed during your visit to Iowa City on October 18.
We are very concerned about this situation, particularly in regard to our
public transit system. Over the past decade, Iowa City has developed a
sophisticated and enormously popular local transit system, even though we
have never received any federal operating assistance. The past two years
have seen an explosive increase in operating costs, particularly in fuel,
parts, and labor, while at the same time the demand for transit service
I has increased over 30%. The net result has been a drastic increase in the
i burden placed upon our local resources.
For the past several years, we have eagerly anticipated the achievement of
SMSA status, believing that this designation would entitle our area to
additioSectionn5lofethe aUrban Mass sTransporitation Act ntransit oInrcomparing Iowaccitydto
other SMSA's in the State, it appears that we would be eligible for
transit assistance of as much as $400,000 per year.
Within the last month we have been designated as an SMSA; now, however, we
have discovered that SMSA status is not sufficient, and that we need to be
designated as an Urbanized Area in order to avail
UMTA assistance. Furthermoreourselves of Section 5
, we have been informed that Urbanized Area
designations are only made based on decennial census data. This in turn
means that Iowa City, although an SMSA, will not be eligible for this
I program until at least October 1981.
f Apparently there are a number of other cities that find themselves in a
{ situation similar to ours. Therefore, we request your assistance in
dealing with the Department of Transportation and perhaps the Bureau of
designatedltansSMSA, eems entirely
still wait illogical tt o yearsnorblongerffor een athe
Department of Transportation to confirm our eligibility for Urbanized

Area assistance. In the interim, it is very possible that Iowa City's
fine transit system may be forced to curtail service or raise fares
drastically.
We soI' y ur help in this matter, and look forward to your early reply.

Dear Members of the City Council:
This particiletter
pationby both the express

Thursday evening joint budget hearings.
We would like to re-emphasize the reason for the joint hearings:
the principal rationale is to acquaint all the funding bodies with

outd
scouting programs, even though only United Way funds them, since both
the city and the county are funding the social center at Mark IV.
We are aware of the demands made on your time. However, the
hearing process was conceived as an educational tool to acquaint
active citizens as well as governmental leaders with the needs of
our community. It is our feeling that participation in the hearings
saves the funding bodies both time•and money.
May we suggest that, if you cannot attend, you may find it
advantageous to ask a staff person to participate to maintain a thread
Of continuity and to insure that you receive the benefit of the process?

3. Special Alley Project
This project concerns the north -south alley which runs from the Burlington Street -
Muscatine Avenue intersection to the Court Street -Oakland Avenue intersection.
$8,020 was originally set aside for a partial closing (southern half) and the
replacement of the broken concrete surface (northern half) of the alley. Two
surveys of neighborhood residents have been conducted, and a neighborhood meeting
was held. The residents of the immediate area generally favor erecting signs at
the alley for one-way traffic from north to south, and placing an asphalt topping
over the broken concrete.
This project will reduce traffic hazards at the Burlington -Muscatine intersection
The asphalt overlay should be placed to direct runoff away from the driveways
to the houses at 1241 E. Burlington and 1301 Muscatine.

point in time, there will be a total of $250,801.50 encumbered, or about
59%. This increase in money encumbered is due to contracts being awarded
on the following projects: Tree Planting, Beautification, and three areas
(Northside, Creekside and South Central) of the Sidewalk Repair. In
addition, $39,250.00 will have been expended through the Alley Graveling

From: CV*per

On September 17, 1979, you forwarded a letter to the City Council asking
° the City Council to interpret a provision of the Housing Code relating
to storm doors and windows. The ordinance governing the responsibilities
I of the Housing Board of Appeals states: "In order to provide for final
interpretation of the provisions of the Housing Code......, there is
hereby established a housing appeals board...." It is clear that the
role of the Housing Board of Appeals is to make such interpretations.
However, the City Council would certainly consider ordinance amendments
if you deemed such to be appropriate.
In addition, the City Council has directed the City Manager to request
the Resources Conservation Commission to review the materials relating
to the Town & Campus Apartments and to make appropriate recommendations
and interpretations of that material for your use.
If the staff can assist you further in this matter, please let me know.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. & Ms. Starck:
On October 10, 1979 I received a letter from you dated October 13, 1979,
i with carbon copies to four Council members in which you discussed your re-
roofing project of last fall. I have reviewed the letter and the file and
have attached a copy of a letter to you dated June 8, 1979, from Mr. Glenn
Siders in which he states the City's interpretation of the codes affecting
Your roof project. I especially wish to call your attention again to the
f last paragraph which states It is my ambition to have this roof become in
compl1 ou
wouldlance contacttusthe uniform it
andrelate what avenue or procedure you rwould eIike�usyto
go by. If you should have any questions concerning this letter please do
not hesitate to contact me at your convenience."
I The file does not indicate any correspondence from you indicating that you
wanted the City to assist you in your case against Clarence Hightshoe nor
I do we see any evidence that any other permits were taken out to correct
the work. I wish to again extend our offer of assistance, if you should
(! desire it, to help you pursue your claim against Mr. Hightshoe.
I remember discussing this matter with Ms. Starck on the telephone some
time prior to Mr. Siders' letter. As best as I can recall I remember that
You

