STAFF REPORT
To: Planning & Zoning Commission Prepared by: Karin Franklin .
Item: A-8204 and Z-8204. Date: July 15, 1982
West Side Company
GENERAL INFORMATION:
Applicant: Earl M. Yoder & West Side Co.
P.O. Box 2000
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Requested Action: Annexation of 70 acres and
rezoning from County Commercial
and Residential to C2.
Purpose: To develop a commercial use within
the corporate boundaries.
Location: South of the Iowa City corporate
limits and north of Highway 1 in j
Johnson County near Willow Creek.
Size: 70 acres.
ANALYSIS:
West Side Company has requested the annexation and zoning to C2 of approximately
70 acres south of and contiguous to Iowa City, just east of the Ty'n Cae Part 3
development. The north 40 acres of this area (Tract I) is currently zoned
residential in the County, and the south 30 acres (Tract II) is zoned Highway
Commercial in the County. The petitioner has requested that if the zoning
classification requested is denied, the voluntary annexation request be
withdrawn. The applicant has been informed that, with adoption of the new
zoning ordinance, the annexation request area may be rezoned to a combination of
zones, including CI -1, CH -1 and a residential zone. The intensive commercial
zone and the highway commercial zone incorporate many of the permitted uses
allowed in a C2 zone under the current ordinance.
The 1978 Comprehensive Plan indicates that this area should develop during Phase
IV at a residential use of 8-16 dwelling units per acre and as land consumptive
commercial. The entire area is contained within the limits of urban development
line. The Southwest Area Study updating the Plan, which was preliminarily
endorsed by the Commission and the City Council, suggests a number of changes in
the Plan for the area in question. Annexation of the entire area is recommended
with most of the property being zoned for a commercial use. The proposed
changes are based on. the rational that with the construction of the Highway
1/Freeway 518 interchange and the realignment of Mormon Trek Boulevard,
residential development in a large part of this area is not advisable. Lack of
capacity in area schools and proximity to the airport are further deterrents to
residential uses. The availability of sewer and the access afforded by Mormon
Trek and 518 create a favorable situation, however, for commercial development
A small area of residential use abutting the Ty'n Cae development is also

suggested, with a buffer of open space between the residential use and the
commercial use. This buffer is necessary to ensure that existing residential
development is not adversely affected by intensive commercial development. The
actual nature of the buffer may be discussed at such time as actual development
proposals are submitted.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
The staff recommends that the requested annexation and rezoning be approved
since it is consistent with the recommendations of the update of the
Comprehensive Plan. Recommendation for approval of the C2 zoning at this time
should carry with it the understanding that with adoption of the new zoning
ordinance the specific commercial zone designations will change and provision
may be made for a buffer between residential and commercial uses. Since the
update to the Plan has not been through the public hearing process or formally
approved, an amendment to the 1978 Comprehensive Plan will be necessary.

Re: West Side Company, Earl Yoder et al., Annexation
Dear Jim:
The preliminary plans with graded contours for development of the
West Side Company's property near Willow Creek have been reviewed.
The buffering which we discussed for the northwest corner does not
appear to be a problem if this area serves as a stormwater management
basin, taking advantage of the natural contours of the land. In
addition, the area of Ty'n Cae Part 3, which abuts this northwest
corner, provides stormwater management for Ty'n Cae and is,
therefore, open space. We definitely would like to see that corner
used for the basin for West Side's development.'
As far as the western boundary which abuts Ty'n Cae Part 3 is
concerned, most of the buildings sited on the Ty'n Cae development
are set back west from the 'property .line a sufficient distance to
obviate any conflicts. However, three lots north of Mormon Trek
relocated (the second through fourth lots) and west of the proposed
road abut lots in Ty'n Cae whose buildings are sited between 30 and
60 feet from the property line. Some screening may be necessary
along the west lot lines in the West Side development. There is
also, potentially, a 20 foot drop in elevation between the west side
and Ty'n Cae property along these lots. When grading the area,
special attention should be given to sloping the west side lots
toward the road so that runoff will pass down the road to a basin in
the northwest corner and not run down to the Ty'n Cae lots.
The final comment pertains to the zoning. C2 or a commercial
intensive zone for the major portion of the area sounds fine.'
However, since this property abuts residential land and Mormon Trek
relocated will be a convenient access to the residential area, CH
along Mormon Trek would be more desirable than a more intensive
commercial zone, and may finally be more saleable.• A restaurant,
grocery/drugstore, or gas station would all be acceptable uses in
keeping with the residential traffic which will be generated along
here. The more intensive commercial uses would then be on the

"interior" larger lots. It is quite possible that annexation at C2
for the entire area could take place; the distinction between highway
commercial and intensive commercial uses would occur when the entire
city was evaluated for rezoning under the new zoning ordinance.
The deferral of this item before Planning and Zoning is effective
until January, -1983. However, we would like to bring this before the
Commission again as soon as most of the issues are resolved.

