This is a small note of appreciation for the
work that all of you have done for all of us during the
past few years.
One wishes that it weren't necessary to
have a fruit basket upset, we would have liked to have
had all of you stay on, but we know that isn't possible.
Even though we were disappoiinted that
David Perret did not run again, we know too that all
j of you have served at great personal sacrifice to
,yourselves and we understand that.
To see Iowa City now, and think of what it
was just a few short yoars ago, one wonders how such a
transformation could take place. Thanks to all of you.
Sincerely,
Herbert and Maria,= Michael

Dear Mayor Neuhauser,
The quality of the air in Iowa City is already com-
promised by the high concentration of motor vehicles here.
Do we really need to encourage further deterioration by
permitting several weeks of lawn refuse burning just because
some people are nostalgic for the smell of burning leaves?
In addition, that picturesque smoke hanging in the
trees is a real problem for people with less than perfect
respiratory systems.
I respectfully suggest reconsideration of this issue.
Sincerely,

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Dear Commission and Council Members:
s
(310) 331.5827
The owners of the Iowa -Illinois Manor apartments are breaking federal laws, and
are reducing revenues to the City of Iowa City.
I'm referring to the illegal satellite dish providing cable TV service to residents of
the new 54 -unit apartment complex at 505 East Burlington Street. This dish is located at
the apartment site and provides 5 channels of satellite -derived programs (including pay
movies) to apartment residents, allegedly at 'no cost.' The satellite channels now
provided are HBO, Cinemax, WGN, WTBS, and ESPN. Local channels 2, 7, and 9 are also
provided.
Several motels in the area are doing the same thing (usually offering one 'free'
movie channel).
The Federal Communications Act of 1934 (as amended) requires an agreement
between cable operator and program originator before distributing satellite -derived
signals. This involves paying a monthly fee for each customer connected to that
system. These payments are very significant to the movie and entertainment industry, in
fact, are the sole source of revenue for programmers like HBO and Cinemax, who derive
no revenues from advertising.
Iowa City's legitimate cable TV company, Hawkeye Cablevision, forwards
approximately 1/2 of every dollar collected for HBO and Cinemax back to these
programmers. Most of the money is used to purchase movie rights or produce new
movies and specials. HBO spends about 400 million dollars each year in this manner, all
of it coming from legitimate operators like Hawkeye Cablevision and our company.
The Copyright Act of 1976 also requires payments when rebroadcasting local or
distant signals from commercial TV stations. Hawkeye does this, but the illegal system
which I cite is not paying to rebroadcast Channels 2, 7, 9, or WGN or WTBS.
Hawkeye also pays 3'%, of its gross revenue (Including revenue from HBO and
Cinemax, to the City of Iowa City to support local programming efforts and the
operation of the Broadband Telecommunications Commission. So the owners of the
illegal apartment system not only are Ignoring federal regulations, but are not
contributing to the City like Hawkeye is.
30A.7—
Gi
These apartment owners and motel owners (and the vendors who install equipment
for these applications) usually used a'private property' smokescreen when selling or
installing an illegal system.
Of course the city is somewhat limited in its possible actions because the public
streets and alleys are not used. A legitimate cable operator, through his franchise, is
granted the right to use the streets and alleys, an absolute necessity to reach all areas in
the city. The legitimate operator also meets all of the many requirements in the cable
TV ordinance which in Iowa City includes providing a 35 -channel system, providing public
access channels, complying with FCC regulations, making payments to the city, etc.
The owners of the illegitimate apartment system are avoiding all of this.
Furthermore the apartment system is extremely cost effective because of the high
density in the complex (resulting in low installation cost), the fact that the owners are
not paying the required fees including the 3% fee to the city, and the fact that .they can
' probably charge $25 to $30 more for rents because of 'free cable.'
The contention that 'since we charge nothing for the service, we cannot be forced
to pay the normal charges and fees' is not valid -- payments of the programming and
copyright fees is required irregardless, and the service is not 'free, anymore than the
water, sewer, or garbage pickup services included in the rent structure are 'free.'
I realize that the city is in no position to enforce federal regulations, and the fact
that the system is entirely on private property complicates ordinance enforcement, but
there are other ways to combat unlawful pirating and evasion of payments.
I hope that the city will take immediate action to eliminate this pirating, and will
support the efforts of Hawkeye Cablevision and other legitimate operators like ourselves
when we take action against such pirating.
Sincerely, 'moi I

