I am the owner of the house at 1405 Plum Street. It appears that with the approval of the Boyrum Street Subdivision, Boyrum Street will be extended from Highway 6 through to Highland Avenue. This means that a potentially busy street will be running directly behind my property. I strongly feel the construction of this road and the increased traffic to the area will alter the quiet atmosphere of the existing family neighborhood and will greatly take away from my enjoyment of the house as a residence. I further feel the value of the house and neighborhood will decrease due to the alteration of the area. Sincerely, L ,� `�G1ri�J/ICLLG^ Jim Shaw 01 MAP IAN ;(.

Ase Iowa City code nI writg the e parking letter, there are 4 or 5 boats, trailers, mobile homes Parked on the streets or driveways in our small neighbor- hood. Considerable visual hazzards occur for traffic and side walk use and more autos are parked in the street as a result of such "storage." These 6-11 feet high machin create a metal fence for all; es often the next door neigh- bors bear the brunt of such obstructions. I am surprised that Iowa City allows this. It deterio- ates.the value of the whole area. I urge the council to io allow storage and parking of recreation vehicles council ONLY in the owner's side and bank yards, not to extend beyond the front of the house and a 48 hour driveway parking for guests and trip preparations. This compromise, I belie accomodate all residents. Please consider it. would Your iv.- Marcia L.

Law Building Partnership Offer to Purchase Parcel A-2 and A-3 Offer to Purchase Alley Property Dear Members of the Council: On June 24, 1987, 1 wrote Marianne Milkman and offered to purchase that portion of the City alley lying between Parcels A-2 and A-3 for a total price of $500.00. I am now willing to amend that offer by increasing the purchase price to $1,667.00. Our original offer was subject to us also purchasing Par- cels A-2 and A-3. That contingency must remain in effect since this alley parcel would be of no use to us unless we completed the purchase of the adjacent land. Thank you for your help on this. Very truly yours, IS aueLl J n D. Cruise JDC/dc 02/39-01-108 o R � M 1 :,1987 MARIAN K. KARR CITY CLERK (3) 990 9 .a• City of Iowa City MEMORANDUM Date: July 8, 1987 To: City Council Members From: Mary Lee Dixon, Property Acquisition Specialist Re: Determination of Fair Market Value for the Disposition of a Portion of the North-South Alley between Benton Street and Ralston Creek, West of Gilbert Street Resolution No. 84-318 which deals with the disposition of minor parcels of public -owned land states that the value of said parcels shall be based on a price per square foot reflected in a sale within the past year of adjacent properties, or the assessed value of adjacent properties, whichever is greater. Adjacent to this alley segment are urban renewal Parcels A-2 and A-2, which the City is in the process of selling. A comprehensive appraisal has been completed to determine the fair market value of Parcel A-2 and Parcel A-3. According to this appraisal, the market value of these two parcels has been determined as follows: Parcel A-2: $21,000 or $1.75 per square foot Parcel A-3: $48,000 or $2.70 per square foot It should be noted that the Iowa City Law Building Partnership has submitted a bid to purchase Parcels A-2 and A-3. The purchase price as submitted by this Partnership is as follows: Parcel A-2: $21,001 Parcel A-3: $48,001 In the disposition of this alley segment, the recommended fair market value is $2,572 or $2.70 per square foot (the same as adjacent Parcel A-3). As the attached letter indicates, the Iowa City Law Building Partnership has submit- ted a bid to purchase this portion of the alley for $500 or $.52 per square foot. According to their correspondence, the Iowa City Law Building Partner- ship contends that since the property has a sanitary sewer running throughout its entire length, it makes it entirely unbuildable. As stated in their letter, the Iowa City Law Building Partnership may incorporate this alley segment into their parking plan. However, if the fair market value of the alley segment is determined by the value of the other adjacent parcel (A-2), the value would then be $1,667 or $1.75 per square foot. The appraisal for Parcel A-2 states that the use for this parcel would also most likely be oriented toward some type of parking facility due to the fact that it is encumbered by a 20 -foot permanent mainte- nance easement and that the buildable portion of subject site is rather limited. bj3/8 .w NMCE TW CITY CITY COINCIL OF IOWA PPPoIWfhENT CITY IS CONSIDERING AN TO THE FOLLOWING BOAR]: BOARDPoARD O� One vacancy _ July 14, 1987 _ Unexpired term Deceber 31, 1988 It is the duty of meters of the Baird of to hold appeal hearings uniform buildan netters concerninle ing code, "afters must be qualified by experience and training to pass upon matters per- taining to building construction, lava City appointed rtsrbers of boards and coax missions crust be eligible elector of the City of lava City, This appointfent will be fmde at the July 14, 1987, neeting of the City Council at 7:30 p.m. in the Council Chanters, persons interested in being considered for thi fog are s position should contact the City Clerk, Civic Canter, 410 E.
