Comment: A copy of the application is attached to the agenda. This street lighting effort was one of the Traffic Engineering Division's objectives for FY83. The right-of-way use permit is necessary because the street lights will be installed on an Iowa Department of Transportation structure. The poles and luminaires to be used are materials salvaged from other street lighting projects that have been refurbished by the Traffic Engineering Division. No new poles or luminaires will be purchased for this project. These lights will provide lighting for an area which normally has a large amount of pedestrian traffic. Additionally, the north bridge will carry two-way traffic during the planned reconstruction of the South Burlington Street bridge. 1 ' y 111CR0 F I[MED BY I ` _ORM --MICR6LA6'- CEDAR RAPIDS DES M014ES "T f J� Agenda Regular Council Meetin6 March 29, 1983 7:30 P.M.

The Planning and Zoning Commission at its regular meeting held March 17, 1983, recommended by a 3-2 vote approval of the preliminary and final LSNRD of R -Plaza.

Balmer: Okay, now, what is our... We talked yesterday about deferral but on another matter and, do we have to wait for these design 1 standards, is that right? Can I, I'd like to move the adoption of the resolution, I'd like to get on the floor for some i discussion. Neuhauser: Yes, go ahead. i Balmer: Move the adoption of the resolution. Lynch: Second. Neuhauser: Moved by Balmer, seconded by Lynch. Discussion. i Balmer: I believe the applicant is here this evening. I think we'd be wise to hear his comments. i Neuhauser: Yesterday we discussed the reservations that I'm not sure who brought up about the, having the residential part of it on the second story so close to the flight path of the airport and that was what we were concerned about and I think we were going to ask for a recommendation from the Airport Commission as to whether this constituted a, a violation or a danger in the flight path. Sueppel: My name is Bill Sueppel, I represent Ken Ranshaw and KSK, the owners of this property. I have not been actively involved in this matter at all until last night. We had talked months ago about this subdivision and how to proceed. We had two alternatives. We have about 3.19 acres of land in different ownerships. We could have kept the different ownerships and proceeded to go ahead and do nothing but a building plan, in which case we would not be before the Council tonight because the building permit would have been granted immediately. We thought in the interest of trying to tell the City Council of the entire plan for that area, that we would keep the land as one tract of 3.19 acres and ask for a large scale residential development. We bought this property 5 years ago; one of the very first things we considered was the proximity of the airport and what the restrictions were. We checked at that time and we found out there were very few restrictions on this property. I i 141CROFILMED BY 1 JORM -MTCR#LA9 _ 1 I CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES !� I I � Subsequent to that there was airport overlay zoning, that we checked out very carefully and found that in order to build on this property, we would have to comply with certain height restrictions and we would have to comply with certain lighting restrictions. Last summer, the engineer for this applicant went to the City on two occasions and ascertained exactly how high any building could be built on that property in conformity with a) the zoning ordinance, b) the Comprehensive Plan, and c) the Planning ordinance. And with that in mind, we then began making our plans to build this particular complex. As part of this plan, the building that is presently located on this premises and practically identical area as to one, where one of the buildings will be located, had a lease and we cancelled the lease effective April 1. We are actually going to allow the people about two additional weeks to move out of those particular premises. We have contracted then, we went to the staff and before we went to the staff we met with the applicant and we said, now you know exactly what you had to do here. The City has its ordinances, it has its plans, make sure that in every single area to the greatest extent possible we comply with the City requirements, because we know that time is of the essence in getting this particular project completed. As I understand it, when it went up before its preliminary, first review by the staff, there were two or three potential areas of deficiency which were cleared up immediately. Staff then, as I understand it, and you'll hear from Bruce, gave its complete approval to the plan as being in conformity with all the ordinances of the City, And we then went before Planning and Zoning. At which time, as I understand it, for the first time a question was raised as to whether you should have residential property in I guess in the flight plan. Now we had never heard anything about this before, the engineer is going to tell you that he made the initial contact with the Airport Commission on December 12, 1982. Following that initial contact he made contact with FAA on February 16, 1983. And we have heard nothing about this until it was raised approximately two weeks ago and then again yesterday. Except that, one of the staff matters was that they wanted to be sure, under the Airport Overlay zoning aspect, that we complied with the lighting requirements so that none of our lights would constitute a hazard. The engineer went to the