Chairman Ogesen explained that the subject request had been discussed at
the August 5, 1976 Pf,Z Commission meeting and that residents of the area
had expressed concern about the subdivision's impact on Ernest Horn School
and the effect apartments and duplexes would have on -the single family.
residential neighborhood. Chairman Ogesen noted that attempts were made
by the Staff to meet with the School Board to discuss the adequacy of
elementary schools in the southwest area of Iowa City. Don Schmeiser, Senior
Planner, indicated that the Superintendent of Schools appeared very sympathetic
and appreciative of being kept informed about PF,Z concerns but he did not
feel it was essential that the Commission meet with the School Board:
Chairman Ogesen explained that residents of the area had met with the applicant
and agreed to a revised proposal. Because the revised plan is substantially
different than what was originally requested, Chairman Ogesen explained that
thePU Commission would initiate rezoning some of the parcels according
to the revised zoning scheme. ,
Commissioner Jakobsen complimented the area residents and the developer for
arriving at an agreement. Dennis Saeugiing, Engineer, expressed appreciation
for the neighborhood input and cooperation.
A motion was made by Kammermeyer, seconded by Lehman, to recommend that the
Planning and Zoning Commission initiate the rezoning of Parcel l from R1A

Z-7611. Application submitted by Heritage Systems, Scott Barker, Attorney,.
for rezoning a tract of land, R3A to PC. Located on 800 block of West Benton
Street across the street and slightly east of Seville.Apartments. Date.filed:
7/26/76. 45 -day limitation: 9/9/76.
Chairman Ogesen briefly explained the intent of a PC (Planned Commercial) Zone
and noted that the subject request would provide for a neighborhood shopping
center oriented to pedestrians.
Margaret Bonney, 1021 Wylde Green Road, expressed opposition to the request
and stated that it would be unwise to locate a commercial establishment next
to the Roosevelt Elementary School. She said that a neighborhood shopping..
center in the subject location would create another problem for the school
and that the "children should come first".
Chairman Ogesen stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission was concerned
about a potential increase in traffic next to the school and had discussed
a need for some type of traffic and pedestrian control.
Mr. 0. Gingerich, owner of property directly east of the subject property,
objected to the proposed development for the following reasons: (1) the
property surrounding the area is almost completely developed and it would
seem improper to change the zoning, (2) the shopping center would generate
much auto traffic, and (3) the shopping center would adversely affect bicycle
0 0
-s-
traffic and school age children walking to and from school.
Mr. Lance Levis, 1015 West Benton, representing his.father who owns property
to the west of the subject property, objected to the proposed development for
the following reasons:
(1) The development would increase traffic, create more noise in the
neighborhood, increase pedestrian traffic across their property,
and possibly increase vandalism.
(2) The developer plans a 30' access on to the driveway that now serves
as a back parking lot for Hillsboro Apartments.
(3) The planting of five trees would not provide an adequate buffer.
(4) A more definite statement is needed as to what kind of shops would
be permitted, and
(5) 7 -Eleven Food Stores are prone to robberies.
Mr. Francis Hamit, commercial real estate broker for the proposed center,
stated that an independent marketing survey indicated that many people in
the subject area felt the center would be a valuable addition to the
neighborhood. The project, he said, would be a quality project of 'unique
design and appearance and would provide people on the west side of town
a place to shop for their everyday needs without having to drive or ride
across town.
Ms. Vicki Hughes, 905 W. Benton, objected to the proposal and expressed
concern about traffic and the elderly, and stated that 7 -Eleven Food Stores
are not competitive as far as prices are concerned. John 'Jack' Doyle,
1135 Wylde Green Road, also expressed opposition to the proposed development.
Chairman Ogesen encouraged the neighbors to meet with Mr. Hamit and indicated
that he would prefer deferral of the request until Commissioners had an
opportunity to further consider the information and until a full Commission
could be present.
A motion was made by Lehman, seconded by Kammermeyer, to defer until the
next PU Commission meeting consideration of Z=7611,application submitted
by Heritage Systems for rezoning a tract of land, R3A to PC, located on
the 800 block of West Benton Street.across the street and slightly east of
Seville Apartments.
Commissioner Kammermeyer stated that the proposed plan is a very nice proposal
but he would prefer another location. Commissioners Kammermeyer and' Lehman
expressed reservations about the potential impact on 'West Benton Street
traffic, pedestrian traffic and Roosevelt School. Commissioner Jakobsen
indicated that she wished further information regarding how the center
might fit in with the previous comprehensive plan for the area.
The motion for deferral carried unanimously.

Development (LSNRD), submitted by Heritage Systems, Scott Barker, Attorney.

A motion was made by Jakobsen, seconded by Kammermeyer, to defer until the
next PF,Z Commission meeting consideration of 5-7622, Heritage Square, a
Planned Commercial (PC), Large Scale Non -Residential Development (LSNRD),
submitted by Heritage Systems. The motion carried unanimously.
S-7623. Village Green South, preliminary plat, submitted by Village Green
South, Inc., Charles A. Mullen, Attorney. Located cast of Dover Street and
south of Parkview and extends south to Rock Island RR R.O.W. Date filed:
8/3/76. 45 -day limitation: 9/17/76.
Commissioners suggested the desirability of providing additional land
(approximately 100' instead of 40') for a buffer. Dick McCreedy and
Jerry Hilgenberg, applicants, expressed concern that the increased amount
of open space would present a financial hardship.
Mr. Schmeiser questioned whether it would be legally possible to deny a
preliminary plat on the basis of inadequate green space. He pointed out
that the open space area would be maintained by the City's Parks and
Recreation Department and he suggested the advisability of receiving
comments from the Parks and Recreation Commission regarding the proposed
development.
A motion was made by Kammermeyer, seconded by Lehman, to defer consideration
of S-7623, Village Green South, preliminary plat, submitted by Village Green
South, Inc., located east of Dover Street and south of Parkview and extending
south to the Rock Island RR R.O.W., and to refer the subject request to the
Parks and Recreation Commission for their review and comment. The motion
carried unanimously.
Comprehensive Plan Items:
1. A resolution adopting a Tree Planting Plan as an element of the Compre-
hensive Plan of Iowa City, Iowa.
2. An ordinance creating Section 8.10.40 of the Municipal Code of Iowa
City, Iowa, which would establish regulations for the planting and
preservation of trees.
3. An ordinance establishing additional powers for the Board of Adjustment
so that they may adjudicate appeals relating to tree regulations.
4. An ordinance repealing sections of the Forestry Ordinance (3.38) and
amending same in order to make consistent the requirements for the
placement of trees in the Forestry Ordinance (3.38) and the Zoning

6. Glenn Siders, Building Inspector, City of Iowa City.

Following are
Plan: some of the reasons given for objecting to the Tree Planting
I. The proposed Tree Ordinance would add to the cost
administration costs. of lots and increase
2. Trees, planted as proposed, may not provide shade for houses.
3- People who want trees will plant them.
4- Requiring people to plant trees is an infringement on personal freedom.
5. If the City wants trees planted, the City should provide trees at a
low cost to new homeowners.
6. If trees are planted according to a specific plan, they will look
"stereo -typed".
Mr. McCreedy asked if the City Forester supported the Tree Planting Plan and
Ordinance. Mr. Rick Geshwiler, Senior Planner, stated that the City Forester
felt the City should not require private property owners to plant trees.
Mr. Geshwiler indicated that the Ordinance could be enforced with minimal
addedeffort by City Staff and would allow homeowners a wide range of choices
of trees. The Ordinance, he said, would help encourage ecological diversity
and a better balanced ecosystem, would help remove dust from the air, cool
.
homes in the summer and improve the visual environment.
Glenn Siders, Building Inspector, questioned who would enforce the Ordinance.
Mr. Geshwiler, explained that enforcement would be the responsibility of the
Public Works Department and the details would be worked out administratively.
Carol McCrone, 1223 Seymour, expressed appreciation for the proposed Tree "
Planting Plan and Ordinance and urged the Commission's favorable consideration.
After further discussion, a motion was made by Kammermeyer, seconded by
Section 8.10.40 recommend
the to the
Municipal Code Co ncilOf approval of an Ordinance creating
regulations for the Alantin and y, Iowa, which would establish
Planting preservation of trees.
Commissioner Kammermeyer stated that he would vote against the motion and
said he felt the Ordinance would be an infringement on the personalrights
and activities of the homeowner. Attached to these minutes is a statement
concerning Commissioner Kammermeyer's vote.
Commissioner Lehman said he would also vote against the motion and stated
that single family home requirements would only speed up by a year or two

