j Re: Amendment to Sign Ordinance - Sycamore Mall
Dear Mayor McDonald:
I am writing to you in connection with an amendment to the Iowa City Sign
Ordinance which I believe will be on the agenda of the City Counsel
on Tuesday, July 16, 1985. I am working on behalf of J.M.B. Realty which
are the new owners and managers of this property.
Recently, the provisions of the Iowa City Sign Ordinance as it applies to
the Sycamore Mall property was reviewed. In this review it was discovered
that the existing ordinance permits signs covering 15% of the "front wall"
although there was a limitation on facia signs of 10%. In reviewing the
application of the ordinance to this property I think the staff agreed
that.the effect of the ordinance was to penalize this property since the
other types of signs permitted under the sign ordinance (canopy, awning and
window) are not really feasible for this property. In effect, the Sycamore
Mall property can only use facia signs and under the current sign ordinance,
the property is effectively restricted to a 10% limitation rather than to a
15% limitation.
The City Staff recognized this problem and proposed that the Sign Ordinance
be amended to permit facia signs for the entire 15% limitation. It is my
understanding that the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission approved this
change on a 4 to 1 vote. It is important to realize that there is no increase
in the amount of signs permitted, only a change in the type of signs permitted.
I think with respect to this property only a facia sign can be used effectively.
If you or any other members of the City Counsel (or the City Staff) have a
question, feel free to contact me. A representative of J.M.B. Realty will be
in town on Monday, July 15, and can be available to attend the meeting if this
would be helpful. J.M.B. Realty would like to have the ordinance approved
as quickly as possible. If there is any chance of waiving any or all of the
three readings of the ordinance, this would be very helpful.

Dear Mr. Burgess:
I have for acknowledgement your letter and petition regarding the
sidewalk on the west side of Pleasant Street between Rochester Avenue
and Bloomington Street. This petition was formally accepted by the City
Council as part of its regular meeting on July 16, 1985.
Your letter is correct that this sidewalk was included in the Sidewalk
Assessment Program as it was originally proposed. It was to have been
installed either by the adjacent property owner or, in the absence of
voluntary installation, by the City with the cost being assessed back to
i,
the adjacent property owner.
The City Council held a public hearing on this project at its regular
meeting on June 4, 1985. Prior to that public hearing, and again at the
public hearing, Council received objections to the inclusion of this
sidewalk because its proper installation would jeopardize a valuable,
attractive tree in that block. At the June 4 meeting, Council subse-
quently voted to delete this sidewalk from the program. That vote
Precludes the installation of the sidewalk in question under the current
assessment program.
Your petition will remain on file and will be considered by the City
Council when the next sidewalk assessment project is considered. No
such project is scheduled for the remainder of the current fiscal year
which ends on June 30, 1986. I anticipate such a program will be
initiated for the next fiscal year.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate
to contact me.
Sincerely yours, %

Dear Mayor McDonald and City Councilors:
Soon athletes, coaches and spectators from around the country
will be coming to our community for the 1985 AAU Junior Olympic
Games. Preparations for this event have been underway for almost
two years now, bringing together many parts of our community to
work on making the Iowa City/Coralville Games a success.
The Downtown Association, and perhaps one or two other groups,
would like to purchase approximately 40 United States flags. We
would like to display these flags during the Junior Olympics
Week, and at other appropriate times, on the Street Light poles
in the downtown area. These poles would be the same poles that
are used for the Holiday Decorations, during November and
December. We would like to install a small bracket on the poles
to allow for the flag poles to hang perpendicular, thus allowing
the flag to hang straight down toward the street.
If you have questions or concerns about this request, please feel
free to give me a call.
Looking forward to an exciting, successful AAU Junior Olympics in
our community.
Sincerely,
Ernie Lehman, Chairperson

has directed staff to cooperate in this effort.
It will be necessary that this be coordinated closely with City staff in
the selection of appropriate poles, brackets for installation, etc. At
such time as you are aware to proceed, please contact me and I will
ensure that the appropriate City staff are involved.
I wish you and your Committee great success in your efforts. I am
confident that this year's Junior Olympics will reflect very favorably
on our community and all the fine citizens who are donating their time
and effort in this regard.

