McDonald recommended funding the position full-time but to revise the funding formula for the position in next year's budget.

In response to Baker Timmins said that the Resources Conservation Comnission was not sent e COPY of the proposed changes, but copies are on file at the City Clerk's office. Timmins noted that Sections 2 and 14 are the only changes since the draft copy was provided on June 16. Baker and Dickson stated that the RCC should have received copies of all drafts so they could consider proposed changes before the public hearing. Timmins suggested opening the public hearing as planned but continuing it to the July 15th regular Council meeting. Timmins noted that he didn't want to distribute copies of the ordinance until it was in its final form and negotiations were Complete. Baker responded that he is against hold- ing the public hearing until everyone including the RCC has a chance to prepare for it. Council agreed that the public hearing should be contin- ued until July 15. Baker suggested that a timetable should be set up to allow the ordinance to be placed on the ballot for the November General Election. Timmins confirmed that the Council, not the utility company, sets the date for the ballot. COUNCIL TIME: 1. Reel 86-054, Side _ Baker reported on the meeting of the Johnson County Council of Govern- ments JCCOG Animal Shelter Joint Committee with local communities and Coralville. He suggested that Iowa City staff and Council discuss the renovation of the Animal Shelter at the July 14 informal Council meeting, Baker said that there was a tentative drawing for the $90,000 project, but other Johnson County governments want a clarifi- cation on the cost before making a firm commitment. 2.

In response to McDonald's question about Kevin O'Malley's June 27, 1986, memo regarding purchase of property and liability insurance for FY87, Ambrisco explained that Gallagher Insurance Company from Chicago did not notify the City of changes in their plan proposal in time for the local insurance group to respond. Because the proposals are so different in their types of coverage, the risk management opted for the local insurance group. 6. Ambrisco reported that he travelled to New York City with Vitosh and Helling to meet with Moody's Bond Rating Firm. The City has main- tained its Triple "A" GO bond rating but has not yet heard the status of the City revenue bonds rating.

Beagle stated 16 parking spaces will be located on the fraternity property and 12 parking spaces located on the adjoining duplex property. Helling said there have been problems designing the parking area because the property owners have never provided a plot plan with correct dimensions. Helling stated that if the ordinance is not amended, the fraternity will have to provide the required number of parking spaces on the two properties or provide 24 parking spaces on the fraternity lot. Beagle said Sigma Tau Gamma Fraternity is now willing to consider utilizing both the fraternity lot and duplex lot. In response to McDonald, Franklin said the special exception granted to Willow Wind School by the Board of Adjustment was a similar situation. Baker sug- gested making ordinance revisions more general to include all natural features. Steve Grubbs, representing Sigma Tau Gamna Fraternity, presented a plan for parking at the fraternity. Beagle stated staff will review the park- ing plan prior to Tuesday's formal Council meeting and provide a response to Council. Grubbs stated he will present additional comments to Council at the formal meeting. Franklin stated one aspect of the ordinance, the reference to physical limitations, should be addressed because the language is too ambiguous for clear enforcement; Planning and Zoning's split vote (3-3) occurred because the revision was not comprehensive enough in dealing with physical limita- tions and natural features; and there could be problems with specificity when defining natural features. Courtney stated a maximum percentage of parking reduction should be included in the ordinance and the ordinance referred back to the Planning and Zoning Commission. NORTH DUBUQUE ROAD IMPROVEMENTS: Reel 86-055, Side 2 Helling stated Council received background information and minutes from preceding discussions regarding the North Dubuque Road improvements. Council discussed when the improvements should be done and agreed to proceed with the project as currently scheduled in the C1P. In response to Strait, Karr noted the improvements will cost an estimated $189,000. ANIMAL SHELTER STUDY COMMITTEE UPDATE: Reel 86-055, Side 2 Police Chief Miller said the JCCOG Animal Shelter Committee met three times to study the possibility of an area -wide animal shelter facility. Miller stated the JCCOG Animal Shelter Committee would like to continue that pursue that concept until October or November to determine if there is sufficient interest in a joint animal shelter facility by neighboring communities. Baker stated area communities do not want to make commit- ments to a joint facility until Iowa City has made a definite commitment. IrAA MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING JULY 14, 1986 PAGE 3 Baker said the issue concerning the county animal pickup policy also needs to be addressed. Baker asked if renovation of the animal shelter will require additional staff. Miller said he will ask in a subsequent year for additional staff whether they expand or not. Strait asked staff to study privatization of the animal shelter. Bev Horton gave background information about the privatization of Sioux City's animal shelter operations. McDonald asked about the fees charged to the county. Vitosh stated the fee was raised from E5 to $15 last November. Miller stated the City has not charged the County more for animal shelter use because the County has not been charging the City for housing city prisoners in the County jail until recently. Melody Rockwell stated conversations in meetings by JCCOG were based on the Council's approval of the $96,000 remodeling and garage addition to the animal shelter control as scheduled in the CIP. Ambrisco stated he favors a joint animal shelter facility. Melling stated that if an agree- ment is not reached by November for a joint facility, the City should proceed with their own project. Council agreed that the JCCOG Animal Shelter Committee should continue to pursue the concept of a joint animal facility as suggested by Police Chief Miller and report back to Council in November. SEWER REVENUE BOND COVENANTS: Reel 86-058, Side 1 Vitosh stated Moody's Bond Rating Service has inquired whether or not the City would be restricting the use Interof surplus revenues in the Sewer Revenue prise Fund. Vitosh said bond resolutions for previous Enterprise Fund bond issues have always read that any surplus monies may be used for any lawful purpose as designated by the City Council. Vitosh said the wording "surplus monies may be used for any lawful purpose" has been included in the Sewer Revenue bond resolution and two other partial re- strictions are being considered as outlined in her July 11th memo. Vitosh asked Council for the authorization to negotiate with Moody's and be able to add a partial restriction covenant if it becomes evident that such action is needed to obtain a Triple A rating on the bonds. Council agreed to give Vitosh that authorization to add partial restriction covenant to the sewer revenue bond resolution when negotiating with Moody's. Vitosh stated that she will present additional information to Council if Moody's asks for a more restrictive covenant than what has been discussed. Ambrisco asked what affect partial restrictions would have if the City decided to defease these bonds in the future, Vitosh said the bond reso- lution would become null and void if the bonds were defeased. COUNCIL AGENDA/TIME CONTINUED: Reel 86-058, Side 1 3. Courtney referred to Council agenda item number 24 regarding GO bonds. Vitosh stated language was omitted and revisions will be made prior to Council action. MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING JULY 14, 1986 PAGE 4 4.