Dear Madame Mayor and City Council:
OCT 20 1983
CITY CLERIC
In early April the Iowa City City Council agreed to advance the Convention
& Visitors Bureau $6,000, to be repaid from our first motel tax allocation.
At that time, the city staff and I were assuming the first quarter revenue
would be processed through the state by late August and the second quarter
revenue would be processed through the state by late November. Unfortunately,
the money was delayed at the state level and was not returned until October.
This means the second quarter revenue may not be processed until January.
By late November the bureau will run into cash flow problems. We are requesting
that you consider allocating the bureau its first quarter revenue, $6265.75
and let us repay our original advance from the second quarter allocation.
This money will be used to run our normal skeleton operation and wiil not be
used to hire additional staff. I have enclosed a budget for your information.
Thank you for your consideration.
Yours truly,
JE

Dear Mr. Berlin and Members of the Iowa City Council:
I am enclosing the preprinted letter which was circulated
on many of us who do have parking ramp permits in the Linn
Street Ramp by Tom Summy. In addition to this let me indicate
that I have been parking in the Linn Street ramp since the day
that monthly permits were first offered a couple of years ago.
On only one occasion have I ever seen cars parked on the roof
area and I have very seldom seen over 20 cars on floor E. I
do not understand the concern about shortage of space as there
is absolutely no shortage of space nor has there ever been in
this ramp. Both myself and several others from our office do
use floor E and none of us have ever experienced difficulty.
The problem lies solely in the amount of ingoing and out-
going traffic through singular actions or exits, but this is
certainly nothing that the parking permit holders add to. I
am sure that most of us, if required to move to the other
ramp, will drop our parking permit and simply go on a pay as
you go basis which means most of us, who arrive prior to
8:00 A. M., will be using first floor parking space. It is
hoped that you will give this matter further consideration.

Mr. Fred C. Krause, Chairperson
Iowa City Housing Commission
P.O. Box 2240
Iowa City, Iowa 52244
Dear Mr. Krause:
The City Council recently received a request from the Marquette
Council of the Knights of Columbus expressing that organization's
interest in purchasing the land at the corner of Linn and Harrison
Streets for relocation of its current clubroom facilities. This
parcel is currently owned by the City and was acquired as part of the
Lower Ralston Creek Neighborhood Revitalization Project. Originally,
this parcel was to be marketed for private commercial redevelopment.
Since the completion of the Lower Ralson Creek Project, however, the
City Council has discussed the possibility of utilizing this and
other Project parcels for housing sites either for public housing or
multiple unit construction by a private developer.
Prior to taking any further action in response to the request from
the Knights of Columbus, the City Council requests that the Housing
Commission review this parcel and make a recommendation as to its
relative desirability as a housing site, especially for low and
moderate income housing.
The City Council will await your recommendation prior to any further
consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Mary C. Neuhauser
Mayor

CITY CLERK (3)
As one of the owners of The Peninsula, a tract of land approximately
200 acres abutted on three sides by the Iowa River and located in Sections
5, 8 and 9, Township 79 North, Range 5 West of the 5th P.M. in Johnson
County, Iowa, I wish to object to the proposed rezoning of this area to
an agricultural district under the provisions of the proposed new zoning
ordinance to Iowa City now before you for your Consideration.
This land was zoned as a residential district by the Johnson County
Board of Supervisors during October, 1960, and was involuntarily annexed
into the City of Iowa City by virtue of a laysuit brought by the City of
Iowa City (No. 36866) in the District Court of Iowa for Johnson County.
The Petition, which was filed during SepteTber, 1965, and the subsequent
court decree entered in Decenber of that year, specifically referred to
services to be furnished to the area by the City of Iowa City including
fire proection, police protection, street construction, sewage treatment,
services for garbage collection, use of a sanitary landfill, water services
and utility services. At this time, sane 18 years later, very few of the
services referred to in this lawsuit through the form of sworn testiurony
have been furnished. The property was annexed on the basis of a residential
use and such use was reconfirmed immediately following the Amerex case in
1975.
Relying upon the representations made by city officials in and out of
Court, the owners of the area did not actively defend the lawsuit, incurred
surveying and engineering expenses in preparation of development and had
a study and proposed plat of the area showing residential develanpent
prepared. These plats were furnished to the city staff as well as the Plan-
ning and Zoning Commission after the request was made for such items by
city representatives.
The City of Iowa City now proposes that this property be placed in a
"holding zone" where no development is possible. As the topographical maps
3as� ;
I
Mayor and City Council
Page 2
October 25, 1983
in possession of the city staff will show, a substantial portion of this
property cannot be used for agricultural purposes. The terrain is rough
and the area has substantial timber growth.
The proposed ordinance does, however, subject the property to an "over-
lay zone" even though no development is permitted. This is inconsistent,
arbitrary and an unreasonable abuse of the police power and a "taking by
regulation which is conpensable. The proposal is unfair and confiscatory.
Under the circurrstanoss, please regard this letter as:
1. A protest and objection to the proposed rezoning;
2. A request consistent with previous requests made to you in writing
and verbally that the property be furnise'hd with the services pursuant to
your promises; or
3. That you consider the de -annexation of the property or some other
type of appropriate relief.

