The ordinances set out standards for such parties and impose specific responsibilities on the person holding the event, along with limiting the number of people and number of kegs that can be present at the event. I have that ordinance at my office if you would wish to review it. I have also acquired a copy of the Ames Ordinance which prohibits minors in bars except under specific circumstances. cc:. Steve Atkins Ken Stock ' I I I i i I ii �I I' I1 , parks & recreation department MEMO Terry Trueblood, to: Steve Atkins, City Manager from. Director of Parks & Recreation re. Renaming Harrison Hill Park d a t e . May 9, 1989 At its April 12th meeting, the Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously supported a request to rename Harrison Hill Park. (Technically, it would not be a name change since "Harrison Hill" was never officially adopted by Council). The proposed name, suggested by Handicare and the volunteers who have been primarily responsible for the park's development, is "Michael's Park." This name is suggested to honor small children with circumstances similar to Michael, a youngster who attends Handicare, and is not expected to live due to a terminal heart .condition. Attached is an article which appeared in a Procter and Gamble publication. The last three paragraphs provide a good summation as to the rationale for the proposed name. Please advise as to where we should go from here. If appropriate, I suspect the group would appreciate the opportunity to appear before Council.

This property is directly south of the Firestone store and continues to the Rectory of the St. Patrick's Church. The property is zoned CB -2. After considerable study and the review of many different proposals, it has been determined that the best way to improve the property to its greatest potential is to build a pair of four story structures linked at the ground floor by an office complex. The project will include 4,000 s.f. of office space, 42 underground parking spaces, and 60 apartments of various sizes. This type of project is needed and encouraged in the CB -2 zone. We feel this project could be a prototype for future development within the area. Having reviewed the project, the planning staff have encouraged us to accomplish it. In order to proceed, the present zoning ordinances must be amended in regards to parking requirements and the definition of what is the ground floor of the building. The city staff has suggested that we meet with you at your May 15, 1989 informal session, at which time we could present the merits of the project to you. It is hoped that you might direct the staff to study the ordinances and present to the council the necessary ordinance amendments that are required to accomplish this project. We hope that your schedule will allow us to meet with you on Monday, May is, so that the project construction schedule can be maintained. Construction should begin on August 15, 1989. Thank you for considering this request. Sincerely, NEUMA�.

Clinton St. Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Kevin: CITY OF IOWA CITY As we discussed, this letter is intended to address the major points of conflict between the proposed Belle and Breese Apartments project on South Unn Street and the Zoning Ordinance requirements. There are three principal areas of conflict associated with the project: 1) Compliance with the off-street parking requirements, 2) Compliance with the provisional use standards of the CB -2 zone, and 3) Compliance with the floor area ratio requirements of the CB -2 zone. Each of these items will be addressed independently. 1. Off -Street Parking: The proposed project includes 60 apartments and 4,000 square feet of office space. According to Section 36.4(d)(12) of the Zoning Ordinance, the proposed structure is considered to be a low-rise dwelling since there are not four (4) or more stories located entirely above grade. As a low-rise multi -family dwelling, off- street parking must be provided at a ratio of 1.5 spaces per dwelling unit for units up to 800 square feet in floor area or 2.0 spaces per dwelling unit for units 800 square feet and over (Section 36.58(a)(1)d.i.). Within the CB -2 zone, office uses of the size proposed are required to provide off-street parking at a ratio of one (1) space for each 300 square feet of floor area (Section 36.58(a)(2)1.2.). In this case, 13 parking spaces would be required. Altogether, the number of off-street parking spaces would be a maximum of 133 spaces or a minimum of 103 spaces depending upon the floor area of the dwelling unit. The proposed plan provides fora total of 42 parking spaces. 2. Compliance with the Provisional Uses of the CB -2 Zone: Section 36.20(c)(1) of the Zoning Ordinance permits dwellings located above or below the ground floor of a structure in which the ground floor is occupied exclusively by another principal use or uses permitted in this zone. The ground floor is defined by the Zoning Ordinance as "the lower-most floor of a building having its floor -to -ceiling height at or above the grade." (Section 36.4(g)(5)). Applying this dentition to the proposed building, the ground floor would technically be considered what appears to be the second floor on the Urin Street side. What would commonly be viewed as the second floor is recognized as the ground floor since it is located entirely above grade. The plan locates the office space in what is defined by the Code as the basement; this is permissible provided the ground floor is devoted exclusively to any use permitted in the CB -2 zone. CIVIC C1 VTER • 4111 EAST WASIIIeGTON STNIir.T • IOWA CITY, IOWA S:: UI • (II") Suuu Iin/x.�ew 13 A i _.i i i i I i i I ' I I Mr. Monson May 5, 1989 Page 2 A second aspect of this provision is that the ground floor must be used exclusively by any commercial use permitted in the zone. This means the entire floor area must be devoted to the commercial use and cannot also accommodate dwelling units and/or accessory off-street parking. The proposed plan provides for a combination of office space and accessory off-street parking on the same floor which would not be permitted on the ground floor. 3. Compliance with the Floor Area Ratio Requirement of the CB -2 Zone: A final issue which we had not previously discussed concerns the maximum building bulk requirements of the CS -2 zone. Section 36-20(e)(5) of the Zoning Ordinance sets a maximum floor area of 2.0.' This ratio permits the floor area of a building to be twice j the size of the lot provided the building does not exceed a maximum height of 100 feet. With a lot area of approximately 24,000 square feet, the maximum size of the building could be 48,000 square feet. The building as proposed includes approximately 70,300 j square feet for a floor area ratio of 2.9. i I These are the major points of conflict with the Zoning Ordinance. If you have any questions regarding this letter, or need additional information, do not hesitate to call me at 356.5240.

