McDonald reported the Fringe Committee did meet two weeks ago and will be getting back together soon. SPECIAL VEHICLE ORDINANCE: Reel 88-17, Side 1 McDonald stated Council received Boothroy's March 4, 1988, memo regarding comparison of various special vehicle ordinance requirements. McDonald asked Council if action should be deferred on this item. Ambrisco noted that the proposed ordinance does not address Mr. Sokol's concerns. Larson proposed changing the size requirements to read seven one-half feet height and 20 feet long. Boothroy said the ordinance provided an amortization period of two years to allow special vehicles to be moved to the side or rear yard and to qualify for this amortization, the property owner would have to register with the City. In order to qualify for the grandfather provisionexplainedsifaalvehiclelisenotles would have to registerred, that beregistered. mayestill8obehal- lowed to be parked in the front yard but may have to provide screening. Boothroy said the advantage to registering a vehicle to get a non-compli- ance status is that the vehicle would not have to comply with screening. Boothroy said a person has one year to register a vehicle to be granted a non -conforming status and if the vehicle is not registered, that vehicle would have to fully comply with all of the requirements. Horowitz in- quired about the size of the special vehicle problem within Iowa City. Courtney said there were not a large number of complaints. Councilmembers discussed the proposed ordinance. Input was received from Bud Means and Johnnie Shaffer. Means asked Council to meet with the Special Vehicle Committee. In response to Courtney, Boothroy explained if a person registers their parking space or storage area with the City, they would not have to comply with screening require- ments and would be allowed to park in the front yard. In response to Dickson, Boothroy said registration provides a base year so the City knows which vehicles are non -conforming. Council agreed to change the proposed ordinance to read seven one-half feet height and 20 feet long. Courtney proposed including a transfer of property staFement. Minutes Informal City Council Meeting March 7, 1988 Page 3 HIGHWAY 1 NORTH RISE APPLICATION: Davidson presented Council with information relating to the Highway 1 North RISE application. Davidson reported the original proposal for Highway 1 North was in conjunction with development by Southgate Develop- ment and NCS. Davidson stated the RISE program is an economic development program and the original application was to fund the construction project to address the traffic congestion problem in the area. Davidson stated the State responded favorably to the original application but asked the City to consider long-term plans proposed by the State. Public Works drafted a new proposal taking into consideration the needs of the IDOT. Davidson reported the larger improvement would cost an estimated $950,000, but the City's share of the project should not increase very much. Davidson reported the IDOT should take action on the RISE application on March 15 or March 29, 1988. In response to Dickson, Davidson reported the RISE program does have a lot of funds, but wants to leverage local commu- nity funds to the greatest degree possible. Staff and Councilmembers reviewed plans for the area. METCALF & EDDY CONTRACT ADDENDUM: Reel 88-17, Side 2 Atkins said that City officials met with representatives from Metcalf & Eddy to discuss a contract addendum. The contract addendum would elimi- nate certain sections and set a payment schedule. Atkins said that staff will prepare an official recommendation on how the project will be man- aged. Strait questioned whether the City has the expertise or time to manage major projects. Courtney stated the City needs to continue to address neighborhood concerns. Atkins said the City will need to closely monitor neighborhood -related projects. Horowitz asked if the City has money budgeted for project contingencies. Atkins stated that staff ex- pects construction costs to be bid higher than originally anticipated. In response to Larson, Atkins stated the contract addendum offers a good schedule and demonstrates good faith on the part of Metcalf & Eddy. The contract addendum preserves both parties' abilities to pursue certain remedies. Timmins stated the City still has the option to sue for breach of contract and Metcalf & Eddy reserves the option to sue the City for not paying on time. Councilmembers agreed to schedule a special Council meeting for a public hearing on the plans and specifications on March 15, 1988, at 5:15 p.m. LIBRARY FOUNDATION REQUEST: Reel 88-17, Side 2 Atkins explained the Library Foundation is planning a gala and requested a bar and liquor license. Atkins stated that City ordinances do not permit alcohol in public buildings. Timmins read City Code Section 24-51(a), "No person shall consume or drink any intoxicating liquor or beer on any street, alley, park, or public