DIVISION 2. OVERLAY ZONES
Sec. 8651. Flood hazard overlay zones—General.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of the flood hazard overlay zones is to
establish regulations to minimize the extent of floods and the �\
losses incurred in flood hazard areas and to promote the public ��
health, safety and welfare.
(b) Intent The flood hazard overlay zones are intended to per-
mit only that development within the floodplain which is appro-
priate in light of the probability of flood damage. The regulations
as set forth herein shall apply to all property located in the
floodplain, as shown on the flood hazard boundary map filed
with the city clerk.
(c) Adoption of flood maps and flood insurance study. The city
has adopted the preliminary revised flood insurance rate map,
the Rood boundary and floodway map and the flood insurance
study dated May 17, 1984, provided by the federal emergency
management agency as the official documents. No ordinance re-
lated to these documents shell be adopted or enforced based upon
modified data reflecting natural or man-made physical changes
without prior approval of change in the documents by the federal
emergency management agency. i
(d) Lands to which the overlay zones apply. The flood hazard
overlay zones shall apply to all lands shown on the flood hazard

The boundaries of the floodplaine and floodways shall be deter-
mined from information presented on the flood boundary and

governing factor in locating the zone boundary on any property.
Any person contesting the location of the zone boundary shall be
given an opportunity to present hislher case to the board of
adjustment for interpretation.
(f) Disclaimer of liability. The degree of flood protection re-
quired herein is considered reasonable for regulatory purposes
and is based on engineering and scientific methods of study.
Larger floods may occur on rare occasions or flood heights may be
increased by man-made or natural causes, such as ice jams or
bridge. openings restricted by debris. These regulations do not
imply that areas outside the flood hazard overlay zones will be
free from flooding or flood damages. These regulations shall not
create liability on the pert of the city or any official or employee
thereof for any flood damages that result from reliance on these
regulations or any administrative decision lawfully made hereunder.
(g) Establishment of floodplain overlay (OPP) zone and flood -
way overlay (OF14) zone The city hereby establishes a floodplain
overlay (OFF) zone and a floodway overlay (OFW) zone' which
boundaries are those of the designated one hundred -year flood
and the designated floodway respectively, as shown on the flood
boundary and floodway map. The OFP zone includes the OFW
zone.
(h) Public inspection. The city maintains for public inspection
the following:

kPIdWU
The preliminary subdivision plat and LSNRD plans for this property were
recommended for approval by the Planning and Zoning Commission on June 20,
1985, subject to rezoning of portions of Lots 7 and 8, Block 1, Braverman
Center, from RM -12 to CC -2. The Commission also recommended a number of
conditions related to this project to improve traffic circulation in the
area. The rezoning request is currently under consideration by Council, and,
if approved, is contingent upon certain conditions as detailed in an
agreement known, as,the Pepperwood Place Agreement, between the applicant and
the City Council.
Final Subdivision Plat
The final subdivision plat of Lots 5A, 5B, 6, 7, and 8 of Block 1, Braverman
Center is in accordance with the preliminary plat and the subdivision regula-
tions of the City. Staff recommends that access to Lot 8 be limited to a
single access from Broadway Street, in order to maintain the integrity of the
street in relation to the residential uses on the east side of the street.
Aside from this addition to the Subdividers Agreement, all other legal papers
are in order.
Final LSNRD Plan
The final LSNRD plan for Lots 4, 5B, and 7, Block 1, Braverman Center, is in
compliance with City regulations, and a letter of intent and evidence of
ownership have been filed by the applicant. The final LSNRD plan differs
from the preliminary plan; as approved by the Commission] in a number of
respects; the negotiated conditions of the Pepperwood Place Agreement
required that certain amendments be made to the plan prior to final approval.
The following changes have occurred:
A. Changes within the boundaries of the LSNRD Plan
1. New -design speed bumps will be provided on the main east -west
Pepperwood Place Drive if required. No speed bumps will be installed
on the drive in front of K -Mart. Staff does not recommend the
installation of,speed bumps.

