Councilman Vevera noted_Rov Justis' editorial on KXIC re-
garding Council's actions
on Urban Renewal. A motion made by
Selzer and seconded by Balmer to accept
t e revised Urban
Renewal Plan and have staff obtain re -appraisals on property
north of Burlington as one parcel and property south of Burling-
ton as individual
parcels was withdrawn. Selzer moved and
Balmer seconded as per Paul Glaves' recommendation, to refer
the revised Urban Renewal Plan to the Planning and Zoni ng Com-
'
eir r
mission for thecommen a ion. Max Yocum 800 S. Dubuque,
expressed his feelings against selling all the land north of
Burlington to
one developer. Francis Hamit agreed with Selzer's
reasoning that supply and demand
r
would control rent. Rgbert
Welsh, 2526 Mayfield Road, stated he felt the
revised Urban
Renewal plan should be referred to P&Z with the deletion of
street closures. Several Councilmembers brought out that there
was a need of establishing street closures so the developers
could formulate their
plans around them. The previous motion
— had the following roll call vote: Ayes: Neuhauser, Selzer,
Vevera, Balmer, deProsse, Foster. Motion carried, 6/0, with
Perret absent.
,
Concerning marketing, Mr. Berlin was totally opposed to
Robert Welsh's suggestion to take steps to have City staff
determine whether or not J. C. Penney, or other major businesses
located in the Urban Renewal area, had plans for expansion.
Paul Glaves, Urban Redevelopment Specialist, explained that
the marketing strategy was not included in the plan recommended
to P&Z. After further discussion, Selzer moved and Balmer
seconded to utilize the single developer concept for property
north of Burlington and utilize the multi -developer concept,
individually or collectively at the bidder's option, for property
south of Burlington.
After this motion was opened for discussion, Mr. Welsh stated `
that he favored the multi -developer concept for marketing land.
Francis Hamit offered his services as a developer to attract
businesses for a department store. The City Manager advised
that Hamit had conflict of interest because he has financial
interest in the downtown area.
The previous motion concerning the marketing process had
the following roll call vote: Ayes: Neuhauser, Balmer, Selzer.
Nays: Vevera, deProsse, Foster. Motion failed, 3/3, with

This is in response to the interest expressed by Midstates
Development Incto contract with the City for management
of the 64 units of housing for the elderly in said apartment
building. Mr. Jacobsen, from Midstates; Glen Fountain, from
the Housing Commission; and Lyle Seydel, the Housing Coor-
dinator, were in attendance to answer questions in the dis-
cussion that followed. Seydel stated it would be to the
benefit of the City to manage this apartment complex because
of the expertise and experience gained. The approximate $800
received from the 5% gross rent receipts would offset overtime
wages paid and/or any other expenses incurred. If ever ex-
penses should exceed this amount, money could be obtained
from a clause in the contract. Therefore, it should never
cost the City money.

Report from City Clerk that the establishment "That Deli"
at 620 South Dubuque has provided the necessary infor-
mation and they do meet the 508 gross sales requirement.
No action by the Council is needed. Iowa City's policy
for adding Sunday Beer sales permits for new establish-
ments is to request, after a 90 -day period, a state-
ment which supports their application statement that
the sale of goods and services other than beer or alco-
holic liquor does constitute 508 or more of the gross
receipts from the licensed premises.
The motion was approved by the following roll call vote: Ayes:

Addition (specifically Lakeview Knoll, 3rd Addition). Mr. Hayek
stated the Council or. Planning s Zoning Commission not only had
the authority, but also had the responsibility to review sub-
division plats within two miles outside the City limits as per
Section 409.14 of the Code of Iowa. He further stated the City
of Iowa City would have a particular interest in this area as
to how the subdivisions are developed and what kind of streets
and facilities are provided, since the Coralville Annexation
Agreement allocated this land to Iowa City for future annexation.
A motion was made by Vevera and seconded by Foster to direct the
City Manager to reply to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors
indicating that the Citv does have and insists it has the right
to review the subdivision plat for the development of Lakeview
Knoll, 3rd Addition. Motion passed, unanimously. (4) Mr. Hayek
reported to Council the City had received partial judgment today
for the motions filed for summary judgment in the Amerex case.
This will relieve the City from paying $916,930 for claimed dam-
ages on rezoning but would not alleviate them from the $93,000
judgment for the alleged delay in implementing the Court order
following declaratory judgment action.
Mr. Berlin clarified the June 3, 1976, Planning and Zoning
Commission minutes and indicated Planning and Zoning decided
not to pursue the matter of initiating a moratorium on the
northern sector of R3 Study Area, after it was determined the
City would have to hire an attorney outside of Iowa City to
obtain a legal opinion.
Several disturbed residents on Kirkwood Avenue had called
Mayor Neuhauser stating they were told the reason the telephone
company was laying the cable so far from the street was that
the City had immediate plans to widen the street. No one knew
where the telephone company obtained this information; however,
it was probably done in anticipation that the street might be
widened some time in the future. The Staff was directed to make
sure Northwestern Bell understood the situation.
The public hearing was held on the FY 77 Slabjacking Program.
Vevera mentioned the need for repair of Friendship Street. After
further discussion, the public hearing was declared closed.
Balmer motioned and Vevera seconded to adopt Resolution No.

Council considered a resolution authorizing the removal
of parking from the East and West side of Dubuque from the
intersection of College and Dubuque to a point 150 feet North,
and removal of parking from the North and South sides of College
Street, from the intersection of College and Dubuque to a point
150 feet West, and removal of parking meter stalls in this area.
There was discussion of closure of streets on July 1, vacated
by Ordinance to conform with the contract with the Urban Renewal
Plan. Several Councilmembers felt the use of the downtown
streets should be reviewed in more detail before reaching a
decision as to what streets should be closed.
Robert Welsh appeared and suggested several alternatives
relating to safety factors in closing some of the downtown
streets, one point he revealed was that policy would have to
be established concerning emergency vehicles, taxicabs, and
vehicles making deliveries on the closed streets. Balmer sug-
gested that City staff study traffic flow and patterns, analyze
the impact of street closures, and prepare a recommendation to
Council. A motion was made by Perret and seconded by deProsse
to defer action on the resolution for closure of certain streets.
Motion passed unanimously.

1. The meeting was brought to order by Chairperson Conley. It was moved
by Dennis and seconded by Janiuk to approve the minutes of June 2, 1976.
Motion carried.
2. Committee Concerns - It was moved by Janiuk and seconded by Dennis to
amend the agenda to discuss committee concerns as Item I. Motion
carried. Points brought out and discussed are as follows:
a. Some members feel that Committee conversations are too much
dominated by a few people and that the Chairperson should try to
bring out everyone's opinion and prevent domination of the
conversation.
The Chairperson indicated that he will try to leave more dead
space on the floor to give any member who wants a chance to
speak up.
b. It was suggested that a possible problem with members not speaking
up is that they don't feel they are familiar enough with what is
being discussed. Dennis suggested that members make more use of
Julie's office as an information center to gain insight on current
issues.
c. Sub -committees should submit a FY 1977 calendar of projected
activities. Conley and Rolnick will work with Julie on this.
d. Sub -committees should come to CCN meeting to report on goals and
why they are doing what they are doing. Copies of sub -committee
reports and information should be at hand so that members can
up -date themselves on the various functions.
Handwritten sub -committee reports and information, that need to be
typed and copied, can be done at the City through Julie's office.

C. It was brought out that it is everyone's job on CCN to gather and
dispense information for the general public. It was emphasized
that representation of public opinion should not be over -shadowed
with too much personal bias.
One method of dispensing information could be a constant series
of articles to the mass news media. It was suggested that
sub -committees be responsible for these written reports.
Hauer emphasized the importance of oral communication and noted
the finding of applicants to fill CCN vacancies as an example of
where more talking would help.
3. Arch. Barrier Report has been typed and is ready for printing. Copies
will be mailed to members prior to July 13th Council meeting.
4. Amended HCUA Budget - Council had approved and accepted the amended
budgets as shown in handout. Discussions included the following topics:
a. Urban Renewal Land Acquisition - .Julie stated that monies equal
to the proposed 20% cut by HUD will be used to purchase Urban
Renewal land from Council. By Federal law all profit from resale
of land will automatically be put back into HCDA projects.
b. Comprehensive Plan - How and when funds would be used for day care
center planning, zoning evaluation, sludge treatment studies, and
the Ralston Creek Study were questioned by Bolnick. Julie stated
that money is available for these studies but the City is not
currently staffed for additional studies and no plans for the first
three are underway, as yet. Further Council action and interest
is necessary before the projects will be acted on. Additional
staff is needed. Hibbs suggested that by using resources available
within the community, to get these studies done (such as graduate
students, consultants, etc.) a high level of expertise might be
obtained in a shorter period of time.
5. Communications Subcommittee Report - Discussion of potential newsletter
to transmit i oto pu ic.
a. Discussion of sub -committee member being designated to summarize
activities for press releases.
6. Human Resources Sub -Committee - Duties were redefined and the sub-
committee will be response e for day care needs and human needs studies.
7. Comb. Plan Sub -Committee will initiate work on commercial recycling,
zoning evaluation and sludge treatment and generally monitor comprehensive
planning activities.

it would remain a single-family residence; therefore, he was probably against
approving the preliminary plat. Blum stated he was not convinced that
the majority of the residents were opposed, and those that were could
remedy the situation through Courts by breach of contract. He felt
the major issue was that it might not be the best utilization of land
due to staff objections. Cain concurred with Blum and further expressed
her strong desire for preservation of the existing buildings. Vetter
commented she had seen some rather innovative things done with barns in
the New England region. As for privacy, she noted Iowa City was a hilly
area, and no one could be guaranteed it. Jakobsen was against the develop-
ment because of incompatability of the -PAD design. A motion was made
by Cain, seconded by Blum, to recommend to the City Council approval of
5-7614, revised preliminary plat and PAD of Village Green, Part 6. Diotion
carried, 4/2, with Jakcbsen and Kammermeyer voting against.
There was some discussion as to whether or not Chapter 414.5 of the Code of
Iowa would apply to this particular development. A motion was made by
Cain, seconded by Vetter, to request the assistance of the Legal Department
in determining whether or not the PAD would require extraordinary -majority
vote of Council. Motion -carried unanimously.
5-7610. Fountain Subdivision - Riverdale Addition. Preliminary plat of
aTib+ acre subdivision located between Old Sand Road and the Iowa River,
south of the Iowa City corporate limits. Application submitted by
Jean Fountain; Frail Trott, Attorney. Date filed: 4/28/76; 45 -day limitation:
waived. Referred to Park and Recreation Commission and to Riverfront Commis-
sion.
A motion was made by Blum, seconded by Jakobsen, to defer the approval of
5-7610, preliminary plat of the Fountain Subdivision - Riverdale Addition
until the requirements requested by Staff are met. Commissioners discussed
the impact of the 100 year flood plain on this area. It was stated that
Keith Nath, of the Iowa Natural Resources Council, indicated the flood
heighth for this area had been estimated to be 641 feet above sea level.
Several Commissioners felt this estimate was wrong and that measures
should be taken to require the I.N.R.C. to make an accurate study of the
situation. Vetter mentioned that because of bad flooding and earthquakes
in other states, it might be wise to use this area for recreational purposes
rather than place buildings on it. Kam ermeyer questioned the suitability
of the land for septic tanks. Don Schmeiser, Senior Planner, indicated
he had spoken with County officials regarding this matter and was told the
purcolation of the soil was adequate, but a statement concerning health
factors had not been obtained as of yet. The motion was voted upon and
carried unanimously to defer this matter.

S-7616. Preliminary plat of Woodland Hills Addition located approximately
two miles north of Interstate 80 and east of Highway 1 in Section 30 of
Newport Township in Johnson County; date filed: 6/18/76; 45 -day limitation:
8/2/76.
A motion was made by Cain, seconded by Jakobsen, to defer S-7616, approval
of preliminary plat of Woodland Hills Addition until existing requirements
are met and until street right-of-way may be obtained from purchaser; and
furthermore, to request assistance from the Legal Department concerning
use of restraints on the auditor's plat. Motion carried unanimously.
Consideration of the vacation of all or part of Person Avenue north of
Park Road; requested by Mr. Richard Tucker, attorney for the estate of
Ms. Mary Hands.
Attorney Bill Bartley appeared on behalf of Dr, and Mrs. Lewis Jacques
who owns property along Park Road. He expressed their concern that if
the Ferson right-of-way were to be vacated and disposed, the Zoning Code
would prohibit them from obtaining a building permit for their property
(Lot #10) since it would not front a public street or an "officially
approved place." He further stated if Gould Street was also to be vacated,
there would be no practical access to Lot #10; and the City might be sub-
jected to a damage suit. In light of the fact the 1941 vacation agreement
appeared to be invalid, he urged Commissioners to support retention of the
public title of the center 20 feet and to protect easements within the
vacated portion of the right-of-way of Ferson Avenue. He further encouraged
them to identify Ferson Avenue as an "officially approved place."
Richard Tucker, attorney for the estate of his. Mary Hands, appeared and
expounded on his letter dated January 28, 1976, regarding the request for
the vacation of Ferson Avenue. He stated he essentially concurred with
Attorney Bill Bartley and that he would like to have the original 1941
vacation agreement enacted since property owners of the area had been
paying taxes on the 20 feet of the property they believed they owned.
Don Schmeiser, Senior Planner, informed that if Ferson was to remain a
street, it should be constructed as a street with a 50 foot right-of-way.
This would give the City title to land on which Ms. Mary Hands' garage
was built. Residents of the property would be assessed for the construction
of the street and for street maintenance and snow removal.
Richard Pegnetters, Dr, and Mrs. Lewis Jacques, and Steffi Hite had no
reservations on continuing their maintenance of the street. Bob Bowlin,
Assistant City Attorney, appeared and suggested ways to alleviate the
problem of vacation.

A motion was made by Xammermeyer, seconded by Cain, to recamw4 to
Council to vacate all of Ferson Avenue north of Park Road and south of
Gould, subject to the retention of a public easement, that the center
20 feet be declared a public street or an officially approved place, and
tt this agreement be contingent on an agreement between Property cw s
relinquishing their right to street maintenance and snow removal.

Pu This motion failed, 1/5, Blum voting 11yes.1'
The previous amended motion was passed with a 5/1 vote. Blum voted against
the motion because of his desire to have matter further publicized by a
sign.
Attorney Bill Bartley warned Commissioners against approving vacations or
closing of the CBD streets. He stated this area had been given to establish
the Capitol Building. Although lots were auctioned off in 1838, streets
remained in possession of the State, so he stated.
Commissioners expressed desire to pursue the matter of using signs to
indicate possible subdivisions, LSRD, vacations and other land use changes.
Blum will submit a proposal at the next meeting.
It was announced the subcommittee designated to prepare recommendations on
the revision of the ordinance for Ml and M2 zones would meet July 6th,
1976, at 4:15 p.m.
Don Schmeiser, Senior Planner, indicated a letter had been sent to Sam Fahr,
Chairman of the Riverfront Commission, regarding the IV' zone. This matter
will be an agenda item for the next meeting. There was some discussion
on the procedure of approaching the Iowa City School Board about the over-
crowding problem in some of the schools.
A motion was made by Jakobsen, seconded by Kammermeyer, to adjourn the meeting
at 9:40 p.m. Motion passed unanimously.

It. Comnittee Reports
I. Outreach Advocacy - Davidson reported on the efforts that had been made
by Smith and herself in securing food for the Indian encampment. Smith
reported that the encampment had moved to the Linn County area because
of the cost of transportation from the Sand Point campsites to the
Court (louse in Cedar Rapids and because the campsites soil was very sandy
and did not hold the tent stakes securely. The local support committee
is still functioning to assist in providing food and other needs for the
Indian encampment.
Madison reported that Don Sanders of. Northwestern Bell would be providing
sensitivity training on racial discrimination during the first and third
weeks of July. Madison, Woodard and Ragland plan to attend one of these
sessions.
2. Affirmative Action - Woodard reported that a second draft of the Affirmative
Action Program is being written. This draft would be circulated to
division and department heads for input before the final draft would be
brought to the Commission in August.
3. Ordinance Revision - Bowlin reported that legal intern Steve Segebarth
has been assigned to the drafting of the revised ordinance. The completion
date for this draft was set for the July meeting. The commission also
discussed methods of informing the public on the content of the newly
drafted ordinance. The suggestions given were to mail the draft to advocacy
groups and also to organizations whose members represent potential
respondants during the complaint process. A newspaper series on the
revised ordinance and a public meeting were also suggested as ways of
disseminating information about the ordinance.
4. Twenty informal complaints were received between May 17 and June 18. The
investigation of two cases (1i-7515 and H-7604) were completed. One complaint
of sex discrimination in employment was formalized.
Further staff activities were also presented in a written report.
C. Other Business
The Commission reviewed the May 11, 1976, minutes of the regular meeting of
the Iowa City School Board. The minutes contained the appointment of principals
of the twenty schools in the district. Of those twenty principals only one is
female. The commission directed Smith to write a letter of concern about
the position of women in the administrative level in the school district, and
Price and Woodard were requested to check on the progress of the Affirmative
Action Committee and report back at the next Commission meeting.
The Commission discussed the possibility of commissioners attending upcoming
conferences.

annual budget of $24;560.
Summary of Discussion
Berlin stated the minutes of the Youth Committee
the Committee's recommendations for U.A.Y. mutes did not clearly reflect
Committee could clarify several questions whichtwould er eallow the was staffatso the
o prepare
a contract with U.A.Y.
1. Was the Committee's intent to restrict U.A.Y. to do Outreach only?
2. Pro the Committee recommend that the City find U.A.Y. for an Outreach
8 only.
3. Could U.A.Y. seek finding from other sources to a) expand Outreach
Programs or 2) add programs that had been drooped because funding was
reduced?
Swaim stated when he approached United Way to seek funding he indicated the money
would be used to pick up programs that had been cut by the City. He also indicated
he spoke from the top of his head because the U.A.Y, Board may not support additional
Programs. Swaim stated the funds would be used
not for additional programs, but
to add staff to provide Outreach in the smaller communities in the county.
Schabilion stated he felt sensitive that U.A.Y. was not able to provide programs other
than Outreach. U.A.Y.'s philosophy in the past had been to maintain flexibility
and fill in gaps where other agencies are not offering programs. Schabilion felt
the Committee recommended that the City funds would support Outreach programs.
Bray commented U.A.Y.'s total budget was analyzed with the objective that the
Committee wished to fund U.A.Y. He felt perhaps the entire corporate structure
should be redefined. Almost the entire funding of U.A.Y. will be coming from the
City. The question is if the City seeks to define the contract or control U.A.Y.
by means of a contract.
Schabilion felt the City funds were only enough to support staff salaries.
Berlin stated he wasn't sure how financial responsibility would be achieved if
U.A.Y. spent money other than salaries anyway they wanted to. He had difficulty
assessing what was being accomplished. Accomplishments must be measurable in order
to relate U.A.Y. progress to the Council.
Swaim felt an evaluation process could be based on M. Schabilion stated the U:A.Y.
Board would feel comfortable having an evaluation process included in the contract.
Berlin stated statistics were meaningless without success determinates.
1t is more difficult to determine success because of the type of clients U.A.Y.
handles.
Flinn questioned the status of establishing records and setting goals with each kid.
She explained, establishing goals was the only way to measure a client's success.
Swaim stated U.A.Y. was keeping intake records for each client:
0 0
Berlin commented the loose structure of U.A.Y. concerns him. Swaim stated U.A.Y.
had developed goals. Berlin stated that an evaluation technique within a, specific
time frame was necessary. Statistics of the number of contacts indicate what the
agency is doing but it does not measure success.
Stockman stated part of a success determinant was how effectively U.A.Y..dealt with
other agencies. The purpose of U.A.Y., she felt, was to identify kids with problems
and refer them to appropriate agencies.
Flinn questioned if U.A.Y. was able to identify the number of established contacts, identify
the client's problem, and indicate which agency the client was referred to.
The intake form and a questionnaire for young people were methods of evaluating U.A.Y. Is
effectiveness that were developed by the Director.
Flinn questioned if follow-up was currently offered.
Schabilion indicated U.A.Y.'s focus was on Outreach, that .this was the service most
needed and this program was the one best performed
Bray felt the Committee was not able to reach a consensus on the discussion at this
point. No agreement was reached on the amount of service„ on the evaluation mechanism
needed, or the financial accountability as they existed with Social Services and
U.A.Y. Agreement was reached on the definition of Outreach. He felt that if the
City were simply purchasing services, there would not be a disagreement.The whole
philosophy of U.A.Y. was at issue, lie felt it was difficult to understand what
U.A.Y. is doing.
Schreiber related to the Committee some of the comments from the community concerning
U.A.Y. A revised budget had been sent to the Manager's office which indicated 60%

Bray moved to recommend to the Council funding U.A.Y., but limiting U.A.Y. by
a contract to Outreach Programs. Stockman seconded. Swaim asked for clarification
of funding that the City provides. Could U.A.Y. seek funding from other agencies
Bray withdrew his motion.
Bray moved to recommend to the Council that 1) U.A.Y., a corporate entity, be
contracted to perform Outreach services (as defined by the Committee) in the
community, 2) that the contract not exceed an annual budget of $24,560 appropriated
by the City with the intention that the figure be 100; of the annual budget for
U.A.Y. Stockman seconded the motion.
Schabilion questioned the reasoning to limit United Way funds. Purington approved
of an Outreach worker in Johnson County but saw the need to limit the program
this fiscal year.