Chairman Ogesen stated that he favored requiring tree plantings in large
parking lots but would prefer to exclude single family homes and small parking
0
lots from regulation. In its present form, he said, the Ordinance is
nearly unworkable and unenforceable.
Commissioner Jakobsen stated that site would vote in favor of the motion.
She said that many individuals do not plant enough trees and termed the
Ordinance a first step in the right direction. Problems can be worked out
and/or the Ordinance could be amended, she said.
The motion failed to carry by a 1-3 vote (Jakobsen voted in favor of the
motion; Ogesen, Lehman and Kammermeyer voted against the motion).
A motion was made by Kammermeyer, seconded by Lehman, to recommend adoption
of the Tree Planting Plan as an element of the Comprehensive Plan of Iowa
City, Iowa. The motion failed to carry by a 1-3 vote (Jakobsen voted in

The motion failed to carry by a 1.-3 vote (Jakobsen voted in favor of the
motion; Ogesen, Lehman and Kammermeyer voted against the motion).
Consideration of proposed ordinance establishing requirements for subdividing
lots into two parcels.
Mr. Ed Lucas, attorney, objected to the proposed ordinance for the following
reasons:
1. The proposed ordinance would hurt innocent people and would not "catch
the big guy",
2. Home Rule provisions do not give authority to the City to implement such
an ordinance, and
3. The ordinance needs additional legal staff review.
Mr. Irving Pfab, representative of American Home and Land Corporation, said
that if the City is to control development within its boundaries, the
proposal would seem to have some merit and should be seriously considered.
A motion was made by Kammermeyer, seconded by Lehman, to defer consideration
of a proposed ordinance establishing requirements for subdividing lots into
two parcels and to request an opinion from the Legal Staff as to whether the
City has the authority to implement such an ordinance. The motion carried
unanimously.
The meeting adjourned.

A STATMENT CONCERNING Y.Y VOTE ON 7 E_
TREE PLANNING ORDINANCE
John Kammermeyer
I am reluctantly voting no on the presently proposed Tree Planning Ordinance.
I basically am in favor of an ordinance encouraging or requiring tree planning,
especially around apartment and commercial developments and in parking lot areas.
However, I cannot support the present ordinance as it is written.
Firstly, concerning individual family residences, I feel that the presently
Proposed ordinance is too demanding and restrictive and would in some instances
Place an undue burden on the individual home owner. Based on the present require-
ments and formulation in the ordinance, the average single family dwelling would
be required to plant four to five trees on the lot and the average corner lot
would be required to have anywhere from six to ten trees. This is certainly more
trees than many people would desire on their individual lot and works an undue
hardship on corner lots. In addition, I feel this is an unnecessary infringement
on personal rights and activities of the individual home owner. There also is a
problem concerning the individual who owns a lot which is zoned for single family
residence and has woods on it, but who is not planning to build on that lot. Even
though there are many more trees on the lot than would be required by the ordinance
he would be unable to trim down any of the excess trees for personal reasons with-
out first obtaining a building permit. In summary I think the provisions as
applied to individual residences are unnecessarily restrictive, tend to infringe on
personal rights and freedoms, and would be difficult at best to enforce. I personally
feel that we should either eliminate single family residences from the ordinance, as
in the vast majority of cases home owners do plant more than adequate tree cover, or
have some very simple requirements perhaps similar to FHA standards which would
require a minimum number such as two or three trees
single family dwelling lot. to be planted on any private
Secondly, concerning apartment and commercial developments, I bascially am in
favor of tree planting requirements for apartment and commercial developments as
well as large parking areas such as is outlined in this proposed ordinance. However,
the requirements as they now stand in this ordinance would work an undue hardship
on very small apartment developments and also small business establishments, and
might make it difficult for these small apartment or commercial developments to
have adequate parking space on their land and also meet the tree planting requirements.
Therefore, I think it would be reasonable to exempt or reduce the requirements for
apartment and commercial developments below a certain size.
In summary, if changes similar to those ideas outlined above would be incor-
porated into an ordinance such as this I would be able to support it, but at the
present time I will have to vote no on this proposed ordinance.

STAFF REPORT
Planning and Zoning Commission
August 5, 1976
SUBJECT: Z-7609. Application submitted by
Bryn Mawr Heights and Company to
rezone a tract of land from R1A
to R2, R3, and Cl, lcated
IB
south of proposed subdivision Bryn Mawr Heights, PartR8, and immediately
north of the south corporate limits of Iowa City. Date filed: 7/2/76.
45 -day limitation: 8/16/76.
The request area of approximately 34.04 acres is undeveloped and zoned
RIA. The main physical featu re of the area is the gently rolling topography.
This area is highly suitable for urban development.
The major land use in the surrounding area is predominantly residential
and commercial in character. The proposed subdivision, Bryn Mawr Heights,
Part 8 (20.3 acres) is located immediately north of the request area. The
aforementioned subdivision has been requested for rezoning from R1A to
RIB. The proposed addition is also an integral part of a large scale
development plan, for the area. Existing single family residences zoned
RIB are found to the east of the request area. Land presently occupied by
commercial uses abuts the request area to the south. These commercial
establishments, although located just outside the Iowa City limits, serve
the general Iowa City community as well as the traveling public using
Highway 1.
There are two major constraints of the proposed rezoning request. The
first major constraint is the location of proposed R2 and R3 residential
zoned land adjacent to property to be designated in a Cl (commercial)
category. Residential areas should not be located next to commercial
areas without adequate controls providing for protection of adjacent
residential areas. The proposed Cl zoning would allow for the development
of a variety of general commercial uses suitable for convenience to the
neighborhood. The location of these uses next to residential areas may be
desirable provided that adequate guidelines are established for the develop-
ment and placement of such activities. General zonal regulations do not
provide this assurance.
The Southwest Area Study prepared by staff in 1969 indicated that existing
commercial areas -- including the potential commercial center planned for
the 15 -acre area zoned CH near Benton Street and Mormon Trek Boulevard -
are adequate to serve the ultimate anticipated population of the subject
area and the general vicinity. The report also recommended that no
additional land is needed for commercial use in or near the subject area.
A major concern of the staff is whether commercial development is needed
for the subject area, if the proposed location is desirable, and what type
of commercial use should be allowed in the request area when it develops.
Large commercial space in the area cannot be supported competitively if
other proposed commercial areas are developed. A neighborhood convenience
�ya3
0
-'-
center providing for daily household needs may be desirable if development
is sufficiently large enough to support such a use. This facility usually
requires an area of about 1.5 to 4.0 acres. The most desirable location for
convenience centers is on an arterial street at the intersection of a
collector street. The proposed commercial sites as illustrated on the
rezoning map is consistent with the previously mentioned size and location
standards for neighborhood convenience centers.
Residential areas should be protected from depreciation of property value
resulting from commercial over -zoning and even from the intrusion of
desirable commercial uses. In this regard, the City should allow for the
development of only planned and integrated commercial areas. This can best
be accomplished through the use of the planned commercial zone (PC Zone)
as specified in Chapter 8.10 of the Iowa City Zoning Code or via a planned
area development.
The second major constraint of the rezoning request is that the proposed
rezoning does not provide for the most desirable zoning pattern and develop-
ment scheme. The rezoning proposals do provide for transitional or step-
down zoning. This type of zoning is acceptable as a means for insulating
sharp changes in land use. The use of transitional zoning for new large
scale developments, however, may allow for random and unplanned development
rather than a pattern of development thoughtfully formulated in the interest
of the community.
As mentioned before, traditional zonal regulations do not provide the
City with development controls that will ensure that future development
will occur in a desirable manner appropriate to community needs.
The staff encourages the use of "Planned Area Development" for the planning
and development of the subject area. The previously mentioned Southwest
Development Study also recommended the use of PAD's for the development of
the subject area and its immediate vicinity. The report further suggested
that multi -family development be permitted in the aforementioned only
through a PAD and at a density of RIB.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the above analysis,
the staff recommends that the
rezoning request be denied.
STAFF Proper zoning of commercial or
COMMENT: business areas is a subject of
considerable debate. Perhaps
the worst fault of many early
zoning ordinances was the practice of over -zoning for stores and other
business uses. Property owners had the idea that if their land was so
zoned, they would be developed for commercial purposes and would be more
valuable as a consequence. City officials felt that the best use that
could be made of the frontage of all major thoroughfares and some of the
0
-3-
Is
minor ones was for businesses; civic boosters urged that plenty of space be
left for business expansion. The net effect was the creation of run down
slum areas, since large areas were zoned for business and the adjacent land
was sterilized, inhibiting productive use. No property owner would spend
much to improve residential property in an area zoned for business, due to
lack of protection against his neighborhood.
Only about 2-5% of the total developed area of an average city is devoted
to commercial uses. This amount is divided among the central business
district, neighborhood shopping centers and other areas scattered throughout
the city.while all off-street parking requirements for new commercial centers
will raise the total space requirements somewhat, close examination should
be given to any zoning ordinance that provides a markedly greater amount of
land for commercial purposes than S% of the total. Possible the greatest
problem in commercial zoning today is the location of neighborhood and
community shopping centers. Due to the success of some of these centers
a boom has developed and many real estate developers are eager to follow
the trend. From a planning point of view, there is frequently no basis
for choice between a number of locations for a shopping center. At the
same time, it is obvious that even complete services of all natural trade
area would not furnish enough business to support a center at every possible
location. Several partially developed centers in fierce competition with
one another will not be so desirable for the community as one or two
thriving centers.
It is difficult to designate in advance any specific location as the only
shopping center district, because this amounts to giving the lucky property
owner a monopoly. The city can resolve this dilemma by spelling out in its
ordinance the conditions under which an area will be rezoned for shopping
center purposes and by placing the burden on the applicant to demonstrate
that his tract meets these conditions.