Physical characteristics: The topography is relatively flat.
ANALYSIS
The applicant is requesting approval of the preliminary and final Large Scale
Non -Residential Development (LSNRD) plan for a 3.15 acre tract located south of
Highway I and north of the Iowa City Airport. The plan proposes two buildings
containing a total of 14,970 square feet of commercial floor area and 37
apartments, 30 of which are on the second floor. A total of 107 parking spaces
are required and 132 parking spaces are being provided, with 20 spaces located
in garages.
The applicant has chosen to design the parking area in accordance with the
proposed new design standards ordinance which is currently before City Council
for review. Specifically, standard vehicle spaces are dimensioned at 19 feet in
length, and 24 compact spaces (5% of the total) are being provided measuring 15
feet by 8 feet. In addition, 22 foot aisles are provided throughout the parking
area. While staff does not have any problems with the proposed design of the
parkinestablishing etheit will design stands standards parking for ncil areasobe ore theyrove he
the
resolution approving this LSNRD plan. Y pass the
Another concern for this development is that it comply with the requirements of
the Airport Overlay Zone, since the request area is located in the "Approach
Overlay" (OA) Zone." Specifically, the height of the two proposed buildings,
and any trees proposed should not penetrate the approach surface in the OA
Zone. The Engineering Division has verified that the proposed buildings are
within the height limitations; however, a mature height must be established for
the "large" trees proposed on the planting plan in order to determine that the
plan complies. Also, in accordance with Section 8.10.50.4.b of the Zoning
Ordinance, "All lighting or illumination used in conjunction with street,
parking, signs or use of land and structures shall be arranged and operated in
such a manner that it is not misleading or dangerous to aircraft operating from
the airport or in the vicinity thereof."
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the preliminary and final LSNRD plan be deferred. Upon
resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies described below, staff would
recommend approval.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES
A. Preliminary plan:
1. A breakdown of compact vehicle spaces by percentage of the total
parking provided should be shown.
B. Final plan:
I. A breakdown of compact vehicle spaces should be provided by
percentage of the total.
2. A note should be provided regarding compliance with the lighting
requirements contained in the Airport Overlay Zone.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 22, 1983
To: City Council and Neal Berlin
From: Frank Farmer, City Engineer
Re: Method Used to Calculate Assessments for Paving Projects
The Engineering Division of Iowa City uses a variation of the Flint
formula, devised in Flint, Michigan, for calculating assessments. This
method has been used for over 25 years in Iowa City and, over the years, it
has had judicial support. Until 1975, the statutory limit of 300 feet
from the street was established as a maximum distance for assessment
values. That limit was abated and there no longer is a statutory limit.
Iowa City has continued to use the 300 foot limit, even though the project
assessment boundary limits could be established beyond 300 feet.
The procedure for figuring pavement assessments is as follows: the area
of the property closest to the street receives the greatest weight and
lower amounts are assessed as the distance from the property to the street
improvement increases. This uses a distance of 300 feet or half -way to
the next street for its assessment limit. Increments of 50 foot zones are
used to decrease point value of the assessed property as the distance from
the property to the street improvement increases. In other words, the
closest 50 feet is designated as the 60 point zone, the next 50 feet as the
30 point zone, then the 10 point zone, then the 5, 3 and 1 point zones,
until a distance of 300 feet is included. The area of the property
contained in these zones is then multiplied by the point values assigned.
The points for each property are then totaled. After all the points for
each property are calculated, they are totaled to give the total points
for that street. Then the total points are divided into the total cost to
be assessed in order to determine the cost per point. This cost per point
is then multiplied by the number of points for each individual property to
determine its assessment. See example on the following page.