Crtdffeedaxplaationthattaimpossiblefrthe iysaffto
provide any assistance regarding the inadequacy of the work performed by
your contractor until the work could be exposed. I recall your expressing
ij to me your apprehension in having any work torn out since everything was
finished inside your home. I also recall suggesting that in addition to
involving the City that you consider obtaining some legal counsel. Lastly
I recall you indicating that Mr. Hightshoe is no longer employed b
ou
and that you are retaining another contractor to complete the work on your
Ii property.
The City is well aware that the tearing out of a ceiling to expose
construction that may be in violation of the code is most disruptive and
can well understand your reluctance to allow this to be done, however, the
Building Inspector has, in the past, ordered contractors to remove finish
coverings to expose construction not inspected by the City. Since the
Building Permit issued to Hightshoe has not been closed, we are willing to

contact Hightshoe and order him to expose the structural members. Please
advise us if you are willing to allow this to be done.
Mr. Hightshoe did, in fact, 22p1Y for a Building Permit and although he
filed a plot plan, a sketch of your lot showing the location of your house
and yards, Mr. Hightshoe did not file a plan of the roof design or
specifications. The permit was not issued by the City until after a field
inspector saw work being performed on your residence, issued a stop work
order and Mr. Hightshoe picked up the permit after completing the job.
It should also be noted that the Building Code specifically requires that
a permit be obtained prior to performing structural alterations, that two
sets of plans be provided to the City and that the contractor call for
framing and final inspections.
Understanding the anquish that can be caused by questionable workmanship
and illegal procedures, especially compounded by the fact that as of this
time you still do not have the roof problems corrected, I can only
apologize for any failure on our part to better communicate our
willingness to assist you to rectify the problems or in extending our
offer of assistance.
If we can be of any assistance to help
winter weather sets in, we are most willig to resthis matter before

Mr. Neal C. Berlin
City Manager

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. Berlins
Ort. 13, 1979
RZCEI
Lately we have been reading in the Iowa City press about the "complete lack
of confidence in the upper management of the Housing, and Inspection Ser-
vices Department." Any homeowner in this city who has had an experience
similar to ours with the Housing and Inspection Services Department cer-
tainly would not be surprised at this allegation. In fact, if Mr.
Kucharzak needs something "specific" to respond to, he certainly should
feel free to take up our case.
We will try to make this brief and to the points Last fall we contracted
with a builder (Mr. Clarence Hightshoe of 1526 Broadway St.) to remodel
the roof on our house. In the process, we became highly dubious about his
workmanship and even whether he was complying with city building regu-
lations. It turned out he never had taken out a building permit even
though the job was nearing completion. Subsequent contacts between us
and officials of the Housing and Inspection Sercices (Mr. Franz, Mrs
siders and Mr. Kucharzak) indicated that the contractor had not complied
with the uniform building code. He did not file a complete set of build-
ing plans even when he finally obtained a permit. His work was not
subjected to close scrutiny by city inspectors. (Later, it turned out,
the work was faulty and had to be completely redone.)
In short, our experience indicated the inspection system was a sham and,
if anything, tended to solidify the seemingly cozy relationship between
city officials and the contractor.
In conclusion, we would like to quote from the Preface of the 1976 Edition
of "Dwell.ing, Construction under the Uniform Building Codevs
The standards of safe construction that are set out in the Uniform
Building Code are primarily founded upon health and safety but
will at the same time protect the owner's investment. By follow-
ing the requirements in this publication, the home builder will
gain the double satisfaction of complying, with the law and also
securing a dwelling of sound and durable construction.
These wor..* , based on our experience have a hollow rine,. Thus, it is not
surprising that there is a lack of confidence in the office of the City
Housing and Inspection Services. (By the way, we've spared you most of
the details of this entire episode; they are there for the asking.)

Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Starck
531 Whiting Avenue
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Starck:
As per a previous conversation by phone I am writing this letter to
indicate the position the Division of Building will take on the remodeling
project which occurred late in 1978 on your property.
On November 27, 1978, building permit #17546 was issued to Hightshoe and
Alber Construction Company to replace an existing flat roof with a gable
roof. It was proposed by the contractor that he would use either 242's to
span an 18' distance on 24" centers or he would use 2x6's to span the 18'
distance with a kneewall supporting the rafters at 9'. It is my opinion
that if this type rafter system was used on your project it would be in
compliance with the Uniform Building Code. As you are well aware this
Department did not have the opportunity to inspect this work before it was
closed so assurance of code compliance cannot be guaranteed. If you so
desire we could order you to open up the roof to inspect the construction
work and if it is incorrect or does not comply with Code we can order the
work repaired.or removed.
It is also my understanding that you are currently dealing with someone
else in hopes that you can come to agreement between Mr. Hightshoe and
another party to have the roof system redone. I understand you are in
belief that a new roof will have to be installed. If this is the case we
can look at the work that is now there at the time you start removal of the
roof to see if it complies with Code. This would allow you the opportunity
to not leave your entire house open for damage should a rain storm occur.