■
I

B. Changes associated with area traffic circulation
1. Barricades will not be installed at the points of closure of
Hollywood Boulevard.
2. Curbs to be placed at the points of closure of Hollywood Boulevard
will be six inches rather than five inches in height.
3. The main entrance/exit to Keokuk Street will be widened and improved
acording to Exhibit A of the Pepperwood Place Agreement, as approved
by the Board of Adjustment.
4. A one-way west, single -lane entrance from Broadway Street to a drive
(currently Hollywood Boulevard) in front of Colonial Park Offices
(CPO) shall be maintained. This drive was requested by the owners of
CPO in order to serve handicapped persons and to enable proper
circulation of truck traffic. An agreement between the applicant and
the owners of CPO will determine how the costs for this construction
will be allocated. The City has proposed that the right-of-way for
Hollywood Boulevard between Broadway Street and the west edge of the
driveway from Hollywood Boulevard to the CPO property, be vacated and
disposed of to CPO.
The Iowa Department of Transportation (IDOT) must approve this
proposal as well as all other traffic circulation and construction
proposals in the Highway 6 right-of-way.
5. The Council has decided to leave the Taylor Drive/Highway 6 intersec-
tion as is at this time. However, the Pepperwood Place Agreement
requires #25,000 escrow from the applicant for possible future
improvements or changes to that intersection. Such changes may be
the construction of deceleration lanes, signalization, partial
closing of the interchange or whatever the traffic situation appears
to warrant, once the shopping center has opened. There is a two year
time limit on the City's use of the escrowed funds from the time of
issuance of the first occupancy permit for the shopping center.
Issues for further consideration
1. Staff has discussed the closing of Hollywood Boulevard with the Iowa
Department of Transportation (IDOT). Staff recommends, and local IDOT
officials are in general agreement, that the closed portions of Hollywood
Boulevard be vacated and disposed of to the City and then to property
owners. Since this procedure will take several months, staff recommends
that Southgate Development Co., Inc., and Colonial Park Offices be asked
to sign an agreement with the City, agreeing to maintain the sidewalk and
maintain and mow the closed portions of Hollywood Boulevard, and to
acquire said closed portions at such a time as they are vacated and
disposed of by the City. Easements for the sidewalk and utilities will
need to be reserved.
2. The proposed obliteration of Hollywood Boulevard with approximately two
feet of dirt and sod will leave the existing sidewalk to the south at a
considerably lower grade. The applicant should document how this
sidewalk will be drained and kept clear of accumulating debris.
/783
4
3. In informal discussion, Council members appeared to be opposed to the
Commission recommendation of "right -turn only" at the west intersection
of Hollywood Boulevard and Keokuk Street. The Council has not yet
considered the Commission's recommendations regarding:
a. Moving the post office box on Keokuk Street.
b. Moving the bus shelter at K -Mart Drive and Keokuk Street.
c. Scheduling a bus stop in front of K -Mart.
The Commission may wish to reiterate these recommendations.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. Revised subdividers agreement.
2. Stormwater calculations and correct laying of pipes at Highway 6/Broadway
Street intersection.
3. Documentation on adequate drainage of sidewalk north of K -Mart parking
lot.
4. Agreements with Southgate Develoment Co. Inc, and Colonial Park Offices
regarding maintenance and acquisition of closed portions of Hollywood
Boulevard.
5. Agreement between Southgate Develoment Co. Inc. and Colonial Park Offices
regarding construction and cost-sharing for the one-way entrance from
Broadway Street to Colonial Park Offices.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Based upon the above analysis, staff recommends deferral of the final
subdivision plat for Lots 5A, 5B, 6, 7 and 8 of Block 1, Braverman Center,
and the final LSNRD plan for Lots 4, 5B and 7 of Block 1, Braverman Center.
Upon resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends
approval, subject to the rezoning of portions of Lots 7 and 8 from RM -12 to
CC -2 and with the following recommendations.
I
1. That Hollywood Boulevard right-of-way immediately north of Colonial Park
Offices be vacated and disposed of to Colonial Park Offices.
2. That the remainder of the closed portions of Hollywood Boulevard be
vacated and disposed of to Southgate Development Co. Inc.
3. That the applicant and the owner of Colonial Park Offices agree to the
construction and design of the one-way entrance from Broadway Street to
the Colonial Park Offices.

RE: Pepperwood Place LSNRD Statement of Intent, Evidence of Ownership,
Description of Development and Intended Time Schedule of Completion
Dear Mayor McDonald and Members of the City Council:

submitted drawings. Simultaneously with this project, Southgate intends to
construct certain improvements and modifications to Broadway Street, Highway 6
and Hollywood Boulevard and the adjacent Kmart property as approved by City
Council, Iowa Department of Transportation and Kmart Corporation.
It is our intention to begin construction in the fall of 1985 with completion
In the summer of 1986.