City of Iowa City Council
410 E. Washington St.
Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear City Council Members:
I am writing to point out some problems caused by the recent
elimination of bicycle lanes on Jefferson and Market Streets.
As a resident of Jefferson Street and a frequent bicyclist, I am
concerned about my own safety and that of my neighbors.
When the bicycle lanes were removed, the traffic engineers
also shifted the center lines'of both streets, forcing motorists
to drive closer to the pavement if they use the left-hand lanes.
However, many bicyclists have continued to ride on the left-hand
side of the streets, creating the potential for collisions..
In addition, in the 200 and 300 blocks of Jefferson Street,
parking is permitted on Sundays during church hours on the left-
hand side. But the left-hand lane is now too narrow for cars to
get around the congestion and confusion that occur when church
goers enter and leave their parked cars. Cars traveling in the
left-hand lane must swerve into the right-hand lane to avoid
hitting pedestrians. The situation has become chaotic on Sunday
mornings.
I understand that the Bicyclists of Iowa City, with which I I
am not associated, recommended that the bicycle lanes be removed
because their members didn't want to be restricted to the lanes.
Many other bicyclists appreciated the existence of the bicycle
lanes, however, and used them constantly. They have continued
to do so, indicating that the lanes served a valuable purpose.
Bicyclists of Iowa City does not speak for those of us who wanted
and needed to use the lanes to ensure our safety.
If the City Council does not wish to reinstate the bicycle
lanes, despite the problems their removal has caused, could you
please consider moving the center lines of Jefferson and Market
Streets back to where they were? This would eliminate or reduce
the traffic hazards that now threaten the safety of bicyclists,
motorists and pedestrians alike.
Thank you for your consideration of this letter. I look
forward to your reply.
i,
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Rabben:
Thank you for your letter of June 21, 1985, regarding bicycle lanes on Jefferson
and Market Streets. This letter was formally accepted by the City Council as part
of the agenda of its regular meeting on July 16, 1985.
The City Council was contacted several times in recent years by representatives
from Bicyclists of Iowa City (BIC) regarding these and other bicycle lane mark-
ings. The contention of BIC representatives has been that left-hand lanes on
these one-way streets are hazardous and that these lanes should be moved to the
right-hand side. However, because of the conflict with parked vehicles, it was
decided that this was not an advisable alternative. BIC representatives then
j suggested that it would be safer to leave the markings off altogether rather than
continue designating the left-hand bicycle lane. A majority of the Council agreed
and instructed the Traffic Engineer to remove the bicycle lanes on Market and
Jefferson Streets.
The City Council discussed your letter briefly at its informal meeting on July 15,
1985 and decided that no further changes be made at this time. This is a diffi-
cult issue for the City Council in light of the two distinct points of view which
exist. BIC represents mature, experienced bicyclists while your point of view is
more representative of the younger or less experienced rider. Meeting the needs
of one group does not always similarly serve those of the other.
It would be especially helpful for the City if representatives of these two
opposing viewpoints could get together and formulate recommendations which might
be acceptable to both groups. If such discussions were initiated, I would be
pleased to have the appropriate City staff persons provide whatever information
and advice might be helpful.
Your interest in this matter is very much appreciated.
Sincerely yours, i

Dear Council Member:
I am requesting your approval for access from a city street for
the purpose of a private drive onto my undeveloped lot on Hutchinson
Avenue in Manville Heights.
I have included in your packet information which should help make
your decision concerning the above request. Included are the
following:
1) Shive-Hattery & Associates Property and Topographic Survey of
the lot and the Hutchinson Avenue access;
2) Gee Grading & Excavating, Inc., detailed study and Engineer's
recommendation for Hutchinson access;
3) Shive-Hattery & Associates complete drainage analysis,
sketch, storm sewer layout, and approximate construction costs
for storm sewerage of the property;
4) Building construction site and plans of what project will
look like.
I would also like to appeal to you on a personal note the follow-
ing points:
1) I have been the owner and taxpayer on the aforementioned
property for over 11 years. I mention this point because I have
personally met many times with the last three City Engineers and have
had their approval or blessing, to gain access on Hutchinson. Indeed,
i
i
2
I purchased the lot with that access understanding in 1973. Now, when
I am able to build, the new City policy is one of Council approval for
access requests. In 1985 I understand the need for such policies, but
I sincerely believe my situation requires a look at past consid-
erations.
2) The time delay factor was planned. I am an elementary school
teacher. My goal is and always has been to purchase the lot, pay off
the lot, use the collateral to build a Frank Lloyd Wright home on the
lot in beautiful Manville Heights. In my Freshman year of college, I
went door to door, looking for a special lot in Manville. I found it.
My goat has been a long one, but well worth the effort of one full-
time job (teaching), plus several part-time jobs throughout the past
eleven years.
3) The Bayard Street "access" was put in as "fill dirt" in 1972,
without City approval, by Jim Denham, a realtor and private
contractor. The drainage plans were not considered and the actual
natural drainage of storm water has been altered. Back then,
Hutchinson was indeed the only natural entrance to the lot. The storm
sewer work that has been engineered and studied will provide storm
drainage for the area and will curb existing hillside erosion of
surrounding area. The existing "access" off Bayard ignored City
right-of-way property and lot lines of the property (See Shive-Hattery
Survey).
4) The private drive will only enter on City owned property, an
area now just a ravine. Hutchinson Avenue is now a dead end city
street, and will not be opened to thru traffic after construction.
i
14q �'Z I