Kammemmeyer also stated that the sidewalk concrete steps are deteriorating and the walkway onto Highway 6 is a safety hazard. Strait suggested that the City, University and Crandic meet to discuss the matter and consider an overpass.

Chris Trout, representative from Sigma Tau Gamna fraternity, stated the fraternity will present a complete site plan within two weeks. Baker stated City staff should not have to do the site plan work for the fraternity. Beagle stated the fraternity have been told to get an accurate survey of the property that identifies the location of the structures and has met with professional surveyors. Ambrisco stated Council will defer action on this item for two weeks. pIan is for single-family zero -lot 1 ne development. Franklin stated the developer did agree to provide an eight foot sidewalk along Mormon Trek Boulevard; one-half of the sidewalk costs will be paid for by the City; and the sidewalk will serve pedestrian and bicycle traffic. in response to Baker, Franklin explained the City always pays for part of the extra wide sidewalks because the wide sidewalks serve community- wide functions. T- 36 w1i MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL METING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 2 F. Resolution approving the preliminary and final Large Sca swcea cne ridnning ano toning Lomnission recommended approval of the plan with the stipulation that the plan complies with the Stormwater Management Ordinance. Beagle said the City Carton Company plans to expand their operation and construct a new office building and vehicle maintenance building on the west side of the CRANDIC railroad tracks. Beagle asked Council to consider staff's recommendation to provide a sidewalk on the south side of Benton Street across the frontage of the City Carton Company property. Beagle explained that construction of the new County Administration Building will create increased pedes- trian traffic and a minor revision to the LSNRD plan would be needed to provide for a sidewalk. Beagle stated the Benton Street bridge plan includes designs for a sidewalk along the south side of the bridge. In response to Baker, Beagle stated the City Carton Company would be required to pay for the sidewalk across their property. Bob Downer, representing City Carton Company, stated City Carton objects to installing a sidewalk on the south side of Benton Street across their property frontage because the location is not an appropriate place to encourage pedestrian traffic. Downer stated pedestrian traf- fic should not be encouraged because of City Carton's truck movement, the distance from the curb to the property line is only six to seven feet, City Carton would need to obtain consent from CRANDIC Railroad to place a sidewalk on the property leased from CRANDIC Railroad, and the traffic moves rapidly around the corner at the Benton Street and Clinton Street intersection. Downer stated that fewer safety risks would be created by pedestrians using the sidewalk on the north side of Benton Street. Beagle stated staff recommended provision of a sidewalk on the south side of Benton Street for public safety reasons. In response to Courtney, Beagle said the Benton Street bridge plans include sidewalks on both sides of the bridge. Baker asked for com- ments from the Planning and Zoning Commission. Tom Scott stated the Planning and Zoning Commission felt it was unsafe to put pedestrians into the Clinton Street/Benton Street intersection and near the con- siderable amount of semi truck traffic backing into City Carton's loading dock. Scott stated the Planning and Zoning Commission recom- mended that pedestrian traffic be discouraged at the new County Ad- ministration Building by deleting the sidewalk west of the north -south sidewalk that runs on the west side of the County Administration Building and by making the entrance off of Benton Street to the County Administration Building parking lot one-way eastbound. Scott stated the Commission felt mixing the pedestrian traffic with industrial uses was creating a safety hazard. Ambrisco said he was not in favor of sidewalk along the south side of Benton Street and noted the resolu- tion does not include the provision of the sidewalk. In response to Baker, Ambrisco said four Council votes are needed to pass the resolu- tion at the formal Council meeting. s- 3r T MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL 14EETING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 3 G. Ambrisco stated Council will defer action for two weeks. Baker asked Timmins to consider if a formal policy is needed to limit access onto Rochester. Franklin stated staff will address policy related to arterials and secondary arterials when revisions of the subdivision regulations are done. H.

