MEMORANDUM
Date: September 29, 1989
To: CiIn4
From: Dr
i Re: DispoVacated Alley Right -of -Way to Mercy Hospital
Mercy Hospital officials have requested that the City dispose of a portion of alley right-of-way
immediately west of the Mercy Hospital. Their Interest is in constructing a new addition
adjacent to this alley and altering the traffic flow by use of this alley. At the previous Council
meeting, members requested information concerning: (a) the effect this disposition would have
on traffic flow within the area, (b) whether access would be deprived to abutting property
owners, and (c) whether utilities within the alley must be relocated.
The portion of the alley which Mercy Hospital officials wish to purchase is a 60 foot by 20 foot
parcel at the easterly extremity of the alley extending east from Gilbert Street. This portion of
the alley was vacated in 1982 at the request of Mercy Hospital officials for the express purpose
of purchasing the alley right-of-way for a building addition. The staff's report of this vacation
request is attached to this memorandum.
The addition proposed by Mercy Hospital officials would be located within the parking area
located immediately south of the emergency ward (see attached map with that portion of the
building illustrated in a dotted cross -hatched pattern). Persons exiting from the emergency
entrance may drive west through the subject alley or straight through to Market Street. The
parking lot located west of the main entrance to the hospital will be reconfigured so traffic may
only exit onto Market Street. It does not appear that the proposed changes in traffic circulation
will negatively impact traffic on abutting streets.
The portion of the alley which was earlier vacated and which Mercy Hospital officials now wish
to purchase is located entirely east of other properties abutting the alley. The disposition of
this portion of the alley, therefore, would in no way deprive other property owners of access
to the unvacated portion of the alley east of Gilbert Street.
Finally, it is staff's understanding that no existing utilities within the vacated alley right-of-way
will be relocated, since the building addition will not be constructed over the alley right-of-way.
An existing 20 foot utility easement over the vacated alley right-of-way prevents construction
of a building over it.
If City Council members have any questions concerning this matter prior to Monday night's
Informal meeting, please do not hesitate to contact me at 356-5230.

An existing sanitary sewer line is
located in the alley.
The right of way provides access
only to the applicant's property.
ANALYSIS
The applicant, Mercy Hospital, is requesting the vacation of the easterly 60
feet of the alley located between the existing hospital building and Gilbert
Street to permit them to acquire the right-of-way. The portion of the alley
2
i
i
east of the request area was previously vacated on November 15, 1966 to •allow
the construction of the existing hospital building. The vacation of an added 60
feet will allow Mercy Hospital to control access to the parking areas located
north and south of the alley and planned to service the new construction. Since
all of the property being serviced by the 60 foot segment of the alley proposed
for vacation is owned by Mercy Hospital, staff finds no objection to to
vacation. However, if the alley is vacated, an easement will have to be
retained to allow access to those public utilities located in the right of way,
i.e., an existing sanitary sewer line. An easement over the full 20 feet of
alley right-of-way will be required to serve this purpose.
• I STAFF RECOMI4ENDATION
Staff recommends that the vacation of the west 60 feet of the east 160 feet of
the alley in Block 47 be approved with an easement being retained over the full
20 feet alley right-of-way.

Dear Council Members:
I am writing to express my opposition to the proposed truck stop
at the intersection of Highways 218 and 1. To dispel any
preconceived ideas you may have, you should know that I did not
oppose the Walmart complex, nor the housing/apartment addition at
Willowbrook Place on the corner of Benton and Mormon Trek. I
understand and support economic development.
I am, however, concerned about the quality of life in Iowa City.
Noise pollution is`a severe problem for the west side. What used
to be a small, local airport is now a very busy commercial airport.
Highways`I and 218 have made things so noisy that we cannot have
our windows open, nor do we spend any time outdoors. The noise
level is unbelievable, and it is primarily due to truck traffic.
What used to be a pleasant, quiet neighborhood has become a very
stressful environment to live in.
At a minimum, the Council should consider measures to abate the
noise., other metropolitan areas have used soundboards to improve
the situation.
I hope you will vote against this truck stop. If not for the
reasons I cite, then to avoid ruining an entrance to our city. If
people want an unplanned, unzoned environment they can move to
Coralville. I chose to live in Iowa City, and to pay higher taxes,
to avoid that very thing. One "Exit 24211 is enough.
Thank you for your consideration.