You may recall that at the public hearing concerning the proposed closing
of one block of Madison Street between Iowa Avenue and Washington Street
in front of the Pentacrest this past year, I spoke in opposition to that
closure.
However, I did make the point at that time and I wish to reiterate at
this time that I do feel there is a significant problem with pedestrian
crossing of Madison Street at the intersection with Washington Street
and at the intersection with Jefferson Street. I am concerned about the
potential auto --pedestrian conflict at these intersections, and feel that
several things might be done to improve pedestrian safety. I would like
to strongly urge the council that the intersection of Washington Street
and Madison be made a four-way stop so that pedestrians crossing this
intersection do not have to compete with through traffic. I would also
recommend that the intersection of Madison and Jefferson Streets be made
a three-way stop so that, again, pedestrians crossing do not have to com-
pete with through traffic.
I also wish to point out that at the intersection of Iowa Avenue and
Madison Street the first boulevard light in the median strip on Iowa
Avenue has been missing for over a year and has not been replaced. At
night this intersection is,therefore, rather dark and pedestrians may not
be seen well while crossing the street, ror pedestrians' safety, if for
no other reason, I would strongly urge that the boulevard light be re-
placed as soon as possible so there is better lighting at night than is
now present at this intersection.
Thank you very much.

normal, well -adjusted high-school aged youth as co-workers with youth
who have become anti -adults both at school and home are high both for
the adjusted youth and the "drop-out." The successful kids are looking
for problems to tackle, ways to make for a better society with fewer
crimes and wars. They want to understand how lonely kids react. Thus,
both groups of youth can profit from the contacts when the leadership
is strong and the whole program is carefully monitored.

along Village GreenBoulevard. Undeveloped and vacant nparcels ces rofdlandt
are found to the cast and south and across American Legion Road to the
north. Existing on the site are a farm house, barn, corncrib and
miscellaneous accessory farm structures. The ground slopes southwest at
a grade of approximately eight percent from a high elevation of 168 feet
(Iowa City datum) to a low elevation 132 feet in a distance of 450 feet.
STAFF
ANALYSIS: The subject PAD Plan submitted
by the Iowa City Development
Company represents a revision
of the area
development plan submitted by the applicant 1/29/76p(see mStaff Report,
Planning and Zoning Commission, 2/19/76). According to the revised PAD
plan, the existing farm house will remain in its present use, but the barn
will be converted to a five-plex. The remaining structures including the
corncrib will be removed or demolished. The plan also proposes the
construction of 13 single family homes. A total of 19 units on 220,955 square
feet of land area (minus street area) results in a not density development
of 11,629 square feet per dwelling unit. The overall square feet per
dwelling unit is consistent with the average lot size in the existing
Village Green Additions and is well above the minimum land arca per dwelling
unit ratio of 6,000 square feet per unit required in the UlB Zoite.
The major constraint of the area development plan is the proposal to
convert the existing barn to a five-plex. Although this proposal is
intriguing, it is the staff's feeling that the barn docs not fit in with
the characteristics of surrounding development.
From a historic point of view, the barn represents a well preserved 19th
century farm structure. From a planning standpoint, the barn, because
Of its large amount of structural disharmony, clashes with the surrounding
development both architecturally and aesthetically, thus creating an
objectionable influence upon the livability and enjoyment of the neighbor-
hood.
0
-2-
0
In addition to the above, the following deficiencies are noted and should
be changed:
the area development plan should be drawn to the scale of one (1)
inch to one hundred (100) feet.
2. I'he plan should include statements generally describing the proposed
Ievelopment and setting forth an intended time scliedule for the
completion of various phases.
3. the right-of-way width and pavement width of Village Green Road should
he 66 feet and 36 feet respectively unless varied by the Planning
and Zoning Commission.
Since portions of Village Green Road have been constructed at a 601
right-of-way width and 281 (pavement widt.h), it is recommended that
the above right-of-way and pavement width requirement be varied to
allow for continuation of tile existing street design. This variance
has been granted for streets in similar subdivisions where said
street design has already begun.
11. It should be noted on the plan that all lots with a driveway on
Village Green Court should have six off-street parking spaces.
S. The plan should show the zoning classification of proposed land
uses.
6. A cross-section detail of the proposed parking and driveway should
be shown.
7. The heights of existing structures should be shown.
8. An inlet is not needed on the turn -around of Village Farm Court.
9. The plan should include a planting screen separating the apartment
development from adjacent single family residences.
10. The title should be changed to "Revised Planned Area Development and
Preliminary Plat".
STAFF it is the Staff's recommendation
RECODLMENDATION: that approval of the subject
PAD plan be deferred until
the area development plan has
been revised to incorporate the above discrepancies. It is further
recommended that the Planning and Zoning Commission consider the alter-
native of denying the plan on the basis that the conversion of the
existing barn to multifamily use would have an adverse effect upon the
neighborhood.

The basis for requesting the vacation of the foregoing
real estate is as follows: 1n 1941, the owners of the lots
lying adjacent to the above describe(1 part of Verson Avenue
entered into a private vacation agreement whereby they pur-
ported to vacate said section of Person Avenue. In coniunction
with their vacation agrcemcnt, Chew same property owners
concurrently executed another agreement reserving to each
owner a right of way over this same section of Person Avenue.
'rhe legal validity of these agreements was not questioned
at the time and as a conse(luence, after their recordation with
the Johnson County Recorder) they were noted and reflected on
the record:: ol, various other county art([ city agencies, including
the official Plat of Black's P.irst A(lditi.on in the County
Recorder's Office, the Plat Records in the Johnson County
Auditor's Office and the Vacation Records of the City of Towa
City.
Two of the parties to these agreements were William L.
NUSSer and Mary Nusser, husband and wife, who (Fere the owners
Of Lot 4 of Black's First Addition, situated at the NI' corner
Of the intersection of Ferson Avenue and Koontz Avenue, the
latter presently being known as Park Road. Following the
death of William L. Nusser, Mary Nasser, now being the sole
owner of said Lot 4, married Harold L. Hands, whom she also
survived, still retaining her ownership of the Black's Addition
property.
On June 12, 19741 Mrs. (lands entered into a purchase
agreement. with Richard and Georgi.a Pegnetter whereby site
agreed to sell said Lot 4 to the Pegnetters. In entering
into this purchase agreement, it had been represented to
the Pegnetters, haled upon the plat records of the Johnson
County Recorder and Auditor and the records of tile' City
of Iowa City, that the segment of Ferson Avenue here in
question had been validly vacated.
As part of the process of transferring title to said
Lot 4 from Mrs.(lands to the Pegnetters the abstract of title
to the property was continued to cover the period from the
acquisition of Lot 4 by William and Mary Nnsser to the date of
sale by Mary Nusser to the Pognetters. Following this
continuation of the abstract of title, an opinion as to the
condition of the title to I,ot 4 was rendered by Mr. William
Meardon who therein raised a question as to the validity of
the 1941 vacation. By virtue of the latest continuation,
the fact now appeared that prior to the execution of the
Private vacation agreement, Black's First Addition was annexed
by the City of loiaa City and therefore, thequestion arose
as to whether any private vacation agreement executed sub-
sequcnt to the date of annexation :is valid and effective.
This question arose at some point around or after the
death of Mrs. (lands in the first- part of August, 1974.
Mr. Pulliam C. Nusser, as Executor of Mrs. (lands' Estate,
thereafter succeeded to her rights and obligations under
the prior purchase agreement. Pursuant to the terms of
the purchase agreement, the sale of Lot 4 was consummated
on August 1S, 1974, with the understanding that the Executor
of Mrs. Hands' Estate would pursue a resolution of the problem
raised in the earlier title opinion. The Legal question
involved was presented to the City Attorney's Office whose
opinion was that the 1941 private agreement did not effect a
valid vacation of Person Avenue.
It is the desire of the Executor of Mrs. (lands' Estate
to satisfy the expecat:ions of the Pegnctters as to the
vacated status of the section of Person Avenue here in
question. On the Executor's behalf therefore we submit
this vacation proposal to you for your consideration and
action. We do not believe that this vacation will in any
way be inconsistent with the best interests of the City of
Iowa City and that, :in fact, .it will further the City's interests
by officially confirming a vacation which until now everyone,
including the City of Iowa City, has believed took place in
1941.
Attached hereto :is a copy of the official plat of that
part of person Avenue here in question with appropriate
notations as to the proposed vacation area and the area
over which we feel a right of way should he prescryed.
I:f you believe any further information is needed we will be
happy to furnish it to you upon request.
I would appreciate being advised as to the procedure
now to be followed in regard to this vacation proposal.
Thank you for your time and cooperation.
Very truly yours,

SUBJECT:
STAFF REPORT
Planning and
July 1, 1976
Zoning Commission
V-7602. Vacation of all or part
of Person Avenue north of Park
Road; requested by Mr. Richard
Tucker, attorney for the estate
of Ms. Mary Hands.
STAFF The subject vacation of Ferson
ANALYSIS: Avenue was referred to the
Planning and Zoning Commission
for consideration by the Assistant
City Attorney in response to a letter dated January 28, 1976 from Mr.
Richard Tucker, attorney for the estate of Ms. Mary Hands who previously
owned the property at the northeast corner of Ferson Avenue and Park Road.
This letter and a memorandum from Mr. Bob Bowlin are attached and adequately
set forth the reasons for the subject vacation request.
In consideration of the subject request there are at least four alternative
courses of action which the Commission could take as follows:
1. Vacate all of Ferson Avenue north of Park Road subject to the
establishment or retention of a public access easement and utility
easement within the vacated right-of-way.
2. Vacate all of Ferson Avenue north of Park Road, except for the
center 20 feet of the right-of-way, subject to the retention of a
public utility easement within the vacated portion of the right-
of-way.
3. Vacate all of Ferson Avenue north of Park Road subject to the
establishment of a public access easement along the center 20
feet of the right-of-way and the retention of a public utility
easement within the vacated right-of-way.
4. Deny the request.
Vacation of the street right-of-way with the presumable subsequent
disposition to abutting property owners would preclude the City from
having any responsibility or liability for street maintenance, garbage
pick-up, snow removal or other city services. Such action, therefore,
would deny existing residents of services rendered by support of their
tax dollars and adversely affect the marketability of undeveloped interior
lots which could later be made available for single family residences.
For whatever reason, however, the residents were desirous of vacating
the right-of-way and had at least attempted to do so prior to the legal
problems which have now surfaced.
Besides the City's limited investment in the street dedicated in Black's
Park Addition near the turn of the century, its only interest, if the
abutting residents are receptive to closing the street, would be for access
0
-2-
0
to unaccessible areas or for other reasons which might affect the public
health, safety and general welfare.
There are heavily wooded undeveloped parcels of land immediately to the
north of the termination of Ferson Avenue, which by reason of severe
topographical limitations, have never been developed or subdivided.
The feasibility of developing the land for residential purposes, however,
is remote and the destruction of this natural environment would ruin
the character of an area typified by mature trees and other native
forms of vegetation and a natural wildlife habitat. Regardless, Ferson
Avenue is not the only means of access to this area which can be made
accessible via the extension of Gould Street west from Beldon Avenue.
The establishment of a public access easement within Ferson Avenue is
a necessity because of existing residences which have access to the
street. However, if the entire right-of-way is vacated and disposed,
development of the aforementioned existing vacant lots could be prohibited
even though a public access easement is established. According to the
Zoning Code, every buildable lot must front on a public street or on
an 'officially approved place". Alternatively, then, a prospective
home builder could confront the Board of Adjustment with an appeal that
the private drive be designated an officially approved place. There
is no assurance, however, that the Board would act favorably.
The center 20 feet of Ferson Avenue could be retained as public right-
of-way and the remaining portion vacated. The City would then assume
responsibility for the maintenance of the remaining portion of street
right-of-way and for providing essential services to the residents on
Ferson Avenue. The existing street surface, however, is in comparative
substandard condition and in dire need of repair. It would be essential
that the street be improved by the residents abutting Ferson Avenue or
by the City and the cost assessed against them. In addition, a turn-
around within the 60 -foot right-of-way at an appropriate location
would be desirable.
STAFF
RECONW-NDATIONS:
abutting property owners' desires with
to those residents most affected.
It is the Staff's recommendation
that one of the above courses
of action indicated above be
considered in view of the
special consideration being given
STAFF In review of the subject request,
COMMENT: it becomes readily apparent
that the lower Manville Heights
area, commonly referred to as
"mosquito flats", has but one access to the area via Normandy Drive.
Special attempt should be made to provide a secondary means of access in
emergency situations, through the City Park to the area.

MEMORANDUM
k ,
DATE: June 9, 1976
TO: Planning s Zoning Commission
FROM: Bob Bowlin, Asst. City Attorney
RE: Ferson Avenue Title Problems
Dear Members of the Commission:
For some time there has been a problem over whether or not
Ferson Avenue in front of properties owned by Richard Pegnetter
and Dr. Jacques is a vacated way or whether it is a dedicated
public street. In 1941 there was a purported private vacation of
this part of Ferson Avenue. This vacation appears on many abstracts
of people in the area. A title objection was raised concerning the
vacation and approximately a year ago our office was asked to look
into the matter. It was my opinion at that time that the vacation
was not effective and that that portion of Ferson Avenue was still
a dedicated public street. The property owners have been treating
it as a vacated way, and were paying taxes on it since 1941.
Mr. Pegnetter has now erected a fence in what is very possibly
the public right-of-way. He believes that this is his property.
I believe that it is necessary to get this matter resolved as
expeditiously as possible. Since part of the solution might be
a formal vacation of this area with agreements to preserve access,
I thought it might be appropriate to have a public hearing on this
matter before the Commission so that recommendations could be sent
to the Council. Some time ago, I sent a memo to the Council
requesting such a procedure, and it was my understanding that the
Council had agreed.
I would propose a public hearing before the Planning S Zoning
Commission with notice to all interested parties. Interested parties
would include the Richard Pegnetters, the Jacques, Ms. Steffi Hite,
the estate of Mary Hands, (Mr. Richard Tucker, Attorney at Law;
Mr. Bill Nusser), and the City of Iowa City (myself). At the public
hearing all the problems could be aired and possible solutions could
be worked out. At this time, I would like to suggest a possible time
of the week of June 21, 1976, or later for any such hearing. The
Jacques will apparently be out of town until Saturday, June 19, 1976.
I would anticipate that a $300.00 fee for a formal request for
a vacation would not have to be filed by any person in this case.
This is a rather complicated matter, but I would like to get it
resolved if we possibly can. I would be happy to answer any further
questions you have, and would like to appear at any Commission meeting
where the problem is discussed. Thank you.

Expanding the Area of Operation for the Housing Authority by
Cooperative Agreement
1. The housing Comanission, at a meeting on June 16, 1976, recom7rended
that the Council pursue Cooperative Agreements with the City of
Coralville, University Heights and the Board of Supervisors for
Johnson County unincorporated areas and to simultaneously pursue an
arrangement with the University of Iowa to make Housing Assistance
Payments for selected families living in University Married Student
Housing. (See attached extract of draft minutes)
2. The above recommendation was a result of inquiries being made as
to why the Authority does not make Housing Assistance Payments outside
the City limits, suggestions from staff members of HUD and receipt of
applications from families living in Married Student Housing controlled
by the University of Iowa. Further, the conversion of Section 23
Leased Housing and/or implementation of Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payments Program in this area was considered.
3. The Section 23 Leased housing Program limited assistance to those
families living in units over which code enforcem�t could be exercised
by the Authority. Further, units had to be on the tax rolls and could
not be owned by a governmental agency, i.e. the University of Iowa.
With the adoption and implementation of Section 8 Housing Assistance
P � P '
aymen-s--gram several changes occurred.
a. Under the "Finders Keepers Policy" the Public Housing
Authority is now authorized to make assistance payments on behalf
of an eligible family in any area wherein the P.H.A. is authorized
to execute contracts.
b. The restrictions concerning governmental ownership and tax
rolls have been eliminatc"l. There are certain restrictions to
prevent double subsidy; however, these would not include University
of Iowa Married Student housing nor Mark IV Apartments.
4. Th•. area wherein the P.H.A. is authorized to execute contracts can
be exp. °ed through a document entitled "Cooperative Agreement". This
is bei_: practiced in Iowa. For example, one P.H.A. in southwest Iowa
op.ratc.; in several counties. The Des Moines low Rent Housing Agency
has Cooperative Agreements with the City of west Des Moines and the
Polk County Board of Supervisors. (See Attached)
Paae 2 • •
5. Recommend Council approve, by simple motion, that the staff be
authorized to initiate discussions aryl negotiations with the City
of Coralville, University Heights and the Johnson County Board of
Supervisors on Cooperative Agreements which would permit the Authority
to make Housing Assistance Payments on behalf of eligible families
living in their area of jurisdiction.
6. R_ecamlend Council approve, by simple notion, that the staff
initiate discussions with the appropriate representative from the
University of Iowa which would permit the Authority to make Housing
Assistance Payments on behalf of selected families living in
University owned housing. In this connection, the University thru
its financial aids section would play a predominant role in determin-
ing which farriles receive the assistance - and this would be limited.
A Cooperative Agreement would not be required in this instance.

RE: Management of Autumn Park Apartments
1. Last September MID STATES Development, Inc. submitted a
proposal to HUD for the construction of 64 units on Willow
Street and American Legion Road. In the submission, they
indicated a desire to have the project managed by the local
Housing Agency. This concept was favorably viewed by the
Housing Commission and the Council. At the Council meeting
of February 3, 1976 the Council voted 4/3 to further
investigate whether the Authority should actually manage
the project. Additional study has been accomplished. The
subject wac discussed with HUD management staff representa-
tives and sample contracts obtained. HUD is in favor of
this concept. Additional discussions with Mr. Jacobsen
were held and the attached contract will be satisfactory to
his firm.
./
\P
2. MID STATES has now submitter) its detailed drawings to HUD
for approval and a firm commitment from FHA should be issued
on/about July 9, 1976. The next step will be the final closing
which should occur during the week of July 12th. At that
point, MID STATES must submit a detailed rianagement Plan and
the Management Contract.
3. The Contract was last discussed with Hill Jacobsen on
June 29, 1976. He indicated a strong desire to contract with
the Authority; however, until he has received our proposal
for comparison with other offers a decision cannot be reached.
4. Attached is a draft contract which spells out responsi-
bilities and has a rather lengthy list of tasks to be performed
and the relationship of the partiesinvolved. she contract
calls for MID STATES to pay 58 of gross
oughly
$800. per month to the Agent for performing the management
functions. The Housing Commission has recommended to the
Council that the Authority undertake this task. The Housing
Division, Department of Community Development can perform
this function without an increase in current authorized staff.
5. Recommend the Council approve the attached contract and
authorize the Mayor to execute same.

designate.
SECTION III. REGULATIONS The Department of Public Works of the City of
Iowa City, Iowa, shall develop and establish written policies, procedures,
criteria and regulations concerning the inspection, determination and approval
Of the standards for the construction and/or development of storm water manage-
ment structures.
Such rules and regulations shall be adopted by resolution by the City Council.
SECTION IV. ADMINISTRATION
A. Prior to the construction of any storm water control structure or storm
water detention facility on the construction or development site, the developer
shall obtain a building permit. No such permit shall be issued until the following
documents have been submitted to the Director of Public Works and approved:
1. Plans and proposed methods for the prevention and control of
soil erosion.

