Citv Conference Board: February 14, 1983, at 4:30 PM at the Civic Center in
Iowa C ty. Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding.

rdO
Johnson County Supervisors Present: Sehr, Donnelly.
School Board Members Present: Phelps, T. Cilek.
Others Present: Berlin, Melling, Karr, Jansen, Hudson (plus two deputies).
Taoe Recorded: Reel 83-3, Side 1, 146-851.
Neuhauser noted that a quorum was present and opened the public hearing on the
Iowa City Assessor's proposed budget for FY84.
Caroline Dieterle, 741 Dearborn, asked about the basis for the Vanguard
Appraisal Company's commercial property valuations. William Steward, president
of Vanguard Appraisal Co., replied that the primary basis according to State
Code must be market value from the sale of comparable properties. If that is
impossible, then the income approach to value must be used to determine a fair
and reasonable value. Dieterle questioned the assessment of Proctor and Gamble
and the Old Capitol Mall because of the effect of the economy on actual value.
Stewart stated that there were enough sales of commercial property to get
relatively accurate appraisals on that basis. Dieterle asked how long Vanguard
would take to reappraise residential property in Iowa City and how much it would
cost if they received the contract. Mr. Steward replied that it would take
approximately two years but had no figures on cost. Steward stated that the bid
to the City of $16 per house appraised was based on his 16 years as an appraiser
and he would expect to actually go into 85%-90% of all houses during the
appraisal process.
The assessor stated that in spite of Iowa City's superior record in asset,-ment,
the City wants to have properties reinspected before entry into the computer
system. Having an outside contractor do the reinspection will be more
economical than adding staff to the Assessor's office.
Neuhauser declared the public hearing closed. Moved by City, seconded by the
County, to adopt the budget.
Discussion
Balmer raised concern about lack of comparables to help in appraisal of
commercial property and asked how many commercial properties were actually
inspected. Steward replied that at least 95% were actually entered as noted on
property record card. In response to stated concerns, Vanguard has met with the
Chamber of Commerce and (beginning on February 14, 1983) with concerned
commercial property owners. Vanguard does the initial appraisal and would
respond to any taxpayer that protests assessment including making changes if

appropriate. The taxpayer, if dissatisfied, goes to the assessor, the board of
review, and finally the courts.
In response to questions, Hudson stated that although properties are reappraised
every evaluation year, most recently in 1981, an outside firm hasn't done an
appraisal since 1971. The assessor's office adjusts value without re-entering
property. Large changes in assessed values have occurred in part because of
improvements to properties.
Vanguard was selected without a bid, but after comparisons with other appraisal
firms. Approval of the budget includes funds for the new appraisal but does not
specify that the work must be done by Vanguard. An outside appraisal helps
eliminate inequities that might develop when only the assessor's office does the
appraisals.
No one felt that the appraisal should be done by the assessor's office rather
than an independent contractor. Neither did anyone feel that the re -appraisal
wasn't needed at all.
The motion to adopt the budget was passed unanimously.
Discussion on Residential reappraisal desired for 3/14/83 meeting should
include:
i
1. Names of potential employees;
2. Informal quotes;
3. Qualifications;

5. Where they have previously worked;
6. References; !
7. Methodology;
8. Experience with Iowa law;
9. Sales ratios; and
10. Coefficients of dispersion from last jobs.
Moved by the City, seconded by the County, to set 4:30 PM, 3/14/83, as the
meeting date to fill vacancy on Board of Review.
Moved to adjourn by County, seconded by School Board and unanimously passed.

