A Franklin stated Samuel Drive is an existing platted street which has never been opened; the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the subdivision and waiving sidewalk requirements on Samuel Drive; and there was an additional recommendation to the Board j of Adjustment that they consider a variance or special exception to a 60' lot width requirement. The 60' lot width requirement would set the houses on these lots farther back than the usual 20' and put them further into the ravine. In response to Larson, Franklin said a number of factors are taken into consideration and each case is looked at when recommendations are made to waive the sidewalk requirement. Strait asked if Samuel Drive is comparable to the Nottingham Place Subdivision.

Atkins requested Council defer action for two weeks to allow staff to review previous planning discussions and prepare additional information.

Timmins said as long as the bid price stays constant and the City does not make any major concessions in the develop- ment of the property, there should not be any problem.

Reel 88-30, Side 1 Strait raised a concern about spot zoning. Schmeiser explained there is an Iowa Supreme Court opinion that there is legal and illegal spot zoning and staff does not consider this amendment illegal spot zoning. In response to Courtney, Schmeiser said there are two other properties in the CB -2 zones that are over 8,000 square feet. Schmeiser noted there was also a recommendation from the Chamber of Commerce and Downtown Association that the City undertake a study of problems relating to parking in the downtown area. Schmeiser explained the amendment to require low-rise buildings/with three stories to have one more story before they are classified as a high-rise building. Horowitz asked how the building inspection staff feel about the amendment. Schmeiser said it was a code enforcement staff that recommended the amendment to the planning staff. Strait asked staff to notify Council when there is applications for a permit to waive certain standards for subdivisions under conditions of hardship. d. e. f. See item e. 9• See item e. h. No comment. McDonald noted Council received Atkins' 5/13 memo regarding Idyllwild Subdivision, a report from Ed Brinton, and correspondence from Clemens Erdahl. Horowitz asked if a subdivision agreement with the Home Owners Association could be included in a resolution. Timmins stated the subdivision agreement becomes a covenant. Larson said a covenant runs with the land and any restrictions on the use of the property passes to anybody that buys the property. Horowitz said that she is interested in longevity and maintenance. Larson said the warrant study needs to be greatly expanded and asked Councilmembers to be ready to articulate to staff what else is needed to make a decision. McDonald said correspondence was received from the developer requesting that Council take action and public input will be received at tomorrow's formal Council meeting. Strait said he has questions relating to hydraulics. Horowitz noted she is interested in the flood insurance aspects of the development. Schmeiser presented a plat map of Nottingham Place and stated the Planning & Zoning Commission recommended against approval of the resolution primarily because of existing traffic situation in the area. Schmeiser said other concerns were: that access to the subdivision would be from Whiting Avenue and down the 12% grade and concerns regarding destruction to the natural environment. Larson asked if this could be considered an arterial collector street and therefore, the grade requirement would be different. Timmins said Public Works has standards adopted for street construction and there is a requirement that arterial streets be constructed on an eight or nine percent grade. Larson asked how people will access onto Foster Road. Schmeiser said Wildwood Drive would be extended north to tie in where Foster Road would go east and west. Schmeiser said staff encourages the integration of streets within an area because it j - k. provides integration of people within that area and the community's interest as a whole should be considered. Horowitz said the soil and design of the street should be looked at. Strait stated correspondence was received from Dr. Bovjberg stating that the subdivision would disturb the environment. Ambrisco asked staff to address if a house could be built safely on the hillside. Schmeiser said the City's building inspectors could address that. Schmeiser stated the applicant does propose to extend the sewer at their expense along the westerly boundary. Councilmembers referred to photos of the area. Councilmembers discussed the alternative sewer routes. McDonald explained the disagreement between the two Property owners has been resolved. Larson raised concerns regarding the destruction of trees to extend the sewer. Schmeiser stated the applicant has requested this item be deferred. Schmeiser ermiates before the nCouncil'�s nexxtdmeeting �butptheoapplicantpsaidahetwillnsend a letter waiving that 60 -day limitation period before tomorrow's formal meeting. See item j. Schmeiser suggested this item be included with item 5a., consideration of parking requirements in the CB -2 zone. Atkins asked Council to refer this recommendation to him. Horowitz suggested that City Council and university representatives take part in the study. Schmeiser noted that the JCCOG work program includes an item concerning a comprehensive study of parking in downtown. Larson about suggested concerne teconomic eishe nvolved. the odowntown d area. is be relating to marketability. said one part of the study will Council agreed to refer the recommendation to City Council. Denial of Zoning Request -Resolution Stating Reasons: Reel 88-30, Side 2 Timmins explained the reason legal staff has suggested a resolution be adopted by Council is to increase the likelihood of being able to uphold the decision should it be challenged by the parties seeking rezoning or subdivision. Timmins said legal staff is willing to amend the procedure to wait for the public and Council discussion of the item and then, extract the reasons and put them in a resolution to present to Council at their next meeting. Horowitz asked if a resolution would be predated to the date that the denial actually took place. Timmins said no. Council agreed with the amended procedures as outlined by the City Attorney stating reasons for denial of the zoning request would be presented to Council at the meeting immediately following the