Dear Councilmembers:
At their regularly scheduled meeting held October 13, 1988, the
Board of Directors of the Iowa City Area Development Group
unanimously approved the attached statement of support to the
Press -Citizen expansion.
We strongly endorse the decision of the Press -Citizen and Gannett
to invest in our community and encourage positive support of
their plans.

Iowa City is a place where the quality of life is something
everyone brags about.
Those who live here know what accounts for that quality:
the diversity of people and of local businesses, the University,
the opportunity for exposure to cultural and sports activities,
the natural environment. But one thing that seldom appears in
such a list of assets is our local newspaper. It should, for a
local newspaper enhances the quality of life in a community.
The Iowa City Press -Citizen recently made a major commitment
to the future in this community. The announcement of the
newspaper's intention to build a new plant in Iowa City and bring
its operations into today's technological age should be applauded
and the Iowa City Area Development Group, Inc., will be glad to
lead the applause.
Iowa City area residents have access to an assortment of
national newspapers, a statewide newspaper with a national
reputation, one which provides us with excellent coverage of
Eastern Iowa events and a consistently highly -ranked college
newspaper.
But we still need the Press -Citizen. A city's local
newspaper plays a role that can be played by no other.
It is the local newspaper that provides coverage of local
affairs, of actions of governmental entities, of the university
and the city's schools, of business and industry, of local
culture and history, of church and civic events, of children and
senior citizens, of sports. Its success may well depend on how
well it does these things and on the satisfaction and good will
it provides its readers.
Those of us involved in economic development know that when
companies investigate new locations they look beyond labor costs,
transportation access, incentives or utility costs to the
intangibles -- community spirit, the people, the quality of
life. Our local newspaper contributes to that sense of
community.
Beyond that contribution, however, there is a more tangible
contribution. The Iowa City Press -Citizen serves as one of our
major existing industries employing 82 full and 40 part-time
employees and contracting with 290 carriers and drivers to
deliver the newspaper. Its annual payroll is $2 million.
Community citizenship is also shown by the parent
corporation the Gannett Foundation which has invested more than
$430,000 in grants to over 90 local community organizations and
agencies in the past decade. And they have provided matching
funds for contributions made by Gannett employees totaling
$170,000.
The action taken by the Iowa City Press -Citizen to build
anew demonstrates its desire to continue serving this community.
It demonstrates commitment to Iowa City by the Gannett
organization. And it demonstrates a recognition of the vitality
of our community and faith in its future.
The Iowa City Area Development Group supports the Press -
Citizen's expansion plans.

Dear Mayor:
Earlier I had written the Council to request that the Sign Amendment be given
expidited consideration. We thought that first consideration would be aththe
October 18, 1988 Council Meeting. Barry Beagle called me last week and said
that he had forgotten to run the public notice in the newspaper. Now the Amendment
must be deferred until the November 1, 1988 Council Meeting.
The only reason I am writing you a note is to re-emphasize the need to expidite
the Sign Amendment. As I had mentioned in an earlier letter, the Iowa Department
of Transportation has given us until December 1, 1988 to remove our current sign.
In addition, I am hesitant to order a new pole and sign until we have a finalized
decision from the Council. Now that Barry failed to run the public notice last
week we are being faced with a delay that was not planned.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
44-1 „ /J

The Honorable Charles Grassley
U.S. Senate
135 Hart Senate Office Building
Washington, D.C. 20510
Dear Senator Grassley:
CITY OFIOWA CITY
Same letter to Senator Harkin and
Representative Nagle
I wrote to you in June of this year expressing the City's concern with
regard to the continued funding for the Section 312 Housing Rehabilitation
Program. In August, 1988, Senator Harkin's office indicated that the
program would be funded at $200 million in 1989. In fact, Congress
decided to use that $200 million to continue funding the CDBG program at
the $3 billion level, and increase the funding for other programs.
We are very pleased that the CDBG program can continue at its current
reduced level; however, I want to reiterate my concern that one of the
very few federal housing rehabilitation programs that remains, has now
been virtually eliminated. This program is set up so that it can function
by using its own loan repayments, i.e. without requiring anyewew money.
It is my understanding that even the loan repayment funds generated by the
Section 312 program itself are being transferred to other programs in
FY89. This action seems to be inappropriate for a successful, self-
sustaining program. Restoration of the approximately $90 million
generated by loan repayment could permit the Section 312 program to
function, albeit at a reduced level, and would avoid wasting the training
and administrative time invested by many communities, particularly during
the past year. This investment is truly the City's investment, since
Section 312 monies cannot be used for administrative and training
purposes.
I urge you to try to restore, at a minimum, the approximately $90 million
in loan repayments for the Section 312 program, to that program so that it
can continue to function.
Yours sincerely,
ephen J t ci s