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
FEBRUARY 14, 1983
Informal Council Discussion: February 14, 1983, 4:45 p.m. in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding.
Council Members Present: Balmer, Neuhauser, McDonald, Lynch, Perret, Erdahl
Absent: Dickson.
Staffinembers Present: Berlin, Helling, Karr, Jansen, Vitosh, Kimble, Bouthroy,
Franklin, Knight, Milkman, Showalter, Lundell.
Tape-recorded: Reel 83-3, Side 1, 851-1250
It was decided to change the order on the agenda and begin with the Planning and
Zoning matters not previously discussed.
Planning and Zoning Applications
Beverly Manor Congregate Care Facility, 605 Greenwood Drive. Knight stated that
the Planning and Zoning Commission and staff recommended approval of the
preliminary and final Large Scale Residential Development plan. The plan is for
a 16 -unit care facility on the site of an existing nursing home. There was a
variance granted on the parking, reducing the parking from 20 to 11 spaces.
They meet all code requirements and set back from the R.O.W. the required
distances.
Knight stated that the remainder of the items on the Zoning agenda were repeat
items and there was no further discussion.
Council Agenda and Council Business
1. Item 6. Lundell stated that the new Iowa City Transit facility is ready
for bid. The staff has had all concerns addressed including the slight
problem with one of the equipment bidders. There have been no basic
changes in the building plan since the original discussion. Berlin stated
that the solar energy design has changed slightly to a glass wall design
and there will be a balanced heating system. Lundell explained that the
entire building will be bid out, excluding the exterior asphalt paving.
The federal government has already approved the plan.
2. Item 16. Balmer asked if any work had been done last year towards the East
Side Trunk Sewer Elimination project. Berlin will check on that. Balmer
asked if the sewer contract with the University was reevaluated annually.
Berlin said that the University was treated like any other customer with
the same rates as anyone else. Perret asked if City staff could do the East
Side Trunk Sewer Elimination project design work. Berlin stated he would
report back.
3. Perret brought up the clear cutting on the R.O.W. of the Rock Island
.Railroad continuing through the weekend. He asked if a letter had been
written and if the City Attorney had a comment on the City's power to
i MICROFILMED By

CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES
i �
K
regulate their clear cutting. Neuhauser replied that a letter had been
sent to Rock Island. Jansen commented that the City has little power to
regulate the clear cutting as long as the railroad stays on its own
property. Jansen will check to see if some sort of buffer zone can be set
up along the R.O.W.
4. Balmer asked about the Westminister Street repair funds coming out of
pollution control operating budget instead of the sewer fund. Berlin
replied that it is appropriate, based on previous Council decisions.
5. Balmer asked about the Systems Unlimited, Inc. memo regarding their
qualifying for CDBG funding. Milkman stated that the funds are only
available for construction in a revitalization area such as the 5403 area;
for use to acquire a site and make site improvements; or to purchase an
existing structure and adapt it.
6. Neuhauser stated that she would delay a decision on the construction of T -
hangars at the airport until a greater demand can be shown.
7. Neuhauser is preparing to screen candidates for City Clerk and return to
the Council with three prospects. She stated the City Clerk should be a
recordkeeper and not a minute taker. The minutes for informal meetings
needn't be as elaborate as formal meeting minutes and should only indicate
the direction and summary of the meeting. Lynch noted that Cedar Rapids
uses very brief minutes. The discussion noted the full range of
possibilities from no minutes written to explicit, detailed minutes. The
Council agreed to look further into the issue, focusing on the cost of
minutes and the ability of the Clerk to work on recordkeeping. The Clerk
still must approve all minutes. Neuhauser expressed concern about the
residency requirement for the new City Clerk.
8. Item 18. Balmer asked if the Council and staff fully examined ways to
reduce the budget. Neuhauser commented that one area that would help
increase the year-end balance would be to switch money from the parking
fund to the general for the Recreation Center parking lot. In previous
years, a higher balance was maintained to guard against the effects of high
inflation. Now the budget is under better control because of better
projections and two-year union contracts. The concern expressed is that in
the future a higher year-end balance might be required to guarantee a
reasonable cash flow. In the current budget there aren't places to reduce
money without cutting into programs.
9. Item 13a. There was a consensus to reappoint Nancy Jordison to fill the
unexpired term of Edward R. Raupp. Erdahl praised the Housing Market
Analysis as a great job. Ile noted that the post-war baby boom has affected
the sector of building. Neuhauser pointed out that ramifications to the
Zoning Ordinance has been discussed with regard to Analysis
recommendations.
10. Milkman emphasized that a rental rehabilitation program is an interest of
the CCN, especially while interest rates are low. The aim is getting
decent rental property available for people who need it. She also noted
that the mean rent figures are not particularly accurate in the Analysis
and will be changed appropriately.