record in the office of the Director. Such record shall also include a co
every notice or order issued in connection with the matter. No hearing shapy ll be
valid unless a majority of the Board is present and no decision at a hearing of
shall be valid and binding unless reached by a majority of the whole Board.
Following the decision of the Housing Appeals Board, all parties shall be notified
of the decision by delivery to them of a copy of such decision by personal service
or by certified mail, return receipt requested. Any person aggrieved by the deci-
sion of the Housing Appeals Board may seek relief therefrom in any court of
competent jurisdiction, as provided in the laws of this State. An appeal
to this section shall not stay the effect of the Director's order unless so
ordered by the HousingA pursuant
Appeals Board.
SECTION VI. APPLICATION. This ordinance shall apply to any residential
development comprising a gross aggregate area of two (2) acres or more or to an
commercial, industrial, institutional, governmental, utility or other development
or redevelopment comprisinga Y
gross a gross aggregate area of one (1) acre or more. The
aggregate shall include streets and other dedicated lands.
SECTION VII. EMERGENCY. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
ordinance, whenever in the judgment of the Director of Public Works a condition
occurs in a storm water storage area that creates a dangerous and imminent health
and safety hazzard, the Director shall order such action as shall be effective
immediately or in the time and manner prescribed in the order itself.
SECTION VIII. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS.
A. Storm Water Release Rate. The controlled release rate of storm water
runoff shall not exceed the existing safe storm water drainage capacity of the
downstream system as determined by the Director. The release rate shall be the
average value computed with excess storm water representing 509 of the available
storage volume.
Such release rate shall be computed as a direct ratio of the areaof the
tributary watershed and shall not exceed 0.15 cubic feet per second per acre
drained.
Where a proposed development contains only a portion of a watershed or
Portions of several watersheds, the release rate and storage requirements shall
be based upon the proportion of the area being developed as compared to the entire
watershed tributary to the proposed storage area.
Where it can be demonstrated by the Developer that a higher storm water
release rate will not be contrary to the purpose and intent of this ordinance and
where such proposed release rate will not adversely affect properties in the down-
stream portion of the watershed, the Director may permit such release rate to be
used as deemed appropriate.
Ordinance No. •
Page 4
B. Excess Storm Water Passage
•
1. An excess storm water passage shall be provided for all storm
water storage areas. Such passage shall have capacity to convey through
the proposed development the excess storm water from the tributary water-
shed. The capacity of such excess storm water passage shall be constructed
in such a manner as to transport the peak rate of runoff from a 100 year
return frequency storm assuming all storm sewers are inoperative, all upstream
areas are fully developed in accordance with the City's current land use
plan, and that antecedent rainfall has saturated the tributary watershed.
2. No buildings or structures shall be constructed within such
passage, however, streets, parking lots, playgrounds, park areas, pedestrian
walkways, utility easements and other open space uses shall be considered
compatible uses. In the event such passageway is reshaped or its capacity to
transport excess storm water otherwise restricted, the Director shall notify
the agency, party or parties causing said restriction to remove the same,
and set a reasonable time for its removal. If said presons refuse to or are
unable to comply with said order, the Director shall cause said restrictions
removed at the expense of said persons.
3. Where a proposed development contains existing natural drainage,
appropriate land planning shall be undertaken to preserve said natural drainage
as part of the excess storm water passage.
C. Determination of Storage Capacity. The volume of required storm water
storage shall be calculated on the basis of the runoff from a 100 year return
frequency storm. Such calculation shall be made in accordance with the hydro -
graph method of analysis as discussed in "A computerized Method for the Hydrologic
Design of Culverts," I.H.R.B.P. HR -164 published by the Engineering Research
Institute, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa. Rossmiller and Dougal, February,
1974, or other method approved by the Director. The applicable storm water
runoff release rate shall be considered when calculating the required storm water
storage capacity.
D. Compensating Storage. In the event the orderly and reasonable develop-
ment of an area requires the storage of excess storm water to be located elsewhere,
compensating storage (the storage of an equal volume of excess storm water) may
be provided at an alternative location provided, however, that the feasibility and
details of storm water control shall be approved by the Director.
E. Easements. Easements which cover excess storm water passages, storm
water storage areas and other control structures shall be granted to the City for
the purpose of repair, alteration or to insure their proper operation, however,
the City shall reserve the right not to accept such easement or any portion
thereof.
SECTION IX. DRY BOTTOM STORM WATER STORAGE AREAS
A. Design Criteria.
1. Primary and Secondary Uses Dry bottom storm water storage areas
shall be designed to serve a secondary r•irpose for recreation, open space,
parking lot, or similar type of use th . will not be adversely affected by
occasional intermittent flooding.
Ordinance No. •
Page 5
•
2. Drain System. A system of drains shall be provided to transport
low flow storm water runoff through storage areas. Such drainage systems
shall have a positive gravity outlet to a natural passage or storm drain
with adequate capacity as described in Section VIII, subsection B.
Multiple outlets from a storm water storage area are to be avoided
if the outlets are designed to be less than four (4) inches in diameter.
3. Storage Duration. The combination of storage of excess storm water
runoff from a 100 year return frequency storm and the allowable release
rate shall not result in a storage duration in excess of forty-eight (48)
hours.
4. Grades. Where turf areas are used for the bottom of dry bottom
storage areas, the minimum grades for such areas shall be two (2) percent
(50 units horizontal to 1 unit vertical). Maximum side slopes for turf
shall be twenty-five (25) percent (4 units horizontal to 1 unit vertical).
Storage area side slopes shall follow the natural land contours in order to
minimize the amount of earth work necessary to create the storage facility.
S. Erosion Control. Erosion control measures consisting of mulch,
hydro -seeding, nurse crops, sod installation or other approved means shall
be utilized to control soil movement within sand around the storage basin.
Energy dissipating devices or stilling basins shall be provided to
ensure that downstream soil erosion is alleviated and the regime of the down-
stream drainage facility is not disturbed.
6. Control Structures. Control structures shall be designed as simple
as possible and shall not require manual adjustments for normal operation.
Control structures shall be designed to maintain a relatively uniform flow
independent of storm water storage volume. Inlet structures shall be
constructed in such a manner to prevent high velocity flow; to provide for
the interception of trash and debris and for soil erosion control. Inlets
shall be designed to eliminate turbulent flow conditions during any portion
of the storm water storage cycle.
Overflows for each storm water storage area shall be provided in
the event a storm in excess of the design capacity occurs. Such overflows
shall be constructed to function without specific attention and shall become
part of the excess storm water passage.
SECTION X. WET BOTTOM STORM WATER STORAGE AREAS
A. Design Criteria. Wet bottom storm water storage areas shall be designed
in accordance with the design criteria governing the construction of dry bottom
storm water storage areas, except for drairs as required by Section IX.A.2.
The following additional regulations shall apply:
1. Construction. The water surface area shall not exceed 1/10 of
the tributary watershed. Minimum normal water depth shall be four (4) feet.
If fish are to be used to keep the pond clean, at least 1/4 of the pond
area shall have a minimum depth of ten (10) feet.
Ordinance No. •
Page 6

Facilities shall be provided to lower the pond elevation by
gravity flow for cleaning purposes and land/water interface maintenance.
Protection of the land/water interface shall be provided to alleviate soil
erosion due to wave action.
2. Control Structures. Control structures for storm water release
shall operate at their maximum rate with only minor increases in the water
surface level.
3. Stagnation Control. Measures shall be included in the design to
prevent pond stagnation. Such measures may include fountain aeration or
other approved means to ensure aerobic pond conditions.
4. Determination of Storage Capacity. When calculating the storage
capacity of wet bottom storage areas, only the volume available to store
excess storm'water shall be considered. Permanent water storage does not
constitute control of excess storm water runoff.
SECTION XI. MISCELLANEOUS STORM WATER STORAGE AREAS.
A. Paved Surfaces. Paved surfaces, including automobile parking lots in
proposed storm water storage areas shall have minimum grades of one (1) percent
(100 units horizontal to one (1) unit vertical) and shall be limited to storage
depths of one and one-half (1-1/2) feet maximum. Pavement base design and construc-
tion shall be accomplished in such a manner as to prevent damage from flooding.
Control structures in paved areas shall be accessible for maintenance and clean-
ing. The use of vortex control facilities at inlets to ensure that the maximum
allowable release rates are being developed shall be required as necessary.
Where parking areas are used to store storm water, the areas of greatest
depth shall be restricted to the more remote, least used areas of the parking
facility.
B. Rooftop Surfaces. Rooftop storage of excess storm water shall be designed
with permanent -type control inlets and parapet walls to contain excess storm water.
Adequate structural roof design shall be provided to ensure that roof deflection
does not occur which could cause roof failure. Overflow areas shall be provided
to ensure that the weight of stored storm water will never exceed the structural
capacity of the roof.
C. Underground Storage. Underground storm water storage facilities shall
be designed for easy access to accommodate the removal of accumulated sediment.
Such facilities shall be provided with positive gravity outlets.
SECTION XII. CONTROL IN EXCESS OF REQUIREMENTS.
Provision of Control Exceeding Requirements In the event storm water
runoff control can be provided in excess of the requirements of this ordinance
and the benefit of such additional control would accrue to the City of Iowa City
at large, the City may provide public participation in the increased cost of
the control of storm water runoff in proportion to the additional benefits
received.
Ordinance No.

STATEMENT op P11IL9S21'HY AND I;_ ,TrNT
The basic philosophy of this ordinance affirms the storm water management
concept which holds, as its goal, the elimination of the storage or transportation
Of excess storm water in or through habitable structures. Methods used to
implement this management concept are designed to apportion the liabilities
and benefits of excess storm water to both dominant and servient land in an
equitable manner; this occurs when the rate at which storm water runoff proceeds
by gravity flow from high ground to low ground is decreased.
Development of land with pavements and rooftops tends to accomplish
just the opposite effect. In order to manage storm water runoff in a responsible
manner during and following the improvement of a site with roofs and pavements,
this ordinance requires that the particular development in question retain or
=:tore a portion of the excess storm water runoff by restricting the rate at which
it is discharged downstream. The parameters chosen to accomplish this purpose
attempt to balance the advantages and disadvantages of storm water runoff in such
a manner that dominant and servient land are treated in an equal manner.
It is not the intent of this ordinance to remove areas from use for the sole
Purpose of storing excess storm water. It is also not intended that land use be
restricted but that ,r acceptable locations for the temporary storage of excess storm
water runoff be provided.

SECTION 5. GENERAL REQUIPME-NTS
5.1 Application of Regulations. This ordinance shall apply to any residential
1
development comprising a gross aggregate area of two (2) acres or more
or to any commercial, industrial institutional, governmental, utility or .
other development or redevelopment comprising a gross aggregate area of
one (1) acre or more. The gross aggregate area shall include streets and
other dedicated lands.
5.2 Safety Precautions. All storm water management facilities shall be designed
and constructed to fully protect the public health, safety, and welfare. If
a condition occurs in a storm water storage area that is determined to present
o
a hazard to the public health, safety, and welfare, the agency, persn, or
persons responsible for the condition will be required to provide approved
corrective measures. In the event corrective measures are not employed, the
City of Iowa City will cause to have the hazard corrected at the expense of
the agency, party, or parties involved.
5.3 Erosion Control. During the construction phase of land development, approved
measures shall be taken to prevent the erosion and transportation of soil
downstream. Siltation of the downstream areas shall be prevented through the
strategic use of stilling basins, sodding of drainage channels, limiting
the period of time that the earth is stripped of vegetation or by other methods
approved by the City. In the event the storm water storage area functions
as a sediment trap, it shall be thoroughly cleaned and restored to its original
design storage capacity following the completion of the majority of land-
scaping and prior to acceptance by the City where such facility is being dedi-
cated to the City.

5.4 Storm Water Releese hate.
-- ThiN release rate is based on the safe capacity of
the downstream system. I
1s I:he same t is expressed in cubic feet per second per acre and
throughout the !2alrton Creek watershed.
In Computing the release rate for a given structure, the computation shall be
based on the storage facility being at 50 percent capacity.
The release of storm water shall not exceed 0115 cubic feet
drained. In Per 'second. per acre
the event a proposed development has additional watershed tribu-
tary to it, the total release rate shall be computed as a direct ratio of'the
area drained.
Since the ordinance covers the -entire city, it is very likely<that release,
rates from specific properties particularly in other w6te'rsheds,.can,be ata
higher rate than specified herein. Where such can be demonstrated, it would
be permitted.
5.5 Excess Storm Water passage. (Floodway). This provision requires all future
developments to provide a channel, pipe, ditch, etc., to carry excess storm
water through the development. Such passage (which is necessary irregardless
of this ordinance) must have sufficient capacity to accommodate the upstream
runoff from a'100 -year storm assumingifurther_that all; upstream areas are
developed in accord with the City's land use plan. Determi_nation,of the
capacity of the excess storm water passage is also based ,on the assumption that
all storm sewers upstream from the development are inoperative. In the event
storm sewers or intakes become plugged, an adequate passage must be provided
to accommodate excess storm waters without causing damage to the affected
development.

5A Storm IJater Release
— Rate• The controlled release rate of
storm water
runoff shall not exceed the existing safe storm water drainage capacity of
the downstream System. The release rate shall be the average value com-
puted with excess :storm water representing 50; of the available storage Volume.
Such release rate shall be computed as a direct ratio of the area of the
tributary watershed and shall not exceed 0.15 cubic feet per second per
acre drained. Determination of the release rate from each area shall be made
in such a manner so that soil erosion in the downstream channel is alleviated.
Where a proposed development contains only a portion of a watershed or por-
tions of several watersheds, the release rate and storage requirements shall be
based upon the proportion of the area being developed as compared to the
entire watershed tributary to the proposed storage area.
Where it can be demonstrated that a higher storm water release rate will not
be contrary to the purpose and intent of this ordinance and where such proposed
release rate will not adversly affect properties in the downstream portion
Of the watershed, the City Engineer may permit such release rate to be used
as he deems appropriate.
5.5 Excess Storm Water Yassa e. M excess storm water passage shall be provided
for all storm water storage areas. Such passage shall have adequate capa-
city to convey through the proposed development the excess storm water
from the tributary watershed. The capacity of such excess storm water
passage shall be adequate to transport the peak rate of runoff from a loo
year return frequency storm assuming all storm sewers are inoperative, all
upstream areas are fully developed in accordance with the City's current

land use plan, and that antecedent rain2aLl has saturated the tributary
,,;i tershed.
uo buildings or structures shall be constructed within such passage, how-
ever, streets, parking lots, playgrounds, park areas, pedestrian walkways,
utility easements and other open space uses shall be considered compatible
uses.
Design of the excess storm water passage (or floodway) shall include
to eliminate soil erosion or other damage
control of stormwater velocity
which could detract from the primary us,2 of the area.
in the event such passageway is reshaped or its capacity to transport
excess storm water otherwise restricted, the City will cause to have any
restrictions removed at the expense of the agency, party, or parties
causing said restriction.
Where a proposed development contains existing natural drainage, approp-
riate land planning shall be undertaken to preserve said natural drainage
as part of the excess storm water passage. '
5.6 Determination Of Storage Capacity. The volume of required storm water
storage shall be calculated on the basis of the runoff from a 100 year
return frequency storm. Such calculation shall be made in accord-
od of analysis as discussed in "A Computerized

adversely affect: (lilthoygh}s e o
states other uses of the storage area would be secondary to thardinance
t of stprrm
water storage, many other
uses, such as recreation areas, parking lots,
etc., would in
fact become the dominant or principal use).
B. Drain Sv^tem.
'�--- The drain system is intended to completely drain dry-�ttom
storage areas and to transport low
or
flow drainage resulting from hi , water
table, springs, seepage
_
other sources that might cause a creek or stream
to continue flowing long after storm waters
have been removed.
5.7 Compensating Storage. In the event the orderly and r0onable development of
an area requires the storage of excess storm water to be located elsewhere, comp-
ensating storage (the storage of an equal volume of excess storm water) may be
provided at an alternative location, provided however, that the feasibility and
do+tails of storm water control shall be approved by the City.
5.8 Easements. Easements which cover excess storm water passages, storm water
storage areas and other control structures shall be granted to the City for the
Purpose of repair, alteration or to insure their proper operation, however, the
City shall reserve the right not to accept such easement or any portion thereof
where it is determined that a storage or control facility primarily benefits
only a single property owner or those ilmediately adjacent thereto.
5.9 Design Criteria Standards and Specifications. Standards for the constructio:t
and/or development of storm water management structures and facilities shall be
in accordance with current city standards for like work or as approved by the
City Engineer.
The City may request the Iowa Natural Resources Council, the Johnson County
Soil Conservation District or other public or private agencies to review appli-
cable portions of proposed storm water management facilities or related design
criteria.
SECTION 6. DRY BOTTOM STORM WATER STORAGE AREAS
6.1 Design Criteria
A. Primary and Secondary Uses. Dry bottom storm water storage areas shall
be designed to serve a secondary purpose for recreation, open space,
parking lot, or similar type of use that will not be adversely affected by
occasional intermittent flooding.
B. Drain System. A system of drains shall be provided to transport low flow
storm water runoff through storage areas. Such drainage systems shall
have a positive gravity outlet to a natural passage or storm drain with
adequate capacity as described in Suction 5.5.
27
• 0
Multiple outlets from a storm water storage area are to be avoided
if the outlets are designed to be less than four (4) inches in diameter.
C. Storage Duration. The combination of storage of excess storm water
runoff from a 100 year return frequency storm and the allowable release
rate shall not result in a storage duration in excess of forty-eight
(48) hours.
D. Grades. Where turf areas are used for the bottom of dry bottomstorage
areas, the minimum grades for such areas shall be two (2) percent (50
units horizontal to 1 unit vertical). Maximum side slopes for turf
shall be twenty-five (25) percent (4 units horizontal to l unit vertical).
Storage area side slopes shall follow the natural land contours as
closely as practical in order to minimize the amount of earth work
necessary to create the storage facility.
E. Erosion Control. Suitable erosion control measures consisting of mulch,
hydro -seeding, nurse crops, sod installation or other approved means
shall be utilized to control soil movement within and around the storage
basin.
Adequate energy dissipating devices or stilling basins shall be pro-
vided to ensure that downstream soil erosion is alleviated and the
regime of the downstream drainage facility is not disturbed.
F. Control Structures. Control structures shall be designed as simple as
possible and shall not require manual adjustments for normal operation.
Control structures shall be designed to maintain a relatively uniform
flow independent of storm water storage volume. Inlet structures. shall
be constructed in such a manner to prevent high velocity flow; to provide
28
® C0P4MENT.1RY •
C. Storage Duration. It is proposed that storage areas will be completely
drained within 48 hours after a 100 year storm ends.
D. Grades. Criteria for grades for turf areas are established to assure
adequate drainage of storage areas; to prevent erosion of embankments and
to lessen adverse visual impact.
F. Control Structures. Controls should be designed to function without
occassional adjustment, clogging and without creating turbulent flow
wthe structure and cause erosion at
which might affect the capacity of
the outlet.
29 .
• COMMENTARY •
G. Overflows. Overflows are necessary to accommodate runoff in excess
of a 100 -year storm which would be beyond the capacity of a storage
structure.
It is anticipated that wet bottom storage areas
SECTION 7 WET BOTTOM STORAGE AREAS•
(ponds) would most likely be developed by a public agency i.e. SCS_, City, or
county park agencies or in conjunction with a farming operation where the
water area would serve a primary function i.e. recreation, stock watering,
fish rearing.
A. Construction. Wet bottom storage areas provide an optional means of con-
trolling storm water. If this option is selected, the water area should
not exceed one tenth of the watershed area and should be at least four feet
deep. Other provisions are included to help ensure a pond which is useable
for other purposes and will not become a stagnant mudhole.
30'
for the interception of trash and debris and for soil erosion control_
Inlets shall be designed to eliminate turbulent flow conditions
during any portion of the
storm water storage cycle.
Overflow;: for each storm water storage area shall be provided in the
event a storm in excess of the des'" capacity occurs. Such overflows
shall be constructed to function without specific attention and shall
become part of the excess storm water passage.
SECTION 7. WET BOTTOM STORM WATER STORAGE AREAS
7.1 Desi�cn criteria. Wet bottom storm water storage areas shall be designed in
accordance with the design criteria governing the construction of dry
bottom storm water storage areas, except for drains as required by Section
6.1-8. The following additional regulations shall apply:
A. Construction. The water surface area shall not exceed 1/10 of the
tributary watershed. Minimum normal water depth shall be four (4)
feet. If fish are to he used to keep the pond clean, at least 1/4 of
the pond area shall have a minimum depth of ten (10) feet.
Facilities shall be provided to ].ower the pond elevation by gravity
flow for cleaning purposes and land/water interface maintenance. pro-
tection of the land/water interface shall be provided to alleviate soil
erosion due to wave action.
II. Control Structures. Control structures for storm water release shall
be designed to operate at their maximum rate with only minor increases
in the water surface level. This feature is intended to minimize the
land surface wetted by frequent minor runoff conditions andtohelp
minimize fluctuations in pond level.
31
C. Stagnation Control. Measures shall be included in the design to prevent
pond stagnation. Such measures may include fountain aeration or other
approved means to ensure aerobic pond conditions.
D. Determination of Storage Capacity. When calculating the storage capacit
of wet bottom storage areas, only the volume available to store excess
storm water shall be considered. Permanent water storage does not con-
stitute control of excess storm water runoff.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS STORM WATER STORAGE AREAS
8.1 Paved Surfaces. Paved surfaces, including automobile parking lots in pro-
posed storm water storage areas shall have minimum grades of one (1) percent
(100 units horizontal to one (1) unit vertical) and shall belimitedto
storage depths of one and one-half (1-1/2) feet maximum. Pavement base
design and construction shall be accomplished in such a manner as to prevent
damage from flooding. Control structures in paved areas shall be easily
accessible for maintenance and cleaning. The use of vortex control facilities
at inlets to ensure that the maximum allowable release rates are being
developed shall be required as necessary.
Where parking areas are used to store storm water, the areas of greatest
depth shall be restricted to the more remote, least used areas of the park-
ing facility.
8.2 Rooftop Surfaces. Rooftop storage of excess storm water shall be designed
with permanent -type control inlets and parapet walls to containexcess
storm water. Adequate structural roof design shall be provided to ensure
that roof deflection does not occur which could cause roof failure. Over-
flow areas shall be provided to ensure that the weight of stored storm water
will never exceed the structural capacity of the roof.

8.1 Paved Surfaces. there paved surfaces such as parking lots are used for
storm water storage, they should be constructed in such a manner so as to
minimize potential damage to the facility as well as other uses.

COMMENTARY
13.3 Underground SLorac;e. Use of underground stdrage_appears .very limited, "but
does provide an additional alternative.
SECTION 9 CONTROL IN EXCESS OF REQUIREMENTS. Obviously certain areas are well
suited and easily adaptable for storm water storage. Where a developer
is willing to provide excess storage (i£ it would in fact provide a
benefit to the city) the city should participate in its cost.
10..1 Administration. The Building Inspector reviews applications for building
permits and is therefore in an excellent position to administer this ordinance.
Where runoff determinations are necessary, the proposal can be referred to
the appropriate agency for review.
Runoff control facilities should (where practical) be constructed during the
initial phases of land development in that they may also serve to control
erosion when the land is most vulnerable.
Where a proposed subdivision is involved, or a planned area -development as
provided for in the zoning ordinance, provisions for storm water management
could be reviewed simultaneously by the City Planning Commission.
Where a proposed subdivision lies outside the City -"limits, butwitbiu the 2�-
mile _control area, compliance with this ordinance.,couldrbe made_a-condition
of plat approval.