RE: Charges of Bruce Glasgow
I have reviewed the correspondence relating to the charges concerning the
staff which Mr. Glasgow made at the City Council meeting last Tuesday.
Enclosed is a letter dated March 17, 1976, from Mr. Gene Dietz, City Engineer,
to Mr. Bruce Glasgow. This letter indicates that the staff carefully reviewed
the facts, was courteous in responding to the applicant, offered alternatives,
and abided by the law.
The City staff has responded in a similar manner in other instances when the
staff has been requested to circumvent the law. I do not intend to have the
City staff pressured into taking irresponsible actions and/or ignoring legal
advice.
I believe that this letter again is indicative that sometimes the complaints
which the Council receives concerning the staff are not really indicative
of the response which the staff provides.
The staff will continue to deal with problems of this nature in the manner
which this letter represents, and I trust this will be satisfactory with the
City Council.

Re: RiIords Sub - Division
Dear Mr. Glasgow•:
71tis letter will. serve to reiterate our telephone conversation
on this date concerning building permits on the tract of land
In Ricorlls Sub -Division. Aftcr a lengthy discussion with
Assistant City Attorney Kushnir, it is our opinion that the
application for a building permit to C.F. Merker be denied.
The reason for the denial is that the circumstances would not

conditions as are set forth below, as well as those contained

above specified, then the Railway Company, at its option, may
immediately revoke this License.
For the privileges herein permitted, the Licensee has
paid to the Railway a fee of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for
preparation of this instrument, receipt whereof is hereby acknow-
ledged.

satisfaction- In any area where a minimum 24 inch covering
cannot be obtained, the three inch (3") rigid steel conduit must
be placed in a minimum of two inch (2") concrete covering and a
minimum 12 inch (1211) covering laid above the two inch concrete

RE: As Listed
Bikeway Grant
The Fink -bine Bikeway Grant application has been forwarded to the Kansas
City Federal Highway Regional Office from the Iowa Department of Trans-
portation. The Iowa DOT Office of Planning and Research Program Manage-
ment in Ames was very impressed with our application and forwarded the
grant with high recommendations to Kansas City. The application will be
forwarded to Washington, D.C., in early September. We will keep you
informed of its progress.
Parking Charges
In the discussion of the revision of parking charges at the last Council
meeting, the difference in revenue was estimated to be $25,000. This figure
is incorrect. The correct figure, as it appears on page 2 of the budget,
is approximately $100,000. The $25,000 figure represented the net revenue
in the current fiscal year and not the gross.
Landfill Charges
I?ecently the City Council received a memorandum from the Director of Public
Works dated July 29, 1976, suggesting that participating communities would
pay on a per capita, per day usage rather than on a so-called honor system
which tends to apparently distort actual usage. As the revision in the
contracts appears to be desirable, I have directed the Public Works Depart-
ment to proceed with that change. If for any reason the Council deems
such action to be undesirable, please respond accordingly.
Travel Expenses
On several occasions City Council members have inquired about travel expenses.
The Manager approves all travel expenses for City personnel. This approval
is based upon the information submitted with the budget, including a detailed
listing of the programs. However, for the City Council there is no such
information and the City Manager has been automatically approving all travel
requests for City Council members. If the City Council is concerned about
travel expenses for the City Council, it certainly would be appropriate for
the City Council to adopt a policy whereby the Council would authorize
travel expenses for Council persons or provide the City Manager with guide-
lines for approval. In the interim, the Manager will continue to authorize
travel expenditures for Council members without question as long as the
money requested does not exceed the budget appropriation.

RE: Leisure Needs Survey, Summer 1976 N{'/
Attached are excerpts from the Leisure Needs Survey which was
conducted by two (2) recreation interns this past summer.
There was $16,000 budgeted in FY 76 for such a survey, but the
money was diverted to other uses (the purchase of Northeast
Park, I think).
The survey areas were selected with the assistance of Johnson
county Regional Planning and Rena Weerts, University Examination
Services. The latest computer data was used to properly identify
the survey areas. This survey meets all criteria for an accurate,
scientific instrument.
It is my intention to continue the survey process in the coming
semesters, again using recreation interns and asking the same
questions. We expect to get a different response from a winter
survey when people are thinking about ice skating, skiing, etc.
We will use different areas of the city, scientifically selected.
The major portion of the credit for the success of this project
should go to the interns, Bob Lee and the Recreation Education
Department of the University of Iowa.

P U R P O S E
The main purpose of the Leisure Needs Survey thar.was done this summer
for the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department was to try to find from the
citizens of Iowa City whether they were pleased with the services being offered
at the present time. Also, by doing this survey, we wanted to find out if the
Department was meeting the needs of the citizens of Iowa City. If this was not
the case, we wanted to find out some ways that would perhaps be beneficial in
serving the people living in Iowa City.
The questions (please refer to the Leisure Needs Survey Questionnaire on
the following page) that were used in our survey were developed after having
conferences with Mr. Dennis Showalter, Mr. Lee, and Dr. Ben Hunnicutt. We
also decided the following: (1) Do the Leisure Needs Survey in eight different
blocks of Iowa City that contained people who are classified in the High Income,
Middle Income, and Low Income bracket (The eight blocks were randomly selected.)
and (2) Each intern was responsible for administering the survey in a four
block area. Because of the length of time that we had to do the Leisure Needs
Survey, we were not able to survey the entire city of Iowa City.
The survey was administered on a door to door basis, and all of the questions
were asked to the person who answered the door first. Each intern was responsible
for writing down the responses from the people. We decided upon using a short
survey format, because we felt that people would cooperate with us better, and
perhaps the Leisure Needs Survey would be more beneficial to the Iowa City Parks
and Recreation Department.
After the Leisure Needs Survey was completed over the eight blocks that were
selected, all of the responses were separated into three groups (High Income,
Middle Income, and Low Income). Each question was tabulated on an individual
basis, and conclusions were drawn from it.
Howard W. Batts
Summer Recreation Intern
P U R P O S E
The purpose of the Leisure Needs Survey was to find out if the Iowa City
Parks and Recreation Department is offering the right services to the general
public of Iowa City. It was also necessary to ask if there were services that
weren't being programmed, if they should be programmed for the benefit of the
public.
The questions were prepared by the following people:
1. Mr. Dennis Showalter - Director of Parks and Recreation.
2. Mr. Robert A. Lee - Superintendent of Recreation.
3. Dr. Ben Hunnicutt - Instructor of undergraduate studies at the
University of Iowa.
The questions asked on the Survey came from a mutual agreement of the people
listed above. They felt those questions would draw the best and most needed
responses necessary to improve the Parks and Recreation Department in Iowa City.
The Survey was selected on a basis of Random Sampling. We selected 8
separate blocks in 8 separate sections of the City to get all levels of income,
to become as diversified as we possibly could and that hopefully we Would be
as non -biased as possible also.
The questions were presented by going door-to-door and asking the questions
to the person that first answered the door. We went_during the hours we felt
most of the public would be home to get the highest percentage of responses
possible. It was suggested that we not return to a home a second time due to
the lack of time we had to conduct the Survey.
The questions were compiled by tabulating the responses from the four
questions and drawing as many conclusions as we possibly could for the benefit
of the Parks and Recreation Department.

