CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF JULY 2 1987: Horowitz moved to approve the minutes of July 2, 1987, subject to the last sentence in paragraph 5, page 8, being stricken from the record. Cooper seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. DEVELOPMENT ITEMS: 1. 5-8715. Discussion of an application submitted by Clifford and Ramona B11—for approval of a final plat for C.R. Bell's Subdivision, a 12.32 acre, 12 -lot subdivision located north of County Road F-46 and south of Snyder Creek approximately 1.8 miles east of Scott Boulevard. Moen noted that the preliminary plat of Bell's Subdivision was approved as the July 14, 1987, City Council meeting and that the final plat gener- ally conforms with the design proposed in the preliminary plat. Moen stated the changes: the name of the subdivision has been changed to C.R. Bell's Subdivision -in order to distinguish it from another subdivision with the same name; the number of access drives directly from the county road has been reduced; access to Lot 1 has been incorporated with the access road to Lots 2 through 4, and this drive was not located within the west 100 feet of the frontage of Lot 1; there has been an addition of a 10 -foot utility easement for the subdivision and addition of a 20 -foot stormwater easement across the first five lots in order to restrict de- velopment in that area so that there is proper drainage toward the storm - water management basin; and a note has been added to restrict the location of any septic drainage fields within the stormwater management basin area. Moen noted that legal papers have been submitted but are still waiting for final approval by the City. Clark moved to approve S-8715 subject to approval of final legal papers. Cooper seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. /OR I5a% Planning 8 Zoning Commission August 6, 1987 Page 3 yes, but noted that in the City, a property is usually not rezoned until the property has sufficient infrastructure available to allow its devel- opment. Franklin also noted that the staff would not recommend approval with only one means of access to the entire property. Gar Ha mond, 330 E. Court, the attorney representing Rapid Creek Farms Partners ip, hr, aymond urged the Commission to consider recommending to the County rezoning of the entire tract. Mr. Raymond noted that even though the south would be without access, it will retain its agricultural use and have no impact on the use of the northern tract. Mr. Raymond stated that the developer wishes to look at the entire tract as a homogehomoge- nthis eous development and not as a staged development. He wants to present notedthatsubmitted endeveloopm development plan with 38 otsron the northisnot a permanent one and if the south side is available, the development Of lots will shift to the south side also. He added that if only the north side could be developed, it may cause the developer to use a con- figuration that would not be the optimum one that could be used if both tracts were rezoned. He noted that the developer does not believe rezon- ing both will have any adverse effects and again asked the Commission to rezone both. Scott stated that the Commission's intention is to defer the item:'until the County adopts the Area 4 revised policy and an amendment to the County zoning ordinance. Wallace asked for clarification concerning access to the south tract in terms of a bridge across the creek and/or access onto Highway 1. Franklin replied that a bridge between the two portions of the tract would not be sufficient. With a tract of this development would be required. size, more than one access to the Horowitz asked Mr. Schnittjer, 465 Highway 1 West, if the whole tract was rezoned, would some of the 38 lots be shifted to the south so as to make a total of 47 lots on both portions. Mr. Schnittjer replied yes and explaiin size since" the ned that the developer does not anticipate any lots being three acres to minimize lot spacewhileaximizingiopennspace. Scottvques ment- tioned Mr. Schnittjer if it was not in fact the intention of the developer to have the maximum 47 lots on the 141 acres. Mr. Schnittjer replied yes, and that with the three acre minimum requirement, 47 lots would be the most the development could support. o Horowitz moved to defer the item until August 2o, 1987. Wallace seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. 