Comment: This resolution would award the bid to the McComas-Lacina Con- structionlCompany of Iowa City, Iowa. A bid tabulation is at- E tached. The low bid price!is $289,890.

It was moved by Miller, seconded by Franklin, to approve the minutes of the meeting held on August 3, 1978. The motion passed unan- imously. Chairman Kohl opened the meeting for discussion of any old business. Staff member Siders pointed out that the Council has set a public hearing da to of: September 12, 1978 to consider an amendment to the Uniform Building Code reducing the light area of kitchens from the present 10% to 3%. Siders indicated that this amendment had been presented to the Council previously with the Board's recommendation to'require 'a O% light for kitchen areas` which was voted upon and turned down at the third reading. It was mentioned by Siders that the Council was going to reconsider this amendment and urged any board member who wished to speak on this amendment to attend the Sept- ember 12th. public hearing. Chairman Kohl addressed the board members and statedthat effective i October 6; 1978 due to his retirement, he could no longer participate in any of the Board's activities., He suggested that all members be in attendance at the next board meeting for the election of a new chairman I and vice chairman. Staff member Siders commented that he was going to check with the Legal Department to see what proceedings would be necessary to terminate,board ++ member Frantz fromtheBoard of Appeals. Siders indicated that board member Frantz has not attended a meeting for approximately the last year {{ { and wished to vacate the position so a new member could be chosen by the City Council. Staff member Siders addressed the memorandums sent to the Iowa City Housing Commission suggesting some possible changes to the !lousing Maintenance and Occupancy Code. 'Siders indicated to ,the Board that he had not yet received any response to either of the two memorandums sent to the commission.° There being no further old business or new business Chairman Kohl opened discussion for the appeal of 332 E.

Chairman Kohl indicated that by 'reading the copy of the letter that was in his appeal packet he was uncertain as to exactly what Mr. Glasgow was appealing. ` Staff member Bowlin asked for the floor to present to the Board some evidence that the window situation in the Davis Building was in fact a hazardous situation: Mr. Bowlinented r s e o P t the Board Mr. Dennis Kraft 1 and asked Mr. Kraft several questions pertaining to the situation of the ' � windows in the Davis Building. to utld' g• Mr; Kraft, speaking as a tenant of the Davis Building, gave several comments and remarked that he had in fact seen an entire window blow out ' of the Davis Building and nearly strike a pedestrian walking on the City right of way on the exterior of the building. Mr. Kraft also indicated that windows had blown out on several occasions, mostly during storms, , and whenever a wind situation arises in his own office he frequently moves away from the window in fear that the glass may blow in and injure himself. Mr'. Kraft offered several pieces of evidence to indicate that the windows in! the Davis Building were in his opinion a hazardous condition. Mrr. Bowlin then asked staff member Siders some questions relating to the results of the f inspection Mr. Siders made on the butlding. I Siders commented by saying that several panes of glass were loose at the �,. time of the inspection and in his opinion were in immediate need of repair. Siders also indicated that because some areas of the building are unoccupied ++ and locked off, an inspection of all windows was not able to be made how- ever the'majority of the windows that were inspected in the building utldi P n were 9 found to be in a bad condition. Staff member Bowlin then presented to the Board two exhibits which are denoted as A and B. Exhibit A shows the staff report to the Board'of Appeals, i -shows a copy of a letter dated ed June 27th. to Washington Park Inc. citingthe , violation, also shows a letter dated August 3, 1978 which is a request for f an appeal by Mr. Glasgow. It shows a copy of a letter dated August 18, 1978 to Mr. Glasgow indicating the time and date of the appeal hearing and also includes a tentative agenda. Exhibit B is a copy of Ordinance '77-2860'which is an ordinance adopting the 1976 edition of the Uniform Code for the Abate- ment of Dangerous Buildings. I 1 Chairman Kohl asked if there were any other individuals who wished to speak on the Board. Mr. Glasgow, not being present and having no one there to represent him, Chairman Kohl then asked for comments from the Board members. Board member Miller indicated that there was no doubt in his mind that the windows were in a dangerous condition and should be corrected. ! Chairman Kohl asked if there was any further discussion on this appeal. There being none Chairman Kohl asked for a motion. It was moved by; Franklin, seconded by Miller that because Mr. Glasgow did not show or have any repre- sentation at the appeals meeting, it would be the determination that Mr. Glasgow has chosen to waive his right to an appeal. The motion carried unanimously. '. MICROFILMED BY . .

Mn Nagle showed the Committee a model of the hotel development and discussed the development' plans. Mr. Nagle explained that the hotel was designed to be somewhat reminiscent of "Old Iowa City". The exterior materials will be red brick, and bronze anodized aluminom will be used for door and window trim. He explained the general layout of the hotel. The kitchen and service area is located in the one story portion of the structure and ,will :be serviced from the alleyway located on hotel tj property' adjacent to the parking ramp. There was considerable discussion about the parking ramp, and the, appearance that the parking ramp would present to hotel patrons. The Committee was concerned that the parking ramp be the I t constructed'in such a way that glare, light, and noise from the parking ramp did not adversely impact the hotel site.: There was discussion about whether i or not the north wall of the parking ramp should be a solid wall rather than an open wall. i Lafore questioned the architect regarding the balance of the facade and suggested that the arched windows might not be used. Mr: Nagle explained that he felt that the,arched windows were very important to, the design theme he had tried to ecarrY our. There was discussion regarding the height of the parapet above th top of the arched windows. Mr. Nagle indicated that this parapet wall would be raised giving better balance to the upper facade. There was discussion about the use of a vertical line from the end of the arched windows down tying � better. Mr. Nag each segment of the facade together Lle indicated he would look ,i at this as a possibility but indicated that he did not think that it would be i, particularly desirable.

The Downtown Association held a meeting on Tuesday; October 10; 1978, which was attended by Dale Melling, Gene Dietz, and Paul Glaves. The meeting was called to discuss with the City a general dissatisfaction with the conduct and progress of the City Plaza construction project. There was considerable discussion', in which J. the work on City, Plaza was unfavorably comparedtothe work which was previously completed on'Wa'shington Street. There was also �. considerable discussion regarding an apparent lack of communication between the contractor or the City, and the College and Dubuque Street,merchants. A rumor had circulated that the bricklayers were leaving town prior to the completion of the sidewalk areas. There'.was also dis- satisfaction expressed that the bricklayers would not proceed to complete laying the brick in the center, portion of the Plaza, , between the sidewalk areas.' We explained to the merchants the deadline dates as established in the contract for construction: .. ; (1),-.7he_herringbone-brick (the ten feet adjacent the buildings) p' i must be-instal1ed by - November =1,-1978 (2) The balance of the construction must be completed by the -end of 175 ,working days; except, ' (3) The plant materials must all be installed by June 1, 1979. Of the allowed 175 working days, 94k working days had been used as of October 6, 1978. 2. Paul Glaves and Gene Dietz explained in detail the major dif-, ferences between the construction techniques necessary to ,construct 1 Washington Street and necessary to construct City Plaza and stated that in our judgment the projects were not directly comparable. Following considerable discussion it was agreed, however, that the contractor must keep each merchant informed concerning work which will take place and effect his or her store. Gene Dietz indicated that he would discuss this matter again with the contractor to make sure that the requirements are clearly understood and adhered to. i N141CROFILMED BY ...

It was agreed that where neces- sary additional crosswalks would be installed and maintained in order to ease this problem. Several other suggestions were made by individual merchants: (1) It was suggested that the City should re-establish the public relations staff position because the public relations work done during the Washington Street project had been very successful. (2), It was suggested that litter problems were being caused primarily by night users of the municipal parking lot and that the City should consider charging for parking in the municipal lot on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, and should use these revenues to ,pay for downtown clean-up. This suggestion has been referred back to the Downtown Association for its con- sideration and advice. 3. It was suggested that the City require the contractor to have more people on the job so that the construction can be 'completed sooner. Gene Dietz explained that the City's requirements were already spelled out in the contract and could not be modified at this time. a 4. There was additional discussion regarding several other items of - V - concern. The snow fences which have been placed to protect the public safety were extensively discussed. The representatives of the City staff could not explain) n detail how much fencing might E be-requiredduring:the:winter._ Fencing- requirements -'cannot be € determined until .it is known how much progress can be made.prioe to a winter shut=down:of the--construction:'-•The treatment. of pedes— trian edesRtrian crossing points between the areas already bricked, and the' ! treatment of the sidewalk area around the North Bay Construction', i Company development site were discussed. Glaves explained that the City would not require the brick sidewalk to be in around this construction because' the City did not want to install brick in,a` location where it would necessarily have to be removed and replaced during the construction of the building. It was explained that when construction ceases for the winter, cold -mixed asphalt will be installed for pedestrian crossings and around the North Bay j Construction site to provide a good walking surface and to make p snow removal possible. There was considerable discussion regarding the fact that the sidewalk between the alley and Washington Street, on the west side s, of Dubuque Street has been blocked' by vault construction work. It was explained by Gene Dietz that unexpected conditions had been encountered and that the wall between the vault and the building had to be reinforced prior to filling the vault. The problem was compounded because a waterline needed to be, replaced and, the work was taking longer than anticipated: V 141CRorILMED BY i.