Conclusions
Question #2
The following are responses to question two, "Are you satisfied with the
services of the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department?"
I. Out of the 118 total responses, 105 people (89%) indicated that
they were satisfied.
2. 4 people (3.3%) said they were not satisfied.
3. 9 people (7.7x) chose to give no opinion.
When you look at the Survey based on income levels, you will find that
the majority of the people came from the medium class of living. Other conclusions
drawn are as follows:
1. 50 middle class citizens responded yes.
2. 36 low to middle class responded yes.
3. The majority of the people that responded no or gave no opinion were
of the low and middle classes of incomes.
When looking at the different age groups, the 22-39 age group (456) were
the ones that responded the most from the survey. Following them were the 40-59
i
age group (23.7%).
The age group that was least responded to was that of the 6-12 age group
Conclusions
Question S3
The following are responses to question three: "What services would you
like to have the Parks and Recreation Department offer?"
1. 21 people indicated that they could not think of any thing in regards
to what they would like the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department
to offer.
2. 10 people responded that there should be more bike paths in the City of
Iowa City.
3. 9 people responded that they would like to see more tennis courts
built and centrally located in the City of Iowa City.
4. 6 people indicated that the tennis courts needed to be lighted for late

keep offering the present services.
About 50 different responses were given to this question; 29 by one person
only and 9 other items by two people. Some of the answers given obviously have
nothing to do with the Parks and Recreation Department. A listing of all responses
is available and on file in the Parks and Recreation Department office.
Conclusions
Question #4

Iv
The Planning and Zoning Commission at a regular meeting
held on August 5, 1976, considered the extension of a
sanitary sewer across Scott Boulevard permitting development
beyond the present urbanized area. While the Commission
did express concern, they felt they were not in a position
to recommend for or against the extension of said sewer
because of inadequate information regarding the implications
involved. Rather, they felt this is something that should
be addressed in the Comprehensive Plan under Development.
They voted, therefore, to inform the Council that they were
unable to make a recommendation on the extension of a
sanitary sewer across Scott Boulevard permitting development
beyond the present urbanized area.

RE: Fair Market Rents for Existing Units, Section 8
Some time in the last six months information was distributed
concerning increases in Fair Market Rents (FMR).
Proposed rules were published in the Federal Register
July 2 with a comment period to July 28 before making the
schedule effective. The FDIR for Johnson County as published
differs from those previously distributed. The F6IR we are
utilizing effective August 1st are as follows:
D bedroom -- 145
It 1 170
2 -- 199
3 -- 230
.1+
-- 249
Efforts will be continued to get the FMR for 2, 3and 4+
bedroom units increased to a more realistic level. Until
this occurs, there can be little activity within the program
for units in this group.

Much of the area cannot support extensive urban
The rezoning is being requested to provide American College Testing Program,
Inc. with more space to expand their present facilities located at Highway 1
and Interstate 80 in Iowa City. This site was rezoned from an R1A classifi-
cation to a new Office and Research Park classification which was approved
by the City Council August 6, 1973. The primary purpose of the ORP Zone
is to allow for the development of areas in the City that would be occupied
by restricted low intensity research uses. These uses are service industrial
uses which include basic research in physical, biological and social sciences.
Although research uses such as ACT are industry -related, they can be made
compatible with residential uses when adequate buffering is provided.
The proposed location of the ACT site which is located near the present
facility is consistent with the preliminary Comprehensive Plan land use
intensity policies presently being prepared by the Planning Staff. The
intensity policy which covers the subject area and its immediate vicinity
states that only moderate to low intensity uses should be allowed to develop
in this area with a gradation of intensities extending south from the
Highway 1 -Interstate 80 interchange.
The primary concern of the staff with the rezoning request is the location
of the ACT site in the center of an undeveloped area that may someday develop
as a low to medium density residential neighborhood. Planning standards
indicate that research and office facilities, restricted by the ORP Zone,
can be incorporated into residential neighborhoods. With adequate controls
these types of facilities often contribute additional open space and generally
are not inimical to residential use. Their location, access and size,
however, must be considered relative to the surrounding area as well as the
neighborhood itself.
As mentioned above, the development and location of moderate to low intensity
uses such as the subject request is desirable in the area. Nevertheless,
research and office facilities should be located, if possible, in a more
capacious area either near Highway 1 and Interstate 80 or near the boundaries
of an established neighborhood. If these facilities are placed centrally in
an area that may in the near future develop as a residential neighborhood,

SUBJECT: Z-7613. Application submitted by
Plum Grove Acres, Inc. to rezone a
tract of land referred to as Court
Part 5 from R1A to RIB and R3A and from R3Alto RIBt(seeulevard attacheddZoning,
map),
located west of Scott Boulevard and north of Washington Street. Date filed:
8/17/76. 45 -day limitation: 10/1/76.
STAFF
ANALYSIS• The subject property consists of
about 9.6 acres of vacant land.
As mentioned previously in Staff
August 2,
1976) the request area is located in the soutthrRalstonlCreekowatershed.
New development in this area will have little impact upon the water run-
off problems. New single family developments zoned RIB are found to the
north and south of the request area. An arterial street, Scott Boulevard,
abuts the property to the east.
The present zoning scheme of the subject property is not conducive to desirable
land use patterns as high density 113A zoned land abuts low density areas zoned
RIA. The proposed zoning would do little to improve the present zoning scheme,
and may create a more undesirable zoning pattern for the following reasons:
(1) the rezoning request would increase the area of the 113A Zone by more than
one acre, (2) allow for the lineal development of an extensive area of high
density residential uses along an arterial street, and (3) the request would
permit low density single family areas to front upon a high density multi -family
development.
In addition to the above, the staff reiterates its opinion stated previously
in Staff Report Z-7608, dated July 1, 1976, (application submitted by Court
Crest, Inc.) that future proposals for 113A zoning should be delayed until
such time as the forthcoming Comprehensive Plan or new and revised zoning
regulations for the City are completed.
STAFF Based upon the foregoing analysis,

SUBJECT: September 2, 1976
S-7626. Preliminary plat of Eastdale
Mall located southeast of First
Avenue and northeast of Lower
Muscatine Road;
STAFF date filed: 8/19/76;
45 -day limitation: 10/3/76.
ANALYSIS: Mr. Dave Cahill and Mr. Pat Harding
propose to subdivide the 10.06 acre
tract previously owned by Victor
commercial development of stores under separateetalsownershipinto 13linterconnectedts for an ebyated
an open pedestrian mall. The conceptual plan has merit and should prove to
be very successful.
A major obstacle in what would appear as a rather unique planned commercial
development is a requirement of the Zoning Code that all lots front directly
upon a public street or upon an officially approved place.
The oard of
submitted Adjustment
on August 4, 1976, tted to designatethe drigranted approval of an application
driveways upon which the lots would front, as
Officially approved places. A staff analysis of that application was presented
in a Staff Report dated August 4, 1976 which is attached as a supplement to
this Staff Report.
The Planning and Engineering Divisions reviewed the subject plat and noted
several discrepancies with the Subdivision Code enumerated as follows:
I. The plat should be designated as a replat of all (or part) of Lot 2
of Ohls Subdivision.
2. The original lot lines of Lot 2 of Ohls Subdivision should be indicated.
3. The subdivision should indicate 13 lots and be. numbered in numerical order.
4. Private drives should be labelled as officially approved places.
5. The chord bearing and distance, radius and the arc length should be
indicated on the plat and in the description for the curve in the
boundary along First Avenue.
6. Easements should be shown for all existing and proposed public utilities.
7. A graphic scale should be provided.
8. The width of the right-of-way and paved surface of existing streets abutting
the subdivision should be indicated.
9. The lot dimensions of Lots 1, 11 and 12 should be shown.

•
10. A signature block should be provided for the City Clerk's later
certification of the approval of the plat.
11. The distance to the southeast boundary line of an existing sanitary
sewer paralleling the boundary line should be indicated.
12. The monument at the southeast corner of Section 14 should be re-established
with a permanent monument offset from an existing storm sewer.
13. The words "to be enlarged" should be added to the note "24 inch concrete
pipe" shown at the termination of the existing storm sewer through the
subdivision.