airport manager and asked the manager to review the lighting, the lighting was approved, there was a recommendation that some red lights be put on the south end of the top of our building and Mr. Ranshaw was out of town, he returned Monday, he was told about this request and of course complied with it immediately. Now, I want you to know that work is scheduled to commence on this project on Monday, on the contractual work. The actual site preparation bulldozing work is scheduled to start in the next couple of days, storage tanks have to raised off this property, footings are going to be, begun around April 11, electrical pads are going to be installed this coming week. We're going to tear the building that's presently there, it's going to be torn down on or about April 19. We're going to begin immediately working the next 1 1 111CROFILMED BY 1. _JORM-MICR#LA9 CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOVIES J day. This building is scheduled for completion on August 1. We have several potential clients, one national client who's indicated that they will lease this premises provided they can be in that building by no later than August 15, so that gives us exactly two weeks from August 1 and our scheduled completion date to have that company in there. I might add that this is not a city company, it's new industry coming into, a new business coming into Iowa City. We also have two other people who are willing to sign leases as soon as this is approved. Finally, I should indicate that materials have been purchased totaling around $28,000 already so that we can start this building. There was no indication at any time that we have not complied with every single ordinance, rule and regulation of this city. It is my understanding that the action of the City Council with all the rest of this that has taken place is really a ministerial act. You shall approve it, as I understand it, if we have complied with all the aspects. Now as far as this question about parking is concerned, we have indicated and the staff will tell you, we have plenty of land to go either way. We designed this for your new ordinance, thinking it's going to be in effect, apparently it isn't, so we can go the other way. There's plenty of land there for the necessary parking and I think the engineer will also confirm that. Ladies and Gentlemen, it is extremely important to us that we be allowed to commence this project immediately. It's going to cause us damage, it's going to cost us money if we're not allowed to do this, because we have these people set to go nexgettthemknextith weekhandahaveeto delay them,gwe mdon't ay or may not get them at a later date. So we do stand to have some substantial loss as a result of this situation. I should also point out to you that in the immediate vicinity of where we're building, there are already second floor apartments on at least three different buildings. You know, I hate to bring this up, but about a year ago at this time I was before you and everyone was extolling the fact that that whole area north of there was a residential area and how great it was that we had all those residences located there and we didn't want someone coming in and making a change. So we have in this particular instance complied precisely, I believe, and of course we'll let Bruce and the City Attorney respond to that. But we ask you, since we heard yesterday that this was going to be deferred, we don't believe that you have any basis for deferring your action in this matter. And it will cause us great damages, as I say, we are scheduled to begin work Monday, we are scheduled to be completed by August 1. If we get a substantial delay on this matter, we could incur great dollar damages so I ask you, I'll respond to any questions now, ask you then if you would approve of this tonight. Neuhauser: Well there are two questions that you have in mind, one is the parking standards and one, the other question of the safety in the flight path. You said we had to defer this i P1ICROEILMED BY 1. 'JORM- MICRbLAB- .� ' CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOIRES I !� I i i \ t 4 ^ until we accepted the parking standards but since the new parking standards are more restrictive than the old ones, why would they not conform? Berlin: Apparently they have indicated a willingness to conform to the new standards. They have gone on record as saying they'll conform whether they're passed or not. Sueppel: We'll go either way. Berlin: ..public record the Council's willing to accept that, I suppose that's appropriate. Neuhauser: Okay. Balmer: I have no problem with that. I i Knight: I think there is additional space that would require movement of the building and probably a reduction in the j number of spaces, providing quite a few additional spaces 11 at this time, so that's not a problem. The reason they don't comply is because the new ordinance, 1) reduces the i size of the standard space from 9X20 to 9X19, the new ordinance also permits up to one-third of the spaces to be compact spaces which are 8X15. Jf Neuhauser: I guess, I would think if we could have an agreement that they would abide by the new standards. 