Scheduling
Perret said that the Iowa Commerce Commission has invited the City of Iowa City
to participate in an informal public hearing August 2 in Davenport at 7:00 p.m.
The City's scheduled Council meetingof August 2 would conflict with that.
Perret suggested that the Council could A) have a formal meeting August 1
consider all matters plus a very short August 2 meeting for to
the public hearings
already scheduled or 8) meet earlier in the day August 2 to consider all the

of the Lyon's Second Addition Special Alley Paving Assessment. The Council will
consider all agenda matters, except the two public hearings, on August 1 unles
the City Clerk raises an objection because of the scheduling requirements. s
Planning and Zoning
A• 522 S. 0 b ue Street, vacation of alley right-of-way. Knight said that
the C ty wants to maintain an easement over the entire width of the right-
af-way. The 121 feet directly to the south of this was previously vacated.
Richard McKeen, property owner of 522 S. Dubuque Street and the property
owner on the west side, have indicated interest in buying their respective
halves of the alley.
B. 624 Gilbert Street, public hearing on the proposed disposition of the
vacated Gilbert Street right-of-way. Knight said that this right-of-way
was vacated in 1972 and Clark have expressed an interest in purchasing it.
The Council has previously expressed a concern about using some property
for a driveway onto Gilbert Street. Knight said use may be restricted as
part of the sale.

and Lynch preferred to wait until all questions are answered but were
agreeable to waiving the readi

Airport Clear Zone
Perret noted that the City has received a petition for declaratory relief from
the Committee of Concerned Persons for Iowa City Airport Safety. Jansen said a
formal response will be required for the committee. The committee's attorney,
kl MICROFILMED BY II
'M' 'JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES
a
Nick Russo, was present. Jansen said the petition asks that the Council and the
Airport Commission hold a joint public hearing and then enter a declaratory
judgement concerning the points under items 12 and 13 of their petition. After
making a ruling on the eight points, the City would be asked to enter a judgment
requiring the City Manager to refuse an occupancy permit for the building.
Jansen said that the claim is that the petition is authorized by the City's
administrative code but it is his view that the code does not establish the
Council as an administrative agency. Iowa City's administrative code provides
for the filing of ordinance violations and then provides a hearing on appeal
from the filing of those violations and in certain other limited cases. This
petition asks the Council to make a judicial declaration and Jansen doesn't
believe that the Airport Commission has any authority to act as a judicial body
or that the Council has any power to require the Airport Commission to
participate in any joint hearing. Jansen went on to say that Iowa law holds that
a city council acts as a legislative body not a judicial body except in very
limited situations when the Council is empowered to conduct an appeal, for
instance in permit revocations. In summary, Jansen doesn't feel that the
Council has any legal duty on the Council or the Commission's part to hold a
public hearing. The City building code clearly puts the duty of denying the
issuance of the certificate of occupancy on the city building official, not the
city manager. The codes all require the certificate to be issued, then there
can be an appeal to the Board of Appeals but it cannot be ruled on in advance.
Jansen said that in the portion of the petition called the notice, certain
information is called for concerning public agreements or contracts with the
federal government, FAA regulations, records, etc. This information is public
record and certainly accessible to petitioners and may be requested from the
City Clerk, Airport Manager or City Attorney as appropriate. Perret said that a
formal reply should be prepared outlining the points Jansen just covered.
Jansen clarified that the Council may have a hearing but he would advise against
it. Berlin noted that this response in no way minimizes the City's concern. The
City recognizes the very serious nature of the problems and the City will
continue to pursue it.
Bike Regulations
Balmer took issue with the recommendation that "bicyclists use sidewalk" signs
be removed saying in some areas bicyclists should use sidewalks, especially near
schools and where major streets are narrow. Shelly Plattner of Bicyclists of
Iowa City responded that statistics show that it is safer for proficient
bicyclists (those with ability to ride in a straight line) to use streets rather
than sidewalks. The recommendation would still allow sidewalk use. There is a
problem with sidewalks that are not at least eight feet wide with painted lane
separations to allow two way traffic. Plattner added that bikes are safer in
the streets because they are more visible. Perret noted that curb cuts need to
be provided to allow bicyclists to use sidewalks. Platter said that the bicycle
lane marking should be removed because they are unsafe. Lynch said that the
sign wording doesn't really matter to him and that bicyclists need to be
integrated into a system designed for cars and pedestrians. Balmer said he
doesn't see a problem with bicycles on sidewalks. McDonald said bicycles and
motor vehicles on the same roadway always create problems but he doesn't mind
doing away with the use of sidewalk signs. Lynch said he is willing to follow
staff recommendations. Traffic Engineer Brachtel said that the streets
accommodate the increased number of bicycle commuters while allowing bicyclists
to use sidewalks. This does represent a shift in Council policy since the signs

