Please be advised that your letter will be brought to the City Council's attention at a public hearing to be held in the Civic Center Council Chambers on October 5, 1976, in consideration of this application for rezoning. For your information, your objection will necessitate an extraordinary majority vote (6-7 votes) by the Council to approve this application. I would recommend that you attend the Council. meeting on t:he above mentioned date to also voice your objections verbally at the time of the public hearing on this matter. to the Council.

Plastino, Director of Public Works Mr. Eugene Dietz, City Engineer Mr. Steve Morris, Supervisor, Transit System A few hours ago, our daughter was hit by a car on 1st Avenue near Muscatine enroute to Southeast Junior High on her bike. Fortunately, she only re- ceived bumps and bruises according to our physician. The bike will have to be replaced. This is our 2nd experience as our son had a similar accident on lst Avenue near Bradford in 1972. (No crossing guard was present) I realize there is no way to totally prevent bike -car or pedestrian -car accidents. However, I can't help but believe there must be some reasonable measures that can be instituted to decrease the probability of their occurr- ence. It is difficult to cross Muscatine, Court, Rochester and First Avenue at any time and especially in the mornings. I understand via Dr. Ferguson (at Southeast Open House) that this problem has been discussed several times. The crossing guard at Bradford is a help. It seems to me that some additional action should be taken. One thought that occurred to me would be to run a regular Iowa City bus North and South on First Avenue in the critical time periods in the morning on school days and also during normal dismissal times. This bus could trans- port students to Southeast, Iowa City High and Regina on its northerly a.m. route and to Southeast on its a.m. southerly route. In the afternoons it would also return some students. I would think this route would also be Popular for trips to the Mall area and elsewhere. It could possibly have a side -benefit of decreasing some of the peak traffic on 1st Avenue. We have observed that a significant number of students are transported to school by car especially when the weather is bad and in the winter. The purpose of this letter is to encourage someone to take some action and develop a plan that can improve the safety of transport of children in this area of Iowa City.

I feel that a response to yourg letter is appropriate. First of all, I want to indicate that I do not want to debate with You or anyone else the merits of the opinion given by Mr. Kushnir to Mr. Miller, the Chief of Police, concerning parking enforcement. Certainly every Citizen is entitled to his or her opinions insofar as the law is concerned. Further, I have no quarrel with your right or the right of anyone else to express those opinions to the City Council or, through the media, to the public at large. However, I do feel that the last paragraph of your letter as published was uncalled for and inappropriate. Mr. Kushnir has worked :-lard for the City of Iowa City and for the public trying to do his job in the best fashion that he can and I think that the public has been well served by him since he has worked with the City of Iowa City. The fact of the matter is that Mr. Kushnir was asked by the Chief of Police of Iowa City for a legal opinion concerning parking enforcement. It is Mr. Kushnir's ,job to give advice to members of the City staff upon request on these matters. Mr. Kushnir was simply doing the job that he is employed to do. I would hope that in the future if you have com- plaints about the assistant City attorneys that you will bring them to my attention first. Very trul yours, John W.

The City Council has shared your opinion on the desirability of having housing for the elderly :Ind handicapped in the central part of Iowa City_ Although a proposal was submitted a couple of years ago to locate such a proiect on the corner of Court and Dubuque Streets, the severe economic limitations which were imposed on this project by the fcdcral gov(�rnment resulted in the project not being completed. In alts recent discussions on urban renewal, the Council has continuously identified housing as a top priority use for the land located hetween Burlington and Court Streets. As of this time we do not know whether this will include housing for the elderly and handicapped because of the previously mentioned economic problems and the relatively high cost of land in downtown Iowa City. The Council is hopeful that the federal government w3.11 increase the using for the elderly and handicapped and that cost limitations for ho this will result. in the construction of some close-., housing of this type. once again, I would like to thank you for expressing your opinions on housing t.o the City Cotmcil.

Introduction 0 The continued stability and vitality of the heart of Iowa City as the center for business, governmental, institutional, and cultural activities is endangered by blight, deterioration and obsolescence. Recognizing this danger, and considering the community pride and achievement focused on this area, the City of Iowa City, through its Department of Planning and Urban Renewal, has initiated a program of Urban Renewal action in its Central Business District. This Urban Renewal Plan was prepared with the assistance of the Federal government. The primary objectives of the pian are to stimulate, through public action and commitments, private invest- ments in redevelopment and in rehabilitation. In order to achieve the objectives of the City -University Project, the City of Iowa City shall undertake the Urban Renewal actions specified in this Plan, pursuant to the powers granted to it under Chapter 403 of the 1966 Code of Iowa, as amended.

