gle-family subdivision zoned PDH -5. Variations from the

were recommended in an effort to provide affordable housing.
In relation to this development, the Commission also
recommended that the. cost of extending Peterson Street to
Vista Park Village and Arbor Drive be borne by the City and
the developer. A public hearing was held June 18, 1985; a

ITEM NO. 19 - RECOMMENDATIONS OF BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS.
a. Consider recommendations of the Committee on Community
Needs:
(1) The CCN recommends to the City Council that $12,000 in
1985 CDBG funds be granted to the Mary 0. Coldren Home
for the purpose of making repairs.
On June 18, 1985, representatives from the Mary 0.
Coldren Home presented the CCN with a request for CDBG
funds in the amount of $12,000 to be used to make
repairs. No formal action is required at this time,
however, the Council should indicate its willingness to
fund this request. Additional information is contained
in the agenda materiai.
(2) The CCN recommends to the City Council that the
deadline to acquire or negotiate an option to acquire
property for the Miller/ orchard Park from the present
owner be extended to September 30, 1985.
At the June 18, 1985, meeting, the CCN discussed the
status of the negotiations for the Miller/Orchard Park
Acquisition. On October 23, 1984, the CCN recommended
to the City Council additional funding of ;60,000
contingent upon acquisition or receipt of an option to
buy by June 1, 1985. The COBB allocation for the park
acquisition totals $102,500. Because of the lack of
progress, the CCN recommends extending the deadline and
requests information from the City Council on the
status of negotiations to acquire the park.
b. Consider recommendations of the Design Revie�ttee
that:
(1) No change be made to the City Plaza Fountain. If the
Council feels compelled to take some action to decrease
the City's liability, the Committee suggests that
changes be limited to imbedding four warning signs, one
on each side of the fountain, into the bricks bordering
the base. These signs should be designed especially
for this purpose upon consultation with the fountain
architect. This recommendation was made at the June 5
meeting of the Committee, and the Council has since
made a decision regarding the signs.
ld
(2) The Dubuque Street Ramp expansion should include trees
and landscaping along Burlington and Linn Streets, in
planters if necessary, and should also include design
of graphics for the entire ramp. These recommendations
have been incorporated in the bid documents.
