(Z-8419) (first consideration) Comment: At a meeting held on February 7, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended by a vote of 5-0 approval of the request submitted by Gordon Russell to rezone approximately 32 acres located at the southern city limits east of old Highway 218 South and north of the Izaak Walton League Road from I-1 to I-2. This recommendation is not consistent with the staff recommendation stated in the report dated September 20, 1984. At a public hearing held on March 12, 1985, the applicant suggested entering into an agreement to rezone the western tract of the property to I-1 after extraction operations are completed.

Consider a resolution approving the final subdivision plan of Ruppert Subdivision Part One and the final Large Scale Non -Residential Development Plan of MHI Auto Center.

The staff report dated October 15, 1984, recommended deferral of final approval until the frontage road problem had been resolved. The property has been rezoned to CI -1. The State of Iowa has conveyed the Highway 1 right-of-way for a frontage road to the City. Contingent upon Council's action on Item f above, the conveyance of excess right-of-way to MHI, the staff recommends approval of the final plat and final LSNRD plan. Action: AY / a- 31/ m.

(0-8503) Comment: In July 1982, Plum Grove Acres conveyed permanent temporary flowage easements located in First and Rochester Part One Subdivision to the City. The location of the easements was related to the proposed alignment of First Avenue through the subdivision. First Avenue was actually constructed to the west of the original proposed location. Plum Grove Acres has requested disposal of a small portion of the permanent flowage easement in exchange for the floodway equal to the stormwater storage volume of the parcel to be removed from the flowage exchange.

Consider a resolution adopting a preferred alignment for Foster Road at its intersection with North Dubuque Road near Bristol Drive. Comment: At the formal meeting of March 5, 1985, the City Council informally concurred that the 125 -foot offset between Bristol Drive and Foster Road at the intersection of those roads with North Dubuque Road would be appropriate.

Consider a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding a request to rezone two acres north of Rapid Creek Road and approximately 1.3 miles east of Highway 1 in Johnson County from A-1 to RS. (CZ -8504) Comment: At a meeting on March 7, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended by a 5-0 vote that the Council be advised to inform the Johnson County Board of Supervisors that the application for the rezoning of two acres north of Rapid Creek Road from A-1 to RS is found to be inconsistent with the Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Policy for Area 4 as that policy is currently written. The Commission suggested further that the development policy for Area 4 be re-evaluated to allow non-farm residential use along Rapid Creek Road with consideration given to the need for access in the future to interior parcels. This recommendation is consistent with the staff reconmendation. The Johnson County/Iowa City Fringe Area Policy Committee is currently reevaluating the policy for Area 4. The Council may concur with the Commission through a simple nation which will initiate a letter to the Board of Supervisors. i &XIry ) ITEM NO. 7 - PUBLIC HEARING ON PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, FORM OF CONTRACT, AND COST ESTIMATE FOR THE.

Consider recommendation of the Design Review Committee that the preliminary design plans for redevelopment of Urban Renewal Parcel 65-2b for the Paul -Helen Building as proposed by the Small -Mears Building Company be approved as consis- tent with the Urban Renewal Plan and City Plaza design criteria and with the enthusiastic commendation of the Design Review Committee. The minutes of the meeting at which this recommendation was made will be on the consent calendar for this meeting. At this time no Council action is required. The public hearing on the sale and conveyance of this parcel is set for April 23, 1985. b. Consider recommendations of the Parks and Recreation Commission: (1) That the City Council review the proposal submitted by the City Forester for the tree nursery, including the tree spade, in its entirety at their earliest conven- ience. (2) The Commission supports the acquisition of a boom bucket truck for the Forestry Division. Both of the above items were submitted to the Council during the budget process and were not acted upon favorably. The Council may want to include these in the FY87 budget. Recently the City has received favorable trimming bids. (3) That the City Council refuse any request to re-estab- lish a City zoo. When the City Council gives direction concerning this issue, the City Manager will respond to the citizen inquiries. March 18, 1985 O To: Mayor John McDonald and the Iowa City City Council D From: Phil Nychay, Chair, Resources Conservation Commission •� ���18 1985 RE: Official Recommendations - for Immediate Release IAN K. KARR CITY CLERK (3) I1 CThe Resources Conservation Commission supports the City Council's efforts J to reach a fair and equitable franchise agreement between Iowa City and Iowa - Illinois Gas and Electric Company. We recommend that the City reconsider �. the issues of a 1% franchise fee as well as re -opening negotiations with the utility company. The Resources Conservation Commission maintains that the franchise fee is an iptegral part of the City's plan for an aggressive broad based energy conservation program for our City The proposed ; fee must be implemented for the following reasons: 1,) There is a need for a community based energy conservation program. Iowa City's available programs provide help to approximately one-tenth of the homes requiring weatherization. 2.) There is a need to limit the flow of energy dollars from Iowa Citians to Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric and the company's payments to energy suppliers out of the Iowa City area. 3.) The fee would fund an industry devoted to conservation. The 1% fee could garner approximately $375,000. Using economic multipliers, this money represents the equivalent of a one million dollar a year business locating in Iowa City and staying for many years. The franchise fee represents a significant opportunity to bring jobs and economic development to Iowa City. 4.) Based on the City Attorney's opinion, the 1% fee would not be a supplement to the general fund. 5.) Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric has not pursued an aggressive conservation program, but they have complied with the minimum standard for conservation established by the Iowa Commerce Commission. 6.) The collected fee would be used to fund projects to make Iowa City residents, businesses and the municipality more energy efficient and more attractive to new people and businesses seeking to locate in Iowa City. 7.) While the fee would be charged to the rate payers, there are long-term benefits for all residents of Iowa City. The fee represents an investment in the future. Our final recommendation concerns the length of the agreement. On conjunction with the proposed fee, we support a 10 -year franchise with a 5 -year re -opener d / clause available on demand by one party. If no fee cen be agreed upon, then we recommend that the City grant no franchise to Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Company Once again, the Resources Conservation Commission supports the City Council's efforts. We hope you will reconsider the fee. We want you to show your committ- ment to conservation, the good and welfare of Iowa Citians and to economic development.

Comment: Current regulations require adoption of the Annual Budget by formal Resolution. By Resolution No. 84-43 the City Council authorized the execution of a Consolidated Annual Contributions Contract and General Depository Agreement which was approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development effective March 23, 1984. The attached budget is the second budget combining the receipts and expenditures of the two Public Housing Projects referenced above. The proposed budget reflects a decrease of $9.53 per unit month in operating receipts based upon 97% occupancy and an increase of $17.21 per unit month in operating expenditures. Reasons for the increase in operating expenses are based primarily on the fact that costs are increas- ing. The maintenance person has been increased to full-time and the units are now more than three years old and require more routine maintenance. Both projects are financially sound and the staff recommends adoption of this budget for Fiscal Year 1986.

However, when the entire Chapter 18 was revised in May, 1984, subsection (h) of Section 18-44 was inadvertently deleted.
