Mayor Mary Neuhauser presiding. COUNCILMEMBERS PRESENT: Neuhauser, McDonald, Dickson, Perret, Erdahl-7:30 PM. Absent: Balmer, Lynch. Staffinembers present: Berlin, Helling, Jansen, Stolfus, Schmeiser. TAPE-RECORDED: Reel k82-17, Side 2, 1152 -End, and Reel #82-19, Side 2, 1-375. 1152-1200 COUNCIL BUSINESS The Mayor commented that as long as Council was meeting on Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd, the Monday, 20th, meeting could be cancelled. Council - members agreed. City Mgr. Berlin reminded all of the Oct. 7th and Nov. 3rd special meetings. 1200 -End NEW ZONING ORDINANCE/ISSUES Neuhauser asked that Council discuss the process for consideration of the new zoning ordinance by P&Z Comm. and Council. Berlin outlined the procedures taken so far, and suggested that Council make a decision for a certain date on which the public hearing process will take place. Neuhauser also question- ed if it would be possible to take up some issues first, as final adoption will be after another construction season, such as 'zero lot lines' and the new zone between the R3 and R3A zone, and adopt them into the present ordinance. Schmeiser stated that P&Z does not want to take things out of sequence. It was decided that the Mayor would attend a P&Z meeting to discuss procedure, timeframe, and the schedule as presented in the staff memo, which leads to adoption of the zoning ordinance by July 1983. Instead of rewriting the ordinance again and referring the changes back to staff, Council would like any new comments and recommendations to be made to them. The new zoning map should be ready for P&Z by December 1, 1982. Berlin commented that at that time the citizens will give input. The Mayor asked if there were other critical areas which could be separated out. Schmeiser replied that pre- vious concerns regarding industrial use zones could be. A new Intensive Commercial Zone will exclude retail uses. The present Industrial Zone eliminated retail. Councilman Erdahl arrived, 7:30 P.M. Perret said that altho the issues presented were important, he thought that they were superficial compared with the zoning issues, and would be dealt with in the subdivision ordinance requirements. Schmeiser replied that these issues or aspects do not exist in the present ordinance, so were set out for discussion, and ments is notethat the suivisin The Mayorosuggested discussing rocess for peach concept listed. trolled by the listed. Agricultural Zone There were no problems with this concept. Rural Residential Zone Glasgow and Schnittjer present. This zone could be used where it is difficult to sewer. It is probably not feasible to develop if presently required infrastructure is provided. One area pointed out on the Comprehensive Plan was west of University property, South of 1/6/218 Hwys, and North of Melrose Avenue (could be sewered by Coralville). Glasgow com- MICROEIU-0ED m1' JORM MICROLAB I CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 11DIAES J r Page 2 Informal Council September 7, 1982 mented on feasibility of this concept if gravel roads, swales and sewage disposal plants instead of separate septic tanks could be used. Foster Road across from the Elks Country Club could be developed. Schmeiser thought that allowing this would be perpetuating urban sprawl. Neuhauser stated she was willing to look at reductions in standards if an area really could not be sewered. Schmeiser called attention to legal obligations and advised that an area now subdivided into small tracts of land (2 to 10 acres) could not be rezoned agricultural. Erdahl commented that it would be helpful to see the area. Berlin agreed, and when the map is ready before the public hearing, Council should schedule a viewing. Dickson stated that some persons might prefer to build in wooded areas such as these. Zero Lot Line Concept Schmeiser stated that there were two options: 1) a wall common to the lot line or 2) one common wall between two houses. The gain is in more useable yard area. Smaller lots can be platted, 45'x110'. One advantage is in cheaper construction costs. Provisions for townhouses were removed after staff review. Staff will check minutes for the reason. Row houses can go in the multi -family zones (RM -12). Clustering would be only in a P.A.D. Glasgow drew a zero -lot line/condominium concept on the board showing 50' lots, 24' houses, a solid wall on the lot line, a garage up front with two -car parking ahead of the garage in the 20' front -yard setback. This allows a private yard. This concept is being used as condominiums on Friendship/Washington