5) As mentioned, the home plans have been architecturally
designed by the Taliesin Foundation, Frank Lloyd Wright's fellowship.
Further study has been done by Roland.IJehner and Steve Bruggeman, both
members of the American Institute of Architects (AIA). Hence, the
Hutchinson Avenue entrance is the only viable access onto the lot in
keeping with the Frank Lloyd Wright design of the home.
6) I have personally invested over $5,000 in pre -building costs
such as Engineer fees, architectural designs, tree planting, lot
improvements, etc. John Shive, Shive Hattery & Associates, personally
has helped on my pre -building ideas, on land topography, drainage,
etc. Most builders do not go to this detail or cost as I have. I
want to be right.
7) I expect to pay over $12,500 on storm sewer work yet to be
completed to make sure the natural storm drainage is allowed.
8) The private drive, storm sewer work, drainage plans, etc.,
all will be built according to City Engineering Codes and demands. As
stated before I have tried to maintain a constant working relationship
with every City Engineer during the past 11 years. The project will
be engineered and studied by the best people I can find. Steve
Engelbart, Gee Grading & Excavation, Inc., is the Engineer supervising
the Hutchinson project.
9) 1 fully expect to maintain the Hutchinson access of the
private drive. I understand the need for snow removal, lighting, and
ground cover for driveway bank.
10) The home design - architecture - landscaping - all are in
keeping with the grace and flow of the Manville Heights tradition. I

I

believe this neighborhood to be the most traditionally beautiful area
in all of Iowa City. The actual home plan is set back from Hutchinson
and Bayard by the topography of the lot. It will be barely visible as
with most Frank Lloyd Wright hones. (There are ravines between the
home and both streets.)
11) The Hutchinson access, besides being physically much more
suitable for building purposes, is also much more aesthetically
appealing as an entrance to the home.
12) The current appraisal of the lot is listed at $30,000+ by
Hoffman -Waters Realtors.
It is my sincere hope that you reflect on these personal past, pre-
sent, and future plans concerning the access request. I would
appreciate your concern.

Bill Peck Re: Storm Drainage Proposals
I1
1456 Valley View Circle
Coralville, Iowa 52241
Dear Mr. Peck s Ms. Flood:
- We have had numerous discussions •with the Engineering Department of the City of
Iowa City about a possible solution to the storm sewer drainage problem in
jrelation to your property:
1. City to connect both street intakes to a storm sewer and discharge into
the main creek.
2, city to plug the westerly street intake and shape the channel from the
easterly outlet to the main creek with r•iprap placed at said outlet.
The Engineering Department then referred the project to the Director of Public
Works, Richard Plastino. His determination was that the city will not participate
in any rectification of the problem.
Preliminary drainage recommendations for the south 80 feet of the east 150 feet
of Block 8, Manville Addition, Johnson County, Iowa. There appears to be three
alternative methods of handling the drainage. The drainage through the lot can
be handled in one of three ways. These are as follows:
� 1. The 12 -inch corrugated metal piping that outlets in the westerly half .
i
.of the lot can be extended down the centerline of the existing draw.
Where a second waterway enters the easterly half of the lot, this
12 -inch corrugated metal piping from the storm intake could be connected
at this point with a manhole and then storm sewer off the site with an
outlet at the old Hutchinson Street right-of-way.
2. Rerouting of open channel so that the storm water could be handled by
an open ditch such as is located on the property but relocated to give
more buildable area on the lot. This relocation could either come
towards the front or even be moved back into the lot. The last
suggestion would be the least desirable of the two.
i I
I
Peck -Flood

i
3. The draw could be left as it is and the back half of the lot filled
for a building site and more fill placed on the west side with present
inlets and outlets extended off the lot for a driveway.
These recommendations are preliminary at this time and should be studied in
more detail upon completion of the architect's design for the house and then
specific cost analyization could be undertaken and a decision of the proper
method of storm water handling undertaken at this time.
We believe this complete our portion of the project at this time.

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 3, 1985
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Brachtel, Traffic Engineer
Re: Parking Meter Zone in the 300 Block of South Linn Street
As directed by Section 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, this is to
advise you, of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-274 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, the City
Traffic Engineer will establish a change in the parking meter zone in the 300
block of South Linn Street, At the present time, three meters (L-54, L-56
and L-58) located on the east side of Linn Street, just south of Burlington,
are five hour meters. These will be changed to half-hour meters. This
action will take place on or shortly after July 19, 1985.
COMMENT:
This action is being taken to provide short term meters to facilitate the
business office operation of Northwestern Bell Telephone Company. Recently
Northwestern Bell has moved their business office from Plaza Centre One to
the 300 South Linn address. The conversion from long-term to short-term
parking will provide customer parking for Northwestern Bell. This change is
consistent with the meter parking in place prior to their business office
operation in Plaza Centre One.