2. Discussion of an amendment to Section 36-23(c) of the Zoning Ordinance to modify the provisional uses allowed in the CI -1, Intensive Commercial zone. Franklin reported that the current modified proposal is in response to the discussion the Commission had at the last two meetings. The proposal is an ordinance amendment which would permit light manufacturing in the MEA Planning & Zoning Commission August 6, 1987 Page 5 Scott noted that the Commission is about evenly split between wanting tc permit light manufacturing in the CI -1 zone if the negative effects on residential property can be ameliorated and not permitting any manufac. turing in a CI -1 zone at all. Because of this lack of concensus on the part of the Commission, Scott suggested that staff address the issue of how to minimize the negative impacts of manufacturing upon residential property for the next meeting. Franklin replied that staff can address those problems, but would like a vote at that time. The Chair concurred. Wallace suggested that the list could be a compilation of uses prohibited in the zone rather than a list of uses that would be allowed. Clark suggested that such a list could consist of uses which would produce or create effects the Commission does not want to occur in the CI -1 zone. Franklin replied that the purpose of the performance standards is to address those issues as they impact zones. She noted that there is a separate list of standards within the performance regulations for commer- cial and industrial uses. She asked the members to review those stan- dards. Clark asked Mr. Muston if when dealing with prospective businesses, the performance standards would be sufficient. Mr. Muston replied that any *response he can offer businesses in a timely fashion would be very;help- ful. Franklin noted that she has copies of other cities, ordinances for this topic which may be .of some assistance. Cooper expressed his con- cerns about increased traffic and noise arising from manufacturing uses in the present CI -1 zone. Franklin replied that performance standards should control these problems. Scott stated that once a use is intro- duced into an area, it is difficult to control its size because a busi- ness may wish to expand rather than move. He added that allowing light manufacturing in the CI -1 zone would change the essence of the zone. Cooper moved to defer the discussion to August 20. 1987. when staff will have drawn up documents addressing negative impacts on abutting residen. tial zones. Wallace seconded the mously. motion. The motion carried unani- PLANNING d ZONING COMMISSION INFORMATION: Scott stated that the Commission has reviewed a draft copy of the Iowa City/Coralville Annexation Agreement and has concurred with staff and Iowa ac- knowledges that it has been forwarded to Council. Scott asked Commission members to bring ideas to the next meeting concerning Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding. .o Scott stated that he assumed all board and commission members have received information concerning local option sales tax. If the members have any r' questions, they should contact the City Manager. r 10?5A Planning & Zoning Commission August 6, 1987 Page 6 Franklin asked that the joint meeting of the Commission with the Historic Preservation Commission be moved to September 23, 1987, to discuss the North Side Historic District issue. This action is necessitated because it con- flicts with the "New Member Meeting" sponsored by the City Manager's office for September 9, 1987. The Commission concurred.

MINUTESBOARD OF ADJUSTMENTWEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1987 - 4:30 PM CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS MEMBERS PRESENT: Mask, Messier, Randall MEMBERS ABSENT: Fisher, Winegarden STAFF PRESENT: Hartwell, Moen GUESTS PRESENT: John Cruise, I.C. Law Building Partnership CONSIDERATION OF THE MINUTES OF JULY 8, 1987: Consideration of the minutes of July 8, 1987, was deferred until the September 9, 1987 meeting. SPECIAL EXCEPTION ITEMS: 1. SE -8708. Discussion of an application submitted by I.C. Law Building Partnership for special exceptions to modify the front yard require- ment and to reduce the number of parking spaces for property located at 920 S. Dubuque Street. The I.C.. Law Building Partnership requests special exceptions to extend the front porch canopy 6 feet into the required front yard area and to reduce the number of required off street parking spates. Moen presented the staff report. She stated that the I.C. Law Build- ing Partnership has acquired two urban renewal parcels located at 920 S. Dubuque Street and the vacated portion of an alley and propose to construct an office building that will front on Dubuque Street. One eight vehicle parking area will be accessible from Dubuque Street; the second parking area is accessed via Benton Street. Moen said that two of the three uses directly to the north of the proposed building have front yard setbacks less than the required 20 feet. The property located immediately north of the subject property has a frontage of 17'6" and the building located at 912 S. Dubuque Street has a frontage of 11'6". The building on the corner of Dubuque and Benton streets is set back 20 feet along both frontages. Section 36-69(a) allows a front yard reduction of up to 5 feet in instances where at least 