11. Neuhauser noted that it would be unwise to reconstruct Dubuque Street from
Iowa Avenue to Park Road when the State is planning major work on Highway 1
because of traffic routing problems.
MANDATORY PARKLAND DEDICATON
Showalter presented material and Part two with maps, formulas and mechanics was
covered in detail. There is a nationwide trend towards upholding Parkland
Dedication ordinances in court but there is no Iowa precedence. There is an
additional cost to the development and ultimately to the first buyer of about
$865 per dweller. The primary inequity seems to be that new developments will
include parks that are paid for by area residents while existing developments
have parks paid for by the public in general. In some developments, the park
area cannot be used for construction anyway. The principal minimum feature of
such a part should be the inclusion of a play field (a level area of
approximately one acre). It should be noted that the cost of open space is
generally recovered by the resident upon sale. There may be a provision in
zoning ordinances to allow higher density to make up for the park space.
Meeting adjourned 7:20 p.m.

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION
FEBRUARY 22, 1983
Informal Council Discussion: February 22, 1983, at 4:30 PM, in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding.
Councilmembers Present: Neuhauser, Balmer, Dickson, Lynch, McDonald, Perret.
i
Absent: Erdahl.
i Staff Members Present: Berlin, Helling, Jansen, Karr, Schmeiser
Tape Recorded: Reel 83-3, Side 2, fi1-1481
i
Proposed Zoning Ordinance/Commercial Office Zone (CO -1)
Schmeiser explained that the CO -1 zone is very similar to the present CO zone,
permitting any type of office use plus compatible uses. He referred the Council
to the additional regulations section covering other permitted uses. The CO -1
zone does permit multi -family uses unlike the current CO zone. The CO -1
designation stands for Commercial Office with a floor area ratio of 1. All
commercial and industrial development is measured by the floor area ratio
1 instead of the density requirements of residential. A floor area ratio of 1
indicates that a one story building could cover the entire lot, a two story
building could cover half the lot, etc. CB -8, for example, could have an 8 story
building cover an entire lot in the downtown business district. In the CO -1
zone, Group Care facilities refer to the Additional Regulations section.
Provisional uses are considered acceptible in a zone but not the primary use of
the zone.
Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN -1)
CN -1 is analogous to the current C-1 zone but the C-1 is less conducive to
maintaining the neighborhood. Grocery stores and drug stores are the primary
use but barbershops, laundromats, etc. would also be permitted. The provision's
wording will be changed to prohibit filling stations from within 100 feet of
residential zones.
Community CommercialZone (CC -2)
CC -2 is intended to be the general commercial zone and is most similar to the
current C2 zone. It permits most commercial uses including CN -1 uses.
Riverside Drive would be CC -2. Existing auto oriented uses would be permitted
but additions will be subject to approval by the Board of Adjustment as special
exceptions. Some parts of South Riverside Drive could be zoned Highway
Commercial (CH -1) if it currently is primarily service stations.
Central Business Zone (CB -8)
Schmeiser stated that the Central Business Zone is the same as the current
Central Business Zone with building allowed to 8 stories high occupying the full
lot or 16 stories high occupying half the lot. There are incentives under
special provisions for businesses conforming to the off-street loading
requirements or providing for pedestrial zones. Schmeiser explained the CB -8
side yard and lot width requirement will be forthcoming.
I