of those documents. A truck stop and convenience store are proposed for Lot 1. No
development plans have been formulated for the remaining four lots within the subdivision.
Lots 1, 4 and 5 of Scott's Second Addition have frontage on Highway 1. These lots, along
with Lot 3 of this subdivision, are also accessible via a county secondary road that presently
has a crushed rock surface. Lot 2, located directly west of Lot 3, has no roadway frontage
but is accessible by means of a 40 foot wide existing Ingress/egress easement extending from
the county road to Lot 1 of Scott's First Addition,
Zoning: The accompanying plat shows that the subject subdivision is divided by the county
road. Lot 5, located east of this road, is zoned CP1. The balance of the 23.99 acre tract is
zoned C132. The CP1 and C132 zones are planned commercial districts. According to the
Johnson County Zoning Ordinance, "[tlhe purpose of the CP1 and CP2 Planned Commercial
District is to provide for the location of commercial businesses in a manner which permits the
review of specific development plans ... to ensure the adequate provision of necessary services
and a compatibility between adjoining land uses." The County Zoning Ordinance stipulates that
prior to obtaining building permits for a development proposal, the developer must show that
the proposal conforms to general design and performance standards developed and adopted
by the County for planned commercial developments.
Subdivision Design Requirements: The development policy for Fringe Area 8 states that
development Is to consist primarily of commercial and light industrial uses. Unlike subdivisions
within other fringe areas which must conform to either City Urban Design or City Rural Design
/70/
,I

l
Standards, development in Fringe Area 8 is subject to the County's Planned Commercial
Development Standards (Article XXXV of the Johnson County Zoning Ordinance). While the
County Zoning Ordinance indicates that conformance with the Planned Commercial
Development Standards must be demonstrated prior to building permit approval, the Fringe
Agreement states that the intent of the Development Policies and Implementation Measures
outlined for each fringe area is to guide "...annexation, zoning and subdivision review for [the]
various designated areas outlined on the ...[Fringe Area] map" (page 2). Fringe Area 8, then,
appears to require the application of the County's Planned Commercial Development Standards
to the review of subdivisions in that area.
Due to the urban scale of the proposed development and its proximity to Iowa City, the urban
design standards enumerated in Sections 32-54 to 32-60 of the Iowa City Municipal Code will
also apply to this subdivision. Development in this area must also be consistent with the
City/County Airport Overlay Zone requirements and with the Fringe Area 6 requirement that
provisions be made for screening the proposed commercial development from any adjoining
property which is either zoned or used for agricultural, residential or industrial purposes.
Streets: As illustrated, the subdivision does not propose the establishment of any new streets.
Lot access is to be.achleved by either the existing secondary road or by an access easement
intersecting with this road. The plat notes that direct access from Lots 1, 4 and 5 to Highway
1 will be prohibited.
Section 3A of the County's Planned Commercial Development Standards requires that all lot
entrances be off ofap ved primary or secondary roads. In conjunction with the development
of Lot 1, the plat shows that the existing 22' wide secondary road will be hard surfaced from
Highway 1 to the northeast corner of Lot 3. The typical road section on the plat shows that
the entire portion of the county road within the subdivision as well as the road providing
access to Lot 2 of Scott's Second Addition and to Lot 1 of Scott's First Addition will, at some
time, be hard surfaced but only developed at a rural cross section. Neither the secondary road
nor the property access road are proposed to be upgraded to City Urban Design Standards.
The urban scale of the proposed subdivision and its proximity to Iowa City, however, warrant
the application of the development standards specified in Sections 32-54 to 32-60 of the City's
Subdivision Regulations for the entire portion of the county secondary road Included in this
commercial subdivision. A typical road section for the secondary road should, therefore, be
included on the plat which shows a 26 foot wide B.C.-B.C. paved surface within the existing
66' wide right-of-way and a pavement depth of seven Inches, Sidewalks along this right-of-
way as well as the name of the secondary road should also be illustrated on the plat. The
typical road section shown on the plat is satisfactory for the property access road. The plat
should note, however, that prior to Issuance of a building permit for any lot within this
subdivision, all roadways abutting that lot are to be Improved in conformance with the
development standards reflected on the plat.
The plat illustrates the proposed location of the entrance from the county secondary road to
Lot 1 and notes that the entrance to Lot 5 will be centered with the Lot 1 drive. The plat
should dimension the distance of the centerlines of each of these entrances from the
subdivision's northwest boundary.
®m
■
4
Public Utilities and Services: The plat reflects that Lots 1 and 5 would share a well and a
sewage disposal systema The remaining three lots are expected to be served by individual
wells and septic systems. Preliminary calculations for the stormwater detention system
proposed for Lots 1-4 of the subdivision have been submitted and approved by the City's
Public Works Department. The plat makes no provisions, however, for stormwater storage
for Lot 5. The plat should be amended to Include stormwater storage provisions for this lot.
Screening: To satisfy the implementation requirements of Fringe Area e, the subdivision plat
should note that, In accordance with Section 3C of the performance standards for planned
commercial developments, a screening or buffer yard will be required to limit access and
provide visual separation between the proposed commercial development and any adjoining
property which is either zoned or used for agricultural, residential or industrial purposes.
Airport Overlay Zone Requirements: At least a portion of the proposed subdivision is subject
to the regulations of the City/County Airport Overlay Zone. Prior to issuance of building
permits for development of those portions of the subdivision affected by these regulations, the
developer must obtain FAA approval of the proposed facilities.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary plat of Scott's Second Addition be deferred but that
upon resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below, the plat be approved.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
I. Correct the last line of the legal description to read "...easements and restrictions of
record."
2. Amend the plat to show a road profile for the county secondary road that conforms with
the City's Urban Design Standards for local street improvements, including provisions for
sidewalks. The name of the secondary road should also be Included on the plat.
3. Note on the plat that, prior to Issuance of a building permit for any lot within this
subdivision, all roadways abutting that lot are to be Improved according to the
development standards reflected on the plat.
4. Dimension the distance between the centerlines of the proposed entrances to Lots 1 and
5 and the subdivision's northwest boundary.
5. Amend the plat to reflect stormwater storage provisions for Lot 5.
6. Note that the subdivision will comply with all applicable screening requirements.