Re: Alternative Traffic Circulation Patterns for Braverman Center
Some members of the Council are very concerned with the perceived
potential hazard created by traffic speeding between Keokuk and Broadway
Street through the proposed shopping center and K -Mart Drive. The
installation of new -design speed bumps on the Pepperwood Place Drive may
alleviate this concern.
One of the neighbors of the area has submitted proposals (attached) for
alternative traffic circulation patterns in the area. Staff has studied
these proposals and an evaluation of each is presented below:
Proposal Al
Advantages:
1. Direct entry to Pepperwood Place Shopping Center from Highway 6 at a
signalized intersection.
2. Elimination of the perceived traffic hazard created by a "straight
through" drive between Keokuk Street and Broadway Street in front of
K -Mart.
Disadvantages:
1. Broadway Street would remain closed at Highway 6 forcing much residen-
tial traffic in the area either through the shopping center or over
Sandusky Drive to Keokuk Street thus exacerbating problems at the
Keokuk Street/Highway 6 intersection.
2. Confusing and circuitous routing of traffic through the Pepperwood
Place Shopping Center particularly for traffic entering from Broadway
Street.
3. The only access to Colonial Park offices is from Broadway Street
reached either through the shopping center or via the residential
area.
Proposal Bl
Advantages:
1. Signalized intersection at Broadway Street and Highway 6 allows
Broadway to act as intended collector for the residential area to the
south.
/ 783
------ ---- ----- -- .--- ------ -
2
2. Appropriate traffic access for Colonial Park Offices.
3. No "straight through" drive between Keokuk Street and Broadway Street.
4. No east intersection of Hollywood and Keokuk Street.
Disadvantages:
1. Encourages traffic to disperse in all directions across K -Mart parking
lot to avoid two 900 turns.
2. Requires re -orientation of all K -Mart parking.
3.- Redirection of Iowa State Bank traffic not acceptable to the property
owners.
Proposal C
Advantages:
See items 1-3 for Proposal B1.
Disadvantages:
1. Queuing problems would be created with right and left -turning traffic
from Highway 6 onto Broadway and Hollywood.
2. Hollywood Boulevard remains open for westbound traffic between
Broadway Street and Keokuk Street and exacerbates problems at the
Highway 6/Keokuk Street intersection.
3. One-way entry/exit system for Pepperwood Place circuitous and
confusing.
4. Traffic from south entering from Broadway mixes with truck traffic,
has no access to K -Mart lot.
This analysis includes the major pros and cons of each proposal. While
all proposals have some advantages, the plan, as submitted, still provides
the best traffic circulation patterns.

Re: Braverman Center Preliminary and Final LSNRD Recommendations
On June 20, 1985, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval
of the preliminary LSNRD plan for Braverman Center with certain additional
recommendations to improve traffic flow on Keokuk Street. Discussions of
two of these recommendations were not completed by Council during previous
meetings:
1. That the postal drop box on Keokuk Street be moved out of the street
right-of-way:
The U.S. Post Office has no objection to moving the drop box provided
the Iowa State Bank and Trust Co. agrees. The attached letter
indicates that Mr. Summerwill (President, ISB&T) is in agreement with
moving the box. An alternate location has yet to be determined.
2. That the bus stop and shelter on Keokuk Street• opposite the K -Mart
drive be moved to the corner of Southgate Avenue and Keokuk Street,
and if possible a bus stop in front of the K -Mart store be scheduled.
The Planning and Zoning Commission has recommended that in order to
improve circulation and make the area safer for pedestrians, the bus
shelter on Keokuk Street, which is currently directly opposite the
K -Mart drive, be moved to the corner of Keokuk Street and Southgate
Avenue. The Commission also recommended that a bus stop be scheduled
directly in front of K -Mart.
Additional agreements relating to the LSNRD:
Agreements between Southgate Development Co. Inc., Colonial Park Offices
and the City regarding the future vacation and disposition of portions of
Hollywood Boulevard which are to be closed, as well as the maintenance of