8.3 Underground Storage. tora e •
Underground
designed for easy access storm water storage facilities shall be
to accommodate the removal of accumulated sediment.
Such facilities ::hall he provided with positive gravity outlets.
SECTION 9. CONTROL IN EXCESS OF REQUIREMENTS
9-1 Provision of Control Exceedinci Requirements. In the event storm water runoff
control can be provided in excess of Ulu requirements of this ordinance and
the benefit of such additional control would accure to the City of Iowa City
at large, the City shall retain the right to provide public participation
in the increased cost of the control of storm water runoff in proportion to
the additional benefits received.
SIiCTZON 10. ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT
10.1
Administration
This ordinance shall be administered and enforced by the
Building Code Official. A building permit shall be obtained prior to the
construction of any building, structure or storm water detention facility on
the site.
No such permit shall be issued until the plans, specifications and cal-
culations for the control of storm water runoff as required by this ordinance
shall have been approved by the appropriate agency or agencies designated by
the City Manager.
Facilities for the control of storm water runoff shall, insofar, as practical,
be constructed prior to the start of any building construction or site develop-
ment- Construction of the storm water control system is intended to be
accomplished entirely as part of the cost of land development or redevelopment-
Wherethe proposed development involves the subdivision Of land or the
development of a Planned Area Development as provided for in the zoning
ordinance, the proposed plans shall also be referred to the City Planning
Commission for review and recommendation.

Zoning Commission
SUBJECT: Z-7606. An application for rezoning
a tract of land, Cl to C2. Location
of the requested area is along the
Lower Muscatine Road and Ili hwa 6 B cast side of First Avenue between
by
White House Enterprises; Charles Mullen, Attors. ney. Date filed:tion was April 13,
1976; 45 -day limitation: May 28, 1976.
STAFF
ANALYSIS: White House Enterprises request
that a tract of land 59,966 square
feet in area be rezoned from Cl to
by two arterial streets; Lower Muscatine Road oethe bnorth ject pand eHighway l is r6ered
By-pass to the south. Land areas contiguous to boundaries of the request
area are zoned C2 (west) and Cl (cast). A substantial tract of land immediately
north of the subject area is zoned M1 industrial. Presently the City owns
a tract of land contiguous to First Avenue and to the applicant property
zoned C2. Whatever the disposition of the City's property, access will be
prohibited to First Avenue.
The principal reasons needed for the rezoning by the applicant are expressed
in their letter of April 1, 1976 to the Department of Community Development
(see attachment).
The granting of this request, then, would effectively accomplish the following:
I. Permit an increase in allowable building heights from 25 feet maximum in
Cl to a maximum of 4S feet in C2,
2. Waiving of yard requirements,
3. Change parking requirements from one space for each one hundred (100)
square feet to one space for each three hundred (300) square feet,
4. Allow additional uses as permitted by commercial office zone (CO) and
highway commercial zone (CH).
The Engineering Division has expressed concern to the Planning Division
over the increasing traffic congestion at the intersection of First Avenue
and Lower Muscatine Road. The change in zoning from Cl to C2 would allow
such additional uses as gas stations and other drive-in service establish-
ments such as restaurants within close proximity of this intersection.
These types of uses would generate high traffic. The Planning and Engineering
Staffs agree that this type of development would have an undesirable impact
on existing and future traffic conditions.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based upon the foregoing
considerations, the Staff
recommends the subject area not
be rezoned from Cl to C2. It is
® 0
-z-
the Staff's understanding that the applicant does not wish to use the area
for construction of a high traffic generating use as suggested above. The
staff would, then, recommend that an interim ordinance be adopted to amend
the parking requirements for commercial establishments in the Cl Zone.
Little Cl zoning presently exists within the City because of the restric-
tiveness of its parking requirement.

Gentlemen,
On behalf of White }louse Enterprises, I hereby request a
change in the zoning ordance on the following property
from C-1 to C-2:
Lots 2-3-4 Block 1 Fairmeadows Addition First Unit.
The reasons for the change are as follows:
1—The property is contiguous to land which is C-2, and is
directly across Lower Muscatine Rd. which is ITI.
2—There is no other C-1 land on the east side of Iowa City,
except for two parcels located x• mile to 1 mile from our
property.
3—The nearest residential area (RIA) is located across the
Uighway 6 By—Pass, which is a natural barrier from our property.
4—The C-1 classification is presently restricting us from
neEotiating on the dale or lease of the property.
On the basis of the above explanation, I trust our request will
be granted.

UA Y Sectary
of discussion N formal action taken: •
I. Jim Swaim asked for approval of certain expenditures which he deemed
necessary for the month of June.
Approval by the board was given for:
Repair of cassete tape recorder
Past due utilities in the amount of $210.00 due the Friends Meeting.
Post Office Box and $50.00 in stamps
$50.00'toward books for the Youth library
Subscriptions to F.P.S. and East-West Journal -- approximately $13.00
Juvenile Justice Assoc. membership- 25.00
Office supplies- after discussion Linda Schreiber offered to aid Jim in
obtaining these throughthe City supply to be covered by our city account.
Desk lamps for the office and reading lamps for the library -were authorized.
Balance of expenses due on the Frisbee tournament held in City Park were
authorized.
In other expenditures applied for the board authorized certain members
to report back on the possibility of purchasing an electric typewriter,
a new office desk and innertubes.
Jeff Schabilion proposed and Leisa Fearing seconded a motion to pay Jim
Swaims tuition in the amount of $180.00 for classes he is currently taking
in the University. This amount is to come from the Staff Improvement Account.
Larry Schmidt asked for authorization and monetary support for a proposed
canoe trip, with six youth and one other staff person for July, unanimous
approval.
2. A good share of the meeting was devoted to discussion of the proposed
contract with the city, as presented by Linda Schreiber. Thoughts were
shared on the proposed accounting system which was shown as vulnerable
in the Board's opinion. Tom Mikelson pointed out the fact that he was
not sure we should have to give the city the power to oversee all our
funds when the contract called for them to pay only salaries and the other
monies were to be received from other sources. Linda pointed out that the
city has the right to oversee and have feed back from any funded organization.
Jim Swaim mentioned that Tom Eilers could fulfill the accounting needs and
submit a report to the city on a monthly basis, that all expenditures should
and would go through the UAY Board of Directors for approval.
After much discussion Linda Schreiber said she would tranmit the Board's
viewpoint to Mr. Berlin and would get back to Tom within the next two days
with their revisions.
3. Jim Swaim mentioned that he would like to close the office for two wee4s
in August to insure the staff a vacation, He had cleared this through
Social Services who assured him they would provide a back-up in cases of
emergency. Unanimously approved.
4. MarLarew had brought UD the question of liability ipsurance and Tom
and yim felt that by having a waiver slip signed by all parents UAY would
free of liability in the event of an accident. This trill be done com-
mencing in the fall.
5. Larry Schmidt has been invited to attend the IDAA drug workshop in Des
Moines the last trei:s in June, all expenses paid. He will receive certi-
fication as a drug counselor.
6. Due to the fact that Virginia Maurer has not become a board member as yet
the committee report onthe revision of by=laws and personnel policies has
been postponed until July.

Youth Homes, Incorporated, is .presently exploring the pos-
CL of opening a Boys' Group.Home in Iowa City. An LEAA
grant has been prepared and is awaiting final approval from
the Iowa Crime Commission. It has alreadyreceived the
approval of the Eastern Iowa Area Crime Commission, and the
Johnson County Board of Supervisors has agreed to provide the
necessary matching funds. The LEAH grant will be used to
equip the home and begin its operation. When the LEAA grant
expires, Youth Homes will add the Boys' Group Home to its
contract with the Department of Social Services.
y (continued on Page 2)

The present plan is for the Boys' Group Home to have live-in house -
parents with a weekend relief staff. .We are assuming a capacity of
six boys, ages 14 through 17. The`goal', similar to that of the.Girls'
Group Home, will be to aid the residents in developing the necessary:
skills to return home, go to an alternate living.arrangement, or move
into independent living. The houseparents will provide counseling
on both daily problems and long-range problems.and/or goals.
Youth Homes also plans to hire a social worker to do therapeutic
casework at both the Boys' Group Home; and the Girls' Group Home in i
conjunction with this grant proposal.
Our immediate need is for any lead on a large house available for rent'
and zoned appropriately for a Boys' Group Home. If you have any
ideas, please call me at 337-4523.

PEER FACILITATORS PROGRAM by Sue we6tehman, City High Coun6ekot
The counselors at City High School - Frank•Carthey, Dan Zioberek, and
Sue Westerman - will be starting a new program this fall which is
designed to train and supervise students as facilitators of the
career explorations of their peers. The goal of this program is to
meet the need, most pressing to a majority of youth as'.expressed by
our students, the need for more help in exploring -and choosing careers.
The intent of the new system is to expand and increase career counseling
services by utilizing student facilitators, and to provide a unique
opportunity for students to learn and practice helping skills such as
decision-making strategies, career exploratory procedures, and values
clarification techniques. '
Approximately 12 to 15 students will be selected from volunteers each
trimester for the program. After 18 to 24 hours of training by the
regular counselors, the students will perform such tasks as speaking
with individuals and groups of students on -request about progress in
their career development, providing research assistance in the media
center, and staffing the career center throughout the school day.
Participation in the program is designed to give students a chance
for personal career growth as well as for learningskills, interacting
more positively with their peers, and possibly receiving some academic
credit. Also, students who utilize the peer facilitators will have
increased and enhanced opportunities for career exploration and
development.

PAIN
I was happy, walking
the
hall
when all at once I felt it --
small at first
and then it seemed
like it was ALL OVER My Head
pounding until I couldn't concentrate.
What caused the pain
which was so intense? .
It seemed as if something had hold of me --
and wouldn't let go.
Temples pulses head

Yesterday.
Ah yes, I remember it very clearly.
It was the day I realized what was happening,
What was really going on.
What caused me to relize what -I
was becoming?
Why did I follow the rules for all these years?
Just yesterday I found out I was being
tought lies.
How come I didn't wonder about anything I had
been told?
Does it come to kids in their teens?
I was given no ideas of my own.
I wasn't even given a chance to live
my own life.
As I grew, I began to question everything.
I was given no answer.
No one satisfied my thoughts by
explaining things to me.
They thought I'd forget the things they wouldn't
teach me.
They thought I'd forget about my dreams.
But I haven't forgotten anything.
I still have the same dreams and:thoughts,.
But this time my thoughts and dreams are going
to start making themselves known.
Society might be shocked at the change
that is taking place within me.
I'm not shocked, I could feel it coming.
I tried to let people know but they thought
I was just pulling their leg.
I guess I'm learning about a whole new life.
This new life of mine is my own happiness.
SOMETIMES
Sometimes I like to be alone.
When I'm alone I open up.
I let the sun shine through me.
Sometimes I'm in my room
With
io turned on.
The music seemsate
o pourthrough me.
It carries my thoughts
like a piece of paper_blowin' in the wind.
As the music moved me
I feel like singing out,
But when:the music stops
I feel left alone
in such a big world.
Alone in such a gigantic world.

SPORTS --now in its third consecutive year --is a three-week outdoor living
and learning experience for junior high age boys and girls from Iowa
City and environs. The participants in SPORTS are recruited on the
basis of three main selection criteria: evidence of problems with low
self-esteem, poor peer relations, certain learning disabilities, or a
combination of these and other behavior problems.
Three such programs having 8-10 participants in each group are being
offered according to the following schedule:
Group I for Boys
Training: June 7-18
Trip: June 21-25 Canoeing camp -out on Upper Iowa River
Group II for Boys
Training: July 19-30
Trip: August 2-6 Canoeing camp -out on Upper Iowa River
Group III for Girls
Training: June 28 -July 9
Trip: July 12-16 canoeing camp -out on Iowa River from Iowa City
to New Boston, Illinois
Recruitment for both boys' and girls' groups has been completed for
summer 176.
Examples of skills and talents to be developed in the program include:
1. Canoeing;
2. Swimming;
3. Cooking;
4. Emergency first-aid;
5. Physical fitness;
6. Mountaineering;
7. Rock climbing;
8. Orienteering;
9. Other skills related to outdoor living.
The first two weeks of training concentrate on promoting outdoor living
skills, physical conditioning, and teamwork, while theithird..week employs
these skills in a five-day cmmpiaig trip away from home. Broader goals
center on providing a unique outdoor living experience which will enable
the boys and girls to develop more self-confidence, increase skills in
working and living with others, and provide constructive experiences
which can be used in leisure time.
The working concept behind SPORTS has evolved from an effort to incorporate
certain fundamental attitudes and techniques of Outward Bound training
camps located in five separate areas of the United States..;.Dr. Kurt Hahn,
Q'�
0 •
a German educator, conceived the idea of Outward Bound to counter
the problems that he saw developing among young people in Europe. The
essence of his idea and that of SPORTS is that boys and girls have to
learn for themselves what they are capable of accomplishing physically,
emotionally, and spiritually. In Outward Bound programs, young people
push themselves to their limits as they meet tough physical and mental
challenges such as mountaineering and survival in the wilderness, and
l.
s in SRTS are nt

Limits.
Many young people in Outward Bound sessions are said to have grown
personally in these programs and there have been reports that delinquents
and disadvantaged teen-agers from ghettos have been helped. In SPORTS,
the circumstances and expertise are provided for the chi U to discover
what his capabilities and limits are. In almost all cases, the child
finds that his capabilities exceed his own expectations of himself.
The staff supervising this prograde consist of highly qualified men and
women with many years of experience working with youths in recreation
programs. Many have themselves attended Outward Bound training camps
in different areas of the United States :n o:der to convey this
Philosophy from first-hand experience.

Police ExpQon.eh Poa-t by David MontgomeAy
In the late fall of 1973, the Director of Exploring for the Hawkeye
Area Council came to the Chief of the Iowa City Police Department and
asked him Jf the department would sponser a law enforcement post. In
November of 1973, the Ioa City Police Explorer.Post #222 was formed.
The goal of Exploring is to let young adults investigate professions
before they must decide what profession they will work in. The purpose
of the Ioa City Police Explorer Post (I.C.P.E.) is to develop a better
de
part-
ment.
W chieveof tthishe uties goal bydattendinges of a cla sesmtaughtab police depart -
and work with the police on the street and in .the station. PThe cclasses
ers
include learning procedures involving communications, photography, finger-
printing, arrest and booking, traffic control, crowd;control; weaponry,
report writing, patrolling, first aid, and testifying in:court. In
the station, Explorers file reports, answer telephones, take complaints,
operate the tracis machine and dispatch patrol cars`on-the radio. In
the past, Explorers have assisted police officers in directing traffic,
investigating crime scenes and traffic accidents.

The Post also works at its own activities, Every Saturday, an Explorer
Iowa City,
directs traffic at the First National Towncrest Bank in
Past events have included working at the Johnson
the State Fair in Des Moines. County Iowa
Fair and
Recreational activities are also included in thefunctions. of the Post.
We camp out in state and local parks, organize swimming events and com-
pete annually in the Explorer Sumner and Winter Olympics held in Cedar
Rapids and Duluth, Minnesota.
The requirements for becoming a member of the Post are few. The person,
male or female, must be between the ages of 14 and 21, have some spare
time to give up freely without pay and have an interest in law enforce-
ment. The Post asks a lot from each member and gives little in return
except in the knowledge that we provide a needed service-to.the community.
The Police Explorer Post #222 meets on the second and fourth: Tuesday of
every month at 7:00 p.m. in the squad room of the Police Station. We
always welcome people who may be -interested in becoming members of the
Post and invite them to attend the meetings.

Dear President Boyd:
0 '�-11
On July 22, 1975, the City Council of the City of Iowa City enacted
ordinance No. 75-2774 which went into effect on August 1, 1975. The
ordinance, a copy of which is attached to this letter, provides for a
revision in the sewer rate charges from a percentage of the water bill
to a flat sun per unit of water consumed.
Because the agreement between the University and the City concerning
the collection and treatment of sewage is predicated on the fact that
the University is to be charged the same percentage as other customers
inside the city limits and since the percentage basis is no longer in
effect, the City deems the applicable provisions of the contract relating
to the percentage determinant to be invalid.
Paragraph 4 of the contract states that if the City changes the percentage
on which the sewer service is based or changes the water rate, it shall
give thirty (30) days written notice to the University. Pursuant to this
Paragraph, you are hereby notified that the City of Iowa City has by ordi-
nance changed the City water rates and has made revisions in the sever
charge as so stated in the attached ordinance and by this reference made
a part of this notice. Therefore, beginning August 1, 1976, the rate as
established and set forth in ordinance No. 75-2774 shall be in effect in
the determination of your sewer service fee.
Very truly yours,
Neal G. Berlin

RE: State Transit Assistance
It appears that some confusion exists regarding the state transit
assistance bill. There is a separate federal program administered
by the state titled 16B2. This program is only available to private
non n_ r` ofit corporations. It provides capital and a small amount of
Operating assistance to set up specialized transportation services.
16B2 does require sign -off by all transportation operators in the
affected area that they cannot provide the equivalent service at an
equivalent cost.
There is no relationship between 16B2 and the state transit assis-
tance program. Guidelines for the state program have not been
developed. I.have been appointed to the committee which will help
the Iowa DOT develop these guidelines.
The local agency which receives the state funds will probably be
able to pass those funds on to another agency. It is highly unlikely
that this pass-thru will be mandated. Any interested parties will,
of course, be able to comment on the state guidelines as they are
developed.

RE: Recycling of Asphalt for City Park Parking Lots
Dick Plastino informs me that the City will have some excess asphalt
from the Kirkwood Avenue street project. -My calculations :indicate
that there is enough asphalt to surface the fire engine parking lot
4" thick using the existing rock surface as base. This ,would be
highly desirable as it would cut down on the dust problem and would
let us conform to our own Code.
There is also enough asphalt to surface the proposed new 32 car
parking lot east of the old maintenance building (north of the
proposed new playground area). Ile would need to haul in 350.tons
of rock for a base 6" thick. Hopefully, we could spend some of the
$3,530 of H.C.D.A. money allocated for this lot for the base rock.
The asphalt for both lots would be spread and rolled by the Street
Department. I understand the Recreation Center parking lot was
built in a similar manner.

RE: Annexation Agreement with the City of Coralville
In December, 1968, the City of Iowa City and the City of Coralville entered
into an annexation agreement. A portion of that agreement related to
establishing boundaries for voluntary annexation of additional land by both
cities.
At a meeting between the Iowa City City Council and the City Council of
Coralville on February 19, 1976, there was discussion of the possibility
of Coralville annexing a portion of land currently in Iowa City which is
adjacent to Cardinal Road. This annexation makes sense primarily because
of the commercial development adjacent to the road which is in Coralville
and the problem with the railroad crossing at that location. Preliminary
documents to accomplish this change have been reviewed by the City Manager
and the City Attorney and returned to the Coralville City Attorney for
final preparation.
In addition, it has been suggested by Iowa City that the annexation agreement
be updated for another ten years and the description of the boundaries, which
will govern voluntary annexation for both cities, be appropriately extended.
It is expected that this agreement will be presented for your consideration at
an early date.

Respected members:
I'm upset, I'd like my sons nam, cleared. His punishment for lack of
+ppetite for a steady diet of profanity and his concern over the undue strain
on a previous leg injury causing him to leave the Police Explorer Post 222
summer academy seems to be a punishment not fully thought out. Although it
was a voluntary activity and he elected to go, I have been informed that in
the upcoming years every member of Post 222 will be required to attend.
Our people young and idealistic join an orginization whose own code
includes a clause saying the dignity of "man" is to be upheld. Then they
disregard this important rule. My son left the academy after medical advice
and attention was denied him for a painful leg injury of previous date agra-
vated by strenous activity. His lack of appetite for a steady diet of profanity
was not appreciated. Perhaps profanity is considered "tough" or "cool" but
not in my home.
As a Parent I thought any organization connected to the Boy Scouts of
America would be admirable. So much for my apathy, my lack of investigation,
Abut you, the Council, support their organization. Are�Ji--,-'c- ing it?