1 Knight: Again, there is space there, I don't think there's any question about that. r Neuhauser: Another problem? Lynch: There's some people here. i Neuhauser: Fred? i Zehr: Yes, about two weeks ago when the FAA... Neuhauser: Would you put your, identify... Zehr: I'm Fred Zehr, Airport Commission. About two weeks ago when I spoke with the FAA regarding the matter of the grant that's before us for $295,000. We were working out some details on that and finalizing the arrangements on that. They brought up the matter of the R -Plaza that's going onto the north of the airport and indicated that they were drafting a letter with some concerns about it. And the next evening I went to the P&Z meeting and informed them of that and today, I spoke with the FAA and they read to me over the phone the content of that letter. I � rl- r-. 141CROFILMED BY __1._i DORM` -MIC RdC�A B'" • % CEDAR RAPIDS DES'MOINES i -- - - ---- j 5 a Lynch: Would you identify this individual for us? Who at the FAA? i Zehr: 011ie Ohlman, he's with the planning division. The FAA... Neuhauser: Why didn't they send this letter before? Zehr: Oh, it has to go through all the different divisions and everything else down there. It takes a long time for something to get approved and through and out, and again, what they read to me was just a draft and it still has to be seen by the regional chief and—what I have here doesn't mean that's what's going to be sent. If you want to hear it, I'll read it to you. i Neuhauser: I don't know, I'll ask the City Attorney whether that would be proper. If it isn't even an official letter. JPerret: This is not a public hearing, don't see why we can't hear it. iJ Lynch: I want to hear it. j Perret: I do too. Jansen: I think it's within the discretion of the Council as a matter of information to the Council. It's not a formal bit of evidence as far as I'm concerned. t _ Zehr: (reads draft letter to end of tape) airport and one of the buildings would be on the extended center line, runway center ; line of 1735 at least according to the proponent's sketch it I would be and the other immediately west of center line. According to the notice received, the building would be a two story structure with commercial/ residential apartments on the first floor and apartment dwellings only on the second floor. j The proposed building would be in the runway 17 clear zone as established during your recent airport master plan study. Residential development within this area would be incompatible with airport operations and would urge that your airport commission use any and all means available to them to prevent this construction. Section S11A.5 of the Airport and Airways Improvement Act of 1982 requires that sponsors of an airport development project under the act render assurances in writing to the FAA that appropriate action including adoption of zoning laws has been or will be taken to the extent reasonable to restrict the use of land adjacent to or in the immediate vicinity of the airport to activities and purposes compatible with normal airport operations including landing and takeoff of aircraft. This assurance will be required in any future grant agreement between the FAA and the city. That will be signed by the regional chief, Jack Sasser, if that's the way it's sent out. i IF i MICROFILMED BY _ I 1 -JORM--'MICR6LAB" 1 -1 �'.•.., CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES i 1 Lynch: ...It is in the clear zone? What do they mean by that. Zehr: The clear zone is a trapezoidal area that starts 200 feet off the end of the runway, starting at a width 500 feet extending out 1000 feet to a width of 700 feet. Neuhauser:How far away is that in Iowa City terms? What area does that cover? Zehr: The area right off the end of the runway right out to the highway. Neuhauser:Just as far as the highway, no farther? Zehr: It's just on the north edge of the highway where it ends. aLynch: From all buildings that are within, how wide a trapezoid? j Zehr: It starts 500 feet wide and goes out 700 feet wide at the 1000 I feet, so it's a very slim, somewhat rectangular. Balmer: How come there's never been any concern ever expressed previously on some of these other areas? Zehr: This is a surprise to me, we passed the tall structures overlay zone. In the past, I was always under the assumption that they were concerned about buildings protruding up into the approach corridor to the airport, and this is the first I've heard of any i objection to this one. I know there are other buildings in that area and I, this is the first I've heard of objection from the FAA. j , i Balmer: These buildings are not, from what I understand, are not going to be any taller than what is there, is that right? Mr. Sueppel, these buildings, proposed buildings, are not to be any i taller... Zehr: They're not objecting from what I understand to the size of the buildings or the buildings being there, it's the use of them in that there's residential. If it would have been stated on the notice of proposed construction that was just commercial office space, there probably would have been no problem from the FAA. i They just feel that putting a residential area right under the center line of a runway, with the noise of aircraft, the City's just leaving themselves open for a lot of problems and complaints from people that are going to be living there. And so they deem this as incompatible. Lynch: Do you view it or have they viewed it, indicated to you there's any danger? It's one thing to have a noise problem, and admittedly it's really inconsistent. Because we're getting a lot of complaints about noise and the airport and admittedly here we are allowing more residences. So I kind of agree with the FAA is saying. But regardless of that, is there any real, have they indicated there is any real danger.. I i f 9 MICROFILMED BY 1.