This letter concerns the proposed Kimball Road Special Sidewalk
Assessment Project --1983. I am writing to object to the city attempting
to bill me for the cost of replacing the existing sidewalk on my prop-
erty along Kimball Rd. This does not seem fair, considering that the
city has replaced and built new sidewalks in other parts of town in the
past, at no cost to the property owners. Furthermore, the present dam-
aged condition of sidewalks on my property is due mainly to the cityls
vehicles.
In the summer of 1979, the city was searching for a water leak in
the neighborhood and tore up Lloyce Tauber's (neighbor) property to find
it. Pipes were replaced, the leak persisted, and the water main across
the street (Kimball Rd.) was finally dug up and repaired. During all
this excavation the city Is heavy trucks continually "drove -on..arid. parked,
on,the sidewalks in question.
In the summer of 1981, the Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Company
was putting in a new gas main along Kimball Rd. Company employees were
careful to leave one lane of traffic,open. If their equipment tempor-
arily was used in the open lane, they were quick to move it out of the
lane when traffic wanted through. However, the city bus was frequently
impatient, refusing to wait even a few seconds, and used the sidewalk
for part of the roadway. Gas company employees noted that the bus would
drive on to the sidewalk at the Lloyce Tauber residence (624 Kimball Rd.)
and continue on the sidewalk until the intersection of Kimball Rd. and
Kimball Ave. This occurred several times and gas company employees be-
came concerned that they would be blamed for the sidewalk damage the buses
were causing. The city was contacted and informed of the problem. A
city representative came and viewed the damaged sidewalk, along with a
gas company inspector. The gas company replaced three sections of the
most badly damaged sidewalk near the corner even though the damage had
been caused by the buses and the gas company was under no obligation to
repair it. I talked to gas company employees (including the foreman in
charge that summer), on 22 March 1983, and they re -verified the incid-
ents. If you have questions about the damage caused by the buses please
contact the Iowa -Illinois Gas and Electric Company.
In closing, I will mention that I will be assessed $2435.00 for new
replacement sidewalk. I am 76 yrs. old, living on a fixed rocial security
income, and this assessment will cause me undue financial dii:_culty.
The sidewalk, although damaged, is not hazardous to pedestrian traffic.
If the city insists on replacing this sidewalk, I believe they should pay
the costs as city vehicles were instrumental in damaging it.
Thank you,

Re: Kimball Road sidewalk
Madam Mayor and Members of the Council:
The undersigned represents Alois F. Tauber and Helen
Tauber, the owners of property proposed to be assessed under
the Kimball Road Special Sidewalk Assessment Project - 1983.
My clients object to the assessment proposed against
their property on the following grounds:
1.. The proposed assessments are unreasonable,
arbitrary and capricious and work a disproportionate
cost in view of the value of the property;
2. The proposed assessments are not reasonably
related to the benefits which inure to the property;
3. The assessment against my clients discriminates
against them in that other sidewalk, similiarly deteriorated
has been repaired and replaced at city rather than property
owner expense;
4. No rational basis exists for installing sidewalk on
only one side of Kimball Road;
5. The proposed project is an improper and irregular
use of assessment procedures.
6. The assessment procedure utilized is not in accordance
with Iowa law.

Dear Mrs. Karr: CHY CLMK
71
This letter constitutes an objection to the Kimball RoadSpecial
Sidewalk Assessment Project --1983. My specific objections follow:
1) There is a minimal amount of pedestrian traffic along Kimball
Road. The major traffic is in mornings and afternoons, when some
students use this route to go to or from Shimek Elementary School.
The presently existing sidewalk in front of my house is wide enough
and in good enough repair to accommodate these students and to pose
no safety hazards for these students.
2) Some parts of the sidewalk between Kimball Avenue and Whiting
Avenue are in need of repair; other parts are not. The sidewalk in
front of my house does not seem to be in need of repair. Why, then,
must it be repaired? Does the City Council propose to rip out a
perfectly good sidewalk and replace it with another, which will
presumably be of no better quality and will benefit nobody?
3) If repairs must be made, why will the property owners not be
permitted to make their own repairs or engage their own contractors
to make the repairs to the city's specifications? People can repair
the cracks in their own sidewalks for a tiny fraction of the money
the city proposes to spend on such repairs.
4) The "Notice to Property Owners" which my neighbors and I
have received includes such evaluative words as "benefited" and
"improvements." I submit that to replace a sidewalk that is perfectly
functional with a new sidewalk that is not needed is not an improvement.
A new sidewalk will not benefit me orlmy neighbors to any noticeable
degree. The assessment for a new sidewalk will be an assessment with
no purpose.
5) If this new sidewalk were to be.oL benefit to anybody but the
people who will earn money to put it in, the benefit would surely
extend to the entire neighborhood, and not just to the property
owners on the east side of Kimball Road..--,.Thetefore, why not put 3
special assessment on the entire neighborhood? Why not tax the people
on the west side of Kimball Road;: who surely must -get about as much
use out of the sidewalk as the people on the east side?

