Informal Council Discussion
August 22, 1983
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 of Washington and parking in those after 9:00 p.m. Fowler explained that
the modifications to the parking ramp are outlined but the equipment necessary
has not been located. Fowler said federal systems would present suggested
equipment to staff some time this week. Lynch noted that handicapped parking
.spaces are so often empty that .perhaps they could be reduced slightly.
Neuhauser noted that 30 -minute parking was for the quick errands while other
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
classes are incompatible. The move should cost less than $500 according to
Bette Meisel. A water supply shouldn't be necessary immediately.
Council Time
I. 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 Frohwein's 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

check with other communities to see if a preference can be given to local
firms.
Foster Road
Franklin explained that the Foster Road issue came up again when the Oakes Third
Subdivision preliminary plat was submitted. She reminded Council that they had
decided that Foster Road, east of Prairie du Chien, should be kept in the
Comprehensive Plan until it became obvious that development could not occur.
Franklin referred extensively to a topographic map and road layout sketch.
Neuhauser said that the Council wants to minimize condemnation and City
expenditures in the area. Franklin said that if an Iowa -Illinois easement were
followed for a northerly alignment, costs diminish. If Oakes installs a portion
of the road, it will help cut City costs. Lynch said that the City should not
encourage development of Foster Road without a concept of what they want that
development to be. Franklin noted that the topography make development
difficult. Neuhauser noted that the Council wants Foster Road to provide access
for the local development but not be a beltline. Dean Oakes said the northerly
alignment he proposed is the most practical. The Council and developers
discussed three alignments of Foster Road - the Iowa -Illinois easement, an area
to the immediate south, and the alignment of Rita Linn Avenue proposed in the
1981 plat of Oakes Third Addition. Dean Oakes said the proposed full
development is based on the assumption that the City sewer is available.
Charles Ruppert, 1406 N. Dubuque Rd., stated that there were numerous ways of
providing access to the area. Neuhauser said that Council doesn't have
sufficient information and that they will tour the area at 4:00 p.m. before the
next informal Council meeting.
I
Urban Fringe
iFranklin said that a preliminary consensus has been reached on the City/County
urban fringe area development policies. The Committee needs feedback from the
Council and Board of Supervisors.' She said that area five was anticipated to be
used for agricultural and residential use. Neuhauser said that residential
doesn't seem appropriate. Franklin noted that the county must work with
existing zoning which in this case is already residential. There will be a lot
of pressure to develop along Scott Boulevard. Berlin noted that if the land
isn't reserved for industrial use, the most appropriate area for industry could
be lost. It was clairifed that the Council wished to see industrial uses
allowed in a triangular area east of BDI and south of the tracks, and not in the
entirety of Area 5. Franklin said that area six is dependent on sewer
construction and whether the City will allow county land to be tied into the
City sewer system before annexation. Area six is not recommended for annexation
because of the ability to accommodate populations in the city. In order to
sewer the area south of Wetherby Park another trunk line by the City would be
required. The same implementation strategy regarding annexation used for area
five (item four) was proposed for area six. Neuhauser noted that the City
doesn't want to be locked into a agreement that would prevent annexation of
appropriate fringe areas. Franklin explained that area eight will be
incorporated through voluntary annexation because that's the approach in the
updated Comprehensive Plan. Staff will delete the word voluntary. The County's
planned Commercial District Ordinance was discussed. Neuhauser asked how -
commercial users would be provided with sewer service. Berlin said that
Kirkwood Community College will provide services in that area. Neuhauser said
that agricultural related uses would be more appropriate in the urban fringe
than commercial uses that are more commonly associated with city life. Jud Te
Paske pointed out that only 20 acres was under consideration for planned

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.
Council Time
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.
13. Human rights. Lynch said that this will probably be discussed by the new
Council.
Meeting adjourned at 9:50 p.m.

