Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding. Councilmembers Present: Balmer, Dickson, Erdahl, McDonald, Neuhauser, Perret. Absent: Lynch. Staff Present: Berlin, Jansen, Boothroy, Karr, Schmeiser, Franklin, Vitosh. Tape Recorded: Reel 83-2, Side 2, 1-882. Manville Heights Moratorium Neuhauser related that a petition had been received from the residents of Manville Heights requesting that the Planning and Zoning Commission proceed with a recommendation on the rezoning of the property in Manville Heights, east of Beldon Avenue. Boothroy stated that Planning and Zoning has prepared a recommendation which will be presented at the 1-31-83 Informal Council meeting to put a moratorium on the area. The moratorium will be on the 1/31/83 meeting agenda for both a public hearing and an ordinance. William Lucas, attorney for Manville property owner John Nolan (204 MacLean Street), raised legal questions concerning the presentation of the Manville Heights petition. City Attorney Jansen stated that there should be no problem having a public hearing. In response to questions from area residents, staff stated that there was nothing at this time to prevent a construction permit from being issued. A Manville Heights resident expressed concern about a tree being cut from the disputed property. The Council discussed a general building moratorium on any area under consideration. for down zoning. Many legal questions are under consideration by City staff. Urban Fringe Committee Report McDonald related that Area 2 was discussed at the last meeting and the recommendation was by consensus. If both the City Council and the Johnson County Board of Supervisors concur with the recommendation, the Committee will go on to Areas 3 and 4. Boothroy warned that the recommendation is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan Update. Franklin noted that Planning and Zoning recommends that the Council leave open the possibility that neighborhood commercial be established south of I-80. Council expressed approval. There was a general discussion about where commercial development be allowed around interstate interchanges, especially around the I-80 and Dubuque Street interchange. Erdahl stated that the Council should direct its representatives on the Committee to recommend one place for commercial development around the Dubuque Street interchange. The Council agreed that the recommendations should be adopted at the next regular Council meeting and forwarded to the County. Areas 3 and 4 will be discussed by the Committee next. Franklin said that the alternatives for the Area 3 recommendations are no longer valid in the context of the Comprehensive Plan. The Committee needs to know the feelings of the Council before they consider the issues. The City will defer to the County on non -controversial areas.

On January 31 discussion on the CIP is scheduled. In order to have a public hearing on February 15, it would have to be set at the February 1 Council meeting. Then the Budget isn't finalized until the February 7 meeting. After discussion Council agreed to set both the public hearing and approval of the Budget for March I. Therefore, an approval is set for March 8. Planning and Program Onva, uuu et a. Administration (pg. 63). No discussion. b. Urban Planning (pg. 68).The City Manager will have a memo to the Council shortly on the $40,000 allotted for economic development. C. JCCOG (pg. 241). There will be a footnote in the final budget stating that JCCOG is not a division of PPD although it does share the same support staff. d. CDBG (pg. 241). In the Housing Inspection memo from Mike Kucharzak the figures are based on the total increase in the budget this year. When the revenue is backed out of the fees, there is an amount left to be funded which can be split between a block grant and either the general fund or property taxes. The incresae in fees mentioned in the memo does not include enough to fund the proposed additional Position. There is assumed to be a 10% increase in revenue based on increased rates. The figures previously submitted to the Council do not include the additional increase for the extra position. Berlin will confirm all figures. Other Budget Items a. Equipment (pg. 269), The schedule was revised to keep the capital outlay under $400,000 by delaying equipment purchases until later years. The Council discussed the lack of alternatives to buying a new bulldozer. The it has $2,000,000 invested in 261 pieces of equipment. The compressed natural gas program is barely working out because of mechanical problems with the compressors and the way they were initially installed. More diesel vehicles are being used. Propane is being considered pending assurances that manufacturer's vehicle warranties wouldn't be voided and the City wouldn't be liable for violations of Federal Emission Standards. Some of the vehicles currently in use were purchased before the preventative mainteannce program was instituted but by FY87 or FY88 all equipment will be under the program. Superior results are occurring now because of the P r even tative�maintenance program; more diesel equipment; and buying dual-purpose equipment. For example, dump trucks which can also plow snow have nearly twice the life cycle as dump trucks which are not designed for snow removal which is used that way anyway. MICROFILMED BY LJORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES r' 3 b. The money budgeted for snow removal overtime pay is budgeted in the Streets budget under chemicals and surfacing as well as overtime and services and charges. C. Personnel. There is a general recommendation for a 6% salary increase. The salaries shown in the memo on department head salaries are the midpoints of the salaries compared with actual salaries in other cities. Comparison of the actual salaries of Iowa City department heads with comparable positions in other cities were discussed. The Public Works Director and Transit Manager are newer and therefore haven't worked up towards the midpoint of their salary range yet. Other communities have financial problems which have held salaries down lately. The long tenure of many positions means higher salaries but also higher effectiveness on the job. The bonus system allows for a bonus of up to $1000 and recognizes special effort or projects rather than merit. The division or department head nominates someone for a bonus and the City Manager makes final decisions. The merit increase is a maximum 2% and is awarded by a supervisor. A bonus is a one-time payment while a merit increase is incorporated into the salary structure of the employee. The Housing Inspector Director was hired from the private sector and has distinct duties in federal housing programs unlike HIS Directors in other communities. It was noted that overall Iowa City has a high quality of employee with a low turnover rate which accounts for higher than average salaries. Next Informal Meeting Agenda' ' The City Attorney evaluation is scheduled for the next informal meeting and has been requested for an executive session. The evaluation will be a basis for discussion rather than a hard and fast rating system. The Conference Board and CIP discussion are both scheduled for the next meeting as well as items from police, water mains, and additional informa- tion in response to requests. Council Business I. The Human Services meeting is Wednesday night. Neuhauser noted that the agency budgets are very high and must be carefully scrutinized, especially in regards to administrative costs, rents, etc. Some merging might result in a savings. 2. Neuhauser stated the legislature should be made aware of the urgency of the proposed bonding bill and also noted their interest in changing the collective bargaining law and in eliminating binding arbitration. 3. Council discussed state law in regards to receipt of gifts and whether the City should pay Councilmember's expenses to dinners and other similar events.

Mayor Mary Neuhauser Councilmembers Present: McDonald, Neuhauser, Perret, Balmer, Lynch, Erdahl. Absent: Dickson. Staff Present: Berlin, Helling, Karr, Seydel, Jansen, Kucharzak, Miller. School Board: Cronin. Board of Supervisors: Donnelly. Tape Recorded: Reel 83-1, Side 1, #805-1604. Central Jr. High Sale Neuhauser noted that the Council has received a proposal from the School Board and a'memorandum from the City Attorney. The Council should decide today to either accept the proposal or develop an alternative plan. Lynch stated that he believes that the major issue between the City. and the School Board is a legal question. Although both sides are approaching it in good faith, the issue of ownership of Central Jr. High might be best left to the courts. Lynch therefore suggested that the Board proposal be rejected. Balmer suggested an informal meeting with the Mayor, School Board and administrators to gauge the common ground. McDonald concurred. FY84 Budget Police Department. In a memo from Police Chief Miller dated January 21, he proposed m -d-shift, operating from 7 p.m. to 3 a.m. Miller stated that the figures in the proposed budget (pg. 107) would be appropriate for the four additional officers he requested in addition to the two already requested by Berlin ($296,029 for ten officers including two vehicles). Miller admitted that it would be possible to move one or two officers from the late night shift to the mid -shift. With the existing staffing there have been 38 dates in the last year that officers have been unable to respond primarily in the 11:30 p.m. to 3:00 a.m, period. A mid -shift would alleviate that problem. In response to a question by Berlin, Miller stated that he could probably fill the shift five days a week with an additional five officers, one fewer than he requested. Currently there are 15 officers on the afternoon shift, 15 on the late night shift, 5 detectives who work days and nights, and 13 officers on day shifts. From these figures subtract four officers who have regular days off, one more off on weekends, and additional officers who might be off because of sick leave, COMis alas id it partially solvesP. mthe p oblem by eliminate, and vations.