Dear Mayor Neuhauser and Merbers of the City Council:
We represent Lorna Mathes who owns the property and resides at 109
South Johnson Street, Iowa City, Iowa.
Mrs. Mathes has rented rooms to three unrelated persons for many years.
9ie property has been located in a C-2 zone since 1962. Under the proposed
new zoning ordinance, the property is located with the confines of a zone
designated Mm2 which prohibits the use of the property which has existed
for more than 20 years.
It is difficult to understand the "jog to the west" that appears in
this particular district or the purpose of such extension. We are told that
this is being done because the property is located across from College Green.
The use of the property for the last 20 years has obviously not deterred
the attraction of this park and the extension of the proposed district under
these circumstances would be quite arbitrary and unreasonable particularly
considering the conversion of a legal, proper and continued use of the
property into a nonconforming use or perhaps even a prohibited use.
We contend that the proposed rezoning is not a proper exercise of the
police power and constitutes a "taking of property" without compensation.
Additionally, it is unreasonable and unfair as Mrs. Mathes depends upon the
mom rental for her living. Certainly some consideration should be given
to this taxpayer and her zoning should remain the same unless there is some
compelling public purpose being served by prohibiting the present use.

Pe: Proposed Zoning Ordinance --Southgate Development, Braverman
Development Myles Development and M. N. Braverman
Dear Mayor Neuhauser and Members of the City Council:
The above owners of a substantial amount of property located within
the corporate limits of the City of Iowa city, Iowa, protest and object
to the newly proposed zoning ordinance malting the following objections
and comments:
1. The City of Iowa City has certain existing agreements with the
owners including an agreement referred to as "Broadway Street Agreement"
signed March 22, 1978, pertaining to development of Pepperwood Addition,
Parts I and II, the terms of which have been or are being performed and
upon which they have relied. The rezoning proposed for these districts
constitutes an abrogation by the city of the spirit and intent of this
agreement. The density requirement of any new zone should not be any more
restrictive than the requirement of any zone in effect at the time the
agreement was signed.
2. The commercial area in the K -Mart vicinity south of Highway 1
which is subdivided as "Braverman Center" has been developed pursuant to
agreement with the City of Iowa City and representations made on behalf
of the city. The proposed zoning now changes the requireaents of the
developer, changes the permitted uses of the property, changes the density
requirements and in general makes the orderly and agreed upon previous
development impossible.
3. The Walden tract, located west of Marmon Trek have been developed
on the basis of the existing zoning. The partial developmentwhich has
already occurred was based upon the existing zoning ordinance as well as
representations made by representatives of the city. Since this was a
3 os8

staged development it is inappropriate and unfair for the city to enact
a new zoning ordinance for the area referred to above after the expenditure
of substantial sums by the property owners. The proposed rezoning of
the properties referred to above will result in a reduction of value in
excess of two million dollars. In addition, the proposed rezoning does
not, when compared to the present zoning, enhance the public safety or
welfare from either a practical or aesthetic point of view.
Ebr the foregoing reasons, the Property owners object to the imposition
of the proposed additional restrictions upon their Dronerty in i -hr fnr
of the new proposed city zoni

Dear Mayor Neuhauser and Members of the City Council:
On behalf of Kenneth L. Albrecht, Wayne Kempf and Earl Yoder Construction
Company objection and protest is hereby made to the proposed rezoning of the
property owned by them located north of Broom Street, east of Dodge and west
of Governor which was the subject of previous rezoning (objected to and
which objection is reiterated).
The property has been the subject of litigation involving claims for
damages by reason of the rezoning which occurred June 27, 1978, and the
final trial on this matter will be held on NJVember 28, 1983. This is the
same area which has been subject to judicial proceedings previously with a
decision that was contrary to the position of the City of Iowa City, Iowa.
It is our belief that any rezoning of this area at this time would
be unwise and subject to being declared a nullity by reason of the litiga-
tion and the proposed rezoning of the property to RM44 and CDl under the
new ordinance is not appropriate.

