or Center
The City Council met with the Planning and Zoning Commission to discuss
the proposed ordinance to amend the provisions of the CI -1 zone to allow
small scale industries and similar uses as provisional uses within the
CI -1 zone. Franklin distributed a map outlining the CI -1 zone, a diagram
comparing 10,000 square foot and 5,000 square foot buildings on typical
lots in the CI -1 zone, and a list of businesses and their respective
building sizes that currently exist in Iowa City and Coralville. Ambrisco
stated the City Council felt the 5,000 square foot limitation was too
restrictive. Scott stated the Planning and Zoning Commission discussed
whether or not industrial uses should be mixed with commercial uses; an
inclusive listing of permitted uses; and the impact on the CI -1 zoned
areas. Wallace stated the Planning and Zoning Comnission discussed limit-
ing the size of the building to minimize the impact on abutting residen-
tial zones. Cooper commented that a larger building size would create
additional traffic problems. Dierks said a 5,000 square foot building

Clark stated the proposed change is a feeble attempt to revitalize the
Highland Court/Gilbert Street area and additional access and egress is
needed in the area. Clark said the proposed change would not be needed if
street changes were made to allow additional access to the area. Scott
reported that Ray Muston has stated that regardless of zoning in the
Highland Court area, businesses did not pursue locating in the area be-
cause of the price. Scott suggested that a new zone classification could
be developed if there was a need for an area for smaller industrial uses.

Franklin suggested that the 5,000 square foot limitation be attributable
just to manufacturing portions of a particular business entity and to use
the special exception process for larger sized businesses.
Courtney stated it is difficult to consider the proposed change to the
CI -1 zone without knowing if Boyrum Street will be extended into the
Highland Court area. Horowitz and Wallace disagreed. Dierks stated the
entire CI -1 zone should be considered. Franklin noted that any of the
uses located in the CI -1 zone have to comply with the existing performance
standards.
McDonald stated there should be some flexibility to allow for the promo-
tion of economic development. Horowitz asked Council members for response
regarding an inclusive list. Ambrisco stated he is opposed to including
an inclusive list. Horowitz said the intent of a section in an ordinance
guides a permitted use. Franklin said that if a use is not included in
the list of permitted uses and there is any ambiguity of the use, the
City's interpretation panel usually takes a conservative approach when
considering that use and advocate a change in the list of permitted use to
specifically include the use in questsion.
Council and the Commission agreed there should be a 5,000 square foot
maximum for an entire business entity, a special exception for businesses
between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet and businesses exceeding the 10,000
square feet not be allowed.

THE PRELIMINARY PLA
ana coning commission recommended in favor of the resolution approving
the preliminary plat of Rochester Place. Beagle noted that staff
wanted one of the lots fronting First Avenue incorporated within the
subdivision, whereas the Planning and Zoning Commission felt incorpo-
ration of that lot within the subdivision may be difficult because of
the stormwater management configuration. Courtney inquired about the
specific plans for the stormwater management, the lot fronting on
First Avenue, and provisions for sidewalks. Franklin presented over-
head projections of the subdivision plat showing the locations of the
stormwater management basin, the street serving the subdivision, and
the single-family lots. Franklin explained there are drainage ease-
ments along the backs of the lots which feed into beehive inlets,
allowing the water to flow into open swales into the stormwater man-
agement basin. In response to Courtney, Franklin said the individual
property owners will be responsible for maintenance of beehives and
drainage swales; of the whole system works, the stormwater flow for
the area will not be greater than it is now and could be less; and if
water builds up in the drainage swales it may go into adjacent proper-
ties within the subdivision or spill over to adjacent properties
outside the subdivision. Franklin stated the City Engineer will be
present at Tuesday's formal Council meeting.
Franklin said staff does not know how the lot fronting First Avenue,
Lot 22, will be developed. Courtney raised concerns about the devel-
opment of Lot 22's impact on the Bel Air Subdivision.
Franklin presented overhead projection of the subdivision plat showing
the location of area schools in relationship to the proposed subdivi-
sion and the proposed sidewalk. In response to McDonald, Franklin
stated the proposed sidewalk is 600 feet long and would be maintained
by abutting property owners. Councilmembers and staff discussed
maintenance of the sidewalk. In response to Courtney, Atkins said a
sketch plan of the stormwater management area has been prepared and a
budget estimate for the project is one-half million dollars. Timmins
addressed the issue of sidewalk maintenance and the stormwater manage-
ment basin. Timmins explained that with the stormwater management
basin, the City currently requires the developer to undertake, by
covenant with regard to a specific lot, the maintenance of the storm -
water management basin and the same technique could be used for the
maintenance of the sidewalk. Franklin explained there have been
problems associated with the Homeowners Association being responsible

for maintenance of the stormwater management basin because of changes
in ownership. Franklin stated Lot 22 by its proximity would be the
most reasonable lot to have responsibility for the stormwater manage-
ment basin. Franklin pointed out that a note was included on the
preliminary plat requiring there be a Homeowners Association, address-
ing the stormwater management, and allowing the Homeowners Association
to make final decision regarding the sidewalk. Staff is recommending
that note not be included on the preliminary plat. Atkins stated that
in other communities, developers were charged $100 per tot and the
money was deposited in an interest-bearing account and that interest
was used to pay for costs associated with the sidewalk maintenance.
Timmins noted the City also retains the ability under Iowa law to
assess the cost of clearing a sidewalk against the abutting property
owner. Councilmembers directed staff to further explore Atkins'
suggestion that the developer be charged a per lot amount to provide a
means for maintenance of the proposed sidewalk.

the resolution stating that the extension of Boyrum Street is the best
possible alternative to the traffic and access problems to the area.
Franklin said that if Council disagrees with that paragraph, Council

interested persons in the area that this item will be considered at
Tuesday's formal Council meeting. Dean Thornberry said he is avail-
able for questions regarding proposed development in the area. In
response to a question from the public, Ambrisco said the traffic

NEWSPAPER VENDING MACHINES: Reel 87-C42, Side 2
Cain stated Councilmembers received Design Review Committee chairperson
Welt's September 28, 1987, memo regarding banks of newspaper dispensers
for Iowa City Central Business District; Boyle's June 26, 1987, memo
regarding regulation of newspaper racks on public property; and the draft
ordinance. Cain stated the Design Review Committee (DRC) has worked for a
long time to have modular units in the City Plaza that would contain
several newspaper vending machines. Cain reported the City ordinance
states the city will prove modular units within the plaza. Cain stated
that in 1985 the DRC recommended that newspaper vending within the CBD
area be confined to clusters of newsracks in modular units and the loca-
tions would be selected in consultation with newspaper distributors. Cain
noted the recommendations are not intended to prohibit newspaper vending
in the downtown area, but to provide for it in an orderly manner.
Ambrisco stated newspaper distributors need to cooperate and demonstrate
that they are sincere in wanting to maintain the atmosphere and ambiance
of the Central Business District and downtown plaza. Councilmembers and
staff discussed placement and design of the modular units. Councilmembers
agreed an ordinance taking into consideration the DRC's recommendation
should be established to allow use of public property for newsracks.
JOINT HUMAN SERVICE AGENCIES FACILITIES: Reel 87-C42, Side 2
McDonald reported City Council and County Board of Supervisor representa-

McDonald stated the former Regina Elementary building (across from St.

consolidation of human service agencies may create a cost savings and more
efficient delivery of services. Councilmembers directed staff to continue
to pursue the concept of a joint human service agency facility. Atkins
