To: Mayor McDonald and City Council Members
From: * Margaret Nowysz, Chair, Historic Preservation CommissionY
Re: Proposed North Side Commercial Historic District
On February 8, 1984, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended, by
a vote of 4-0, that the North Side Commercial Area be designated a local
historic district. The Planning and Zoning Commission, on June 7, 1984,
recommended against designating the proposed North Side Commercial
Historic District as an historic overlay zone.
The Historic Preservation Commission requests that the City Council defer
consideration of the North Side Commercial Area as a local historic
district to allow further review of the proposal by the Historic Preserva-
tion Commission.

Dear Ms. Karr:
I appreciate your notification of the upcoming application for certification
for an outdoor beer garden at Gabe's Tavern. I must say that I have grave
reservations about that outdoor facility. Dennis Visser and myself are the
new owners of the old Knights of Columbus building and have remodeled that
building. The entrance to my office will be from the back with the parking
lot in the back. The parking lot is immediately adjacent but somewhat
elevated over the beer garden. I anticipate, especially in the fall and
spring months when the beer garden might be open, that the beer garden would
be open during the times when my patients are caning and leaving the office.
I have been through that alley during the beer garden hours, and I find many
of the people parking their cars where they wish regardless of posted signs,
walking dawn the middle of the alley, and generally harassing persons minding
their awn business in that immediate area. When Mr. Visser and I were
negotiating to buy the building, we learned that the police had approached
the Knights of Columbus asking for permission to tear dam a fence behind
what used to be the Craw's Nest. Apparently, the police were greatly concerned
about a significant amount of drug dealing that was occurring in that im-
mediate area. In fact, the police, through the owners of the Knights of
Columbus at that time, requested Mr. Visser and my permission to tear dorm
a fence to better police that area. In fact, the police were so interested
in getting that fence out to prevent the drug dealing that was occurring in
the imnediate area, that the police tore the fence down themselves with
our permission.
pdditionally, I am concerned, very concerned, for the safety of the elderly
persons occupying the Ecumenical Towers. These elderly grouprof citizens
have been required to essentially fence in their place as well as fence in
their cars to prevent disturbance. I also understand there was a significant
amount of vandalism before the fence was put up. I am additionally concerned
with the excess traffic that could be caning through that alley picking up
and letting people off at the beer garden. As we know, drunk driving is a
serious problem, and many of these persons driving in that alley may not only
be intoxicated but may be using drugs and, hence, would be a danger to my
patients, to myself, to my staff, to say nothing of the danger they present
to the elderly and often struggling individuals that occupy the Ecwmsical
Towers.

I wish to state in the strongest way that I am opposed to any license that
allows the back of Gabe's to be turned into a beer garden. It is my under-
standing that the history of that place clearly demonstrates that the control
of the individuals frequenting that beer garden is simply inadequate for
public safety. I might renind you that all of these problems have occurred
in spite of the fact that this is essentially "across the street" from the
police station. I wish to register my objection in the firmest language.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.
Cordially,

It has come to our attention that Gabe's, licated at 330 E. Washington
Street, has applied for a license to operate an outdoor service area,
or as we know it, a beer garden.
We feel it is important, as representatives of the residents of
Ecumenical Towers, to share our concerns with you.
We have 81 apartments at Erumeni.cal Towers for elderly or handicapped
persons. We enjoy many activities together and appreciate the down-
town location where we live. The closeness to downtown stores, churches,
library, and the Senior Citizen Center offers us endless opportunities.
We take pride in our home. In the past two years we have encountered
several disturbances with persons leaving Gabe's. The loud noise from
the music disturbs many residents. The people leaving Gabe's seem to
enjoy screaming at 2:00 a.m. or shouting obscene language. We have,
during the night, had a beer bottle thrown through a window, which
almost cut one of our residents. Residents are afraid to go to or
from the parking lot because they are confronted by persons leaving
the back of Gabe's. Our back yard is filled with litter from people
leaving Gabe's. We are awakened at all hours by persons leaving Gabe's
ringing our buzzers in our entry area. Some even use the foyer as a
bathroom.
We strongly urge you to deny this license for a beer garden.
Thank you for your cooperation.