SPECIAL INFORMATION:
Public utilities:
Public services:
Transportation:
Physical characteristics:
BACKGROUND:
Water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer
services are available.
Municipal police and fire protection and
transit services are available. Solid waste
disposal is to be provided by a private
hauler.
Access is provided from South Capitol
Street and Prentiss Street.
The site slopes downward from east to
west.
On January 10, 1989 the City Council approved the preliminary and final Large Scale
Residential Development (LSRD) plan for Capitol View Apartments, phase one; construction of
that project has recently been completed. On February 21, 1989, the City approved the
preliminary and final LSRD plan for Capitol View Apartments, Two, an L-shaped structure
located within the same block as and north of phase one of this development.
Subsequent to Council approval of the development plans for the second phase of this project,
the applicant acquired the structure located on the southeast corner of Capitol and Prentiss
streets. The applicant, therefore, wishes to amend the LSRD plan for Capitol View Apartments,
Two, to incorporate the land occupied by the existing corner building in the project and to
extend the proposed multi -family residential structure to the southeast corner of Capitol and
Prentiss streets.
The project requires removing one single-family and five multi -family residential dwellings
located on the east side of Capitol Street and the south side of Prentiss Street and replacing
these dwellings with a six -level multi -family residential complex containing 104 dwelling units.
Off-street parking for this use is proposed at the lower two levels. The lower level of parking
is accessed via Capitol Street and the upper level is accessible from Prentiss Street. The two
parking levels are not integrated to permit vehicles to move from one level to the other. An
outdoor swimming pool, not illustrated on the plan, is proposed in the courtyard in the center
of the structure.
ANALYSIS:
Land Use and Zoning: The subject property is located in the RM -145, High Rise Multi -Family
Residential Zone which permits very high density residential development. The RM -145 zone
is generally located in close proximity to the University and the Central Business District for the
convenience of residents living in these multi -family developments and for the support this high
concentration of people can provide to the retail and service uses in the downtown area.
Centralizing high density residential development in close proximity to the City's core area
where this type of housing is demanded also relieves the pressure to develop high density
residential uses further out where lower density residential land uses are preferred.
/ 743
,

