p Commission recommended by a vote of 6-0 approval of a
( request by Hallmark Homes, Inc., to vacate the east half of
Peterson Street right-of-way south of its extension into the
proposed Vista Park Village subdivision. It is the appli-
cant's intent to combine this 0.098 parcel with a lot in the
proposed subdivision. Staff has recommended the entire
right-of-way width of Peterson Street be vacated, finding
t no public purpose if the west 25 feet is retained as public
i right-of-way. The Commission concurred with this recommenda-
tion. On October 8, 1985, the Council conducted a public
hearing on the proposed vacation and disposition of Peterson
Street right-of-way in which extensive discussion concerned
the purchase price for the right-of-way. A purchase price
of $100 has been offered by Hallmark Homes, Inc.

ITEM N0. 12 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING RESEARCH -SERVICE FACILITIES,
WAREHOUSES AND DISTRIBUTION CENTERS AS ELIGIBLE FOR PARTIAL
EXEMPTION FROM PROPERTY TAXES. (first consideration)
Comment: This ordinance will amend the City's tax abatement
provisions to incorporate additional types of new construction
as eligible for partial property tax exemption. This is now
possible because of laws (S.F. 576 and 2043) passed by the Iowa
General Assembly expanding the original state authorization. No
comments were received at a public hearing held on October 8,
1985.
Action:
L-32152 ITEM NO. 13 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 25-2 OF THE CODE OF
ORDINANCES OF IOWA CITY AUTHORIZING THE DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND
RECREATION TO ESTABLISH TRAFFIC AND PARKING REGULATIONS IN CITY
PARKS. (second consideration)
Comment: The existing ordinance only authorizes the Director to
designate parking areas. Because of the heavy use of the
parking area in Terrill Mill Park by residents of a nearby
apartment complex, it is desirable that time limits be placed bn
parking so as to allow for some turnover of parking places for
park users. A number of complaints from potential park users
citing the unavailability of parking spaces have been received
recently. This amendment will provide sufficient authority to
the Director of Parks and Recreation to more appropriately
regulate all aspects of parking within the City's parks.