At the end of the year, accumulated comp. time is paid at a straight rate. Hiring additional officers probably would not reduce overtime or comp. time Ci MICROFILMED BY I ':JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS- UES MOINES r because there would be more duties performed. If these positions are filled, the department will not be up to maximum strength because everything is changing dramatically. Even if all six new positions are approved and filled, it would be October 7 before all the trainees are enrolled in the training school. Therefore, there would not be a full year of salaries paid this year. Miller wouldn't ask for new positions next year but perhaps he would the year after. McDonald noted that there could be times that officers would not be able to respond to all calls no matter how many were on duty. Some duties have been reduced or eliminated (such as writing parking tickets) in order to leave officers available for more important tasks. Miller stated that training in CPR is included as a basic in officer training and the administering CPR would take precedence over staffing scuts � otherng to were madeand the Police dDepartment lost one officer. This was a small percentage cut compared with other city departments. Last year two positions were added. He noted there is a virtual hiring freeze in other departments. Erdahl thus could not justify more than a total of four new positions. Miller said that the problem with receiving only two new officers this year and two next year is that the necessary training period imposes a long lapse before the officers are available for duty. Erdahl noted that the increase in University students has put a burden on the city police especially in the downtown area. Since there hasn't been new housing on campus the new students all live in the City's jurisdiction. Neuhauser clarified that the budget would include the addition of four new officers this year with the idea of adding two more next year. Miller noted that Tipton, Iowa, has a better ratio of officers to population than Iowa City. Council considered instituting a policy which would put more burden on the private property owner when cars are towed from the property. Housin Ins ection Fees. The cost of the HIS program is approximately 104,000 w th fees generating about $53,000. The difference is split between the general fund and a block grant. Kucharzak explained that in 1981 at the Councils request the fee structure was initially set up to generate $50,000 with base fees plus a charge per unit. The fees are $28 for a duplex, $20 + $4 per rooming unit for multifamily, and a $20 one time fee for a certificate of structure compliance. Since 1981 the department has been licensing and charging the one time fee and each year less money is generated. FY84 will bring in about $4,300 less than FY83 Just from structure compliance certificate licenses. With existing fees, the HIS budget would be over $10,000 short. A proposed increase in fee structure would make up the difference. The increase would only be about one dollar per dwelling unit per year. As proposed, the fee would be more of a burden on the smallestmultiple because of the increase in base fee be from fo$rmed26 ticy about howDiscussion mush of the total HIS buthe dgettbenraised roughthe that athllfee structure. Kucharzak will rework the proposal with the idea of maintaining the 50% departmental funding from fees. Counci�aries. Next week the Management Advisory Panel will recommend that the Council salaries remain the same and the Mayor's salary be raised to $7200 from $4800. Discussion was deferred until the complete recommendations including minutes is received by the Council. 1.

The Convention and Tourism Baord will soon be operating under a deficit because it does not receive operating funds form the Hotel/Motel tax until November. The Council agreed to advance operating funds to the Board until its normal funds become available. Human Services Fundin . The Joint Hearings helped reveal ways to reduce some of the high administrative costs in Human Services through sharing of rent, telephone and equipment buying. If it does not fund the full requested by an agency, the Council will explain the areas it wants provided.

Rape Victim Advocac- Mintle reported that the Rape Victim Advocacy Program ,s requesting an additional position (assistant director) with funding to be split between the City and County. Mintle does not recommend funding at this time. The Mayor suggested that all the agency's telephone services be examined to determine if needless duplication is occurring, for instance in the Domestic Violence, Crisis Center and Rape Victim Advocacy Programs. Council consensus was for providing $8969 funding for the Rape Victim Advocacy Program. Domestic Violence. $8250 was approved with no discussion.

It was considered desirable to allow the builder at.36 Ellis to protect the existing construction by putting in the bearing walls in the basement sufficient to support the deck, then deck over the basement, and backfill it. Area residents shouldn't think that construction is continuing. Allowing the builder to protect his work might affect the City's position in a future legal matter by swaying a judge's decision because so much of the construc- tion is already done. On the other hand, if the builder is not allowed to t._ protect existing work, the City might be sued for permitting the work to not be protected from the elements. Questions concerning the City's liability will be referred to the City Attorney. The permit for the work was issued by the Building Department and not the City Council. 7.Summer Schedule. The Mayor reminded the Council that it had to be present for pub is hearings and formal votes through the summer. j i t I I i K MICROFILMED BY !JORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS-DE040INES JI J. INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION FEBRUARY 22, 1983 Informal Council Discussion: February 22, 1983, at 4:30 PM, in the Conference Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding. Councilmembers Present: Neuhauser, Balmer, Dickson, Lynch, McDonald, Perret. Absent: Erdahl. Staff Members Present: Berlin, Helling, Jansen, Karr, Schmeiser Tape Recorded: Reel 83-3, Side 2, M1-1481 - --• -�r• a� NIC 6u -i zone ,s very similar to the present CO zone, permitting any type of office use plus compatible uses. He referred the Council to the additional regulations section covering other permitted uses. The CO -1 zone does permit multi -family uses unlike the current CO zone. The CO -1 designation stands for Commercial Office with a floor area ratio of 1. A11 commercial and industrial development is measured by the floor area ratio instead of the density requirements of residential. A floor area ratio of 1 indicates that a one story building could cover the entire lot, a two story building could cover half the lot, etc. CB -8, for example, could have an 8 story building cover an entire lot in the downtown business district. In the CO -1 zone, Group Care facilities refer to the Additional Regulations section. Provisional uses are considered acceptible in a zone but not the primary use of the zone. Neighborhood Commercial Zone (CN -1) CN 1 is ana 09OU5 to the current C-1 zone but the C-1 is less conducive to maintaining the neighborhood. Grocery stores and drug stores are the primary use but barbershops, Laundromats, etc. would also be permitted. The provision's wording will be changed to prohibit filling stations from within 100 feet of residential zones. Communit Commercial Zone (CC -2) uv c is intended to be the general commercial zone and is most similar to the current C2 zone. It permits most commercial uses including CN -1 uses. Riverside Drive would be CC -2. Existing auto oriented uses would be permitted but additions will be subject to approval by the Board of Adjustment as special exceptions. Some parts of South Riverside Drive could be zoned Highway Commercial (CH -1) if it currently is primarily service stations. Central Business Zone (CB -8) Schmeiser stated that the Central Business Zone is the same as the current Central Business Zone with building allowed to 8 stories high occupying the full lot or 16 stories high occupying half the lot. There are incentives under special provisions for businesses conforming to the off-street loading requirements or providing for pedestrial zones. Schmeiser explained the CB -8 side yard and lot width requirement will be forthcoming. t - 1 4f ; MICROFILMED BY t±'' !JORM MICROLAB j CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1401NES I N r Intensive Commercial Zone (CI -1) Schmeiser stated that the CI -1 zone is for land consumptive commercial use such as Mobile Home sales. An area of South Gilbert will be CI -1. The maximum of 50% retail display is meant to limit retail uses in other areas of the community. Concrete and cement operations will be eliminated from the special exception provision. The location of dwelling units in the zone was an area of concern to . the Planning and Zoning Commission. Office and Research Park Zone (ORP) The ORP is the same as the current zone. An example is at the intersection of Highway 1 and I-80. The Council decided to change hotels, motels and restaurants from permitted uses to special exceptions. General Industrial Zone (I-1) The I-1 zone is very similar to M-1 but limited to general industrial uses. Council discussed whether chemical and allied products manufacture should be allowed. Schmeiser noted that the forthcoming performance standards will help limit objectionable uses. Council discussed zoning out heavy industrial use entirely. Heavy Industrial Zone (I-2) I-2 zone will be rewritten by Planning and Zoning Department to eliminate uses deemed inappropriate. Council will be provided with a list of possible uses to evaluate. The permitted uses under I-2 will be switched to special exceptions under I-1. Public Zone P e u Ic one is all areas owned by some governmental body. Lynch suggested zoning Public Zones with a residual zone which would control property reverting to private use and zoning city property, currently zoned under Public Zones, with the standard zones. Berlin noted that the City already develops in accordance with city performance standards. Schmeiser explained the special provision controlling the rezoning of property reverting to private use. Elm Grove Park and City Pipeyard were noted as examples. Council agreed to add a special provision controlling rezoning of Public Zone zoned property when it is conveyed to private ownership. Legal staff will research an exact proposal. Additional Re ulations chore ser said that most of these regulations are the same as the current ordinance. The attempt is to list uses which have unique features which should be addressed. Schmeiser said that daycare centers would only be located with access to arterial streets. A daycare center in a residential area would be permitted as a special exception. If there is a break in the use of at least six months, the special exception would expire. Drive-in theaters are, for all practical purposes, prohibited except in Ag zones. The additional regulations are only in effect zones where noted. Residential Zones Neuhauser said that she has received complaints about four unrelated people being allowed in single family zones. Council agreed that more restrictive language would eliminate roomers. The new ordinance does require an additional parking space for each roomer. The legal staff will provide additional information to Council.

