Informal Council Discussion: August 22, 1983, at 7:40 p.m. in the Conference
Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding.
Councilmembers Present: Neuhauser, Balmer, Lynch, McDonald, Dickson. Absent:
Erdahl, Perret.
Staff Present: Berlin, Helling, Jansen, Holderness, Farmer, Fowler, Vitosh,
Meisel, Te Paske, Smith.
Tape Recorded: Reel #83-27, Side 2, 1 -End, Reel #83-28, Side 1, 1-388.
Downtown Parking Regulations
Fowler explained that the commercial loading zone needs to be switched from the
north to the south side of the 100 block of East Washington Street so to better
Utilize parking. Item 2 of Helling's parking regulation memo affects users of
24-hour automated bank tellers. Berlin noted that a problem would be created
because few parking spaces would be available to bank users after 5:00 p.m.
Council noted that enforcement has been lenient in the commercial loading spaces
on Iowa Avenue. Tom Muller of the Downtown Association recommended consistent
regulations and enforcement. Lynch noted that overall a few evening parking
spaces could be gained by the proposals as well as the date time benefits.
Helling said staff realized that these proposals would not solve all problems
but they would make hours of parking enforcement more reasonable. Neuhauser
suggested .enforcing meters in the evening. She then recommended allowing
evening parking in all loading zones except the loading zones in the 100 and 200
blocks

spaces re so often uhat ihatouegNuhausernoted that30 empty
nte parking was for heqickerrndswhileother
shopping should lead to ramp parking. Expanding those meters to 45 minutes has
been recommended by the Downtown Association. The Council didn't find any
support for changing the meters. If the Downtown Association presents a
petition for going to 45 -minute meters, the Council will consider the issue. A
parking study will be available to the Council and 30 to 60 days after hotel and
hospital officials have been consulted.
Senior Center Stud
Bill Coen and Arnie Arneson stated that utilizing space on the second floor of
the Senior Center would be appropriate because the woodworking and ceramics
classe's are incompatible. The move should cost less than $500 according to
Bette Meisel. A water supply shouldn't be necessary immediately.
Council
1• Balmer questioned the new transit facility furnishing. He suggested that
Frohwein Office Supply Company be provided with an explanation of bidding
since their bid was only $10 higher than the lowest bid and FrohweinIs is
local while the lowest bid was from out of town. Berlin explained that
because UMPTA funds are involved, lowest bids are mandated. Berlin will

commercial. Lynch stated that he felt more comfortable with the proposal if it
applied to only 20 acres. All 20 acres of area eight will be restricted by
height but none of it by use because of the airport. The amendment that would
produce the planned commercial zone will be discussed by the County Zoning
Commission in September. Franklin said that areas nine and ten have not been
addressed yet by the Urban Fringe Committee.

2. City Park pool. Balmer said he approved of the University's offer to heat
the City Park pool. Neuhauser noted the problem of staffing the pool.
Berlin said it would depend upon demand. Consensus to proceed.
3. Dubuque Street improvements. Balmer said he thought the Dubuque Street
improvements need to be started. Dickson said Dubuque Street is the only
beautiful entrance to Iowa City because of the trees.
4. Rental housing licensing fee. Balmer said he's not in favor of the
revisions. Neuhauser suggested discussing the housing inspection funding
policy, housing market analysis recommendations, and the proposed fair
rent ordinance together.
5. Pipeyard tour. Neuhauser noted the tour is next Monday at 6:45 p.m.
6. Dickson asked if Jansen was working on an amendment to City Code to enable
the City to deny a building permit on environmental danger basis. Berlin
said work is being done on it.

7. Council priorities. Berlin suggested discussing Council priorities
through the end of the year at the next informal meeting.

8. Private funding. Berlin noted he met with Arthur Young Company about
private financing and he is encouraged at the prospects.
9. Neuhauser said a reply .is being prepared to the Des Moines Register's
editorial on the allocation of sewer funds.
10. Airport Commission. Neuhauser will attend Wednesday's Airport Commission
meeting to hear their plans. Lynch noted that Jansen is effectively in
charge while there are legal implications to airport decisions.
11. Court Street. Balmer said he feels the "no right turn on red" sign at the
corner of Burlington and Summit should be removed.
12. Council priorities. Helling explained that priority A "policy
resolutions" is to make suggestions to future Councils. Neuhauser said that
abstension policy should be spelled out.

night of the public hearing. The ordinance will be on file with the City Clerk
for public examination in the next couple of days.

Sunset Street and Frontaoe Road Disposition. Franklin said that these are
slivers of right-of-way. The properties are not usable by themselves. There
has been no appraisal on the properties. Franklin suggested public hearing at
tomorrows Council meeting and September 13 with bids taken at that time or any
time between hearings. The properties have easements over the entirety.
Hickor Ride Estates. This is a rural subdivision of Johnson County in Area 4
of the r nge Study. The City does not anticipate annexation in the near
future. A property owner wishes to subdivide the land into three lots.