One of the merchants responded that the Top - It -Off shop had been closed for two or three days. Gene Dietz . explained that his understanding was that the store had arranged with the contractor to close those days in order to do interior f remodeling at the same time that the work was going on outside. It is our understanding that no store has been forced to close for - more than very brief periods due to lack of access. There was considerable discussion regarding the removal of the modulars. It was explained that three businesses have not yet'_ found replacement locations. The status of the removal of the modulars which are now vacant was explained: Public Works has been trying to obtain bids for the removal of five units which are to be moved to the City Service Building. The Development Division staff is preparing to place the other three ;,vacant modulars on the market for sale and removal ,by,the purchasers. 5. The issues regarding, more effective communication and better temporary upkeep to ease pedestrian circulation have been discussed by the City-Engineer'withlthe"contractor. These specific problems have in, my,judgment'been resolved. The general dissatisfaction ' with the pace of the prole iunfortunate, but unavoidable. The ' ct 's „ a contractor is entitled to, 175 working days to complete the project, jj under the terms of his contract with the City.

'I believe that a parking prohibition on the approaches to this alley is not needed at this time. Parking prohibition for the easterly alley is desirable at this time due to a reduced sight distance caused by the crest of Court Street at its intersection with Clinton Street., Vehicles on Court Street which are westbound are assuming the next point of side friction to be the Madison Street intersection Typically, vehicleswestbound on Court Street will exercise a turning movement at the intersection of Court Street and Madison Street. 'Therefore, when they pass the k Clinton Street -Court Street intersection, drivers tend to focus on the Madison Street -Court Street intersection as the next point of potential conflict. This condition does not exist at the westerly alley. Additionally, the sight distance to the east is much improved at the westerly alley. Drivers attempting to exit onto Court Street from the westerly alley have a good view of traffic coming from the east due to he downhill grade -in of Court Street. The westerly alley will require on-going review to monitor changing conditions which may necessitate the installation of a parking pro- hibition near the returns of this alley.

Propose closing Melrose Court'at Myrtle. 2. Send a letter to all residents in this area advising them of proposed Council action and, providing a stamped, self-addressed envelope asking them for their opinion. This is done to determine true opinions without the pressure of a petition influencing their decision. 3. It is anticipated that the residents will be almost unanimously in favor of the closing. 4. Allocate funds, if available, to widen Byington Avenue to two lanes. I The rationale for closing Melrose Court is that the high volume of traffic is totally inconsistent with the extremely narrow width of the street. If the City is to be able to protect residential areas, we must maintain a good arterial street system.' Public Works would ask Council to think of our arterial street system as a system. The City has recently strangled the traffic capacity on two streets in town; namely, Dluscatine Avenue (Width kept at 31 feet) and Seventh Avenue (unwarranted stop signs installed). I understand traffic matters of this type are sensitive issues.

Propose closing Melrose Court'at Myrtle. 2. Send a letter to all residents in this area advising them of proposed Council action and, providing a stamped, self-addressed envelope asking them for their opinion. This is done to determine true opinions without the pressure of a petition influencing their decision. 3. It is anticipated that the residents will be almost unanimously in favor of the closing. 4. Allocate funds, if available, to widen Byington Avenue to two lanes. I The rationale for closing Melrose Court is that the high volume of traffic is totally inconsistent with the extremely narrow width of the street. If the City is to be able to protect residential areas, we must maintain a good arterial street system.' Public Works would ask Council to think of our arterial street system as a system. The City has recently strangled the traffic capacity on two streets in town; namely, Dluscatine Avenue (Width kept at 31 feet) and Seventh Avenue (unwarranted stop signs installed). I understand traffic matters of this type are sensitive issues.

The structure would be provided grass cover, small shrubs, and other plant material, The embankment will be designed as a dry bottom facility, � commonly referred to as a "dry dam." This means that during dry yl i periods, or even periods of normal run-off, water would not be detained, and the hydrologic conditions of Ralston Creek would I r be unaffected.

An additional 85 acres of uncontrolled watershed exists between the proposed dam location and Rochester Avenue. Effectiveness of the North Branch Ralston, Creek detention project would be enhanced with the provision of a low head weir located in Hickory Hill Park 1 as indicated on Figure 1. The weir would be constructed of gabions (wire baskets containing rocks) which would appear as a short rock lIJ( wall on the adjacent stream banks. This wall would form a con- i j striction in the stream channel, causing a temporary backup of flood water a few feet deep.

PROJECT GOAL r The goal of the Ralston Creek North Branch detention facilities r ' r••I is to reduce the rate of flood flows downstream of the project area. � I Under existing run-off conditions and based upon preliminary hydrologic computations, implementation of the proposed detention project would lower projected rural or rural equivalent North Branch 100 -year storm flows at Jefferson Street from 3,500 cubic feet per second (cfs) to 1,400 cfs, a 40percent reduction The North Branch detention facili- a ili- c i l� ties ties will effectively reduce peak flows resulting from storms having a duration in excess of two hours which produce run-off in excess of channel capacities. Reduction rates attributed to this project r would be greater at points closer to the project and diminish at I Jpoints downstream, as the proportion of run-off from the uncontrolled, I� urbanized areas of the watershed becomes greater. � i The Noith Branchembankment and weir are but one necessary element f �wj 4� of an overall program of diminishing the harmful effects and', flood damage attributed to the Ralston Creek system. Project implementation will directly benefit all inhabitants of the Ralston Creek flood plain, I including those having low and medium incomes. Indirectly, the entire population of Iowa City will benefit by reduced flood loss, Jreduced traffic interruption (including emergency vehicles), and the - I elimination of the adverse influence which the threat of flooding cur- t Jrently renders upon the development potential of the affected area. }1{ 1 The City Council of Iowa City has given high priority to solving J the Ralston Creek flood problems.'

Topography: The North Branch watershed, upstream from Rochester Avenue, consists of 3.01 square miles of hilly terrain with pronounced slopes to the creek and its smaller tributaries. Slope grades exceed 25 percent in some, rj instances, but the usual valley sides slope between 10 and I 20 percent. A panoramic view of the project area is shown J as Photograph 1. The entire watershed area is rolling and is absent of any flat upland plateaus or wide flood plain i floor areas. This hilly, while not rugged, terrain enhances the scenic interest of the area and its attractiveness to f future residential developers. `r b. Hydrologic Conditions: Flows of the North Branch are recorded at a permanent gauge at Rochester; Avenue, approxi - pproxi-mately mat ely2,500 feet downstream from the proposed earth embank- ment. Table 2 contains selected flow information for the Rochester Avenue location between October, 1965, and September, 1977. 1 Mean daily discharges ranged from a high of 4.28 1 �J cubic feet per second (cfs) in 1973-74 to 0.67 cfs in -� the recently concluded water year. The recent 3 -year period of unusually low rainfall is further reflected by 1 J ; the relatively high number of dry stream days, in which no flows were recorded.

These',are the primary habitats of concern which would be subject to periodic inundation. A description of each of the major habitat types found in the project area follows. L✓ (1) Forest (a) Oak -Hickory - The first of the major forest types i+ 1i present in the project area is the oak -hickory forest. The upland oak -hickory association is usually found on well -drained uplands and south or west facing slopes. Figure 2 indicates the i a locations of this 'forest type within Hickory Hill Y Park, near the site of the proposed embankment F r and impoundment area. Dominant tree species in i these two areas of upland forest include shagbark �.. ' f hickory Car a ovata), shellbark hickory (C laciniosa), white oak(Quercus alba), and bur oak macrocarpa). 1 Other tree species which can be found include red oak (q borealis), pin oak palustris), bitternut v hickoryCara cordiformis), pignut hickory (C. `J labra), hackberry Celtis'occidentalis), and black —, cherry (Prunus serotina). The understudy layer is abundant in this type' 1 of dry upland forest. Species such as ironwood (Ostrya virginiana), American hazelnut (Cor lus americana), gooseberry (Ribes spp.), raspberry i 7276 it MICROFILMED BY 'Y JORM MICR+LAB I CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES ij1 wOI'1LMILU BY JORM bUCROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS MUIHL>, nw. Y i (Rubus spp.), slippery elm (Ulmus rubra), and black cherry dominate the shrub layer. yl [; I -•i (b) Flood Plain Forest - The other forest type that / }'} r••i exists on,the projected site is the mixed flood 1 Iii plain forest. As indicated on Figure 2, this f h,. habitat type borders ralston'Creek and its tributaries. The most important members of this � flood forest plain are trees such as box elder (Acer negundo), silver maple (Acer saccharinum), `- honey locust (Gleditsia triacanothos), red mulberry rI r1 (Morus rubra), black willow (Salix nigra), cotton- wood (Po ulus deltoides), and river birch (Betula nigra). Photograph 2 shows an example of a flood plain forest. The understory of the flood plain forest in i j Li the vicinity of the North Branch Ralston Creek '; exhibits a high degree of variability. Some por- tions of flood plain forest are relatively devoid of understory vegetation, while other tracts show `- a dense understory growth. This variability can be attributed to differences in former agricultural practices in the area and differences in intensity � 1 and duration of flooding. For example, a forested area that was used as pasture will exhibit a sparse u understory in comparison with a forested area that E 7276 12 7 micaor ILMEO By JORM MICR+LAB !

