c. Public hearing on an ordinance to amend the sign regulations
of the Zoning Ordinance.
Comment: At the December 20, 1984, meeting, the Planning
and Zoning Commission reconmended by a 7-0 vote adoption of
amended sign regulations. The proposed ordinance was
included in the Council packet of January 15. A chart
comparing the signs permitted in various zones is included

d. Public hearing on an ordinance to vacate the nortK alley of
Block 4, Lyon's First Addition. (V-8405)
Comment: On December 26, 1973, the City deeded the "platted
alley in Block 4 Lyon's First Addition" to Capitol Imolement
Company Inc. together with certain other property for the
sum of 46,000. There are two alleys in Block 4. The Quit
Claim Deed does not specify the northern alley of Block 4 as
the alley purchased nor is there a record that this north
alley was ever vacated. A corrective ordinance is necessary
to clear title to the property and properly dispose of it.
Action: l7n o-,[ 17,4&2!-!ae
e. Consider a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning
Commission regarding a request to rezone 5.0 acres on the
north side of Rapid Creek Road approximately 0.7 miles east
of Highway 1 from A-1 to A-2. (CZ -8501)
Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a meeting
held January 17, 1985, recommended by a 6-0-1 vote (Blank
abstained) that the Council be advised to inform the Johnson
County Board of Supervisors that the application for the
rezoning of 5.0 acres north of Rapid Creek Road is not
inconsistent with the Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area
Policy Agreement. This recommendation is not consistent
with the staff recommended included in a memo dated January
10, 1985. Further information regarding this application is
included in a memo in the agenda packet.

f. Consider a resolution approving the final subdivision plat
of First and Rochester Avenue, Part Two. (S-8433)
Comment: At a meeting held January 17, 1985, the Planning
and Zoning Commission by a 7-0 vote recommended approval of
the final subdivision plat for First and Rochester Part Two,
subject to an agreement deferring development of Lots 52,
73-78 and 81 until the east side development moratorium is
rescinded. This recommendation is consistent with the staff
recommendation contained in a report dated January 17, 1985,
with the exception that the staff recommended the name of
Hickory Trail be changed to Hickory Avenue to be consistent
with the City's street naming policy. A copy of the staff
report is included in the agenda packet.

Southwest Estates Part One, located north of Rohret Road and
west of Freeway 218. (S-8426)
Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a meeting
held October 4, 1984, recommended approval by a 5-0 vote of

Estates Part One without provision of City water or City
sewer services, with a waiver of sidewalk requirements for
Lots 1-4, with deferral of stormwater management require-
ments for Lots 1-5 and with a waiver of the preliminary plat
requirements for Lot 5. This recommendation is consistent
with the staff report dated September 10, 1984, which is
included in the agenda packet. The applicant requested
deferral of this item until this time. A staff memo
regarding the provision of water and sewer services to this
subdivision is included in the agenda packet. A letter from

ITEM NO. 8 - CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A MEMORANDUM
OF AGREEMENT WITH SOUTHGATE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, INC.
Comment: Southgate Development Company has requested that the
City consider the issuance of $1,100,000 in Industrial Revenue
Bonds to finance the renovation and rehabilitation of the
building at 325 East Washington Street. A memo from the Finance
Director summarizes the results of staff's review of the
application. The City is engaged in discussions with Southgate
Development Company to determine if a long-term lease of the
building for City office use could be developed as a favorable
alternative to new construction on the Civic Center site. If
such a proposal is possible, it may be more advantageous to use
financing other than Industrial Revenue Bonds. However, as the
adoption of this initial resolution does not preclude considera-
tion of other financing alternatives, approval of the resolution
is recommended at this time.

ITEM NO. 9 - CONSIDER A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF IOWA CITY TO
AMEND THE LOW INTEREST LOAN MANUAL FOR THE HOUSING REHABILITA-
a,q TION PROGRAM WITH A REVISION OF CHAPTER 3 & CHAPTER 6 (WEATHERI-
If ZATION LOANS INVOLVING LAND SALES CONTRACT).
Comment: The current Low Interest Weatherization Loan Program
does not allow owner occupant contract purchasers to participate
in the program.
If the Resolution is passed it will allow land sales contract
purchasers to participate in the Weatherization Loan Program if
they meet the specified criteria. The weatherization loan
provides funds for such improvements as insulation, storm
windows, caulk and weather stripping. The maximum loan amount
is $2,500.00 at 3% interest for 5 years. This amendment was
reviewed and recommended for approval by the Housing Commission
at its January 8, 1985, meeting.