On Sheet k6 of the plan, the Grant Court right of way has the following
recommendation:
"The City -owned right of way for Grant Court at Rundell Street
should be sold for residential housing. Fill the right of way for
Grant Court at Grant Street."
The reason fill was recommended for the right of way on the west side of
the creek was the apparent location of a storm sewer bisecting the lot.
If enough room is available for a building site without moving this
storm sewer, the lot is then suitable for residential housing. As an
alternate, if additional space is needed, the storm sewer can be moved
to one side of -the lot. In other words, the only reason fill was suggested
is because it was thought the storm sewer running through the site made
the lot unusable. It will be necessary to maintain some type of storm
sewer through the right of way and preferably at least one depressed
ditch section running on one side of the lot to the creek should be
maintained.

s -No fees are charged for services.
-Volunteers are used in all of the agency's programs, as follows:
- Safety
- Nursing & Health
Volunteers trained in CPR, first aid, water safety
Volunteer nurses & nursing students
- Service to Military Families 3 on-call volunteers after business hours
- Disaster 10 on-call volunteers after business hours

-The Human Services Study on _E_mergency Assistance to Residents (November, 1977) cited
as its first priority a need for assistance in cases of disaster which involve less
than five families. It was noted in the study that the American Red Cross requires
its local chapters to provide assistance in cases of disaster which affect five or
more families. The local Red Cross at that time did not undertake to provide for
smaller disasters. However, a program was instituted to do this in 1978 and con-
tinues to provide for the meeting of this community need.
AMENDMENTS TO BUDGET INFORMATION
Calendar Year
Budget From 1
-1979 Ending Balance ($83) should be carried through to Beginning of 1980. This
would add $83 to TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE for 1980 (Line 6).
-Amounts shown for 1980 from Iowa City (Line 2b) and Johnson County (Line 2c)
should be half of the agency's FY 81 request, or $1,000 from each. This would
decrease TOTAL INCOME by $2,000.
-The $14,531 designated as payment to the American National Red Cross should be
included in GRAND TOTAL EXPENDITURES (Line 7, 1980 column); this figure would
then be $38,000. The $14,531 should not be reflected in the ending balance.
Fiscal (July -July) Year
Budget From 1
-The FY 79 ending balance should be - 1,079 instead of + 1,079. This changes the
following in the FY 80 column:
Lines 1 & Is - 1,079
Lines 3 & 6 -23,821
Line 8 (& Line 1, FY 81) - 2,158
-Program Services total (Line 12) for FY 79 is incorrect; it should be $26,265.

telephone ($240/year estimated value); and canned goods, books, clothes,
etc. ($250 in FY 80, $300 in FY 81 estimated dollar value).
-Overall staff/client ratio is 6 staff: 750 residents, or 1:125. This varies
with individual programming and number of student staff at a given time.
-The Center had 3,276 service contacts in 1978. Number of persons served in
1978 is given as 951 to 1,200 (depending on turnover rate).
-There are no fees charged for any of the Center's services:
-Complaints about services are given as follows:
1. Staff turnover is very high due to heavy reliance on students and
volunteers; it is, therefore, difficult to establish consistency
in programming and strong trust levels with Mark IV Community
members.
2. There is no worker on weekends or evenings.
3. Recreational 'facilities at the Mark IV complex are severely limited.
-Measures which would help to alleviate the above complaints are:
i
i
1. Adequate funding of continuous paid staff, including new positions of
a Latch Key worker with weekend hours and a full-time social worker.
(See p. 5 for more information).
2. Continued 'involvement with the Iowa City Recreation Department in
providing recreational services.
I -See the Center's GOALS AND OBJECTIVES statement for more specific information
on programs.
-The Human Services Studies on Juvenile Justice, Child Care, Families in Stress;
In -Home Support Services, and Emergency Assistance to Residents all addressed
needs which services offered at the Willow Creek Neighborhood Center attempt
to meet. Because these people often have low incomes, are single parents (or
children of single parents), or are elderly, the Center's programming must be
flexible and comprehensive.
• I
The following needs addressed by the Human Services studies are directly relevant:
1. Need for alternative recreational programming.
2. Before and after school child care (see information on proposed Latch Key
iProgram).
3. Emergency assistance for food, clothing, etc. (The Center serves as a
resource to residents in this area of need.)

for Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood,
STATUS OF SMALL CITIES PROJECT
Environmental Review
The Environmental Review Record (ERR) for the Small Cities project is now in the final stages
of preparation. A draft document has been prepared and has been reviewed by the Committee on
Community Needs (CCN). Information from the ERR draft has also been presented to residents
at a neighborhood meeting on September 12, 1979.
The final staff review of the ERR document is now underway. Upon completion, the final
document will be available for citizen review and comments. Publication of the required
public notices is schedule for November 1, 1979.
For additional information concerning the project's environmental review, please contact
Kevin Laverty of the Department of Planning and Program Development. Phone 354-1800, Ext.
324.
Council Action
The issue of loss of housing units to the project has been a concern to the City Council, CCN
and staff. The project, as originally proposed, would remove a total of 15 housing units.
from the lower Ralston Creek neighborhood. While the project proposes preparation of a
public housing site at Linn and Harrison Street, it has not been determined how many units
can be constructed at the location (it is estimated that, at a maximum, 6-10 units would be
provided).
In order to minimize the loss of housing units and hardship to home owners, Council has
directed staff to pursue these alternatives to removal of housing units:
1. Owner -occupants of homes not needed for actual channel improvements, but scheduled for
acquisition for redevelopment purposes, be offered either life estates (cgnti.0ued
occupancy for the life of current owners) or, where possible, the ve"Toocation stxl"",,
rehabilitation of their homes to other available and suitable sites.
2. Homes on properties needed for channel improvements, where possible, be relocated and
rehabilitated.
Of course, relocation assistance will be provided to all residents displaced by the project.
CITIZEN INFORMATION AND INPUT
Neighborhood Meetin

Needto re ve a waiver on 60 day limitation, or staff will add to
{ agenda for Council denial of subd. Roberts questioned if the house
that had been moved in would have to be removed. There are several
legal questions. Boothroy was directed to post notice of addition
of agenda item on bulletin board, if necessary.
P&Z MINUTES
October 4th minutes mention problems with cars, bikes and skateboards
in the Plaza. Boothroy explained what was happening. Reference was
made to frequency of police patrol. Also the problem with signage
for truck route for Interstate 80 traffic now being routed thru Clabubv4'
Washington St. was noted. Council asked that Public Works correct
the problem by installing 'truck route' signs, a memo to Council
not needed.
AGENDA
1. Item #10, contract with Metro Pavers, S. Gilbert St. Project
to defer award until 1/1/80. Helling noted that this is just
an extension of time, the consideration will be before that
date. (1/1/80 is a holiday, Council meeting will be on 1/2/80).
Roberts asked for an explanation of N5 in the agreement in re
Pleasant Valley Nursery, which Helling gave.
COUNCIL BUSINESS
1. Neu{auser requested that as a result of the tour of housing taken
last week, that Council make some decisions re ceiling height and
handrails. She suggested an amendment to the Housing Code,
stating that the handrail requirement would be enforced only
for new construction, same with ceilings, if the rest of the
dwelling unit meets code standards. No one objected.
Perret arrived, 1:50 PM.
Staff can make certification to the State, with exceptions noted,
and if they wish, the State can come back to the City. Kucharzak
stated he would prepare an amendment which would 'grandfather'
existing handrails and ceiling heights by saying, "Hereinafter
erected". He will enforce the problem with faucets in bathtubs
in the same manner. Regarding the situation with light switches

in rooms connected by archway, Staff is recommending change to reflect that
at least one light switch be provided. Erdahl suggested addition of a date
by which citizens can expect enforcement of new provisions, (six months after
passage). Council expressed appreciation of seeing of the violations, noting
that they would have to watch what they incorporate from the Uniform Building
Code, as the inspectors are only doing their jobs.

Balmer and Erdahl reported on joint meeting with staff and Electrical Board
members regarding recent situation. City Mgr. Berlin will follow thru on
specific areas with the Inspection Dept. Councilmembers appreciated the
minority report by one Boardmember. Neuhauser called attention to the
fact that the Board was not following the recommended format for presentation
of minutes to Council. (Airport Commission does not follow standard procedure
I either.) Erdahl stated that Kucharzak did a fine job at a very difficult
meeting. Balmer hoped that another meeting would be held to further resolve
the situation.

then to S.W. areas of the City, building completely around University Heights.
Both Coralville and University Heights have cable franchise on the ballot at
this election. The reception should be ready in the first area by March 1,
1980. Pepper advised that the Broadband Telecommunications Comm. is sending
a letter to Bd. of Adjustmentas they felt that the problems raised by not
I granting the exception are significant. The tower area is 501x50', tower is self-
supporting, and will not interfere with regular television. The installation
at the University will be built separately, and paid for by them. Labor
concerns were noted.