ANALYSIS
Access is from Highway 1 north
of I-80.
Hilly terrain with some wooded
and marshy areas; includes a
portion of Rapid Creek.
National Computer Systems, Inc. (NCS) is requesting approval of an amendment to
the existing preliminary and final LSNRD plan approved in March 1985. At that
time NCS added approximately 13,000 square feet of floor area in five temporary
buildings. The current plan will add 21,250 square feet gross floor area in a
permanent structure at the rear of the existing building. The new building
will accommodate computer equipment and data processing and printing activi-
ties. NCS plans to vacate and remove the temporary structures by September 1,
1986.
Since the proposed expansion is more than 10% of the existing floor area, the
applicant is required to comply with the tree planting regulations along the
street right-of-way. However, according to the plans there is a 20 foot
utility easement along the property frontage with the I-80 ramp. Although
there are some existing trees in this easement area, the City Engineer has
determined that trees should not be planted in a utility easement since they
restrict access to the utilities and may cause complications with the utility
lines. Therefore, trees cannot be planted on the applicant's property in
conformity with the tree regulations requiring that right-of-way trees be
within 14 feet (large) or 8 feet (small) of the right-of-way line. For
city -owned right-of-way, trees may be planted in the right-of-way with the
permission of the City Forester. The right-of-way in question is state-owned
rather than city -owned. The applicant should request permission from the Iowa
Department of Transportation (IDOT) to plant trees in the right-of-way near the
property line. If IDOT does not permit such planting, no right-of-way trees
will be required.
Additional parking areas must also comply with the City's regulations for
design of parking areas and with the tree regulations.
Compliance with the Storm Water Management Ordinance was deferred at the time
of approval of the temporary structures until the construction of a permanent
addition. The LSNRD plan submitted conforms with all the applicable regula-
tions of the Storm Water Management Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance.
One other issue for consideration is access to the property immediately west of
the NCS property. A 50 foot street right-of-way along the south property line
to provide such access, was recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission
in 1970. However, this right-of-way was not included in the Council -approved
LSNRD plan at that time. Currently, there is an informal agreement between NCS
and the property owner to the west (John Grolmus et a1) which permits access
across the NCS parking lot to a gravel drive leading to the Grolmus property.
More recently, at the time of discussions relating to the lift station serving
NCS and properties east of Highway 1, general discussions included a proposed
60 foot access easement to the Grolmus property adjacent to the northern NCS
property line. This proposed access easement, shown on the amended LSNRD plan,
is largely in the Rapid Creek floodway. The Iowa Department of Water, Air and
1715-
3
Waste Management (IDWAWM) in general does not permit any fill or construction
in the floodway. A road could therefore not be constructed at the proposed
location. The City and NCS recognize the need to resolve the problem of an
appropriate location for a road. NCS wishes to study the effect of alternative
locations for the road on its future development plans.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends deferral of the amended preliminary and final Large Scale
Non -Residential Development plan for National Computer Systems; upon resolution
of the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below, staff recommends approval of
the amended LSNRD.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. Floodway and 100 -year floodplain of Rapid Creek not shown.
2. Future road right-of-way must be located out of floodway.
3. Agreement providing for the future dedication of right-of-way is needed.