The understory, where I 1 was not } r - it does exist, can include such species as hawthorn !f I (Crataegus spp•), dogwood (Cornus spp•), and elderberry Sambucus canadensis). (2) Brush I -i (a) Riparian - Riparian (streamside) brush parallels portions of Ralston Creek and its tributaries, i Jas shown in Figure 2. Under natural conditions, the riparian brush community is frequently LJ". flooded; as a result, water tolerant shrubs are I� common. Hawthorn, dogwood, honeysuckle (Lonicera spp•), roses Rosa gip.), American plum (Prunus americana), and willows Salix spp•) are often ! '., -� encountered in the riparian brush communities of x ' Hickory Hill Park and adjacent areas. Photograph 3 depicts a riparian brush habitat. i (b) Upland — The upland brush community (see Photographs 4, 5 and 6) exists as a transitional phase between i open and forested areas. Shrubs of this habitat 1 L type include young invading tree species as well as existing shrub species that normally do not V tree size.

I ,.. (3) Open Areas I(a) Lowland- The open areas, indicated on Figure 2, are of relatively minor importance in relation to @ the project. Lowland open areas upstream from t the proposed embankment are located mainly in the southwestern tributary toLi the North Branch. Vegeta- N. tion in this habitat consists primarily of sedges. and grasses as shown in Photograph 7. Grassy,low i of land areas, which are subject to frequent mowing, ^� exist downstream from the proposed embankment. (b)Upland - These open habitats are either mowed � i fields on Regina School lands or former pasture and cropland that have been allowed to revert to natural conditions in Hickory Hill Park. As a whole, the project area provides a great deal of habitat diversity. Hickory Hill Park, in particular, is an area inwhich a variety of habitats has been allowed to exist in close proximity to one another, is publicly jjj J owned, and is easily accessible to the residents of Iowa City. Some of these habitats, such as the upland brush I community, are fairly uncommon in Iowa due to their !_ transitive nature and the overall predominance of agricul- I ture, in the state.

The currently anticipated i maximum pond of 59.5 acres would occuply less than five acres of cropland. Urban development exists west and south of the project i area and is comprised largely of single family residences. n b. Utility Services: Developed areas south and west of the LJj project area are provided water supply, sanitary sewers, solid waste collection and disposal,, and related urban services by Iowa City.

Air and Noise Quality: Air monitoring facilities for -sus- pended particulates and sulfur dioxide are located at the Medical Laboratory Building of the University of Iowa. In f . J 1975, the annual geometric mean of suspended p particulates for I Iowa City was 66 microgramsper cubic meter, which is in compliance with the national primary standard of 75 micro- � I...t F ; grams per cubic meter.

Because of the undeveloped or residential nature of the proposed project area and environs, the air and noise environment can be regarded as free of polluting sources: Air quality readings at the University of Iowa monitor can in Ralston be considered representative of air quality the r-1 i Creek project area. Ambient noise levels in this agricultural/ LJ residential area could be expected to range between 50 and LJj 65 dBA (L 10 ) during daylight hours. 1 d.

PROJECT INITIATED ENVIRONMENT ALTERATIONS r 1. Soil: With earth as the predominating construction material, soil conditions at the proposed borrow site will be substantially j j changed. It is presently anticipated that final grading of j hIthe proposed borrow site would be performed to the desired r specifications of Regina School's officials, and school require- ' I I-1 ments will be determined during negotiations for land acquisi- tion., If it is determined that new construction will not take _ place in'the borrow site immediately after removal of material, j N' J the site will be finish graded with topsoil and seeded to minimize � I'! soil erosion. Embankment sides will be seeded with grass ,species and � Q provided with other vegetation to prevent erosion of the slopes. f I{ Silt transport ,:ntterns will be unaltered in the watershed i during normal flows, since the impoundment will be of the dry bottom type. When detention of water occurs, the settling of u silt on inundated lands is expected to take place. A large share Of this silt will normally be returned to the creek and trans- ported downstream by run-off from subsequent rainfalls. r-� I� 2. Slopes and Grades: The most significant impact on existing grades resulting from the proposed project would be at the embankment site itself. °-1 Terrain modification at the gabion weir site will be minimal. Slopes and grades within the upstream watershed will not be changed. 7276 24 MICROFILMED BY - 'I JORM MICR6LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES.

''[ As previously mentioned, substantial alterations of grade r will be performed at the proposed borrow site. Itis anticipated, that this excavation will be of no significant or adverse impact f � to this grassy area and that this activity, when performed to the � specifications of the landowners (Regina Schools), could be con - LlLl sidered beneficial from the school's point of view. i 3. Surface Water and Drainage Channels: Channel alignment of Ralston Creek will not be modified as a part of this project except, possibly, in the immediate vicinity of the inlet and outlet. The major impact to surface water would be that associated r•y with the project purpose: reduction of flood damage downstream. This benefit to the urbanized areas in the Ralston Creek watershed' is expected to offset the insignificant, but nonetheless present tiadverse impacts associated with the proposed project. j 64 4.

Air Quality: During the period of construction, heavy earth moving equip- Ei ment will add automotive pollutants (particulates, nitrous oxides, and hydrocarbons) to the atmosphere. Impacts to the nearest _ ...residential area (now under construction immediately south of the 1 proposed borrow area) is expected to be minimal, though likely Wf I perceived, during excavation activities. These temporary activities are not expected to violate the Federal' Clean Air Act, state health i I —, regulations, or local ordinances. After construction there will be no impactor degradation to i air quality. 6. Noise Quality: , During construction activities, noises from heavy excava- tion equipment will create nuisance potential to the residential area now under construction south of the project site. Construc- tion equipment described in Section A under full load can produce. short reports of noise as loud as 90 to 100 decibels at a distance vof 50 feet from the source. Because noise levels of this intensity, E I, even of periods of 15 seconds or less, are normally considered to, L . be a nuisance within residential areas, construction activities _ i 7276 29 p 141CROFILMED BY d.55 .

Water Quality: j I From a biological and chemical standpoint, the project will _I have no measureable direct impacts on water quality except for I possible construction relatedturbidity. The most significant indirect impact on water quality from this project will be the reduction of flood related surface water degradation in downstream'urban'areas. J 8.- Relationship to Land Use Plans: The Comprehensive Plan for Iowa City was recently adopted following exhaustive studies and analyses by the Department of , Community Development and after substantial public input by i citizens. The plan envisions the moderate expansion of Hickory 24 Hill'Park and eventual residential development of the Ralston Creek basin upstream from the proposed project area. Residential' development would be accompanied by the establishment of school f" sites, neighborhood parks, and neighborhood commercial areas ` intended to serve the newly developing area. Much of this growth y IMy is anticipated to occur within the next twenty years. The location of the proposed impoundment basin is on land si �— designated as existing or future planned public/semipublic open "1 space.

PROJECT ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED During the ongoing course of the Ralston Creek Watershed Manage- ment Plan studies, several alternative concepts for relieving urban flood damage have',been considered. Structural concepts being <� analyzed include rechannelization or major channel modification, establishment of diversion canals or tunnels which would bypass flood flows from the downtown area, and upstream detention coupled with less extensive channel improvements. The structural concept of upstream detention has been determined as being cost effective, least intrusive to area residents, and most easily implemented from LJ a legal and administrative standpoint. Remaining structural concepts have been rejected.; Nonstructural flood protection concepts are also being considered, both alone and in conjunction with structural alternatives. These nonstructural concepts include relocation of flood plain structures, 1 t continued reliance on flood insurance, and flood proofing. / Specific alternatives to the proposed construction of a dry dam L..i and gabion weir, at',the locations shown on Figure l which were con- i sidered but not selected include: (1) construction of a single dry dam approximately 1,100 feet downstream from the proposed embankment � site and (2) do nothing. A wet bottom impoundment (having a permanent I I pool) was not considered at either location because of the inappropriate ' LI appearance of a dam designed to maintain`a pool in the natural setting of the area and because the pond itself would permanently destroy a l I 1 _ 7276 32 f 141CROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB '. :.

Further descrip- tion of the two more viable alternatives follows: 1. Embankment at a Downstream Location: j An earthen embankment of similar size and type as that of the ' �i proposed project was considered at a location approximately 1,100 feet downstream largely within Hickory Hill Park. This alternative was ruled out because it would have a much greater impact upon the highly utilized portion of the park, an impact which the Parks and Recreation Commission and the City Council chose to avoid. Also, a portion of the privately owned land which the structure I would occupy could not be acquired by the'city and has since been subdivided into single family residential lots. 2. Do Nothing: No flood detention would be provided on the North Branch I of Ralston Creek. Rather than storing water in a detention basin, as proposed, water would continue to be stored on developed land areas of the downstream Ralston Creek flood plain.' I This alternative was rejected because to do nothing would not minimize flood damage along Ralston Creek. 1 7276 33 a I I t41CROf1L14EO BY � " JORM MICR4?LAE3 CEDAR RAPIDS •.