Re: Proposed Zoning Ordinance
Madam Mayor and Members of the City Council:

AREA CODE 319
This letter is written on behalf of the Greater Iowa City Area Apartment
Association. The Association members represent a number of apartment units in
Iowa City and Coralville. The Apartment Association is deeply concerned with
those city policies which directly impact on the availability, cost, location
and profitability of rental housing in Iowa City.
We are particularly struck with the contradiction between the City Council's
stated concern for low cost available housing and the direction of the proposed
ordinance which substantially limits density and increases housing costs.
Very simply, lower density means higher housing costs. Lower density in Iowa
City has occurred in many ways. We have seen the down zoning of the near
north side, the Burlington/College Street area and Manville Heights. The
floor area/land ratio for roaming houses and fraternity/sorority houses has
been increased to the point that there will be no new rooming houses or
fraternity houses or expansion of existing ones. Members of the Planning
3 osg

and Zoning Commission have stated that the University must assume more re-
sponsibility for providing student housing. Yet, they have spoken with
University officials and they have been informed that the University does not
intend to provide more housing within the foreseeable future. We disagree
with any policy of segregating students from the main -stream of the community.
The few isolated problems which may occur in a student community may be solved
by enforcement of the noise ordinance, street parking regulations and other
existing regulations. Any policy which will cause a virtual exclusion of
students from a large segment of residential areas in the community is not in
the community's best interest.
In April of 1983, parking standards were adopted which increased the
dimensional requirements for parking lots, making them more land consumptive.
Now, in addition, the City proposes to increase the number of required parking
spaces. For example, an apartment of 1,000 square feet currently requires 1.5
parking spaces. Under the new ordinance, it will require 3 spaces. By
doubling the size of the parking lot, the cost per unit for construction will
increase substantially.
i
By increasing the parking requirements and the yard requirements, existing
structures will not be able to expand because they will be nonconforming. For
example, a five foot side yard is presently required for a three story building.
Under the proposed ordinance seven feet will be required. This provision will
i prevent the conversion of an attic to a third floor apartment in an existing
structure.
In addition, a 50 foot wide lot is presently required in the R3A and R3B
zones. If these areas are rezoned to RM12, a multi -family dwelling is a
permitted use but the 60 foot wide lot requirement will frequently make the
lot nonconforming. Section 1-70 of the proposed ordinance also provides that
a two-family or multi -family dwelling on a nonconforming lot cannot be recon-
structed or structurally altered. Structures which cannot be reconstructed or
i structurally altered will not maintain their value once the impact of these
regulations is fully understood.
i A dramatic example of this decrease in density is the duplex which will be
rezoned from R2 to RSB. Under the present ordinance, a maximum of 10 unrelated

The Apartment Association is also concerned with the complexity of this
ordinance and the difficulty for the average resident to understand the inter-
relationship of the various provisions. For example, how many persons who are
considering the purchase of an existing multi -family dwelling in an RM12 zone
will understand that, although it is a permitted use, it will almost certainly
not comply with all of the parking and yard requirements. As a result,
ipursuant to Section 1-70 of the Code of Ordinances, it could not be structurally
altered, expanded or reconstructed. In case of fire or tornado, it would have
to be replaced by a much smaller conforming structure.
IYou are all aware of too many examples where a prospective purchaser
was
assured by a city housing or building inspector that a particular use was
permitted at a particular location, It was only when it was too late that the
Purchaser discovered the inter -relationship of the various provisions and that
the contemplated use would not be permitted after all.
3os-ow
J
Honorable Mayor and City Council
October 25, 1983