-- 1 ' ��'-•.:, "JORM�MIC R(I'LC_AB_ 1 J ( CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES L� Zehr: Well, the FAA in a clear zone. The ideal situation would be of course that the land be clear of all obstructions, buildings and everything. But, know, you the real world they realize that this can't always be done and so they put height restrictions on buildings in this area and they just feel that residential would j be incompatible with airport use. I don't think there's any real laws or regulations prohibited this. Neuhauser: But it isn't so much danger as noise? Is that it? Zehr: I think it's mostly the noise. Of course, you know clear zone right off the end of the runway would have to be considered a hazardous area. Neuhauser: I think there is a, it seems to be, a distinction in that because anybody renting an apartment there is going to see that airport and be put on notice that this is going to be a noisy place to live. If you can stand the noise. Zehr: They haven't come out and said "no, we object to this because it's a safety hazard and a danger." Neuhauser: They have not said that. Zehr: E They have not said that. + Lynch: I think that's important that we say that because we have a whole lot of houses that were built around the airport long after the airport, now they're complaining as if they were there first. So at least if the Council is going to choose to pass this tonight, I think it helps to say it once more. It's kind of tough luck if you move into those places. Balmer: I don't the problem has been as bad. Fred, have you gotten the complaints that.. Zehr: ( We've changed our southwest -northeast. primary runway from the north -south to the i Balmer: I haven't heard the complaints, not maybe they haven't been as... Zehr: I haven't been receiving them either. Neuhauser: I'd like to also ask the whole question about how much flexibility have we on this. or whether in fact it is a ministerial act? Jansen: I do not think you have very much flexibility. The reason that the LSNRD ordinance simply provides upon planning and zoning recommendations to the Council you may accept final or reject it. It's been a consistent staff interpretation that the meaning of your power of rejections extends from the fact that the plan may not be in full compliance with all codes, including j 141CROFILMED BY 1_. JORM--MICR6CAB'- I CEDAR RAPIDS DES I401:IES Ji 1 8 the zoning code. If you had any more authority to reject for any reason other than that, it seems to me you may be subject to an attack on the grounds that you're exercising your power arbitrarily or without reasonable grounds to do so, because there is no criteria spelled out in the ordinance to give you what you may reject it for, other than for noncompliance, so I think that's a very sticky question and it has been pretty much the staff view and it's my view that this is basically a ` ministerial act. If everything is in compliance as it has been certified to you in effect by staff and P&Z, then I think you would have to go ahead and approve this. Now I think, not to get confused with the airport commission questin here, because this is in full compliance with our existing tall structures ordinance and it has been verified, and the airport commission has no authority or jurisdiction over our city codes in this matter. They can make a recommendation to you, but it has no force of law. Neuhauser: But probably in the future it would be advisable if the FAA has taken this position to amend our ordinance. Jansen: I think that's one very clear message from the FAA that we do have some very substantial grants pending and those grants probably are going to get not the fullest approval or priority approval unless we do do some amending in the future on our tall I structures ordinance to get it in sort of compliance. Again, this is not the force of federal law but it is a force of j federal grants. II i Neuhauser: My inclination is that, since there has been nobody who said, it presenst any danger to people living there. That we should go ahead and grant this rather than to decide at the last minute that we're going to change. Balmer: I feel very strongly that way. In light of the comments made by the City Attorney and Mr. Sueppel I think we have good reason to j support this particular... McDonald: Subject to compliance with the new parking standards. Perret: I have just one question on the reference by the FAA of noise. Would that, perhaps more of a question to the City Attorney, would that fall under any of our welfare requirements, health, safety, welfare?. Jansen: There are a lot of cases throughout the country where airports have been sued for noise. Noise abatement. As a general proposition, I can't say. I really don't know David. There is always an element in this cases it seems to me of choosing where you want to live. And these are not jet aircraft flying in, little prop plans make a fair amount of noise. If we were sued, it seems to me one of the things the court can actually do is require us to adopt some type of noise abatement procedures for these aircraft. I don't know what the state of the art is now 14ICROFILI4ED BY JORM...