r-�
6) The west side of Kimball Avenue does not now have a sidewalk.
If the City Council feels that it has an obligation to widen or to
provide sidewalks in remote suburban locations where there is no
pedestrian demand for sidewalks, surely it would be more of an
improvement and a benefit to the community to install a sidewalk on
the west side of Kimball Road than to replace the existic.g one on the
east side of the road.
7) Given the good shape of the present sidewalk in front of my j
house, I am amazed at the size of the assessment I am told I will have -
to pay. I had assumed that the assessment would be somewhere in the
neighborhood of a hundred dollars. Instead, I am told it will be i
$1291.58. I do not have this money. If I am subjected to an assessment
of this magnitude, I do not know where I will be able to get the money - -
to pay it. Most likely I will have to sell my house and move out of
the neighborhood. '
8) If we are to have special assessments, why not make them for ;
things that will be a definite benefit to the community? Give us a
special assessment for schools, or police, or for the library. I
would welcome a special assessment to improve the schools! But to
improve a sidewalk that is not in need of improvement? Why? Why?
9) I do not have the money. How do you expect to get such sums
out of people? And for what?

Yours truly, 1

RESOLUTION NO. 83-75
A RESOLUTION BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF IOWA CITY
IN SUPPORT OF PUBLIC MASS TRANSPORTATION FUNDING
WHEREAS, a little more than a month after the President signed into law a
major transportation infrastructure bill, the administration has proposed
a permanent deferral of $229 million in capital expenditures for public
transit in FY83 and a budget proposal that would slash almost $1 billion
in FY84 from the federal commitment to public mass transit including more
than a two-thirds cut in operating assistance and its total elimination
the following year, and
i
WHEREAS, the impact of this permanent deferral and budget proposal on Iowa
City Transit would be a reduction of $104,000 in FY84 for the total
allocation and a loss of $109,200 in operating assistance, and
WHEREAS, it is essential that the funds authorized by Congress be made
available to meet the needs of all those who use and rely on public
transit service in Iowa City.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF IOWA
CITY, IOWA:
1. That Congress reject the permanent deferral of $229 million in FY83
by supporting the motion to deny the deferral; and
1
2. That Congress restore to the FY84 budget the almost $1 billion in
transit funding authorized earlier this year to meet the operating
and capital needs of the public transit element of our nation's
transportation infrastructure.

MEMORANDUM
Date: March ll, 1983
To: City Council
From: A
Jim Hencin, CDBG Program Coordinator
Re: Proposed Amendment to Housing Rehabilitation Program
•In recent months, both the Housing Commission and Committee on
Community Needs have discussed the need to increase a loan amount
when emergencies arise after the completion of work under the City's
CDBG funded housing rehabilitation program. Additional language
(contained in the attached resolution) has been prepared to address
this concern. These provisions for emergency repairs would apply
only to the Forgivable Loan Program which is restricted to low income
elderly or handicapped homeowners. As with all other housing
rehabilitation loans, an increased loan amount would be subject to
the approval of the Housing Commission, upon recommendation of the
staff.
This amendment has been reviewed by the Housing Commission and
recommended• for inclusion in the Housing Rehabilitation Program
manual.

Re: IRB Application From Iowa Book and Supply
Staff review of the application and the financial analysis revealed
no major problems with the request to issue bonds for this project.
The application stated the reason for requesting Industrial Revenue
Bonds as "The 30% savings by using IRB's will allow me to make the
move the Old Capitol Center and still provide a high quality
bookstore facility for the Iowa City area... will permit the
applicant to construct a more spacious and aesthetically pleasing
store."
Staff review did prompt a request for additional information about
the project. I have attached a copy of my letter which requested
that additional information and a copy of the written response as it
does provide substantial detail on the project. The Written response
to question #4, C, mentions the likelihood of the installation of an
escalator in Old Capitol Center near the Washington Street entrance
to the Center. We agree that an escalator would be an enhancement to
the Center and encourage Council to pursue this with Mr. Peter
Vanderhoef of Iowa Book and Supply as a condition for the issuance of
the bonds.
The project will not be reviewed by the Design Review Committee as it
does not include the renovation of the outside of building.