We are also concerned with the ambiguities in this ordinance. For ex-
ample, Section 1-40 refers to a pedestrian/bicycle path and Section 1-43 to
the dedication of land for recreational use, yet the ordinance does not state
whether the dedication would be mandatory or voluntary. Will the staff and P
8 Z recommend against an apartment complex if the developer objects to the
construction and dedication of a bicycle path along the river? Section 1-
40(c)(2) states that the River Corridor Overlay Zone will insure development
that will not impair the public's visual access or the public's view from the
river. What impact will this provision have on a particular development?
What portion, if any, of a lot can be developed if the entire lot is visible
from the river?
We are also concerned with the high degree of staff discretion and the
increased administrative costs which are built into this ordinance. With the
creation of over 25 special exceptions, the staff will administratively review
and make recommendations for numerous uses. They will, no doubt, recommend
conditions for approval which the Board of Adjustment will generally adopt.
At the present time, in appropriate zones, a restaurant or day care facility
can be constructed after the approval of building plans by the City Building
Inspector. Under the proposed ordinance, a restaurant and day care facility
are special exceptions in various zones. As a special exception, construction
will necessitate a review and staff report by a planner, a hearing before the
Board of Adjustment with a city planner, attorney and secretary present, a
written Order by the Board and a potential District Court appeal by neighbors
who don't want a child care facility or restaurant in their block. From the
perspective of the person who wants to open a child care facility or restaurant,
he or she must obtain an option to buy land which will extend until after the
date of the Board hearing and the 30 day appeal period to District Court or
risk the purchase of land that cannot be used for the intended purpose. An
appeal to District Court will effectively force most prospective developers to
abandon their plans.
If the special exception is approved, the increased cost of constructing
the child care facility, for example, will be passed on to the persons who use
it. If the special exception is denied, the prospective developer will have
'" 3 6.578
J
Honorable Mayor and City Council
October 25, 1983
Page 5
incurred the cost of obtaining an option on the property, obtaining architect's
plans, and presenting evidence at the hearing.
The present ordinance, which permits most uses as a right within particular
zones, is preferable. The administrative costs of staff reviews and board
hearings are eliminated. Prospective developers can purchase property with
the certainty that it can be utilized for a particular purpose. Neighbors are
not required to attend countless hearings to protect their interests.
In many cases, the ability to construct a particular use as a special
exception will be illusory. If a sufficient number of neighbors object, the
Board will probably not approve the use. There will be a temptation for the
staff and the Board to impose excessive and unreasonable conditions in exchange
for approval of the use. The prospective developer, who has incurred substan-
tial costs in reaching the hearing stage, will be in a poor position to object
to these conditions. The certain delays, the possibility of abuse of discretion
by the staff and Board, and the potential losses if a use is not approved will
inevitably discourage development and harm our community.
In addition to the increased number of special exceptions, this ordinance
will burden the Board of Adjustment with increased variances. With the
increase in nonconforming properties, property owners will have an incentive
ito seek relief from the Board of Adjustment. With the increased number of
zones, there will be a greater need to apply for a rezoning with a change of
use. With the creation of the river corridor overlay zone, the airport
overlay zone and the historic preservation overlay zone, additional properties
have become subject to staff review. While none of these provisions may be
unreasonably burdensome in themselves, the cumulative effect is to increase
the city's administrative cost as well as that of the property owner.
We ask you to reevaluate the impact of the proposed ordinance upon the
community. At a time when large segments of our community are concerned about
rising property taxes, providing safe and sanitary low-cost housing, discourag-
ing transportation costs and energy consumption, permitting the elderly to

remain in their own homes, and encouraging new industry to come to Iowa City,
we must enact an ordinance which will implement these goals rather than

with these goals and we ask you to substantially redraft this ordinance before
it is enacted.

REMARKS OF RICHARD W. ZIGCK CITY CLERK (3)
For Public Hearing On 1983 Zoning Ordinance And Map
October 25, 1983
RM -145 Generally
I support the new zone, RM -145, with the less stringent parking of
3/4 parking space per unit for high-rise construction. The history of
Iowa City is one of numerous downzonings. of close -in residential areas,
new housing fleeing to Coralville with consequent loss in property tax
I
irevenue, land values for apartments rising to such an extent that apart-
ment development goes into commercial and industrial areas, and consequent
of all that, proposals for rent control because of rising rents. The
center of activity of a large proportion of the population living within
a ten mile radius of Old Capitol is the University of Iowa and a large
percentage thereof would like to live as close as possible thereto.
Politics, being what it is, has not addressed that fact. During the
much heralded period of six years of gestation of the proposed new ordi-
nance, the Planning and Zoning Commission with some foresight came for-
ward largely on their own, I believe, with a proposed new zone, RM -145,
to provide for denser housing in certain areas. I do not believe that it
should be discarded or watered down for any reason. Some have argued
that the mix of uses which have different parking requirements results
in pressure on those with more parking in the form of non -tenants using
3es8
REMARKS OF RICHARD W. ZIOCK
Page 2
their parking. They say that parking stickers and gates don't work
that well. I think that how well they work is a function of enforcement
and time and money. I would argue that that is a cost which should be
borne by the property owner. Tenants pay extra to live in closer -in
areas — if they want parking available whenever — then it is the
responsibility of their landlord to make sure their spot is open. It
isn't the responsibility of the City to zone the area so that landlords
do not suffer minor irritations. Zoning laws are much too restrictive
and controlling already; they should not and cannot meet every minor
concern.
A very liberal high-rise zone, which RM -145 is not, might be harm-
ful to existing apartment owners temporarily, at least theoretically.
In the present instance this is not the case, however. If it were, there
would have been monumental pressure from developers for high-rise zoning,
which to Ry knowledge there hasn't been. All larger cities have high-
rise zones, in many of which no off-street parking is required. Tenants
park on the street, for the most part don't have cars and use public trans-
portation. Iowa City is no longer a small town and will find it expedient
to adopt many of the features other larger cities have. The long run view
favors more dense living in certain areas. It will be more efficient from
the vier of the tenants thereof to live closer -in, result in less traffic,