50% of the lots along the frontage are occu- r pied by buildings that are more than 5 feet closer to the street than the required frontage. Since only one of the three existing buildings along South Dubuque Street is set back less than 15 feet from the front property line, the provisions of Section 36-69(a) do not apply in this case. A 20 foot front yard setback must be provided unless a special exception to modify the front yard is granted. Moen stated the Board may reduce the setback requirement in cases in which unique circumstances warrant a modification. The Board must be assured that the public interest is not compromised and that special .o. Board of Adjustment August 12, 1987 Page 3 Cruise stated the proposed building will contain eight law offices and that each office will be occupied by one lawyer. Approximately one support staff member can be expected per lawyer. At full occupancy with one client per lawyer, only 24 parking spaces are required. Cruise said that actual parking demands were lower since only 10% to 25% of the lawyer's time is spent with clients. Cruise said he con- tacted an architect who failed to find recommended parking require- ments for law offices. He said the architect agreed that lawyers had different parking demands than other businesses. Cruise also said that the Phelan law firm employs 14 lawyers and provides a 36 space parking lot which is always half empty. Cruise said his firm would provide for a much larger lawyer/parking ratio. Randall agreed that the porch would enhance the neighborhood's attrac- tiveness. He believed that visibility would not be hindered with the porch addition. The design restrictions due to the sewer system, Randall said, could be interpreted as a unique characteristic. Messier agredMessierwaddedathatlthedporch ading nstructurey uildingshould notwould onlyben classified aasaa roof. Mask asked if the front porch area could be reduced. Cruise stated that it is only 6 feet deep and reducing it further would diminish the purpose of the structure. Mask asked if the property to the north was for sale. Cruise replied that it was, and that he was interested in purchasing it but land prices have already increased since his firm purchased the 920 S. Dubuque Street property. Randall asked if the 20 foot setback for residential zones was the same type found in commercial zones. Moen said that a 20 foot front yard setback applied to this zone as well as to residential zones. Mask said commercial businesses were more mobile than residential property owners and, therefore, the zoning regulations should be less restrictive for commercial zones. Mask stated the building directly to the north was the only residential building in the subject neighborhood; all other property was either commercial or owned by the City. Randall noted that therequest for front yard reductions were primar- ily filed for residential property. Randall stated that there were two main ack mout. Mask notedcothatetheioneighborhood Dinood questionowasn note lb kelya to nbe disrupted if the special exception was granted. Messier stated that in the past, the Board had offered to reduce the frontage requirement six feet in a case where the applicant had asked for a ten foot reduc- tion to accommodate a porch. Messier moved toapprove SE -8708 to reduce the front yard requirement from 20 feet to 14 feet for the specific purpose of allowing the projection of the porch in the front yard as identified on the site plan stamped July 22, 1987 for property located at 920 S. Dubuque Street. Mask seconded the motion. The special exception passed unanimously by a 3-0 vote. /4? S3 .V' Board of Adjustment August 12, 1987 Page 5 2. SE -8703. Discussion of a request submitted by Trinity Christian Reformed Church to extend the expiration date of the order rendered by the Board on March 12, 1987, on an application for special exceptions to expand a religious institution in an RS -5 zone and to reduce the front yard requirement from 34 feet to 20 feet for property located at 2908 Raven Street. Randall stated that the Trinity Christian Reformed Church had requested a six month extension. Moen said staff had no objections to this extension. Mask asked if this was their first request for an extension. Randall replied that it was. Moen said that the extension would expire on March 12, 1988, if the request was approved.

Randall asked if the subject had requested a specific expiration date. Moen replied that they had not, and the Board had the prerogative to extend the expiration date up to one year. However, extensions are generally made for six months. Messier moved to approve the request by Master Muffler Shops to extend the expiration date of the order rendered by the Board on February 11, 1987, an an application for a special exception to expand an auto and truck oriented use in a CC -2 zone for property located at 510 S.

