The City of Iowa City has been directed to review the material and notify.FEMA within thirty (30) days of any comments, including obvious errors, which might justify modification of the maps. The Engineering Division, Planning Department, and Shive-Hattery 8 Associates, Iowa City's consultant for the project, are currently reviewing the materials. Revisions to the previous maps include areas within the Ralston Creek, South Branch Ralston Creek, Iowa River, Willow Creek, Clear Creek, and Rapid Creek watersheds. A) RALSTON CREEK The base flood elevations are proposed to be decreased as follows: - from the Iowa River to Benton Street...2 1/2' to 7' respectively - from Benton Street to LaFayette Street ... 7'to 6' respectively - from LaFayette Street to the Rock Island Railroad tracks 6' - from the Rock Island Railroad tracks to Gilbert Street...6' to 4' respectively - from Gilbert Street to Burlington Street...4' to 2 1/2' respec- tively - from Burlington Street to Washington Street...2 1/2' to 2' respec- tively - from Washington Street to Johnson Street...2' to 1 1/2' respectively - from Johnson Street to Lucas Street...l 1/2' to 3 1/2' respectively - from Lucas Street to Evans Street ... 3 1/2' to 1 1/2' respectively - from Evans Street to Jefferson Street ... 1 1/2' to 2' respectively - from Jefferson Street to Rochester Avenue. .2' to 4' respectively - from Rochester Avenue to outlet of North Branch Dam ... 4' to 3' respectively - from outlet of North Branch Dam to upstream boundary of backwater from North Branch Dam and then to Scott Boulevard ... 3' to 0' respectively The 100 -year flood boundary lines are proposed to be closer to the creek, most appreciably between the Iowa River and Burlington Street. In fact, 100 -year flood boundary lines and the top of the creek bank are one and the same between Kirkwood Avenue and the Rock Island Railroad tracks. /71 2 B. SOUTH BRANCH RALSTON CREEK The base flood elevations are proposed to be decreased as follows: - from junction with Ralston Creek to College Street. ..1 1/2' to 0 respectively - from College Street to 2nd Avenue... l' or less - from 2nd Avenue to 1st Avenue... 1' to 1 1/2' respectively - from 1st Avenue to Meadow Street ... 1 1/2' to 3' respectively - from Meadow Street to Brookside Drive ... 3' to 2' respectively - from Brookside Drive to South Branch Dam... 2' to 1' respectively The 100 -year flood boundary lines are proposed to be closer to the creek in some areas, but this revision is of small magnitude. C. IOWA RIVER Johnson County is also completing revisions to their Flood Insurance Study. Therefore, to correct mismatches with the Johnson County study, the base flood elevations for the Iowa River from Burlington Street to the south corporate limits of Iowa City are proposed to be increased from l' to 2' respectively. The proposed revisions termi- nate at the Burlington Street Dam. D. WILLOW CREEK Due to the proposed modifications to the flood information for the Iowa River as specified previously, the 100 -year flood boundary lines for Willow Creek are proposed to be expanded near the south corporate limits of Iowa City . Also, the previous maps incorrectly show the south corporate limits of Iowa City where Willow Creek joins the Iowa River; the new maps include the small area (previously excluded) which is, for the most part, within the 100 -year flood boundary of Willow Creek. E. CLEAR CREEK The 100 -year flood boundary lines for Clear Creek are proposed to be expanded near the west corporate limits of Iowa City. This proposed revision is very small. F. RAPID CREEK Flood information, including base flood elevations and 100 -year flood boundary lines, is proposed to be shown for that part of Rapid Creek in Iowa City. tp5/1 / 7/9 Jam. tt '� ry a t. �4� �t %1�Fx rs ZW ''-"_ KIM, jrtq 'apt �elcr ---------- 200' perimeter established by amendment shaded lot -Lots which may trigger extraordinary a ri Yv udta under rurrant nrdinan e DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATING AMENDMENT, SECTION 36-88 Scale 1" = 60' rs ---------- 200' perimeter established by amendment shaded lot -Lots which may trigger extraordinary a ri Yv udta under rurrant nrdinan e DIAGRAM ILLUSTRATING AMENDMENT, SECTION 36-88 Scale 1" = 60' ORDINANCE NO.

MEMORANDUM Date: September 5, 1984 K241ILtEIMINARY To: File t0Approul. From: Zoning Code Interpretation Panel Re: Section 36-58 - Striping and Maintenance of Striping for Parking Spaces The Zoning Code Interpretation Panel met on August 31, 1984, to review a request submitted by the City Council questioning whether the Zoning Ordi- nance required the continued maintenance of striping for parking spaces after their delineation in parking areas. According to the introductory paragraph of Section 36-58, off-street parking requirements, it states that "off-street parking and stacking spaces, aisles and drives shall be provided and maintained (emphasis added) in compliance with the (requirements of the subject section)." According to subparagraph (c)(2)j of this section, "in all parking areas (which consist of more than four parking spaces) required by this Chapter, parking spaces shall be visibly delineated on the surface by painted or marked stripes." "'Visibil- ity," according to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionar , has the quality of being apparent„ conspicuous, or recogniza e. The Panel unanimously agreed that as long as parking spaces could be identi- fied, according to the stripes which delineate them, the conditions of the above subparagraph have been met. At such time as the nature of the stripes did not permit immediate identification of the parking spaces, the parking area will be in noncompliance with the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. The owner of the parking area would then be responsible for bringing it into compliance to avoid penalty according to the terms of the ordinance. /sp 1%o?F ORDINANCE NO. --- ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE PENALTIES FOR DEFEATED PARKING VIOLATIONS FOR OVERTIME PARKING BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA: SECTION I.
