DEPARTMENT Dear Mrs. Nowysz and members of the Historic Preservation Commission, We wanted to voice our endorsement of the North Side proposal. While we can not attend the meeting for a variety of reasons, our thoughts are with you. We were glad to hear that at your first meeting thirty North Side residents supported the proposal and only three people spoke against it. Please count our voices with those who spoke in favor of the plan. We support this proposal and hope your Commission is successful in confirming the North Side as a Historic District.

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: North Side Residential Historic District Dear Monica: I am sorry but my schedule will not permit my presence at the second public hearing to be held on Wednesday, April 23, 1986, on the matter of comments on the proposal to designate the North Side residential area a local historic district. I also doubt whether any of my associates on the Corporation Board of the Sigma Chi Fraternity will be able to attend. Despite our absence, I think Mr. Pete Vanderhoef and I made the position of our Board quite clear at the first public hearing on this issue. Our position zinc the. same, to wit: That the Sigma Chi properties of 629 and 703 N. Dubuque St. should NOT be included within the proposed historic district's boundaries. We again would request that our property be excluded from the district's boundaries. I will continue to keep you advised of my efforts to discover whether any fraternities or sororities on other campuses have ever faced a similar sit- uation as the one which we now find ourselves in. if you have questions please feel free to call.

Washington Street Iowa City, IA 52240 Re: Proposed North Side Residential Historic District Dear Iowa City Historic Preservation Commission Members: We own an apartment house located at 328 N. Dubuque Street which is within the proposed North Side Residential Historic District. We believe the house has historical and architec- tural significance, at least partially due to the turret on the northwest corner of the building. However, we are opposed to the proposed North Side Residential Historic District overlay zone. We are opposed to the ordinance for the following reasons: 1. The time and money required to implement the program would be tremendous. 2. The building department is already overworked. 3. The Council has enough to do without listening to appeals. 4. A property owner should be free to make exterior al- terations in a building without City approval provid- ing the Building Code is .complied with. 5, in many cases it is very expensive for a property owner to historically preserve his or her building. The end result may be that the buildings are allowed to deteriorate rather than spend huge sums of money in order to comply with historic preservation. ,S7 0 Page -2- April 23, 1966 6.

The City does not need more rules and regulations. 2. Historic preservation is not practical in many sit- uations. The cost of preserving many buildings is simply prohibitive to the landowner. 3. The historic overlay zone would also be costly to the taxpayer. Whenever you have rules and regulations to enforce it is necessary to have a City staff to ad- minister and enforce the rules. 4. The Council is busy enough without hearing appeals relating to the historic overlay zone. 5. The building department is also overworked without being involved with a historic overlay zone which covers a large section of Iowa City. 6.

CAB/dc cc: Earl M. Yoder 04/2-01-197 as part of the public hearing the negative ramifications of Very truly yours, ChCO-W a. bakkJA/'X Charles A. Barker ^ 7` D I J To Whom It tday Concern: This letter is a follow-up to my appearance at your last community meeting. I am opposed to this proposal. I feel this way for several reasons. One,.no one has been able to provide me with a concise answer as to why the boundary lines for this district are as they are on the proposal. I do not feel that any one has any business doing this map if they are not a member of this community ( and a member who plans on remaining so for some time into the future). Iowa City has already suffered enough from the self-serving opinions of those who have served on various boards, commissions and councils who are no longer any where to be found in our city today. This area seems to be rather indiscriminately drawn up. To only take ? of the block of Linn' Street between Davenport and Bloomington, to take 41( of the east side of Johnson between Ronalds and Church Sts, to Lake only 3- of the west side of Dodge St north of Brown St or:to take all but the southeast corner of the intersection of Church and Gilbert Sts are but just a few illustrations of the lack of continuity of this plan. Two, there are already too many regulations from too many quasi-goverernmental organi7.n tions now. We do not need more. I should have the right to do with my property as I see fit, as long as I keen it safe as per present regulations. I do not even want the thought of facing another committee when 1 went to do something to my property. Three, we live in an ever changing environment. Progress is what this country is all about. Styles of construction change with the times, and if I prefer a style of building different from that of my neighbors, that is my business. I own the land!!! If any individual feels that their property should be preserved on a historical registry of some sort, fine, let them get is so listed. But do not include me with your wishes, I will take care of my own property. To repeat, for these reasons and many more, I am opposed to this proposal. Thank you for your time and consideration in reading this. Ypurg�tru o L � D Robert J. Saunders APR 10 1986 Owner: 320 Fairchild St MARIAN K.