FROM: Sgt. David Harris, Iowa City Police Department
RE:
Explorer Advisor, Iowa City Post 222
Actions Taken by the Iowa City Explorer Post Surrounding
the Activities of Two Explorer Members, Roger Knight
and Glade Cook
On June 3, 1976 the Des Moines Police Explorer
Post held a seven day academy for police explorers at
Camp Dodge in Des Moines. Prior to this date of
June 3, 1976, approximately 8 members of the Iowa
City Explorer Post 222 volunteered and showed
interest that they wanted to attend the seven day
academy in Des Moines.
On two separate occasions prior to the explorers
leaving for the academy, the activities surrounding
the academy were explained in depth to all the members
so that the academy would be no surprise to them once
they arrived. It was further explained to them that the
activities that were involved in the academy were of a
military fashion. It was explained to all the explorers
that the activities would be strenuous for the entire
seven days that they attended. They would be asked to
take part in physical activities that would be strenuous
and also were going to have to conduct themselves, while
at the academy, in a military fashion. This fashion
would be things such as saluting higher ranking officers

Letter to City Manager
and also standing at attention for long periods of
time and also keeping their living quarters in a con-
dition so that a white glove inspection could be made
at anytime during their stay at the academy.
June 4, 1976 approximately 24 hours after arriving at the
academy in Des Moines, two members of our explorer post
chose to leave without excuse. The facts surrounding
their leaving are as follows:
An interview with Roger Knight, Assistant Chief
of our explorer post revealed that the reason he left
the academy was because of a knee injury that he had
prior to the academy. The knee injury was discussed
with Roger Knight before leaving for the academy with this
advisor. This advisor was assured by Roger that the knee
injury he had would not cause any problem during physical
activities at the academy. Roger further stated to this
advisor that after arriving at the academy the injury
that he had prior to this was aggravated due to the
physical activities -that the explorers were forced to take
part in. He stated that if he did not take part in the
physical activities he would have been ridiculed by the
other explorers who were attending. He stated that he
had conversation with an explorer Sergeant, who was his
direct supervisor during the academy and that the sergeant
did not see fit or failed to report this injury to his
superior, which would have been Sergeant Breining of the

Letter to City Manager
Ucs Moines Police Department. Roger further stated that
subsequent to his leaving, he invited another explorer
If our post to join with him in leaving. This explorer
is Glade Cook, who is a patrolman with the Iowa City Police
Explorer Post 222.
June 11, 1976 three advisors from the Iowa City
Police Department attended the graduation ceremony held
at Camp Dodge at 7:00 P.M. in the evening. Prior to
the graduation, this advisor, while accompanied by the other
two advisors, had a conversation with Sgt. Breining of the
Des Moines Police Department, who is the head advisor of
the Des Moines Police Explorer Post and also organizer
and overseer of the entire academy that was held at
Camp Dodge. Sgt. Breining related to me that he became
aware of Roger Knight's knee injury at approximately 4:00
P.M. on June 4, 1976. He was advised by other members that
Roger Knight and Glade Cook were leaving the academy and saw
fit to talk to the boys before their departure. Roger
explained to Sgt. Breining his aggravated injury and Sgt.
Breining had consented to let Roger take part in the
administrative duties of the academy and would excuse him
from all physical activities throughout the academy.
Sgt. Breining further related that Roger Knight wanted no part
of administrative duties and had chosen to leave the academy.
Sgt. Breining then talked to Glade Cook and asked Glade
if he wanted to be a leader or a follower. Glade stated to
Sgt. Breining that he chose to be a follower and was going

to leave the academy with Roger Knight.
June 22, 1976 the advisory board of the Iowa City
Police Explorer Post 222 held a meeting prior to the
regular scheduled meeting of our post. Present at the
meeting were Frank Burns, Charles Singleman, Linda Crock,
and David Harris. It was decided after our meeting that
we would poll the entire membership of Post 222 in an
attempt to ascertain their feelings surrounding the
disciplinary action that should be taken against the
two explorers. A subsequent vote was taken of all the
members of our post and a second meeting of the advisory
board was held later that evening, June 22nd. It was
decided by the advisory board that the following action
should be taken against the two explorers involved.
Roger Knight, Assistant Chief of Post 222 was demoted to
the rank of patrolman and suspended for a period of 30 days
commencing June 1, 1976, and was also asked to reimburse
Post 222 the $45.00 registration fee for the academy.
Glade Cook, Patrolman with the Iowa City Police
Explorer Post was suspended for a period of 30 days
commencing July 1, 1976 and upon his returning, August
1, 1976, would be under probationary status for a period of
90 days. He was also asked to reimburse Post 222 the
$45.00 registration for the academy.

the fact that the release may not relieve the City of responsibility, the

'111is dosire was reaffirmed by the present City Council only last week.
'file Council is also of the opinion that housing for elderly persons
which is located near the downtown area would offer many locational
advantages whicli would not exist in outlying locations. 'Ilse Council
is, however, also of the opinion that some elderly persons would prefer
to live in a quieter outlying location.
The Council has diligently attempted to provide for elderly housing
in doT•:ntown Towa City since 1972. llowever, because of the high cost
of land and construction in Iowa City, as of this time no housing of
this type has been constructed. The Council will continue in its efforts
to obtain close -in housing for elderly and handicapped persons.
The City Co;+ncil also shares your concern for the aced for providing

previously by bir. Oxford are consistent with the best interests of

Dear Mr. Anderson:
Thank you for your letter to Mayor Neuhouser relative to Urban
Renewal development in downtown Iowa City.
Urban Renewal funding cannot be used for the purpose of constructing
low income housing, however there are periodically other funds
available which could be used for this purpose. At the present
time the City does have an allocation of 62 units of housing for
the elderly which was to be constructed in the downtown area of
Iowa City, however the recent litigation against Old Capitol
Associates places the status of this project in question as of
this time. The City Council has, however, indicated that they
are in favor of the construction of housing for the elderly and
handicapped in downtown Iowa City and I'm sure they will continue
in their efforts to secure funding for this type of housing.
Federal regulations require that housing for the elderly or
handicapped would be accessible to handicapped persons. More
specifically, the federal minimum property standards mandate
that housing be constructed in this manner.
Because of the limitations on Urban Renewal. funds no renovation
of public or private structures will be financed from Urban Renewal
funds. However, the City Council has allocated several hundred
thousand dollars for the rehabilitation of residential structures ,

and the Council has allocated an additional. one hundred th

City Council
FROM: Richard J. Plastino
RE: Summary of Study on Separate
Waste
DATE: June 18, 1976
Collection of Recyclable Solid
A review of the available literature and the Iowa City solid waste
recycling system has resulted in several firm conclusions being deter-
mined relative to newsprint recycling and recycling of other materials.
This paper will first list the conclusions drawn from these studies
and the remainder of the paper will explain each separate:conclusion.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. Iowa City should continue to use separate trucks for the collection
of separated material, such as newsprint, as opposed to a rack mounted
on the refuse truck. With a rack, recycled products are picked up
on the regular weekly routes.
2. The public relations program for Iowa City's recycling program
should be stepped up and funds should be allocated for radio, T.V.,
newspaper and other types of media advertising.
3. The City does need to pass an anti. -scavenger ordinance. This
ordinance would prevent unauthorized persons from`travelling ahead
of City vehicles on the first Saturday of every month and scavenging
paper put out on the curb for the City pickup.
4. The frequency of pickup should be once per month.
S. The City should consider only recycling of newsprint and not glass
or metal.
6. The City should re-evaluate the market price every 'six (6) months
in order to obtain the best price.
EXPLANATIONS:
1. In the separate truck approach, no attempt is 'made to mix regular
solid waste pickup with recycling efforts. in .the 'case of Iowa City,
a separate truck is sent out for newspaper collection the first
Saturday of every month or.every other month.
page 2. 0 .
Collection of Recyclable Solid Waste
The rack approach involves pickup of newsprint at the same time
regular solid waste is picked up. Tlie`major deficiency of this method
is that the newspaper racks on the sides of the trucks fill up more
quickly than the rest of the truck.-`. A.trip must then be made to
the recycling center one or two times for each regular load of solid
waste. Now that Iowa City is using large 25 cubic yard trucks, this
situation would consume much extra time.
The key to increased public participation in newspaper recycling
programs lies primarily in media advertising. The regularity of
pickup and length of time that recyclinghas been in.effect are
also important, but the most important factor in obtaining and re-
taining citizen awareness and participation is public relations
through the media. It is suggested that the City obtain free and
paid for advertising in the Press Citizen, the Interstate Shopper,
and local radio stations. Fxperimental advertising on a Cedar Rapids
T.V. station should also be tried. In addition, notices in utility
billings, printed door knob hangers,'and announcements made to and
by local civic groups will be helpful.
3. Although Iowa City has.not faced appreciable scavenger.problems,
scavenger problems do have a high probability of occurrence when
market prices are high. With prices at high levels, a separate
paper collection program, such as Iowa City's, may become a target
for many scavengers.
There is no desire to stop legitimate organizations from collecting
paper; however, once paper is put out'on the curb on the first
Saturday of the month for the City's newspaper collection program,
this paper should become the property:of the City., The City maintains
its collection program through market fluctuations,idieh prices are
both high and low. There is justification for the.City, to reap the
reward when the prices are high since only the City's program is
also maintained when the prices are low.;,The experience of most
cities reveals that a small number of citations will eliminate the
scavenger problem quite quickly. An anti -scavenger ordinance is
necessary as a legal vehicle to control scavenger activity. It is
believed that enforcement could be by the police department through
radio contact by the refuse superintendent.
4. A study of several communities reveals -some correlation between
frequency of collection and level of participation, although
participation is more a function of community/socio-economics and
media campaigns.
The most definite correlation was found between program participation
and length of duration of the program. For example, a program that
had been in existence only a year generally had a-lowerpercentage
of participation than a program that had been in _effect three years.
This would seem to indicate that Iowa City,should;continue its pro-
gram, and more importantly, maintain the•;same frequency of pickup for
extended periods. The advantage of oncea month 'pickup is the fact
that people can memorize the fact that the City picks up the first
Saturday of every month.
page 3. • .
Collection of Recyclable Solid Waste
The participation rate in Iowa City's program fluctuates so much
that conclusions are difficult to draw; however, it can be noted
that newsprint tonnage in April and May of last year was 108 tons
with monthly pickup and tonnage picked up in the bi-monthly pickup
for April and May of 1976 was S7 tons. An undue amount of weight
should not be placed on this difference; however, it is felt that
monthly pickup will result in increased participation. More impor-
tantly, the monthly pickup should continue without any changes in
frequency for an extended period of time in order to build up
participation. A study of several communities indicates that an
expected increase in participation of about 18% per.year can be expected
as the program becomes more fixed in the citizens' normal routine.
S. A study of 22 other communities revealed that newsprint is the most
economically feasible material to collect. While wastepaper prices
periodically go up and down, price increases have not been mirrored
by glass and metal container salvage prices. This situation, in
conjunction with glass and metal representing smaller portions of
solid waste, has resulted in wastepaper being most amenable to
separate collection.
Typical quanities of recyclable, and non -recyclable materials are
shown below:
Recyclable Materials (lbs) Non-
Recyl.

Tin/Bi News- rials Total
Glass Metal Alum. paper Total (lbs) (lbs)
lbs/house-
hold/wk 4.5 1.7 0.3 12.2 18.7 19.8 38.5*
*(excludes brush and yard waste)
The small quantity of aluminum and the difficulty of preparing and
collecting glass and aluminum, makes the economics of these products
infeasible.
6. At the present time, the City has a contract with City Carton Company
for which the City is paid 40% of the market price at any given time.
The present market price in June of 1976 is $40 per ton; therefore,
the City obtains $16 per ton. In order to obtain the best price
the City should re -bid at least once every six (6) months.

TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager
FROM: Paul Glaves, Redevelopment Specialist
RE: Design Review
1. I attended the Design Review Committee meeting on June 30. At that meeting the
plans for a new building to be located within the Urban Renewal Project area
were presented. The building is to be located fronting on Dubuque Street,
immediately to the south of the mini -park on Washington Street.
2. The plans for this structure clearly illustrate some of the problems the City
will face during redevelopment of the Urban Renewal area. I thought you should
be advised of this situation.
3. The planned structure is a one story, concrete block building, forty feet by
eighty feet, with a full basement. It is to be built fully to the lot lines.
No provision for plantings or other amenities is planned.
The structure is less than ideal. A single story seems a minimal use of a prime
site, but the builder contends he can't build a second story and make it rent
to cover the added costs.
The single story will probably cause a stair step profile with whatever is built
next door on the mini -park site. I would hope that that structure (on parcel 65-2)
would not also be only one story.
The building is to be ribbed concrete block (normal concrete color) on the front
and plain block on the sides. This presents no problem on the north, as the
adjacent building will eventually cover this wall. On the other hand, the south
side, on the alley will be visible, and will show at an angle from the area
around the focal point" and Plaza Centre One.
We inquired about the possibility of extending the ribbed block around the corner
on the south side, twenty feet back or so, and received a lukewarm response at
best.
4. We questioned the intensity at which they plan to use this prime site, and asked
Why they didn't include a second story, with offices or residences located there.
The response was, of course, economic, and the point was well taken. The added
elevator, stairway, hallway, etc., would in their opinion subtract sufficient
square footage and add sufficient cost to make the second story not economically
viable. I haven't made any calculations, but they may well be right. This is
a problem we will face on any small structure.
S. Given the present powers of the Design Review Committee, we can do very little
about this structure. We will have a little more clout during the proposal review
process prior to accepting bids. But, if the economics of a small structure is
as claimed in this case, we will be hard pressed to insist on designs which won't
pay for themselves. When the topic of design review and coordination comes up
again, these are problems to keep in mind.

RE: Followup - Mark IV Recreation Problems
As of last Thursday, July 1, Steve Morris agreed to make bus
passes available to Mark IV children, as a group, to go to the
Horn playground and return to Mark IV. When I called
Steve McCurdy at Mark IV social services to make sure the
procedure was all set, he said they probably wouldn't be going
to the Horn playground in July as their program was already
scheduled. I reminded him that the Recreation Division's
playground programs would be concluded on July 30.
Marily Levin had previously offered to assist the Mark IV Staff
with program ideas, how and where to find arts and crafts
materials (some at no cost), and in any other way she could.
But, as of this date, she has had no response from Mark IV.
This episode of the Mark IV story has much the same format as
Previous ones. The management and staff of Mark IV do not
seem to be as interested in providing recreational services to
their residents as we are.

The City Council is in the process of reviewing the City's urban renewal
plan. Many of the provisions of the plan relate to the interests of the
University of Iowa.
Certain matters relating to land use and traffic may be changed. It would
seem to be desirable for the City staff to meet with representatives of the
University to discuss proposed changes to the plan.
Specific topics to be discussed include the deletion of the transition zone
with that area to be incorporated into the Central Business Core, street
closures and other specific provisions relating to the University area.
A joint staff meeting at an early date seems appropriate. Your representa-
tives should contact the City Manager.

On behalf of the University I want to express our appre-
ciation for your invitation to discuss the utilization of
lands in the urban renewal area, as indicated in your let-
ter of June 28, 1976. We understand the difficult and complex
nature of the decisions confronting the City Council.
do not•want to add to your burden'We
s. At the same time, we
are grateful for the opportunity to express our long-term
concerns for the area bounded by Washington, Clinton, Bur-
lington, and Capitol streets.
Because of the proximity of three University colleges to
that area, I am joined in this letter by the Dean of Eacul=
ties, the deans of Liberal Arts, Engineering and Education
as well as the departmental executives of Journalism and
Speech and Dramatic Art.
Our primary concern relates to the fact that the Univer-
sity is an integral part of the downtown Iowa City com-
munity. As a neighbor, therefore, we are hopeful that
future urban renewal development in this area will achieve
the maximum possible benefit for the central business core
and the entire city, including the University. "
In approaching urban renewal, we realize that the central
city is being rebuilt to last .at least a hundred ,years.
Many of the long-term needs of the City,and.the Univer-
sity cannot now be accurately predicted. . Nevertheless,.
we should try to anticipate the future and allow enough
flexibility so that our successors can respond to the'de
mands of their times as well as we to ours.
Today as in the 1930s it is not expected that University
enrollments will grow in the foreseeable future. Yet, chang-
ing educational and service needs will require different

beof beds is not increasing. care deliInstead, we are shifting
from wards to private rooms and improving service. we also
face a difficult space shortage in the law school. This
space need is primarily caused by the changing nature of
legal education during
tional the last decade toward new instruc-
techniques. Our outstanding law library will con-
tinue to grow even though enrollment does not.
Everchanging educational needs at Iowa are illustrated by
an article appearing in the student newspaper of 1870 sug-
gesting the desirability of establishing a reading room
in the library so that students could sit and read books
in the library and not be required to take them home. That
innovation is now sound academic practice, but it did re-
quire space.
The colleges of Engineering, Liberal Arts and Education
similarly face space and facility needs, now and in the
future. These colleges are located directly adjacent to
urban renewal land. The
School of JCollege of Engineering and the
ournalism are located in the same block. Quite
apart from the currently growing enrollments in Engineering
and Journalism, these programs -have site needs. Journalism
has requested an additional Eloor, and there is -the possi-
bility that Speech might: appropriately join Journalism in
a "communications"

At the same time that we are concerned about future communi-
cation field needs, the College of Engineering faces de-
manding space needs. Changes in engineering education
are occurring rapidly as is'evidenced by the recent reorgani-
zation of the College's departments. We hope to move Chemi-
cal Engineering to the Engineering -Communications block.
Compounding this situation are the needs of the Institute
Of Hydraulic Research. We are limited in space on the
west side of the river for expansion -of this world-renowned
research and teaching institute.
In the case of the College of Education, we hope Lindquist I
will shortly be augmented by Lindquist II. The College

Dear Mr, Ruben:
As a result of the court ruling which nullified the contract
between Old Capitol Associates and the City of Iowa City,
the proposal submitted by Old Capitol for.Section 23 HAP,
Project IA2202 can no longer be considered valid..This
leaves the City with an Annual Contributions Contract,,project

proposals.

The City once again has control of the land and is most inter-
ested in moving ahead with the entire Urban Renewal program,
Accordingly the Council has placed elderly housing on top of
the list of priorities for inclusion in the redevelopment
project.
To assist the City, it is requested that HUD give consideration
to the suggestions listed below:
a• Permit the City to retain the allocation of 62 units
by completing the conversion of the allocation from Section
23 to Section 8.
b• Advertise for the construction of the units on a
pre -selected site with a known land cost. The land would
be sold to the selected developer. The cost of the land
has been a pro'31em in the past. This can be rectified,

c. Due to construction costs, land costs, overall
problems of high-rise buildings, and the -Council's
desire to include an elderly housing structure in
the downtown area, it is requested that the allocation
of units be increased from 62 to 100. This will pro-
vide a more viable project. Perhaps the 38 additional
units could be obtained from recaptured funds.
d. For consideration is the inclusion of 60 units
as individual dwelling units and the remaining 40
as congregate type units with a central dining facility
which would be available for all tenants.

Drinking Myths
A guided tour through
folklore, fantasy, humbug
& hogwash
by Joe Dolan
Senior Program Manager
Operation Threshold
A good host never lets a guest's glass gel
empty. There's nothing hospitable about
pushing alcohol or any other drug. A good
host doesn't want his guests to get drunk or
sick. He wants them to have a good
time...and remember it the next day.
Why bother to debunk a bunch of harm-
less myths about drinking? Because
they're not so harmless.
For instance? If a guy thinks It's okay to
smash down 8 to to beers every night
because "It's only beer" ...he could
develop a serious drinking problem
without even knowing it.
We have nine million alcoholic
Americans. It's become a national plague.
Yet in some other societies, where they
don't share out misconceptions about
drinking, alcoholism is rare.
So the mare we know about drinking, the
better we can handle it. The better we can
decide whether, where, when, why, how
much, and with whom to drink.
ll,
The really serious probi•m In our society
Is drug ubu. Right. And our number one
drug problem is alcohol abuse. About
300,000 Americans are addicted to heroin.
But about 9,000,000 are addicted to alcohol.
It's not even close.
It's rude to refuse a drink. Nonsense.
What's rude is trying to push a drink on
someone who doesn't want it or shouldn't
have it.
"Ya gotta hand it to Joe. lie can really
hold his liquor." Don't envy Joe. Often the
guy who can hold so much is developing a
"tolerance" for alcohol.And tolerance can
be a polite word for need.
"What a man! still on his feet eller a
whole fifth." When we stop thinking it's
manly to drink too much, we have begun to
grow up. it's no more manly to over -drink
than it is to over -eat.
If the parents don't drink, the children
won't drink. Sometimes. But the highest
incidence of alcoholism occurs among the
off -spring of parents who are either tee-
totalers ... or alcoholic. Perhaps the "ex-
tremism"of the parents' attitudes 13 an
Important factor.
Very few women become alcoholic. In the
1950's, there were 5 or 8 alcoholic men to
every woman. Now the ratio is about 3 to 1.
Evidently this is one area where women's
liberation is catching on too.well.
Pedple are friendlier when they're drunk.
Maybe. But they're also more hostile,
more dangerous, more criminal, snore
homicidal and more suicidal. Half of all
murders are alcohol-related. And one third
of all suicides.
People gel drunk ... or sick ... from switch. -
Ing drinks. That shouldn't really make
much difference. What usually causes an
adverse reaction to alcohol is drinking too'
much. .. ..
You're not an alcoholic unless you drink a
plat a day. There's no simple rude of
thumb. Eltperts have concluded that how
mach one drinks may be far less importan t
than when he drinks, how he drinks and
why he drinks.
Alcoholism Is just a stale of mind. It's
more than that. it's a very real illness. And
there is scientific evidence that
physiological dependence Is involved.
The first round should be a "double" to
break the Ice. Breaking the Ice Is a job for
a good host or hostess ... not for a bottle.
You must have more to "give" your guests
than just alcohol.
Mixing your drinks causes hangovers. The
major cause of hangovers Is drinking too

The "Drunk Tank" is a good cure for
alcoholism. Nonsense. Alcoholism is an
illness, and can be treated successfully.
We don't jail people for other illnesses.
Why for alcoholism?
Give him black coffee. That'll sobor him
up. Sure, in about five hours. Cold showers
don't work either. Only time can get the
alcohol out of the system, as the liver
metabolizes the alcohol. Slowly. There's
no way to hurry it.
The best cure for a hangover is...
Everybody has his favorite. But they all
have one thing in common: They don't
work. What works? Preventive medicine.

friends with drinking problems.
Most alcoholic people are middle-aged or +
older. A University of Californla research
team has found that the highest proportion
of drinking problems is among, men in

incidence occurs among men in their 40's
and 50's.