Executive Session Moved by Balmer, seconded by McDonald, to adjourn to executive session under Section 28A.5b, to discuss strategy with counsel in matters that are presently in litigation or where litigation is imminent where its disclosure would be likely to prejudice or disadvantage the position of the governmental body in that litigation. The Mayor declared the motion carried unanimously, 6/0, Erdahl absent. Council returned to open session. Hiahwav 1 North Protect (Robert Henely, IDOT) i Henely reported that on May 10 the IDOT would be letting the widening and resurfacing of Highway 1 on the north edge of Solon, through Solon, and to Dubuque Road in Iowa City. From just north of Dubuque Road to just south Of the I-80 interchange, Highway 1 will be widened and deepened in order to give a 24 foot roadway with 8 foot shoulders. The pavement will have imprinted striping at the 12 foot line and the centerline to delineate between the travel portion of the roadway and the paved shoulders. The rest of Highway 1 will be widened to 24 feet with 8-10 foot rock shoulders. IDOT is building a 31 foot back-to-back pavement within Solon. Highway 1 was widened from Solon to Highway 30 two years ago using similar construction to what is planned from Iowa City toSolon. The section from Dubuque Road to I-80 is not called a bikeway or sidewalk, although bicycle and pedestrian traffic will not be prohibited. State Code indicates that on a primary extension (such as this) IDOT has final determination on signing and will not allow bikeway signs. IDOT currently has $55 million Of tort liability claims filed against it and wishes to limit further liability. Henlely explained that although the construction starts about 300 feet northeast of Dubuque Road, resurfacing will continue back another 800 feet. Neuhauser said that she has been contacted by a citizen concerned about northeast bound traffic on Highway 1 creating a hazard when stopping to turn into the Hy -Vee Grocery Store because following vehicles cannot pass on the right side. Henely explained that the state is not responsible for movement on city streets but USTEP (Urban State Traffic Engineering Program) allows for such work to be done if dangerous intersections need to be corrected. That intersection would be delayed while redesigning took place but the rest of the project could proceed. Henely stated taht the section meets all the State's qualifications for conversion to four lanes with a 53 foot back-to-back from Dodge and t ! MICROFILMED BY ':JORM MICRO_ LAB r! CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 01 W 2 Governor. The Council will write to the Commission stating that the City considers the expansion to four lanes as very important. Henely said that Benton and Riverside will be let April 12, 1983, and that there are no right-of-way problems. There will be problems with access to properties on the west side. The project is to take a maximum of 60 working days with completion during the last week of August. Work will include widening, paving and traffic signals. Henely reported that depending on Federal Highway funds allocation, the paving and relocation of Highway 218 should have contracts let this winter. The facility won't be available until 1984. Henely said that the City's Iowa Avenue and Burlington Street bridge applications are being considered. Berlin noted that the City hopes to get a reply by this fall or early winter. Henely stated that upon a request from the City, IDOT will do a Burlington Street speed study and make recommendations. Vacation of Easement for Wolf Avenue (Frank Farmer) Farmer explained that VA Hospitals requested that Iowa City vacate its easement over VA land so that VA could build a parking facility at the intersection of Wolf Avenue and Newton Road with a driveway onto Wolf Avenue. The City proposed that the driveway should be onto Newton Road for safety reasons and VA agreed. The driveway and parking is for shuttles and ambulances but not staff, patient or public parking. Dickson and Perret expressed a concern that there would be too many entrances onto Newton Road in a short space. Neuhauser noted that the new drive is for access to the proposed $28 million VA building and that the staff design is better than the original VA proposal. 521 Kirkwood Rezonin Councilmembers, City staff and Iowa City citizens discussed the rezoning of 521 Kirkwood. Iowa Citians understood that with M1 zoning there would be a minimum unit size of 6000 square feet instead of the 1800 square feet allowed by RNC - 20, therefore permitting a maximum of 16 units with M1 instead of the 58 permitted under RNC -20. They would rather let the property remain M1 until the new zoning ordinance goes into effect and take the chance that it might be put to an undesirable use. The neighborhood is resigned to accept M1 because there seems to be more control over use and noise. An area traffic sassnt felt apartments would.ce in Worries were aexpress d generate apartment parking congesting side streets. Particular concerns are the long term effect of traffic density and loss of the quality and dignity of the neighborhood if disgruntled residents move out of the area. A petition was submitted with the signatures of five of six property owners near the affected property. MICROFILMED BY i?i' '.JORM MICROLAB j CEDAR RAPIDS•DES'1401 S- r l -3 ff Knight and Seward commented about alternatives to the RNC -20 rezoning. With R1B zoning, 15 rental units would be permitted and R3 would allow 35 units on the 2.4 acre tract. Even at less than maximum possible density, 1h parking spaces per unit generally results with some on -street parking. With the current zoning, trees could be removed and 15 units built while the Large Scale Residential Development has tree coverage requirements. Planning and Zoning considered only the current request and not all the other possibilities. The Comprehensive Plan doesn't mean to be site specific but rather to show general areas of land use with boundaries between uses separated by transitional zones. The proposed RNC -20 is deemed a more appropriate transitional zone than RS8 or RN8-16. CBS is not an appropriate zone because it is specifically meant to be adjacent to the downtown business district. The City doesn't have a commercial zone that would encourage a mix of transitional uses. A planned area development is an overlay zone (a zone created specifically for a property based on the property owner's submitted plan) which would allow the same density as the existing zone but with alterantive types of housing, clustering, different setbacks or other innovations. It must be owner initiated.. Councilmembers discussed various aspects of the rezoning. Balmer felt that the traffic would be a problem with the proposed apartment complex and that a small commercial and residential mix would be more appropriate. Perret concurred and noted that trees currently serve as a buffer from the manufacturing and warehouses to the west. Lynch noted that if nothing is done it will be developed as zoned into something like a factory which is not transitional. Neuhauser said that if Planning and Zoning doesn't wish to recommend a lesser density, the Council must decide whether to override both the Planning and Zoning and property owner's request. She noted that under Iowa law, anything appropriate to a zone is allowed and the Council cannot ask or dictate specific uses made of a property. This is a unique ! parcel because it is being changed from industrial to residential. The Council wants to save neighborhoods but the City is under pressure by the expanding university to provide housing. The Council must allow the property owner to use the property for its best use. If the owner cannot make economic use of the property and asks for rezoning, the City is hard pressed to deny the request simply because the neighbors don't want it changed. If the developer and neighbors could sit down together, perhaps an agreement could be reached. Rigler, the property owner, assumed that the property would be rezoned when it was purchased two years ago.If it is not rezoned then he would have to sell. The property that he developed at the corner of Governor and Jefferson is a nice improvement and of top quality. Rigler stated that he wouldn't remove any tress unnecessarily. Urban Fringe Urban Fringe will be discussed at the regular Council meeting. Council Time 1. Berlin reported that the final draft of the Arbor Drive drainage report is nearly ready. Y, MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES 4 2. Balmer raised the possibility of housing being built near the City's Elm Grove Park. 3. Balmer noted that the Quarterly Summary Reports still left questions on the compressed natural gas program. Helling and Berlin responded that a engineer is working with Berlin to solve the problem, with preliminary evaluations done this month. In response to another question from Balmer, Berlin said that the Safety Committee in FY83 is designed to minimize insurance costs and workman's compensation payments. Balmer questioned the purpose of blood pressure screening by firefighters. The blood pressure screening doesn't take away from normal firefighting duties. Balmer inquired about the City's contact with the County regarding the ambulance issue. Berlin and Neuhauser said that there has not been any contact. The State Attorney General said that the County's funding of the ambulance program from the Health Department levy is legal which relieves much of the pressure on the County. 4. Neuhauser said that a tour should be taken of the North Branch Dam; the Lower Ralston Creek project; Tanglewood, Ventura, St. Ann's Drive, and Melrose Court paving projects. 5. Neuhauser expressed the concern of the League of Cities on General Revenue Sharing and the League's request to write Washington representatives. 6. A compromise agreement has been reached with cable television but now several of the cities have contacted the League of Cities urging them to rescind their action. If a special meeting is called, Neuhauser will ask the League to add an agenda item to rescind not supporting increases in funding for waste water treatment plants. 7. Neuhauser announced that there now exists a State -Local Law Center Plan that offers experienced lawyers who will represent state and local governments. 8. In response to a question from Neuhauser, Berlin said that Jansen is preparing a letter to the School Board from the Council stating that the City wouldn't move into Central Junior High if the Board moved out and the appraisal of Central will be done within a couple of weeks. The School Board has not gotten a written response from the Council. Lynch suggested the Council give quicker written responses to the School Board. 9. A schedule on MECCA funding is forthcoming. Neuhauser said that MECCA wishes to move into the airport hangar space temporarily. 10. Neuhauser said that the president of the Library Board and the Library Director should meet with the Council for an update. Then the Council can determine if it wishes to work on the library contract wtih the County or direct the library to continue negotiations. Si MICROFILMED BY i +' `JORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS•DES'1101NB 5 11. The Council travel budget needs review. Berlin said a report is forthcoming from the City Finance Director. 12. A strongly written letter will be sent to the U.S. Housing Appropria- tions Subcommittee protesting the loss of funds for the Iowa City Bus System while Houston receives $1.59 billion for a rail project. ' 13. The special or temporary permits to taxi drivers have resulted in problems with people who haven't got driver's licenses and criminal convictions. A new ordinance will be drawn outlining the entire procedure and a memo will be sent to Council explaining problems. 14. The policy on liquor permits has not been followed. The 30 -day courtesy notice from the City follows the official 60 -day state notice that the liquor permits are up for renewal. Neuhauser and Lynch suggested that a letter stating that the permit holder is responsible for renewal and no exceptions will be made should be sent to all permit holders. Recurring problems with Towncrest Inn prompted discussion. The City Clerk noted that the deadline for getting items on the agenda is 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Occasionally ! dram shot insurance information isn't received until Thursday noon. i Councilmembers directed Karr to write a policy concerning this matter. They will review it at next Monday's meeting. 15. The Elderly Day Care Program wishes to use the second floor of the Senior Center which would entail additional maintenance of $347 inclusive for FY83. Neuhauser said that the University should be told that the City does not provide direct services for the University program. 16. Neuhauser noted that the pending list is undated and some things are carried over perpetually. For instance, revenue from Public Housing Sites remains on the pending list but is no longer an issue. 17. Lynch said that he, the Mayor, and Balmer met with a representative from a Kansas City corporation which wishes to privately build Iowa City's new sewage treatment plant and buy the sewer system. A detailed analysis for the Council will follow. r; C I ! MICROFILMED BY VF �JORM MICROLAB ! CEDAR RAPIDS•DES'1401NE5 - 0 SPECIAL INFORMAL COUNCIL DISCUSSION APRIL 5, 1983 Special Informal Council Discussion: April 5, 1983. Councilmembers Present: Perret, Neuhauser, McDonald, Dickson, Balmer Absent: Erdahl, Lynch Staffinembers Present: Berlin, Helling, Jansen, Karr, Schmeiser Tape -Recorded: Reel 83-3, Side 1 entire, Side 2 #1-1795. Schmeiser noted the items needed to be completed from earlier sections of the zoning review: 1) The number of roomers in the more restrictive'residential zones. 2) Uses in industrial zones should be studied to determine whether there are other uses of industrial use that should be excluded or prohibited from being developed in Iowa City and look at performance standards to determine if the Council wishes to separate some of the uses from I1 zones and place them in I2 zones and vice versa. Planning and Zoning had listed the uses permitted in I2 zone as a special exception in the I1 zone which would require approval by the Board of Adjustment subject not only to the requirements but other special provisions that the Board of Adjustment could attach to the request for a special exception for certain kinds of use. ( New items for review include: 1) Accessory uses and accessory use building regulations; {i f 2). Off-street loading requirement regulations; 3) Dimensional requirements; 4) Board of Adjustment and its power to grant modifications through i special exceptions rather than variances; i j5) Tree regulations requirement change for residential use - the requirement for one tree for every 550 square feet of floro area of residential use has been eliminated by staff recommendation; i 6) And performances standards include a new provision for Council review. 1. RS -5 Roomers (Revised draft 3-16-03, pg. 21) Under Section 1-6, subparagraph C, detached single RS -5 family dwellings allow a maximum of only one roomer rather than the two roomers previously allowed and provided one additional off-street parking space. In every other residential zone, two roomers are ,.:......_ --_---moo • ---� C� MICROFILMED BY '.JORM MICRO_ LAB j CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES r _J 10 0 permitted per dwelling unit. RS -5 replaces existing R1A and RIB zones as the primary residential zone. There have been concerns expressed that since four unrelated persons may occupy a single- family dwelling, some problems have developed in the community with respect to noise and cars. The legal staff has prepared an opinion that the family may constitute two unrelated people as well as the nuclear family. If two unrelated people occupy a dwelling unit as a family and in addition two rooms are permitted, then four unrelated people would reside in a RS -5 dwelling. The RS -8 is the medium density single-family residential zone RS -5. It is not atypical to have higher density in the zero lot line dwellings and duplexes of RS -8. The number of people permitted in a rooming house would be roughly equal to the number of people permitted in a multi -family dwelling of approximately equal floor space. A lot of the land currently zoned R2 will become the more restrictive RS -8. Most other R2 areas will become RM -12 which allows the same as R2 and R3. Perret noted his preference is to have the same rooming house/one roomer per unit restrictions for RS -8 and RM -12 for simplicity's sake. The City Attorney noted that many of the single-family dwellings in Iowa City have up to three roomers and they will be allowed under non- conforming uses depending on whether they are a dwelling unit or a rooming house. The Council discussed changing the number of allowable roomers to the same figure (one or two) for RS -8 and RM -12. Letters from Tom Cilek and Sam Becker were noted re the allowed density of four unrelated people in single-family areas because of the loose definition of family. The City Attorney has prepared a memorandum summarizing the possible combinations under the existing ordinance compared with the new ordinance - both under the same definition of family. The memorandum also points out the significant variation that will occur in the RS -5 zone limiting roomers to one when additional off-street parking is provided. Currently in the R2 zone each half of a duplex could be occupied by five unrelated people with two unrelated people representing a family plus three allowable roomers. The new ordinance does not allow three roomers in any zone which results in one fewer in each side of a duplex. Reducing the allowable roomers in RM -12 to one would reduce the maximum number of people in each half of a duplex to only three. There are no figures on the occupancy of duplexes in Iowa City. Since permits aren't required for duplexes, there is no control over occupying unless a complaint is made. In response to a question from Neuhauser, Schmeiser said that instead of allowing nonconforming use to continue forever, they can be amortized much as the City did with nonconforming signs. Problems with amortization exist with determining all non -conforming units but enforcement would still be on a complaint basis. Inspections and residential appraisals will give some indication of occupancy at too high a level. Balmer suggested that the Council study the City Attorney's memorandum and then consider if one or two roomers should be allowed for both RS -8 and RM -12. Perret suggested that the definition of rooming house could be changed from dwelling with three roomers to two roomers. Schmeiser pointed out that the current definition is based on the housing code. MICRDFILMED BY I !JORM MICROLAB { CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES r - 1 J Industrial Zones (Pg. 160) Schmeiser noted that these sections of the Code are very technical and no one on City staff has the ability to regulate their use. Section 1-68, paragraph C, covering certification requires certifi- cation that performance standards can be met. The Council indicated that the wording should make it clear that it is at owner's expense and the words 'when necessary' should be removed. There is only some resemblance to the existing Iowa City ordinances. These new standards were taken from the model set of performance standards developed by the American Planning Association. The proposed Iowa City Standards were reviewed by a professor in enginereing at the University of Iowa as well as industrial engineers for Iowa -Illinois Gas & Electric Company in Davenport who have had a lot of experience helping cities develop performance standards. Berlin directed City staff (Schmeiser) to send letters to Procter & Gamble, Marti Kelly, and several others requesting input on actual application of standards. Schmeiser noted that he has requested input from several companies and no one had brought up problems. There are different performance standards required depending on the zone the use is located in. The I1 zone is more restrictive than the I2 zone if the use is located adjacent to a residential zone. In Section 1-69, paragraph a, covering smoke, the Ringelman Chart is used as a standard. Neuhauser noted that the sewage treatment plant is exempted because it cannot be shut down. She also asked about the difference between meat packing, packaging, and slaughter. Schmeiser replied that packing can include slaughter but packaging cannot. Berlin specifically reassured the Council that the proposed new zoning ordinance prohibits slaughtering operations within the city. Other operations prohibited because of odor include paper Mills and leather tanning. Specific prohibited uses are on page 62, Section 1-23, paragraph bl. Steel mills will be allowed in I2 but not I1 unless specifically prohibited by Council. The Council agreed to add steel mills to the list of prohibited uses. 3. Access�Uses (Article III, pg. 112) Schmeiser said this section lists the permitted accessory uses in each zone. The home occupations are more restrictive than the current ordinance. Calls to houses used for home occupation are limited to 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. The use of a house for a home occupation is regulated so that it does not appear in any way as anything but a dwelling• Only items made on the premises can be sold from a P meaning that cosmetics, could not be antiques or other items bought at wholesale and sold at retail at a premises. Staff is not recommending that a home occupation license is initiated. A one square foot sign is permitted under both the current and new zoning ordinances (p. 129). The home occuaption standards will only be enforced on a complaint basis. Perret said, with Neuhauser concurring, that satellite receiving devices should be banned from side yards as well as front yards. Neuhauser suggested a change prohibiting satellite receiving devices from roofs as well (pg. 153- 4). In commercial areas there could be requirements prohibiting view from the street but the Council will not add restrictions at this rr' i MICROFILMED BY '.JORM MICROLAB It`I CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES )r time. Council agreed that satellite receiving devices should be prohibited from side yards and roofs. 4. The additional regulations (Section 1-51, pg. 106) are similar to the present ordinance. Certain uses are permitted in certain zones subject to section limitations. Day care centers and preschools are concerned with the proposed requirements limiting their use and they will submit a draft of alternative regulations. The day care centers and preschools are particularly worried about not being allowed in RS -5 zones becaues of complaints about early morning high traffic levels and the number of cars on local streets. Ten of 21 day care centers in Iowa City are in RS -5 zones. Other communities seem not to have a problem with this. Neuhauser noted that the larger the, center, the less appropriate they are to RS -5 zones. The centers recommend the maximum of 20 children. The Council will study the centers' recommendations before reaching a decision. Drive-in theaters as limited by regulations are probably not very probable as new Iowa City businesses, said Neuhauser. Schmeiser said elderly housing provisions are unchanged. The zero lot line zone is RS -8. Jim Maynard put together a zero lot line study to which the Council can refer. The study says that the zero lot line design cannot be controlled through conventional zoning. While a five foot side yard is deemed sufficient, ten feet are required of dwellings on the non -zero lot line side. In Coralville a duplex on a 6000 square foot lot can later be divided into two units on 3000 square feet separated by a one-hour firewall. In Iowa City either a two-hour firewall or two one-hour firewalls are required. Neuhauser said that the less stringent Coralville standards on firewalls and utility connections are not appropriate !' for Iowa City --essentially the houses should stand on their own. The proposed lot size for Iowa City is 4000 square feet. Coralville's smaller requirement for zero lot line was attractive to much of the Council and they will consider it. Staff will examine whether a one - or two-hour firewall should be used to separate zero lot line dwellings. The major reason that duplexes can be built on smaller lots than the corresponding zero lot line units is that duplexes maintain a common yard. Neuhauser noted that requirements are not meant to be restrictive to imaginative design and perhaps the zoning ordinance should help encourage more freedom in design by dictating only minimal requirements. The State Fire Marshal recommends 12 feet between buildings. The Council agreed to allow zero lot line dwellings in RM -12 zones at RM -12 density rather than RS -8 density as initially proposed but single-family dwellings in RM -12 will still be at RS -8 density. Schmeiser pointed out that there is only positional difference between a detached single-family house and a zero lot line house. Neuhauser replied that the different lot size is appropriate because it encourages a variety of housing types in RM -12. In Fort Collins there are clusters of different types of housing and Iowa City only has such clustering on Friendship bewteen Court and Washington. Schmeiser argued that market forces encourages clustering of different kinds of housing on the same 4, MICROFILMED BY +„ `.JORM MICRO_ LAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES J street. The only difference between a zero lot line unit and a condominium is that a zero lot line unit includes ownership of part of the lot while the condominium does not. The proposed zoning ordinance gives more flexibility on yard regulations and a greater provision for different types of housing without resorting to a PAD. Schmeiser said that low-cost housing is primarily achieved by zero lot line housing and the Manufactured Housing Zone (RMH). The Council decided to listen to developers, as well as Kucharzak and Siders, before deciding on minimum lot sizes for RM -12. Treefree regions (Section 1-66 and 1-67, pg. 155) differs from the present zoning ordinance. The present ordinance has three sets of requirements for trees: 1) trees along R.O.W.; 2) trees for residential use; and 3) trees along parking. The proposed ordinance essentially ends the requirements for trees for residential use based on square foot area because the requirements now require one tree for every 550 square feet of floor area is excessive. Single- familis exemt from tree rerements because ily h meowners do their own land capinguiThe existing ordinanceldoes mnot exempt duplexes while the proposed ordinance does. Schmeiser noted that in one case a 12 unit apartment house had to have 16 trees in the front yard to meet the current tree requirement. Perret pointed out that because the rest of the lot was paved, all the trees were forced into the front yard. The Council will look at some problem areas before deciding on omitting the residential tree requirement. The requirement on trees in parking areas is the same under both the current and proposed ordinances. A 12-plex is the largest complex Possible without requiring trees in the parking Bras. Sections 1-61 through 1-65, outline dimensional requirements. Schmeiser noted that the provision of Section 1-64, paragraph b, is to enable special exceptions to be made rather than variances which may only be made in case of unnecessary hardship as required by State law. This will allow greater flexibility. Hot tubs are mentioned in the proposed ordinance but not the current ordinance. If a hot tub or pool is allowed in the front yard of a hotel, it would have to be screened. Height exceptions are in addition to the special exceptions under the regulatory ordinance for a public utility franchise. Other Council Discussion During the meeting a request for a special meeting was turned down to vote on approval of the liquor license for Towncrest Inn. All the Papers were in order with the dram shop insurance notification in the mail. The Mayor will personally contact Council members who chronically miss Council meetings without prior notification.