underwrite three UI biotechnology research projects. The grants were
approved by the Iowa Department of Economic Development.
A UI multidisciplinary research team is joining with Iowa State
University researchers and the City of Cedar Rapids in a $1,225,000 project
to develop and teat ways to convert fermentation by-products into useful new
products and processes.
President Rawlings says the OI is studying the feasibility of
developing a 160 -acre research park on its Oakdale Campus to promote
University research, enhance economic growth in Iowa, offer opportunities
for faculty interaction with private research firms and assist in technology
transfer.
Thousands of persona visited the OI exhibit at World Ag Expo where
UI Hospitals and Clinics staff performed 2,037 skin cancer checks, about 900
blood typings, 778 pulmonary function screenings, 358 cholesterol checks and
thousands of blood pressure testa.
An era has ended at the University with the retirements of Paul and
Hualing Nieh Engle, who brought world fame to the UI with their work in the
Iowa Writers' Workshop and International Writing Program.
Chemistry Professor Landis Davis has been appointed acting associate
vice president for academic affairs, and Dean of Students Phillip E. Jones
has temporarily taken on added duties as acting director of special
support services.

DAVENPORT, IOWA
August 31, 1988
Frank Farmer, City Engineer
City of Iowa City
410 East Washington Street
Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Mr. Farmer:
Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Company hereby requests the
City of Iowa City to grant permission to install a padmount
transformer in the sidewalk area on the north side of Washington
Street. The center lines of the transformer will be approximately
100 feet east of the centerline of Clinton Street and 28 feet
north of the centerline of Washington Street.
The transformer will be similar to the transformer shown on
the accompanying photographs. The photographs were taken at
various angles and show the site with and without the transformer.
The transformer was temporarily set on the sidewalk, at the location
we are requesting, and was removed after the pictures were taken.
This transformer is necessary to serve the electric requirements
of buildings adjacent to the southwest corner of the block bounded
by Washington, Clinton, Iowa and Dubuque Streets. Iowa -Illinois is
planning to provide electric service to the buildings in this block
from the front, street side, of these buildings. We are presently
serving most of the buildings along Dubuque Street from a padmount
transformer on Dubuque Street between Washington and Iowa. We also
have two padmount transformers on Iowa between Clinton and Dubuque
that will serve the buildings along Iowa and a portion of the
buildings along Clinton between Washington and Iowa. The transformer
site we are requesting will serve the buildings along Washington
and the remaining portion of the buildings along Clinton. We are
planning to connect buildings to these transformers as the buildings
upgrade their electric service in the future.
The present electric facilities we have in the center court,
which is at the rear of the buildings, in this block cannot be
expanded due to space limitations and clearance problems with overhead
wiring. It is planned to some day have all of our overhead facilities
removed from this court area. This will provide additional space
for tenants of the buildings and a safer area for firemen if a fire
were to occur.

There are seven areas in which volunteers are needed, five areas that
need persons who will serve as advocates.
There are two programs that need space and two programs that need sponsors.
In all there are 33 items listed. This is not an extensive listing, but it