were erected ten to twelve years ago. Staffinember Davidson said that there is a
national trend away from fixed facilities for bicycles and towards directing
them into the general traffic stream. Perret supported the recommendation.
Lynch asked for fuller discussion when the full Council is present and he asked

lane made wider to allow bicycle traffic or a bike lane provided along the right
lane. Bikes moving on the right side are statistically safer. Perret supported
a bike lane along the right side. Brachtel spoke in favor of a wider right lane
rather than a right side bike lane. Plattner noted that the Manual of Uniform
Traffic Control for Streets and Ni hwa s states that bicycle lanes should end
less than 50 feet from intersections to integrate bicycles into the
proper
traffic flow at those intersections.

information.
Council Time
I. Historic Prooerty Awards
Margaret Nowysz explained that the award is a recognition for work in
historic preservation. The Council agreed to present awards based on
Historic Preservation Commission recommendations.
2. Informal Minutes Correction. Balmer pointed out a statement by Perret
concerning the July 5 minutes of the informal Council meeting. Perret said
that he had said that the committee has given favorable approval to the
planning document that had been submitted by the transportation staff.
Included in that document was a section that dealt with the transit
iinterchange and there was a recommendation in there which hadn't really
been discussed. Minutes will be noted.
3. Parks and Recreation Minutes of June 8. Balmer noted that the minutes
state tat ,na ec,s,on on poo hours changes would be made by Berlin.
Berlin said the decision was made by Parks and Recreation and approved by
him.
4. Scott Boulevard. Balmer noted the letter from the Chamber of Commerce
encourag ng the extension of Scott Boulevard and said it was a good idea.
Lynch said three yearsi ago the economy discouraged extension but now the
project might be reconsidered. Berlin said it must be considered in light
of other transportation needs and how general development is progressing.
Local road is a particular concern and needs to be discussed with the state
and county.
Sidewalk Cafe. Balmer said it would be appropriate to wait for discussion
after hearing staff opinion. He isn't interested in the idea. Berlin said
that staff would need quite a bit of time to come up with a workable
ordinance that would limit sidewalk use appropriately. A representative of
the Amelia Erhart Deli appeared and spoke of the restaurant's interest in
pursuing the idea. Perret said that the City isn't allowed to issue a
permit until an ordinance is approved.
6. Sale of Central Junior Hi h. Balmer noted the recommendation from the
arks and ecreat on omm,ssion re the money derived from sale of Central
Junior High should be ear -marked for a specific use for Parks and
Recreation. The matter will be scheduled for discussion. Berlin reported
the final draft of the proposed sale needs to be approved by the School
Board and the Council.

actions sought with separate public hearings.

Rezoning 223 S Riverside, R1B to R3A. No discussion.
Rezoning 624 S. Gilbert Street, C2 to R3A. Jansen explained that liability
insurance has not been obtained which Lynch said may cause problems with
approval. Franklin said in terms of the merits of rezoning, staff recommends
approval. Staff is concerned that DEQ questions have not been answered.
Present C-2 zoning allows residential development while rezoning can initiate
safeguards against the environmental hazards. Dickson said DEQ questions have
not been addressed. Don Gray and Duane Lacina of Don Gray Realtors spoke on the
issue. Jansen said some type of insurance, bond, or self-insurance would cover
liability on the property. Lacina reviewed Mr. Moore's attempt to clean up the
Oil spill and the history of a similar spill at Valley High School in Des Moines.
Perret said that unless Council received more information on some type of
agreement indemnifying the city and providing for some long term maintenance for
the site, Council does not wish to consider the matter tomorrow night.