This month brings a close to FY 76 and a fairly successful report on at
of the stated goals and objectives. The levels of service for the summer la

Office hours for registration were extended into the evening to better serve 41
the public beginning in September 1975.
Some of the problems occuring during the year were:
1. Mercer Park tennis court use conflict with South East Jr. High P.E. and public.
2. Thievery of billfolds, purses and clothing from game and locker rooms.
3. Teen age delinquents intimidating and harassing people using the Center
especially around the east entrance and parking lot. In staff's opinion
this is the #1 problem to be corrected. I believe 'a drastic up grading of
the parking lot and entrance way is most important towards a solution. -
4. Staff transportation.
5. Transportation for SPI.
6. Equal sports scheduling for men and women.
7. The impact of increased fees and charges
Physical changes to division facilities by Park Division include in addition
to the roof repair:
1. A cement ramp and opening of the patio fencing outside the east entrance.
2. Installation of toilet fixtures, altering of entrances and the ordering
of wider partitions to accomodate the handicapped.
3. Correcting of wading pool leak at Mercer Pool. "
4. Conversion of 2 Center store rooms to offices.
5. Installation of ceramic tile on floors of lower level rest rooms. (contracted)•
6. Plans prepared for an elevator in the Center tabled.
7. The Optimist Club purchased a wall weight machine which was installed to
replace our rather trcublesome bar bell system.
Other items worthy of mention here are:
1. A"no smoking" policy for areas of the Center except meeting rooms and offices
has been adopted.
2. A participant evaluation form is now being used for all programs.
3. The Special Olympics for handicapped held in April, and the SPI Halloween
Carnival and the special instructional swim program were especially well
received.
4. The evening dance for senior citizens was a great success.
5. The growing interest in adult lap swim at the Center both day time and
Tuesday and Thursday evening. It has slacked somewhat during the summer
but that can be expected with other outdoor interests. The adult hour
at Mercer has been a disaster although we make frequent announcements.

the month of June multiplied by the number of acres mowed revealed
a total of approximately 1,585 acres mowed. This amount does not
include all the park acreage but reflects only those acres maintained

At ceremonies June 30, 1976 Mr. Clifford Newton of the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Apprenticeship and Training presented to the Members of the Iowa City Fire Department
Apprenticeship Committee their certificate of registration from the U.S. Department oC
I.nbor. The certificate shows U.S. Department of Labor recognition of the "Apprenticeship
standards for the trade of Fire Fighter adopted by the Iowa City Fire Department and
International Association of fire Fighters AFL/CIO Local No. 610, Iowa City, Iowa.
Mr. Newton has worked with the Apprenticeship Committee since January 1976 in setting
up this program. The long range goal of the program will be increased professional
fire protection and fire fighting services for the citizen's of Iowa City. The Iowa City
Fire Department is the first Fire Department in the State of Iowa to adopt and operate
such a program.
Background Information
'i'he National Apprenticenhin and Training Standards for the. Fire Fighter were developed
Jointly by the International Association of Fire Chiefs and the International Association
of Fire Fighters. A large amount of cooperation and assistance was received from the
following agencies: Local Unions, Fire Department Administrations, Bureau of Apprenticeship
and 'Training Agencies, State Apprenticeship Councils, and Departments of Vocational
Nducation. The program has been under development since July 1975.
Much of the subject matter in the program comes from the National Fire Protection
Association Pamplet 1001 "Fire Fighter Professional Qualifications". The goal of the
National Program is the same as Iowa City's; to promote better professional Fire Protection.
The program contents and subject matter are easily amended to enable continuous up dating
of training.. The will permit the Iowa City Fire Department to keep abreast of new techniques,
equipment, and changes in the community.
Advancement from Apprentice Fire Fighter to Journeyman Fire Fighter is accomplished in a
three (3) year period. Advancement is guaged by testing, both written examination and
practical applications are used in this testing procedure.
Iowa City's program deals with subject matter for the Iowa City area and the Iowa City
fire Department. Such as: Fire Protection Systems, Water Systems, Apparatus, Streets,
Pre—Fire Planning, etc.
The program incorporated "the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972" and an "Affirmative
Action Plan" adopted by the City of Iowa City for use by the Iowa City Fire Department.
The lows. City Apprenticeship Committee consists of the following individuals:
Committee Chairman: Art Kloos, Battalion Chief
Supervisor of Apprentices: Larry Kinney, Fire Department Training Officer

Board of Library Trustees
Iowa City Public Library
307 Last College
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are pleased to submit herewith our recommended Building Program for a new
public library facility for Iowa City, Jolla.
In the spring of 1975 you had requested Robert Rohlf to meet with you to
discuss the possibility of a study of your present library services and to
inspect the present library building. Following that meeting and subsequent
correspondence and coamunication on March 10, 1975 he submitted a proposal to
you which stated in part:
"Following several visits to your present library and inspection of
your facilities, I feel that it would be economically unfeasible, if not
irresponsible, to attcmnt another addition to your present building.
She inefficiencies of staff time (.uid therefore cost), public inconv^n-
ience and curtailment of service programs, added to the increasin-
maintenance costs of the present structures, force me to conclude that
only an entirely ne:f main library is economically feasible. For that
reason, my proposal is concerned only with a new project, and if this
is entirely in conflict ;rith your Board's wishes, I would withdraw
the proposal,"
Our studies and analysis since the time of your accent.ance of our proposal
(as mutually- modified) has reinforced the original beliefin the ext.rcne need
for an entirely new phy:i(:al facj.lity for library service in Iowa City and the
inadvisability and even imprudence in any consideration of constructing Mother
addition to the present library building.
Our contract of July 117, 1975 provieed that we prepare a recommended
Building Program stateme((t ;:hich will 1) Describe the purpose, scope and
function of the library buildin-, 2) Dacri.be physical requirements and aesthetic
character of the bu ildinE, 3) stablisl; and define the specific areas needed in
the building, their purposes, size .requirements, capacities and functional
relationships,"
The recommendations contained herein are meant to neet those requirements
and to provide an architect with t':;e functional service and space information
needed for the desi(n of a modern and efficient l.ibrr-iy building.

IO'r7A CITY- PUBLIC LIBRARY
DUILDIR G PROGRAM
101.1. CITY IOWA
I2:TR0�TI0;;
Over recent years the Iowa City Library Board, City officials and
library staff have become increasingly concerned regarding the gxeat need
for nore adequate public library facilities for Iowa City, Accordingly
the consultants were retained to develop a library building program
detailing the specific space needs to adequately provide for the
services and collections needed for a truly effective library progran
for Iowa City,
The consultants received a variety of reports studies and other
data which describe the cu -rent characteristics and environment of Iowa
City and also attempt to forecast the city of the future. Reports and
studies re-+iewed included the follo;ring:
--
U. S. Census data (including the 1974 Special Census)
--
Public O.ffice Spaces (Johnson Count Regional gional Planning Commission)
-- Users and Use o.f the Io:City Public Libr2ry (Survey conducted
by Iowa City Public Library
�iorari Ser-.,
Agency, 1975
-- Lon r,-Ran:tee Crals (Iowa City Public Library Board- of Trustees,
iiovenbcr, 197.5)
Iowa Citv Public Tdbr _r� Annu; l Re its .for 1975, 1974 and 1973
In addition ti;e consultants inte):vieifed members of the Iowa City
Public Library steff, the Iowa City City Manager and the Director of the
1
Johnson County Regional. Planning Commission.
A detailed questionnaire submitted by the consultants was completed'
by the library staff and the consultants in a series of meetings and
discuGsions with the library staff on October 17 & 18P 1975 raised specific
questions for consideration and decision by the library Director and staff.
A preliminary program draft was submitted to the library Director
in February which resulted in a series of library staff task force
reports recommending specific facilities and requesting provisions for
specific services and functions in a new library building. Intensive
additional discussions were held with the library Director in April and
consensus was reached on significant requirements for a new public library
building for Iowa City.
As a result of the above investigations and discussions, and based
on their professional experience in the program planning of public
libraries the consultants sub it this Building Program as their
recommendation to the citizens of Iota City,
The Building Program for a near Iowa City public Library as submitted
herein, for the Board's consideration and approval, proposes:
I. To describe the community needs and library organization
and materials,
II. To describe the physical requirements and aesthetic character
of the building.
III. To establich and define the specific areas needed in the
building their ptL poses their size requirements their
capacitics� and i�heir functional relationships.
The Building Pro3ram, when approved by official Board action, will
be the basic document subnitted to the architect for his guidance in all
phases of the buildin.g project.

The potential inpact of population growth on the resources,
services and facilities of the public library has been recognized in
the standards of the Anerican Library Association which stipulate that,
"Library buildings should be planned to accommodate community
population growth for some twenty years plus the accelerated
use of libraries growing out of the increased emphasis on
formal and continuing education."
A recoanenda'tion of the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission
in its publication, Public Office Spaces, which states, "Design -future
City and County buildings to accommodate a twenty-year growth projection"
is in agreement with AL1+ as quoted above.
to determine a "design population" for
The consultants in order

primary source the projections of the Regional Planning Commission.
Perhaps a natural assunption would be that the building should be
planned to reflect only the population anticipated to be within the
corporate limits of to'.,a City in 1995.
In fact, the Iona City Public Lib`ary through a variety of contractual
and reciprocal arrant cents provides public library service to the whole
of Johnson County. It is a reasonable assumption that it will do so in
the future
Iowa City has been a leader in cooperation with other libraries as

provides the "help'inU hes.d" in its in.,sdiate vicinity by Ure provision

I
It is obvious that the use of the proposed library building by county
residents, both rural and urban , will require additional space to be
provided in order to meet this demand.
liowever, the demands of the county residents will be proportionately
reduced by the distance to be traveled to Iowa City and by use of other
puolic libraries in the county.
It is recommended by the consultants, therefore, that a demand factor
of twenty-five percent be applied to those residents of Johnson County
anticipated to be living outside the corporate limits of Iowa City in
1995• It is impossible to demonstrate this percentage as statistically
valid but Table 22, "Distance of Users' hone rom Library", in the survey,
Users: and Usen of the Iola City Public Libras+ . does provide some informa-
tion relative to the consultants' recommendation.
It is the reco=lendation of the consultants that ',.n adjusted "desigcn
population" of 68,912 (rounded to 70,000) as detailed below be used for
building planning.

( Cor,.nunity Characteristics Vis -a -Vis Goals Adopted by Iowa Citv Public Library
The design population can be applied to recognized standards to
indicate general average space needs but a detailed review of local
population charact aris tics and pattern of library use is significantly
more valid in projecting space and service needs.
A thorough review of census data reveals significant variation in
Iowa City from national averages. These social and economic characteristics
contribute to an unusually high level of public library use by the Ioi:a.
City population. Even more importantly, these indicators show increasing
gains over the last decade.
The census data indicates that the Iowa City Public Library service
area is growing more rapidly in population than any other area of Iowa;
that the average number of coripleted years of school is 1.9 years above
the U.S, average; that 39% of area residents over the age of 25 have four
or more years of college compared to the Iowa and the national average
of only 10p; that over 6T5 are in white collar occupational groups
compared w 18;3 nationally and that the family median income (despite
the large member of students) is over 4 2' above both the Iowa and national
averages.
These social and economic characteristics strongly indicate above
average library use and above average demand for librar, services and
materials. Every study of library use and users, both nationally and
locally reveals a. very- high correlation between high library use and
above averag- economic and education levels and high level of white
collar occupations. This correlation appear_. repeatedly as can be seen
in such areas an Betln!ada, Mid; licnnepin County, lin, and park Forrest,
Ill to cite only a few examples.
The present use of the Iowa City Public Library (first of all Iowa
public libraries in p::r capita circulation and p -,r book circulation),
and the increasing prossurcc For additional. services and materials which
care impossible to provide because of the extreme physical limitations of
the present buildin.- are evidence of the unique social raid economic
characteristics of the Iowa City populace d
described above -and which
require library facilities significantly greater than those required in
a more typical American community.
The adoption of the Lona Range Coals statement by the Iowa City
Public Library Board of Trustees in Iiovember, 1975 recognizes these
special cha acteristics of Iowa City in its references to contracts with
other libraries and its emphasis on educational, information and cultural
goals (see Appendix II).
A new library building in Iowa City should be planned with all of
the above factors ].I1 mind. It is certain that a well planned library,
vital in concept o)f design and fwnct-on, will bring to Iowa City a
community asset of educational, cultural, social a -rid economic value
which will far outweigh its dollar cost.
orrrani,Zational Structure
4'hc purpose of the administrative and service organ, ation of the
Iowa City Public Library is to effect the aims- objectives and policies
for library service to the community as formulated by the Board Of
Directors of the Public Library.
The building, in addition to its prime purpose as a center of direct
library service to the public, will also be the administrative and technical
processing headquarters for the libra--y system, and for future branches
and outreach services. Because of this the building should also provide
housing for book media vans and related office and storage space.
The organization of the library is Planned to be arranged by depart-
ation
ments according to function or activity, i.e, circulation, inform
children's services, outreach coLmmnity service, and technical processes
including the ordering, classification, and physical preparation of the
materials £or public use.
The structure of the orga•niza'tion is sw:1arized by the Table of Organ-
ded relationships of the separate functions

to the whole with respect to planning, direction, coordination and control.

effective service if it is to fulfill its P
standards Generally recc;amend a staff ratio - excluding maintenance
enployees - of one professional for two clerical employees. Recognizing.
the significant above average library use and unique population
character.lalcs of Iowa City 'the consultants would project a total library
staff (excluding maintenance) of 42 needed to rerVe a 19995 "desrtp:
population" of 70,000. This number was arrived at by a formula factoring
in national standards, average employee workloads tabulated by the annual
Nontgomery County (11D) Library survey and present and projected Iowa
City Public Library l::e, The space requirements for service and worI;
assignments for these 42 staff members have been considered in Section
III Functions and Area Space Requirements, .
The consultants have reviewed the present Table of Organization of
the library. They have also reviewed all of the personnel job descriptions
for each employee classification in the library. Particular job responsi-
bilities and duties have also been discussed ,rith principal staff members
and with the Library Director. As a result of our investigations and in
light of our experience with generally accepted library operations and
standards we are reconnending the creation of a new classification within
the library and also a new but not drastically different Table of
The new building should be able to adjust to staff changes
over the years, It is certain that periodic reorganizations tiril.l occur
to reflect both ch:!n,_-!n library technology and services and also the
unique and particular talents of staff members.
The new classification .recommended is that of "Principal Librarian"
with the edminiztraLive or wori.i.ng title of Assistant Director for Public
Service, Ile recommend further that the salary for this position be
established at a range 15s above that of the present Senior Librarian
classification, The estab].ichmer.t of such a position would better
coordinate all T)ublic service and free the Library Director from many
of the day to day interruptions, thus allowing more time for planning
and cormunity developmcntr and just as importantly, provide more time for
direct service concerns for the present department or division hearts. A
greater concentration on outreach and community extension services is
also projected in the recorzended Table of Organization which follows on
the next page.
It must be emphasized that the increase in staff projected in this
Frown is not dictated by the design of a new and larger building, but
rather by the projection of larger population and larger use. In fact
a new, more efficient building :rill result in more efficient service.
The history of other communities would indicate however that a new
library building generates from 20 to 30 per cent greater library use.
This factor plus increasing population requires ,eater staff. A new
well designed buildin will not by it:-,elf require additional staff.

II.t�F;CHITECTURAL, PHYSICAL AND AESTHLIIC REgUIREMMITS
P.. General T)esign Considerations
The modern public library is not a museum or cloister but is a
vital, ,,arm, outgoing information center inviting to the public, easy
to use and friendly in atmosphere. It should be designed on as open
a basis as possible with ,rails kept to a minimum and furniture as
uncluttered as possible, For that reason, it is recommended that
those building elements with the least likelihood of change be grouped
as much as possible to ensure as much freedom of change as is possible
in the remaining areas of the building. The plan of the proposed
building must represent the ultimate in flexibility so that it may
accommodate both the present and future service programs of the library.
Many people act almost as though they are in a private home when
they are in a library and the atmosphere should be that of a person
visiting the homme of an old friend, that is, one of relaxed friend–
liness mixed with respect for the property and desires of the host.
It would be no5t desirable to include within the design of the
building superior examples of art such as statuary, mosaics, etc.,
and provision for these should be jade in the design plans.
A libraiy build.ing should be designed to be used – not merely
-to be admired. For these reasons it is imperative that function
take precedence over des -57,. It is very possible to achieve a
modern functional library that is attractive and dramatic at the
sal. -'e time.
Because a modern library generates activity and noise careful
consideration must L•a Given to acoustical treatment throughout the
building. The Prog=-,' calls for special study and quiet areas but
the general area^. of -the building ;till be filled with noise and
activity and floor, call and ceiling materials, plus the mechanical
distribution system must be desi(-ncd with this in mind,
Tile ideal public libraY-j strl:cture in a city of the type and
size of Iowa City would be a one floor structure. With only one
level the transporting of books, other library materials and more
importantly, the case with which people nay circulate in and out of
various service and collections areas in the library is immensely
better than when services and materials are distributed on more than
one floor.
In some instances, either because of site restrictions such as
size or topography, or, in the final design considerations it becomes
necessary to use more than one level, the st_•ucture could evolve
into no more than two levels. If this occurs, great care must be
taken to make certain that whatever the decisions as to the number
of levels, the relative size of each level, and most importantly,
the f=ctiers relegated to a specific level, the result is the most
lori.cal and efficient for public service.
When the requirements proL-;l:<v ed in this document are considered
certain operating conclusions appear valid. They are: 1) the protean
indicates, basically an entire "op^n shelf" collection with public
access to -'Jirtllally all of the collection; 2) only linited areas in
both ntuiber and space needs lend the,nse.l.ves to a physical separation
from,, the rest of the areas; if two floors or levels are nccessaxy,
they reed not, in fact should not, be equal in size.
The design of the building should:
Be architecturally distinctive and e xpres'sive of
the character of the libroal, function;
Be identifiable as a library and set apart from
surrounding structures;
Be inv.'iting in approach with nininal setbachr or
impediments to easy access;
corcentrate all public services in priiiary sp-ce
and place all primary spat:(. on the ground .level
floor (if the site forces more than one floor ;
Provide internal spaces :which are easily adaptable
to changing service patterns and chance ng library
needs,

or signs must be designed and lighted in such a manner as to
assure easy legibility by passing traffic,
c. Parkina: Public parling, short-term and in sufficient

2. Interior Requirements
a. General:
-- The building nust confora to local building code and
standards for use as a public building. The specification.%
of the American Standards Association., 14aking Buildings and
Facilities Accessible to and Useable by the Physically
Handicanmd� A 117.1 — 1961 should be consulted.
-- The building should be designed on the module principle
and. no interior Load bearing walls will be accepted.
The module or bay spacing must be as large as the buri&ct will
allow and :mist tnkc into connice.r-atlon the standard library
shelving nodule of three feet. Colu:.,ns must be as few and
unobtrusive as no�;sible and certain areas (such as circulation,
lobby and neetini, roof:l) na;,- require free spans in excess of
regular building nodule selected.
Because of the requirement that all areas of the building
nust be able to contain portions of the library's collection
the floor loadint; requirement. throuC,Iiout the building is 1$0
pounds live load per square foot,
b, Electz:kcal Requirements:
-- Convenience outlets should be provided for standard
electrical equi_rmert; floor vacuums, scrubbers, polisher
I
,
clods, charms ng r..achinesmicroform readers audio-visual
equipment. Outlets away from walls and pillars should be
flush -floor mounted and capped.
-- F-Ijor equipment such as copy machines will require 220
volt service. This equipment must be located during final
electrical drawin;;s and the staff must be consulted for
e7act needs,
-- Underfloor duct such as Square D trench duct will be
required to circulation desk, media center, information
desk, adult information study area and circulation workroom,
The enact location of this duct system must be reviewed with
the staff,
c, Illumination Regulrenent•
--Prior to the enerF/ cr.isis library lighting, like virtually
all commercial liGntin
B, W=s steadily increasing in brightness
and foot candle power. This trend has now been reversed but
liahtin rex:ains one of the major concerns in library planning.
The requirements set forth below provide reasonable standards
within efficient energy dcrands. Task lighting is returning
as a light source and should be carefully considered in view
Of its advanta&_ s but care must be taken to also consider
its significant limitations in most library applications,
All llghUng selections must be carefully determined to
avoid glare at table and counter tops and to consider both
clay Ind ni_;irttime •ariatioss,
-- The lightinG level in the building should be as follows:
Readiru, areas - public and staff: a minimum
of 75 foot candles sustained at floor
level.
Closed boot: stacks, storage and non -
assigned spaces: a minimum of 50 foot
cand7.es, sustained at floor level.
-- Lighting fixtures in public areas should be of such type
and so arranged that light levels as requested can be achieved
reGardless of the arrangement of shelving and/or seating.
-- The number of CAfferent types of fixtures must be kept to
a ninimu_m and the ease of re -tubing must be a major consider-
ation in fixture selection.
-- Fluorescent fixtures providing uniform overall lighting
should be the primary light source. Special effect lighting,
incandescent dorm lightsl etc. should not be used except
with special approval of staff in .limited areas.
-- Plight lightin.- and emergency lighting systems should be
separate from General lighting -F ttern and switched separately.
The night lighting should provide for illumination at all
times the buildin, is closed to the public. This system
should also provide for safe staff egzess. (Exterior lights
are noted in previous section)
-- All General public areas of the building are to be
snitched from uanels at the circulation desk. No switches
are to be in l;cneral public areas. Individual rooms as called
for in this pro-rara shall have individual switching within
the room. The switching panel must be readily identified
allow variable light volume in each Major area and must r
Provide £or snitches other than circuit breakers.
-- liGh.Ung in specific storage areas and closed book stacks
may utilize task or boo]: stack lighting but this must be
reviewed and approved by the library staff.
d. mechanical Systems:
— Adequate air control and treatment is essential and all
systems usedheating and cooling, should have excellent
electrostatic filter and humidity control. The systems
selected must have 101, level operational noise and high
velocity systems are not desirable.
-- All temperature controls must be carefully located in
consideration of furniture and shelving placement and must be
either or locked or shielded type to prevent public adjust-
ment or tampering.
-- Ito license should be necessary for the operation of any