ground or any public place within the city.' Minutes Informal City Council Meeting March 7, 1988 Page 4 Timmins stated that Asst. City Atty. Boyle has drafted the following language, "No person shall consume or drink any alcoholic liquor or beer on any street, alley, park or public conveyance or public ground within the city or in any municipal building except the premises covered by a liquor control license." Council discussed liability issues and who should give approval for the liquor control license. Timmins suggested authorizing the City Manager to sign off on any liquor license application that would involve any City building. Tom Gelman, representing the Library Foundation said the City is not the licensee and under Iowa Code the dramshop liability is to the licensee, but there may be general liability to the City. Pat Forsyth, Exec. Dir. of the Foundation stated that the Library Foundation has ob- tained $30,000 dramshop insurance. Tom Gelman referred to Code provision Section 5-4, "It shall be unlawful for any person to use or consume alco- holic liquors or beers on public streets or highways or to consume alco- holic liquors in any public place except premises covered by liquor control licenses." Timmins said the Code provision 24-51(a) outlaws the use of alcoholic beverage in any public place or public building. Timmins referred to language drafted by Boyle and proposed eliminating the comma after municipal building so that it is clear that the exception only applies to municipal buildings. Timmins also proposed to change the word premise to municipal building. Timmins suggested a statement relating to insurance should be included. Councilmembers cautioned Library Foundation members that $30,000 dramshop insurance was too low. Courtney noted the Downtown Association will approach Council regarding selling beer in the Plaza area. Atkins raised concerns that the Plaza is a totally uncontrolled area. McDonald stated the ordinance will be on the March 15, 1988, Council agenda. Timmins recommended including language as follows, "City Manager shall endorse his/her approval on the license application prior to its presentation to Council. McDonald stated at the March 15, 1988, Council meeting that Council could collapse the first reading, give the ordinance second reading and give it final approval on April 5, 1988. Timmins said the proposed ordinance would not address the County Courthouse. PLAZA VENDORS PERMIT FEES: Reel 88-19, Side 1 Larson said that the proposed increase in fees would address the fairness issue with property owners that pay property taxes. Councilmembers dis- cussed the trash problems in the downtown area. Atkins recommended rais- ing the Plaza vendor permit fees to $750 - allowing vendors to pay that fee in three payments, as well as requesting $1,000 from the Downtown Association to finance clean-up and maintenance of the downtown area. Atkins said a clean-up person could be scheduled to meet the clean-up needs of downtown. Helling reviewed current permit fees paid by Plaza vendors. Council agreed to increase the Plaza vendor permit fees, includ- ing the popcorn wagon, to $750. Helling said he would prepare a letter to the Downtown Association. u Minutes Informal City Council Meeting March 7, 1988 Page 5 COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA: Reel 88-19, Side 1 1. (Agenda Item No. 3.F.(3)) Courtney requested additional information regarding Lynne Vermace's request to picket the Civic Center, County Atty's office and Court House. Atkins stated he will prepare a re- sponse. 2. Larson inquired about the property located at 923 Rider Street. Timmins stated staff is addressing problems regarding trash in the front yard.

Strait inquired about the status of the clean-up of Dale Gerot's property at the end of Gilbert Street. Staff will follow-up. 4. In response to Horowitz, Atkins said he is preparing a report regard- ing reorganization of Boards and Commissions. 5. Horowitz inquired about the status of the Jack Young property located in the 400 block of Church Street. Atkins reported Mr. Young was fined. Timmins said the City is waiting for a decision from the magis- trate. 6. Timmins reported the City lost its argument re salvage yard use in- volving Bernard Yeggy, but said the court's opinion stated the goats are not pets and have to be removed. 7. Ambrisco announced the JCCOG will meet on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. at the Iowa City Transit Facility. 8. Atkins said a suggestion was made to redesign the Airport Manager position, but the Airport Commission has already advertised and ac- cepted applications for that position. Council agreed the Airport Manager position should be evaluated and directed the Mayor to draft a letter to the Airport Commission requesting the matter be reviewed. 9. Horowitz announced that Tuesday is International Women's Day. Horowitz reported that she and Dickson represented Council at a meeting with International students last Friday.