Due to the close proximity of RM -145 zoned areas to the University and the urban core, high
rise multi -family residential developments are usually occupied by University students.
Consequently, In the fall and spring there is considerable tenant turnover. Because high rise
dwellings may be constructed to the property lines, there is little to no space on the site to
accommodate the seasonal loading and unloading demands of a high rise residential structure
predominantly occupied by University students. As a result, the adjacent public rights-of-way
are generally used for this purpose.
The subject LSRD proposes the development of 104 dwelling units. To minimize traffic
congestion anticipated on Capitol and Prentiss streets during loading and unloading periods,
staff recommends that, in conjunction with this development, either short-term on -street loading
and unloading spaces be designated along the rights-of-way adjacent to this project or loading
and unloading bays be Incorporated in those portions of the Capitol and Prentiss street rights-
of-way, adjacent to the project boundary lines and between the existing curbs and sidewalks.
The plan should, therefore, be amended to eliminate the angled parking shown and to reflect
these alternate loading and unloading provisions. The plan is in conformance with the
requirements of the RM -145 zone.
LSRD Compliance: The proposed plan generally conforms with the requirements of the Large
Scale Residential Development regulations.
Economic Impact: Economic Impact is a measure of the public costs and benefits associated
with the project, Public benefit can generally be measured in terms of the estimated tax
revenue generated and the potential number of jobs created by the project. The liabilities or
costs are not always quantifiable, but Include the cost of direct public improvements such as
the cost of over -width paving or oversized water mains and the Indirect public costs associated
with the provision of additional public services demanded by the proposed project,
Although tax levies change from tax year to tax year, it is possible to estimate the annual taxes
that would be generated by the proposed development. The existing six lots and structures
affected by this proposal have a collective assessed value of $379,550 and generate
approximately $4,322 annually in tax revenue for the City. Excluding land costs, the proposed
residential complex will be constructed at a cost of about $3 million.
The City's portion of the tax levy presently imposed upon Iowa City property is
$12,02810/$1,000 of assessed valuation. Assuming the proposed development has an
assessed value of at least $3 million, this property will yield a minimum of $36,084 annually in
tax revenue for the City. While no direct construction costs to the City are anticipated with this
development, indirect costs associated with providing police and fire protection and public
library, recreation and transit services available to residents of this development are expected.
This project will not, however, adversely Impact the City's ability to provide these services.
Recreational needs of residents of this multi -family residential development are, to some extent,
served by the swimming pool proposed within the facility.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the preliminary and final Large Scale Residential Development plan for
Capitol View Apartments, Two, located at 612 S. Capitol Street, be deferred. Upon resolution
of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below, staff recommends the plan be approved,

programs, funding for public services and facilities, removal of architectural barriers and the
development of parks and equipment accessible to handicapped persons.
The CCN appreciates the Council's Interest in fulfilling the housing and community development
goals and requests continued support of the CDBG recommendations forwarded to you. if you

INTRODUCTION
Pursuant to the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, the City must certify in its
annual Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) entitlement application that specific
housing and community development goals are being met. These goals are evaluated and
updated every three years In a Community Development Plan which also specifies objectives
to meet the goals.
During the past three years, the City has succeeded in meeting many of the housing and
neighborhood goals outlined in the 1987-1989 Community Development Plan through the
following projects.
HOUSING
The City plans to have six modestly priced homes built on a city -owned property in order to
decrease the purchase price thus reducing the monthly mortgage payments for moderate
income first-time homebuyers. The City hopes to use the project as a model for future public-
private partnerships to reduce the development and construction costs of housing.
The City is also in the process of selling a home to a first time homebuyer to rehabilitate
through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. This property, located north of the city -owned
parcel mentioned in the previous paragraph, was purchased in order that the City could
subdivide the southern lots for construction of lower cost housing.
Community Development Block Grant funds have been used to leverage other public funds as
well as private monies to acquire and rehabilitate properties for persons with special housing
needs.
Youth Homes, Inc. CDBG funds were used to acquire a property to house a group
home and counseling center for young women. Funds were also used to rehabilitate
the emergency youth shelter which was donated to Youth Homes by the County. From
this endeavor, Youth Homes was able to receive additional private and public funds to
acquire and rehabilitate another property to house a second emergency shelter for
young persons.
Hillcrest Family Services. CDBG funds were used to acquire and rehabilitate a home
for chronically mentally III persons in need of supervised living.
CoNeft Place (owned by Lutheran Social Services) was provided CDBG funds to
rehabilitate a group home for troubled youth,
Approximately 150 households are assisted annually with CDBG-funded rehab loans and grants
for comprehensive rehabilitation, emergency repair, weatherization, paint/siding, small repairs
for elderly homeowners, and residential accessibility Improvements.
During the past three years, Rental Rehabilitation Program funds were used to assist property
owners of 38 projects comprising about 104 rental units.