CEDAR RAPIDS DES 1101NES C
Intensive Commercial Zone (CI -1)
Schmeiser stated that the CI -1 zone is for land consumptive commercial use such
as Mobile Nome sales. An area of South Gilbert will be CI -1. The maximum of 50%
retail display is meant to limit retail uses in other areas of the community.
Concrete and cement operations will be eliminated from the special exception
provision. The location of dwelling units in the zone was an area of concern to
the Planning and Zoning Commission.
Office and Research Park Zone (ORP)
The ORP is the same as the current zone. An example is at the intersection of
Highway 1 and I-80. The Council decided to change hotels, motels and
restaurants from permitted uses to special exceptions.
General Industrial Zone (I-1)
The I-1 zone is very similar to M-1 but limited to general industrial uses.
Council discussed whether chemical and allied products manufacture should be
allowed. Schmeiser noted that the forthcoming performance standards will help
limit objectionable uses. Council discussed zoning out heavy industrial use
entirely.
Heavy Industrial Zone (I-2)
I-2 zone will be rewritten by Planning and Zoning Department to eliminate uses
deemed inappropriate. Council will be provided with a list of possible uses to
evaluate. The permitted uses under I-2 will be switched to special exceptions
under I-1.
Public Zone (P)
The Public Zone is all areas owned by some governmental body. Lynch suggested
zoning Public Zones with a residual zone which would control property reverting
to private use and zoning city property, currently zoned under Public Zones,
with the standard zones. Berlin noted that the City already develops in
accordance with city performance standards.
provision controlling the rezoning of propertSchmeiser explained the special
Grove Park and City Pipeyard y reverting to private use. Elm
were noted as examples. Council agreed to add a
special provision controlling rezoning of Public Zone zoned property when it is
conveyed to private ownership. Legal staff will research an exact proposal.
Additional Regulations
Schmeiser said that most of these regulations are the same as the current
ordinance. The attempt is to list uses which have unique features which should
be addressed. Schmeiser said that daycare centers would only be located with
access to arterial streets. A daycare center in a residential area would be
permitted as a special exception. If there is a break in the use of at least six
months, the special exception would expire. Drive-in theaters are, for all
practical purposes, prohibited except in Ag zones. The additional regulations
are only in effect zones where noted.
Residential Zones
Neuhauser said that she has received complaints about four unrelated people
being allowed in single family zones. Council agreed that more restrictive
language would eliminate roomers. The new ordinance does require an additional
parking space for each roomer. The legal staff will provide additional
information to Council.

Council Agenda and Council Business
1. Item 6. Perret raised a question about the removal and replacement of the
sidewalk vaults and sidewalk on Dubuque Street between Washington Street
and Iowa Avenue and why the First National Bank was exempt from the
designed work and not the Best Steak House. Berlin stated that the Bank
hasn't any vaults on Dubuque Street but does have one on Washington.
2. Item 14. Lynch requested an update on the technical services contract of
Zuchelli. Berlin stated that Zuchelli will represent the City once direct
negotiations begin with HUD, and explained the developer of the hotel will
pay his share of Zuchelli's fees once UDAG is approved. Neuahuser raised
concerns that the terms of the contract seemed too general. Berlin replied
that he will ask Zuchelli for the cost of the hotel review, the cost of UDAG
negotiations, and preparation of UDAG including Beck's work. Consensus was
to defer the item until more information is available.
3. Item 15. Berlin stated that the exact area and amounts for the Kimball
Road Special Sidewalk Assessment project will be given at the public
hearing 3/29/83.
4. Neuhauser would like to meet with the Iowa DOT concerning the Highway 1
project with regard to a turning lane into HyVee, a bike path, and the cost
to bring the Highway 1 project up to city standards. Berlin said Ire would
write to Durham with a copy to Henley in this regard.
PARKING CBD
Berlin stated that the original parking ramp plans did not account for the
design of the two additional levels or the amount of time for the
construction. Berlin asked if the split of responsibility between City
staff and an outside consultant on a comprehensive parking study is the
approach that should be taken. Discussion followed as to the appropriate r
time to hire a consultant and utilizing City staff for the parking study.
Berlin explained that the City staff could be used to project parking
revenues and parking needs; look at alternative parking sites; and
coordinate parking needs with the University, Mercy Hospital and the