PLANNED TO MINIMIZE ADVERSEIMPACTS jAll adverse impacts associated with the proposed project are '. .minor, and some can be further minimized by mitigative measures,' —1 operational policies, or compensation. Specific adverse impacts and steps planned to minimize hardship are described below. 1. Noise Quality: Noise from excavation equipment will be a possible nuisance to nearby residents during construction, especially at the proposed borrow site. Restricting operation of heavy equipment ?' to daylight hours will minimize inconvenience. 2. Lose or Damage to Habitat and Open Space Value: As described in the preceding section, the embankment will i.j occupy a small land area resulting in permanent habitat alters— tion. Areas upstream subjected to inundation will experience �•4. temporary habitat damage and inaccessibility by humans. i l d acquisition of These adverse impacts can be mitigate b y the ac 4 I , additional adjacent open space by the city. While such acquisi— tion would not nullify the minor adverse impacts associated - with the proposed project, the purchase of additional lands would ` I protect the area from urban encroachment and maintain the fff recognized value of Hickory Hill Park as a natural area, i Y. 7276 34 MICROFILMED BY ii) JORM ' M1CR+LAO �.

Archaeologist of the University of Iowa con- tracted with the City of Iowa City on April S, 1978, to conduct a cultural resource survey of the proposed sites of the North and South Branch Deten- eten-tion.Units, tion Units,Ralston Creek. This study is areport of the survey and an L evaluation of the impact on the cultural resources within the proposed project area. -.Description of the Projects QThe proposed projects consist of two storm water detention units, one to be 'located on the north branch, the other on the south branch, of Ralston G._i 'Creek at the eastern boundary of Iowa City, Johnson County, Iowa. The South i Branch Detention Unit will consist of two earthen detention embank- ments, associated emergency spillways and borrow area. The North Branch I �J Detention Unit will.involve one earthei,'detention embankment, an emergency spillway and borrow area. The proposed', detention structures would serve to detain Ei water only during periods of abnormally high rainfall. Under these circumstances water would be impounded to form short duration flood pools which would be drained within 48 hours. During dryperiods or periods o% Jnormal runoff, no detention or ponding of water would occur (Stanley Consult- ants 1978). The proposed South Branch Detention Unit is located on the J south branch of Ralston Creek in the NU, of Section 18, and the S� of Section 7, R. SW., T. 79N., Scott Township, Johnson County, Iowa (Fig. 1). The pro- i posed North Branch Detention Unit is located on the north branch of Ralston Creek in the N� of Sections 11 and 12 and the 24 of Sections 1'and 2, R. 6W.1 u ' I MICROFILMED BY DORM MICR+LAB ' '..CEDAR RAPIDS ..• DES MOINES 41iw<Ur iLi4Lu BY JURM 141CROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND UES 'MIND, -2- T. 79N., East Lucas Township, Johnson County, Iowa (Fig. 1). Environmental Setting ' t , � The project areas are situated on the Southern ,Iowa . Drift Plain (Fig. 2). In southeastern Iowa this terrain; "consists of flat, table -like uplands with steep, hilly land occurring only near the margins of stream. valleys. Thee. amount of level bottom land along, streams is small by comparison with the. extensive area of upland," (Prior 1976:45). Exposure to stream erosion, weathering processes, soil development and loess deposition since the end of Kansan time have modified the original glacial till toproduce ..efficient dendritic drainage patterns. These characteristic drainage systems, in turn, "account for the land's rolling' dissected appearance and the absence of land- forms which reflect their glacial heritage," (Prior 1976:46-46). The rolling i L or undulating terrain of the Ralston Creek drainage grades into the river bottom land along the Iowa River about four to six milesdownstream from the r project areas. i v - i Within the Ralston Creek watershed a generalized section of soils and geology contains surface soils, loess, glacial till and bedrock. The sur - face soils are predominantly Fayette silt loam (78X) with smaller amounts of the Chaseburg-Nodaway complex, Iowa silt loam, Radford silt loam, Tama silty clay loam, Colo -Ely complex and Downs silt loam. Loess, a deposit of rel - i atively uniform wind-blown silts and sands, forms a nearly uniform blanket in which the surface soils have developed. In the upper portions of the I({ watershed, these deposits are up to 30 feet in thickness. "Glacial tills underlie the loess deposits and are a miscellaneous mixture of boulders sands, pebbles and clay -size particles, deposited up to 100 feet in thick- # ness by the retreating glaciers" (Powers and Associates 1978:49). Cedar i Valley limestone of Devonian age constitutes the bedrock underlying the { na 4 glacial till.

The native flora of the project areas originally consisted of rolling i -forest or undulating tall -grass prairie interspersed with mixed. prairie (Figs. � u� 3 and 4). Presently, the North Branch and the South Branch Detention Units differ significantly in their vegetational cover. Agricultural row crops - 1 ,a Li corn and soybeans -are the predominant form of .vegetation in the south branch watershed. The approximate remaining 10% of the agricultural lands are in `.; pasture or broadcast fodder crops (Fig. 5). Natural vegetation consisting f,wt of various young tree growths and herbaceous vegetation exists along the banks hof the creek. A biological inventory performed in 1976 by D. B.

Thus, one of the aims of the survey was to locate and describe sites and isolate cultural ' objects which would be affected by the land modification; activities and subsequent erosion processes. Another major goal was to gather data which i .would contribute to formulating futureresearchproblems .and to evaluate the significance of these cultural resources for our understanding of human.' .-.., adaptation to the eastern prairies. „..a Previously Recorded Sites and Survey Hypotheses ! A review of all available archaeological site records regarding the pro- I - the field stud 'revealed; ject localities conducted prior to initiation of Y,. 1 ! ; I` only one previously located site. Site 13JH28, the Jack Muskgrove site, is located somewhere in Sections 2 or 11, R. 6W., T. 79N., East Lucas Township, j Johnson County, Iowa., Since no formation concerning the cultural manifests- i tions at this site are recorded, it is difficult to assess its significance. Considering the paucity of known archaeological -historical sites in the i project areas, it is impossible to project on the basis of cultural data the expected potential of finding sites in the affected Ralston Creek watershed. ' fj However, because of the diverse biotic and non -biotic resources afforded by ia small drainage system such as Ralston Creek, it is reasonable to expect _ that the area had been used in the past for seasonally occupied temporary - 1 1" for non-resident resource utilization. Ridges, well -drained terraces, camps or and alluvial slopes are all potential areas for human occupation. Upland and E bottom lands would have afforded areas for hunting and collection of wild- f food items. The restricted area of the alluvial' soils may have precluded _ prehistoric horticultural activities. Survey Methodologyd Because of the difference in the vegetations] cover between the North 1�"It WAV Branch and South Branch Detention Unit drainages, different survey methods K._.� 141CROFILMED BY JORM°MICR6LAB. - CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES 111utUIi0ILU BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND UES MOTNES, 1�"A -7- '-' were used. .Each drainage and its survey.. methodology will be considered separately. A total of six days was spent in the field. South Branch Detention Unit. On June 15-17, 1978, an intensive survey was hoto- conducted of the South Branch Detention Unit. A 1:6400 scale aerial photo- graphshowing the project limits was used as a locational guide. Fields graph showing I f planted in agricultural row crops .were systematically surveyed by walking --, transects spaced approximately at 15 -meter intervals. If any cultural ma- terials were encountered, the transact. interval was reduced to 10 meters and, in some cases,. 5 meters. Surveyconditions in these cultivated areas were ideal, because the vegetationwas immature, and the area had recently re- ' CJ is ceived a heavy rainfall. The area planted in the broadcast fodder crop was i " ') surveyed by walking 15 -meter transects across the field. In this area, sur- i � vey conditions were not as ideal but 5-10C of the ground surface was exposed � J through the vegetation. The small areas of pasture were shovel tested on a 15 -meter regularized grid. Finally, all exposed creek banks were examined. 11 JBecause of nearly ideal field conditions, reliability of the results of the i South Branch survey can be considered high. The limits of the survey area Li and vegetation cover are shown in Fig. 5. North Branch Detention Unit.On June 22-24, 1978, an intensive survey was u conducted of the North' Branch Detention Unit.' Heavy vegetation, in this i — project area made adequate reconnaissance procedures difficult, and the re i liability the survey results should be considered low. .Areas in grass - pasture were surveyed by walking cattle trails and examining the exposed ! creek banks. Where little or no soil was exposed in pasture areas, shovel tests were made; 1) at 15 -meter intervals along transects paralleling the �.: drainages, and 2) over twoadditionalareas using a. regularized 15 -meter. i — grid. In the areas of natural vegetation, several survey techniques were .used. First, all paths'were walked and exposed surface soil examined. If . AYIdICROf ILMED BY r JORM MICR4LAB X.

Second, wooded areas were covered by walking transects which: paralleled the main stem of the North Branch and ,the other major feeder drainages.Surface soils were sufficiently exposed in these areas so that only limited shovel testing was needed. Third, areas ofproposed land mods- i fication were shovel tested more intensively. These areas were in heavy closed vebetation',and include the proposed sites of the dam, the emergency I spillway and the borrow area. Shovel testing was carried out on a regularized 15 -meter grid. The North Branch area and the survey techniques used are shown in Fig. 6. RESULTS, U Inventory of Cultural Resources w`1 I The present cultural resource survey located several' isolated finds and one area having an extremely light surface scatter of lithic material.