This program will replace the present Affirmative Action Program found on pages 37-41 in the Personnel Rules and Regulations. The new Program does not reflect a change in the basic policy of providing equal employment opportunity. It does hrncever, update the coverage to reflect the current status of the local, state, and federal law and union contracts. it also reflects the present hiring and employment procedures under which the City operates. Policy statements and action elements specifically relating to each section of the plan are used instead of writing definitive rules. This is a format consistent with MBo. The program includes a general policy statement and notes the many laws and regulations with which our Affir- mative Action Plan insures compliance. Recruitment; Employment and Placement; Training, Development, and Promotion; Pay, Compensation, and Working Conditions; Demotion, Lay -Off, and Termination are the specific employment practices the Affirmative Action Program addresses. Also you will find separate statements concerning the City's obligation to affir- mative action for the handicapped and the veterans of the Vietnam Era. The primary purpose of this program is to increase opportunities for minority persons, women, and disadvantaged persons until such time as real equal employment opportunity exists for all people. The change in format provides several advantages for the proper implemen- tation of the program. Working from general policy statements rather than a listing of specific rules allows for the flexibility of changing procedures to incorporate input from staff and union, give consideration to varying departmental needs, and update in accordance with changes in the law and union contracts. At present, no conflicts between the Affirmative Action Program and any of the three negotiated contracts exist. The program includes a mechanism for evaluating the progress and effec- tiveness of the program. City Employment Reports containg data in regard to white, minority, male and female employment by each department will be compiled semi-annually. On an annual basis, these reports will be combined into a statistical breakdown of employees as prescribed by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (Porro #EEOC -4). These depart- mental reports include the establishment of goals and timetables for the hiring of minorities and females. Accompanying these report forms is an evaluation form for department heads to report progress, up -date expected /66 el City Council "2_ • September 24, 1976 employment turnover, or make recommendations for changes in placement Policies. These forms are attached to the Affirmative Action Program as Exhibit A. The City Council and City Manager with the assistance of the HEO Officer, Personnel Specialist, and the human Relations Commission will evaluate the effectiveness of the program by reviewing the statistical reports. The Affirmative Action Program has been discussed with all department heads, some division heads, and the presidents of the three unions. Goals and timetables for each department have been set. A combined report of these goals is found in Exhibit B. This form shows that a projected goal of 5.7% minority and 33% females of the total work force is projected for July 1, 1977. That represents an increase of 1.7% minority and 2.7% females above the present level. A memo date August 17, 1976 from the Human Relations Department discussed the status of the equal opportunity committment of the City. Attached to that memo was a copy of the EL'OC agreement. The agreement called for 33% female ratio in the total work force excluding employees of the library. Exhibit C shows the statistical breakdown of minority and female representation excluding the library. The present representation of females is 27.1%. The projected goal for July 1, 1977 is 31%. A letter from EEOC (Exhibit D) states that the agreement will not be closed out until the 33%'ratio has been achieved. Finally as Exhibit L' is the intent not to discriminate statement requested from contractors, sub -contractors, vendors and suppliers for the Contract Compliance program. The statementrequests as a minimum the employment standards set forth in Title VII. 0 • CITY OF IOWA CITY AFFIRMATIVE ACTION PROGRA%I A. EQUAL DIPUMIENT OPPOR'IUN 1'IY PROGRAM GENERAL POLICY STNI'INI NI' The City of' Iowa City is conmiited to the concept of equal opportunity in all areas of the community and has adopted human relations Ordinance No. 2598 in an effort to achieve non-discriminatory opportunities for all its citizens. The City sets forth the policy that it will not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, national origin, religion, creed, color, age, disability, affectional preference, marital status, or political affiliation, in the areas of employment, housing, public accoimnodations, and credit. It is the policy of the City to assert and advance equal opportunity practices from a position of leadership within the commmunity and to put forth sufficient effort to achieve non- discriminatory opportunities for all citizens of this community. To insure this policy, the City of Iowa City adopts this Affirmative Action Program (AU'). The primary purposes of this Affirmative Action Program are: to increase the opportunities for minority persons, women, and disadvantaged persons to become employees of the City; and to encourage their upward mobility once •.;mployed. Departmental programs are directed towards these two specific ends. Goals to correct unbalances and/or to maintain balances with members of protected categories are a part of implementing the program established. These goals shall be targets reasonably attainable by means of applying good faith effort to all aspects of this Affirmative Action Program covering employment policies and practices. It is the policy of the City to advance equal opportunity principles in conducting the City's business. To insure this policy, a Contract Compliance System will be implemented whereby contractors, sub -contractors, suppliers, and vendor's engaging in contracts with the City and who meet minimum standards will submit an approved non-discrimination and equal opportunity statement of their intent to comply with the policies expressed in the City's Affirmative Action Program. Those contractors, sub -contractors, suppliers, and vendors engaging in contracts funded in whole or in part by federal funds are required to comply with the Federal rules and regu- lations governing the expenditure of such money with regard to equal employment opportunity. This Affirmative Action Program is developed to comply with: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by the Equal IanpLoyment Opportunity Act of 1972. n L� • 1). lizccutive Order 11246 as amended by Executive Order 11375.