ANALYSIS
National Computer Systems, Inc. (NCS) is requesting approval of an amendment to
the existing preliminary and final LSNRD plan approved in March 1985. At that
time NCS added approximately 13,000 square feet of floor area in five temporary
buildings. The current plan will add 21,250 square feet gross floor area in a
permanent structure at the rear of the existing building. The new building
will accommodate computer equipment and data processing and printing activi-
ties. NCS plans to vacate and remove the temporary structures by September 1,
1986.
Since the proposed expansion is more than 10% of the existing floor area, the
applicant is required to comply with the tree planting regulations along the
street right-of-way. However, according to the plans there is a 20 foot
utility easement along the property frontage with the I-80 ramp. Although
there are some existing trees in this easement area, the City Engineer has
determined that trees should not be planted in a utility easement since they
restrict access to the utilities and may cause complications with the utility
lines. Therefore, trees cannot be planted on the applicant's property in
conformity with the tree regulations requiring that right-of-way trees be
within 14 feet (large) or 8 feet (small) of the right-of-way line. For
city -owned right-of-way, trees may be planted in the right-of-way with the
permission of the City Forester. The right-of-way in question is state-owned
rather than city -owned. The applicant should request permission from the Iowa
Department of Transportation (IDOT) to plant trees in the right-of-way near the
property line. If IDOT does not permit such planting, no right-of-way trees
will be required.
Additional parking areas must also comply with the City's regulations for
design of parking areas and with the tree regulations.
Compliance with the Storm Water Management Ordinance was deferred at the time
of approval of the temporary structures until the construction of a permanent
addition. The LSNRD plan submitted conforms with all the applicable regula-
tions of the Storm Water Management Ordinance and the Zoning Ordinance.
One other issue for consideration is access to the property immediately west of
the NCS property. A 50 foot street right-of-way along the south property line
to provide such access, was recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission
in 1970. However, this right-of-way was not included in the Council -approved
LSNRD plan at that time. Currently, there is an informal agreement between NCS
and the property owner to the west (John Grolmus et al) which permits access
across the NCS parking lot to a gravel drive leading to the Grolmus property.
More recently, at the time of discussions relating to the lift station serving
NCS and properties east of Highway 1, general discussions included a proposed
60 foot access easement to the Grolmus property adjacent to the northern NCS
property line. This proposed access easement, shown on the amended LSNRD plan,
is largely in the Rapid Creek floodway. The Iowa Department of Water, Air and
3
Waste Management (IDWAWM) in general does not permit any fill or construction
in the floodway. A road could therefore not be constructed at the proposed
location. The City and NCS recognize the need to resolve the problem of an
appropriate location for a road. NCS wishes to study the effect of alternative
locations for the road on its future development plans.
Staff recommends deferral of the amended preliminary and final Large Scale
Non -Residential Development plan for National Computer Systems; upon resolution
of the deficiencies and discrepancies noted below, staff recommends approval of
the amended LSNRD.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
1. Floodway and 100 -year floodplain of Rapid Creek not shown.
2. Future road right-of-way must be located out of floodway.
3. Agreement providing for the future dedication of right-of-way is needed.

PRESALE ANALYSIS
$3,855,000 PARKING SYSTEM REVENUE BONDS
CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA
JOHNSON COUNTY, IOWA
Proposed Sale Date: October 16, 1985
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendations and arrangements for the Bond sale have been
developed by Evensen Dodge, Inc., after consultation with City
Finance Director, Rosemary Vitosh, concerning the City's need for
refunding the Series 1978 Parking Facilities Revenue Bonds. Mr.
Ken Haynie, Bond Counsel to the City of Iowa City, was consulted
on legal matters and procedures relating to the proposed sale.
The major recommendation contained herein is that the City issue
$3,855,000 of Parking System Revenue Bonds to be sold on
October 16, 1985, for the purpose described below.
PURPOSE OF THE SALE
Proceeds of this Bond sale will provide the City with the funds
to defease the City's $5,200,000 Parking Facilities Revenue
Bonds, Series 1978 (the refunded bonds). The outstanding
principal balance on the refunded bonds is $4,730,000.
The proceeds of the bonds together with approximately $150,000 of
cash provided by the City will be used to purchase securities to
fund an escrow account which will defease the old bonds. The
primary purpose of the refunding is to remove a restrictive
covenant in the bond resolution of the refunded bonds which
requires that the net revenues of the City's parking facilities
be at least 1508 of the annual debt service requirements on the
bonds. The resolution for the refunding bonds will require only
a 125% coverage requirement. Exhibit A is a debt service
schedule and savings report on the bond issue which compares the
projected debt service requirements on the refunding bonds to the
debt service on the refunded bonds. It shows that under the
assumptions used the City will achieve net savings of $60,186.
Actual interest rates on the issue may cause the savings to
diminish or become negative; however, the primary purpose of the
refunding is to remove the restrictive covenant so any savings
would be a bonus.