Elevation: 730-760 feet. A widely dispersed lithic scatter consisting of seven chert flakes and C one stream -cobble milling stone was found on a ridge to the north and west of the south branch of Ralston Creek. The scatter covers an area 200 meters (600 feet) (NW -SE) by 60 meters (200 feet) (SW -NE) and is situated about 260 i meters (800 feet) from the south branch. The ridge on which the scatter was P ! y found rises to about 50 feet above the creek bottom and is the site of.the S !� t~ proposed borrow area for the South Branch Detention Structure. Currently, the area is planted in corn. A substantial vertical profile of the ridge has I been exposed by land' modification associated with the housing development immediately to the east. An examination of this profile revealed no sub-' "' ! surface artifacts or cultural features. i i loaf i� BY MICROFILMED JORMMICR#LAB .CEDAR RAPIDS •DES MOINES 141utUi ILMEU BY JORI4 141CROLAb CEDAR RAPIDS ANG I ti Isolated Finds ` Isolated lithics (Fig. 5) 1^ Location:..

SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS j South Branch Detention Unit j The isolated nature of the cultural material in this unit does not warrant - any action to mitigate adverse effects of the project. Therefore, it is r recommended that the South Branch Detention Unit be granted clearance from - a cultural resource perspective.' North Branch Dention Unit Though only one isolated artifact was found in•this unit, the present cultural resource investigation has indicated that a portion of the project area will require additional attention. The long ridge to the east of Ralston Creek, across which the emergency spillway would be constructed and to which i the as end of the dam would be connected (Fig. 6), has high archaeo- logical potential. Its long, level, well -drained surface and itsllocatioa at the confluence of two drainage stems of Ralston Creek make this ridge particularly suitable for occupation or use by prehistoric peoples. Currently, I I the ridge is in old field succession with mixed deciduous woodlands along the Y i I � h north and west edges. 'This creates a thick tangle of vegetation which pre- f, 1 eludes an adequate archaeological survey. For areas such as these, shovel testing is not sufficient to reveal the presence of cultural resources, and i the negative results of the Phase I tests should not be considered' :proof of prj Y their absence. Therefore, it is recommended that the ridge be monitored during the initial phases of brush clearing and fill removal associated with the dam and emergency spillway construction. A monitor should be present for all land modification activities involving the upper two or three feet F+ r R, MICROrILMEO BY : JORM MICR#LA6 � CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES V!1LilUh ILMILO by JORM MICROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND UCS MUINL_•, " 1 c i C I i 1�.;. of the surface soils in this area. i r--I No survey technique is completely adequate to locate all the sites in �,.. an area, given cover, time and other factors such as deeply buried sites.

City.. The, proposed design standards presented by Iowa City are by far more , ..� detailed than the criteria established by Johnson County. Subdivision Regulations. I will attempt to give "a comparison of those standards which t both' regulations require.1 In most cases they are either compatible or identical: Those that are not may or may not produce problems and these are the areas on which I will concentrate. ANALYSIS i A. Streets'. I� , 1. County Subdivisions (generally) 60' ROW ' 24' Surface i Iowa City . 60' ROW 4 22' Surface i 14 The 60' proposed requirement is nearly the same as the secondary road ' system 66', ROW. While the additional 19' on either side may be required for drainage and sidewalks it is excessive for large lot I rural development. .The. increased ROW alsoadds another 51 to the l� 40' building set back required by RS Zoning. 2. Maximum street grade is set at 12%.. This is compatible with county regulations. i r / 93 2 • t: _� ------ ;- MICROFILMED BY •, JORMMICR+LAB I CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES I UINtS, IuwH i . 3. Culvert size required for county subdivisions is minimum of 15". - diameter with 12" of cover. Iowa City proposes a 12" diameter and 6" of cover. The county regulations again is based on rural con- ditions which present different maintenance problems. The actual- sizeoftheculvert,.in both cases, is determined. by the drainage area emptyingthrough. the -:culvert.. . 1 4. Drainage grading for ditches required by the county is a 3:1 slope .j ratio. Iowa .City proposes 4:1 ratio which is less steep but requires more space. The slope calculations were made to accomodate }'.. I the placement of drainage culverts. Since these culvert dimensions I ,.� differ the slope requirements must vary accordingly.,' 5. In general, the design standards for Iowa City are more detailed and the material specifications more stringent. This is as it should be. i'- Themajorsubstantive difference between the regulations is that those'. of the city propose to require concrete paving on subdivison roads. _ B. .Water Supply Johnson County presently has, no specific standards. Water can be supplied..; " either by private or community well systems. This is also being proposed. .; by Iowa City. Generally,. the Zoning Commission defers'to the review of the Health Department on sanitation matters. C. Sewer and Waste Water Disposal 'I Johnson County; currently. requires„a one acre minimum area. for private systems'. Collector. systems lagoons or treatment plants are also i � .for used - for ruraldevelopments.. IowaCity proposes similar arrangements � and encouragescollector system installation. In all cases the.Zoning Commission defers to the Health Department for approval of proposed systems. The change. in subdivision standards is likely to create major change in the 'i development pattern surrounding Iowa. City. Two distinct possibilities exist. Because of the, increased costs development,activity will be encouraged to locate - beyond the 2 -mile limit.- It may also discourage residential and commercial development to the city. This is likely to increase the pressure for I, adjacent zoning and subdivision further out in the rural areas where services' are more difficult and more expensive to provide. j The proposed regulations could, on the other hand, create a better development pattern. I, Again, due to the higher costs, ,development is likely to take,place in the form of large subdivisions located nearer the city.Public improvements such as centralized water and sewer systems are probable so as to permit higher densities and the resulting economies of scale. i I �N, idicwfILMED BY DORM, MICR+LAB - t I. �. CEDAN P.APIDS •. DES MOINES f", UNi ILi•IL0 BY JORI4 1.11CROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES PUPIL`, IvwH These possibilities present important policy considerations for the county. The concentrated: large scale development pattern would be a distinct advantage, for both city and county and presents no real problems. While inthe county, the concentrated pattern lands itself for better service delivery, (sheriff, school, fire). When annexation occurs the subdivisions are either (already equiped to receive city services or can act to provide them at lower expense. - I It is the possible development pressure on more rural land that presents the •'� serious question.. Currently the county is pursuing a policy intent on pre- serving agricultural land and protecting farming interests from conflicts with non-farm activity. In adhering to this policy the county also acknowledges the advantages of orderly growth in locating new development in or adjacent to existing population and service centers. If the countywould choose the option :ofencouraging expansion of development beyond the 2 -mile limit it - would effectively negate the positive effects 6f regulations which promote cooperative, orderlygrowth and the continued protection of rural and urban interests the changes dbysIowavC City do not seriously effect the applicability or The Chan es proposed b Iowa Ci _ "• subdivision regulations. These items, while needing: 1 some study and possible adjustment, can be easily incorporated in the review and approval process..'one major item does need'to beaddressed,however. l: The adoption of standards for the extra -territorial area suggests that they will beapplied uniformly, to every subdivision within the 2 -mile. -radius. The (� application of thesestandards further suggests that city services will beforth- comingin the developments that providethe upgraded facilities.'. It is fairly obvious that this cannot be done nor is there any intention to do so. Current annexation proposals exclude areas on the.north and west boundaries :of Iowa City. 'It would be unfair, if not punitive to land owners, .for the city to insist on such stringent and costly requirementsin areas where it neither has i the capability nor the plan to provide services. It would seem much more appropriate if the city would develop and approve standards that would apply only to the areas that, can be reasonably annexed and not to the total 2 -mile area. l It is. my recommendation that. the. County accept the proposed standards provided that they apply onlyto those areas detailed in reasonable annexation proposal.. In addition, it would also be my recommendation that the county defer to Iowa City in their review of the technical requirements of these subdivision plats, but that the County retain review and, approval authority to insure compliance with zoning and health regulations. or those areas within the 2 -mile; limit but not included in an annexation proposal it should be agreed that, while the city must still approve the subdivision, the 'County .Subdivision Regulations •i govern.

This is the first ubjucLivu',,measurable type. of evaluation. ` the program has had. We are continuing wiLh on-going evaluation of the I child's personal, social, and academic growth during the course of his/her match by the coordinator; as begun last quarter. 2) GAP', the small Group Activity Program for children on the waiting list has been expanded to include twice as many children on aweekly (formerly bi- weekly) basis. .GAP provides children with recreational activities,: peer inter- '' action, and adult friendships while they are waiting for their one' -to -one match.. - This program involves supervision of 15 University students who lead the. groups.. 3) We are now requiring a training session for all new volunteers including -basic communication and listening skills androle-playingsituations. Wu'fecl this. will improve the effectivunussof our ,volunteers as well as - helpingthem to feel more comfortable with theirnew roles inthe .early stages of the match. ol- 4) 'October will also mark the introduction of the Pals Couples Program. Vol- unteers'can now be matched with child as couple.We feel that this unteers can alternative will be beneficial in the following ways: a). Volunteer.: recruit- ment. Men and. women whowould not be willing to make. the individual. commit- ment may now doso together.. b)..Allows the child torelate to an additional person, c) Provides arelationship model for the child, d) Provides male - role models for 'girls `in the program, e) Couples' matches. in other programs - ,' have proved to be generally more stable than one-to-one matches. The couples program will demand a disproportionate increase in staff time as screening and matching procedures are more complicated than for an individ- ual match. i I In September, Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America sponsored a regional conven- tion in Wichita, Kansas. This conference .was attended by the Coordinator and the Board President. It was very instructional and many of the above develop- ments, as well as some other ideas for the program, grew out of convention workshops.It was especially beneficial to talk with representatives of other` programs similar to Pals to share. ideas on funding, recruitment, volunteer services, procedures, and problem -solving. Pals will be affiliating with the � national organization at a provisional level.this year.: Affiliation will allow � i us to continue to attend training sessions, conferences, and conventions which have been so helpful to us this past year. 2 Our waiting list is down from 50 to 36: 27 boys and 9 girls. We feel that the paucity of female children referred to the Pals Program reflects the view that the primary purpose of Pals is to provide male role models. Al- though this is an important aspect of the relationshps, it is not the primary I advantage.. The one-to-one friendship, special attention, and guidance provided has proved'to be beneficial regardless of sex. We are trying to encourage greater participation in our Big Sister program. i buring the: last quarter, we have received five referrals from outside the Iowa City/Coralville area. We will make an effort to find Pals for these children although we do not at present have the resources - financial, staff, or volunteers - to adequately serve outlying towns. This will be an issue in f considering future directions of the Pals Program, as referrals from other areas in the county (seem to be increasing. 141CROFILMED BY JORM.