stop the property tax drain to Coralville, and lessen pressures for rent
control. Furthermore, if developers find it uneconomical to build high -

rise, then the existence of RM -145 won't make any difference anyway.
A New RM -145 Area
I wish to propose another area presently shown as RM -44 for inclusion
in RM -145. This area is bounded by Myrtle Avenue on the north, the
Chicago -Rock Island Railroad on the south, and extends roughly from 100
feet west of Riverside Drive to 400 feet west of Riverside Drive. This
area has a convenience store, pizza house, sandwich shop, and Dairy Queen
within 100 yards. Additionally, there's a steak house, Chinese restaurant,
and gas station within 200 yards. It is slightly over i mile to Old
Capitol and downtown. It is served by the Wardxay bus. It is about 400
yards from the new law School which will have about 600 students and less
than z mile from the University of Iowa Hospital complex. Across Myrtle
Avenue a large tract owned by the University of Iowa is presently undeveloped,
but it may reasonably be expected that it will constitute another focus of
activity. The case for this area being RM -145 seems equal to the case for
the Newton Road area which has RM -145.
There is only about one acre undeveloped in this area which could be
the site for a high-rise, and it would seem to be a best use for that
land. I urge you to amend the Map so.

Re: Proposed 1983 Zoning Ordinance
Dear Mayor Neuhauser and Councilpersons:
The Downtown Association Board of Directors voted to request that you give
special consideration to an area of the 1983 Zoning ordinance, passed by
the Planning and Zoning Commission on September 22, 1983. Our concern is
for the future development and growth of the central business district.
We are deeply concerned about the lack of available space to grow into as
the retail and service establishments grow in number.
We feel that the growth of the downtown area is limited in three directions
by the consumers natural movements. The two City -owned parking ramps are
both on the south side of the present downtown area. We feel that the future
growth of the downtown area will naturally move in the direction of available
privately owned land, available traffic movements, and (extremely important)
the availableand accessable parking. These factors all indicate a movement to
the south of Burlington Street.
We understand that the CB -2 zone allows for this transition, and that the CC -2
zone will also allow for limited transition due to building size. Therefore,
we ask that you consider the long term growth of the downtown area and consider
switching the CC -2 zone to CB -2 zone. We feel that this will aid for improved
future planning, and a more orderly transition in the future.
Once again, thank you for your time and consideration on this matter; and we
commend the Planning and Zoning Commission on a long job well done.

I talked to Assistant City Attorney Dick Boyle on the af-
ternoon of the 19th about the proposed zoning map last revised
September 27, 1983. I am concerned about the zoning boundary
line on the Boyd & Rummelhart property that used to be Maiden
Lane. The line runs north -south right through the middle of
Maiden Lane. I assume the intention is to have the boundary
line on the west side of Maiden Lane. Maiden Lane was included
in our rezoning request number Z-8310 which passed Council and
rezoned the property to R3A. I simply want to be sure that the
vacated portion of Maiden Lane goes to the RM44 classification
if the new map is adopted.
I'd appreciate it if you would resolve this problem and
let me know the result. I am sure that we are going to see
numerous such problems since no legal descriptions are being
used upon adopting the proposed changes.
I will file a copy of this letter with the City Clerk to
be sure that the objection is included in the public record.

a) the zoning of this property differs from the
zoning of surrounding properties, demonstrating
a lack of a comprehensive zoning plan, and with
no concrete reasons for the zoning;
b) the rezoning diminishes the property's value;
c) the excluded uses under the new zoning are not a
danger to the health, safety, morals, or general
welfare of the public;
d) the relative gain to the public resulting from

