Zoning Matters
South Summit & Dearborn. Franklin explained that a public hearing is to be set
i
Tor Nnuary 17 for declaring the area a historic preservation district.
Urban Fringe Agreement. Franklin explained that minor changes have been made to
clarify language. An appendix has been attached. Franklin said that at the
county public hearing on the urban fringe agreement several issues were raised
including 1) the possibility of the City waiving any subdivision reviews in
selected areas of the fringe. (Staff recommends against waiving review unless a
joint body is developed with the County to review plans.) Council will consider
I such a plan but is generally not favorable; 2) designation of a subarea within
Area 7 in which City Urban Design Standards would be imposed. (Staff was
�.; concerned with relationship between imposing urban standards and the City's
4 annexation policy for Area 7 and how that relates to other area policies. The
staff was also concerned with expansion of urban development into other portions
of Area 7.) Council will further consider the matter at a later date. If the
City must provide full services at a later date, costs could be prohibitive. The
City must make a decision at some point on whether the area will be annexed at a
later date. Changes in Area 7 would affect proposed deannexation in Area 9. The
area west of the watershed line in Area 9 will be deannexed; the remainder of
Area 7 southwest of the watershed line will be considered for possible de -
annexation at a later review. Changes in this section of the agreement are a
' change in Area 7 to a policy which defines a subarea and imposes full urban
design'' standards and in Area 9 there will be a revision in the map to show
consideration of deannexation of parts of Area 9. The County will consider these
changes before tomorrow's Council meeting.
Zoning Ordinance
Neuhauser noted that several official letters of protest have been received
concerned the proposed zoning ordinance. Boothroy explained that the DX station
j on Dodge (across from Eagles) will be nonconforming. Jansen said that the City is
legally considering objections to the ordinance. He said that changes made in
the ordinance are not substantial enough to require submission to Planning and
Zoning.
Shamrock Drainage
The Council agreed to use a continuous concrete pipe for the project. Burns said
that neighbors should grant easements. The Council agreed that the City Attorney
should be consulted on the issue of a 30 foot channel upstream of the continuous

concerns. Construction will start in July, 1984 at the earliest and will be

Human Services Facility
Block grant monies can be considered for a combined human service facility. An
application for block funds is due
grant by January 18, 1984, Councilmember-Elect
George Strait agreed that the application should be submitted.
Bike Lanes
Balmer said that he prefers not to change the bike lane signage. Erdahl said that
he is concerned about children and less
proficient bicyclists. Shelley Plattner,
Bicyclists of Iowa City, said that safety concerns
dictate right hand bicycle
lanes with lanes ending 50 feet from the intersections. The Council agreed to
leave bicycle lanes and signage as they currently are and allow the new Council
to direct action on either matter if they
so wish.
Council Policies
Neuhauser said the Council should still have the rules committee review the rule
on abstentions and a City Attorney
memo on the subject.