denial. Benton Street Bridge Update: Reel 8B-30, Side 2 Atkins presented a brief history of the Benton Street bridge project. Atkins explained the estimated cost for the bridge replacement is $2.8 million and was planned to be financed by $650,000 bridge funds, $290,000 in federal aid to urban systems money and the remainder financed by Iowa City. Atkins reported that an earlier engineering analysis indicated the bridge could not be repaired based upon the City's replacement plan. The City had intended to build the bridge project in March of this year but the Federal Highway Administration has reviewed the design and discovered some additional problems with the original design of the bridge. Atkins stated the Federal Highway Administration wants Iowa City to have a full inspection of the bridge, costing $22,000. Also, the family of the bridge designer notified the State Historic Preservation Office about the unique nature of the design of the bridge. Therefore, the State Historic Preservation Office will not sign off on the planned design and has asked the City to have an independent study done, costing $9,000, to determine if the design is unique. Atkins stated the longer the City waits to do the bridge project, the less likelihood of the receipt of federal and state aid, it is likely the bridge project will not be done this year, and there are no guarantees that the funding that is currently in place will still be in place next year. Atkins explained the bridge will likely need to be posted for load limits and businesses in the area could be adversely affected. Atkins recom- mended the City proceed with the inspections. Horowitz said it has been known for over one year that the bridge is a historical structure and the City can destroy things as long as it is documented. Schmadeke said the study will demonstrate if the bridge can be restored to its original design with the existing steel members. In response to Courtney, Schmadeke said the two inspections are the same but will be done by two different people. Atkins explained if the bridge design remains the same, the bridge could not be widened. Schmadeke said the FHWA might not approve the reconstruction of the bridge to its original design. Horowitz said that it is her understanding that historic buildings can be dismantled as long as there is thorough documentation. In response to Ambrisco, Schmadeke said the bridge cannot be widened and still maintain the historical design of the structure. Council discussed alternatives to the bridge replacement. City Council directed Atkins to proceed with both inspections. /y Review Budget Amendments: Reel 88-30, Side 2 Vitosh stated the Council received her May 12, 1988, memo regarding FY88 budget amendments. Vitosh explained that a total of $129,744 of the contingency fund has been appropriated. Horowitz asked why budget item #8103 -microcomputers shows up so many times throughout the budget amendment. Vitosh said that it was money budgeted in FY87 for microcomputers and the money was originally budgeted in the City Manager's budget. The amendment moves the money from the City Managers budget to the divisions'. The microcomputers were ordered near the end of FY87 and paid for in FY88. Horowitz asked what a bank franchise tax is. Vitosh said a bank franchise tax is a tax that banks in the local area pay based on their earnings and Atkins said that it is a state tax on bank earnings which is redistributed by the state to localities. Regarding budget item 8138 -team entry fees, Horowitz asked if the City pays for an increased number of umpires. Vitosh said that the number of games were increased and the increased expenditure budget was offset by the increased revenues from the team entry fees. Regarding item 08030 -charges for refuse in the Central Business District, Courtney asked who the City pays for refuse pickup. Vitosh explained that refuse is an enterprise fund and the City charges itself for that service. Regarding items 8031-50% match for ECM study, Courtney asked if the City received results from the study. Kimble explained the studies were done two years ago and the funds were never transferred from the water department and landfill division into the energy conservation fund. Horowitz requested a copy of the Stanley 1986 Waste Management Report. Horowitz inquired about the detailed expenses received in the Council packet. Vitosh said the City is required by state law to publish the listing and therefore it is supplied to Councilmembers. Housing Code: Reel 88-32, Side 1 Boothroy explained that the Housing Code changes are primarily housekeeping in nature. Boothroy summarized changes as follows: The City can cite violations of the housing code either as municipal infraction or a misdemeanor, clarify payment of fees, permit and reinspection fees are to be paid prior to the issuance of a rental permit, require owner - occupied condominiums and cooperatives to be inspected if they are in buildings in which rental units are found, and the director may contract to have work done as necessary to remedy a violation. Horowitz stated that there are situations where people are living in converted chicken coops in garages. Boothroy stated it is difficult to make a case for over -occupancy. Boothroy stated additional tenants responsibilities have been added and there are situations where the City will have the authority to cite tenants. Other changes include maintenance of fire protection equipment and provisions for citing the tenant for storing flammable materials in the furnace room. 6 Timmins stated that the provision regarding the permit and reinspection fees should be set by resolution. Legal will review prior to Council action 5/17. In response to Larson, Boothroy stated that the copy of the Housing Code changes could be sent to the Apartment Owners' Association. Council Time Agenda: Reel 88-32, Side 1 1. In response to Courtney, Karr explained the correspondence distributed by Mr. Gay this evening will be discussed at the formal meeting 5/17, item 5e., Idyllwild Subdivision. 2. Strait inquired about the abandoned house located at 420 Church Street. Atkins explained the Housing Inspection Department has tried to address problems relating to the property and suggested Council consider an abandoned building ordinance. Boothroy said the Fire Department has also been contacted regarding the structure. Council - members directed the staff draft an abandoned building ordinance. i' Appointments: Reel 88-32, Side 1 I CCN: Agnes Kuhn 4I Meeting adjourned at 8:50 p.m. I r
