Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding. Councilmembers Present: Neuhauser, Dickson, Lynch, Perret, McDonald, Erdahl. Absent: Balmer. Staff Present: Berlin, Helling, Karr, Jansen, Hauer, Schmeiser, Hayek. . Tape Recorded: Reel N83-42, Side 1 and Side 2, 1 -End; Reel #83-C43, Side' 1, 1-157. Agenda Neuhauser said that Shamrock/Arbor area storm drainage scheduled for 9:00 will be deferred until next Monday. Hotel Agreement. Dr. Harry Johnson, the hotel developer, showed the Council design changes and modifications from last week's presentation, including 1) widening of the pedestrian walkway to at least 27 feet, 2) heightening of the pedestrian walkway to 17 feet, 3) recessing the entrances and provision of two pocket doors, and 4) covering of the ten foot exterior walkway with glass. These changes meet hha Hntel lZfaaring c mmi+too concerns The hotel a Holiday Inn International because this name is limited to areas near major international airports and are hotels with 400 rooms or more. Johnson stated this hotel will surpass most Holiday Inns in quality. Holiday Inn was selected because of its superior reservation referral system. Johnson said that a person standing by the Governor Lucas fountain will be I• able to look through the glass -enclosed lobby and see Burlington Street. In answer to a question from the public, Neuhauser explained the hotel lot was designed to allow separate development of the hotel and the proposed depart- ment store. Richard Hansen (Hansen Lind Meyer Architects) said the hotel will decrease j the value of Plaza Centre One because of a loss of visual and functional amenities. He estimated the loss at $2 million. Hansen complained the process of approving the construction of the hotel has ignored many important mints: blockage of Dubuque Street, lack of access to a major pedestrian element to the downtown, shading of City Plaza, reduction of the value of the property to the east of the hotel, and the undesirability of stucco for the hotel. Joyce Summerwill said the public and the Council haven't had suffi- cient information or time to approve this hotel design. John Hayek said that because of pending idgisial iun, iRB furtdiny fur iii is project will be difficult or impossible after December 31, 1983. The UDAG grant to the City could also be threatened by undue delays. Hayek said the entire financing of the project would change if there is a delay past the end of December. Hayek said that the contract with UDAG requires construction of ■ . r; a specific number of hotel rooms, etc. Hansen said that he was told that line items contained in the UDAG could not be changed. Hauer responded that problems occur when line items are changed. She said line item changes are not prohibited but could affect the grant amount. Additional costs would have to be borne entirely by the developer. Erdahl said the hotel is in a good location. The developer's architect noted in Minneapolis and St. Paul that stucco exteriors stand up to the elements in spite of the great variations in temperature. He said commercial uses of the stucco did not have the settling problems associated with residential stucco use. Stucco also allows for a lighterweight building exterior. The Hotel Steering Committee felt that a change from brick used in many downtown buildings was appropriate for a major addition to downtown. An access easement east of the hotel parcel will be provided and will also be used by the parcel adjacent to the hotel. It will be the developer's responsibility to maintain the exterior walkway to the west. The developer's architect reviewed the pedestrian exterior and interior walkway design plans. Perret said he believes the hotel will be a great success. Erdahl said while he is not satisfied with every detail of the design, he will vote for the hotel as a whole. Lynch asked Hansen if a substantial portion of his complaint about the hotel stemmed from the limitations to access to parking. Hansen admitted that it is a big issue. Lynch said in spite of long-term parking problems in Iowa City, a new hotel will make a better downtown.