L• TO: Mary Neuhauser, Mayor FROM: Dick Blum, Chairman, Comprehensive Plan Coordinating Committee RE: Citizen Participation Process The Comprehensive Plan Coordinating Committee does not recommend the present citizen participation proposal submitted by Lawrence Halprin and Associates. The Committee stated in a motion that it was not in favor of this proposal citing the following comments: 1) The Committee does recognize the need for outside help to organize and carry out citizen participation; 2) The Committee feels that the citizen participation process should be broad-based and offer maximum opportunity for citizen involvement; 3) The Committee feels that the citizen participation process should be less intensive in its use of any one group of people; 4) The Committee expressed that the process should be opinion- and idea - oriented, rather than oriented toward developing final input into the plan; 5) The Committee wants the process to maximize the use of a multi -media approach; and 6) The Committee wants a process which parallels the staff work effort more closely by starting in phase with the planning process and communicating ideas to the CPCC instead of finalized input. The CPCC has determined that the citizen participation process should contain the following components: 1) Some form of survey instrument; 2) Neighborhood meetings; 3) Extensive media coverage; and 4) Maximum opportunity for expressing concerns and idep-s. -,1-- I /'P 166 7 0 .

Dcar Mr. Schntc i ser: This will acknowledge receipt of your Ief.ter dated August 30, 1976, in response to my letter of AuglISt 6, 1976. With all due respect:, 1 believe you have misinterpreted not only the point of my letter, but also the Iegnl con- sequence of tile. reservation of t:he right of way in the historical chain of title to the property involved. Ur. Staab is not concerned about whether or not the tlniversit.y Lake Apartments owners have satisfied their responsibili_ties to the City of lova City, but rather he is concerned that the city of 10Wa City has designated a private roadway as available to file public as a bicycle path. I would :Igreo with your conclusion that the oamet's of the IJni- vers:ity Lake Apartments project h:nle a private right of way over the road in question shared in common with Dr. Staab. On the other hand, they are not the owners of the fee title to the property, and arc therefor not possessed of the power to dedicate that property, or any portion thereof, or any rights therein to the public use, and in my opinion any such designation is a nuIIil.y: I would therefor, on behalf of Ur. Staab, reiterate my demand that the (:ity of Iowa Cit.y take immediate steps Lo correct any misinformation that has been disseminated t.o the general public to the effect that the private road- way in question is in fact available for public use as a bicycle path or walkway, ant] you should be advised that i( immediate steps are not taken by the City of lolly City 1670 page z tem Sephcr 2, 1976 to correct any information which has been disseminated, you will leave us with no alternative but to commence legal proceedings to require you to remove any designation of this private roadway as a bicycle path or walkway available for public use. u's very truly, Charles A.

We also work closely with the Arts Resources Survey being conducted in the area under the auspices of a federal grant program. The Arts Council can only succeed as a real influence in supporting artists and performers and in making resources available to the community as a whole if we can obtain your financial support and participation. Please send us your membership donation ($10. to $25. is suggested as an individual donation) as well as an indication of Arts Council activities in which you might be interested in participating. A form and a return envelope are attached for your convenience. Your support is greatly appreciated in helping us to help the arts grow and prosper in the Iowa City Johnson County Area.

Checks & Balances in Iowa City Our founding fathers set up a government which incorporated a system of "checks and balances.- If one section of government tries to acquire too much power, another branch will stop it. When the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gave Iowa City millions of dollars to meet its neighborhood and community needs, it required that a type of "checks and balances" system be set up in Iowa City. As part to this system, a citizens committee, the Committee on Community Needs (CCN), was created. Although CCN cannot make Iowa City do an since the City Council the federal money can makes the final decisions, CCN does make recommendations to the City Council as to how best be spent. In addition, if CCN feels that the money is being wrongfully employed, it can get in touch with HUD whose legal department, by law, must respond to every citizen complaint concerning HUD money. CCN can also go to the public with this information and bring public pressure on the City. However, the main job of CCN is not to throw road blocks across the path of the City but rather to cooperate with the city government. CCN is set up to: 1. Provide information to the public; 2. Collect the opinions of citizens and present them to the City.Council; 3. Make recommendations, based on citizen input, to the City Council as to how the money should be spent; 4. Keep an eye on the spending of that money to see that it goes for the things intended. Rape Awareness & Prevention Week CCN joins the City Council Septembeof Iowa City in endorsing Rape Awareness and Prevention Week, r_27 -October 1. The week will feature workshops, displays and speakers which will examine the issue of rape and sexual abuse. For more information, call 353-6265. Please help us update our mailing list.