Andover Drive. The Commission and staff recommend approval.
Des Moines Street Right -of -Way. The Commission recommends approval.
522 South Dubuque Alley Vacation. The Commission recommends approval
subject to retention of an easement.
Westgate Addition. The Planning & Zoning Commission specifically
excluded Lot 24 because it has a duplex on it.
521 Kirkwood. Knight said that at Council's request, staff drew up three
alternative development plans: a) R2 development - property improved with
lot sold out for duplexes; b) planned area development under R2 which
would allow 16 townhouses and 18 multifamily units; c) multi -family (113)
with 34 units. All three proposals were marginal with N3 being the most
feasible. The market value compared to the per unit cost doesn't justify
any of these proposals. Knight gave hypothetical costs of the proposals
to demonstrate that the excessive land value inflates the cost to
unreasonable levels. In answer to a question from the public. Knight
explained that alternative a only allowed eight duplexes because of
frontage and lot size requirements. The problem is that the cul-de-sac
uses land that could otherwise be used for construction. John Bennett,
representing the neighbors, said that tax advantages might well make some
of the alternatives feasible. Neuhauser said it is not appropriate to
consider tax shelter in rezoning decisions. Knight said that topography,
access, and sewering limits development options. The proposals outlined
are based on contact with Iowa City professionals in real estate and
banking. Joe Horowitz, 1129 Kirkwood Avenue, expressed concern about how
the analysis was done. Horowitz said that there is a tax impact on any
development both for the developer and the community. Knight pointed out
that the market value of a property includes tax advantages. Neuhauser
said that because the burden is not on City staff to make endless analysis
of various alternatives, she could not ask staff to continue developing
alternatives. Horowitz said that since the property is currently zoned
111, that zone should be analyzed for exconomic impact. The stormwater
detention basin is included in the proposals as appropriate. Knight said
the lowest cost possible was used in making the proposals. If the R2
zoning is defeated the property will remain M1. Pat Gilpin questioned
what the property would be designated in the new zoning code. Staff will
reply at tomorrow night's meeting.
Transformer on Clinton. Iowa State Bank & Trust representatives
presented drawings of the site plan as it would look with a transformer
mounted on the sidewalk. Neuhauser noted that there seemed to be no
alternative. Council concurred.
Airport. Emmit George, Chairman of the Iowa City Airport Commission,
noted that the Commission proposal is consistent with the recommendation
of the Airport Master Plan with the exception of the 300 foot displaced
threshold on runway 17 which was changed to a 430 foot relocated
threshold. George said that the runway displacement leaves the runway
intact but marked with lines to show that it shouldn't be used.
Relocating involves a physical change to prevent legal use. Fred Zehr,
Airport Manager, said the relocated runway will remain as runway overrun.

Displaced runway is available for take -offs but not for landings. George
said that recommendation #1 would not take place until #3 was finished.
Neuhauser suggested renumbering the recommendations to reflect that
order. George said that the FAA has indicated that the City should buy
the land for the runway extension. The FAA has informally said they will
participate. A letter just received suggests that the FAA supports the
Commission proposals. Neuhauser reviewed the sequence of proposed steps.
First, the 25 acres for the runway 24 extension project. Second,
easements must be obtained and runway sections must be reconstructed.
Third, the runway would be extended. Fourth, the threshold would be
relocated. Fifth, the taxiway land would be purchased. Finally, the
taxiway would be constructed. George said that the City expects partici-
pation by the FAA in the extension of the runway. Vitosh said that the
airport reserve for capital improvements would go toward the runway
extension with the balance from GO bonds. Once the FAA has reviewed the
proposal and the City and FAA has agreed on the plan, the City would be
eligible for FAA funding. Erdahl complimented the Airport Commission and
staff for hte work done on the project. George said initial cost to the
City should be approximately $225,000 through obtaining of easements.
Neuhauser noted that the runway wouldn't be shortened until a new primary
runway is established. E.K. Jones appeared and presented a letter of
concerns. Neuhauser suggested he attend Tuesday's formal meeting to read
the letter into the record. John Dane referred to a letter from Mel
Fischer about why a runway can't be extended to the south. The issues
will be discussed at Tuesday's formal meeting.
Fare Rent Ordinance. Neuhauser said that it isn't appropriate to discuss
the ordinance until Tuesday's public hearing. Erdahl noted that the Human
Rights Commission has a hearing officer. Neuhauser suggested that one
person representing the petitioners be available at the public hearing to
answer questions. Following the September 13 public hearing, the Council
votes on the ordinance September 27. If the measure does not pass, it
will be put on the ballot for the November election. Individual groups
are not subject to the campaign finance law. Erdahl recommended an
independent forum. Neuhauser noted that people should sign up in advance
for Tuesday's public hearing to facilitate order.
Office Space Proposal. Neuhauser said that if the current building is not
structurally sound she would not favor the proposal. She suggested doing
points 2, 3, and 4 of David Martin's proposed study. If the U Smash 'Em
building still seems usable, points 1, 5, 6, and 7 can be done. Balmer
said that he is opposed to considering the building because he thought the
building was never slated for use. Erdahl said he didn't think the
building is worth putting any money into. Mary Anne Volm, United Way
Executive Director, said the walls and floor are sound and worth saving
although the cost may be too high. Berlin suggested waiting for the
parking study and doing points 2 and 3 of the proposal. Cheryl Mintle
said there is a list of nine appropriate agencies interested in a shared
location.
Iowa -Illinois Franchise. Berlin said that it is doubtful that the
franchise issue can make the November ballot because of the nature of the
company proposal. Berlin said he would schedule a meeting with the
company. Jansen said that if the franchise lapses, the company must
continue to provide service indefinitely.