Attorney Robert N. Downer

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Bob:
Staff has begun review on the Industrial Revenue Bond application
submitted by Iowa Book & Supply and needs additional information on
the following items in order to continue with that review.
1. Will the decrease in square footage at the new location, as
compared with the square footage at the current location, cause
a reduction in any product lines for the store? The financial
statements and financial projections show a decrease in both
sales and cost of goods sold for FY84 as compared to FY82;
please explain why that decrease will occur.
2. In line with the above item, if there is a decrease in product
i lines, will it cause any reduction in the level of staffing?
The application states ."no substantial change"; however, we
need to know what kind of change is expected.
3. Is the lease with the old Capitol Center finalized yet? How
definite is the decision to relocate; for example, if Dey
Building Corporation offered a lower lease rate, would the
relocation be reconsidered?
4. On pages 2 and 3, the Industrial Revenue Bond Policy lists the
criteria upon which the City will grant approval for the
issuance of Industrial Revenue Bonds. Briefly stated, they
are:
a. Preservation of existing or creation of new employment.
b. The extent to which the tax base will be increased.
C. Enhancement and strengthening of the downtown.
d. Upgrading or improvement of deteriorating structures.
e. Preservation and restoration of buildings with historical
and/or architectural significance.

Re: City of Iowa City, Iowa
Industrial Development Revenue Bonds, Series 1983
(Iowa Book & Supply Company Project)
i
Dear Rosemary: j
Thank you for your letter of March 18, 1983. This
response to that letter has been compiled jointly by Pete Vanderhoef
and myself. As you know, I will be out of town all of next week.
However, if you have any questions with respect to this matter
during my absence please feel free to contact Pete directly. Also,
Ben and Dick Summerwill and John Koza at the Iowa State Bank are
all very knowledgeable with respect to this application, and.you'
may feel free to contact any of them if you need information which
they might be able to furnish to you.
Our specific responses to the items raised in your letter
of March 18 are as follows:
1. The decrease in square footage at the Proposed new
location will not cause a reduction in the product line for the
store. Because of the considerably more efficient layout of the
space, which is all on one level, may potentially cause an expansion
of the product lines available through the store. One reason for
the greater efficiency of the proposed new location is that the
existing facility occupied by Iowa Book & Supply Company was expanded
nine different times between 1950 and 1970. Although significant
remodeling occurred throughout this period in an attempt to integrate
all of this space into one operation, some portions have been added

f
since the most recent and significant major remodeling, and therefore
the layout is perhaps not as efficient as might be the case had all
of this space been acquired and improved simultaneously. This
problem will not occur in connection with the space in Old Capitol
Center.
Mr. Vanderhoef has attempted to be conservative in his
financial projection, taking neither a "best case" nor "worst case"
approach. As we are all aware, the University of Iowa predicts
further enrollment increases for the immediate future but a decline
within a few years, primarily because of the shrinking number of
high school graduates. It is also Mr. Vanderhoef's feeling, as well
as that of many other knowledgeable persons, that an economic
recovery will cause more prospective university students to enter
the job market rather than to enter or remain in college. All of
these factors have been taken into account in the making of these
projections.
2. As was indicated above, no decrease in product line
will occur. Further, it is contemplated that, in line with other
stores in Old Capitol Center, this store would stay open a greater
number of hours, thereby resulting in some increases in hours worked
by present personnel or, perhaps, an increase in staffing level.
There is certainly no decrease anticipated, but we are not in a
position at this time to commit that the number of employees will be
decreased.
3. The Lease in Old Capitol Center is not finalized yet,
although the area proposed to be occupied is covered by a "right of
first refusal" to Iowa Book & Supply Company through April 30, 1983.
Based upon conversation with management of Old Capitol Center, it is
our belief that this time period could be extended if necessary. As
I indicated to you on the telephone, it is our anticipation at this
time that the business will relocate. However, because the Lease has
not been finalized, and because we are not aware of any Lease Agreement
made by the Dey Building Corporation with any other party, it is
possible that a new lease between Iowa Book & Supply Company and the
Dey Building Corporation could be negotiated.
4. It is our position that the request by Iowa Book &
Supply Company meet several of the criteria set forth in the
City's Industrial Revenue Bond Policy, including the following:
(a) As you know, Iowa Book & Supply Company depends upon
its close proximity to the University of Iowa as well as upon a
substantial amount of retail space in which to conduct its business
activities. To our knowledge,'there are no other locations within