Total interior area will be somewhat over 3000 sq. ft. I plan to start construction within the next two weeks with a completion date set for September. As an alternative Lo lucating Lhe Planning and Zoning offices in the old Elks Building, I am offering to the City of Iowa City, the space in my building. Advantages of my building - I -Parking on Site. My site will include a 21 space parking lot. Nine of those spaces could be reserved for staff parking or for visitors to the planning and zoning dept. 2. Handicap Accessibility. handicapped persons could find direct access to my building from the parking lot located at the rear of the building. 3. Location directly across from City Staff parking lot. Staff personnel would find much easier access to the City owned staff parking lot directly across Iowa Ave. 4. heating and Cooling. Each office area in my building will be equipped with individually controlled heating and cooling. 5. I feel that the office area in my building will be visually and asthetically superior upon completion of consLruction. Use of glass area inside as well as outside will permit an abundance of natural lighting to filter through the building. The first floor of my building will be totally above grade, not at a sub -grade level. These facLurs arc of course 'ingx:rtant to the staff people who spend most of their daylight hours at their workplace. 6. Cost. I am offering the space in my building for $10.00 per foot which is the equivalent of $2500 per month. Savings to the City of Iowa City would be $6300 annually. The savings over a 5 or 10 year lease would be substantial. 7. I would provide an option to purchase Lhe building in the lease agreement if the City would be interested in Such an agreement. Such an option might become beneficial and favorable to the City in the future as space needs become more evident.

Careful consideration should be given to the following items before reaching a decision on this project. 1. An adequate and safe general aviation airport is a significant factor in both industrial expansion and location decisions. The exciting potential for economic development in the Iowa City area would be influenced by less than adequate air service. 2. It is important to focus not on the actual number of pilots and/or businesses that rely on the airport, but the economic impact these significant industries have on the area economy and the number of people they employ. 3. If the Council decides to not bring the airport into compliance, the financial obligation that will be required of the citizens of this community to keep the airport operational would be unrealistic. According to the Airport Manager, it would require expenditures of $200,000 per year for six years to make the necessary runway rehabilitations to keep the airport operational and open. if we are in compliance, we would be eligible for $180,000 per year from FAA funding making the city obligation of $20,000 per year. The total city funding requirement over the six years with FAA funding would be $80,000 less than that required for just one year without FAA funding. 4. The Chamber understands that even if the airport is brought into compliance, FAA funding is not absolutely guaranteed. However, it is absolutely guaranteed there will be no funding if we remain out of compliance. Greater Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce P.O. Box 2356 Iowa City, Iowa 52244 (319) 337.9637 %0L -1 t- Mayor Ambrisco City Council Members - 2 - April 25, 1986 Dependable, safe and adequate general airport facilities are necessary, both for the successful operation of existing industries and the University, and for the future economic development of the area. If the Council feels a public debate on the future of the airport is necessary, this debate should take place after the airport is brought into compliance with PAA regulations. Compliance gives us the option to move on airport improvements if we choose. Compliance gives us the option to have federal funding help on the necessary maintenance of the existing facilities. Non-compliance makes both of these options difficult, if not impossible, in light of the realities of budget constraints. The Chamber is not calling for the expansion of airport facilities or the endorsement of any specifics of the Master Plan at this time. We are simply urging the Council to proceed on compliance so this community has the realistic financial option of proceeding if we choose. The Greater Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce commends the Council for facing the difficult decisions surrounding the airport. We are confident you will make the decision only after viewing the potential long-term consequences of that decision.

The Sheller -Globe, Iowa City Plant requires the services of the City airport to conduct our business. Over the last twelve months, we have chartered plant personnel from the Iowa City Airport to various destinations out -state, a total of 35 trips. In addition, to out -state charters, our plant has numerous visitors who visit our plant from other states frequently and require the use of the Iowa City Airport. Aside from visitors, the Sheller -Globe Iowa City Plant requires the services of the City airport to charter products from the plant to our automotive customers. Within the last year the plant has chartered 66 flights from Iowa City to destinations as far away as Linden, New Jersey, St. Thomas, Ontario, Canada and Newark, Delaware, in all twelve different cities, six states and two countries. These chartered flights amounted to a total of 48,964 pounds of finished automotive products. In summary, it is essential to Sheller -Globe that a local airport service be present to serve our business needs. JTD:jcv cc: K. Chaloupek D.
