ITEM NO. 4 - PLANNING & ZONING MATTERS.
a. Consider a recommendation of the Planning & Zoning
Commission to recommend denial of the rezoning from Al to
RS of a one acre tract located two miles north of I-80 on
Highway 1. (Z-8409)
Comment: The Planning & Zoning Commission, at its May 17,
1984, meeting, recommended by a vote of 5-0 the denial of
an application submitted to the County for the rezoning of
a one acre tract located two miles north of I-80 on
Highway 1 from Al to RS. The Commission found this
rezoning request to be inconsistent with the policy
statement for Area 4 of the Johnson County/Iowa City
Fringe Area Policy Agreement. The Commission's recommen-
dation is consistent with that of the staff included in a
memo dated May 11, 1984.

the parking requirements and one to delete the term tree
island and define planting area. The Planning & Zoning
Commission, at its May 17, 1984, meeting, recommended, by

Comment: The Planning & Zoning Commission, at a meeting
held May 3, 1984, recommended by a vote of 6-0 the
adoption of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to exempt
single-family dwellings (including zero lot line and
townhouse units) and duplexes from the design standards
for off-street parking. With the original adoption of the
standards in April 1983, single-family dwellings and
duplexes were exempt from compliance. Reformatting the
standards for inclusion in the Zoning Ordinance, adopted
December 1983, eliminated this exemption. The proposed
amendment will reestablish the exemption.
f. Public hearing on an ordinance to vacate a portion of
Melrose Avenue right-of-way east of Byington Road.
(V-8402)
Comment: The Planning & Zoning Commission, at a meeting
held April 19, 1984, recommended by a vote of 6-0 that a
portion of the Melrose Avenue right-of-way, east of its
intersection with Byington Road, be vacated with easements
retained for all public utilities in the right-of-way and
an agreement executed regarding the maintenance of the
storm sewer, provisions for stormwater drainage, and the
maintenance of the retaining wall on the east side of the
right-of-way at its intersection with Highway 6/218. This
vacation was requested by the University of Iowa as part
of the Law School project.

Consider a resolution authorizing Mercy Hospital to use
certain public rights-of-way locations for the erection of
private traffic directional signs.
Comment: Mercy Hospital is requesting authorization to
place a series of 12 private traffic directional signs in
the street rights-of-way of Bloomington, Market, Johnson
and Van Buren streets. This proposal has been reviewed by
staff, and all concerns raised in that re+iew process have
been resolved, except one. The Traffic Engineer has
recommended that the coloring of the proposed signage be
in accordance with the standards of the Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices (MUTCO). The MUTCD provides that
the color of this type of sign should be white on blue
(white lettering with white border on a blue background).
Mercy Hospital is proposing a brown background with white
lettering. Because they did not want to alter this color
scheme, Mercy Hospital has requested that the proposal be
forwarded to City Council to allow them to make a final
decision. A memo is included in the agenda packet which
lists the sign locations and the alterations made in the
original proposal to address staff concerns.

Department of Transportation State Transit Assistance funds
from Iowa City to University of Iowa Cambus. This is the
third consecutive year for this arrangement, which is necessi-
tated because the Iowa DOT does not recognize Cambus as a
public transit system under their administrative rules. The
only way Cambus can receive State Transit Assistance is
through one of the 33 recognized Iowa public transit systems,
which in this area are Iowa City Transit, Coralville Transit,
and Johnson County SEATS. These funds would not otherwise
have come to the Iowa City Urbanized Area.

ITEM NO. 26 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 23-I89 OF THE MUNICI-
PAL CODE OF IOWA CITY TO CHANGE SPEED LIMITS ON PARTS OF
SYCAMORE STREET. (first consideration)
Comment: Originally the ordinance was necessary to correct an omission
of text in the publication of ordinance 84-3168. Ordinance
84-3168 had been drafted to create a school speed zone on
Sycamore Street. The school speed zone was to read "25 mph on
school days when children are present" from Gleason Avenue to
Burns Avenue.
The Legal Department's review of this section of code,
necessitated by the text omission, prompted them to change the
first school speed zone to be a 25 mph speed limit which would
be in effect at all times.

and the Police Department feel that this section should be
i amended to more specifically prohibit the use of skateboards