Informal Council Discussion April 11, 1983 Informal Council Dis fecussion: April 11, 1983, at 4:30 p.m. in the Conrence Room at the Civic Center. Perret presiding. Councilmembers Present: Perret, Balmer, Lynch, Erdahl, Dickson, McDonald Absent: Neuhauser Staffinembers Present: Berlin, Helling, Karr, Jansen, Zehr, Knight, Franklin, Schmeiser, Boothroy, Farmer, Holderness, McGonagle, Siders Tape -Recorded: Tape #83-5, Side 1, #1-2058 Applications to Planning and Zoning Commission: (Knight, Franklin) Rezone 624 S. Gilbert Street, C2 to R34. Franklin explained that a though the Nm";e;iiW Plan Update and proposed Zoning Ordinance dont show housing, residential in this area is an appropriate use. Knight said that a staff report is forthcoming and that the request to schedule a public hearing prior to Planning and Zoning Commission action i was done to expediate the whole process. Rezone 521 Kirkwood Avenue, M1 to RNC -20. Applicant requested action be postponed until April 18th. Off-street Parking Areas: Discussion deferred to later agenda item. Rezone .93 acres vicinity of Van Buren and Johnson, M1 to RX Erdahl —discouraged collapsing the readings. He will meet with Franklin to discuss this rezoning. Perret inquired about the required minimum distances between buildings with housing units and railway R.O.W. The Van Buren Village parking design meets the new design standards. Lot 31 Strebs Second Addition. Applicant requested the Council to defer resolutions untl later date. i Airport Report (Jansen) In an April 11, 1983, conference phone call with Jansen and Fred Zehr, Mel Fisher (head of FAA's compatible use requirements for airports, Kansas City) stated that the FAA is sending Iowa City a letter strongly objecting to the locating of the R Plaza Project in the Iowa City airport's clear zone. FAA requirements prohibit residential developments in a clear approach zone. Fisher said the City should stop the development but was told the City had no legal basis for doing so. In a subsequent conference phone call with Berlin, Jansen, Sasser (FAA regional chief) and Brennan (FAA regional attorney), Sasser said that this is a safety issue and the Iowa City grant application for $200,000 runway improvements is in jeopardy. After general discussion, Council agreed that the City Manager, Jansen, airport staff,and the developer would work on the problem and report back to the Council. MICROFILMED BY '_JORM MICROLAB ( CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES. r _/ J Off-street Parking The Council agreed to vote on the off-street parking requirements at their regular meeting. Attorney William Sueppel expressed concern about his client's difficulty with proceeding with land development because of the lack of a standard for parking requirements. Policy on Individual Rezoning Applications (Boothroy) Boothroy reviewed the April 5, 1983, memo sent to the Council and noted the concerns of handling both individual rezoning applications and public hearings on the proposed zoning ordinance. Perret suggested that the Planning and Zoning Commission should not expedite rezoning applications and waive readings or time requirements. Bus Shelters The Council requested that Larry McGonagle, Transit Manager, bring recommendations to the Council on the locations for bus shelters. McDonald recommended that a shelter be placed.on Westminister and Court. Shamrock/Friendship/Arbor Drainage Problems The City Manager explained that the most expensive solution (a full culvert) to the Shamrock -Friendship -Arbor flooding problem is also the most satisfactory, although expensive. No more than 30 houses are affected by the flooding. Farmer explained that the channel upstream from Shamrock will not hold the water from a five foot storm, so any solution must include improving the channel. Merely improving the channel wouldn't significantly' improve the situation without also installing a new culvert. The total cost per house for the culvert and channel improvement could approach $10,000. The problem should not become worse with future construction to the east because of required retention basins which would have to be installed where unimproved land currently doesn't hold the water. Berlin said that an expensive project would have to be funded either from the General Obligation budget or from GO bonds which would raise the costs considerably. Farmer said that a steel tube would be impractical because it would have to be larger than a concrete culvert to handle the same amount of water. A special assessment would have to include the entire 175 acre drainage area as a project. Balmer said that revenue sharing might be a possibility also. Berlin recommended that any solution must provide a significant improvement or expectations would be falsely raised. He is concerned that a partial solution that would increase water flow would create more problems such as erosion. Lynch questioned whether this is the last area in the City with major water management problems. Only about four houses in the Shamrock area actually have flooding in the houses and the rest have flooded yards. Farmer will look at all alternatives and consider financing solutions with the Director of Finance. St. Ann's Drive/Other Paving Farmer said that on a cost share basis, the ten percent allowed for engineering would be spent regardless of how the project proceeds. The .r' I Y, +i MICROFILMED By ;JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOIRES r J a ten percent allowed as a margin for error can be eliminated with good planning. Berlin said funding could come from revenue sharing, Block Grant money from the jobs bill, or GO bonds. The 75 percent funding by the City referred to in a memo is only an alternative. Balmer noted that since the property owners benefit from the improvements, they should share the cost, especially on the street portion. The Council agreed that sidewalks could be financed with Community Development money. Berlin said staff would present an estimate of costs if the City used Block Grant money for sidewalks where lots are developed, absorbed overhead costs, and distributed actual construction costs of paving on a variety of formulas. He added that it must be taken into account that some people charged for the cial asssment benefiltrandment under the peopleawhoeactually benefita ashould payre actuall. BillvCasey,remoed fromthe 2039 Tanglewood Street, presented pictures of his streets and spoke in favor of the City improving and/or maintaining the street. Lynch said there is a consensus of the Council to deal with the situation and it is a matter of deciding how. Numerous citizens spoke against an assessment for St. Ann's Drive project because of the high cost to benefit ratio. Lynch suggested getting recommendation from staff and then setting a public hearing. Urban Fringe Issues Erdahl stated that commercial development would be allowed on the commercial side but not the county side of I-518 in Area 8. There is a Problem with asking the County to keep half of a prime intersection limited to agricultural use. Therefore, the County will develop a long- , term plan of the area as commercial development. The City will not annex the area and the County will guarantee compatible development. The County is developing site plan standards for commercial development such as highway commercial which will control what would happen there. The County currently doesn t have standards that sufficiently control land use so they are developing the appropriate standards, and will issue a report on them to the City in two months. Area 7 will be primarily agricultural, possibly with residential along Highway 1 where additional streets would not need to be provided. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors might rezone to assure that the area would remain agricultural. In Areas 3 and 4 as well as some other areas, the City proposed three levels of subdivision standards to deter growth but also have better county roads in subdivisions which aren't to be annexed into the City. The County offered a counter -proposal to develop more stringent county subdivision requirements for the County. Staff will give the Urban Fringe Committee a report on Areas 2, 3, and 4 at the next meeting. All the areas will be reported on by the June meeting which allows three months to work out a final agreement. Council Time I. Erdahl noted that the City needs an Airport Commission to meet certain funding requirements. 2. Agenda items 6 and 8. Balmer noted that although the involved properties need to be elevated four feet, actually it won't be necessary because of improvements already made. Berlin stated that the bidding parties knew that the property would have to be elevated Y f~ j 4; ( MICROFILMED BY `.JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES `rI 4 when the bids were made. Helling explained that it would be six months before the process would be completed including the remapping which would negate the necessity to elevate the properties. Remapping involves computer models, preliminary drawings, and federal work. Croker has applied for a variance to the elevation requirement. Staff is hesitant to recommend approval until the remapping is done. Berlin explained that although the City has reserved a 20 foot maintenance area next to Ralston Creek there has been no decision on public ownership. 3. Agenda item 10b - Vacancies. The Council noted that Vander Zee was the Housing Commission representative on Committee for Community Needs. 4. Agenda item '18. Balmer suggested that the City Clerk ask to be exempted from jury duty if asked. The Council discussed the practicality of asking her to request exemption. It was noted that if she is required to serve she should be paid her full City salary minus the jury duty fee. 5. Alley between Van Buren and Johnson. In response to a question from Erdahl, Berlin explained that a report would be forthcoming about the alley. 6. Letter from Transit Drivers. Perret reported that he has received a letter from 33 City bus drivers expressing concern about the safety in the Washington Street bus loading area downtown. He noted that there are inherent conflicts in the area among buses, pedestrians, automobiles, and bicycles that should be discussed at an informal Council discussion. Members of the JCCOG staff are doing part of the Federal Highway Administration case study, Impacts on Improvements. Berlin.will get appropriate materials to the Council for study and bus drivers will be notified of the informal discussion. 7. Vandalism. In reply to McDonald, Berlin said that while there has been some damage to automobiles in parking ramps, most of the damage has been to the structure itself. 8. QuikTrip Letter. Perret stated he was not especially sympathetic to requests for special consideration on sign variances. 9. Berlin requested and received clarification on the timing of his bonus. 10. In a memo from the Finance Director, the Council received information on the travel budget and considered a FY84 adjustment. Berlin pointed out that special programs and projects often demand extra travel. Erdahl suggested realistic limitations on travel and suggested that a policy be formulated. 41 'i MICROFILMED BY � t!fi' IJORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES l J r Informal Council Discussion May 16, 1983 Informal Council Discussion: May 16, 1983 at 7:40 p.m. in the Conference Room at the Civic Center.