The libra 7 will require a complex public address system and
a separate telephone system serving both public and inter-

f, rlOo__ r Cove_in
-- A high e,^.:ade col^crcial carpet preferably wool or as an
alternative acrylic fiber, is strongly recommended for
virtually all public and staff areas,
-- A carpet allowance should be a part of the construction
budget of the library but the carpet should be bid as a

nest be pursued. The selection of all Materials and finishes
must be mode with the need for minimal maintenance needs
uppermost in mind. Painted surfaces or surfaces requiring
iaaxin,,, polishing, etc, must be kept to an absolute minimum.
llhile the se7.ecU of more permanent surfaced material may
add to the initial cont of the building their resistance to
vandalinn and reduction in periodic refinishing will cF.ctually
effect significant cost savings in the long run. Plastered,
painted surfaces in any public areas are not recommended.
h. Graphics/Sicniage•
-- Attractive, contemnora-y and very legible signage of
both directional and informational character should be an
intc,-xal part of the interior design. Graphics should be
incorporated into the interior design of all public areas
and a specific and coo_dinated sign and labeling system
should be integrated with the building graphics system.
i. Restrooms:
-- Public restrooms should be provided as follows: Adult
restrooms not arominently located but easily supervised.
Separate facilities, for r..seting rooms are not necessary but
unless the main public restrooms can be used from the meeting
room without allowin;; accass into the library proper
rep-ro.te reetin-. room restroomn should be provided.
Children's toilets should be provided in the children's room.
: taff toilets sho-old l,e located on each floor level to which
staff are assi[;ned. 1].acement of public restrooms should
result in easy access yet not interfere with libreay
activities,
-- Restroom finishes and equipment must be as vandal proof
and materials selected (ceramic tile) as conveniently
maintained as pcssible. Restroons should contain the
following:
Electric hand d:rYC -s
Vanity shelf or counter .with mirror
Parcel shelf and coat hooks
Women's restrooms should be eouippad t+ith a
coin operated sanitary napkin dispenser
floor drain

-- Tna required size of the building and the efficiencies
Of operation and cost of site may result in a tyro -floor
building. If that is the case the problems of public access,
movement of library materials and efficiency of staff ;ork
patterns ;ill require two elevators, one solely for staff
use and dcli;•ery and one for public and staff use. Under
no crcumstMces iz a book lift to be considered in lieu of
a personnel elevator,

ably in connection with restrooms. Fountains should be
electrically cooled and of two heights one for children
and wheelchair users and one for adults.
10. 17indows. Window treatment is a special design concern for a
multitude of reasons. Windows must be located to provide
both visibility into attractive, public activity areas of
the library thus oervin; as an attraction to the passing
public and also to provide visual relief to those inside the
building. Winnows selected, both in quantity and type must
be done so with heating and cooling costs and maintenance
and replacement costs in mind.

refuse area,
III. PUBLIC ARL; FU2CTIMS AND SPACE RsraUIREriE:.iTS
The public service and function areas described below are those
areas of the building open to the public in their use of library services
and resources. These areas with the possible exception of the Auditorium
should be considered as primary main floor :paces. Their arrangement
design and ease of access should encourage easy access to materials and
service. Daze to anticipated changing needs and service pattern the srace
should be as open as possible and divisions should generally be achieved
by use of furniture and shelving not by walls or partitions. In those
areas referred to as rooms partitions can be used but they must not be
load bearing. Some specific staff work areas and rooms are described in
this section and they relate directly to public service functions and
should therefore be considered as primary spaces.
A. Entrance Vestibule and Lobby (non -assignable)
Only one main entrance to the public service areas of the library
should be provided. Additional public entrances would create control
problems or require additional staff. However, emergency exits will
be required according to local building code. The entrance and exit
problem for the i;eetind room can be handled separately if it becomes
necessary to do so.
The main entrance, at ground level to eliminate steps, should be
placed as nearly as possible at the focal point of pedestrian arrival
at the building whether from public side -,,alk or librar; par}:ing area.
A double -door vestibule should be utilized to prevent drafts and
to reduce coolin;; and heat loss. The vestibule should provide:
1. clench
7. Boot rack
3. Public telephone
iF. Community bulletin board
5. Ilours of Service sign
6. Foot cleaning mats
7. Public 'lockers
8. Access to auditorium and meeting rooms

The inner lobby adjacent to the vestibule should provide space
for display cases, library directory board or stand and special
exhibit facilities, bench.
➢, Circulation Area and Workroom - 1,800 square feet
This area accommodates the book charging -return -registration
desk Which is the central point for visual control and physical super-
vision of the entrance and the immediate public service area. The
desk must be near the entrance but should not immediately confront the
patron. Traffic space about the desk must provide for free movement
of those patrons requiring desk service.
Space has been allocated in this area for the electronic booI:
detection system Moir in use and this equipment must be efficiently
planned for in the exit traffic design.
1. Circulation Desk Area - 700 square feet
All adult and juve::ile raterials will be charged and returned
at this desk. Adult re"istration will take place at this desk.
Childron, houpver, Will be reoistured ;within their oim department.
The circulation desk, the primary equipment item of the
area, ray be Procured in the essential component units as commer-
cially nanufac'tured by library equipment firms, or may be designed
by the architect to be constructed by a local cabinet firm. Cost
nay be low_!r if the letter method is utilized, but is not
36
permissible unless production level of local'£irn is of highest
quality. Des,; detailing should match millwork of building.
The actual design of the desk and its facilities should be
done jointly by the librarian and architect to make certain that
space is provided for all drai.ers, files, operations and supplies.
A 36" height is recommended but must be discussed with staff.
It is assumed in the neo: building that a transaction system
of book check-out will be used, either the existing system or one
similar to it. The circulation desk should be planned for such a
transaction system. The consultants recomumend that a computerized
charging system be investigated for use as soon as possible The
charging machine or device enployed - either electrically
operated filmer or a computerized system will require electrical
conduit.
The desk location must be carefully determined for ease of "1
access, exit control relationship with detection system and
efficient adequate work sm ce for staff. The desk must have
clearly defined and identifiable areas for:
-- two return stations
-- one rcgistration station for library cards
-- two charging or check-out stations
These station_, must be located to pernit easy traffic flow
with no obstruction o; ;citing lines. The return and registration
stations are best oriented to patrons entering the library and the
charUing stations to those lez- ing the library.
The desk should be located adjacent to the enclosed

It is assumed in the new building that a transaction system
of book check-out will be used, either the existing system or one
similar to it. The circulation desk should be planned for such a
transaction system. The consultants recoiLmend that a computerized

areas of the library and will provide for several important
functions. It is recommended to serve the dual functions of
circulation work and also media service. The workroom must be
located directly behind or adjacent to the circulation desk. It
should also be located immediately adjacent to the public audio-
visual and media service area of the library and it is reco;giized
that this dual requirement places some restrictions on the
architect but the efficient functioning of these services is
essential to the library.
All mterials charged out of the library will be returned
here for discharge, sorting and return to the shelves, In
addition, all overdues, reserve request items must be controlled
from this area. The media requironc.nts should be physically
separated. from 'the sorting and shelving flo:r of material so in
effect we are recommending several functions to be separate but
co -located without walls or partitions. The supervision of these
functions requires an enclosed office to allay privacy not only
for pernonnel wttLers but. for concerns dealing with overducs,
patron conplaintc, etc, which can be expected to arise in any
active e:ervice facility.

of a 150,000 volume collection. This inventory capacity figure of
117,000 is arrived at on the "oasis that at least0?
3 = of the fiction
and 20;L of the non-fiction is in circulation at any given time.
Shelving therefore will provide for 21,000 fiction and 96,000 non-
fiction volumes.
It is important that minimum design considerations be set forth
to enable the collection to be housed in such a manner as to provide
logical and easy access to the collection and to avoid a warehouse
look. For this Purpose the criteria listed below are strongly
reconmonded,
Aisles: Pain aisles should be five feet, side aisles should be
three feet,
Shelvinr_ Hei.aht: All general adult shelves shall be no more than
C4" in height,
Ra;,es: Shelving ran;;es composed of three foot sections should
never crceed 13' in length with 12' considered to be ideal.
Spacing of -helving ra175es should be at least 5' on center with
5'6"
spacing prc:fc_-red,
Arrnr.!a,mr-nt: To avoid inconvenience and confusion to user the
ranges should fol'.o:: a ].cgica, location pattern
a to enable a
sysiematic shelving of the collection and a logical numerical and
alphabetical sequel:ce of the mat^_rial. Grouping of rviges should
allot" for scatint; of eithera for; --:al or informal nature between
f
blocks of ranges to allow a reader easy access to a chair or table
and also to relieve the visual effect of too many shelving ranges
na:sed together,
A _portion of the general collection area may be designated as a
co::p7..oh':d by l;a u.ai;''atior: of
certain collection materials such as fiction, sewing patterns, uncataloged
paperbacks, etc, and should be designated at tis.:e of design development,
F. General Seating - 3,100
square feet

shelving ranges to provide for a total number of 100 readers divided
on a 2080 ratio between informal lounge type seating and formal table
seating. The approximately 80 readers at tables should be distributed
at a 2575 ratio bet;;een individual tables and four -place tables,
Provide four additional study typing rooms similar to those
specified in Information area,
G. Periodical Lound - 850 squaxe feet
This area will provide for the display oi' current issues of
approximately 500 periodical titles and for seating for 30 readers,
The periodicals should be displayed on sloping Periodical shelving

section is 36" wide and with five sloping silelves per seCt1CR Can
accor-r.,odate 15 to to titles per section face. Immediate back issues
(6 to 12 issues Per title) caul be stored behind eachsloping flip -up
display shelf. Other types Of periodical rli
tiplay and storage fixtu es
are also available and final selection should be made at the time of
furritur.: specification.
The seating, for 30 readers e:hould consist of three four -place
tables and lounge chairs for 18
readers,

circuit for ninimtmt of three vend -!ii.- machines.
P,00m should provide informal lounge seating for 8 persons with
several coffee tables,
I. Children's Room - 4,625 square feet
This is the major public service area that could be set apart from
other areas. Its location and the manner in which it is separated from
other public areas (glass is recommended) is important however in that
the children must be encoura.-ed to also use other areas of the library
and as they grow older learn the con�iete library services and materials
available to the.... 11hile children will register i:ere for their library
card all materials to be charged out of the children's collection will
be charged out and returned at the main circulation desk. Access to
and from the children's room via the circulation desk must be carefully
considered. Because of the frequent need to stove large groups of
children into the najor r..ceting noon it is hilly desirable to allow
a separate direct entrance into ratting room :roan the children's room
if both rooms are on the saxte level.
The room must provide for a variety of collection materials ,std
services and careful consideration must be given to the need for bright
and liveZf colors imaginative t,,achics and furniture and equipment of

J. meeting Rooms - 2,800 square feet
There exists a great need for public meeting space in Iowa City.
The library currently has many requsts for meeting room space for both
small and la -,,.e groups and meeting ::pace in the new library building
should be provided not only for direct library related programs but
also for the many civic croups who could use such space to make the
library the "iotin Hall" of Ic;;a City. As stated in a staff committee
report, "providing meeting .room space to facilitate educational,
cultural, recreational and informational activities is a valid and
important function of (a) public library".
51
The meeting room complex should be located in the building so
that it can be entered from the library proper (with a direct entrance
from the Children's Room if possible) and also from a separate entrance
which can be used when the libraiy is closed. Rest rooms must be
or av,dl lc to the me'tln.- r00n o, goat and hat facilities
should be in each room.
The components of the meeting room complex should be as follovt:
1. Iiajor meeting room - 2,000 square feet
Seating space for 180 persons on stacking chairs. Flat floor
to allow multi-purpose use of space. Room should be divinable into
two areas, not necessarily equal in size and design shape may
influence proportions of the division. A portable two-step stage
should be provided. The ceiling height must be sufficient to
allow ease of viewing films, slides, etc, and not restrict
viewing area.
The room nust include many special electrical connections.
Located at the front of the room should ba microphone inputs,
remote control jack for slides, remote control for projector on/ of£
switch, override light control switch, two large wall mounted
stereophonic speakers, monaural speakers for public address
yGtem.
J
The front of the room should be designed to allow multiple
projection on the wall surface itself. Side and rear walls should
contain hangar rails at 6' heicht for display purposes.
The room should have direct access to a 100 square foot storage
room for chairs and tables and to a separate room or alcove containing
a kitchen unit with sink and serving counter (Dwyer or similar).
It is very desirable, but not mandatory, that thA storage room also
be di-r:ctly accessible from the lobby described below,
52
f
2. Projection room - 100 square feet
This room should be located at the rear of the major meeting
room with direct access to the room and also with direct access to
a lobby or hall so that the room can be entered without having to
d_ntn_0 % iCB:a _❑ 0r i41; -howinJ• TI'e T00!:1 )lL)s't have R raiscA
floor to Provide for a Projection counter amu" above projection room
floor with a projection window 2" above the counter and 12" high by
48" wide. This window must be a minimum of 66" above the meeting
room floor, thus the projection room floor will be at least 28"
above the floor of the meeting room. In addition to this front
counter there should also be a connecting counter running along
the side of the projection room. This side counter will house the
sound system amplifier and switch (see appendix).
The projection room should house dimmer rheostat light switches
for the meeting room (with an on/off override at both the front
of the meeting room and at the entrance). There should be a small
wall mounted nonitor speaker in the projection room to check sound
levels in the meeting room. There should be a dimmer light switch
to control light level in the projection room itself.
The projection room should be on a separate heatindcooling
zone with neposate thermostat.
Electrical vire mold should be along the projection counters
and separate circuits should be provided for the amplifier/sound
systeae cued the projection equip.,ent.
3. Conference rooms - 500 square feet
Two separrte conference rooms, preferably square in share to
accommodate round tables -. o to be rzrt of the meeting room complex.
Each room.) should provide for. a !,in! mtnaof 12
persons at a table.
53
One wall of each room should contain a display chalk board and
display rails should be provided on at least two walls. Each room
should be entered off the lobby serving the major meeting room.
Within each room should be a sound speaker and a video nonitor,
e".�Ih 2;011cd f``fbn: a ^.ep=+i.".`o ,l' -`k c.t the am;llilfiLr and snitcher in
ti+e projection room.
It would be desirable if these two rooms, while sejL-)arate,
could be divided by a removable wall so that on occasion they could
become one large roots. However, it is imperative that when used
separately they have absolute sound separation and this requirement
may eliminate their possible use as one room.
4. 1•reeting room lobby - 200 square feet
The lame and small meeting rooms should be entered off a
public lobby which can also serve as an exhibit area. This lobby
should not only provide access to the public restrooms and direct
access; into the library circulation area but also provide alternative
direct access to the outside during the hours when the library is
closed. This may pose special problems in design due to the
probability of the raaeting rooms being located on another level
from the circulation axea and mates or semens may not adequately
direct a2ul control .library access. In the event double access is
nod; nos:cibl.� it• m+y 1'- mess='s`I to elirinate direct access to the
.library circulation entrance.
•'.00 sau re feet
public restrooms should be as unobbrut5ive as possible. Ideally
one set of public restroocs (with the exception of the single restroom
listed for children) would serve the library and meeting roams. If
the ,:-eting room ;Lose s problem results in SCT --rate areas not available
54
at a7.1 hours, sep,'rate restrooms for the meeting room complex and the
library may be necessary. It is the consultants experience that in the
majority of new public libraries the restrooms are larger than the need
requires. Careful review of local code requirements must be considered
in vici; of the no;- ally :min , =_l de : ,
,v.d for restroo;:w in a. li.Urary in
ralzctic❑ to th=:,7uarc of t!:e building.
The materials on the floor and walls of the restrooms should be
ceramic tile or sirnilzr hard glazed and easily maintained surface.
Each restroom should contain: required plumbing fixtures, floor dram,
mirrors, electric hand dr,/ers, shelf and coat hook units with rack for
books and briefcases. The women's restroom should provide for coin
operated sanitary napkin dispenser and disposal unit.
One handicapped stall rust be provided in each restroom.
L, Media Yrod.nction Room - 700 square feet
This is a separate room which ideally would be located in primary
public S,_-Pace adjacent to the Media desk, However, if the first floor
public -pace must be limited because of site or economic considerations
this room could be located in secondary space immediately and easily
accessible by public stair and elevator.
This room will be used by the public for the production of both
print and non-print m-erials, This will include taping cassettes
35mm slide production, laminati-g, duplicating, recording,etc,
The room will contain a series of counters with work stations for
a laminator, duplicator, folding nachine, collator, large type e t•
J P-
tixiter, and copy nachine. :-!-.ch of these stations will require a
senacatc electrical outlet. It would be highly desirable, but not
mandator; to have this room connect directly with the I4achinctiteproduction
room in the Technical processes area described below.'
55
Vor non -print slide and tape reproduction the room should contain
six work stations of approrinately 6' width along the walls. I'lire mold

CONSTRUCTION COST & FUNCTIONAL PHILOSOPHY
for a
PROPOSED PARKING FACILITY
Iowa City, Iowa
The construction cost figures and related information presented
herein are for your consideration in the development of the pro-
posed City parking facility in Iowa City. The information is
based upon recent projects of similar magnitude in or close to
Iowa City. The figures have been projected to reflect a March,
1977 bidding date.
For the purpose of comparison, we have chosen a 750 car facility,
3 bays wide, 300' - 0" long, with 4 levels of parking. The construc
tion cost figures are based upon a May 7, 1976 bid for a 750 car park-
ing facility for the University of Iowa. The final construction cost
for this facility was approximately $2700 per car.

Construction Cost &
Functional Philosophy
'
Proposed Parking Facility
Iowa City, Iowa
The following construction costs can be used for preliminary budget
purposes in Iowa City:
A. Typical Open Air Facility at Grade $2,900/car ±
'
An open air facility by code definition is a parking
facility with not less than
50 percent of the exterior
area of two or more sides open on each tier.
B. Facililty over a One Level Commercial Area $3,500/car ±
An open air facility with approximately two thirds of
the grade level devoted to potential commercial area.
(Few
cars, if any, will be parked on grade.)
'
C. Enclosed Facility Above Grade $3,400/car ±
An enclosed facility is one that will not meet the
definition of an "open air facility". This facility
will require air exchange equipment and a sprinkler
system.
'
D. Underground Facility $5,000/car ±
An underground facility is completely below grade ex-
cept for the top level. This facility is totally en-
closed and requires full mechanical
and fire prevention
systems and extensive excavation requirements along
with structural retaining walls.
'
These figures include a 10% construction cost contingency for design,
which with proper functional and engineering control, can be held
to a minimum.

Construction Cost &
Functional Philosophy
Proposed Parking Facility
Iowa City, Iowa
The cost figures are for a standard "self park" facility including
the design philosophy described herein. The facility has auto-
matic circulation, clear span construction, continuous ramps and
one way traffic. Passive security is also incorporated into the
facility with proper lighting and use of glass in pedestrian areas.
Items such as traffic flow, parking layout, site constraints, and
Physical configuration are directly related to parking efficiency.
A parking facility should have an efficiency of 310 to 320 square
feet per car. The efficiency is directly proportional to the cost
Per car. A facility with an efficiency of 340 square feet per car
Will cost approximately $200 per car more than a facility with an
efficiency of 320 square feet Per car.
Other features which increase the construction cost of a parking fa-
cilitY include:
A. Caisson Foundation System
B. Architectural Cladding or Finish

Construction Cost &
Functional Philosophy
Proposed Parking Facility
Iowa City, Iowa
In developing a parking facility with its features and the various
items which add to a basic facility, we must explore three or four
different alternatives keeping the basic parking philosophy in mind.
In addition to meeting the known program requirements, a constant
effort must be made to optimize the building dollar through efficient
design and proper material selection. A design balance must be
achieved between function, economics and aesthetics.
Throughout the design of the parking facility, the emphasis must be
placed on a design for the driver, not the car. The primary "people"
concern is for the user to feel safe and comfortable throughout the
flow cycle from access street, parking, destination and back onto the
street system. The concern is not how many spaces can be placed in a
given facility, but how many parkers will safely and comfortably use
the spaces provided.
■ Safety and comfort are complimented by providing a "self -park" facility
' with automatic circulation, clear span construction, continuous ramps
and one-way traffic. These permit the motorist to store and retrieve
ihis own car while providing freedom from the physical hazards and
psychological hesitance of parking between columns and facing oncoming
traffic. It also means quick, convenient and direct access to the
' first available parking space in a continuous manner and a well defined
traffic flow.
' -5-
CARL WALKER U6 ASSOCIATES, Ilic,
Construction Cost &
Functional Philosophy
Proposed Parking Facility
Iowa City, Ionia
Automatic circulation is achieved through continuous ramping and
one-way traffic flow. The inbound motorist should ascend on a
gentle sloping, continuous, one-way ramp with angle parking on
both sides of the ramp. Downbound circulation should be accomplished
in a sloping floor system with parking available on both sides.
An alternate is to provide express ramps without parking. The
final choice must be based on the parking demand, existing street
traffic patterns, average daily traffic (ADT) counts on the streets,
and site restraints.
Security is a very real and important design concern. Active
se-curity measures - those requiring human response - such as fixed or
moving guards, closed circuit T.V. and audio monitoring should be
' recognized as program requirements. Passive surveillance -
the environment which serves creating
to deter criminal acts - should be de-
signed through conscientious attention to controlled entrances,
' elimination of hiding places, adequate lighting and
and elevators. glass wall stairs

Operating cost should be minimized throw
ruse of minimal maintenance materials 9h the careful attention to the
Durable and crack -free concrete,
Positive drainage, long-lasting mercury vapor lights, light switching
sequences and corrosion free metals are important considerations.