Attendance at orientations during August and September was double our previous average, with nearly half being male. We hope this trend continues, although without additional staff, the number of matches made quarterly will probably remain at 9 or 10. Of the 35 volunteers inquiring, 18 either dropped out or did not complete the application process. This is an improved ratio of applicants to inquiries, previously being about 1:4. Of the nine terminations this quarter, 3 were graduations from the program, 4 j were 'cases in which the volunteer moved out of Iowa City, I child moved, and 1 was premature volunteer withdrawal due to other commitments. This breakdown is an accurate' reflection of the norm, indicating strong matches and high volunteer mobility.` With the initial volunteer commitment being one year and our average length of match at termination being about 19 months, we feel, that we are justified in focusing our efforts at quality matches (rather than at high numbers of matches) in our approach to service.' i Submitted by, ��• Jan Peterson Pals Coordinator a JP/ar f MICROFILMED BY •q) DORM.

Often certain social and economic groups (e.g. minorities, the elderly, lower income families) are precluded from obtaining decent housing at a reasonable cost. There is a need y for a strong public role to assure safe and decent housing for { the elderly and the poor. The decisions of the private market in the housing field are often based on economic factors. This creates a role for the community in the protection of minority interests. It is up to the community to inject such, policy factors as zoning regulations, code enforcement; and taxation into the decision-making t process. ) Public involvement becomes essential not only to make e housing available to those that cannot rely on the private market, but to ensure that all housing decisions occur in an orderly and ! systematic manner. An overall housing program is not designed just to aid the socially or economically disadvantaged; it also affects the entire q realm of community life. Other public programs (laxation, public S transportation, community development, schools, recreation, and utilities) can sustain serious negative impacts if not properly considered as they relate to housing. Unplanned development can greatly increase housing costs. In achieving a "balanced" community, there must be coordination of the availability of ? housing services with the expressed (and unexpressed) housing need. The concern is not only for the physical structure, but for t the neighborhood, services, counselling, and the environment, !! as well. d t f .Ti!"n�.�f• � .:na'r' .tb i. w. r it .� �r. is K:•�.

It affects the physical as well as the economic well-being of the community. It contributes to the maintenance of property values (thus increasing tax revenues) and affects the r commercial and industrial potential of a community. A housing y program is important to any type of', community: (a) if rapidly h growing, more housing is needed to accommodate the increas- ing population, (b) stable communities are more attractive to in- } ,' s dustry if an adequate housing stock exists, and (c) when com- munites are declining, it is important to preserve existing homes F and thereby maintain a healthy tax base. q It is a grave mistake for communities, even small ones, to adopt a passive attitude toward housing problems. Community d involvement is an investment for all. This investment can be quite small in terms of actual dollar costs. Indeed, the major in- put need not be a financial investment, but one of "effort". Cer- tainly attracting federal or state funds is one goal of an overall housing program, but there are many things a community can do short of federal or state involvement to be effective. Awareness of the problem is the first major step. Thus, much of this manual a is spent in identifying potential problems. It should be noted that A it is public officials and concerned citizens who must take the in- itiative. Those most in need of assistance are often reluctant to .. do so, either but of pride, indifference, ignorance, or fear of reprisal. 4,. � s p ..I t •1 3 f 1 4-�fY --'� MICRDIILMED BY 1 JORM MICR#LAB CEDAR RAPIDS •'DES MOINES hVi1,1(u1 ILMLO BY JORI4 141CROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND OL` " 'I.'IL`, u - Y i I Why Such Negative Attitudes Toward Housing? There are several myths and biases surrounding the field of housing that have led people to adopt a somewhat negative at- titude toward any public intervention into the housing market. It is noteworthy that many of these beliefs concern the utilization of federal housing projects; however, as will be shown, public in- volvement in the housing field doesn't necessarily have to rely on federal housing to be effective. Nonetheless, even if federal housing is utilized, many of these beliefs are unfounded. One such myth that prevails today is the belief that to become involved instate or federally assistedhousing requires a great deal of "red tape." It can't be denied that government programs require a lot of paperwork, but often the difficulty involved is exag- H gerated.Also, there are specially trained individuals readily availa- ble (see Appendix B) that can make this task manageable. There is often a certain stigmatism people attach to federally assisted housing. They feel the poor are already receiving too much in the way of subsidies and they only abuse what help they. receive. It must be remembered, however, that good housing ) T ( _ j �y h'�JiY {�`.y��rSfi • � • 41, 7 1 4 �i t -- MIEROrILMED BY ' JORM MICR6LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES - I ; utui �Lrlcu by JURM MICROLAB EDl;R RtiFiDS ALU benefits the entire community, not just individual families. Also, many of these benefits go not to people already subsidized, but to the elderly and to workers on the fringe of adequate income levels in order to help them make ends meet. In addition, hous- ing assistance is aimed toward different purposes than other subsidy programs. Safe and decent housing for the protection of the family is the goal. Another common misconception is for the community, even a small one, to believe there is nothing that can be done. As out- lined in Appendix A, there are many federal programs available to provide housing assistance. Short of this, however, the com- munity can make effective use of its own resources to improve its housing situation. A simple awareness of the problem and a direction for action is a good beginning. Additionally, Section III describes many tools presently available at the local level that can be effectively utilized in the housing process. Finally, provincialism, or the idea of "we can take care of our own" is a common cry of communities. Sometimes, however, it becomes not only feasible, but economically necessary to look to the federal or stale government, or to regional organizations for help. Even so, the community is going to have to make the initial effort if anything is to be done. { p Y• •c'' -.•Y. 141CROI-IL1.1CI1 8Y JORM MICR#LAB crOAR RAPIDS •DES MOINES. 5 bf JUkhi 141CROLAb 'L[DAL RAPIDS AILD :,:L Does Your Community Need a Housing Program? Admittedly, not every community has unmet housing prob- lems. However, it is a fact that many communities, particularly smaller ones, have serious housing -related problems. Further- more, because housing is such a major factor in the com- munity's well-being, it is important to identify potential problem' areas and attempt to alleviate them before they reach a crisis state. Currently, a housing "crunch" is being felt nationwide at all l income levels. The gap between the price of the average home and what people can afford is increasing rapidly. More and more poeple are being priced out of the housing market. A major reason for this is the strong impact inflation has had on all aspects of housing costs, particularly interest rates and building costs. . �Alt,i � 1I -pR.r�r.�ires.+ •...+r ,'^�--•,: --'.x - —� , ■9j��/y1� �ypL! iitt �� � �k ] i i 6 141CF10FILI-11D 9Y DORM'.: MICR6LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES r•7icKUi iLMLU BY JORM I.1ICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND UES y 9 Q Y public acceptance of them. i TYPICAL HOUSING COSTS' Insurance 2% 0 Maintenance 5% a Utility Bills 10% Land 8% It is estimated that in 1970, 45% of all families could afford the Taxes 20% median priced home, but by 1975, only 31% were so fortunate.2 is Today the median price of a new home is 553,500: Using the old 4 rule of thumb that a household should pay no more than 2/2 times Mortgage Financi7359/6 its annual income for purchasing a home; its income would have to be at least $21,000 to be in the market. Seventy percent of all Z families have incomes under that amount. As the market pres- sures interact, the increasing cost of new homes continues to drive up the price on existing homes, as well. Thus, even the so- called "filtering" process (as families move into higher valued t homes their old home "fillers" down through the market) does not '( totally ease the gap between home prices and family incomes. As a result of such trends, it is very likely that families will t cut back on their consumption of other goods and services; they will seek less expensive housing alternatives, more will turn to renting, and it will become increasingly difficult for them to pro- vide proper maintenance. A survey by: Iowa Slate Extension in cooperation with Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) in 1976, indicated a strong preference toward homeownership (750/6); but this preference may have to be tempered with the need for less costly, energy- efficient housing. This same survey also indicated a bias against factory -built structures and mobile homes. Because these are often less costly housing alternatives, there is a need for greater reco nition of theirualil and strength in order to increase 9 Q Y public acceptance of them. i TYPICAL HOUSING COSTS' Insurance 2% 0 Maintenance 5% a Utility Bills 10% Land 8% Taxes 20% Construction Costs 201/6 Mortgage Financi7359/6 MICROFILMED BY • JORM MOCR46LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • [IES MOINES I•:l,i<Ur 1LPIiu by DORM 14ICROLAb • CEDAR RAPIDS AILD LES !IIWA .�yy,'.�� ch +r+ �}✓`+t4�iy i'uC�'Y�>y��1 V r1 i While increasing housing costs have their effect on all In. come levels, the housing problems of low-income families are' • �^^ "'t'"'" -particularly acute.

I CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES U iLMLL) BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES Once a local housing organization is in place, the task becomes one of problem identification. This is initiated by the preparation of goals and objectives which the community seeks to achieve by its efforts. These goals and objectives should be realistic in light of the resources available to the community, its prevailing economy, and its projected needs. Housing needs can be projected by undertaking some preliminary studies. The degree of sophistication of these studies will ultimately depend upon the type of programs the community seeks to implement. (It',, should be noted that in applying for various federal housing as- sistance programs such as some offered by the Department of Housing & Urban Development, rather detailed studies of needs' are required. The community might consider such requirements when they initiate an analysis of housing needs.) As a minimum, however, the community should consider the following elements: ' • economic data (family income and the local economy affect the type and quality of housing and the amount people are ' able to pay for it); • demographic data (population trends, age and sex distribu- tion are important in determining the type and size of households, and the type and amount of services that will be required), • housing stock ( the type, age and condition o1 housing, f along with overcrowdedness and vacancy rates are In- dicators of need and of the social, economic and physical well-being of the community); • supply and demand trends (an indication of the market's suc- j - r nr Z r y cess in matching housing units to socio-economic factors); f I r D ! • mortgage market (the availability of capital is a major factor , 0 in the supply and the ultimate price of housing); + • development resources (an inventory of builders, de- l velopers, realtors and the availability of buildable land and support services is an indication of the ability of the com- munity to respond to identified housing needs). t 9 r 12 ;iiunw iLr1LU b1' JORM 1,11CROLAII CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES lir -:N A � Once needs are identified and goals and objectives pre- pared, the community must develop the particular strategies or means to be used in implementing the overall housing program. In doing so it should always be kept in mind that the ultimate goal of any program is to match the needs and objectives iden- tified in the housing inventory with the housing assistance re- sources that are available. In attempting to match the two, the ; organizational mechanism created by the community becomes involved by: (a) performing projects in its own name, (b) organiz ing self-help groups, or (c) assisting individual families in obtain Ing financial aid. Specifically, this involvement will include set- ting policies for program selection and development, Identifying ti potential sites and alternatives, approving contracts, approving design and layouts, and assuming fiscal responsibilities. The extent of this involvement by the community into the housing field will depend on the particular organizational i mechanism chosen and its aggressiveness, The community must select the particular strategies that will meet their needs. Once these strategies are selected, the housing organization must } r then go to the city council, the state, or the federal government iG���c for help in implementing them. 13 MICROr ILM1D BY I.

Such tools are often neglected in looking at housing problems, but effective utilization of these can reinforce state and federal aid programs. Also, they allow for community involvement without having to seek state and federal aid, or if such aid is unavailable. Because these policies are at the local level, they often require action by the city council to be effective. However, initiative for such action often must come from concerned interest groups. The short analysis of these tools presented in Section III is designed to show how they can be effectively integrated into a housing program. Appendix A presents a description of the major federal hous- ing assistance programs available today. The programs are divided into three categories: (1) existing and new construction, (2) rehabilitation, and (3) elderly and handicapped. The descrip- tions should help the community select the program or pro- grams that best fit its particular housing needs and strategies. Finally, Appendix B provides a listing of the major sources of technical assistance available to answer housing -related ques- tions. These resources should prove particularly helpful to the ■� �;; community as it 'steps through" the housing process. f Aggressive use of all three of these mechanisms, (local de - k' r velopment policies, federal housing assistance programs, and technical assistance resources) can produce a very effective housing program for the community: Only the ideas are listed here; it is now up to the community to take the initiative and put in the effort that gets the process started. It should be noted that throughout the entire process — from organization to implementation — it Is essential to keep the d citizenry informed. As mentioned before, housing is an invest- ment for the entire community and its effects are felt throughout all facets of community life. Only by keeping citizens informed can the community expect resourceful input and ultimate ap- proval of its efforts.', a 4 t <•-, t r ) } a , 1 i MICROHLMED BY JORM MICR�LAB� CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES b11;,,(UF 1L'ILu by JUR14 1•tICROLA[ CEDAR RAPIDS MID UES MICROr1LMED BY ` JORM MICRmLAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES Summary y The need for safe, decent, and sanitary housing is one of our rl basic concerns. Yet no longer can we rely on the private market sj to satisfy the needs of all social and economic groups when it }: comes to housing. Because of rapid inflation, a poor allocation of resources, and misconceived social ideas, groups such as the elderly, the poor, and minorities are precluded from obtaining decent housing at a reasonable cost. There is a need for a strong role on the part of the public to assure adequate housing resources. A community's major asset aF is its housing stock. The investment by a community in a coordinated housing program can be quite small in terms of the t� potential rewards. The community's role is essentially a five-step process: 15 STEP 1: AN AWARENESS THAT THERE MAY BE UNMET COMMUNITY.

One of these is local development policies (e.g. zoning and subdivision ordinances, housing and building codes, and the lending practices of financial institu- , tions). Another is the housing assistance programs available from the federal government. Finally, there are numerous federal, state, and regional agencies that are available to provide extensive technical assistance on housing -related problems the y; community might have. Thus, it should be noted that it is going to take local in - illative and local Involvement if a community is to have a hous- i Ing stock that meets the needs of all its citizenry.

Not always is this optimum goal achieved, however. Over- protective zoning provisions can have serious negative impacts leading to the exclusion of certain social, economic or racial groups. For example, large -lot zoning (i.e. homes can be built y only on lots of 112 acre or more) not only greatly increases the cost of land and the ultimate price of new homes, but it impacts frontage requirements as well, driving up the cost of utilities, streets, and support services. With landresources becoming scarce and home prices skyrocketing, there would seem to be a over - market for smaller, less costly housing. Another example of a protective zoning provisions' is the exclusion of multi fmity family housing or mobile homes within the community. These are alternatives to the high cost of housing, and their exclusion can leave low and moderate income families and the elderly out of the housing market. Properly written zoning ordinances can as- sure that such types of housing are not hazardous and unsightly ve. There is no need to adopt ordinances as many people belle cessary for the health, safety, and that go beyond what is ne welfare of the community and its citizenry. r sites for low in - Zoning can also be utilized to select grope come and elderlylhandicapped housing.

When added, it becomes part of the city's tax base and is subject to its various ordinances (i.e. zoning, subdivision, codes). The city i then becomes responsible for all municipal services to the an- f.' nexed area. The purpose of annexation is to,increase the availability of land and services for housing and other economic development. Once again, the community must balance compet- ing concerns: annexation can provide an increased tax base and a potential area for growth, but it also involves a burden upon the city in services to an area previously unserved. providing While in many instances new land is needed for an expand- ing housing market, some type of containment policy is advise- ble to prevent the city from over extending itself. Some factors to be considered in the decision to annex territory include: (a) max- imum utilization of the existing infrastructure can keep housing t ' k costs down, (b) it is often more energy efficient to repair existing structures than build new ones, (c) annexation often takes prime agricultural land out of production, (d) containment may help revitalize inner city areas. 1 II MILIWI iL LL) BY. JURM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS AND !)LS '•Ill :'IL>v+ Zr Housing and Building Codes One of the primary bases for establishing and maintaining housing quality is through the adoption and enforcement of housing and building codes. They are designed to ensure safe, decent, and sanitary housing. A housing code sets forth minimum standards designed to maintain decent housing. Such standards govern light and ven- tilation, sanitation, fire protection, alterations, maintenance, and improvements, By setting standards for construction and construction materials, a building code is designed to increase the quality of construction and squeeze out less responsible builders. Construction areas regulated include plumbing, electrical, fire safety, heating, cooling, and ventilation. The State Building Code (Chapter 103A, Code of Iowa) and the Stale Housing Code (Chapter 414, Code of Iowa) are man- Calory in very limited areas. Thus, it is up to the individual com- munity to take the initiative to adopt effective code ordinances and provide a uniform enforcement mechanism. While many small communities may not have the financial resources to employ housing and building officials, an alternative is to establish some type of cooperative effort between communities (such as utilization of county boards of health, regional housing authorities, or combining code enforcement duties with others performed by city officials (e.g. city clerk or public works direc- tor). Housing and building codes are two important considera- tions in guarding against unsafe and dilapidated housing while _I j preserving the housing stock and property values. The im- portance in' maintaining such an investment cannot be em- phasized enough. Since rehabilitating a home can cost as much as 400/6 less than new construction, it is often a much more via- ble alternative if financial resources are limited and if community growth is relatively stable. Rehabilitation also offers advantages of: (1) increased property tax revenues, and (2) savings in effi- ciency without heavy investment in the extension of existing facilities. 21 MICROFILMED By JORM MICR6LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES.