Mayor Neuhauser will send a special thank you letter to Tim Brandt. House Moving Ordinance Balmer inquired if a new house moving ordinance is needed. Berlin said that specific problems in the past prompt the need for a new ordinance. Mike Kucharzak will report to Council about the changes in the ordinance. 70 Acre Annexation on Southeast Side (Franklin) Franklin explained that none of the 70 acres is being planned for residential development. Ty'n Cae Part III is located west of the 70 acres with a natural drainage area between the residential and commercial developments. The north part of Ty'n Cae Part III will include storm water management. West Side Company has been told that some type of buffering will be required between the commercial development and residential area located to the west. Maps of this area were made available to the Council. Franklin said that previously 30 acres was zoned commercial and 40 acres was zoned residential by the County Zoning Board. Two things prompted the Planning Department to look at changing the 40 acres to commercial: 1) the developer wanted all 70 acres to be zoned commercial and 2) the Planning Department, when looking the interchanges at Melrose and at Highway 1, wanted to direct residential development towards Melrose. This would encourage commercial development at the southern Highway 1 interchange and residential development at the northern Melrose interchange. Franklin said that the area will probably be zoned CH and CI -1 with the new zoning. Lynch expressed a concern about a large shopping center being built by the developers. Neuhauser noted that the commercial zoning in this area would prohibit potential manufacturing developments. Berlin suggested that they should look at the new ordinance's manufacturing zones or consider expanding the commercial zones to include manufacturing that would not be incompatible with its planned use. Perret expressed concern about zoning such a large area as 70 acres entirely commercial. Franklin said that the applicant wanted to be annexed only if commercial zoning would be considered. The 70 acres has been annexed by resolution. A voluntary annexation took place with fir'" I 1, !