Re: Proposed Zoning Ordinance and Map
Dear Council Members:
During the first Council public hearing on October 17th
regarding the "proposed zoning ordinance" and the "proposed
zoning map adoption," I suggested a change of the proposed RS -8
zoning on the lands near Foster Road, Taft Speedway and North
Dubuque Street and the lands north of the proposed Foster Road
from North Dubuque Street to Prairie du Chien Road to a
multiple zoning called RM -12.
The RM -12 zoning is the highest and best use of the prop-
erty at this time. Though RS -8 zoning allows duplexes and zero
lot line houses up to six units in a row, this type of land use
requires flat areas along the roadway of 75 feet to 120 feet in
order to accommodate the dwellings. At the same time, the
RM -12 zoning allows dwelling units to be built in clusters of
two or more and they can be above and beside each other and
they can be designed to fit the land ---not remodel the land to
fit the dwelling. In the Taft Speedway area the land must be
elevated to accommodate dwellings. This can be done without
too much disturbance by use of multi -dwellings. In the Foster
Road area, between Dubuque and Prairie du Chien Road, the land
is rolling with steep slopes and wet ravines between. To flat-
ten out this land to accommodate RS -8 dwellings and to lose all
the trees and wet areas as a result would be a "rape" of the
landscape.
There are many other arguments for allowing a different
land use in these areas. They are listed below:
i
-1
Page -2- .-.
October

1.
Transportation. There are very few areas in Iowa
City close
to the University and available for multi-
family housing. These
areas are only 12 blocks from
the center of Iowa City --"The Old Capitol".
They are
within bicycling and walking distance to the Univer-
sity. The area is served by University Cambus and
the
Iowa City Transit buses. A person could go to
the Memorial Union by canoe.
The entire area is ad-
jacent to Dubuque Street (a four lane highway)
and an
Interstate 80 intersection.
2.
Sanitary Sewer Service. The terminal point of a
sev-
en million dollar sewer improvement is Taft Speedway
and Dubuque Street. There is no sewer problem for
area.
ithis
3.
Water -Gas -Electricity. All of these utilities
are
available for these sites.
4.
Land Use. When the land is not zoned for its highest
and
est use, there is a tendency to use it in a way
not contemplated in the
zoning but as might be other-
wise allowed. Without RM -12
zoning some of the area
would be used for:
jr
I
A. Churches (a non-taxable use)
+
H. Schools (a non-taxable use)
C. Moved -In Housing - the worst use of land in the
history of Iowa City, concentrated in areas
close to the
University by former zoning de-
cisions.
5.
Use of the Planned Area Development. The best zoning
tool
existing in the Iowa City zoning ordinance is
the Planned
Area Development. Obtaining a PAD is a
long,
cumbersome, frustrating journey for a land own-
er from
start to finish, but it does allow the City
to know what will be built on the site and the land
owner knows what can be built. With the RS -8 zoning
density, a PAD is
not an economically feasible ap-
proach. With RM -12
zoning the area begins to look
like a PAD is feasible and amenities such
as river
front, wooded valleys, streams, etc, can be utilized
for the enjoyment of the tenant or owner.

Iowa City, Iowa 52240
October 25, 1993
To the Mayor and the Members of the City Council of Iowa City:
We submit the following request concerning the rezoning
proposals now pending before the City Council.
We live at 747 West Benton Street. Our property consists
of three acres. It is now zoned R3A and is proposed to be
zoned RSB. This letter is prompted by our understanding
that a submission will be made on behalf of our neighbor
to the west, at 751 West Benton Street. Our western neigh-
bor's property Is also three acres, now in the R3A zone
and proposed to be included in the RSB zone.
Our request is that our property and the propertv of
our western neighbor be zoned in the same way, as they'
have been in the past. If both properties were pladed'in
a zone in which multifamily development is severely curtailed
(e.g., ASB), we would have some protection for the continued
use of our property as a family home. Alternatively, if
both properties were placed in a zone permitting multifamily
development (ev., one similar to the present R3A), we
would have the potential, as we do under the present zoning,
to develop our property in a manner commensurate with ad-
�acent developments. If, however, our property were 'down -
zoned" while our western neighbor's was not, our property
would be devalued for single family residential use and,
at the same time excluded from the multifamily development
causing the devaluation.
We, therefore, request that our property continue to
be placed in the same zone as the property at 751 West
Benton Street, and that it be zoned to permit the same uses
as those approved and/or carried out on the property of
our western neighbor.
Respectfully submitted,