According to Vernon Bennett, a Teamster's agent assigned to union Local No. 47 in Des Moines, six .cities and two county sheriffs' departments In Iowa are operating under a contract negotiated by the Teamsters. The cities nue Ankeny, Cedar Falls, Cedar Rapids, Marshalltown, Mason City and Pleasant Hill, a suburb of Des Moires. The Pleasant Hill police department became the most recent group recognized by the Public Employee Relations ( PER) Board as an organized bargaining unit with the Teamsters Union as Its agent last week. , Four other cities are undergoing litigation with the PER Board to be recognized as bargaining units. To date, the only town in the group whose name is known is Adel. Other names have not been released in order to prevent legal resistance to the titlgatlon proceedings. according to Bennett. Blackhawk and Polk are the only county sheriffs' departments who have accepted the Teamsters as their bargaining agent. Michigan, in which more than so police departments and 21 sheriffs' departments have signed Teamster contracts, baa led all other states in accepting Teamster leadership. In five other states Indiana.- Ohio, Wisconsin. Minnesota and Virginia — the Teamsters are also present in police and sheriffs' departments to varying degrees. The move by the Teamsters has received strong criticism from various quarters, the chid objection being that the corrupt background and strong-arm tactics, of the two -million member union have no place In law enforcement, whose responsibility Is to be as unbiased and non-partisan as possible. "The Teamsters have no business In police work," Is the view of Patrolman Richard Murphy, president of the Iowa City Police Patrolman's Association. Murphy, who oversaw the negotiation of the present contract with Iowa City, which will expire in 1978, thinks a local union is better than a national one. "We're dealing with local people here," Murphy observed. "Having union control, at a local level allows s to be more diplomatic and helps com- munication:' The Iowa City Police PatroloMn's Association is the only in- dependent bargaining unit for police officers in the Iowa City area. and was recognized by the PER Board last year. Johnson County Sheriffs Department and CoralvNe Police Department employees are not under a union contract. "As long as the people in charge see to It that Sheriffs Department! em- ployees are fairly treated I don't see any need for a umdan, ' was the opinion of Johnson County Sberiff Gary Hughes. According to Hughes, there is "nor movement that I know or'. to organize his department's 35 employees. 11 UI Campus Security employees are affiliated with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees.

Brae try►: ,tt4iRest " scandal h->ytnls wire tlaldl Brotbeihood of Teamsters; dlsreg(rding a host of critics, Is using its clout to become the recognized bargaining unit for law enforcement officers from coast to coast." Union officials, however, deny the allegations that any "concerted" effort is taking place, and say that past corruption in the union Is not an Issue. "Clark Mollenhoff has a personal vendetta against the Teamsters and has had for a number of years," complains Bennett: According to Bennett, all unions who have been organized by the Teamsters in Iowa have been organized because taw enforcement employees came to the Teamatks. "More police officers were convicted and sent to Jail last year than Teamsters' union officials," Bennett notes. "Why doesn't he (Mollenboff) print that In his articles?" The impetus for the move to organize law enforcement agen- cies, according to Bennett, came from recent revisions in several state codes that allow government employees to organize in labor unions. "The Teamsters have moved to organize municipal employees. Naturally, police are municipal employees," Bennett notes. Bennett contends that all'Iaw enforcement officials organized by the Teamsters are Instructed that H they are forced to cross or break up a picket line, they are responsible as polled officers flirt . amid union members second. "The only real possibility of Interest would be in the en- forcement of the Landrum -Griffen Act," Bennett explains. The l andrum4rlffen Act of 1959, called the Labor -Management Disclosure Act,'regulates union government and information disclosures. According to Bennett, the act Is enforced -by the FBI. "We're not ever going to organise the FBI, so what's the conflict of Interest?" Bennett says he agrees with Murphy that there may be some "t advantage to having a small local union when dealing with municipalities; he .adds, however, "When you talk about arbitration, impasse proceedings and fact finding, that's where the resources of a union like the Teamsters can really help. Municipalities have all the resources of the people to draw on. They are hard for a weak union to fight." /67 0 • / DES MOINES REGISTER ■ Tues., Sept. 21 Big money for bigger sentences By PATRICK LACKEY 20~ sr wraw ' The 1976 Housing and Neighborhood Preservation Awards have been an- nounced — at last.