STRUCTURING OF THE BOND ISSUE
Several alternatives were considered and discussed with the City
finance director before reaching a final decision on the best
debt structure for this issue. The structure finally selected
provides for repayment of the debt over an eighteen year period,
as shown in Exhibit A. This term matches the maturity schedule
of the refunded bonds. The structure provides for uniform
savlings when compared to the refunded bonds.
The resolution will provide that the City may call or redeem
bonds maturing beginning in 1996 and extending to the end of the
issue. This allows the City to call 64.38 or $2,480,000 of the
$3,875,000 of principal if interest rates in the future are
lower, and the City can save interest cost by replacing the
current debt with lower cost debt. Also, investment bankers and
underwriters who bid on the bond issue will be required to submit
their bid with coupons in ascending order to minimize debt
service in the early years and optimize the potential use of the
call feature.
The bonds will be offered for sale at a discount of approximately
1.758 by provision of an underwriters discount. Iowa State
statutes permit a municipality to offer an underwriter's discount
in an amount not exceeding 28 of the bond issue size. The amount
of discount offered relates to the term and difficulty
anticipated in selling the issue. The discount permits the
successful bidder (underwriting syndicate) to purchase the bonds
with specified coupons and to reof£er the bonds at par. If no
discount were allowed, the successful bidder would have to bid a
higher coupon rate on the bonds to obtain their commission by
selling the bonds at a premium. Experience has shown that use of
the discount helps make an issue more attractive to purchasers.
RATING
The City of Iowa City currently has an "Aaa" general obligation
rating from Moody's Investors Service, Inc., the highest rating
given by Moody's. The rating on the refunded bonds is "A". The
rating on the refunded bonds is lower than the City's G.O. rating
because the security for the bonds is the revenue of the City's
parking facility rather than its tax base. We recommend that the
City also apply for a rating on the refunding bonds. While we
can make no guarantee as to the quality of the rating the City
will receive, it is essential that it be requested.

REGISTRATION
This Bond issue and the General Obligation issue to be sold the
same day will be the first in which the City has offered Bonds in
fully registered form. The City evaluated proposals from
qualified banks and trust companies in Iowa and Minnesota before
deciding to act as its own registrar on the G.O. issue and this
issue.
GENERAL MARKET CONDITIONS
A graph dated September 12, 1985, showing the movement of The
Bond Buyer's Index (BerBI) over the last two years is included witTi
this analysis and identified as Exhibit B. It demonstrates
general trends in the tax-exempt market which has been quite
strong during the summer, although rates have risen somewhat
recently. The BBI measures G.O. bond rates. Revenue bond rates
are higher than G.O. rates because of the lesser security of
revenue bonds.
If this issue were to be sold today, we believe that it would
receive a net interest rate in the range of 9.508 to 10.008.
Because of uncertainties in the market we cannot predict what the
actual rate of interest will be when the Bonds are sold on
October 16.

City of Iowa City
MEMORANDUM
Date: September 19, 1985
To: Members of the City Council
From:AJim Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator
Re: Disposition of Parcel C
The City Council has indicated a willingness to sell Parcel C in the Lower
Ralston Creek Area. Parcel C, as you know, is one of six parcels which
remained after the completion of the Lower Ralston Creek Improvement Project
about three years ago (see attached location map): Because the land was
acquired with COBG funds under the provisions of Chapter 403 (the "Urban
Renewal Law") of the Iowa Code, its disposition is governed by federal
regulations and Chapter 4 ence, the competitive bidding procedures which
will be followed.
The resolution on the September 24 City Council agenda authorizes bids to be
received until October 28, 1985. It fixes the minimum bid at $27,000 which
is based on a 1982 appraisal. The City Council will consider all bids at a
November 19 public hearing. A prospectus and bid packet will be available in
the City Clerk's office on September 25.
The prospectus provides that Parcel C may be developed for any use that
conforms with its present CI -1 (intensive commercial) zoning classification.
In response to staff and City Council concerns about building encroachments
along the creek, the prospectus states that a 20 foot wide easement, parallel
to Ralston Creek, will be retained by the City.
If you have any questions concerning the disposition of Parcel C, please let
me know.

the right to remove the steps following five (5) days prior

Mr. Doug Boothroy
Director of Housing and Inspection Services
City of Iowa City Re: Nagle/Furman Building Project
410 East Washington Street
Iowa City, Iowa 52240 510 South Clinton
Dear Mr. Boothroy:
In response to your request, we have prepared a brief explanation of the structural
building problems involved in attempting to recess the front building entry on the referenced
Project. As you are aware, the Owner has demolished and removed parts of the reinforced
concrete foundation and precast concrete panels and recessed the entryway to avoid
a similar condition at the south end of the building. This was possible at that location
because the prestressed concrete floor panels (which separate the basement parking
garage from the upper three building floors) were not load bearing at that specific
location. However, along the entire front and back of the building (and at the location
under discussion) the prestressed concrete panels carry the entire exterior building
wall loading as well as the roof snow load, etc.. Prestressed concrete panels are constructed
at the manufacturing facility to a specific design based upon the original building design
and it is typically not possible to alter the loading conditions. As a result, the method
of recessing the entryway used at the south entry is not possible in this location.
i
Should you have any other questions or require additional information in this
matter, please call upon us at your convenience. Thank you.
Very truly yours,