McDonald noted that the Fringe Committee is working on a Planned Site Development within the commercial zone. Central Junior High Neuhauser uestions: cash settlement dand o2) if they do,1 howo muchheisCacceptable? des touncil want tJanseninoted that it is difficult to calculate a proper cash settlement amount or know what the reversionary interest is worth due to the lack of objective standards, although there may exist some type of accounting analysis. McDonald asked if the $50,000 would legally fulfill the obligation to the public. Erdahl stated that the Council has an oglibation to look out for the public interest relative to the use of the land. Perret agreed that the Council should have some input as to how the land would be used. Jansen said that it may be possible to accept $50,000 with a covenant or agreement allowing the City input into the property's use. Berlin noted that the issue should be resolved promptly so that the school board will use the land appropriately. Lynch suggested that the public purpose obligation could be fulfilled by earmarking the money for a specific use. Neuhauser suggested that the City would settle for 10% of the proceeds from the sale of the land and that the money be reserved for a park fund. Council agreed to contact the school board regarding the Council interest in a percentage figure based on actual sale. The 10% amount has been referred, to the City Attorney and the Council will consider public uses of the land -for which the school board would not have to pay anything. Burlington Street Bridge Project A consultant explained that previous repairs to the bridge have included taking off part of the north sidewalk, widening the roadway, replacing the south sidewalk and replacing the north side curb. He noted that maintenance costs would be high on a new structure due to the type of structure. The project would close the bridge for 10-12 months and would require detouring traffic to the north side bridge and making it two-way traffic. Schmadeke explained that funding may be available in FY85, depending upon the availability of federal monies. Council agreed with the Public Works recommendation to rehabilitate the existing structure. Vehicle Uses of Transit Interchange Area Berlin stated that John Lundell and Jeff Davidson are preparing a report regarding alternatives and solutions for sidewalks, etc. Councilmembers reviewed the traffic volume counts and discussed alternative routes for the volume of traffic if the Washington interchange were closed.

