No Council action is required; CCN recommends that $12,500 of CDBG funds be allocated from the proceeds of the Lower Ralston Creek land disposition to Floodplain Map Revisions. Council has already acted on this recoranlen- dation on April 26, 19831 CCN recommends that the City Council consider sending letters to appropriate officials, in opposi- tion to the Administration proposal to combine CDBG and General Revenue Sharing Funds. On February 25, 1983, the President transmitted the "Local Fiscal Assistance Block Grant Act of 1983" (House Document No. 98-22), to the appropriate Congressional Committees. The proposed Block Grant recommends the gradual fusion of the CDBG and General Revenue Sharing programs over the next five years into one block urant which would, in essence, be a GPS grant. The National League of Cities h,,, gone on record as opposing this fusion. CCN is also apposed to the fusion of the two grants oh the grounds that the CDBG emphasis on aiding d 141CROFILnED BY i 1` ""JORM-MICR6LAB -i CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES r I Official Actions May 10, 1983 Page 10 lower incum: persjr—i5, Particularly In the area of housing, will be lost.

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 I I• MICROFILMED BY J 1--JORPAFAICR40LABJ CEDAR RAPIDS DES MO / I L.. Y the understanding that the Council was looking at commercial zoning for the area. Consensus of the Council was to contact the applicant to discuss alternative uses of the area. McDonald noted that the Fringe Committee is working on a Planned Site Development within the commercial zone. Central Junior High Neuhauser raised two questions: 1) does the Council want to consider a cash settlement and 2) if they do, how much is acceptable? Jansen noted 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. Shelley Plattner, representing Bicyclists of Iowa City, said that re-routing bicyclists to Burlington Street would pose a greater danger. Phil Nychay, bus driver, reviewed a past accident involving a bicyclists and a pedestrian and stated that the hazardous congested conditions at the bus interchange pose further threat of accidents. Nychay said that the City could lessen its liability by eliminating the vehicular and bike traffic. Because of problems rerouting traffic, Neuhauser, Balmer, Lynch and McDonald agreed to leave the interchange open to traffic. Dickson, Perret and Erdahl were in favor of limiting traffic at the Washington interchanges to busses and pedestrians. 1 i MICROFILMED By l --JORM MICROLAB-- T CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOVIES I J i 3 Council Time 1.

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.

The majority of the changes involved language changes, removing "or" throughout the ordinance and giving clearer direction of responsibility.

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 Jepsen and Mr. Conrad, and stated that it appears that 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. i MICROFILMED BY 'JOR M --MIC R(D CA B` I CEDAR RAPIDS DES MOINES
