Moen noted the Planning and Zoning Commission approved an exception to those standards allowing a 50 foot right-of-way. In response to Dickson, Moen said septic systems and individual wells will be installed on each of the three lots. Ambrisco inquired about the subdivision fees charged by the County. Franklin explained the fees charged by the City for review in the County are the same as what the City charges for review in the City. In response to Strait, Moen said deficiencies relating to the type of surface of road have been remedied. Moen said all deficiencies and discrepancies identified by City staff have been resolved. •-•• -e v -"� tunmm tuning commission recommended, on a vote 6-0, that Council present a finding to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors that the subject rezoning is consistent with the newly amended Area 4 Policy. Beagle reported the Planning and Zoning Com- mission found two inconsistencies with this request with the newly amended policy of Area 4: 1) legal description submitted for the five individual sites identified parcels which were less than three acres in size; and 2) the County Zoning Ordinance should be amended to make revisions for a new zone which permits residential development at a lot density of one dwelling unit per three acres. Beagle said the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends that any rezoning action within Area 4 be deferred pending resolution of the discrepancies. Beagle noted that the legal descriptions for the five three -acre home sites have been revised and the lots now meet the minimum three acre requirement. Franklin stated the recommendation is not for Council to defer this item, but for Council to advise the Board of Supervisors that they defer any action on th the e rezoning until the discrepancy in Zoning Ordinance is taken care of. In response to Ambrisco, Franklin explained the County charges for rezoning by the area, the City utilizes a flat fee for rezoning actions regardless of the size of the area involved, and the City does not charge a fee for County rezoning. CORALVILLE MILLDAM STUDY: Reel 87-C14, Side 1 Tom Hayden, Shive-Hattery engineer representative, noted Council members received a new Coralville Milldam H droelectric Pro ect Preliminar Feasi- bility Report w e nc u e c anges relating o e a u a on o revenue and expenses summaries (page 12 and 12A of the report). Hayden reviewed sections of the report as follows: COMPARISON OF SYSTEMS - page 3 Open bidding up to multiple types of turbines based on suppliers' bids for cost of equipment and establish an estimation of power produc- tion. MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 3 PROJECT SIZING, OUTPUT AND COST - page 5 Estimate that the project would generate 3.5 million kilowatt hours per year and Iowa City's water treatment plant uses 4.1 to 4.4 million kilowatt hours per year. Estimate project costs in 1989 dollars at $2 million. POWER SALES AND CREDIT - page 7 Power sales and credit contract with Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric Company is a good agreement and favorable to Iowa City. FINANCIAL ANALYSIS - page 9 Project is feasible under wide range of scenarios. TABULATION OF REVENUES AND EXPENSE SUMMARIES - page 12 and 12A Benefit/cost ratio greater than one indicates the City would receive more than one dollar for every one dollar invested - a feasible pro- ject and a benefit/cost ratio less than one indicates a non -feasible project. Based on bond interest rates, there is not a large difference between i revenue and GO bonds. I Power purchase escalation rate is the inflation rate for the purchase I of power. Energy Resource institute indicates for the next 20 years it is ex- pected the retail rate of power purchase rates will increase 1 and 1-1/2% to 2% per year greater than general inflation rate and the Department of Energy is estimating 1/4% per year greater than the general inflation rate. JOHNSON COUNTY CONSERVATION BOARD - page 13 Preliminary permit with Federal Regulatory Commission was extended because of the negotiations of the agreement with the Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric Company. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW - page 15 Principal issues are fish migration and fish mortality passing through turbines. There are extensive licensing requirements to satisfy concerns and questions of the resource agencies including the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, U.S. Fish and Wildlife, and USEPA. •_i MINUTES INFOP34AL COUNCIL DISCUSSION MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 4 PROJECT SCHEDULE - page 18 Anticipated project would be started and on-line by 1990. Hayden said the project is viable from a financial standpoint. Hayden stated that if the City decides to proceed with the project, three areas should be initiated: 1) FERC licensing process, 2) discussions with Johnson County Conservation Board, and 3) refinement of the project costs and purchase of properties. In response to