MIINUTES/PUBLIC DISCUSSION/MINUTE : Kattchee called the meeting to order at 3:05 p.m. Iva Hilleman, new representative to the Senior Center Commission from the Council of Elders, introduced herself. Debby Gluba and Vicki Levy introduced themselves. Dorfman requested a clarification in the minutes Of June 15; 1987, as follows: Pape 4, Paragraph 6 EVALUATION COMMITTEE REPORT should read. Dorfman declined for the present and said she felt it was premature as she did not know what was requested b the City Manager, but as a matter of principle, evaluations are by their very nature formal, and as such should be written with a minority report included if needed for dissenting voices. Coen moved and Dorfman seconded acceptance of the minutes with the changes as proposed by Dorfman. Motion carried, all ayes. There was no public discussion. COUNCIL OF ELDERSREPORT: i Iva Hilleman reported that the Council of Elders had elected officers for the coming year. They are: June Pieper, Chairperson; Rosemary Spears, Vice -Chairperson; Charles Wagner, Treasurer; Rowena Harvey, Recording Secretary; and Iva Hilleman, Corresponding Secretary. Hilleman said that the Council of Elders had a new committee which would begin work shortly. She said the balance of the meeting was spent discussing the pros and cons of sponsoring senior Center commission July 20, 1987 Page 2 a booth at the county fair. She said that the Council had not been satisfied with the location of their booth last year and felt that it would be better to not have one unless they could secure a better booth site. Their location by the entrance last year was not conducive to people stopping to visit, thus their purpose of reaching rural elderly and spreading information about the opportunities at the senior Center was not accomplished. The Commission members gave several suggestions on ways that might be used to accomplish the purpose of outreach at the fair. Kattchee suggested handouts without a booth and Hall suggested a cold drink for seniors might encourage them to stop and visit. Hilleman said she would take the suggestions back to the Council for discussion. 4 SENIOR CENTER UPDATE: Meisel told the Commission about the problems with the Senior Center roof in the area over the Assembly Room which has caused the ceiling tiles and stucco above the tiles to fall down. At the present time, a construction company is taking all of the debris down from the ceiling in preparation for a new roof over that area of the Center. This area has been a problem for several years, causing falling tiles, etc. After much patchwork and unsatisfactory repair work, more permanent measures are being taken. Meisel said that she was having a. meeting with the roofer, City Engineer, an architect from the firm which did the original remodeling work on the Center, and an attorney from the City Legal Department. Meisel said she would report back to the Commission next month on the progress made. Meisel said the pool players had met and decided to sell the billiard table and buy another pool table. They can purchase one at a wholesale price, and they plan to use the money received from the sale of the table and money that they raise to pay for the new one. Golden K Kiwanis have promised them start$200 as a this should be commended for workingout thetheir problem within the "system." Meisel asked the Commission to approve the purchase of an o additional audio-visual cart. She explained that the Center needed one to hold the television and VCR upstairs, and one for using the movie and slide projectors. She said Pratt had quoted $90 for one like the one the Center has, and $130 for a larger adjustable cart which would be suitable for the TV and VCR. Hall moved that the large cart be purchased from the Gift Fund. Wagner seconded. Motion carried, all ayes. • .o• d Senior Center Commission July 20, 1967 page ] - noisel said smoking rules are now regulated according to state law. Instead of making non-smoking areas, designated smoking areas will be marked as such. Meisel said the state had a new gift policy which prohibits state employees from taking gifts exceeding $15 per day. without reporting it. She said the City policy remains the some. City employees may accept inexpensive gifts such as "treats* which can be eaten immediately or gifts which anyone might receive, for example, pens, calendars, etc. Maisel asked the Commission to grant permission to incorporate a different sign -in procedure into the Garden Goodness Market rules. Meisel said 30-40 elderly citizens have not been signing in as they come over from Ecumenical Towers via the door in the rear of the Assembly Room. The system newly devised would give each person signing in a purple chip which they turn in to the Garden Goodness Market volunteers. Participants would then be able to ,go through the line for produce and bread. If a participant did not have a purple chip, he or she would need to go to the Rost/Guide desk and sign in where they would be given one. Meisel said every week between $500-600 worth of produce and bread is given way. Maisel said she had asked Susan Blanchard of plants Alive to buy two plants for the Center. These would replace original plants which have died. These would cost under $100 and would be from the gift fund. Maisel .