HUMAN SERVICES
CDBG funds were used to assist the Crisis Center in acquiring and renovating a structure to
house the suicide prevention phone line, counseling offices and food bank for persons in need
of crisis counseling and emergency services.
CDBG funds were also used to expand and make accessibility improvements to the Community
Mental Health Center.
CDBG funds, along with other public and private funds, are used to provide ongoing
operational assistance to the following community human service agencies.
Mayor's Youth Employment Program (MYEP) provides training and employment for
disadvantaged youth between the ages of 14 and 19 years. MYEP regularly receives
CDBG funds for specific capital Improvement projects which allow young people to
contribute to the viability of the community.
United Action for Youth WAY) provides counseling and emergency service as well as
recreational activities to youth in need of assistance. CDBG funds, along with additional
public and private funds, have also been used to assist in the purchase and renovation
of a center for UAY as well as MYEP and Youth Homes administrative offices.
Elderly Services Agency (ESA) provides a variety of services for the community's older
persons. CDBG funds also assist in the agency's small repair program for low-income
frail elderly homeowners.
ARCHITECTURAL BARRIER REMOVAL
The City is in the process of expanding the Civic Center and many of the problem of
Inaccessibility should be alleviated within the next three years.
CDBG funds have been used to provide automatic doors at the Civic Center, Recreation Center
as well, as the entrance to the Old Capitol Mall which is located in the parking ramp.
CDBG funds and donations from public service organizations were used to renovate the Interior
of a church hall to provide daycare for children with disabilities. Funds and donated labor and
materials were used in constructing a park adjacent to the daycare center.
As an effort to extend the Recreation Center's Potters' Studio to all persons, CDBG funds, as
well as Parks and Recreation funds, are being used to make accessibility Improvements. Plans
are being made to Improve the accessibility of the photo dark room also.
A number of curb ramps have been Installed throughout the older neighborhoods to Improve
the sidewalk network for persons in wheelchairs.
Public restrooms, accessible to persons in wheelchairs, have been constructed in two of the
City parks.

NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENTS
The City began expansion of the sanitary sewer system in March, 1989, which should alleviate
flooding and sewer problems in the Creekside Neighborhood area.
As part of the city-wide effort to upgrade the sanitary and storm sewer system, CDBG funds,
in addition to other public funds, were used to install a storm drainage system in the
Miller/Orchard Neighborhood.
CDBG funds were used to assist MYEP in making Improvements to the Ralston Creekbank in
the downtown area.
CDBG funds, in addition to public and private funds, are being used to renovate an historic
structure to be used as a center for youth serving agencies.
Development of a downtown park, located in the pedestrian mall was completed in 1987.

In order to Identify the perceived community development and housing needs in the Iowa City
area, the Committee on Community Needs (CCN) requested Input from citizens in the
community. Letters were sent to the Iowa City City Council, Iowa City boards, commissions
and organizations, and City department directors about the preparation of a community
development and housing plan which is Intended to address the primary objective of the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. This primary objective is the
"development of viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable
living environment, and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low -
and moderate -Income.'
j The community development and housing needs, described in this section, are a combination
of suggestions from CCN, the City Council, several boards, commissions, and organizations,
and individual citizens.
HOUSING NEEDS
The presence of the University of Iowa and the large hospital complexes has for years created
housing problems in Iowa City. In particular, the demand for housing negatively affects the
elderly, new households and families, many of whom are competing with students for the same
housing close to campus, downtown and the main centers of employment.
There Is a need to provide housing opportunities for lower income persons, especially families
and new households. Again, there is a need for low-cost rental and owner -occupied housing,
and assistance in locating such housing accessible to schools, jobs, shopping areas and near
transit lines.
The City provides temporary shelter for individuals in crisis situations at the Emergency
Housing Project, Youth Homes Shelters and the Domestic Violence Intervention Program.
However, the numbers of homeless continue to rise and there is a need for additional
temporary housing projects.
There is an increasing need for transitional housing for families and individuals who are unable
(or not ready) to reside in permanent housing. Often, these persons remain In emergency
shelters for long periods or are forced Into overcrowded situations.
There is a growing need for housing opportunities for special populations. Shortages in
suitable housing have been Identified for people who 1) have long-term mental disabilities, 2)
require physically accessible, barrier -free residences, 3) have long-term illnesses such as AIDS.
In particular;
Iowa City has many people who would benefit from a boarding-house atmosphere,
providing companionship and a degree of security (i.e. shared meals and a communal
living room), but who would not need personal care or formal supervision. A boarding-
house setting could also provide housing opportunities for substance abusers who are
recovering as well as persons with chronic Illnesses.