Glasgow discussed the proposed plat lay -out with Councilmembers and explained that the planned development would offer older Iowa Citians appropriate housing and the terrain is more suitable for condominium development. Lynch suggested staging development until sewer problems are resolved. McDonald noted that the Council previously agreed to honor plans by Plum Grove, Highlander and BDI and that any further development would be restricted until the sewer problems are resolved.

Project Hope Neuhauser noted that grade school parents have complained to the Council about the proposed planned location of Project Hope. Neuhauser asked Councilmembers if Elm Grove Park would be an appropriate location for this project. Boothroy said that staff is studying the possibility of modifying the zoning ordinance to provide different parking standards for group homes. Braverman explained that the facility would accommodate 24 residences and office space. Hencin explained that the original site plan was not considered feasible due to the amount of fill required at that location and the issue of the 20 foot nonbuildable conservation easement. Councilmembers were not in favor of using Parcel D due to the objections raised by parents of the potential dangers of a halfway house being located next to a grade school. Braverman suggested building on the original site on an elevated foundation. Perret asked if Agenda Item 34 re Parcel D, would have to be deferred. Berlin indicated that the Council may not want to defeat it if the Council is not interested in using Parcel D for Project Hope. Budget Amendments Data Processing. Kimball explained that it was taking longer to get the general ledger on the in-house computer, so the City is still having to send the expenditures out until the end of May. Urban Planned Development Pg 18. Kimball explained that the $134,000 includes Shive-Hattery expenses along with Zuchelli. Fire Prevention and Safety Inspector Pg 19. Balmer asked why an extra amount is included. Kimball explained that in Fy83, CDBG would only pay for one half of the position and the other half would be funded out of the general fund.