We have received correspondence that Gabes has applied for approval
of an outdoor beer garden immediately adjacent to our property
located at 328 E. Washington Street, formerly the old 'KC Building'
Our concerns are as follows; First since the hours of operation
requested are between 6 a.m. and 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday
and also possibly Sundays, the issue of safety to adjacent occupants
is of utmost concern. Our firm and tenants of the building frequently
have p.m. appointments scheduled and operation of an adjacent
beer garden would cause concern for their safety at night. Secondly,
the issue of alcohol consumption outdoors also presents a potential
problem of noise and abusive language that cannot be contained when
it is outdoors and borders adjacent property. The third concern
is over the potential for uroPerty damage and vandalism that can
occur with unsupervised alcohol consumption. As the exit to the
proposed outdoor service area is to an alley, less visual super-
vision is possible. Due to the.past history of vandalism,
Ecumenical Towers has had to erect a cyclone fence to protect their
vehicles from damage and we have erected a security light for the
same reasons in our parking area.
As a City Council, your careful consideration of this matter is
greatly appreciated.

CITY CLERK (3)
The Ecumenical Housing Corporation has received a notice concerning
the proposed licensure of Gabe's to operate an outdoor service area/
beer garden at 330 East Washington Street. The Ecumenical Housing
Corporation owns and operates Ecumenical Towers, an 81 -unit H.U.D.
sponsored elderly housing project attached to the Iowa City Senior
Center. The proposed outdoor service area/beer garden is located
approximately sixty (60) feet from the easterly property line of
Ecumenical Towers.
After due and careful consideration, the Corporation has determined
that the licensure and continued operation of an outside service
area/beer garden at Gabe's must be strongly resisted.
We have adopted this view with some reluctance, because our exper-
ience with the management of Gabe's has been quite positive. To
the best of our knowledge, the management has made a valiant effort
to control the problems our project has encountered. However,
despite these efforts, the residents and staff of Ecumenical Towers
are convinced that an outside service area/beer garden at Gabe's
will cause severe problems for our project.
The primary complaint of our residents relates to noise. Not only
is there noise associated with an outdoor service area/beer garden
operation, but the existence of an outdoor service area/beer garden
at the back of Gabe's increases the traffic through the alley north
of Ecumenical Towers. This traffic would not be a problem except
for the fact that those leaving the bar are quite loud and when res-
idents of Ecumenical Towers attempt to quiet these individuals, they
are hassled and harassed. There has even been one instance when a
beer bottle was thrown through a second floor bedroom window during
the night and broken glass narrowly missed cutting a resident. Need-
less to say, this frightened the resident and many others. On num-
erous occasions, our residents have been afraid to walk across the
alley from the Ecumenical Towers parking lot to the building be-
cause of the people leaving Gabe's who were often "threatening."
Q7
(2)
In addition, those leaving the bar late at night often find it "cute"
to enter Ecumenical Towers' north door and ring all or most of the
entry buzzers which are part of our security system. The north side
of Ecumenical Towers is often cluttered with litter from the patrons
as they leave Gabe's. Three trees have been destroyed and there have
been eight to ten cases where patrons leaving Gabe's used the entry-
way of Ecumenical Towers for a restroom.
During, the spring and summer months of 1983, an off-duty police
officer was hired by the Ecumenical Housing Corporation on an hourly
basis for security purposes. Several warnings were given by the
officer and in some cases charges filed, which would be part of the
public record at the Iowa City Police Department.
All in all, the relationship between Ecumenical Towers, its staff,
residents, and patrons of Gabe's has been quite poor. Despite notices
prepared and posted at Gabe's, it was necessary to build a security
fence around the parking area designated for Ecumenical Towers res-
idents because patrons of Gabe's were parking in this area. When
volunteer residents attempted to police the parking area there were
additional hassles, harassment, vandalism, foul and abusive language
And additional noise.
Finally, there is concern about the music at Gabe's. In the event
that an outside service area/beer garden was to be fully operational,
we fear that the noise level would substantially increase to the
point where it would no longer be bearable to the residents.
With all of these concerns in mind, the Ecumenical Housing Corpor-
ation has determined that there is no conceivable manner in which
an outdoor service area/beer garden at Gabe's would or could be com-
patible with the Ecumenical Towers Project. Therefore, we respect-
fully request that the City Council deny a license for Gabe's to
provide an outdoor service area/beer garden.

RE: Gabes Beer Garden
Compiled is a listing of complaints from Gabe's Bar for a
period of one year.
First in reference to the beer garden in the rear of Gabe's
you will see we have two complaints in one year. One on
September 24, 1983 and one on July 8, 1983. These are
the only ones in reference to the rear of Gabe's considered
the beer garden.
The other group of complaints compiled for the year are
routine calls from fights, drugs or parking inthe front or
in Gabe's Bar.
I don't find in any of these any reason to not allow a
beer garden in the rear of Gabe's.