STAFF REPORT
Board of Adjustment
August 4, 1976
SUBJECT: V-7607. Application submitted by
Mr. Dave Cahill and Mr. Pat
Harding to permit lots at 1705
First Avenue to front upon a
private drive or an "officially approved place" in lieu of upon a public
street; date filed: 7/14/76.
STAFF According to Section 8.10.3A.48
ANALYSIS: of the Zoning Code, a lot is
"a parcel of land, adequate for
occupancy by a use permitted
under this Chapter (8.10), which provides the yards, area, and off-street
parking herein required under this Chapter, and which fronts directly
upon a public street or upon an officially approved place". A lot is
also a parcel for the purpose of transfer of ownership or building develop-
ment as established in an approved and recorded subdivision plat. The
applicants propose to subdivide part of a 9.47 acre tract located north
of Lower Muscatine Road and east of First Avenue (see attached plan)
into lots for disposition to potential commercial buyers for development
in accordance with a preconceived development plan. The lots, however,
could not be subdivided without frontage upon a public street unless
the Board of Adjustment "interprets the provisions of the Zoning Code
in such a way as will riot be contrary to public interest where owing to
special conditions a literal enforcement of the provisions of this
Code will result'in unnecessary hardship, and in such a way that the
spirit of the Code shall be observed and substantial justice done
(8.10.28H.1.D)". The Board's interpretation of the ordinance would
constitute permission to allow the lots to front upon an officially approved
place. This analysis, then, will address the "special conditions" and
"public interest" in this case to determine whether there is sufficient
grounds in granting such approval.
The applicants, purchasers of the Victor Metals estate, propose to convert
the existing building into an enclosed mall and, in addition, to construct an
open mail with stores linked to the enclosed mall by an exterior pedestrian walkway.
In shopping center developments, this is the most desirable method of
providing an integration of various types of retail stores for customer
convenience. Such planned developments can most effectively be accomplished
if the shopping center is'under single ownership. That is not to say,
however, that a planned shopping center cannot be developed under multiple
ownership if tight restrictive covenants are established..
The applicant's dilemma is the development of a planned shopping center
under the multiple ownership of lots having frontage upon a public street.
They have been informed by the City that cars would not be allowed to
back out from parking stalls onto a public street, and it was suggested
that all parking spaces and driveways be private.
The proposal of a planned commercial shopping center incorporating the
design features contemplated would definitely be in the public interest,
and this situation is sufficiently unique that relief would be warranted.
STAFF Based upon the above analysis,
RECOMENDATION: it is the staff's recommendation
that the Zoning Code be inter-
preted in such a way as will
not be contrary to public interest where owing to special conditions by
permitting lots to front upon a driveway designated as an officially approved
place.

CITY CLERK
APPEAL TO THE
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
DATE July 14, 1976
We, Dave Cahill and Pat Harding of 1705 1st. Ave. Iowa City ,
having met with the City Planning Staff, Traffic Engineer and the
Planning and Zoning Commission for discussions and their recommend-
ations regarding the desirability of dedicated streets versus
private drives in the proposed Eastdale Mall Addition to Iowa City.
The proposed Eastdale Mall adjacent to the southeast side of
First Avenue, the former Victor Metals site, would accommodate
retail businesses and professional services.
The traffic generated by the development would require parking
/j spaces in the proposed streets in addition to off-street parking.
`J The City Staff, considering the importance of traffic movement
on First Avenue, along with additional street maintenance on the
proposed streets and the needs of the developer, advised the
Owners of the proposed Eastdale Mall to provide access to the
development via private drives from First Avenue and Lower Muscatine
Road.
Therefore it would be necessary to deviate from the requirement
of the Zoning Ordinance wherein each lot must front on a public
street.
Therefore in accordance with Section 8.10.28.H.1.D of the Zoning
Ordinance, "To interpret the provisions of this Chapter in such a
way as will not be contrary to public interest where owing to
special conditions a literal enforcement of the provisions of this
Chapter will result in unnecessary hardship, and in such a way that
the spirit of this Chapter shall be observed and substantial justice
done," it will be necessary for the Board of Adjustment to interpret
and if necessary, grant a variance of lots fronting on public streets.

STAFF REPORT
Planning and Zoning Commission
September 2, 1976
SUBJECT: S-7628. Application submitted by
Gary Albertson and Gary Hamdorf for
approval of a preliminary and final
Large Scale Residential Development
plan and Planned Area Development plan of AP,H Apartments; date filed:
8/25/76; 4S -day limitation: 10/9/76.
STAFF On May 18, 1976, the City Council
ANALYSIS: had approved a preliminary and final
LSRD and PAD plan of Cor -Dor Apart-
ments, a revised LSRD and PAD plan
of a portion of Lot 23 of Placbride Addition, Part 1. The subject
application for development of a 36 unit apartment complex east of
Westgate Street and north of Calvin Court is a revision of the plans
approved for Cor -Dor Apartments.
According to Section 8.10.2011 of the Zoning Code, any changes to an
approved final plan, including changes in building arrangements must
"be considered and voted upon by the Planning and Zoning Commission
and the City Council prior to issuing building permits related to such
changes" (whatever that means). The Staff frankly questioned whether,
in this case, an owner is again subjected to the submittal of a revised
LSRD and PAD plan meeting all of the requirements and procedures because
of a modification in the location or arrangement of the building in a
LSRD and PAD plan previously approved.
The only changes incorporated in the subject combined plan are the
following:
1. A decrease in the number of buildings from four to three,
2. A consequential change in the location of the three buildings,
3. The owner,
4. The owner's attorney, and
5. The name of the development.
STAFF
RECOMMENDATION:
It is the Staff's recommendation
that the subject revised LSRD and
PAD plan be approved as presented.
STAFF Upon the recognition that the City's
COMENT: LSRD and PAD ordinances need to be
revised because of such problems the
Staff is currently in the process
of constructing a new PAD ordinance to essentially reduce the "red tape"
involved and encourage development via the planned concept intended.

the iasis for considering the vacation of street right-of-way depends
upon whether or not it may eventually be needed for access to abutting

The Honorable Mayor Mary Neuhauser and City Council Mc3nbess AUG 12 1976 I«<---I���
Iowa City, Iowa . B B 1 E S T O L F U S
Dear Mayor Neuhauser and Council Members: CITY CLERK
I recently purchased a lot .in the Manville addition subdivision
which faces Hutchinson Avenue right of way on its east side and McLean
Street right of way on its south side. I plan to build a one family
hare on this lot.
I am respectfully submitting a request to vacate McLean Street
between Hutchinson and Lexington Avenues. I wish to have the 300
foot length of McLean Street right of way vacated for two reasons.
First, the City planning and zoning regulations require that a
house built on the lot which I o=wn must be set back 30 feet from the
north edge of McLean Street right of way. This set back requirement
would endanger the existence of a very large oak tree situated about
50 feet from the north edge of McLean Street in the middle of the lot.
Vacating McLean Street would allow for the construction of a house
without endangering any of the large trees on the lot which I own.
I have attached to the vacating application a map of the trees located
on both the lot I own and on the McLean Street right of way. I do
not wish to disturb any of the large, healthy trees located on the
lot I own as well as on the McLean Street right of way.
The second reason for the vacating request is to allow the
Construction of a driveway between the south east corner of the lot
I own and Hutchinson Avenue.
I£ the McLean Street right of way were vacated, I would want to
Purchase half of the street along my property line.
I have visited with the other property owners adjacent to McLean
Street right of way between Lexington and Hutchinson Avenues. None of
these Property owners wishes to have McLean Street built in this
location.
On this 300 foot length of McLean Street right of way, I have
counted 11 very large healthy hardwood trees which tower 100 feet into
the air. The preservation of these trees is in itself a good reason
for the City to vacate this street.
I thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely
yours,
Robert-N. Staley

luncheon at the Highlander on August 30 at 11:30 A.M. with
Mr. Nate Ru ;n H D before the
n
P.M. for the Autumn Park Apartments- Councilman
idi ceremony
ndicated he could not attend.
TRANSIT SYSTEM'S FIFTH ANNIVERSARY
City Manager Berlin stated in honor of their 5th anniversary,
the T" nsyt_Depar-tment_would like to suspend bus fares on
September 1st. However, since this would result in a loss of
$800 income, Council approval was required. several Council -
members felt it would be a good promotional scheme and ex-
pressed their desire to have it heavily publicized. There
were no objections to the bus fare suspension.
URBAN RENEWAL
Director of Community Development Kraft and Redevelopment Spe-
cialist Glaves were present for the discussion. City Manager
Berlin's preliminary comments concerning the proposed contract
with Zuchelli Hunter & Associates, Inc. included (lj this
contract is obviously more specific than most, and (2) it in-
cludes an implementation program. He advised Council to fully
consider the aspects of the contract, that they should be pre-
pared to deal with the policy making issues in a reasonable
timeframe to follow through with it. He stated that in no
way should this contract be translated as taking pressure off
making decisions.
Council discussed ri-ty staff articioat;
contract. ation to the
City Manager Berlin stated more staff lcould be hired
rather than hiring a consultant but that the City could never
hire staff with the expertise needed for the marketing of this
Project in the fields of financing, mortgaging, retailing, and
developing. fie further stated additional staff would cost a
minimum of $25,000 up to $50,000. Redevelopment Specialist
Glaves stated three additional staff members would be needed
to substitute for the contract services. The contract has a.
limit of $55,300 in expenditures for services. Councilman