CARL WALKER &ASSOCIATES, inC.
Construction Cost &
Functional Philosophy
Iowa City, Iowa
The facility should be appropriate in its aesthetic environment and
compliment the neighborhood while achieving its own identity. Mass-
ing and simplicity of the facility should always be considered.
Continuing the refinement process, precise drawings and specifications
must be developed to describe the facility for the construction pur-
poses and to assure economical and competitive bidding. The end re-
sult is an operational parking facility meeting the owner's require-
ments while providing a functional, economical and aesthetically pleas-
ing facility.

Dear Mr. Berlin:
Subject: IA 22_2
Iowa City, Iowa
Old Capitol Associates
Section 23 HAP Program
In letters dated December 16, 1975, and.January 9, 1976, our office outlined the
various- alternatives available to Old Capitol Associates pursuant to the nedtruc-
tion of the project. A deadline of January 23, 1976, was given to Old Capitol
Associates to provide us a feasible mortgage insurance application for the project.
They were not able to do this and on January 19, 1976, informed us that they had
filed an application to Washington for direct financing under Section 202.
In a letter dated February 4, 1976, we informed your City that its best chance for
getting more subsidized housing would be through the Section 8 Housing Assistance
Payments Program since the Section 23 Program had been discontinued.
We regret it was not possible to get this project to construction and would again
like to encourage your City to continue efforts, as it has in the past, to obtain.
housing under the Section 8 Program.
By this letter we are rescinding our "Notification of Application Approval" dated
April 2, 1975. The reserved Funds will be recaptured and your "Annual Contributions
Contract" with the Department for this project will be canceled. Funds expended for
expenses according to the terms of the ACC will not be affected by this recapture.

What .i,a all env.inonmentaf aevieto tecohd and why do we have to maintain .them?
An environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement (lils)
is a report resulting from a thorough critiqueing of a project's relation-
ship to its environment. The environmental review process records, for the
"executive officer -- CDBG applicant," the decision making steps which lead
to the "level of clearance" decision (determination of whether an environ-
mental assessment or EIS is required), and documents all studies and
considerations carried out to comply with the Federal environmental
requirements. In Iowa City, Federally funded projects are currently being
planned to improve the living environment of low and moderate income residents.
'hese projects are funded udder the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974 (IICDA) through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG). Like most
federal actions or legislation, this act must comply with the National
lnvironmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) and environmental reviews must be
completed. In CDBG the responsibility has been passed down to city level, and
in Iowa City Neal Berlin, as City Manager and chief executive officer, when
accepting the grant,assured federal officials that all CDBG programs,and
their effect on the environment,would be monitored.
17ne review is a detailed report evaluating thoroughly all impacts --
beneficial vs. adverse, short -tern vs. long-term, direct vs. indirect,
social, physical, and aesthetic -- a project will place on its environment.
The procedures can be carried out in unison with the project plans by
documenting all issues considered and the sources of data on which decisions
were made -- after all, good planning of a project would include consideration
of all environmental issues -- or the environmental review can be looked on
as an extraneous burden requiring massive infusion of time and effort. Even
though project directors develop project plans to the best of their ability,
the critiquing process of the environmental review process may uncover an
overlooked adverse impact that might be minimized if planned for properly.
The environmental review process provides procedures for critiquing the
project's design by evaluating its relationship to the environment.

By Ken Dzugan
Cities across the country are strug-
gling with the environmental assess-
ment and environmental impact
statement responsibilities delegated
to them under the community devel-
opment block grant program. For
many, It's a first attempt to grapple
with the National Environmental
Policy Act.
Indications are that one of the
biggest problem areas for small and
medium sized cities is adequate doc-
umentation of findings for proposed
projects, especially when a finding is
that the project presents no signifi.
cant environmental problem. An-
other difficult area is in developing
adequate alternatives. Still another
is dealing with specific environ-
mental issues such as noise impacts,
degradation of air and water qual-
ity which couldresultfrom a proj-
ect and infringement on historic
environments.
If any of the above sounds famil-
iar, read on.
St. Paul, - Minnesota, has devel-
oped an environmental assess t

of the decisions and procedures, as ni
well as the documentation itself, of
offer detailed guidance to other as
planners in dealing with the envi-
ronmental review process. This ar- e
ticle describes the environmental a
assessment process developed by St. -r
Paul.
The pupulntion of St. Paul is ia
about 300,000. The city's CD hold c
harmless allocation currently is al- i
most $19 million, and it is scheduled
to decrease to about $4 million by I
1980. The major activities of the
city using its CD funds are physical
development, human services and
economic development.
Early this year, St. Paul was chos-
en by the Chicago HUD regional
office as one of the sample of cities.
to be audited under the CD program.
The HUD area office stated that in
St. Paul "one of the most outstand-
ing areas of performance has been
in the environmental review proc-
ess. Documentation was well orga
nized and reviews reflect a high de-
gree of professionalism." The audi-
tor said that the city's environment-
al records were the most complete
she had seen.
HUD regulations.. Th a Corn-munity De-
velopment Act of 1974 authorized
HUD to delegate to local govern-
ments its responsibilities for envi-
ronmental review of projects pro-
posed under the program. As a re
suit, HUD has given little guidance
on the subject of CD environmental
reviews, and it is maintaining a dis-
tance as .well. However, HUD must
have on file an acceptable environ-
mental certification before releasing
funds for a given project. Before
funds to go ahead can be released,.
the assessment must conclude that
any given project will not signifi-
cantly affect the environment.
HUD's guidelines can be sum-
marized as follows. An environment-
al impact statement (EIS) is re-
quired when a project is an action
which may significantly affect the
environment. This was further de-
fined as being projects involving 500
or more dwelling units and water
and sewer projects which would
serve 100 acres or more of currently
undeveloped land.
For. projects determined neither
to have a significant impact on the
environment nor to be of sufficient
size, an environmental assessment
will suffice.
so determines the degree of sig-
ficance of the impacts. The result

to whether an EIS is required.
An EiS is a detailed study of the
nvironmental impacts of a project,
lternatives to it and methods for
—
educing adverse imPActa. '
The environmental review process
the complete process which In-
ludes the assessment and, where
mpacts are significant, the EIS. -
The vague guidelines offered by
IUD for CD environmental reviews
did not seem sufficient to us as a
basis for regular operation In St.
Paul. The city planning office held
conversations with HUD officials to
gain further insights. Also, we re-
ferred to the state environmental
policy act and the state pollution
control agency regulations, under
which the city must operate as well.
As a result, St. Paul's own guide-
lines can be summarized as follows.
If n project is not in violation of
the more specific HUD 'internal
guidelines issued in 1971 providing
for the agency's compliance with
NEPA (HUD Circular 1390.1), nor
does it violate either state program's
criteria, it can be considered to have
no significant environmental impact.
scope of review. City policy: was to
limit any projects for first year CD
funding which would require an
EIS. This was done for two reasons.

HUD must have an

before releasing funds.
An EIS requires substantially more
time than an assessment, and the
time requirements would have de-
layed funding of any such project
for nearly the first full year of CD.
Also, we were hesitant to get in-
volved in two different newenviron-
mental procedures, assessment and
the EIS, at once. Thus, .we elim-
inated any projects from proposed
first year funding which appeared
-
to have potential severe adverse en-
vironmental consequences or to re-
quire an EIS.
Also, to expedite our funding, we
took advantage of the flexibility
HUD offered to review projects sep-
arately or as groups of related proj-
ects. We chose the lutter. It is im-
portant to assess each project chos-

The above list appears on a sheet
called CD project environmental re-
view check list. It is, in effect, a
master key to each project file. As
an action is taken and the appropri-
ate memo or report filed, the check-
list is marked. At all limes, it pro-
vides the staff with it current indica-
tion of the status of review of any -
given project.
The CDE-1 form really is it de-
tailed memo, and it is prepared by
the operating agency in charge of
the proposed project. It is the real
starting point for the environmental
assessment process. it is published
here.
The matrix of environmental pa-
rameters is another type of check-
list, and it is a major tool used by
the planning staff to check and co-
ordinate the rest of the documenta-
fire, health, public transit and social, fraternal facili-
ties and programs serving the site and area. Describe
the facilities, location, responsible body and the rela-
tion of capacity to existing demand for the facilities.

ment patterns?
e. Describe the social characterof the project site,
project neighborhood, and general planning district.
Describe socioeconomic and racial and ethnic charac-
teristics of the site and neighborhood. What are the
income levels, employment rates, and educational char-
acteristics of the general planning district?
f. Describe the social characteristics of the project site
at completion. -
g. What differences kill occur in the socioeconomic
characteristics of the population of the project site
upon completion of the project?

probably were not the most qualified
to do so. A decision was made to en-
list the aid of the operating agencies
and the CDE-1 form is filled out by
them. The noise review and the his-
toric review are conducted by the
Planning office.
The simplest way to display initial
information for assessing these im-
pacts was to have the St. Paul hous-
ing and redevelopment authority
prepare a mylar overlay showing
project areas. Thin was superim-
posed on maps of historically or ar-
chitecturally significant sites and on
maps of possible noise impacted
areas. The overlay. also served to
identify those projects which had
contiguous or overlapping boun-
daries. Thus, it also identified those
projects for which interproject ef-
fects should be considered.
The map of historic sitrs was pre-
pared by planning staff using sites
on the National Registry of Historic
Places, a list of historic places pre-
pared by the Minnesota Historical
Society and a list previously pre-
pared from city surveys. This was

Using the map with the overlay pro-
vided immediate Identification of
projects which might impact his-
toric sites. Also it allowed us to de-
termine that all other projects would
not impact historic sites.
Noise. The work to identify noise
impacted project areas was neces-
sary because both HUD and the
Minnesota pollution control agency
have regulations for allowable noise
levels based on types of land use.
The HUD standards identify the
following categories of noise accept-
ability: acceptable, discretionary
and unacceptable. Within discretion-
ary there are normally acceptable
and normally unacceptable.
Few noise measurements were
available in the project'areas, but
fortunately HUD did have guidance
available. It provided help in pre-
liminary identification of noise im-
pacted zones due to aircraft, rail-
ways and roadways. Maps were pre-
pared of the noise impacted areas
for each of the categories to use
with the project areas overlay. A
substantial part of St. Paul is in
noise zones labeled unacceptable or.
discretionary/ normally unaccepta-
ble. Field surveys using a noise me-
ter demonstrated that for St. Paul
the HUD noise assessmentguide
lines substantially overpredicted the
size of the noise impacted -zones.
Through our surveys; the size of the
noise impacted zones was reduced:
The noise maps were used In -con-
junction with the project areas-over-
Jay
reasover-
lay to identify projects both in and
out of noise impacted areas.
Information gathering. The most effec-
tive method for -information gather-
ing proved to be meetings with
groups of project administrators to
describe the process and to answer
questions. This method developed

and, of course,' far less follow upsa

able to provide excellent background
information on the project and`ex-
isting environmental conditions
through the CDE-1 form. The iden-
tification of impacts and the discus-
sion of alternatives was'farless `suc-
cessful. This was due to the fact that
the operating departments- were

The Iowa City City Council met in informal session on
the 12th day of July, 1976, at 1:30 P.M. in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Councilmembers present were:

think the Director and the Board had demonstrated capability
of doing this. The problems countywide, the six-month proba-
tion, the relationship with other agencies, and the qualifi-
cations for the counselors were items discussed. Additional
information concerning funding from United Way was requested.
The City Manager noted that the contract should be made con-
tingent on the fact that they will not expand their role.
Councilman Balmer asked for the City Manager's recommenda-

Council Discussion
July 12, 1976
Councilman Selzer voiced concern over the -Ana pection of
single family dwellings, stating that he was not in fa of
doing this. Mayor Neuhauser explained the connection with the
rehabilitation program, Councilmen Vevera and Balmer agreed
that the City is imposing on citizen's rights and noted they
would not let inspectors in their private homes.The City
Manager stated that previous Councils have beat the Staff over
the head to get this housing inspection program going; it is
not something started overnight. It was suggested that the
Housing Coordinator, Lyle Seydel,come and explain why the City
got into the program. The inspectors have already been hired.
The City Manager outlined the procedure now used, noting
that after inspection of the home, a letter goes to the residents
explaining the deficiencies, if any, asking if the resident needs
any additional assistnace, then the matter is dropped. So there
are two results, (1) the person will be aware of the deficiency
and (2) the City is aware, and when the rehabilitation program
is developed, there will be a way to correct the deficiencies.
Councilwoman deProsse asked if the parking permit fee in
all parking lots was $10. The City Manager responded that it
was, and explained the reason for the discount for city employees.
When the lot was established, parking for employees was free.
A compromise by a previous Council set it at $5.00. As it is
not a part of the personnel rules or the labor contract, deProsse
and Neuhauser suggested that it be a negotiated item. Selzer
agreed. Councilwoman deProsse questioned taking 40% of the library
lot for employees. The City Manager said he would check the
Proposed usage. Council decided to look at the whole policy for
parking lots, and the City Manager commented that thb finance
department was working on:a revision of the parking policy, which
has to be done in conjunction with urban renewal because of the
discussion on peripheral parking.
City Manager Berlin pointed out two items concerning the
agenda: (1) the revised Storm water Management Ordinance is be-
ing changed by the legal department, and will be distributed later,
and (2) there is a change in the contract with the rehab consult-
ant to add the Equal Opportunity.
Councilman Selzer questioned how the amount of material was
determined for the slab -jacking Program. The City Manager agreed
that it was bid on a per unit basis.
Councilman Vevera stated that concerning establishment of
calendar parking in 400 Block of E. Fairchild. the recommenda-
tion to PSZ to require two stalls of off-street parking for the
new multi -unit apartments, would probably be all right, but as
most of the cars that cause the parking problem belong to students

in the dorms, he resented the fact that the University was
allowed to build a new building to house 100 people but did
not provide one parking space, but a private individual would'
have to furnish parking stalls. Councilwoman deProsse agreed
the City should force the University to accommodate parking.
The City Manager agreed, and noted that if the University is
not in a position to provide long term parking, it may be
necessary for the City to deal in a rather striking way with
a change in policy for long-term parking, because if the City
waits for the University, it would be 20 years from now. He
agreed with Public Works, you can't deal with this problem
independently; it has to be incorporated in the whole question
of the parking policy.
Councilwoman deProsse commented on the memo from Glaves
concerning the proposed building in the urban renewal area, and
asked if the Council had any legal authority to stop or enforce
esthetic considerations. Councilman Selzer asked to see the
plat. The City Manager pointed out that there was no basis on
which to withhold the building permit. Councilwoman deProsse
asked that Council's extreme disappointment be expressed to
the developer. Community Development Director Kraft advised
that the excavating had begun. It was suggested that the prop-
erty be condemned and included in the urban renewal project.
Councilman Balmer suggested clarifying the Policy for
Sunday Salee beer and liquor permits. After discussion, the
consensus of the Council was to allow Sunday Sales Beer and
Liquor permits for businesses with previous acceptable track
records, and to allow the new applications for restaurants, but
if the new business is a bar and will not serve meal's from a
menu, the applicant will have to prove, after a 90 -day period,
that the sale of goods and services other than alcoholic liquor
or beer does constitute fifty percent or more -of the gross re-
ceipts from the licensed premises.
Concerning the installation of the traffic signal at Mel-
rose/woolf, Councilman Balmer asked if the University could
require the City to widen the street. He was advised that they
could not. A left turn was suggested.
Councilman Perret called attention to the problems with
the left turning signal lights on Burlington Street and with
the synchronization o se signals. T e City Manager pointed
out that the segments had been synchronized and the walk signal
segment had been increased last week. He stated that the Public
Works Dept. would write a memo on the changes.
Councilman Perret questioned whose responsibility it was
to clear cleayo_rts from the Iowyer, specifically under the
Crandic Bridge. The City Manager stated he would investi.gat�_

URBAN RENEWAL
City Manaaerr Berlin gave a rundown on what has happened
since the last Council meeting.
1. The Urban Renewal Plan has been revised and distributed,
incorporating Council's changes.
2. Concerning the land marketing material sent in June,
the parking report has been distributed. The parking
locations, peripheral parking and phasing of construc-
tion becomes critical as Council makes marketing deci-
sions, and staff moves into preparation of marketing
documents.
3. The program for the library was presented Friday; site
detail by next Friday.
cJdekly
4. Correspondence to HUD concerning senior citizen hous-
inj sent by the Mayor. A letter was received back
saying that HUD had recaptured the 62 units. There
is still a major question concerning the economic
feasibility of housing; there are three possibilities
including non-profit corporation, land write-down, and
public housing.
5. Housing generally. There is no reason to believe that
it is not feasible privately; and could be pushed up
on our target date and expedited as soon as possible;
a marketing consultant would be used to develop the
housing program.
6. Staff has given thought to the additional staffing for
the urban renewal program,, after Council makes the
marketing decisions. There will be three phases=
(1) coordination of the planning, in-house, (2) general
administrative matters and, (3) marketing, with con-
sultant. Additional staff includes a coordinator,
a 1/2 person in administrative work, and taking 1/2
of the time of one legal person.
7. Concerning streets, the final decision is related to
marketing decisions the Council will make. They are
investigating the question of closing of the two blocks
of College Street between Clinton & Linn; Washington
Street between Clinton and Madison, with emphasis on
transit and pedestrian traffic in that area; possi-
bility that Clinton and Dubuque being integrated as

gested phasing the marketing. Councilman Balmer commented
that the City will never get the tax base if the property is
marketed in parcels, and that the people downtown are waiting
for Council to make a decision. Mayor Neuhauser commented that
the problems of utilities, public improvements, closing of
streets, changes of traffic have to be dealt with before the
Property is marketed so the people will know what they are
buying.

Redevelopment G8044 -i- . Glaves pointed out that the staff
had left in the revised plan all the street closings, and if
Council wanted to remove them all, it could be done. The Mayor
stated that the Council must grapple with the problem right now.
Councilwoman deProsse commented that this should be based on
traffic circulation studies as recommended by our Public works
Dept. Councilman Perret favored at least two developers on the
north side of Burlington, 83 and 84 a single parcel, and 64 and
65 either separately or together. Councilman Vevera saw Blocks
83-84 and 65 as one parcel and 1/2 of Block 64 as one parcel,
but did not want the library on urban renewal land, as it would
not add to the

ed separately, and if they do, what to do with the street. The
consensus was to consider Block 93 and the west 1/2 of Block 101
and the street as one parcel.
It was pointed out that the library would use at least 1/2
block and the parking for 600 cars would use 1/4 block. Council-
man Selzer agreed he did not want to consider the Libre_ry on
urban renewal property and suggested Block 63, south of the alley.
Councilman Perret favored the library in downtown commercial
area along with housing the open space. The City Manager stated
that the City would have to buy the property -- Block 63. Use
of street to build on was discussed, and use for the old Library.
Selzer envisioned the library on Block 63, parking on Block 64
with skyway between. Glaves questioned what use the Council con-
templated for the NE 1/4 of Block 64. It was stated that it
could be parking area for that portion of the commercial area.
Councilman Selzer concurred with Councilman Balmer to put
out a single package north of Burlington, allowing the developer
to use skill and expertise to give the City options and the best
plan he can, the City outlining the elements they want involved
in the program and phasing the redevelopment. Councilman Balmer
asked at what point a new Environmental Impact Statement and the
Lard Use Marketing Study would have to be done. Glaves advised
th-at he was not concerned south of Burlington because when the
assAssme;:t and review are done, the point to watch out for is

traffic flow and where concentration of emissions are going
to be. Selzer suggested not modifying the EIS that has already
been Court -tested, and noted that he was bothered because Plaza
Centre One design was based upon the intersection being pedes-
trian oriented and the focal point.
The City Manager asked if there was a consensus to market
Blocks 83 and 84 jointly. Councilman Foster was not in favor,
Councilwoman deProsse did not want one developer for prime
land, Councilman Perret was in favor. Glaves pointed out that
concerning the reappraisals, the Staff has to know: (1) single
developer or otherwise, and (2) library east or west of Linn
St. It was suggested that the consultant advise the Council.
Glaves explained the type of persons being interviewed for
consultant. The time -frame was suggested as September for an-
swers from consultant, discussion by Council and January for
the reappraisals. Councilman Vevera pointed out that the Council
was no closer together and there was no consensus for staff
direction. The City Manager agreed that the Council had lost
ground today. He was concerned because he sensed that the Council
was broadening the scope for the consultant. He asked for direc-
tion concerning the land south of Burlington Street. Council
agreed to sell as soon as possible. Glaves advised he would put
out competitive bids noting that the appraisals have been started.
Council discussed their obligation to Iowa State Bank & Trust
concerning relocation. It was pointed out that the tenants in
the Clinton Mall will still have to be relocated. It was the
consensus of the Council that land marketing documents be put
together, and a pre-bid conference held so all will understand.
City Manager Berlin stated that there was no way to close
Clinton Street, and Councilwoman deProsse and Councilman Vevera
agreed. Previous Council considerations concerning the single
developer concept were discussed. The City Manager summarized
his direction as to proceed with the bank, extend time -frame
for consultant as the scope had been broadened, and to proceed
with housing. Meeting adjourned, 4:30 P.M.