�- MEMORANDUM
Date: June 28, 1984
To: City Council
From: Bruce A. Knight, Associate Planner. v
Re: Impact of Recent Legislation Regarding Manufactured Housing
Attached is a copy of enrolled Senate File 2228, which has been signed by
the Governor and becomes law on July 1, 1984 (a copy of this legislation
was previously sent to you along with a memo from Dale Helling dated July
13, 1984.) This bill provides that "A city shall not adopt or enforce
zoning regulations or other ordinances which disallow the plans and
specifications of a proposed residential structure solely because the
proposed structure is a manufactured home."
The Iowa City Zoning Ordinance currently allows mobile homes only in the
RMH (Residential -Manufactured Housing) Zone. Since, according to the new
State legislation, some mobile homes may be classified as manufactured
homes, it is necessary for the zoning ordinance to be amended to bring it
into compliance with State law. For this purpose, staff has prepared a
proposed ordinance amending the Zoning Ordinance and is recommending that
the City Council set a public hearing on the proposed ordinance at this
time before the Planning and Zoning Commission's review and consideration.
This action serves to establish a 60 -day moratorium on the issuance of
building permits for any use which would not conform with the proposed
ordinance. This time period would allow the Planning and Zoning Commis-
sion two meetings to review the proposed Zoning Ordinance and the Council
three meetings in which to hold the public hearing and adopt the ordinance
prior to the end of the moratorium period (i.e. August 31, 1984).
According to the new legislation, a "manufactured home" is defined as a
"...factory built structure, which is manufactured or constructed under
the authority of 42 USC Section 5403 and is to be used as a place for
human habitation, but which is not constructed or equipped with a perma-
nent hitch or other device allowing it to be moved other than for the
purpose of moving to a permanent site, and which does not have permanently
attached to its body or frame any wheels or axles." Title 42 of the U.S.
Code, Section 5403, was adopted on August 22, 1974, and authorized the
development of .appropriate federal mobile home construction and safety
standards...." It further provided that once those standards were adopted
(which occurred in June, 1976), "...no state or political subdivision of a
state shall have any authority either to establish or to continue in
effect, with respect to any mobile home covered, any standards regarding
the construction or safety applicable to the same aspect of performance of
such mobile home which is not identical to the federal mobile home
construction and safety standard." (This bill wps subsequently amended in
October, 1980, to change all references of mobile home to manufactured
home.) The effect of this language is to exempt mobile homes from the
city's local Uniform Building Code.
OA
Page 2
As a result of the combination of this federal supremacy language in
regard to the Uniform Building Code and the new State legislation, manu-
factured homes may not be regulated differently than a site -built home
through zoning.
Attached is a copy of the proposed ordinance which would amend the zoning
ordinance to bring it into compliance with the new State law. In addi-
tion, it attempts to address some of the other concerns which this
legislation creates. The following is a brief description of which
sections of the ordinance are proposed for amendment and why.
1. Amendment to Section 36-4(d)(15) and (m)(1), (2) and (4), definitions
of single-family dwelling, manufactured housing, manufactured housing
park and mobile home -
Single-family dwellings are now defined specifically to exclude
"mobile homes." Since some mobile homes may now fall into the
category of "manufactured home," this definition must be amended to
include manufactured homes.
The Iowa City Zoning Ordinance now defines manufactured housing as
including mobile and modular homes. The proposed ordinance would
amend the definition of manufactured housing and tie the definition
directly to the standards set forth by State law, i.e. the Federal
Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards and the require-
ment that it be converted to real property (this is required because
mobile homes taxed as vehicles pay a much lower tax, which goes
directly to the State, versus the property taxes paid by a site -built
dwelling.)
The zoning ordinance defines a manufactured housing park as being
"...for the placement of manufactured housing on leased spaces. Since
manufactured housing redefined, this definition must be altered to
include mobile homes, modular homes and manufactured homes, all of
which could be placed in a park (which must be located in the RMH
zone). In addition, because manufactured homes do not include all
uses permitted in a park, staff proposes to retitle this use a
"Factory -Built Housing Park."
Finally, the definition of mobile home is altered to tie it together
with the definition of manufactured homes and recognize that under
certain circumstances, a mobile home may be a manufactured home.
2. Amendment to the dimensional requirements of the IB, RR -1, RS -5, RS -8,
RS -12, RM -12 and RNC -20 zones -
This amendment requires a minimum building width of 20 feet for at
least 75% of the building's length in all zones where single family
dwellings are allowed (excluded from this requirement are zero lot
line dwellings.) This provision would require that all single family
dwellings (site -built and manufactured homes) have a minimum building
dimension of 20 feet. This requirement addresses the concern that
traditional mobile homes tend to have a different building bulk and
site orientation than site -built homes while placing minimal design
limitations on site -built homes. The 20 foot minimum building
PA
Page 3
dimension would permit "double wide" manufactured homes to be placed
in single family zones. This requirement would not be included in the
RMH zone which allows both manufactured housing parks and subdivi-
sions.
3. Amendment to the title, permitted use and provisional use section of
the RMH zone -
Because manufactured housing, as proposed to be redefined, does not
include all uses permitted in this zone, staff proposes to retitle it
the "Factory -Built Housing Residential (RFBH) zone." While this title
is somewhat awkward, it is more descriptive than the existing title of
RMH would be after the definitional changes are made. Further, the
intent section of this zone must be modified to recognize the new
purpose of this zone in accordance with state law, i.e. as an alterna-
tive to the placement of manufactured housing in the other
single-family residential zones.
The permitted use provisions must also be amended because manufactured
housing is now the only permitted use in the RMH zone. Under the
current definition, manufactured housing includes mobile and modular
homes. Since the definition of manufactured home is being amended,
this section of the ordinance must also be amended to list specific-
ally mobile homes, modular homes and manufactured homes as permitted
uses. Also, the provisional use section of the RMH zone permits one
roomer in manufactured housing. This also must be amended to allow
one roomer in mobile and modular homes.