Council Discussion
August 27, 1976
Selzer noted that according to the contract, City staff would
actually do mos;of the work with the consultant merely ad-
vising. He felt this contract was an expensive way out (to
lead the Council by the hand). City Manager Berlin indicated
staff has outlined staff responsibilities under the contract,
and they have scheduled a meeting with Zuchelli next Monday,
August 30, to discuss trade-offs. At that time, Zuchelli is
to present a man-hour, week -by -week schedule which will help
determine whether or not staff is doing too much "leg work".
Mr. Berlin noted that the contract was set up so the consult-
ant was not to do anything our staff could do.
Consultant control over d v io_e,% was discussed by Council.
Glaves stressed the need to have a consultant to determine
whether a developer is stating posture or a tactic. when
asked what this consultant provides that others haven't, Kraft
responded "expertise" from an agent of the City to proceed
through the development process. He further stated that if
we want smooth solicitation for developers, this is the only
way to go. Glaves added the consultant would would help deter-
mine whether or not the grievances of the developers were
legitimate or not. Councilman Selzer felt the consultant ser-
vices extend too far into developer's duties. He also stated
there is no guarantee the consultant will find a developer,
that on page 17, Task 13, it states the consultant "will as-
semble and maintain a current list of prospective developers."
Berlin stated the responsibility of the consultant in obtain-
ing developers should be defined more specifically. Council-
man Selzer indicated he was more interested in buying zuchelli's
contacts. Mayor Neuhauser was opposed to Task 5 on page 10
concerning marketability analysis She felt the developers
would go ahead and do this anyway. However, Mr. Berlin stated
it would give basis to sell land more readily. Glaves added
that this analysis was to be just a brief overview.
Council deliberated the necessity of Ph_ asP T In referring
to page 9, Task 4, Mayor Neuhauser noted noted the contract
seemed to say the City must follow zuchelli's advice concern-
ing marketing if committed to the contract. Therefore, if
Council were to determine the marketing policy, this area of
the contract could be deleted.
Councilman Selzer questioned Task 6 where it states "the Con-
sultant will dimension the Project Reuse Plan-"* He'felt this
would be a waste of time and money since the City has updated
the Urban Renewal Plan. When told it needed to be more speci-
fic, Selzer stated it would put additional requirements on
the form and use of parcels, and, in turn, on the developer.

Council Discussion
August 27, 1976
City Manager Berlin stated that if Zuchelli's suggestion was
omitted, the bidder would be free to make decisions on the
form and configuration of parcel uses. Mayor Neuhauser noted
the larger parcels could be used in a variety of ways (which
might not be satisfactory with the City) and further felt areas
for streets and parking should be pre -determined. Mr. Glaves
stated that although it is inappropriate to impose too many
restrictions, it would be just as inappropriate to allow too
much uncertainty. A balance needs to be obtained.
Council discussed pages 13 and 14 regarding financial analysis.
Redevelopment Specialist Glaves indicated staff would provide
the preliminary analysis. This would provide a basis for the
consultants to evaluate the status of our funds and possibly
identify other funds available from the State. Concerning
compensation for services in case of termination by Council,
Council felt the contract should be changed so the consultant
would be paid for services actually done rather than an amount
which bears the same ratio to the total compensation as the
services actually performed bear to the total services of the
consultant covered by the contract.
Councilman Vevera was concerned that if Council did not agree
to advice given by the consultant (i.e., parking ramp), the
contract would allow the consultant to terminate, leaving the
City with the most important matter unresolved (Phase III).
City Manager Berlin assured Council that Mr. Zuchelli was flex-
ible.
Glaves explained we would be buying marketing services to help
us by talking to developers and tenants, not a marketability
study. To attempt this by staff, would require approximately
15 to 18 months, much longer than by consultant. In referring
to Task 9 on page 13, Mayor Neuhauser noted the City already
has an appraiser. Glaves stated the City shouldn't obtain
appraiser values before it is really needed. He also explained
various terms used by the contract including "FAR control"
which means For our Area Ratio control.
Councilman deProsse felt the parcels would be sold to local
developers; she did not anticipate it being advertised nation-
wide. She further stated she greatly respected Paul Glaves'
advice, noting there was a limit to what he can do; and if
staff advises hiring a consultant, this is what should be done.
Councilman Selzer explained two things he felt should be kept
in mind: (1) a great amount of the work covered by the con-
tract has been done, and (2) we're not talking about develop-
ing downtown Detroit, the more controls we place the less
chance of success.

Council Discussion
August 27, 1976
As it appeared Council would not adopt a resolution approving
this contract in present form, it was decided Council could
meet with Zuchelli on Monday afternoon, on August 30, after
staff had smoothed out a few of the problems presented by
this meeting. Glaves indicated Zuchelli had been requested
to have a definitive
e
com-
pelling reasons whyittwas mimpossible ktoimake ng tthe erecommenda-
tions on Monday. Council also wished the contract to be
more specific about site plans, loading zones, and accessi-
bility to and from sites. Council came to the consensus that
the last seven lines of page 5 should be deleted from the
contract.
City Manager Berlin stressed the importance of being frank
and asking questions not covered by staff on Monday when Coun-
cil does have the opportunity to talk with Zuchelli.