a number of blocks of the campus which could accomodate Iowa Book
& Supply except for the facilities presently occupied and those
being offered in Old Capitol Center. As you have no doubt seen
from the financial statements, this business operates on a high
volume, low margin basis. In the event that a satisfactory
rental could not be negotiated, the prudent course of action would
appear to be to liquidate the business rather than to pay rent
at levels which would vertually assure substantial financial losses.
The approval of the Industrial Revenue Bond request will result
in the preservation of existing employment of a substantial number
of persons. Hopefully, some new jobs will also be created.
(b) Because of the substantial improvements which
would be placed in the proposed business location in Old Capitol
Center, it would be my assumption that the valuation of the Center
would be increased accordingly, thereby increasing the tax base.
Many of the improvements which Iowa Book & Supply Company has placed
in its present location over the years would remain, and it would
not appear to me that the valuation of that location should decrease.
Therefore, it would appear that the tax base of the central business
district should increase to the approximate extent of the improvements
proposed to be placed in Old Capitol Center.
(c) The space which will be occupied by Iowa Book &
Supply Company in Old Capitol Center represents a large block of
presently "dead" space in the Center. The presence of such a
strong retail business on the second level of the Center will no
doubt stimulate retail activity of those businesses located in
proximity to it. Further, it would appear that the occupancy of
this area would enhance the overall attractiveness of Old Capitol
Center. There would appear to be a strong likelihood that, if
Iowa Book & Supply Company relocates to Old Capitol Center, an
escalator to the second floor would be installed near the Washington
Street entrance to the Center. This would, in our opinion be a
substantial enhancement and strengthening of the Center and, as a j
result, the entire downtown area.
(d) While Old Capitol Center could not be considered a
"deteriorating structure", the area proposed to be occupied by
Iowa Book & Supply Company could not at this time be considered
attractive or an enhancement to the Center. This unattractive area
of the Center would therefore be removed.

discussed Mr. Vanderhoef's status as a member of the Board of

and in our telephone conversation. Should you desire any further
information at any time during the course of the review of this
application, please do not hesitate to contact the persons named

MEMORANDUM
Date: March 24, 1983
To: City Council and City Manager
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance
Joe Fowler, Parking Superintendents
Re: Revisions to Late-night Parking Rates in the Ramps
In order to maximize revenue in the parking ramps and to institute one
alternative for dealing with the vandalism in the ramps, we are recommending
that the rate structure be changed such that the 25 cents per hour rate is
charged until 3:00 a.m. We currently charge the hourly rate until 10:00 p.m.
After 10:00 p.m. we charge a flat fee of 50 cents to exit.
We currently have our night maintenance workers working at or near the exit
gates after 10:00 p.m. to deter people from driving through the gates without
paying. Having cashiers working until 3:00 a.m. would free up the maintenance
workers to tend to ramp maintenance. As a by-product, this would put those
maintenance workers in other areas of the ramps and should act to deter some
vandalism that occurs at those late hours. Further recommendations for dealing
with the vandalism problems will be finalized and submitted to you in one week
for your review.
On weeknights, approximately 170 vehicles exit after 10:00 p.m. at the rate of
50 cents per vehicle. On weekends, approximately 550 vehicles exit after 10:00
p.m. The average stay per vehicle (between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.) is
currently two and one-half hours. However, we suspect that the average stay for
those vehicles exiting after 10:00 p.m. is much longer and that it is possible
that we could almost double our revenue from 10:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m. by having
cashiers on duty until 3:00 a.m.
Several downtown merchants have recommended that we charge the hourly rate later
than 10:00 p.m. as a way to increase revenues. We also continuously observe
that a large number of parkers exit the ramp right after 10:00 p.m. This
probably occurs because they have parked in the ramp longer than two hours and
they can save money by waiting until the rate drops at 10:00 p.m. to only 50
cents. Having cashiers on duty would also speed up the exiting of the theater
patrons after 10:00 p.m. in that they would not have to find the correct change
in order to exit.
To extend the cashiers' hours would require adding four part-time cashier
positions at an approximate cost of $420 per week. This compares with our
weekly revenue after 10:00 p.m. of $1,800. Therefore, the increased revenue
which would be raised as a result of extending the cashiers' hours and the 25
cent hourly rate, should more than sufficiently pay for the additional personnel
costs.