STAFF REPORT Planning and Zoning Commission September 16, 1976 SUBJECT: Z-7614. Application submitted by Mr. and Mrs. Will J. Hayek, to rezone a tract of land from R2 to R3, located north of Brown Street and east of Dodge Street and adjoining Happy Hollow Playground. Date filed: 8/26/76; 45 -day limitation: 10/10/76. STAFF The request area, zoned R2, occupies ANALYSIS: about 1.37 acres of vacant land. Approximately .47 acres of the subject property is occupied by three single family dwellings. The predominate type of land use in the vicinity of the request area is low to medium density (one- and two-family) dwellings. The request area is located in an old established predominately single family residential neighborhood. Most of the existing homes in the area were built prior to 1950. Vacant land zoned R3B abuts said property to the north. However, the heavy vegetation that is situated between the request area and the vacant R3B zoned property, provides an almost perfect buffer for screening the R3B area from the subject property. A neighborhood park, Happy Hollow, adjoins the subject property to the east. The applicant is requesting rezoning because the development of the subject property at the maximum permitted density allowed under R2 zoning is inhibited by lack of adequate access to the rear of the property. Adequate access could be provided, however, by constructing a private street adjacent to the existing road to Happy Hollow Park upon submission to the Board of Adjustment for designation of the street as an "officially approved place" if the conditions are sufficiently unique. Both the R3 and R2 zoning classifications allow for development at 14.5 dwelling units per acre as the intent of these zones are to allow for a diversity of low to medium density residential development. Thus, from a density standpoint, both zones are consistent with the existing density of development in the surrounding area. The main constraint of the rezoning request is that proposed R3 development would be incompatible with the existing character and intensity pattern of a predominately single family residential neighborhood. Planning principles dictate that it is undesirable to allow multi -family dwellings to intersperse with older one- and two-family residences, especially when there arc excessive allowances for height and building bulk of multi -family structures. The R3A area study prepared by staff, June, 1974, identified many of the land use problems con- fronting older predominately single family neighborhoods. The Horace Mann neighborhood encompassing the request area, was a part of the in-depth area study. The report stated: "The single family home is the most sensitive to adverse effects from multi -family development. In older neighborhoods, new multi- family housing conflicts with existing single family units by increased density, physical appearance and a perpetuation of further multi -family development within the area." 0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: -z- 0 Based upon the foregoing analysis, it is the staff's recommendation that the application be denied. z' 30 • I '/ i J L� F 1 fill - - 1 B > >, R3 L Q1 T1 T1 ' Lt I� REQUEST �^ AREAEll ST »' jr_ Tom.'