j There is a need for affordable housing which can conveniently accommodate people who
use wheelchairs, but who require minimal or no assistance. Existing accessible housing,
as well as being In short supply, Is often inadequate for people who have physical
disabilities, despite recent advances in accessibility design.
i As the population ages, there is an increasing need to provide different types of housing for
the elderly. There Is a demand for low-cost housing for the elderly on fixed incomes which will j
permit them to live independently for as long as possible. Many elderly need help with minor
chore services, housing counseling, and assistance with financing their housing.
lThere is an ongoing need to upgrade and maintain the existing housing stock. In some cases,
lower Income homeowners as well as elderly and disabled persons, need assistance in
maintaining their homes. In rehabilitating and maintaining older homes, consideration must also
be given to preserving historic structures and instituting energy conservation measures which
reduce healing and cooling costs.
HUMAN SERVICES NEEDS
There are more than 30 non-profit organizations within the Iowa City, Johnson County,
Coralville and United Way human service network. Services range from home -health care and
shared housing, for elderly and physically frail persons to crisis intervention and emergency f
housing shelter. Increased demand for services exacerbated by diminishing federal involvement
has caused agency directors to look to the community for more support. There is a need for
increased public and private support to keep these agencies viable. j
NEIGHBORHOOD NEEDS
1.
During the past twelve years, the CDBG program has concentrated on revitalizing neighbor-
hoods delineated by the 403 boundaries (see Map). This area includes the Iowa Avenue
Neighborhood, Miller/Orchard Neighborhood, Muscatine Avenue Neighborhood, Creekside
Neighborhood and the Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood. Continued efforts are needed in !
rehabilitating and preserving aging structures to combat deterioration and blight.
Ralston Creek runs through these neighborhoods, and although, many of the Improvements ;
are nearly complete, ongoing cleanup of debris and dilapidated structures within the floodway I i
Is required.
i
Current expansion and upgrading of the sanitary and storm sewer system will alleviate many
of the flooding and water pollution problems in these neighborhoods, however, additional i
Infrastructure Improvements are needed. For example, sidewalk repair/replacement and
construction of curb ramps are needed to provide a safe and accessible network of sidewalks
for residents. Open space is needed in densely populated neighborhoods such as central city
areas located south of Burlington Street and in the Miller/Orchard neighborhood.
i
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT NEEDS I
i
Goals relating to the economic development needs of Iowa City are Identified In the Economic
Development section of the City's 1989 Comprehensive Plan Update. Primary needs Include
1) expansion of the industrial and commercial tax base in order to decrease the tax burden on I

A
residential property, particularly to low and moderate Income homeowners and rental property
residents; 2) increase in employment opportunities consistent with the available labor force; 3)
continue downtown revitalization; 4) provide and protect areas suitable for future industrial and
commercial development; 5) provide for the extension of Infrastructure which will induce
development in areas designated for industrial and commercial growth.
COMMUNITY FACILITIES AND IMPROVEMENTS
Architectural barriers remain not only in residential structures, but also In office and commercial
buildings. Continued effort Is needed in identifying Inaccessible structures and providing
Incentives to upgrade areas to meet the needs of physically challenged residents. Curb ramps
are needed in areas that are frequented by persons using walkers and wheelchairs. Parks need
i to be evaluated as to their accessibility and comfort to persons In wheelchairs. The City's
effort to remove architectural, barriers should be used as a model for other public buildings.
I
OTHER NEEDS
j
Transportation
i
There
is a need to encourage greater usage of the community's transit systems in order 'to
alleviate the parking problems in the central business district, to conserve energy and cut down
on pollution as well as serve as'a means of low cost transportation: '
iHistoric Preservation
Preservation and continued use or adaptive reuse of historical structures are needed not only
In rehabilitation of residential structures but also in renovation of office and commercial
buildings., Increased community awareness of our historical heritage needs to be fostered to
avoid the demolition or restructuring of architectural or historical sensitive structures, districts,
and neighborhoods.

Re: Civic Center Asbestos Removal
A question arose at a previous Council meeting regarding the role of the City's Consultant in
the above -referenced project.
Chart Services, Inc, of Des Moines is under contract with the City to draw up specifications,
assist in the process of bidding out work, and monitoring, on behalf of the City, the actual
removal process including sampling of the air for asbestos fiber content. They will not be
bidding on the actual removal work. The successful bidder may also do some site monitoring
but,this isnot part of the requirement of the bid specifications and would be done solely for
the contractor's own purposes.