Beagle stated that staff recommended that the right-of-way easement along Lower West Branch Road be dedicated to the City as public right-of-way and fall under the i City's ownership and maintenance. Beagle said it would not be detrimental to allow the street to remain in its current form and the street would be improved and paid for by assessment when the property immediately to the west is developed. In response to Ambrisco, Beagle said a 40 -foot setback would have to be maintained on the lot directly accessing Rochester Avenue. In sponse to re- Baker, Beagle stated the only principal means of access onto Lot 5 is Rochester Avenue and Lot Road. 6 is accessed from Lower West Branch >. Timmins asked Council to defer action on this item if Council is considering denial of the resolution. ci Strait suggested redesign of the plat. Franklin asked for the Coun- cil's position on the paving of Lower West Branch Road to City Stan- dards. Baker inquired about paving assessments. Franklin explained that there would be an assessment to property owners if the road is paved later. Franklin said that if %' oer the road is paved now, the devel- tool for on -half of the and propertyeowner ea ment he on the south side dwproperty aon asses- the intersection. wners sat Marion Neely, representing Mr. Hodge and Mr. Oakes, stated that the Council cannot require a limitation on access onto Rochester because it is not specifically required by ordinance. Ambrisco stated Council will defer action for two weeks. Baker asked Timmins to consider if a formal policy is needed to limit access onto Rochester. Franklin stated staff will address policy related to arterials and secondary arterials when revisions of the subdivision regulations are done. H.

