Franklin explained land was set aside when Southwest Estates Part One was subdivided for future dedication of a portion of Phoenix Drive when land to the north was developed. Rural Development Standards: Reel 87-C35, Side 1 Franklin reviewed the proposed development standards for subdivisions in the extraterritorial jurisdiction as outlined in her June 25, 1987, memo to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Franklin stated the proposed standards are related to anticipated annexation of land; the current standards required a chipseal surface regardless if the area is anticipated for annexation; and the Board of Supervisors have expressed at chipseal surface is not neces- sary in areas within the two mile extrattherritorial jurisdiction where the City does not anticipate annexation. Franklin stated the proposed standards contain three levels: Level 1 - anticipated annexation in less than five years; Level 2 - anticipated annexation in five to ten years; and Level 3 - all other areas within the two mile extraterritorial fringe. Franklin stated the Planning and Zoning Commission added that all telephone and utility service lines located in Level 1 areas should be underground and in Level 3, the crushed rock put on roads should be six inches instead of three inches. Franklin said the Johnson County Zoning Commission will consider the proposed standards at the next meeting and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors have already looked at the standards. In response to Dickson, Franklin explained the urban design standards would be required in Level 1 because the anticipated annexation within five years. Franklin stated some members of the Board of Supervisors objected to the chipseal requirement for areas that were not anticipated for annexation because they thought it was an undue burden on people developing the area. In response to McDonald, Franklin said the City will need to look very care- fully at the anticipated annexation areas and there could still be a two tiered policy where urban design standards would be applied to the first mile of the two mile extraterritorial jurisdiction and chipseal standards to the second mile. Council agreed the proposed standards should be referred to the fringe area committee for consideration. Fee Study: Reel 87-C35, Side 1 Vitosh stated Council received her July 22, 1987, memo regarding 1987 fee study. Courtney inquired about the mechanical permit fee. Vitosh explained the proposed fee schedule separates residential and commercial permits; the o fee was set similar to other housing permits; and the fee is tied to the value of the work that is being inspected. Courtney raised concerns about doubling fees. Vitosh noted fees had not been reviewed on an annual basis in the past. Courtney stated the infant interment fee should not be increased. Vitosh explained the fees were tied to what the actual costs were to provide that service. Council agreed the infant interment fee should not be increased. Vitosh said resolutions related to the fee changes will be pre- pared. Susan Horowitz suggested City boards and commissions review the fee schedule. Atkins stated City boards and commissions could be asked to review the fee schedule on an annual basis during the budget process. .a• 3 Council Time/Agenda; I.

CONSENT CALENDAR ADDITIONS: Reel 87-C35, Side 2 The City Council agreed to add a Class C Liquor License for Mama's and a special Class C Beer;Wine Permit for Superspud Food Shoppe to the Consent Calendar. PLANNING AND ZONING MATTERS: Reel 87-C35, Side 2 A. Resolution rescinding Resolution No. 84-213 approving the final plat for BDI Fifth Addition. Moen stated that the subdivider now wishes to resubdivide Me an in a different fashion and a rescission of the resolution approving the original design will avoid confusion as to which subdivision design prevails. B. Resolution to a rove the reliminar and final lat of BDI Fifth Addition. oen s a e s a and the Planning anol Zoning Commission recommended the sidewalk requirements be waived for this subdivision. Moen noted the Planning Department and Public Works Department recom- mended that access to Lots 11 and 12 of the subdivision be limited to a single access drive from Scott Boulevard to facilitate movement of traffic. The Planning and Zoning Commission did not support this recommendation because of the limited size of the access point. Moen explained the Public Works Department has determined that the access drive could be widened to allow industrial type vehicles to access the point. Moen encouraged Council to adopt a resolution with a restric- tion to restrict access to Lots 11 and 12 to one access drive. In response to McDonald, Moen stated the access drives' width at the curb opening would be 70' and the opening at the side would be 24'. McDonald raised concerns that the access drive would not be wide enough to handle semi truck traffic. Moen said staff addressed the need to restrict access on to Scott Boulevard to facilitate movement of large volume traffic along Scott Boulevard. LEGALIZATION OF ACCESSORY APARTMENTS: Reel 87-C35, Side 2 Boothroy reviewed information included in his August 5, 1987, memo to City Council regarding legalization of accessory apartments and asked Council to give serious consideration to the concept. Boothroy noted the Housing Commission and Planning and Zoning Commission are supportive of the con- cept. Boothroy stated that accessory apartments would not create a duplex r - MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION AUGUST 10, 1987 PAGE 2 situation, a home with an accessory apartment would be an owner -occupied hone and the image of a single-family neighborhood would not change. Boothroy said a need exists within Iowa City for accessory apartments. In response to Strait, Boothroy noted the City Manager has reviewed infor- mation about accessory apartments and is supportive of the concept. Courtney stated apartment house owners may object to legalizing accessory apartments. Boothroy stated that there has not been a decline of property values in neighborhoods where the program has been implemented. Courtney suggested limiting the accessory apartments to the Shared Housing Program. Strait inquired about enforcement problems related to legalizing accessory apartments. Boothroy said an accessory apartment ordinance would assist the Housing Inspection Division in alerting property owners and additional inspection staff would not be needed to enforce the program. Boothroy stated the accessory apartment inspection program would be integrated with the City's regular inspection program. The majority of Council directed Boothroy to further develop the accessory apartment concept. TRANSIT FARE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM: Reel 87-C35, Side 2 Marge Penney stated that Council received her August 3, 1987, memo regard- ing the free bus ticket program. Penney noted that the Crisis Center has requested that Council increase its maximum allotment of bus tickets from 75 to 100 tickets each month. Council agreed to continue the transit fare assistance program and to increase the Crisis Center's bus ticket allot- ment as recommended. HUMAN SERVICES AGENCIES FUNDING PROGRAM - FY89: Reel 87-C35, Side 2 Penney stated that the Human Service Agency funding request packets for FY89 are being prepared. Penney reported that the Johnson County Board of Supervisors has changed their position from the previous year and now want the human service agencies to prepare only one budget request. Penney stated use of a budget addendum sheet last year was confusing. Council discussed last year's Human Service Agency budget packet. In response to Baker, Penney said that last year the City and County required a $0 in- crease. Baker stated that it seems that every year City department budg- ets are increased and budgets for human service agencies do not increase correspondingly. Strait inquired about staff salary increases. Penney stated that there are agencies that have not had staff salary increases in the past couple of years, agencies are losing staff, and salary recommen- dations have not been revised since 1984. o' Council agreed to ask human service agencies to prepare one budget. CITY PARK POOL: Reel 87-C37, Side 1 Parks and Rec Director Trueblood recommended Council acceptance of the low bid, $770,300, from Larson Construction Company for the renovation of the City Park pool.

Barker, owner of Emerald Court Apartments, requesting Council not increase inspection fees. Edwin Barker reviewed inspec- tion fees paid in previous years and asked Council to not increase fees.
