One home zoned R1A was noted on the map showing the parks.

Federal and State require:.ninety percent of buildings in an area to have' historic significance. Balmer suggested putting this 90% figure in the ordinance and also making provision for exemption of a certain dollar figure regarding what a property owner can do to his her own property. Kucharzak advised that anything done to the exterior of a building, except painting, would trigger an application to the Board, but not necessarily trigger a building permit. He explained the scope of building permits. Lynch asked if there could be an option or procedure for exclusion of a building from the district, and questioned the experience factor in Dubuque and Des Moines under their ordinances. McDonald noted concern over restrictive nature of the ordinance and thought people contacted by the survey might not understand the ordinance. Seydel, a homeowner in one of the proposed districts compared costs for repair uAder the proposed ordinance vs what can be done now. It would be much higher cost under the ordinance. Atty. Jansen pointed out that it would affect not only building permits, but all regulatory permits (liquor licenses, rental permits). There was consensus to defer the Ordinance, and Staff was directed to take whatever time needed to refine what would trigger City involvement, to report the experience factor of Dubuque and Des Moines, and give some indication as to what criteria the other cities use, and their flexibility in enforcement. PERMANENT STRUCTURES ON CITY PLAZA Helling called attention to the memos in the packet, and questioned if Council had any interest in allowing permanent structures. Several Councilmembers thought that the Plaza would not be completely finished until the hotel was built, and that no permanent structures should be allowed. Legal will decide if the ordinance should be amended, as it now allows permanent structures. Consensus was that Council was not interested in permanent structures, but to leave in the 10' for expansion in front of businesses. CITY PLAZA BRICK SURFACE Asst. City Manager Helling explained his memo regarding the difference in brick being used from that already in the Plaza. It will cost $25,600 to order new brick and remove those already installed. Possibly the wbrick could bbecreused k was nin another purchasedrat one time. eect, or old. Balmer question- ed hy the Councilman Erdahl arrived, 6:05 PM. The reorder of brick would include enough to pave in front of the new Department Store for the 10' area. The project can still be finished icolorr with new brick. A overall. Staff will identify aruse orreed at the disposalick be of theuotherm in brick. 111CRor ILMED BY JORM MICROLAB ' CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOMES 2751 -End 82-17 Side 1 1-108 1 J r Page 3 Informal Council August 16, 1982 BEER AND LIQUOR PERMIT SUSPENSION POLICY 108-110 City Attorney Jansen commented that he believed this resolution formal- ized what Council wants regarding procedure for suspension after conviction.

They are also using street for commercial purposes. McCarragher asked that they be allowed to park on Boyrum and Olympic Court. Councilmembers wished to view the area. If there are problems, the matter will be brought back before Council. 4. Mayor Pro tem Perret called attention to the letter from RCC Chrp, asking for Council's endorsement of the Sierra Club Community Energy Project with RCC as co-sponsor. Balmer called attention to the article in the packet re Ames project. There were no objections. 5. Perret questioned when the new buses would arrive. Helling noted that they will be here by the end of the month, then they will be retrofitted with a new part. GWG INVESTMENTS -BID ON OLD PUBLIC LIBRARY 304-430 Balmer noted that GWG attorney was present, and called attention to Attorney Cruise's letter in the packet with additional information. Hauer stated that GWG's material submitted is substantially in compli- ance with the requirements. Council can go ahead with proper procedures and accept them as developer. Perret questioned if the developer could choose any or all of the three uses proposed. They can choose any use, but have to know their status before they can go any further, the Attorney stated. Balmer noted that the County has already hired an architect for their proposed building. Hauer stated that the GWG proposal is as far as we can go given the Procedures we set up. Council is giving staff direction to proceed, and Council knows what the staff is proceeding on. Erdahl commented that he thought Council was giving a basic go-ahead.

SEWERAGE SYSTEMS FACILITY PLAN Mayor Neuhauser asked Consultant Jim Kimm to give a background of the issue and alternatives. Kimm explained what the City had done since 1975, and why it was done. Their recommendation was for the most cost-effective alternative plan considered, the $57,000,000 treatment plant. Federal funding changes, standards (Iowa City, in the winter, cannot achieve 45-45, Superintendent Boren agreed.), value engineering (by Stanley), automation, trickling system vs activated sludge, were discussed. Kimm pointed out that last November he and the staff had asked for a study of what alternatives were available, but it was decided that then it would not be a. timely study, as it might affect the thinking of the regulatory agencies. Kimm offered several alternatives which could be investigated (in conjunction with a committee). Neuhauser asked that cost -per -household be provided. Council decided to reform the advisory committee, checking to see if former members were interested in serving again, and advertising for new members, and to add the agreement with Veenstra & Kimm ($24,000) to the next agenda. Councilman Perret present, 4:10 P.M. ALLEY PAVING Memo—fro C ty Engineer Farmer regarding the assessment process noted.