•ezplained the tentative plans for the sixth anniversary birthday celebration. She said arrangements had been mads with the- Iowa Arts Council at a cost of $50 to bring a sculgtmre display of 11 birthday cakes to the Center for exhibit in September. Maisel said she had been approached by someone who sells ads for information machines like the ones found in Jack's and Econofoods. She said that she told him if someone sponsored a section on services for senior citizens, we might be interested in having.such a machine in the Senior Center. Maisel informed the Commission that she and Lori Benz had been working with Rathy Wallace from Lutheran Social Service on the poor counseling grant. The training sessions would be at the Senior Center for those who are accepted into the training program. Meisel said it was a one year grant only, but LSS strongly believes that they can obtain it for a second year. In response to a question from Goss asking why /07 Sf o• Y Senior Canter Commission July 20, 1957 pap 5 — 1Cattchee appointed Mall, Hood, Dorfman and sock to serve on such a committee and they agreed to serve. Aattchee reminded the other Commissioners that they would have an opportunity to serve on other committees for the sixth anniversary party. Meisel said she saw this panel/workshop as a way the Commission could provide a gift of their expertise to the community and she felt there was a.real need for a program of this type. Hall agreed to the need based on the number of inquiries she receives on the subject. Mood expressed her feeling that the subject should be considered for a series of programs at a later date, and this would just be the tip of the iceberg. Meisel touched briefly on the rest of the suggestions, 1,4. Council of Elders sponsoring one evening activity a month, a survey sent to rural elderly to find out what would bring them to the .Center 'and asking the county to pay for the sailing of the survey. Staff also thought a pre-ratirement seminar, including a learning fair of Senior Center opportunities and ongoing counseling, was a good idea to consider for future planning. I In Now r, if a student were available to coordinate the activity, Meisel said another quilt raffle would be held. A Soup and Broad Cookbook in December followed by a soup and bread luncheon in January and February was another idea that staff had had. In addition, the staff had considered falling advertising in the Senior Center Z= to raise funds toward the second half of the volunteer specialist position. SENIOR CENTER COMMISSION AMAT, RFRpjT. Meisel explained that the Commission needed to have their annual report to the City Manager's office by August a, 1957. she passed around the revisions made to the yearly report. Meisel had updated the statistical information in the AccgnlishmontB section. Hall moved and Coss seconded the motion to approve the annual report as developed by the Senior Center Commission. Motion carried, all ayes. .P' smier center Commission July 20, 1947 page s — Rattchee appointed the following committee to work on the five year plan. They are: Ruth Wagner, Chairperson; Fred Goss; Dorothy Whipple; Jack Sock. Maisel said that there was not enough time left to discuss the memo "Goals of a Visionary Nature" and that these could wait until the August meeting. She said she learned at the National Council on Aging Convention that across the country attendance at Congregate Meals is -down. Most senior centers attribute this decline to the fact that older people are more conscious of healthy eating and are eating lighter, less traditional meals. She said there is a trend beginning to serve an additional non -federally funded meal such as soup and a sandwich at 4 PM. She said the challenge for Congregate Meals is going to be to make the changes necessary to attract the changing elderly population. Hood said she would be unable to attend the August meeting., The Resting adjourned at 5:10 p.m. Prepared by Joyce Phelps, s.C. secretary Approved by RuthMagner, Senior Center Commission Secretary .o• O MINUTES COMMITTEE ON COMMUNITY NEEDS AUGUST 18, 1987 - 3:30 P.M.

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL: CCN recommends that the City Council allocate the $69,000.00 from the sale of parcels A2 and A3 in the Lower Ralston Creek Redevelopment area as follows: $25,000.00 grant to the Handicare Pocket Park Project; $26,000.00 to the Crisis Center/Food Bank in the divided form of a $13,000.00 grant and a $13,000.00 no interest loan; the remaining $18,000.00 to be carried over to the 1988 program year. CALL TO ORDER AND APPROVAL OF MINUTES: Kubby called the meeting to order at 3:36. Ruff moved to approve the minutes of the June 16, 1987, meeting. Kuhn seconded the motion. Patrick noted that on page one under PUBLIC/MEMBER DISCUSSION, it should be added that she "strenuously objected to raising property tax." The minutes were unanimously approved as corrected. PUBLIC/MEMBER DISCUSSION: Kubby requested an update from staff on the status of Youth Homes. Nugent responded that the- current owner of 19 Evans Street did not renew the contract and put the property up for sale. She added that Youth Homes is looking for another site. Rawland inquired as to the outcome of the Board of Adjustment decision. Nugent responded that the neighborhood has