Dear Mayor McDonald and
Council,
In response to a letter
from Karin Franklin of the Planning Department
asking for Project GREEN's Steering Committee comments on the revised
teee regulations, we would like to make the following comments.
General Applicability.
the, exemption
The language of the�exemption #2 is not clear.
Does the propertyoa building permit have
insufficient yaWto accomodate trees before the
planned remodeling or expansion,or will the construction
called for in the building permit cause the lack of
open space for trees?
h Site Plan
It is very good to ask for a plot plan, site plan,
to be submitted with the building plans when a
building permit is requested. However, the words
landscape plan for trees required in the City's
Ordinance should be included for clarification.
It is our recommendation that the planning department
carefully review the building plan as it relates to
owner's ability to carry out the parking and tree
ordinances. Once a building is started and the
owner;or builder finds out he cannot comply with the
tree or parking ordinances he than seeks a variance.
Careful coordination of building, parking and landscaping
plans and supervision by the planning staff would
would eliminate a lot of variance requests.
Elements of a building such as sidewalks, bike racks,
airconditioner units, overhanging balconys, window
wells, retaini89 walls, transformers and such often
make compliance with the tree ordinance difficult.
These elements of design for a building need to be
part of the site plan and the landscape plan so that
planning staff could show a builder or owner how his
building plan may be heading into trouble with the
parking or tree ordinance. Again, this type of
consultation before the building permit is issued
may reduce variance requests. Ia J
Project GREEN page 2
The final point may cause more work for staff but it seems that
the City Forester needs help in inspecting building sites to see
that the tree ordinance provisions are met by the builder/owner.
The Forester has great demands on his time to maintain the street and
park trees of the city. But inspection is an important part of this
ordinance. He would need help in determining tree placement, caliber,
variety etc. to make sure, as the building inspector does, that the
provisions of the ordinance are carried out. Perhaps a part-time person
is needed.
Respectfully submitted,