Application submitted by Frantz Construction Co., Inc. to rezone a tract of land located ass and east of Sycamore Street from an RIA Zone tooanhRIB Zoneway and6R2yZone; date filed: 8/14/75; 45 -day limitation: 9/19/75. STAFF ANALYSIS• In a preliminary Staff Report dated August 14, 1975, it was indicated that even if the subject 31.5 acre tract was developed for single family residential use at lot sizes equivalent to RIA, existing sewers could not handle anticipated additional sewage flows without surcharging. Obviously, any further consideration for rezoning the property to permit a higher density of development was redundant pending a complete analysis of the capacity of the existing sewers. The Engineering Division has in conjunction with Shive-Hattery and Associates, engineers for the applicant, resolved that reserve capacity within the sewers, sufficient to accommodate additional sewage flows, exists. Their analysis, which will be explained later in detail, and the following analysis are predicated upon the number of lots illustrated on the preliminary plat of Mount Prospect Addition, Part 3, copies of which are enclosed herewith to the Commission. The applicant has petitioned to rezone the northern 13.3 acres of the 31.5 acre tract to an R2 Zone for 41 duplex lots or 82 duplex units, an average of 6.2 units per acre, and the southern 18.2 acres to an RIB Zone for 74 single family lots, an average of 4.1 units per acre. In combination, 156 dwelling units on 31.5 acres would result in an average overall density of five units per acre. Or in terms of lot sizes, assuming a net reduction in gross land area of 20 percent for street area, the duplex lots would average approximately 11,300 square feet and the single family lots would average approximately 8,570 square feet. An overall average lot size per dwelling unit of approximately 7,040 square feet or a density of five units per acre is not inconsistent with the adjacent developed additions of Hollywood Manor, Mount Prospect and Fairmeadows zoned RIB and R2. The R2 Two Family Residence Zone is intended to provide for single family dwellings and duplexes or two single family attached dwellings. These two residential land uses in combination with each other are quite compatible as evidenced in the Westminster Street and Cornell Avenue area comprised of medium to high quality residential dwellings, the large area zoned R2 in the Longfellow School District and along North Governor Street, and the Taylor Drive area located within close proximity to the subject tract. In planning theory, it is argued that neighborhoods made up of an intermixture of dwelling types are more interesting aesthetically, more socially satisfying and they have the practical advantage of enabling a family to meet its changing housing needs as it grows without having to leave the neighborhood. -2 - Not withstanding from a land use perception, the Staff is inclined to consider the proposed rezoning to an R2 Zone an appropriate amendment to the Zoning Code. However, an area of concern to the Staff is the burden which might be placed upon the Grantwood Elementary School in increased pupil enrollment presumably proportionate to a comparative increase in the density of development. According to the Superintendent of the Iowa City Community School District, Mr. Merlin Ludwig, the Grantwood School, which is located south of the subject tract, was expanded two years ago to accommodate a maximum of 500 Pupils, the most efficient operating level. This fall 403 students have been enrolled from areas both north and south of Highway 6 Bypass, but when the number of students reaches the maximum level, the school boundary will be shifted to Highway 6 Bypass. However, as was mentioned in a report entitled the "Neighborhood Park Study, Hollywood Manor Areae prepared in 1974 by the Planning Division, there is a total of 625 acres of undeveloped land within the "southeast area" which could be expected to accommodate an additional approximate 3,200 families and 3,900 children under 18 years of age. Only a small portion of the total number of children would be of elementary school age, but, nonetheless, there is cause for concern. The family size for single family dwellings is as high as 4.8 people per dwelling unit in the southeast area, but corresponding average family size for duplexes is a mere 2.67 people per unit, i.e., there are .67 children under 18 years of age per unit. Duplex development, therefore, would be expected to mollify an apparent future school enrollment problem. Attached hereto is a memorandum from the Engineering Division summarizing the conclusions from an analysis of the present loadings and capacity of the sewers which provide service to the subject tract. Although, as impli- cated in the previous Staff Report, 0.19 mgd (million gallons per day) of peak sewage outflow from a 45 -acre area, which includes the subject 31.5 acre tract and the 60 lots within the Mount Prospect Additions, Parts IA and 2, was allocated because of the existing RIA Zoning, there is in actuality a reserve capacity within the sewers for an additional 0.08 mgd of sewage flow. Since the subject tract is the last area to develop within the sanitary sewer service area, consumption of the reserve capacity does not present a problem, resulting in the most efficient cost/benefit relationship. Okay, but what if some unforeseen problem develops for which the reserve capacity is needed? As in all design standards, there are "built-in" tolerances to the figures presented including the following: I. The 3.93 cpu (capita per unit) or average number of people per single family dwelling unit figure is representative of the average family size for 286 single family homes and a population of 1,132 people in 12 new residential areas according to the 1970 Decennial Census Block Statistics report. As a neighborhood matures, however, the average family size will decrease to an approximate average of 2.93 people per dwelling as was derived from 869 people residing in 297 homes in older areas. Thus, the quantity of sewage flow should proportionately decrease an anticipated 0.058 mgd for just 31.7 acres of the 45 -acre area. r Isis 2. The 3S0 gpcpd figure for single family development is based upon 100 gpcpd sewage flow times a 2.5 peak factor plus 100 gpcpd of infiltration of ground and surface water into the sanitary sewer. Division had uniformly applied the same rate to duplexThe Engineering es. Yet, according to Veenstra and Kimm, consulting engineers who had designed the sewers for this area, design flows for multifamily development are based upon a 75 gpcpd sewage flow times a 2.S peak factor plus 12.5 gpcpd of infiltration (the low infiltration rate is predicated upon the considerably less footage of sewer per capita). Admittedly, the density of duplex development will be far less than multifamily development, but is, nevertheless, greater than single family development, i.e., design flows for duplexes will be less than for si dwellings. ngle family In summation, the Engineering Division is "comfortable" with the anticipated sewage flows expected from the proposed development of the 31.5 acre tract. Again, however, it is assumed that not more than 44 duplexes 76 single family homes will be constructed. nor more than Said preliminary plat illustrates 41 duplex lots and 74 single family lots. STAFF RECOhAfENDATION: Based upon the foregoing analyses, it is the Staff's recommendation that the application be approved understng the tract will not be subdivided into more lotslth thanhindicated aonithethat preliminary plat.

The average density calculations (total area -street are - units = square feet/unit, should be shown on the plan. The staff actually calculated only 5,976 square feet per unit which is less than permitted (area of the street should be calculated via latitudesand departures). 2• Although heavy natural vegetation currently exists along the railroad, additional evergreen trees should be planted for winter screening. 3. Additional right-of-way for a uniform extension of Orchard Street should be indicated. 4. The current status of an alley south of the tract should be indicated Public or private. -2- S.