NOW, TIIImn'ou, the City and the Consultant- for the considera-
tion and under the conditions hereinafter set forth, do agree as
follows:
Section 1. Employment of Consultant. The City hereby engages
the Consultant and the Consultant hereby agrees to
perform the services hereinafter set forth.
Section 2. Scope of Services. The Consultant shall do, perform
and carry out the services as specified below in a
satisfactory and proper manner with the understanding
that the City shall (1) through its attorney be respon-
sible for legal•aspects of the Consultant's work spe-
cified in this Scope of Services; (2) perform all
required public works and engineering analysis and
costing; (3) carry out reuse appraisals; and (4) assist
the Consultant in and perform particular work items
within tasks as specified in Part B below.
A. Objectives
The Consultant shall assist the City in developing; a marketable
reuse Plan for unsold Project land, including establishment of a
disposition strategy or method, preparation of implementation
and funding schedules, identification of potential Project
developers, and establishment of redevelopment controls.
The Consultant- shall also provide technical services to and
zssist the City in negotiating, by solicitation of offers, the
sale or lease of the parcels of land designated in the Plan
(hereinafter referred to as the Sites) to a qualified redeveloper
- 3 -
or redevelopers for development in accordance with the Plan, at
the earliest possible date.
The particular Sites covered in this Scope of Services are
Block 93, parcels 1, 2, 3; Block 84, parcel 1; Block 83, parcel 1;
Block 101, parcel 2; Block 81, parcel 1; Block 82, parcel 1; Block
102, parcels 1, 2, 3, 4; Block 65, parcels 2, 3, 4; Block 64,
parcel 1; Block 103, parcel 3.
Assistance shall include, but not be limited to, technical
services to enable the City to:
a) evaluate the present reuse program for the Project and
confirm it or make changes to ensure marketability,
indicating the character and extent of reuses;
b) package the Sites for disposition, as individual Sites,
or groups of Sites with legal feasibility established;
C) devise a scheduling and staging of disposition and/or
development- of the Sites either separately or in groups
in a manner consistent with the Plan and the policies
and powers of the City;
�) prepare a funding schedule related to the disposition
schedule indicating the timing requirements for public
funds for the Project and potential funding sources;
e) develop a Disposition Program, alternatives and methods
therefore and develop a Prospectus(es) in connection
therewith, if appropriate;
f) present information supplemental to the Prospectuses)
as required or desired preparatory to the offering or
negotiation of the Sites for disposition;
g) establish a process for review of potential redevel-
opers' submissions and the selection of the best sub-
missions) for these Sites and assist in the review of
submissions and selection and selection of redeveloper(s).
The Scope of Services is divided into three phases. The
first, lasting five to eight weeks from contract execution, is
designed to allow a decision to be made on the method of Site dis-
position (bidding procedures, relative to individual or combined
Sites). The second phase, about three months in duration, is a
detailed disposition programming stage in which specialized market-
ability investigations to reaffirm that a proper mix of reuses
are undertaken, along with scheduling of disposition activ-
ities, designation of public and private participants, and setting
forth of financing and funding requirements. The purpose of this
phase is to establish an achievable disposition program for the
Project and to resolve remaining questions relating to market,
timing, and funding feasibility. The third phase will include
preliminary identification of potential developers and preparation
of site development standards and controls and solicitation docu-
ments for redevelopers, assistance to the City in marketing activ-
ities to inform prospective redevelopers of Project investment
opportunities, presentations to redevelopers, and review and eval-
uation of developer proposals.
In alljthe three phases are scheduled to be accomplished within
nine months and to bring the City to the point of selecting a
developer(s) for Sites to be marketed. Negotiations and execution
of a Land Disposition Agreement can then be completed in the fol-
lowing two to three months.
The work tasks are arranged to allow several checkpoint
sessions in which decisions can be made on proceeding with sub-
sequent tasks. Three decision points will be provided for during
the first two phases of contract performance, following the pre-
para Lion of (1) an integrated work schedule for the Project, (2)
a recommended disposition method, and (3) a public improvements
Program and funding schedule. At each of these three checkpoints
to occur in approximately the first, second and fourth or fifth
months of contract performance, the City Council shall have the
Option of directing the Consultant to continue work, to continue
work under a modified Contract reflecting special problems that
may arise, or to terminate work in accordance with Section 6,
Paragraph E. Decisions to terminate work shall be based on feas-
ibility issues raised at each checkpoint session by the Consultant
and/or City Council members. Similarly, two checkpoints will
occur in the third phase, following (1) preparation of a ?rospectus
to be issued to potential developers describing investment oppor-
tunities, and (2) recommendations on developer selection.
IL is expressly understood that an objective of the Scope
of Services is to retain in as much substance as possible the current
adopted Urban Renewal Plan, consistent with marketability, dispo-
sition feasibility, and legal findings of the Consultant. Should —
deficiencies in the current Reuse Plan be found by the Consultant
to be so great as to necessitate substantial Plan revision and/or
the preparation of a new Environmental Impact Statement, it is
understood that this Contract shall be renegotiated as to Scope
Of Services, Time of Performance, and Compensation. Such deter-
urination shall be made at the end
be based of Task 4, Part B below and shall
upon notification in writing to the City by the Consultant.

Task 2. Assess Marketability _ y of Current Reuse Plan
As a Prerequisite to structuring alternative methods of
disP°sing of Project Land, the Consultant must first deter-
mine that the Project lands proposed for disposition are
marketable. Factors affecting marketability include econ-
omic support for the
types and amounts of development
allowed
•
or sought and the location of uses now reflected in the
Land Use Plan, as well as the individual Site configurations.
Sufficient investigation will take place in this task to
confirm or question marketability; more detailed economic
analysis needed for structuring disposition financing terms
will be performed subsequently, if required.
In determining marketability the Consultant will examine the
current Urban Renewal Plan, previous and recent market studies,
the development proposal of the previously designated rede-
veloper and other relevant documents to understand redevelop-
ment potentials under the present Plan. Interviews will also
be conducted with key public officials and private entrepre-
neurs in the real estate and development field to assess
marketability. •rhe access to and location and configuration of
each Site for intended use and any other constraints affecting
the use of the Sites, such as utility services, parking, ped-
estrian ways, compatibility with neighboring uses and the like,
will also be examined to assess acceptance to potential devel-
opers; the Consultant will rely on past experience and inter-
views in these assessments.
Finally, to the extent deemed necessary for this task and
phase of the Scope, field work and analysis will be performed
to update prior market work where it is judged that current
information and interviews are insufficient to establish
market support.
Following this analysis, conclusions will be made on an over-
all Project- basis and on a Site by Site basis as to the
marketability of uses and Sites
as currently
gested modifications Proposed. Sug-
made will be --
where deemed necessary. Care
wil] be taken to will

Disposition Options
Based on the results
Of Task 2, the Consultant will propose
alternative methods for Project disposition. Considered will be
the possibilities of complete disposition to a single
investor/develo
per, offerings of several conbined Sites to
facilitate coordinated development of compatible Properties,
sale of each Site on an
individual basis, or a combination of
the last two. Potential
S of disposition will also be
addressed. The alternative dis
uated Position methods will be eval-
for marketability, ease of development, dispos
tuning considerations, ition perceived developer interest and
similar factors relating to the
future character and quality
Of the development. They will also be evaluated from the

standpoint of legal feasibility based on Iowa's Chapter 403
Urban Renewal Law and any other relevant state, local or
federal law.
City Staff Responsibility: Perform, through the city attorney,
a legal evaluation of the feasibility of alternative disposi-
tion methods proposed by the Consultant. Assess implications
of alternatives as to changes that will be required to the
Urban Renewal Plan. Present findings and conclusions to the
Consultant in memorandum form.
Task 4. Recommend Preferred Disposition Method
Following the development feasibility and legal feasibility
analyses, the Consultant will recommend a preferred approach,
and present this recommendation and the basis for it to the
City Council_ at a second checkpoint meeting. The meeting will
take place five to eight weeks from Contract execution, if
no unforeseen delays occur beyond the control of the Consul-
tant. Exhibits necessary to facilitate understanding of
the recommendation will be employed: charts and/or memor-
anda as appropriate. It is expected that, at this meeting,
the Council will approve the recommended approach, with
modifications it may suggest. If for any reason outstand-
ing questions remain, a second meeting will be scheduled for a
Council. review/adoption after such questions are resolved.
Po.l.lowing approval of a recommended approach, the Consultant
will detail all programmatic aspects of the Plan (public
improvements, funding, implementation schedules, urban desion
controls, etc.) that are prerequisites to making an offering
to de-,;lopers. If. the disposition method approved involves

DISPOSITION AND REDEVELOPMENT
Prepare Protect Development Program
Utilizing previous marketability studies for the Project,
with supplementary field work and analysis as required, the
Consultant will detail the development program for the Pro-
ject. Within defined tire periods, the program will specify
Project retail. uses that can be developed in terms of store
types and sizes, supportable floor space and annual sales
volumes, and required land area. Conclusions will also be
presented on probable sales and rent -ail yields for Project
net retail uses, during the initial year of operation, along -
with information regarding assumptions on leasing terms, annual
gross sales by store type and gross income before operating
and debt service costs. Similar analysis may be performed for

identify required public inputs (such as parking, utilities,
and open space or pedestrian amenities),Ithe_Consultant will
dimension the Project Reuse Plan indicating parcelization
and the location and character of proposed reuses and public
improvements. The Plan will be in sufficient detail to
facilitate an understanding of the three-dimensional form
of the proposed development. It will be used as a basis for
conveying proposed reuse concepts to potential developers,
and for the preparation of redevelopment controls in Task 11.
The Reuse Plan will be reviewed with the City's design review
committee.

Task 'l. Prepare Project Execution Schedule
Upon completion of Tasks 5 and 6, the Consultant will
prepare a Project- execution schedule. The schedule will
identify by time period specific predevelopment, disposi-
tion, and development activities required to complete Pro-
ject redevelopment. Responsibilities of public and private
actors in carrying out each activity will be made explicit.
The significance of each activity in achieving successful
disposition will be explained in conjunction with the sche-
dule. In addition to identifying activities and respon-
sible participants, the schedule will be used to prepare
a financing and funding program for the site.
City Staff Responsibilit_y: Furnish such timing information
as the Consultant may request relative to satisfaction of
mandated procedural requirements or City ability to perform
that will affect the scheduling of disposition and the
provision of Project improvements.
Task 8. Undertake Pro Forma Financial Analyses
The Consultant will prepare pro forma financial analyses
of the private market components of the Project, including
-1.3 -
also the previously proposed housing project for the elderly
or other residential use of the Site (Block 103, 3). The
p.ro forma analyses will measure building and land develop-
ment costs, likely operating income and costs, probable
financing terms and debt service costs, required private
equity investment and probable returns on that investment.
They will indicate the supportable residual land value and
identify the extent to which any land sales price "write-
down" or other municipal financial incentive would be re-
quired to attract private venture capital. The pro forma
analysis will be used also as a subsequent marketing tool
to display the financial viability of the Project to poten-
tial private developers and as a guide for the range of
possible land prices of the reuse appraisals in the next
task.
City Staff Responsibility: Liaison only.
Task. 9. Assemble Estimates of Public Improvements
Costs and Market Value of Sites
The Consultant will assemble City estimates of the cost of
each public improvement (including site preparation, utility
and related item;;) by time period and in relation to each
Site. In addition, the Consultant will provide guidance to
an appraiser, to be retained by the City, who will estimate
the value of each Site in the Reuse Plan to derive fair market
value for sale, as required by federal statute. The Consul-
tant will advise the City on selection of an appraiser and
ensure that the appraiser fully understands the proposals for
each disposition Site so that reuse appraisals will reflect
values commensurate with the Plan and pro forma analyses.