Re: Proposed New Zoning Ordinance -
CH -1 Classification
Dear Mayor and Members of the City Council: i
This letter is being written on behalf of Jomac
Development Company the partnership that owns the Highlander
Subdivision, the preliminary plat of which subdivision was
approved in 1982.
The Highlander Subdivision is located East of Highway
218 North of the Highlander Inn and Supper Club. The j
preliminary plat of the subdivision was approved subject
to finalization of the proposed force main and lift station
project which would serve not only the subdivision but the
Highlander Motel and Supper Club and the Westinghouse
Complex.
At present, the subdivision is zoned CH and CO, the CH
zoning be applicable to Lots 1, 2, 3, 18, 19 and 20 as shown -
on the preliminary plat of the subdivision, those lots being
the six lots which were closest to Highway 218. The remainder
of the subdivision parcel is zoned CO.
The Proposed New Zoning Ordinance would retain roughly
the same zoning classification for the subdivision but due
to major changes in the uses permitted in the CH Zone would
in fact down zone those lots which are currently zoned CH
to a point where some of the most desirable uses would no
longer be permitted.
j?e"

The problem has been discussed with Don Schmeiser, the
Senior Planner, and as a result of those discussions, I would
like to propose the following for your consideration:
1. The permitted uses in the Highway Commercial Zone,
CH -1, be expanded to include 'office uses permitted in the
CO -1 Zone".
2. That a provisional use be authorized as follows:
"retail establishments when associated with the permitted
uses of this zone provided that not more than 50% of the
total ground floor area shall be devoted to the retail
display of merchandise".
3. That the definition of auto oriented uses be expanded
to include the convenience store, gas station combinations
typified by the QuikTrip, 7 -Eleven, Casey operation.
It is my understanding that Don Schmeiser will not resist
the above proposed changes to the CH -1 Zone, since I believe
it is our mutual feeling that those changes would not affect
the integrity of the zone and at the same time would permit
the use of the subject property in a manner in which both the
Developer and the City desire to see it developed.
I intend to appear at the Public Hearing scheduled on
October 25th and I will be prepared to discuss the proposed
changes further at that time.

Testimony Given to Plann_ and Zoning, Commission, Iowa G y October 25, 1983
My name is Susan Horowitz. I live at 1129 Kirkwood Avenue. I have_ reviewed
the proposed new zoning ordinance and believe that it Roes far to fulfill the intent
of Iowa City's Municipal Code which charges the Planning, and Zoning. Commission to
guide and accomplish activities for a "eo-ordinated... harmonious development of the
city in accordance with (its) present and future needs". You are to be commended.
I do have one concern, however, and that is with Section 1 - 42, page 94: Planned
Development Housing Overlay Zone (OPD -H). My concern with this Section lies in the
inconsistency between intent and the proposed language. Unlike the other Sections,
there is no INTENT clause. Why is this? Also, on page 96, Clause (f) charges the
Commission to report to City Council, among other things, that the Final Plan for
such an area will not adversely affect nearby properties. Given the existing speci-
fications for an application under this Section which require little information
regarding impacts on nearby property, it is not clear to me that you nor. future
Commission members, will be able to fulfill this requirement.
I suggest that the application be accompanied by not only (1) a location map
and (2) a preliminary plan of the planned development, but also by "(3) specific
evidence that the proposed plan will (a) not be injurious to the use and enjoyment
of other property in the immediate vicinity for the purposes already permitted, and
will (b) not substantially diminish and impair property values within the neighbor-
hood, and (c) not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of the
surrounding property for uses permitted in the zone, or in contiguous zones, in which
such property is located".
By "evidence" I suggest the followings
• that Clause (a)(2) c. be amended to read, "proposed use of the land
(shown by zoning classification that would be most suitable for building,
type and population density in the planned development, in an subarea
thereof, and in contiguous neighborhoods)".
• that Clause (a)(2) d. be amended to read, "Proposed overall population
density of the planned development and affected contiguous areas".
. that there be created Clause (a)(2) I. to read "Sketches to indicate
the proposed hookup with existing water, sewer lines and transportation
routes with indicated potential impact on each as well as the proximity
to fire and emergency stations".
that there be created Clause (a)(3) to read "A chronology of activities
taken and results achieved to assure amelioration of rancour amnng citizens
residing in contiguous neighborhoods and to assure maintenance of existing
values of these properties upon completion of proposed development".
One might say such proposed language would impede propress and economic develop-
ment of the city. I think not. I think such activities reflect the 1930s, reflect
mature attitudes by owners who can only acknowledge that the property is of value
because of it's location. Homes to be sold from this property or commarcial facilities
to be rented will undoubtedly be accompanied by promotional brochures lauding the
nearby schools, day care centers, transportation routes, the character of neighbor-