City Attorney Litigation: Victor Industries Corp, v. City of Iowa City n'nr Mayor Neuhauser & ymnbers of the Council: Recently I sent you a short mam to which was attached a c of Judge Chagnan's recent decision in the �' Corp- v. City of Iava Ci ger of Victor Industries ty. The City Mans apesteci that I send you a short report giving ttg assessment of the results in the case. The single issue in the case was whether or not the assessment HkIde by the City exceeded the benefits conferred upon the Victor �t<� Property. The test irtnn for Victor Metals was .Little or no benefit cont y that there was m nt. The erred on the property by the street assess- m<vnmum benefit that their witnesses would concede was from $7,000 to $8,000. Donald Johnson, an appraiser from Des Vi ines, testified for the City that in his opinion $120,000 of benefit was conferred on the property by the improvecm�t. The Court found that, "them enhancement and value testified to by defendant's witness was Lunrealistic on the high side as the plaintiff's witnesses were on the low side- The true balance lies somewhere in between." In the Goodell case a case that reached the IcF%,a Su sate years ago out of Clinton, lava the co pry Court tion in an assessment where the paving court 40� reduc- tion benefit on the abutting improvements, while conferring at large, I believe thatproperty, also greatly benefited the public regard e. the First Avenue city faced just this situation with for rd to Realignment, in that one of the major reasons realigning First Avenue was to improve traffic flow in that area of town. It is clear from the court's opinion, that he considered this to be an important factor. The court was also slightly unhappy of with one procedural aspect hir. Johnson's appraisal. Sometime in the future, I will be forwarding sane reco=19ndations to the Director of public t,�orks with regard to special assessrrent Procedure. These recorm-endations will < consist of bits of information than coinsight that I have gained along the line, some of them from less thampletely satisfactory experience. I believe it would have helped in this case if we had had sotto sort of an appraisal of the benefits to be conferred by the project before we actually begin the 1679 Project. Of course, this adds to project costs s believe that early appraisals are coom=what. However, I rth the cost, since most everyone, including judges, seem quite willing to second guess the assessmen t Process, particularly where a single property receives a substantial assessment. To some extent, a proper appraisal before the project is undertaken may head off potential lawsuits. In any event, it makes tip City look more reasonable if they proceed on the basis of an appraisal as opposed to making an assessment and then later trying to find an appraiser to justify what they've already done. I have discussed this decision with Mr. Ken Haynie, an attorney in Pas Moines who has assisted the City in many special assessment n and e one, and would nrojec` , we believe that the decision is an acceptable recommend an appeal. ot If you have any further questions, 2 would be pleased to answer th as best I can.

Glaves, Redevelopment Coordinator RE: Environmental Review - Urban Renewal Plan Amendment 1. Attached you will find a staff report, setting forth the staff environmental review of the amendment to the Urban Renewal Plan Project Iowa R-14. 2. As you know, the Department of Housing and Urban Development completed a final Environmental Impact Statement for Project Iowa R-14 in 1974. As we proceed, at the present time, to make a decision having an effect on the execution of Project Iowa R-14 we will be conducting an environmental review of the consequences of those decisions, step by step, prior to the time that the decision is made by the City Council. The results of this step by step environmental review will be brought to your attention prior to your formal action. 3. The attached staff environmental review sets forth for your consideration an explicit statement of the anticipated environmental effects of the amendments to the Urban Renewal Plan now under consideration. I apologize for not including this environmental review with the packet which you received last Friday. However, the review had not been completed at that time and I felt it proper to insure that the review was complete prior to forwarding it to the City Council. PRG/ssw Attachment 160 0 9 STAFF ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW OF RESOLUTION MODIFYING URBAN RENEWAL PLAN FOR PROJECT IOWA R-14 (Fourth Resolution) The following is a preliminary assessment of the Environmental Effects of the proposed modifications to Iowa City's Urban Renewal Plan. Many of the modifications make no significant changes on the EIS produced by HUD in 1974. Some changes are of a beneficial nature. However, some modifications could potentially produce significant effects and should be monitored during the planning and development process. The specific modifications and their assessed impacts are as follows: Resolution Modifying Urban Renewal Plan for Project Iowa R-14 Resolution No Page 2: Section A, Introduction, the second paragraph, is hereby amended by changing the phrase, "under Chapter 403 of the 1966 Code of Iowa," to read, "under Chapter 403 of the 1975 Code of Iowa," in the last line thereof.

To provide an environment which improves the attractiveness of public transit in Iowa City, and which reinforces the viability of the public transit systems." "o. To encourage the restoration and rehabilitation of structures within downtown Iowa City which are of architectural or historic significance." The above modifications, while not substantial, could have long term positive benefits.

INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION: September'27, 1976, 1:30 P.M., Conference Room, Mayor Neuhauser presiding. COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Neuhauser, Selzer, Vevera, Balmer, Perret, Foster. Absent: deProsse STAFFMEMBERS PRESENT: Morgan (Acting City Manager), Stolfus, Schreiber, Ragland AGENDA DISCUSSION Councilman Balmer asked what the other merchants near Seifert's had for underground vaults. Council discussed investigating conditions concerning this private alley in the middle of the block. There was a consensus of Council to have the City Attor- ney look into the question. Mayor Neuhauser pointed out the addition to the consent calen- dar of the setting of public hearings; Council questioned the procedure on Planning and Zoning recommendations and sorting out what was on the agenda. A format which would be clearer was suggested, putting the action first with the other material following as part of the comment. To give the public hearings more publicity, they will be the last items on the consent agen- da, and the Mayor will announce each one. Concerning Item S.a.(1)b., Council discussed who would maintain the 40' strip of open space along the railroad tracks, for the Village GreAn sc„*h Preliminary Plat, The Mayor requested a map outlining the triangular pieces. In the staff report of August 19th, the third change is listed as 10 inch wide ease- ment. The Mayor asked for a full explanation at Monday meeting of preliminary plat applications, including provisions for lift stations, before Council is asked to approve the plat. Pro- visions should be figured out so that the Council and the audi- ence both can see the explanations made at the formal meetings, possibly using the overhead projector. Councilman Selzer asked Councilman Balmer for an explanation of his "no" vote on the amendment to the Ordinance concerning the Private Club Liquor Licenses. Councilman Balmer advised that he would explain at the formal meeting. Councilman Selzer requested that Item 16, the Resolution amend- ing the Personnel Rules and Regulations Manual. Acting City Manager Caniy Morgan a vis' e—cT-that the amendment relating to the payment of Q_Vexjt�me should save the City money. The Fair Labor Standards Act does not cover municipal governments.