Dear Members of the Council:
I have received notice that I will be assessed more than $1000
if the FY86 Alley Paving Project is approved. While I recognize
that property owners with garages opening onto this alley will
benefit from such paving I will not benefit from the project.
I prefer to invest such an amount in improvements to my own
property, and therefore, hope that this assessment will not be
approved.
Yours truly,

Dear Ms. Kau:
I have received the "NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS" concerning a
proposed Resolution of Necessity, the result of which would
be to pave an alley behind property I own and assess me the
sum of $2,047,41 for work that I do not regard as an
"improvement", have not requested, and do not want. The
property is Lot 14, Raphael Place Addition.
i wish to object to this proposed action in the strongest
possible terms. The existing alley surface has served
satisfactorily for longer than 1. have been alive and there
does not appear to be any reason to change it at this time.
To do so would be to add a financial burden to many people
none of whom, to my knowledge, have requested this
unnecessary "improvement." This appears to be another action
taken without asking those who will have to pay for it if
they want it. it will also be another bit of damage to our
environment without good cause.
Please see that this letter is given to the City Council as a
STRONG OBJECTION!

Iowa City, Iowa
Council Members,
I am filing a petition opposing the proposed alley paving
Project for the alley north of Hotz Avenue, south of Rochester
Avenue, between Clapp and Parsons streets, and would like to
bring a few items to your attention.
The 26 �eoriginal petition initiating this project was signed by
However, the original petition also stated that "we
don't feel as though the full cost should be -leveled an us
alone".
that asConsequently, several of those people did not realize
.property owners they would be assessed the full cost of
the Project. As a result of this a number of the original
signses have changed their position and have signed the new
Petition opposing the paving Project.
Additionally, saws of the residents. signing the first
Petition no longer reside in this neighborhood. Also, I know of
two signatures an the original petition by People who no longer,
own Property that abuts the alley and are not residents of the
area. They are not being assessed, and therefore should have no
Input in this matter.
When the" items are taken into account, I find 9 signatures
remaining on the original petition favoring the paving of this
alley. In contrast, the petition I as filing contains 38
signatures of Property owners and residents opposing the paving
project. I feel that it is clear that the majority of people
affected by this decision do not want the alley paved. I
would appreciate your consideration of this and urge you to vote
against the paving of this alley.

We, the undersigned, being residents of Iowa City and/or property
owners abutting the alley north of Hotz Avenue and south of Rochester
Avenue between Clapp and Parsons streets, object to the proposed
paving of this alley. We feel that paving will increase traffic and
realize that as property owners we will be assessed the full cost of the
Project. Furthermore, we feel that this cost is excessive for the derived
benefit and that paving of this alley is unnecessary.

Dear Mayor & 14embersf
Z -V Wife and I would lice to go on record as being 100 c/o in favor of paving the
alley between Clapp St on the West and Parsons Ave. on the East. We have put up with$
and fought dust and dirt for 31 years. I did make a traffic count for the lack of
i
something to dos while recovering from a heart problems and found there to be more
cars going through the alley than the traffic count on Hotz Ave.
Ow other request.would be to install a few speed bra&ers.or make the alley one way
from West to East. (A 15 mile per hour sign might cut the speeding down.) Please don't
make it one way going the same direction as Market St, for this truly would make it a•
speedway. Thank you for your conaiderationo

MEMORANDUM
Date: July 10, 1985
To: Mayor John McDonald and City Council
From: Mary Nugent, Associate Planneo
Re: Request for 1985 CDBG Funds for the Mary 0. Coldren Home
Representatives from the Board of Trustees for the Mary 0. Coldren Home
have requested $12,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds
for rehabilitation and weatherization of the facility. The Home, located
at 602 Clark Street, has been cited for housing code violations by the
City's Department of Housing &. Inspection Services. The most urgent
repair listed was tuckpointing, estimated at a cost of $7,000. In
addition, CDBG funding has been requested for the following repairs:
$2,000 for repair of a sagging porch; $2,000 for repair and replacement of
rotting basement windows; and $1,000 for insulation.
The Committee on Community Needs, at its June 18, 1985, meeting, recom-
mended that $12000 in 1985 CDBG funds be allocated to the Mary 0. Coldren
Home for the purpose of making the repairs. A copy of the request is
attached for your review. In addition, Committee discussion of the Mary
0. Coldren Home request is contained in the June 18, 1985, CCN meeting
minutes.
The staff will not proceed further with a request to amend the CDBG budget
unless directed by the City Council. If you need additional information,
please contact Jim Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator at 356-5244 or me at
356-5248.