Moen explained that the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission previously denied a request to rezone three acres of the 45 acre tract for residential purposes. Now the Council is being asked to consider the request to subdivide the tract of land to be used for residential purposes. The Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve the subdivision but recommended that Council defer action pending resolution of the inconsistencies with the Area 4 policy. Franklin said the Fringe Committee met May 28th to discuss policy for Area 4. Franklin explained the County Zoning Commission and City's Planning and Zoning Commission had recommended an alternative develop- ment policy that included limited residential development with per- formance standards. The Fringe Committee representatives agreed to ask the City Council and Board of Supervisors what density is appro- priate for Area 4. Franklin asked the City Council to address the Area 4 policy then reconvene the Fringe Committee. Franklin stated the Fringe Area Agreement is enforced for 21 years and will be re- viewed this year. Tom McDonald, representing Boyds, McGurks and Jansens, asked Council 4-! to not defer action on this resolution. McDonald explained that each family owns one acre and will own the remaining 42 acres as tenants in common. McDonald said the restrictive covenants on the property are such that no one else can build an the property and no one can sell their property until it is first offered to the remaining two property i owners. McDonald said one home may be built on the property now. In response to Baker, Timmins stated the City has to approve plats within the City's two-mile extraterritorial jurisdiction. Franklin noted the applicant has requested expedited action on this resolution. In response to Courtney, Franklin stated the Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve the subdivision with the recommendation that Council defer action until the Fringe Area Policy is resolved. Ambrisco stated Council will defer action for two weeks. City Manager Atkins said discussion of the Fringe Area 4 Policy will be scheduled for Council discussion within two weeks. J. Recommendation for the Planning and Zonina Commission that the Council in areas that have been found to be 1-,3ell) irA MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 5 appropriate for agricultural purposes is to impose urban design stan- dards on any rural subdivisions. Franklin said the standards were imposed on rural subdivisions before the Fringe Area Agreement was adopted. Ambrisco said Council will defer action on this reconnenda- tion. MEET WITH PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION REGARDING ZONING ORDINANCE AMEND- ENT- ee i e Scott stated the Planning and Zoning Commission felt that the ordinance should not be changed to address only one specific problem and if the ordinance were changed, it should include other natural features in addi- tion to the tree. Beagle said the ambiguity associated with "physical limitations" was deleted. Beagle said the only natural feature recognized by the current ordinance amendment is that of a ten inch diameter tree. Baker asked that Planning and Zoning address the issue of other natural features. Courtney expressed concern about waiving all parking require- ments. Scott suggested using an incentive similar to that in the Tree Ordinance for retaining trees on the lot. Ambrisco stated action will be deferred on this item until August 12 when the fraternity should hve a survey completed. Helling said if action is not taken to amend the ordinance and the City enforces the current ordi- nance, the fraternity will be required to construct all 24 parking spaces. SCOTT BOULEVARD ALIGMIENT ALTERNATIVE: Reel 86-C61, Side 1 Franklin stated Council received a July 18th memo regarding Scott Boule- vard alignment which was in response to a Council presentation by Tom Gelman. Franklin summarized that memo. Franklin commented that Gelman's proposed alignment would split the neighborhood commercial zoning. Franklin noted that the intent of the Comprehensive Plan is to keep the area as a neighborhood commercial site and a divided commercial site would change how the commercial zone would operate. Franklin said staff recom- mended retaining the alignment of Scott Boulevard as is currently designed. Strait asked what the cost difference would be for Gelma n's proposed alignment and the alignment as it is currently designed. Farmer stated that there would be an estimated ten percent or less difference in cost to construct either alignment. Tom Gelman, representing Herb and Mary Lyman, presented information, Eand maps outlining alternative alignments for Scott Boulevard. Courtney asked if the hill on the proposed alignment could be lowered. Farmer said the hill could be cut four feet and fill used elsewhere. Courtney stated his preference for a flatter alignment. Ambrisco inquired about negotiations with the developer regarding exchanging of commercially zoned property. Franklin stated the developer has indicated that for any decrease in the amount of CN -1 zoning for right-of-way he would want 2-1 exchange - for every one square foot removed for right-of-way, he would r -3d MINUTES INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING JULY 28, 1986 PAGE 6 want two square feet in commercial zoning. In response to Gelman's com- ments, Franklin stated that people living in the area will see and hear Scott Boulevard regardless of the alignment, lowering the road may create noise -bouncing, and if the alignment is changed, persons to the west will be impacted upon. In response to Dickson, Farmer said intakes would be installed to handle stornwater runoff from Scott Boulevard. Council directed staff to proceed with the alignment as currently proposed by the City. Councilmembers asked Farmer to consider lowering the grade of the hill. GREAT PEACE MARCH: Reel 86-C61, Side 2 Ambrisco stated the Great Peach March Group has requested that the City accept a signed letter stating that they are a non-profit organization as proof of their non-profit status. The non-profit status is required to obtain permission to make solicitations within the'cortmunity. Council approved the request, and directed the Clerk accept the letter. Council noted this as a one-time exception to the procedure. APPOINTMENTS: Reel 86-C61, Side 2 CCN - Anne Rawland COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA: Reel 86-C61, Side 2 1. Dickson informed City staff that a street sign is down at Bloomington and Elizabeth Street intersection. 2. Dickson inquired about the status of street signalization on Benton and Sunset intersection. City Manager Atkins stated he will obtain information and report back to Council. 3. Dickson inquired about street markings at the Sunset/Highway 1 inter- section. Melling stated the IDOT does not have markings for that type of island intersection and the installation of street lights should resolve problems. 4. Baker stated the Council has not received information about energy conservation programs as requested and that information should e considered before Councilmembers vote on the utility franchises. Melling stated that staffinember Jim Schoenfelder has contacted several people for energy conservation information and is receiving responses from them. Baker emphasized Council should consider that informa- tion. S. (Agenda Items No. 15 and 16 - Assisted Housing Vouchers.)