Karin Franklin, Planner

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Karin:
Thank you for sending the copy of the revised tree regulations. I
offer the following comments and will be glad to elaborate further
on these items if it seems appropriate to do so.
Sec. 36-72:
(b)-(2). It would seem that the zoning ordinance should require
sufficient yards to permit the tree regulations to be met.
Unfortunately, as evidenced by much recent construction,
this is not so. The ordinance;does not seem to recognize
the need for a reasonable amount of unobstructed open ground
space to permit landscape plantings, tree plantings and
screen plantings in conjunction with a building project.
Rather, such plantings are left to compete for space in
the minimal yards prescribed with sidewalks, driveways,
vehicle parking areas, bicycle rack pads, window wells
steps, ramps, landings, electric transformers, air condi-
tioning condensers, telephone terminals, overhead balconies,
garbage can storage pads, area lighting fixtures, signs,
retaining walls, stormwater intakes, and underground gas,
water, electric, sanitary sewer, telephone and cable TV
lines. It is possible, on an interior lot, to comply with
the yard requirements and have no place left to meet the
tree regulations after accomodating all of these other
essential elements. On a corner lot, as little as 30/ of
yards along the street frontages may be useable for plantings.
I recently encountered a situation on a SF residential
lot where it was impossible to place trees in the most
desireable locations becaUs'e of the maze of underground
utilities in the front yard area.
(c). This list needs a comprehensive review and updating as
soon as possible. Many desireable varieties are not
mentioned. A number of those listed are no longer con-
sidered desireable duei'performance or disease suscepti-
bility observed since their introduction and some are
no longer readily available.
(d). Administrative costs? Interest paid on escrowed amounts?
Who selects trees and installs if escrow funds must be
used to obtain compliance?
1a3P-
June 28, 1984
Tree Regulation Comments
Page 2
(h)-(2). Why not specify the actual botanical and common name
and the size at time of planting for proposed trees and
the accurate identification and size of existing trees.
It wouldn't hurt anyone to do a little advance thinking
about the selection and placement of these trees. Permit
designation of an "acceptable alternate', ij a little
flexibility is needed.
(h)-(3). Suggset: "the location, type and size (caliper) of
existing trees within the right of way and on the site."
Designate "to remain" or " to be removed". How else can
it be determined from the plan whether existing trees
will fulfill part of the tree requirement? Also whether
public trees are being removed that should be replaced?
Sec. 36-73.
(3) Suggests"Placement of trees within street rights -Of -way.
Frontage trees may be planted within the right-of-way in
those cases in which trees meet the following conditions:"
This wording provides much more flexibility in the place-
ment of trees and the design of the most appropriate
landscaping treatment for the site. The negative wording
in the proposed change unnecessarily takes away an option
that may be desireable in the limited number of cases
where it exists.
(3)-(b)-(1)as"Sec.36-58(e)-Off-street parking requirements" refered
to here needs major revisions to permit more flexibility
and the use of imaginative design solutions for large
scale parking areas and for all other parking areas as
well. Arborvitae are not a panacea for, a permanent solu-
tion to or the most creative design tool available for
screening parking areas.
(3)-(c)-(2)bs This would require 16' to 28' between buildings to
allow trees to be placed in the side yards which is
substantially more the the zoning ordinance requires.
Present zoning and building practices essentially eliminate
any tree planting in side yards. Likewise these clearances
in combination with the elements mentioned in the first
comment above can effectively eliminate tree planting
in front, rear and street -side yards in many cases. The
solution, however, is not to reduce these clearance s.
I have mixed feelings about the 1.5" caliper minimum size but think
it is worth a try since the previous requirement was rarely, if ever,
enforced. The incentive to use 2.5" caliper trees as provided in
Sec. 36-73, (3)-(c)(2)a. is a good idea.
IaNt
June 28, 1984
Tree Regulation Comments
Page 3
Revising the tree regulations, however, merely addresses a relatively
minor symptom of what has been for some time and continues, even
under the new zoning ordinance to be a major problem. That problem
is: The lack of sound, detailed, accurate, functional, comprehensive,
aesthetically pleasing site plans for the majority of new constuction
projects and the failure to use such site plans as the primary
determinate of the density of development that the site will accomodate.
Refer a gain to my first paragraph of comments. Most of the elements
mentioned rarely appear accurately, if at all, on site plans submitted
for building permits,zoning change request or Board of Adjustment
appeals. Likewise, detailed grading plans are seldom worked out in
advance of obtaining building permits. Many of the elements mentioned
appear on the site as afterthoughts or become oversights that are
inherited by new owners or occupants. And then someone wonders why
there is no place for children to play, no place for a garden or
swimming pool, no place for a lawn party or no place for a picnic
shelter. Sometimes the parking lot doesn't seem to work, some of the
parking spaces that were on the "site plan" seem to be imaginary.
Sometimes water doesn't drain away or drains to the wrong place.
Re -grading and constructing retaining walls are expensive but not
uncommon "post construction adjustments" in Iowa City.
A properly planned development does not have to be forced onto the
site. A properly planned development will accomodate all of the
aforementioned elements compatibly, functionally and aesthetically.
A properly planned development will have a reasonably proportioned
amount of unobstrcted open space relative to the mass of the
structures and the paved areas. A properly planned development does
not destroy the natural environment from which it seeks to benefit.
A properly planned development does not pass on a legacy of problems
and unnecessary expenses to future owners, occupants and the general
public.
It is time to consider ways and means of encouraging comprehensive
and competent site planning as a prerequisite to any new building
development including even two and four unit condominium structures
and perhaps even for single family structures on sites of irregular
topography or in heavily wooded areas.
With proper site planning, we could have greater variety, more
compatible inter -mixing of land uses, higher densities, more attrac-
tive and functional developments and fewer problems and we wouldn't
e ,�"� orry about having enough room left for a few trees.