Also prepared for the Project will be a cash flow analysis
based on costs and revenues attributable to the Project by_
time period (and Fiscal Year) and by Sites; The purpose
of the analysif; .is to determine timing requirements for
public or related funds to implement Project development
activities -.Following the designation of costs by time
Period, the impacts on the City capital and operating
budgets will be identified. Potential funds to pay for
certain Project activities from state and federal sources
will be identified, as well as the use of revenue bonds
and the rolling over of net Project land sales proceeds in
stages for project improvements. A schedule of required
local and federal funds will be developed by source, along
with a strategy for obtaining such funds.
Upon completion of this task, a third checkpoint meeting
will be held with the City Council to review findings of
previous tasks, particularly as they relate to financing
of the Project. Similarly to the first two meetings, the
outcome will be a decision to proceed with or terminate or
modify Contract tasks based on issues raised regarding
feasibility of execution.

• Informal Discussion
The Mayor asked each member to give anust 30, 1976
indication if he/she agreed
that somewhere between alternative 1 and 2, is how the land should
be disposed of. She summed up the comments of the Councilmembers
noting that there was a concensus to use between alternatives
1 and 2. There was also a concensus that Council had excluded a
master developer for everything, and also the single developer
for everything. Mr. Zuchelli commented that he would bring a
cluster pattern, as he sees it, after discussion with the Staff,
for Council discussion. After the disposition method is decided,
major decisions for Council include street closures, a method of
public financing of the project, and decision on whoto sell the
land to. Council discussed Zuchelli's working on a 'needs' basis
after the contract has ended, specifically during the negotiation
stage.
Mr. Zuchelli advised that it is usual to have changes to contracts,
not substantial changes, but proclaimer-type changes. Redevelopment
Specialist Paul Glaves pointed out services to provide and certain
constraints, to explain the 'dimension re -use plan'.
Councilman Balmer voiced concern over the contract, suggesting that
Council is going the same circuitious route as before. The City
Manager commented that he did not see the timeframe moving adversely
as a result of this. Mayor Neuhauser pointed out that the quality
of the decision was important so that it is not constantly
challenged.
Councilman Vevera suggested marketing Blocks 83 84 and 64 in one
t. parcel, all the rest clustered or individually.. After discussion,
Zuchelli advised that if Council made that decision now, he would
take it as a guideline of instruction. The City Manager said to
know this preference would be helpful for staff. The concensus by
Council was to consider this suggestion as an alternative.
Councilman Selzer stated that he could not support the contract pro-
posed, but to expedite decisions of Council, would support a modified
version of the contract, to be accomplished by reducing its scope.
Mayor Neuhauser requested an addition to the contract on page 22
under 'Confidentiality', asking that any discussion of material that
the developers did not want made public, would be revealed only to
the Council thru the City Manager or in a Council session, but not
to individual members, as certain members of the Council do not keep
things confidential.
As the modifications to the contract will not be ready and Council
needs time to digest the changes, the contract will be deferred
from the Aug. 30th agenda. Also total program costs will be pro-
vided, and an indication of whether or not there will be any
problems in other- departments in providing the necessary information,
or if other programs will be disrupted.
Glaves advised that two more appraisers are preparing proposals.
The City Manager was told to proceed working with Mr. Zuchelli for
another week. Councilman Selzer questioned the meaning of 'standard
overhear] and profit' on Page 24. Zuchelli advised that this would
be rewritten, and as to ho:•i he put his fees together, he used
2.65 as a multiplier.

CITY ATTORNEY REPORT ON QUESTIONS ASKED OF THE BANKS BUILDING DOWNTOWN
City Attorney John Hayek reported that in answer to the two questions
Council had asked him to report on concerning the building of the
banks downtown, 1) the banks, Iowa State Bank and Perpetual Savings
and Loan, are interested in building on Block 101,'and 2 they
wanted the City to deal with Old Capitol Associates in their behalf.
A letter will be presented outlining the authority of Old Capitol to
act for them. Concerning the price, the average of the two fair market
value appraisals of the property without significant restrictions, was
used, a figure of approximately $356,000. There is one problem, P.S.K.
will need 25' of land adjacent to their site on the west in addition to
the alley (part of urban renewal land). At least they will need to
be able to bid on that, or they will need a curb cut or access on
Burlington St. Staff has significant reservations on having a curb
cut. The City would have to cut 25' off a parcel. Use of the alley
was discussed. The requirements of the building permit were discussed.
It was noted that a public hearing would have to be held on disposal
of alley property. The Attorney was asked to come up with the best
legal way to settle this.
COUNCIL T114E
Councilman Balmer questioned condemnation of land for the mini -park.
This is an item on the pending list. The City Manager advised that
he had revised the pending list and had eliminated some of the items.
A revised copy will go out in the packet on Friday.
Councilman Balmer asked why the projects in theap rks, to be funded
by HrDA had not been started. Glaves advised that an environmental
assessment statement was needed, which would then be reviewed by
the City Manager and the City Attorney. Concerning the City Manager's
memo on charges by Glasgow, the City Attorney suggested that any such
problems be discussed with the Manger or Attorney, so that all the
facts can be presented. It was noted that the City has for several
months been without a Building Official. Interviewing of final ,can-
didates is being done this week. The new official wiill.prepare as one of
his first duties, an entire inspection program.
Councilman Selzer called attention to the condition of the Mormon Trek
Road. The City Manager advised that the Public Works Dept. had asked
to work on this road. Mayor Neuhauser asked where the bicvcle paths
would be on the new configuration of Muscatine Ave., and called
attention to the communication from schools concerning riding of
bicycles. There will be a memo from Dick Plastino, Director of
Public Works on this and on the extension of First -Avenue.
Councilwoman deProsse discussed the policy for dirt roads, relative to
Scott Boulevard. The City Manager noted a request from residents
on F9ster Road concerning the dust problem.
Mayor Neuhauser advised there were no apparent problems with the
Agenda. Meeting adjourned, 5:00 P.M.

FROM: City Manager ( �'
RE: Proposed Contract with Zuchelli, Hunter and Associates
The intent of the informal meeting on Friday, August 27, at 4:00 P.M. is to
receive Council comments and questions so that Mr. Zuchelli will be respon-
sive to your needs when we meet on Monday.
(inclosed is the proposed form of contract with the firm of Zuchelli, Hunter
and Associ.ates, Inc. A copy of the contract has been referred to the Legal
Department for review.
Mr. Zuchelli is preparing the Integrated Rork Schedule described in Task 1.
This will be reviewed in detail with him on Monday, August 30. Any changes
in the tasks assigned to the consultant and to the City will be made based
on this detail review. Following this task review, any needed change in the
contract task assignments will be made.
The program set forth in the contract is excellent. The timing and duration
of certain tasks differs somewhat from initial staff estimates, but the over-
all work program is scheduled to progress faster and be concluded sooner than
originally estimated. A careful review of task responsibilities indicated
certain areas where the City could do more and other areas where the City
should do less. These adjustments will be made when the Integrated Work
Progravn is reviewed.
Overall, the contract and cork program have closely identified the capabilities
Of the City staff and the areas where professional development assistance is
needed.
Mr. Zuchelli will be in Iowa City on Monday and Tuesday, August 30 and 31, to
work with the staff on the integrated Work Program and any needed contract
revisions and to meet with the City Council concerning the contract and the
disposition program.
At that time, Mr. Zuchelli will provide a statement and answer questions re-
lating to the overall marketing strategy for the program, the work program,
and the contract.