To: Neal Berlin, City Manager
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Director of Finance
Joe Fowler, Parking Superintendentvl
Re: Recommended Revisions to CBD Parking
For sometime we have been reviewing the City's policy on (1) monthly permits in
the two downtown ramps, (2) the hourly rates and usage in the Chauncey Swan lot
and (3) future use of old municipal lot. This memo addresses each item and
provides our current recommendations.
PERMIT PARKING IN PARKING RAMPS
Since Christmas, the occupancy in both ramps has been monitored. Peak usage
typieach c that timerio
alloccurs beween 11:00 hramp has between 150 to 200avacant dparking paces. dTherefore, theeCapitol
Street ramp has a minimum of .20 percent of its spaces empty at all times, while
the Dubuque Street ramp has a minimum of.40 percent of its spaces empty.
There are currently 74 monthly permits in the Capitol Street ramp and 73 in the
Dubuque Street ramp. For the last nine months, we have limited permit sales to
renewals only; this has allowed for the gradual reduction of permits from the
original 100 issued per ramp. It is obvious from the continuing requests for
permits, that many more permits could be sold in each ramp, but we have limited
permit parking in order to avoid further limiting the parking available for
shoppers or the short-term parker in the Central Business District.
The financial feasibility study done prior to the construction of the ramps
projected that each ramp would be operating at a 70 percent average occupancy,
during the daytime, in FY82. Actual average occupancy between 8:00 AM and 6:00
PM for FY82 ranged from 36% to 53% in the Capitol Street ramp and from 31% to 50%
in the Dubuque Street ramp. Occupancy during the peak usage hours (11:00 AM to
2:00 PM) is approximately 78% in the Capitol Street Ramp and 55% in the Dubuque
Street Ramp.
The parking problems which have occurred in the ramps during the past year have
not resulted because of shortages in parking spaces, but rather because of
congestion in the ramps due to the poor traffic circulation patterns. In fact,
even though the ramps were extremely busy between Thanksgiving and Christmas,
the ramps were never 100 percent full.
Therefore, there is no justification to remove permit parking from the ramps at
this time. For, not only is there more than sufficient parking in the ramps on
all but the few extremely busy days of the year, there is also limited long-term
Parking available within the Central Business District.
In order to better utilize the existing ramp space and continue to maximize
revenues, we recommend selling 51 more permits in the Capitol Street ramp and 52

more in the Dubuque Street ramp. This will increase the number of permits to 125
per ramp. Adding these permits will increase average occupancy by 5% in the
Capitol Street ramp and by 10% in the Dubuque Street ramp.
Even with these additional permits, it would still have been rare to reach 100%
occupancy during the past Christmas shopping season. It is not reasonable to
leave so many spaces vacant 11 months of the year just to provide parking for the
one month of heavy Christmas shopping. As has always been our intent, the
permits in the ramps will be eliminated or reduced in number should the short-
term parking demand in the future require more spaces in the ramps.
The hotel opening will most certainly require the reduction of permits in the
Dubuque Street ramp. But, those parking spaces should not sit empty until that
opening date. As such, the permit holders will continue to be informed of the
City's right to eliminate permits in the future. Because of the shortage of
long-term parking in the CBD, any future elimination of ramp permits, in either
ramp, will be very unpopular with the permit holders and the Council should
expect very negative reactions.
Effective April 1, 1983, we will require that all permit holders park on the
upper two levels in the ramps. This will free up the choice parking spaces on
the lower levels for the short-term parkers or shoppers, a long-time request
from the downtown merchants. In addition, traffic on those upper levels will
deter the vandalism that is now present because those levels are rarely used.
In order to enforce, monitor and effectively limit the permit parkers to the
upper two levels, it will be necessary to eliminate the one month permits.
Effective April 1, 1983, only three month permits will be sold for the ramps.
Three month permit holders are now issued a sticker which is affixed to lower
left of the windshield. As in the permit lots, the sticker color is changed on
each renewal date. This allows the Parking staff to patrol permit lots and
recognize current permits using color identification instead of walking up to
each car and reading the effective date on the sticker.
The one month permits are now issued a cardboard visor card as there are not
enough colors available to issue a different colored sticker each month. In
order to efficiently patrol the ramps and be assured that permit parkers are
parking only on the upper levels, it will be necessary to issue the color
stickers which are permanently affixed to the car window. To provide a
different colored sticker each month would require four colors per ramp or eight
colors total for the ramp plus three additional colors for the permit lots.
That is far too many colors to have to rotate every three months.
Permits in the lots are sold on only a three month basis in the C.B.D. lots (at a
cost of $60) and on only a six month basis in the outlying lots (at a cost of
$72). Therefore, selling only three month permits at the ramps will make those
permits more equitable to lot permits.