appealed the Board of Adjustment's decision to grant a special exception to Youth Homes for locating their group home at 19 Evans Street. The court date is set for October. Work is moving along at 504 Ronalds. ECOMMENDATION ON USE OF $69,000.00 FROM SALE OF PARCELS A2 AND A3: Handicare Pocket Park: Rockwell stated that $25,000.00 was needed to repay the parkland acquisition fund loan by December 1988 for the construction of the park. She also noted that Handicare had obtained donations amounting to $35,000.00 for the development and construction of the park. Rockwell also stated that separate from COBG funding, Handicare has repaid a substantial amount of their /ass Committee on Community Needs August 18, 1987 Page 3 Kubby stated CCN's options were to grant Crisis Center the full $36,600.00 or to split the amount between a grant and a loan. Leshtz was concerned that a large amount of money had gone to the Crisis Center already. Kauppi replied that the $46,600.00 was needed to meet codes and allow occupancy and functioning. He said the $60,000.00 would cover everything else, such as floor covering, drapes and exterior painting. Leshtz stated that $156,000.00 of Block Grant funds have already been awarded to the Crisis Center and felt CCN needed to be fair about the distribution of funds among low to moderate income people to make sure services aren't compromised. Patrick agreed and asked if part of the $69,000.00 from the land sale should be kept in reserve in case other agencies need money. Kuhn replied if CCN didn't spend it now, someone else would ask for it. i Kubby asked if CCN wanted to loan or grant the Crisis Center $36,655.00. McCoy replied that he didn't feel comfortable granting the money. Ruff asked if the services of the Crisis Center would be compromised by getting a loan and accepting a partial grant. Kauppi replied that they had not budgeted for a loan and would have to take the money from various areas of their services. Kubby asked for a specific proposal. Leshtz stated that he would move, with reservations, that the $69,000.00 from the sale of the redevelopment parcels be used as follows: $25,000.00 grant to Handicare; $13,000.00 grant to Crisis Center; $13,000.00 loan to Crisis Center; and $18,000.00 to be carried over into FY88. Patrick seconded. Discussion followed. i Cooper asked if the Crisis Center received any funding for their services. Kauppi stated they received mainly food and money for services. Kubby asked if the loan should be low-interest or no -interest. Nugent replied that loans are usually low-interest of 3% or no - interest. Kubby asked how long the Crisis Center would have to repay the bank $26,000.00. Kauppi stated three years. Nugent stated that the repayment period to the CDBG Program is usually 5-7 years. Kubby asked if anyone was uncomfortable with this amount and wanted .o• to encourage people to vote it down in favor of other arrangements. Patrick and Cooper voiced approval of the motion on the floor. Kubby stated that this meant CCN would be giving the Crisis Center money /07S.7 .o• W Committee on Community Needs August 18, 1987 Page 5 QUARTERLY REPORTS FOR 1986 PROJECTS: Naooleon Park Pro.iect (Final) - Leshtz reported that the project is complete and he will be filling out a final evaluation.

Community Mental Health Center - Snider reported that the project was $22,000.00 over budget. She stated the County assumed the extra expense. She also noted that the project was to be completed in June 1987, but was not. Currently they are painting and building a new entry on the outside. Nugent added that the painting was completed and the deck was almost done. Handicare Expansion - Cooper passed further discussion of Handicare. Crisis Center/Food Bank - Kuhn passed further discussion of Crisis Center. ' Shared Housing Program (Final) - Patrick reported that 32 cases had a service exchange and 9 were strictly rental. She stated the average age of the home owner was 80 years and that 34 females, 5 males and 2 couples participated in the program. The average length of stay is seven months. She stated that the homeowners would have saved extra expenses if they would have paid for whatever services rendered. Emergency Housing Project (Final) - Cooper reported that the project was $10,000.00 . She also stated that the landscaping of the yard following the sewer repairs was completed. OTHER BUSINESS: Nugent reported that publicity for the Public Hearings would be available during the beginning of September. She asked that Committee members circulate the information in their respective neighborhoods. Nugent asked if CCN would like to have the Public Hearings televised. The Committee unanimously declined to be televised. Rockwell noted that the process of monitoring is becoming fragmented and asked if the Committee members would like to be more involved in decision making. She stated that their names could be added to their respective project files and they could receive all memos and mailings for the project. This would provide the opportunity for the Committee to be involved throughout the process. The Committee unanimously agreed. /64Sa Committee on Community Needs August 18, 1987 Page 6 ADJOURNMENT: Becker moved that the meeting be adjourned. The meeting was adjourned at 5:00, by acclamation.