She suggest Heights provide the seed that University or contract wrvices themselves, contract elsewhere, ith Iowa City. Councilman Breese advised that he was speaking as a consensus of his Council. Councilman Stebbins called attention to figures as presented by staff. Mayor Staab noted a disagreement on the amount figured for property tax. On the $14,309,000, the assessed valuation of University Heights property, they calculate $115,188 potential tax instead of $153,907_ 'The observation was made that Road Use Tax received does cover their street maintenance. Councilman Stebbins stated that they want to remain independent so that they will have control of streets and zoning. Councilman Good advised that the majority of the citizens of University Heights who have talked to the Council - members want to remain independent. To elaborate on the reason- ing why they did not want to become a part of Iowa Cit Gilman Stebbins called attention .to objections to proposed wideningproposed of Melrose Avenue, suggesting that a lessen property valuesfour lane would , and suggesting the possibility of a commercial strip. Also there was a fear that more sidewalks would be required. Councilman ter Haar noted a steady erosion Of community autonomy.

Council- man Breese suggested that they could buy refuse collection cheaper elsewhere. Councilman vevera replied that if Univer- sity Heights could get the four services cheaper somewhere else, it was their obligation to do that for their citizens. Concerning further contract negotiations, Councilman Selzer volunteered to meet with the University Heights finance mem- bers and the Iowa City City Manager to go over the figures, identify the problems and clarify certain points. Councilman Breese stated that it was fiscally impossible to pay their "share", as defined in Iowa City's document. A meeting will be scheduled as discussed. The Mayor declared a short recess. 0 Page 4 0 Council Discussion September 27, 1976 REVISED AFFIRh7ATIVE ACTION PROGRAM Acting City Manager Candy Morgan packet, explained the letter receivedand called attentioneto t sent EEOC a from William Lorenz to the Qr— ee�nt_will not be closed Which stated that the been received. out until the 338 ratio has Mayor Neuhauser pointed Out the differences in recruitment under Affirmative Action and EEOC and questioned if we are choosing the "best" qualified or the "minimum" trainable).

There were no Council objections. Redevelopment Program Coordinator Paul Glaves affirmed that the street closures are those shown in red on the Plan, with the exception of the 1/2 block on Dubuque north of Burlington, with College St. between Clinton and Linn remaining open, at this Point. The street closures in the Plan are those included in the EIS which was tested in Court, plus the two blocks of Col- lege between Linn and Dubuque, and Clinton open north and south between the two plus signs on the map, but restricted. cilman Perret questioned if Washington St, from Clinton to Madison was restricted. to pointed out that he and Zuchelli had specifically asked Attorney Hayek if it was his opinion that the Environmental Page 6 Council Discussion September 27, 1976 Impact Statement was written to cover Old Capitol's proposal or the 1969 Plan, which was in effect, to which Old Capitol's proposal was presumed to comply with. Hayek stated that at the time it was written, both documents were well known. Zuchelli specifically asked whether or not if that meant that if the City departed from the development scheme, (parking, street closures, arrangement of land uses), that it would require an amendment to the EIS. Hayek replied that he did not believe so. The document talks about the impacts overall in the project area, even in the area beyond. He pointed out that the current reading on the environmental review procedures is that you make a level of clearance finding (whether or not an EIS is required, or a limited review is required, or whether the project is exempt). HUD wrote the EIS, but if Iowa City was doing the project now, the City would be responsible for writing an EIS. As of now, our level of clearance finding filed With HUD is that the EIS has been completed, and no additional EIS is required. As the City makes decisions affecting the Project, it will have to examine the environmental impact. With one exception there are no environmental impacts of this amend- ment. If the City buys HUD out, it is clear under the block grant regulations that the City will not have to make a new EIS, but might have to amend it with a supplement. He advised that the procedure Staff intends to follow is written envthat they will complete a ironmental review before they come to Council at a decision point. If any Council decision substantially alters the environmental impact of the project, and environmental re- view will have to be written and notice published that the re- view has been completed, a 45 -day process. filed as a supplement to the It would then be existing EIS. Decision on street closures will be the end of October. Glaves pointed out that to judge the environmental impact of the street closures, to use the language from Alternative 5 in the EIS: (1) minimize through traffic, (2) eliminate con- gestion, and (3) construct a man -built amenity area.