Thus, there must be a "balance" ( of safety and maintenance factors with the added cost of compliance. n II NA`I ry tl,.� i / �Y r ! i Demolition Procedures Procedures for the removal of dilapidated housing strut- ; tures from the market are an important consideration in a hous- ing program, especially, as used in conjunction with code en-. forcement. By removing those structures that are beyond the re- habilitation stage, declining areas can be revived, thereby upgrading the housing stock and increasing property values and the tax base. 22 1 mICROrILMED BY DORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES +lluiWi iL&D by JURM M[CROLAfi CEDAR RAPIDS AND UCS .•"Il1 l = , vN There are various methods by which demolition can be un- n-dertakenby dertaken bythe city.10 These include instituting a nuisance ac- tion, adopting an ordinance utilizing building officials to inspect F q ` dangerous buildings, or seeking recourse through the Stale Fire ; Y Marshal's office. There are two main considerations the community must 9 keep in mind in utilizing demolition procedures. First, the struc- ture must be truly beyond rehabilitation stage. Only at the time t `a$ when it becomes impractical from a cost -benefit analysis to re- b habilitate a structure rather than tear it down, can demolition ¢ e come into play. Secondly, the community must guard against re- moving the only housing that is available to low income families. moving i Economics often preclude these individuals from obtaining de- g cent housing. Thus,if demolition is to occur, they must have a alternatives that are relatively inexpensive. This may require some type of relocation assistance by the community. Demolition can be utilized no matter what the size of the city ✓' is. In fact, small towns in the Ottumwa area have removed as many as 8-10 structures, basically through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Abandoned Building Removal Program. Under this program, the city gets a grant and then contracts out for demolition and removal of dilapidated structures. This leaves a much more marketable lot and poten- tially increases the tax base. One city has even used this pro- gram to help the county remove an abandoned structure it acquired through tax default.

Y r Lending decisions are based on business judgments, as financial institutions look for secure investments. However, this ; F can lead to conservatism in the lending market in many small towns because of the lack of immediate growth potential. The solution thus becomes one of convincing lenders of the viability of the area. This concept is often called "jawboning i.e. bring - Ing lenders together with interested groups and officials to dis- f cuss problems and seek solutions. The communication between lenders and housing officials shouldn't end here though. If the imortgage market is tight in any one segment, it is important to approach lenders and find out why. Also, lenders should be en- couraged to make maximum use of federal and state housing programs. (For example, the initial program of the Iowa Housing t Finance Authority made $42,000,000 available to lenders for home mortgages).Many of these programs depend on local lenders, yet the cost of participation by the lender is practically nothing. Additional assurances should be made that loans are not denied because of misconceived social, geographical, or racial attitudes (the so-called problem of "red -lining"). The gov- ernor has urged investment by lenders in potentially declining neighborhoods to overcome this problem. By following this lead, 'n areas but can t reserve declining , I o i' lenders can not only hep. p 9 contribute to the growth of the overall community as well. One example of the "jawboning' concept is in the Burl- ington region. There, the areawide planning organization initiat- ed interest in housing problems. Once a month realtors, de- velopers, and housing officials get together with local lenders to H• i find out how involved the lenders are in the housing market, what housing programs they are and are not taking advantage �- of, and why. Such communication has already helped to get FmHA and HUD funds into areas where previously there was none. Also, lenders have begun to utilize the programs of the IHFA where previously they had decided not to participate. 25 F MICRO FILMED BY ..... �, JORM MICR61LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES - " 1:iii .JWI iL;'1LU BY JUR14 MICRULhd CEDAR RAPIDS AND DES 'ICIf! ,!"u,, x APPENDIX A: WHAT z HOUSING PROGRAMS ARE POTENTIALLY' I AVAILABLE? The overall goal of any community that becomes involved in housing Is to coordinate the relevant housing data and policies with the particular. "supply; and demand" forces at work in the community. While the private market sometimes fails to satisfy ,the housingdemands of all segments of society, it is at least an indication of what the community desires and what the market can absorb. Thus, while specific' problem areas may be iden- tilled, and potential programs sought to alleviate them, there must be an analysis of what is best for the community as a whole. Particularly in small towns, a housing program can be a major; resource, therefore, the need,for community -wide input becomes Imperative. a" In seeking state or federal housing assistance, it should be noted that utilization of housing assts funds construct housingprojects will not, b Itself, be the of p J y ' the entire solution. The community must coordinate the use of such funds with the policies and activities discussed in Sections 11 and III, for it is these factors that make the housing market operate efficiently and effectively. (Again, keep in mind that In many cases, proper utilization of these policies and, activities will solve the major problems without depending upon state and federal assistance, the availability of which is very limited. Also, such local initiative can be utilized without a great amount of financial resources.) n Without such coordination, the entire cycle of 'decline, inade- > quate housing for certain groups, and disinvestment begins to operate. 1r 26, MICROrILMED BY JORM MICR6LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES In attracting and utilizing state and federal housing as- sistance, various organizational methods can be used depending upon the type of problem identified.

The interest rate on the loan is based on the family's abili11 - ty to pay. As with most FmHA programs, only lowand moderate in- come families (less than $15,600 in 1978) and individuals are eligi- ble. Both "guaranteed" and "insured" loans are possible under this program, although the "guaranteed" program is being re- considered with the possibility of revisions. FmHA Section 515 Rural Rental Housing Loans Under this program, loans are made to private, public, or non- profit groups, or to individual families to build new, buy existing, or repair old housing for rental purposes. Such loans can also in- clude facilities related to the project (recreation centers, dining facilities, etc.). Again, eligible families are those with incomes un-; der$15,600(in 1978).

Generally, it is used for rental units, but there can be homeownership, also. The local housing authority can construct the units themselves, or, under the "turnkey" pro- gram, buy a project built by private developers.

There are no income limits on this program. Terms of the loan provide for low downpayment with current market, rate Interest (81/4%). As a special feature of this program, lenders can offer a variety of graduated mortgage payment plans. Thus, buyers can } . make low payments during the first few years of the mortgage, and, after their income has risen sufficiently, make higher pay- ments In later years.

Many small towns in Iowa reached their population limit long ago, and it is only very recently that some of these areas have shown any increase. This gives rise to a very old housing stock. With an older housing stock, a community's housing pro- gram is likely to focus on rehabilitation. The reason for this is that rehabilitation can be much more efficient than new con- struction and it can stimulate reinvestment in declining areas of a city. The dilemma facing the community, however, is that a large number of deteriorating homes can inhibit needed rein- vestment. Thus; it is essential to begin the rehabilitation process before it becomes financially impractical and to mix it with demolition and new construction policies. An excess of older homes is not the only problem that might give rise to rehabilitation. Other factors that make rehabilitation a viable alternative include an excessive housing supply (high vacancy rate), the desire to preserve property values, and the y f low-income families through the ; need to free -up homes or. "filtering" process: Once the decision to undertake rehabilitation is made, however, it cannot be done in a vacuum. Some of the more important factors that need to be considered to make i rehabilitation effective are: (a) the support and involvement of the neighborhood citizenry, (b) the utilization of minimum housing codes, possible tax incentives, (c) P i o, .r..f t (d) the utilization of demolition procedures, (e) the need for investment by the city in terms of facilities and services. FmHA Section 502 Homeownership Loans r , Although basically a homeownership program, Section 502 also provides direct loans to individuals to repair or renovate a I home. Generally, the rehabilitation is made in conjunction with a homeownership loan in order to bring the home up to standard FmHA conditions before It Is purchased. While families with In- *m 1 comes o1 less than $15,600 are eligible for market rate interest ti loans (presently 80/0), those earning under $7,000 can get a home improvement loan (up to 25 years) at 3% Interest or less. 32 NICROr IU -111) By JoRM MICR6LA13 - CMAF RAMPS • I1rS %INNC5 by DORM f•IICkOLAb CEDAR RAPID°, ANC CCS '!7:llf I w 1 I FmHA Section 504 Home Repair Program This is the major FmHA programaimed specifically at re- habilitation.

Because the, housing needs of the elderly are so different from that of other groups, the community; should consider the following factors in developing a housing program that is to be an effective one in meeting such specialized needs: (a) the elderly are generally on very limited and fixed incomes, (b) their housing alternatives are inadequate (their present home Is generally too large and care facilities such as j nursing homes are often not designed for those elderly in Ij dividuals who remain active), (c) there must be equal concern with the accessibility of the elderly to community business and shopping facilities. FmHA Section 504 Home Repair Program Grants (as compared to loans which must be repaid) are available to elderly individuals who are unable to repay a regular Section 504 loan. The grants can be used to make repairs' _ necessary to remove dangers to health and safety, and may cov- er up to 100'/o of the cost (depending on income). AK Rent Supplement Programs I+ ' The FmHA Section 521 and HUD Section 8 programs, both 1: providing rent supplements to needy tenants, are available to the 1 ' elderly. Subsidies are provided so tenants pay no more than 25% 1 i of their Income toward rental payments. .' 35 j ' id11.R(II iLf4l0 BY DORM MICROLQB CIPAR R.ARI[e, • DCS M01W bi.