-MICR6L'AB._ .._� CEDAR RAPIDS • DES I401AE5 i r 0 at this time for you to do that. I don't, in my view that would not be a serious threat. Perret: I have a question to ask Mr. Zehr. Is it not true that the runway which, that runway which is in question here is being downgraded as a major runway, in other words, it's not to be utilized in the future as a major runway. Zehr: That is true, we've effective a day after tomorrow, we have a new instrument approach going in on our new primary runway, runway 2/4. It's an RNAV approach and also it's part of that if we get our new localizer approach on that end extend that runway out to the southwest or relocate it slightly. We will also be threshholding the 1/7 end of that runway 300 feet further to the south which would keep the traffic a little higher over that area. So yes, most of the traffic should be coming in and landing on runway 2/4 because that is now the nighttime lit runway, that the pilots do have the option of lighting up the other runway. Perret: So they still could land on the other... Zehr: They still could, yes. We set that up recently with the state grant, the 50-50 matching grant with the State IDOT to have all the runway lights controllable by the pilots coming in so they could make the safest approach into the airport at night depending on weather conditions. { Lynch: Just one further point, we do have small jets that land. i Zehr: Yes, we do. Lynch: We regularly have small jets coming in...I just, I think maybe if anything, we really ought to give this some type of priority to get the staff to work with the FAA or whatever it's going to take so we don't keep facing this problem, you know. Neuhauser: Right. i Dickson: Right. Zehr: The impression I received from them is that we probably should consider amending our tall structures overlay zone to restrict residential area in a clear zone area around the airport. Neuhauser:As soon as you get the official word we will work on that. Dickson: There is a possibility that a plane could use that runway. Zehr: Oh, yes. 10 I I Dickson: And how about taking off on that runway? Zehr: Now taking off to the south, it wouldn't be a factor because they would be Dickson: Simply landing.. I Zehr: Well, landing to the south but with the runway light on 2/4 out to the southwest and not being lit it would be less of a hassle. l And there wouldn't be that much difference at night, wind 1 iconditions usually go light and variable, where they would use i that runway for landing... -- - Dickson: So there is an element of danger? Zehr: Well, of course. You know there is some of end of any runway. Balmer: No matter where you go in the City... Dickson: So it's not really quite so easy to wipe this out and say f there's no danger to put a residential area there. If there's a possibility at all I think that... Zehr: There's the possibility off any of the runways, anywhere... Dickson: I know, but to add more residential, more residential building... i t F Neuhauser: I think what Fred was saying is that ideally you have no I structures at all. Zehr: Yea, that's the ideal situation. i 3 Dickson: I understand that, Neuhauser:It's a balancing act. Dickson: So this is a kind of encroachment on the airfield really. Zehr: That's the way the FAA views it, yes. Lynch: Your house and my office. j Dickson: But not my house. Neuhauser: Are there any other questions or comments, any further discussion? I think we have a motion on the floor. Roll call. Jansen: Neuhauser? 1 MICROFILMED BY l—�— � „ ( JOR M"MICR461:.4E3'- 1 II CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOIRES � 4 r I da,7ef641. WM, �.e�ukd 9 .

Action - Item No. 12 - PUBLIC HEARING ON BUDGET ESTIMATE FOR THE FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 1983, THROUGH JUNE 30, 1984. Comment: This second public hearing is being held at the request of the State Comptroller's office, because the Public Hearing Notice published for the first public hearing on the Budget, held March 1, 1983, included the transit levy property tax dollar amount as a receipt in the Transit Enterprise Fund instead of in the General Fund. The State feels that the proper method of budgeting for the Transit Levy is to receipt those property tax dollars into the General Fund and then to transfer those monies from the General Fund to the Transit Enterprise Fund. Even though the first public hearing notice correctly gave the total levy amount per $1000 assessed valuation, the State feels the public was not properly notified of the City's Intention to levy the Transit Levy since the tax dollar amount was not included with the General Governmental property tax amount. Therefore, the State has determined that the City should republish the Public Hearing Notice, hold a second public hearing and reapprove the FY84 Operating Budget, before it will approve the City's Transit Levy.

I Page 19 Item No. 28 - CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES, CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA, BY ADDING THERETO ARTICLE RI WHICH PROVIDES FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. (second consideration) Comment: This ordinance creates the transit service as a separate Department of Public Transportation. The ordinance immediately following repeals a provision of the Code which states that the transit service is a division of the Public Works Department. The purpose of this ordinance is to establish what has in effect existed in practice for a substantial number of years. As the transit service has grown and there has been increased Council and public interest in transit, the transit division has operated as a separate function reporting directly to the City Manager. These ordinances will not make any financial, policy or other administrative changes. Also, this ordinance is similar to the other departmental ordinances which appear in the Code.