Public hearingon an ordinance to rezone the site of Hunter's Run Subdi- vision, Parts 2 an a 57.66 -acre tract imme late to t e west rom PDH -5 0 Franklin stated this ordinance would permit development as a conventional, single-family residential subdivision. H. Public hearing on an ordinance to 615 East Franklin stated the Planning and Zoning Commission reconnended denial by a vote of 5-2 which was consistent with staff recommendation for denial. Franklin stated that included in Council packets was an ordinance to rezone and a resolution expressing reasons for denial. Staff recommended denial because it is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan and it violates the intent of the RNC -20 zone. Franklin said there was a con- cern by the Planning and Zoning Commission that they be consistent. Franklin asked Council if the resolution for denial should be placed on the agenda. McDonald stated Council will discuss this item at Tuesday's formal Council meeting. Franklin said this is a conditional zoning. The Planing and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning condition that future development in the area would have to have secondary access. The condi- tional zoning agreement says the City agrees to the rezoning of 18.42 acres from ID -RS to RS -5, allows development of 26 residential lots, and no further rezoning of the 42 acres will be approved until secondary access is provided. Dickson asked if 18 acres would be safe without secondary access. Franklin referred Councilmembers to a memo from Fire Chief Larry Donner outlining reservations. In response to Larson, Franklin stated Pepperwood Addition, Normandy Drive area and existing First and Rochester are developments with more than 29 units but without secondary access. Franklin presented Councilmembers with a plat map of the proposed development. McDonald noted the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion is planning to review the secondary access policy and make recommen- dations to Council. Councilmembers discussed secondary access u a ki possibilities for the area. Franklin said another concern is to increase traffic generated by the extension of the development. Franklin said the question to Council is if they agree with the Planning and Zoning Commis- sion that the subdivision be allowed to be developed without secondary access in anticipation of getting the secondary access in the future. Franklin said the Planning and Zoning Commission should address the secondary access issue by this summer. Ambrisco stated he had not prob- lems with the proposed conditional zoning language. McDonald noted the conditional zoning was a compromise worked out between the Planning and Zoning Commission and the developer. J.

Ambrisco noted Councilmembers received a memo from City Manager Atkins regarding the ICAD presentation. Ambrisco said he encourages their activities. 3. Council agreed to not schedule a City Council meeting on May 31, 1988. Additions to Holiday Inn: Reel 88-24, Side 1 Cain explained that because the original Holiday Inn was constructed with an Urban Development Action Grant, the Council needs to give its consent to any alterations to the original premises and to any additional financing, Cain introduced Fred Katter, President of Pineapple Management; Diane Paauwe, Director of Development; and Steve Tarara, Holiday Inn Manager. Fred Katter presented information regarding the growth in revenues and the proposed addition to the Holiday Inn. Katter stated the expansion will add an eighth and ninth floor, expand the hotel from 178 rooms to 236 rooms, upgrade the elevator systems, and upgrade the electrical and mechanical systems. Katter said the construction would begin in May and be completed by the start of the University football season. Katter stated his company is strongly inter- ested in the adjacent property to the east of the hotel. Katter asked Coun- cil for their support for the proposed addition onto the hotel. In response to Strait, Katter said the Holiday Inn has room for growth in the food and beverage business and can accommodate additional parking. Katter said that by adding rooms, the hotel will be able to encourage convention business. In response to Horowitz, Katter said the height of the hotel as it relates to the other downtown buildings was studied. In response to Courtney, Katter said only two floors could be added to the present structure. Atkins said the City will try to accommodate the parking needs for the construction project. Construction of Water Storage Tanks/University Parking Ram eel 88-24, Side 1 Dick Gibson presented a model of an information relating to the proposed construction of the water storage tank and University parking ramp. Gibson explained issues relating to the 28E Agreement are: right-of-way on Capitol Street, vacation of right-of-way on Bloomington Street, easements on Daven- port Street, temporary construction easements, construction and cost reim- bursement, ownership of storage tanks/City, ownership of land/University, maintenance obligations of tank, maintenance obligations of parking struc- ture, and the construction process. Rod Kruse, Hebert, Lewis, Kruse, Blunck Architects, presented the model of the proposed project. Kruse said the project is comprised of the parking garage structure, central cooling tower elements, water storage tank and recreation deck. Kruse said the project includes a handicapped accessible bridge, elevator and stairway system that also serves the garage. Kruse proposed closing Bloomington Street and maintaining a fire and service access Side 2 alley. Kruse noted the University long-range plans include closing North Capitol Street for a pedestrian mall. In response to Strait, Kruse said the University anticipates that construction will start mid or late summer. In response to Larson, Schmadeke said construction and operating costs for the storage tank at that location were considered. In response to Strait, Atkins estimated cost of the project would be paid by an estimated 3% increase in user rates. In response to Horowitz, Brinton said the new storage tank would not improve/affect the taste of water. Council gave their support for the project as proposed. Atkins stated Coun- cil will be voting on the matter again. Gibson stated after adoption of the resolution 4/5, the Board of Regents will be contacted and work begun on a 28E agreement. Meeting adjourned at 8:25 p.m.