Beagle stated that he no new information to present to the Commis-
sion.
Chairperson Scott reconvened the public hearing on an amendment to
the 1983 Comprehensive Plan Update.
Gary Appleby, U of I Community Credit Union, explained to the
Commission the rapid growth of the University of Iowa Community
Credit Union in the last month. Appleby indicated their drive-
through customers often extend into the alley causing congestion
problems at the present location and the Credit Union's desire to
properly serve their members and not cause traffic congestion in the
adjacent alley.
Pat Eckhardt, 514 North Linn Street, expressed her desire of seeing
the amendment denied by the Commission and to maintain the current
zoning, RNC -20. Eckhardt concluded by stating that while a business
can move, a neighborhood cannot.
Kim Marker, 604 Iowa Avenue, stated that he agrees with the first
speaker and that the Credit Union should be the one to suffer any
inconvenience and not the neighborhood. Marker continued and related
information concerning the renovation of the house the Community
Credit Union's first occupied before constructing their present
facility. Marker explained that while the Credit Union did pay for
the renovation of that house, it does not appear they paid for moving
the house to its new location on Washington Street, but rather the
record seems to indicate that the person who bought the home paid the
moving cost. However, Marker did indicate that the records were
incomplete. Marker continued and explained that he does not feel the
Credit Union would actually move the two homes on Iowa Avenue unless
someone would be willing to pay for the houses and move them. Marker
concluded by saying that his home and others in this area are of
architectural significance, because they exist in context with each
other and that they deserve not to be razed as many other homes have
been in Iowa City.
Carol Spaziani, 529 East Washington, asked the Commission whether the
Central Business District was planned to expand eastward. Scott
replied that there were no plans to move the commercial district to
the east. The present Comprehensive Plan designations were intended
to delimit the expansion of the downtown.
Ginalie Swaim, 1024 Woodlawn, stated that she and her husband had
purchased an older home in the area and opposes the Credit Union's
plan as it would disrupt the residential nature of the area and would
permit an eroding of the residential nature by permitting commercial
uses.
Sandra Eskin, 1047 Woodlawn, stated that she opposed the proposed
zoning change and the amendment to the Comprehensive Plan Update as
the RNC -20 zoning was intended to protect residential areas from
commercial encroachment. Eskin stated that she feels that the Credit

Union has been sporadically growing and is opposed to any further
expansion by the Credit Union.
Donald Macfarlane, 943 Iowa Avenue, stated that he was opposed to the
proposed rezoning because allowing homes to be rezoned and destroyed
sends a bad message to other homeowners concerning the upkeep of
their homes. Macfarlane continued and said that if the Commission
were to deny this request, it would send a strong message that they
support the neighbors' efforts in renovating their homes.
Nancy Seiberling, representing the Johnson County Heritage Trust,
stated that she agrees with those who opposed the destruction of the
homes. Seiberling continued and related how 1989 will mark the 150th
anniversary of Iowa City. Seiberling urged the Commission to
consider the historical nature of this area and to protect them.
Fred Krause, President of the U of I Community Credit Union, stated
that the Credit Union office building was an improvement over what
was currently existing as the area was not in particularly good
shape. Krause stated that both homes on Iowa Avenue have firm offers
to be purchased and moved. Krause also stated that the Credit Union
does not intend to move across Johnson Street in any future expan-
sions. Krause concluded by explaining the operations of the Credit
Union and how this differs from a regular commercial bank. Dierks
asked whether the Credit Union intends to expand office space by
enlarging their current building. Krause replied that they planned
to fill in the area of the drive-thru lanes to make more office space
and relocate the drive-thru facility on-site. Dierks inquired as to
how many homes were moved when the Credit Union originally developed
the site they now occupy. Krause replied that the Credit Union moved
three and tore down three, two of which were abandoned homes. Cook
asked Krause what the Credit Union's contingency plans were if the
Commission were to vote this item down. Krause replied that to his
knowledge, as CEO of the Credit Union, there were no contingency
plans.
Steve Greenleaf, attorney for the Credit Union, stated that he was
concerned that the vote be made on this particular proposal for this
particular use and not consider long-range consequences of this
decision. Greenleaf continued and said that what may or may not
occur in the future has no bearing on this particular issue and that
the Commission should look at whether this proposal would change the
neighborhood, which is already a mixed use area. Greenleaf explained
that he feels that zone boundaries are a judgment call in regard to
what is best for the protection of the neighborhood. Greenleaf
concluded by stressing the need for the Commission to consider this
item within the context of this particular property and their
proposal.
Corrine Sutter, 609 Brown, inquired as to what taxes the Credit Union
pays. Sutter explained that she was in objection to the zoning
change on historical grounds and feels that to approve this rezoning
would be just the beginning of commercial encroachment into the
neighborhood.

