Consider settinu a public hearing for September 16. 1986_ an an annli- B. $cuss Franklin stated that the Planning 5 Zoning Commission recommended, by a vote of 4-1, that the amendment which prohibits fully internally Illuminated awnings be adopted. In response to Strait, Franklin said a "no" vote by Council means that Council wishes to consider fully internally illuminated awnings as a signing option. In response to Courtney, Franklin stated the ordinance says that if you illuminate an entire awning, with or without script, it becomes a sign and it is prohibited. However, you may illuminate and have script on 25 percent of the awning's surface. Franklin stated the Zoning Code interpreta- tion Panel has interpreted the Zoning Ordinance to say that if an awning is illuminated to more than 25 percent of the awning's surface, It is a full sign and is contrary to the existing ordinance, Strait inquired if awnings could be lighted ail night. Franklin stated that no time limitations are included in the ordinance. In response to Strait, Franklin stated the ordinance applies to all awnings signage throughout the entire city. Ambrisco inquired about the enforcement of the ordinance. Franklin said the square footage of awnings could be checked to determine the amount of illumination and illumination L 33 I "r INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 8, 1986 PAGE 2 can be confined to 25 percent of the awning's surface by making the rest of the awning's surface opaque. Baker asked if the intensity of the light was considered. Franklin explained that an ordinance al- ready controls the wattage of the light source. Franklin said the light intensity was discussed by the Design Review Committee, Planning & Zoning Commission and City Relations Committee of the Chamber of Commerce. URBAN ENVIRONMENT AD HOC COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: Reel 86-C66, Side 2 Franklin stated Council received her September 5, 1986, memo regarding environmental regulations. Franklin asked Council to decide to what extent grading and erosion control plans and site development review for natural features should be required. Franklin said the Planning & Zoning Commission has recommended that any grading and erosion control require- ments or site plan review for natural features be applied only to subdivi- sions, large scale developments, and planned housing plans. The Urban Environment Ad Hoc Committee has recommended that grading and erosion control plan be applied to any land disturbing activities greater than 50 cubic yards and a site development review for natural features be applica- ble to beginning on the building permit level. Franklin said the Urban 1, Environment Ad Hoc Committee did exempt individual single-family lots and duplexes from the recommendation. i In response to Strait, Franklin stated The Cliffs Apartments would not have been prevented under the Planning & Zoning Commission recommenda- tions. Ambrisco asked if construction of a home with an exposed basement would be possible. Franklin stated specifics in the ordinance have not been worked out, but the Planning & Zoning Commission and staff do not want to eliminate the possibilities of walk -out basements. Franklin explained that any regulations which are adopted do not eliminate the possibility of development but look at development which takes into con- sideration the environment. In response to Baker, Franklin stated that if mplti-family building permits were included in the Planning & Zoning Commission's recommendations, additional review process steps would not be needed, Franklin stated more information, identifying natural features, obtaining a grading plan, including existing contours and proposed con- tours, would be presented at the beginning of the project. Baker inquired about natural features checklists. Franklin explained that a developer would inventory natural features on the land before starting a development project, A point system value would be attributed to the natural features, the natural features points would be added up, and if the natural features added up to a certain threshhold, the natural features would be required to be included on the preliminary plan. In response to Ambrisco, Timmins stated that if the City can find that it is within the health, welfare and safety interests of the citizens of Iowa City to regulate and preserve natural features, the City can adopt the recommendations, Baker recommended including administrative review of multi -family developments to the Planning & Zoning Commission recommenda- tions. McDonald raised concerns about burdening property owners with additional work and increasing the costs of development. McDonald asked if the recommendations could be incorporated into the subdivision regula- S--33 W'd INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 8, 1986 PAGE 3 tions. Franklin stated the environmental reconnendat ions and open space ordinance would be made part of the revised subdivision regulations - which would carry over in full or part the large scale development regula- tions. Franklin explained that if Council concurs with the Planning & Zoning recommendations, staff will incorporate those recommendations into the subdivision regulations. McDonald inquired about increased costs to the developer. Franklin stated that the Planning & Zoning recommendations would add some increment to the cost of development and there would be additional inspection costs. Franklin stated costs could be better estimated once a specific ordinance is developed. Ambrisco noted the recommendations would force developers to exercise extraordinary care. Courtney asked staff for examples demon- strating various slopes. Franklin stated Brown Street to Dubuque Street is a 50 percent slope and The Cliffs Apartments are built on a 20-23 percent slope. In response to McDonald, Franklin said the current tree ordinance has an incentive to preserve trees but that it is not required. Council agreed with the Planning & Zoning recommendations as outlined with the addition to include multi -family dwellings. Franklin stated staff will start developing specific recommendations in the context of the subdivision regulations. Courtney requested information regarding addi- tional staff needed to enforce the new regulations. MONTH PARKING RAMP PERMITS: Reel 86-C68, Side 1 Vitosh stated Council received her August 29th memo regarding parking ramp monthly permits. Vitosh reviewed the two proposals outlined in the memo which included selling an additional 95 permits for the municipal ramp and revising waiting list procedure. In response to Courtney, Fowler stated permit holders for the Dubuque Street parking ramp will be required to park above the second floor of the ramp. Council approved the proposals as outlined in the August 29th memo. COUNCIL TIME/AGENDA CONTINUED: Reel 86-C68, Side 1 2. (Agenda Item No. 22 - Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric agreement for electrical generation milldam site.) Courtney asked if IIG&E will pay the City for excess capacity generated over and above what the City uses. Timmins stated the City will give Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric any power generated in excess of what the City uses. Council asked staff to obtain information regarding the amount of energy that will be generated by the milldam project. Timmins noted the Iowa Commerce Commission name has been changed to the Iowa Department of Commerce in the milldam agreement and the franchise agreement. T- 73 '7 1 INFORMAL COUNCIL MEETING SEPTEMBER 8, 1986 PAGE 4 (Agenda _Item No. 17 - Multi -Mentions Agreement.) In response to Courtney, Melling explained the software package will allow inter- communications between someone watching the government access channel and the material actually generated on the screen. Melling said the agreement will allow the City to use the software. 4. (Agenda Item No. 4.d.2. - BIC Dick Seifers' letter.) Dickson inquired about the correspondence from Dick Seifers regarding Ames Police Department bike action. Atkins said Ames placed police officers on bikes for enforcement. Atkins said he will obtain more information. 5. Dickson referred to Harvey Miller's September 4th memo regarding alley enforcement. Dickson asked if vehicles could be towed from the alley. Timmins stated constitutional issues as they relate to the towing of vehicles will need to be researched. Atkins raised concerns about being able to get emergency vehicles through the alleys. Atkins suggested regulating alleyways at certain times each day. 6. Dickson said the elected and appointed women of Iowa will have a hospitality room at the September 25th League of Municipalities meet- ing in Des Moines. 7. Baker noted he will contact Timmins regarding the iIGEE wheeling agreement, Page 2, Part 2, Section A. 8.

In response to Strait, McDonald stated 18,000-110,000 has already been committed for the feasibility study of the milldam project. Timmins stated the wheeling agreement does not take effect and neither party has any obligation until the milldam is constructed and operating. 10. In response to Strait, Atkins said the Council will be kept apprised, updated and fully informed on any action relating to the sewage treat- ment facility. Ambrisco stated he has met with citizens and more public meetings will be held. 11.
