FOSTER BARKER, CRUISE & KENNEDY LAWYERS 311 IOWA AVENUE - P.O. BOX 2000 IOWA CITY, IOWA 82244 July 18, 1983 City Council City of Iowa City Civic Center 410 East Washington Iowa City, IA 52240 Re: Airport Overlay Zones Councilpersons: AREA CODE 319 TELEPHONE 381.8181 p� ^r V Once again, I am writing a letter on behalf of West Side Company and its principals, Earl Yoder, Edward Thomas, George Nagle and Charles Barker, to express their concern over the proposed Airport Overlay Zones. When I was last before this Council, my concern was that West Side Company had no way to find out how the new Overlay Zone would affect the recently annexed property. This was due to the unavailability of any Airport Height Zoning Map (referred to in proposed Section 8.10.50.3(c)(2)) showing the 34:1 slope ratio then agreed to by the F.A.A. We are now at the time set for the public hearing since it was originally continued, and although the numbers con- tained in the proposed ordinance have changed, the position of West Side Company has not. West Side Company is still opposed to the ordinance and feels that a public hearing for a reading of the ordinance is premature for the following reasons: 1. There is no map showing the slope of the approach surface zone for Runway #6 as outlined in Section 8.10.50.3(c)(1)c. Without the map, West Side Company and others affected by the proposed ordinance cannot determine exactly how their property will be affected. Therefore, as I stated on July 5, there cannot be a meaningful public hearing unless and until such a map is in existence. • I�{ MICROFILMED BY Ilj ,DORM MICROLAB' I ' CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES ■ I' i Council July 18, 1983 Page 2 2. At the meeting of the City Council on July 5, Mayor Neuhauser stated that any agreement by the F.A.A. to change the slope ratio from 34:1 should be obtained in writing. To date, neither I nor any of the individuals involved in West Side Company have seen a document from the F.A.A. agreeing to the 20:1 slope ratio. 3. The change in the slope ratio to 20:1 still places restrictions over the West Side Company property. While this cannot be absolutely verified until an Airport Height Zoning Map is made available, we believe that in some places buildings would have to be limited to 30 feet in height to keep them from penetrating the approach surface in the OA Zone. Such a restriction would amount to a taking of West Side Company property, entitling the owners to compensation from the City. For the above -stated reasons, West Side Company is in no better position than it was on July 5, since it still does not know exactly how it will be affected by the Approach Overlay Zone extending from Runway #6. Until both the City and the affected property owners have sufficient information to determine any effect, and until such time as the question of compensation has been discussed, it is the position of West Side Company that the public hearing scheduled for July 19, 1983, lacks the necessary notice and that any action on the ordinance until these points have been resolved is illegal and voidable.