R_T. PERIOD ENDING: APRIL 30, 1989 I. SOUTHEAST INTERCEPTOR SEWER PROJECT Approximately 4,130 feet of 66 inch diameter sanitary sewer has oeen installed since construction began March 15, 1989. Johnson Brothers Corporation (JBC) has been takinq full advantage of the dry weather and the remote location by ---.-. working around the clock. The project is now approximately .six weeks ahead of schedule. When construction enters the south end of town, the night shift will be discontinued. JBC hired Donald Dodd, an engineer from the Operaka Corporation that specializes in the manufacture of concrete Pipe, to tour Wilson Concrete's pipe plant. Mr. Dodd examined the manufacturing process in progress and. was pleased with the overall product but did make some recommendations for improvement. JBC states that it is standard practice for them to hire a concrete pipe specialist on a job of this magnitude to insure the highest quality product. During the month of May, construction will progress past the Bon -Aire Mobile Home Court while the tunneling subcontractor pushes pipe under Lakeside Drive and Highway 6. In addition, construction of the outfall sewer will commence. Two change orders have been processed to date. The first change order incorporated the latest revision to the Davis - Bacon Wage rates issued just prior to the bid date. The Department of Natural Resources required that this new rate be incorporated into all three city projects. Fortunately, the Contractors accepted this change without an increase in price. The rates are now fixed for the duration of the '.i project. The second change order eliminates three easements -� along Brookwood Drive valued at $2600.00 II. BENTON STREET INTERCEPTOR SEWER PROJECT _I. Construction of the sanitary and storm sewers has progressed to the west side of Orchard Street. Innovative construction ,j sequencing, proposed by the contractor, allowed Riverside Drive to be reopened two weeks sooner than expected. Overall, the project is almost four weeks ahead of schedule. Temporary .;� traffic signals have been installed at the intersection of Miller Avenue and Highway 1 to reduce waiting time on Miller Avenue. i I i QG Construction along Benton Street is unusually complicated and messy because Benton Street is a major east -west utility corridor. In addition to the sewer contractor, independent construction crews representing water, gas, electric, telephone and cable television are all working in the area. It is expected that the storm sewer redirecting Benton Creek will be operational before the end of May. Two change orders have been processed to date. The first change order incorporated the new Davis -Bacon wage rates and the second resulted from encounters with unforeseen circumstances in the Riverside Drive Intersection. III. SLUDGE FORCE MAIN PROJECT Tschiggfrie Excavating is preparing to begin construction of the sludge force main. Tunneling operations will occur first. Payment has been made for some materials delivered and stored at the project site. IV.

First, since Regency is outside the city limits, the City would have to look towards the County government for tax support in proportion to the support of the system by City residents. Second, as you are probably aware, the City has received a proposal from a developer for a major shopping complex inside the city limits along Highway 1 West. if this center becomes a reality, the Wardway route would be used to service it. Without lengthening the time of the route, sufficient time would not exist to serve both the shopping center and Regency.

Date: Play 1, 1989 RECFi'rr� x,99 :L� To: Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission From: St. Patrick's Parish Council It is unfortunate for us that the Historic Preservation Commission should suddenly take an interest in our property at this late date. It has been public knowledge that we had been trying to find a buyer or a use for the building since January or 1987. We offered it, first of all, to the city of Iowa City and/or Johnson County. The county Supervisors were given a tour of the building by Father Benda, pastor of St. Patrick's in July of 1987. They were not interested enough to pursue.the matter. A group from Communtiy Theater took a tour of the building. A University of Iowa Fraternity was most interested, but needed some of our existing parking, which we could not give them. A local architect made an offer to purchase the building and convert it to apartments. His over all estimate was $750,000 short of reality which cost both himself and St. Patrick's about nine months of time and a considerable sum of money. Several other groups and persons were interested but either wanted us to give away the property or surrender our parking space which is absolutely essential for our 1100 families use of the church and the parish hall. All of this time, the building had been listed for sale by a local real estate firm. After many meetings, serious considerations, and over $22,000 wasted in the past two years on the vacant building, we have now accepted an offer to raze/salvage the building and convert the area to much needed parish parking. Our signed demolition contract has a completion date of mid -summer 1989. We were extremely sorry we were unable to find a compatiable usuage for the building that would have allowed us to preserve the historic value of the 67 year old building. However, we can assure you our failure was not attributable to lack of effort or concern. We thank you for your interest.

You may recall in our informal discussions as well as our presentation to the State Environmental Protection Commission that we felt the interim effluent limits were far too severe in the proposed consent decree. We advised them that it would be difficult, particularly in cold weather, to meet these effluent standards. The DNR staff and the Commission were unyielding and these effluent standards were included in the consent decree. The following shows the consent decree limits and the February analysis. Consent Decree February 89 CBOD 30 day average 40 mg/L. - 42 mg/L. CBOD 7 day average 60 mg/L, - 44 mg/L. Suspended Solids - 7 day average 80 mg/L - 72 mg/L 30 day average 55 mg/L - 62 mg/L. In February, our effluent analysis exceeded the DNR imposed limits. This ! has been considered to be sulficlent cause for the DNR to seek penalties and therefore we are obligated to pay the civil penalty of $4,000 for this violation. There appears to be little that we can do and I have authorized the Department of Finance to Issue payment.