Board of Adjustment Appeal Fee. This resolution would change the fee from $75
to $150. Boothroy noted that this would apply to appeals of issuance of
building permits.
Oakes Third Addition. Franklin referred extensively to maps of the area. She
said that Dean Oakes preferred the Foster Road alignment that comes out in the
draw south of the Iowa -Illinois easement. The northerly alignments (a) is the
Iowa -Illinois easement which is a straight path across from the west to Bruce
Glasgow's property. Neuhauser noted that this route has a distinct
topographical problem which would have to be resolved by the City rather than by
the developer. Berlin said he will review the file on discussions that took
place on this alignment in 1980 and 1981. Franklin said that more information
is needed on the cost of condemnation, cost of negotiation with Illinois, the
status of the City's agreements with Glasgow, and the cost and status of
agreements with Mr. Van Berkland. Oakes explained how various alignments might
effect his development of property. Lynch noted that the proposed street is a
collector and not a bypass. Balmer mentioned that Bristol and Kimball Road are
currently being used as shortcuts in spite of their narrowness. Prairie du
Chien is also bringing a lot of traffic into town. Staff will prepare a
resolution outlining Council's position. A citizen said that he is concerned
about septic tank development and how it will affect the area negatively. He
also suggested obtaining pedestrian easements. Franklin said that forced main
sewers will be privately owned and maintained. Oakes said that septic tanks now
used simply don't run out into the open. Neuhauser said that she would like to
get a recommendation from the City Manager before making a decision. The
citizen said he only wanted easements if they didn't cost anything to establish.
City Manager will report at tomorrow's Council meeting.
521 Kirkwood. Franklin said that the economic analysis will be done in time for
the second consideration. Erdahl said he thought it would be better to defer
any action until the Council has the report. Consensus to defer.
Westgate Addition, Lots 28, 64-71. Staff recommended waiver of readings.
Westgate Addition, Lots 22-24, 64-71. No waivers of readings are recommended.
Powers of Board of Adjustment. This ordinance permits issuance of a stop work
order to hault construction.
522 South Dubuque Street Alley. There as no discussion.
624 South Gilbert Street. Franklin referred to the letter from Duane Lacina
reporting for Ron Moore of Moore Oil Company requesting that Council defer this
indefinitely. Council could also get the original request and allow
resubmission. Council agreed to defer action, allow the owner to submit new
information, and make a final decision in four weeks.
Lyman Cook's Subdivision. There was no discussion.
Plaza Street Rezoning. Hayek requested that the Council set a public hearing at
tomorrow night's formal meeting on the Plaza Suite rezoning. Jansen will advise
the Council about whether a public hearing can be set without 24 hour posted
notice.

Blackhawk Mini -park. The McDonald's restaurant representatives presented their
plans for developing a restaurant on the site of the Blackhawk Mini -park and

McDonald's stated that the
Cy fd better ways to spend $100,000 than on improving the Blackhawk
Mini -park. Commercial use of the site would provide jobs and increase the tax
base. one from the sale of the property could be used for other community
development programs. Architect William Nowysz noted that much of the Blackhawk
Mini -park corner is wasted because it isn't used. A restaurant design could
maintain open space at the corner. The McDonald's representatives said
maintenance of the area would improve with a commercial owner. Neuhauser said
that she felt that the lack of an alley for deliveries is critical to any
development. Erdahl said that the Council has had a long-term commitment to the
presentation of ideas and assembly on the open space. Balmer said that he feels
that the initial $1.2 million development of the pedestrian area downtown is
sufficient and Blackhawk Mini -park should be considered for commercial
development. Lynch said that he is interested in exploring the idea. He said
that if a development can have a positive impact on the downtown, then it should
be considered. McDonald also expressed interest in considering the development
while Dickson said she is apposed. The Mayor noted Perret had already gone on
record as being opposed to development on the site and stated the majority of
Council were opposed to the sale of Blackhawk Mini -park. Therefore, it won't be
considered at this time. Discussion of improvements of Blackhawk Mini -park must
await discussions with Project Green but improvements should be on this year's
budget.

proposed Knights of Columbus building.
2. Pipeyard Property. Clark showed the design for the buildings on the City's
former pipeyard property. The first apartment building is partially
completed. Dickson noted the apartments weren't just for students.
3• Council Priorities. Neuhauser noted that the sewage treatment plant, the
proposed zoning ordinance, and the downtown hotel project all need
attention before the end of the year. Lynch suggested that the urban
fringe should be added to the list. Council agreed on six goals for the
remainder of the year:

Berlin suggested allowing candidates for the Council in this fall's
election to listen to the goal -setting process sometime in September or
October. The priorities don't mean that staff should stop work on
everything else.
4. Watermain Extension. Balmer questioned the east side water storage
proposal and the effect of new developments north of Rochester. Berlin
said that staff will keep Council informed. The current extension only
includes one more house.
S. First Avenue Bike Lanes. Balmer noted that bike lane lines were not
Painted on the First Avenue overlay. Council agreed that bikes are not
stopping at stop signs, particularly at the corner of Madison and
Washington. Berlin said that bike lanes are still safer for bicyclists.
He noted his observations at Eugene, Oregon, with bike lanes in the middle
of streets. Lynch suggested talking to the BIC and noted that they've been
very cooperative. Council agreed to retain bike lanes.
6. Rocky Shore Bikeway. Berlin will check on the plans for the bikeway. Guy

7. Next week's schedule. There will only be a meeting if specific matters
need to be decided.
B. TV Tower. The TV tower letter will be referred to the Airport Commission.
9. Outdoor Beer Gardens. Neuhauser wants staff guidelines.
10. Newspaper Vending Machines. Neuhauser said that the Des Moines Register
has a vending machine in the middle of the sidewalk attached to a city
light pole. Erdahl said that all vending machines on public property
should be removed. Berlin noted that signs that don't meet city code are
simply torn down in Texas. Jansen said that a list of newspaper vending
machines on City property or attached to City property had been prepared.
A letter will go out to newspapers instructing them to remove the machines.
11. Clear Zone Ordinance. Berlin said that people are coming in for building
permits for uses that are prohibited in a clear zone, therefore complaints
