LO
i` United Action for Youth has submitted an application to change
CO the zoning of property it is purchasing from the State Historical
CI) Society of Iowa. The purchase is supported in part with
e7 Community Development Block Grant funds from Iowa City and will
require an impact study prior to the release of CDBG funds from
0` the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Since the
seller is the state of Iowa, the sale requires the final approval
u of the state Executive Council and approval of the state Attorney
O General prior to closing.
UAY is seeking to expedite the process to the extent possible and
N is requesting that Planning and Zoning consider this rezoning
04 request in one meeting instead of two on June 18th. This will
allow the City to complete the readings (if approved) by August
)O 1st, the proposed closing date in the purchase agreement with the
3 State Historical Society of Iowa.
0 UAY is also requesting that on June 16th7 the City Council set
the public hearing on the rezoning change for June 30th,
subject to the approval by P&Z at its meeting June 18th.
N
l,J I will be attending all of these meetings and will be available
to answer questions at that time. If you have other questions
3 regarding UAY's need to expedite this process please feel free to
contact me at UAV, 338-7518. Thank you.

ANALYSIS
John Cruise is requesting for the law firm, Barker, Cruise, Kennedy, Houghton
& Foster, the vacation of that portion of the alley along the east side of
urban renewal Parcel A-3 from the north boundary of Parcel A-3 to Ralston
Creek. (See Attachment la: Location Map and Attachment 2: Letter of Re-
quest.) The lands surrounding this segment of the alley are vacant urban
renewal Parcels A-2 and A-3 which are being offered for sale by the City. As
Mr. Cruise explains in his letter, his firm hopes to purchase the alley when
vacated to incorporate it into building and parking plans for a proposed
office development. No matter who purchases the property, vacating the alley
to allow its purchase with urban renewal parcels A-2 and A-3 should increase
the value and marketability of the parcels. This would put the alley back on
the tax rolls and take this property out of the City's domain to maintain for
perpetuity.
Regardless of whether the urban renewal parcels are sold, the alley should be
vacated. The portion of the alley to be vacated is unimproved and does not
provide access to any other property except urban renewal parcels A-2 and
A-3.
The City has a sanitary sewer line which runs through the alley. A telephone
line also traverses the area. An easement will need to be established for
these public utility lines.
STAFF RECOMI4ENDATION
Staff recommends that the vacation of the alley be approved as requested,
subject to the provision of a utility easement over the alley.