Councilmembers discussed alternative traffic routes, pedestrian traffic and cost participation by property owners. Councilmembers agreed to doing the project if everyone would give easements. Berlin said funding would be under GO bonds, closer to FY85. Neuhause noted that the Council and staff need to watch budget amendments and project expenditures closely. Dubuque Street -Iowa Ave. td Park Rd. Berlin said that the width of the street still needs to be resolved. Councilmembers agreed that the street needs j improvement and that there is a safety factor.* Perret noted that IDOT wants it to be widened at least 4 feet to obtain State funding.

The majority of the changes involved language changes, removing "or" throughout the ordinance and giving clearer direction of responsibility. Also the amendment states times of the move, better programming of the move, permit requirements, the use of floodlighting, and insurance amounts. Appointments Majority of Councilmembers agreed to appoint Cindy Parsons to the Resources Conservation Commission and Danel Trevor (Borts) to the Housing Commission. FAA (Zehr) Zehr spoke with Mel Fischer and reviewed the City's proposal to shorten runway #17/35 by 3001. The FAA feels that shortening the runway would hamper the airport's serviceability by being below the minimum requirements for a transport airport. Alternatives were that the City extend another runway, costing $489,450, or buy out the developer. Erdahl strongly noted that the Reagan administration must want to close down all small airports. Berlin reviewed his conversation with Senator Jepsea and Mr. Conrad, and stated that it apears that p the FAA has misconceptions about the situation. Councilmembers agreed that the City should meet with FAA officials and that a chronology of the airport's events be forwarded to the FAA and Jepsen's office. in- 4.

Proposed Zoning Ordinance Discussion with Local Developers Neuhauser stated that this meeting is for the Council to get input from local developers on the proposed zoning ordinance, particularly with housing related issues. Pat Moore, 152 Bowling Green, stated that a zero lot line ordinance is needed soon to enable builders to build less costly housing. Coralville's zero lot line standards with some revisions would be acceptable. He said that the City should review the tree and parking requirements; expand bus service to new apartment complex areas; the energy code is too vague; and a new sewer plant is needed. Mike Furhman, 2305 Cae Drive, agreed that Coralville's zero lot line ordinance is a good model. He stated that there should be a simpler process for review of proposed land development. He concluded also that the parking requirements should be reviewed regarding the requirements for parking near the downtown area. Paul Bender, 335 South Clinton Street, stated that parking requirements were too strict in the central business district. Larry Schnihjer, 465 Highway 1 West, suggested that peripheral storage lots for apartment parking be planned. Charles Ruppert, 1406 North Dubuque Road, explained that the tree ordinance was too costly for developers. Ralph Stoffer, 1902 Broadway, distributed a handout (letter to Mayor Neuhauser) that reviewed possible methods to contain and lower development costs. He expressed concern about the off-street parking requirements; storm water storage; a three-inch roll over curb; and the added costs due to the tree ordinance. He would also like to see a reduction in paper work. He cited the uselessness of preparing 14 copies of preliminary plans for Planning and Zoning. Stoffer would also like public improvements to be financed by special assessments. Bruce Glasgow, 834 N. Johnson, was concerned with the use of land around the storm water basin and the requirement that all easements must be shown on the preliminary plat. He felt that the sewer locations on lots were too restrictive. He discussed that the proposed zoning ordinance will increase nonconforming uses and cause more work for the Board of Adjustment. -- f ' MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS•DES 140INES ` r ..

Erdahl raised concerns about allowing development contiguous to the airport's clear zone. A meeting was being set up with the City and County attorneys to discuss the matter. Franklin stated that C2 zoning does include residential, although the developer is only interested in commercial and industrial development. Neuhauser said action should be deferred until absolute clarification is made with regard to the clear zone. Berlin suggested referring the matter to the Airport Commission for o evaluation. McDonald said that the area was once planned for mixed zning e and that C2 zoning would prevent that. Council directd the City Attorney to contact the applicant and explain the Council's concerns.

Southeast Side Subdivision Pro need ky Wilbert Frantz Neuhauser stated that the question is whether the subdivision can be supplied with sewer service from any place besides the "horseshoe." Speaking for Frantz, Larry Schnihjer referred to the written proposal for providing a lift station that would pump to the Burns St. sewer.

Erdahl clarified that presently one sewer is bad so instead of having gravity flow from the southeast subdivision to the problem sewer, a lift station to a different sewer is proposed. City engineers aren't sure if the original problem is with the sewer or the plant itself. Erdahl said that considerations should be 1) to find out what the problem actually is, and 2) to decide if there should be a general policy of lift stations to avoid the faulty sewer. Neuhauser, Erdahl and Balmer expressed interest in the lift station while Perret preferred not to use one due to surcharge problems.

Perret said that approval was given for the preliminary resolution but final action hasn't yet been taken. Jobs Bill Funds Transient housing: Neuhauser asked if $100,000 (instead of $125,000) is enough to buy and remodel an adequate facility. Mintle shared concerns that the $100,000 was not enough. Committee on Community Needs member explained that with the $100,000 allocation, the additional $25,000 could be raised from other sources or a smaller facility could be purchased. Neuhauser suggested that additional money be taken from the funds earmarked for the Nelson Adult Center renovation and expansion. Balmer said that he would like' to see more commitments from other sources. Erdahl suggested contacting Coralville and Johnson County for funding. Nei hb000d Paintin Project: Balmer asked how the money would be spent. rhCN member explained that money would be spent on the painting and repair of homes. Councilmembers questioned the $12,000 figure and inquired about the number of houses that would be painted. HomeRe air for Elderly: CCN explained that Elderly Services will spend 1 00 for sma home repairs. CCN member explained that CCN felt public works projects are more easily bonded by the City than human service projects. It was for that reason CCN emphasized human service projects. Neuhauser replied that it was never the intention of the City to use CDBG funds for just human service projects and bond neighborhood projects. It was only that the total funding was inadequate that bonds were used. Central Jr. High Property Neuhauser told school board members that they haven't appreciated the board's unpleasant comments about the Council. Neuhauser stated that the Council is acting in the interests of the people of Iowa City. Councilmembers asked City Attorney Jansen about the City's obligation.

Councilmembers requested from the City Attorney a legal opinion on the school board's $50,000 cash offer and about leasing the property to the University of Iowa. Neuhauser, Erdahl, Perret and Dickson prefer the City's 10% of the sale price. Council will review information from Jansen next Monday. Community Energy Study HelIing reviewed recent memorandum and stated that the staff recommendation remains unchanged. Berlin explained that the Council will have a clearer understanding of the matter when they receive reports from the franchise group and the Resource Conservation Commission. Concensus of the Council is to not proceed with the CARG Proposal, but to work with the Resource Conservation Commission. Erdahl asked if there would be a conflict in interest with allowing CARG to bid. Council Salary Erdahl explained that with more committee responsibilities, there are greater time demands put upon the Councilmembers and, therefore, a salary function better and get increase is necessitated. Neuhauser said that the Council seems to more accurate information by participating on the various task forces. McDonald agreed that the time demands are great but he would not favor pay increases. Balmer said that he could not agree to a Pay increase for Councilmembers but that the Mayor should receive additional compensation due to additional responsibilities.