Courtney, Hayden said the final design and letting of contracts for construction is the major costs and issues that could cause the greatest problems are environmental issues. Hayden noted that an endangered muscle species had been found in the Iowa River in the 1970's and, therefore, a muscle survey would be necessary. Ambrisco asked Atkins about financing the project. Atkins stated the project would need to be financed by selling a debt. Hayden said water revenue bonds could be used and water revenues would be used to abate those bonds. Hayden said the key to financing the project will be related to the inflation rate of the retail purchasing of electric energy. In response to Courtney, Hayden said the cost models in the report include operation, maintenance, replacement of equipment and materials, and estimates a 50 year plant life. In re- sponse to Ambrisco, City Manager Atkins said he and staff have only made a cursory review of the preliminary feasibility report. Council agreed with Ambrisco's recommendation that staff prepare a report for Council review before decisions about the milldam are made. Atkins stated staff will prepare a report for Council before the next informal Council meeting. MERCER PARK SWIMMING POOL SCHEDULE/CITY PARK POOL REPAIRS Reel 874,14, Side 1 Kevin Monson, representing Neumann -Monson, presented Council with south and north elevation plans of the structure and floor plans of the proposed swimming pool project. In response to questions from Council members, Monson said exterior materials for the pool will be glass and brick, City Park pool repairs will probably be bid out late July so construction can begin after the closing of the swimming season, and the City Park pool repair and proposed swimming pool facility bids were separated because of the difference and size of the projects. ADDITIONAL SEATS FUNDING Reel 87-C14, Sides 1 & 2 Lundell stated there is not any relationship between the decrease in the Iowa City Transit ridership and the increase in SEATS ridership. Lundell explained the increase in SEATS ridership is due to the convenience, increased use by businesses whose clients are handicapped and general overall growth in the number of handicapped persons living in this commu- nity. Lundell said the 1300rbased crr2er tri,adaeprojecting a $1,0shortfall in currentideshipprojc tions continue for the remainder of the fiscal year. Larry Olson, SEATS Manager, said SEATS operates seven days a week in the Iowa City urban area and persons eligible for SEATS service can call the SEATS office before 1:00 p.m, the day before a ride is needed to schedule that ride. Olson MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 5 said SEATS office is closed on Saturdays and Sundays and therefore people need to call in on Friday to schedule rides for Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Zuber said SEATS service is valuable in this community and sug- gested making a supplemental appropriation for this year only. Olson said ridership has increased because use by persons in wheelchairs has increased, agencies working with handicapped persons have made those tersons more aware of the SEATS n rips. Council fund the supplemental budget lequestmaking more COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA: Reel 87-C14, Side 2 1. (Agenda Item No. 22 - Sidewalk Assessments) Strait noted Council - members received Frank Farmer's March 5, 1987, memo regarding billings for sidewalk repair. 2. Dickson asked for information about the Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric aid program as it relates to obtaining contributions from the public for the transit system. In response to Dickson, Atkins stated he has requested information from Tom Hoogerwerf, District Manager of Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric. 3. (Agenda Item No. 25 - Plaza Use Permits.) In response to Courtney, Timmins said the only item proposed for amendment is that dealing with Item E - Insurance and Indemnity. Regarding newspaper vending ma- chines, Timmins stated the Legal Department has an ordinance which has been approved for use in Des Moines and it is acceptable to newspaper companies in Des Moines, including Gannett News. Timmins noted that ordinance will be presented to Council with staff recommendations. 4. (Agenda Item No. 20 - Changes in Fare Structure and Service Level of the Iowa City Transit.) In response to Courtney, Council agreed action on Agenda Item No. 20 should take place before Agenda Item No. 18 - the resolution adopting the budget. 5. Ambrisco stated the Melrose Bridge Improvements as scheduled in the FY88 CIP should not be done during the University of Iowa football season. Schmadeke said he would try to schedule the project so it does not interfere with football game day traffic. 6. (Agenda Item No. 20 - Changes in Fare Structure and Service Level of the Iowa City Transit.) McDonald stated he will talk about this item during the Council's formal meeting. APPOINTMENTS: Parks & Recreation Commission - Roger Dotson.