Ginalie Swaim, 1024 Woodlawn, stated that in reply to comments by
Krause, that old houses can never be built again and that change can
be accepted in older neighborhoods, if older homes are being
preserved and adapted for student housing or professional offices.
The important thing, she said, is the retention of existing housing
stock to preserving desirable neighborhood characteristics.
Connie Sayre, 1033 Woodlawn, stated that she was opposed to the
proposed rezoning and related how Iowa Avenue was at one time a
depressed area, but recently has been experiencing significant
improvement.
Kim Merker, 604 Iowa Avenue, related how his property was at one time
rundown, but has been renovated and objected to Krause's contention
that these types of homes are worthless.
Donald Macfarlane, 943 Iowa Avenue, reiterated that homes can be and
are renovated on the eastern end of Iowa Avenue and will someday move
westward toward the Credit Union if not prevented by commercial
expansion.
Sandra Eskin, 1047 Woodlawn, stated that she does not feel that a
duplex or a bed and breakfast would be any less of a desirable use
than single-family in this area.
Chairperson Scott closed the public hearing at 8:28 p.m.
Cook moved to approve the amendment to the 1983 Comprehensive Plan
Update to change the land use classification of 528 and 530 Iowa
Avenue and 15 North Johnson Street from Residential: 25+ Dwelling
Units per Acre to Mixed Land Sse. Wallace seconded the motion.
Cook stated that there was a need to have cooperative effort between
the competing interests in order to save the neighborhood. Cook also
stressed the need for adaptive reuse and that the Credit Union could
undertake other avenues to make neighborhood friends through creative
financial tools. Cook continued and commented on the possible uses
for older homes including professional offices, moving the houses and
even demolition if the homes were not of historical value and were
beyond feasible renovation. Cook stated that change is inevitable,
but it must be done in a responsible manner. Cook concluded by
suggesting that Planning staff could develop new tools to enable the
Planning and Zoning Commission to deal with these types of issues in
a more flexible manner. Cook mentioned changes in the Zoning
Ordinance, use of CDBG funds and tax incentives.

Gerald Mansheim in opposition; Elizabeth M. Voss in opposition;
Cecilia Ridgeway in opposition; Caroline Hardesty in opposition;
Ginalie and Jim Swaim in opposition; Debra Gore in opposition; Donald
and Nancy Macfarlane in opposition; Dorothy W. Moeller in opposition.
Wallace moved to approve Z-8810. Hebert seconded the motion.
Wallace stated that this was the third time a request to rezone one
of the three properties has come before the Commission. Wallace
stated that twice before she had been the only member of the Commis-
sion voting for the rezoning and that at those times she felt the
house at 528 Iowa Avenue would remain and be put to a new use.
Wallace continued and said that she does not feel that the encourage-
ment of commercial uses was a valid concern. Wallace concluded by
saying that she did feel the expansion of the Credit Union would sig-
nificantly change the neighborhood.
Dierks stated that she will vote against this item and that she feels
that the housing stock of Iowa City must be maintained and that other
avenues should be explored to provide incentives for renovation of
older homes. Cooper stated that he will also vote against this item
because the line defining the zoning boundaries has been one drawn,
and there are substantial reasons for its placement.
Scott complimented the Credit Union as a corporate citizen, but
stated that this was not the issue at -hand. Scott continued and said
that the previous vote was for the Comprehensive Plan amendment, for
this area which is designed to encourage reinvestment by maintaining
existing housing stock, preserving desirable neighborhood charac-
teristics and putting a high value on protecting established neigh-
borhoods from non-residential commercial development. Scott reviewed
the purpose of the RNC -20 zone and noted that the zone was specially
designed to prevent encroachment by high density multi -family uses
and stabilize existing neighborhoods. Scott also reviewed the
previous requests by Emmit George and the Iowa City Crisis Interven-
tion Center and compared them to the current one. Scott stated that
the only real change has been the applicant's name. Scott concluded
by saying the public bodies must try to be consistent in their
decisions and that he has tried to use the same criteria for each
case and hope that as the previous two were voted down that this is
also voted down.
Roll call vote: Wallace: nay, Cook: nay, Cooper: nay, Dierks:
nay, Hebert: nay, Clark: yea, Scott: nay. The motion was defeated
1-6, Clark voting in the affirmative.