CHAUNCEY SWAN PARKING
Up through the last week in February, parking in the Chancey Swan lot remained
at approximately a 50 percent occupancy; this is the average occupancy level
since the meter rates were increased to 20 cents an hour last summer. For the
last two weeks, occupancy has increased to approximately 63 percent and remains
at approximately the same level all day long. This shows that long-term parkers
are using the meters in this lot. However, 70 percent of the parkers in that lot
are permit holders. In addition, the 15 two-hour meters have a very low
occupancy (usually less than 25 percent).
Fifty-five monthly permits have been sold in this lot and there are nine people
on the waiting list for permits. Because of the shortage of long-term parking
in and near the CBD, we recommend that 40 additional monthly permits be sold for
this lot. First choice would be given to those people on the Chauncey Swan
waiting list and then to the 42 people on the Civic Center lot waiting list prior
to offering the permits to the general public.
In the past we have discussed the possibility of moving the permits from the
parking ramps to this lot. However, because of the occupancy levels of the
parking ramps, there is no justification for taking the permits out of the ramps
at this time. In addition, the additional permit parking in the Chauncey Swan
lot will help in meeting the need in the CBD for long-term parking.
Since the 15 short-term meters in the west part of the lot have such a low
occupancy level, we recommend that eight of those meters remain two-hour meters
and that the other seven meters be changed to five-hour meters. This would
allow for some longer-term metered parking for those parkers going to the Civic
Center or other nearby businesses. The meters in the rest of the lot are ten
hour meters.
j When the parking meters were increased to 20 cents an hour, the fee for the
monthly permit was also increased to $20 per month. This made the fees charged
in that lot consistent with the fees charged in the CBD area, that area which is
west of Gilbert Street.
The Chauncey Swan lot is more easily accessible to the CBD than the Recreation
Center lot and the Civic Center lot which justifies a higher monthly permit rate
in the Chauncey Swan lot. However, the permit holders in the lot are asked to
make concessions for the Farmer's Market, which is held in that lot from June
through October.
The Market grew substantially last year and at the end of the season utilized
the area under the bridge and the majority of the east bay of parking spaces.
Because of the Market, we have in past years found it necessary to ask permit
holders to refrain from parking under the bridge after 5:15 p.m. on Wednesday
evenings or before noon on Saturdays. It now appears that we will need to apply
the same restrictions to the east bay of the lot.
Therefore, there is justification to lower the monthly permit rate somewhat. We
recommend that the permits be sold in the lot (55 current permits plus 40

additional permits), at a monthly rate of $16. Permit holders will be
restricted from parking under the bridge or in the east bay of the lot after 5:15
p.m. on Wednesdays or before noon on Saturday mornings.
The meters should be left at 204 per hour due to their accessibility to the CBD.
Lowering the cost of the permits to $16 provides all -day parking at a cost
equivalent to 104 per hour. Selling 95 permits for this lot will still leave 45
spaces for meter parking.
FUTURE USE OF OLD MUNICIPAL LOT
We have received several inquiries from downtown merchants, the public and Mercy
Hospital regarding the possible reopening of the old municipal lot (the old
Penny's lot) for parking by the public or permit parking. We did open it last
Christmas to provide for as much parking as possible in the CBD. However, it
does not make sense to open it now to the public for parking as long as there is
sufficient parking in the ramps; operating it as an attendant lot requires the
hiring of three additional cashiers to staff it from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.,
six days a week.
Since construction of the hotel is scheduled to begin in the near future and
since we do not yet know how much of the lot will be required to accommodate that
construction, the future availability of the lot for parking uses is in limbo at
this time. And, the additional permits recommended to be sold in the ramps and
in the Chauncey Swwan lot will meet much of the demand for the long-term parking
in the CBD.