Council requested that CCCR forward a recommendation regarding issues associated with local tax options within 60 days. NORTH SIDE HISTORIC PRESERVATION DISTRICT BOUNDARIES: Reel 86-C14, Side 2 Zuber suggested City staff prepare an easy -to -read informational document and questionnaire to be sent to residents in the North Side Historic Preservation District and that every effort should be made to inform residents about the proposed North Side Historic Preservation District. Franklin stated staff has tried to notify residents, utilizing records from the City Assessor's Office and asked Councilmembers to forward the names and addresses of residents who have contacted them to staff. In response to McDonald, Franklin said revisions to the proposed North Side Historic Preservation District would need to go back to the Historic i Preservation Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission for review. Franklin noted a brochure had been developed and was sent to all persons in the North Side Area in 1983. Courtney inquired about the use of aluminum siding in the Historic Preser- vation District. Franklin explained that when the Historic Preservation Commission reviews rental rehabilitation projects, they advise that if siding is to be used it is of the same width lap as the original wood. Franklin said anything that does not require some type of regulated permit will not be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission and painting and aluminum siding do not require a regulated permit. In response to Ambrisco, Franklin stated that previous notifications to residents were sent by bulk rate first-class mail. McDonald stated he would like to review the informational letter before it is sent out to area residents. Franklin said once informational material is sent out to residents a follow-up notice could be sent out regarding Historic Preser- vation Commission and City Council public hearing dates. Franklin said Council will need to hold a public hearing if the proposed North Side Historic District is adopted with revisions. Franklin said any change would be sent back to the State for review and any substantial changes would require the Historic Preservation Commission to hold another public hearing and notify all property owners. MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION MARCH 9, 1987 PAGE 7 Atkins summarized that the goal of the Council is to have a brochure to simply inform residents what historic preservation is all about and to notify all residents within the boundaries of the currently proposed North Side Historic Preservation District. McDonald proposed that the vacant land and two RM -145 properties be de- leted from the proposed North Side Historic Preservation District. Councilmembers Strait, Ambrisco, and Baker agreed with McDonald's pro- posal. Courtney stated the North Side Historic District should be tried on a much smaller basis than what is currently proposed. Dickson stated the North Side Historic District boundaries should be set as originally pro- posed by the Historic Preservation Commission. Franklin said at tomor- row's formal Council meeting, Council should defer the item back to the Historic Preservation Commission with the recommendations to delete the RM -145 properties and undeveloped tract. In response to Franklin, Ambrisco said the informational letter should be sent postcardbeass included mail. with the Atkins informational letter self-addressedested a returnable beingsenttthe residents. Charlie Grunewald stated opponents and proponents of the proposed North Side Historic District should be present to open and count the responses received from the North Side residents. Dwight Finken said a majority of the residents do not want the North Side Historic District and property owners need more time to consider the facts involved with the proposed districting. EXECUTIVE SESSION: Moved by McDonald, seconded by Zuber, to adjourn to executive session under Section 21.5.J, real estate, to discuss the purchase of particular real estate only where premature disclosure could be reasonably expected to increase price ttl that propet .heminutes and he tape recording ofthesession closed under this paragraph shall be available for public examination when the transaction discussed is completed, and Section 21.5.C, litigation to discuss strategy with Council in matters that are presently in litigation or where litigation is eminent where its disclosure would be likely to prejudice or disadvantage the position of the governmental body in that litigation.