project now. Some staffinembers want to permit zero lot lines only in a Planned Area Development where there is more control (location of driveways). There was discussion of use of alleys, screening of yards. In answer to the question, Schmeiser replied that this concept could be adopted now. The cities of Coralville, North Liberty and West Liberty use it now. Berlin cautioned that P&Z did not want to proceed with adoption now, taking it out of sequence of consideration of the whole ordinance. Variable Lot Size Schmeiser noted this provision would apply only to new subdivisions. A minimum lot in RS5 Zone would average 8,000 square feet, with an overall density of five units per acre (a reduction to 7,200 sq. ft. is possible under averaging), and no lot can exceed 15,000 sq. ft. Uniform Setback Concept Schmeiser explained the reasons why the setback 982-19 is required and the present variance of distance for setbacks depending Side 2, on the zone. In review, staff questioned why the variance in footage, 1-375 and what would be a proper setback. Council was concerned over not con- sidering the type of street or the size of a building to determine the setback. Perret suggested 20' setback for residential streets, 30' for collectors and 40' for arterials. Number of non -conformities this would cause was questioned. Glasgow advised that the right-of-way on collector/ arterial streets provided setback space. Council will discuss this concept again. Side Yard Conce t Definition of a 2� story building was explained. It epends on the efinition of basement and cellar. If the basement is 50% above ground, it is counted as a story. If it is 50% under, it is a cellar and not counted as a story. Building Coverage Ratio Concept The intention was to provide flexibility of orientation o the house to the lot, using the same building coverage, which Schmeiser illustrated on the board. A training session can be held to instruct developers if necessary. An example cited for percentage of coverage was in RS5 Zone, 40% of the lot area can be used for building MICROFILMED By JORM MICROLA13 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MONES it J r Page 3 Informal Council September 7, 1982 coverage. Neuhauser liked the extreme version which would allow orientation on the lot so that the long side of the house could be on the South to get the maximum exposure to solar heat. This could be in a PAD. Schmeiser is to provide staff commentary on why they are opposed to the extreme version. Control over placement was one issue. Jansen did not think a zoning could apply to a new area only. Minimum Open Space Schmeiser related that after review and discussion, the provision of minimum open -space was struck by Staff. They objected to forcing people to build balconies to meet the open -space requirements. Jansen added that comments were made, "why do we care -why do we want to regulate?". Berlin agreed that the requirement of 6000 square feet was a lot of open -space for a 12-plex, the open -space does not include parking lots, aisles. Part of the requirement is met by yard requirements. Council wished to think about this concept and discuss it again. Overview Schmeiser had planned to give an overview of the new Zoning Ordinance and special zones. Instead, he will put it in writing, and it will be distrib- uted to Council.

Jim Hynes presented material regarding an EPA seminar. Berlin will discuss with Schmadeke & Vitosh. REVIEW OF PROSPECTUS FOR HOTEL/PARCEL 641b 600-800 Site plans had been distributed. The Prospectus was in the packet. Erdahl questioned, as stated in the Introduction, if employment in the private sector had increased 5000 persons from 1976 to 1979. Hauer explained. Lynch suggested a deposit of more than $5,000. Berlin explained why it was set at that figure. Balmer noted concerns with the turn -around and exit for the parking ramp on Dubuque. Berlin stated that Zuchelli and City staff MICROFIL11E0 BY JORM MIC ROLAE3 CEDAR RAPIDS • DES 14014ES r' i i r Page 2 Informal Council September 13, 1982 had a list of contacts for the Prospectus.

She thanked the committee for their work. Atty. Jansen arrived, 5:10 PM. COUNCIL BUSINESS 1.

Boothroy advised that he would now send a copy to the County for their review. 833-1093 AGENDA 1. Balmer called attention to the letter from the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, requesting Council to appoint a member to the County Land and Use Preservation Commission, and suggested that because of the Mayor's background, that she be appointed. All Councilmembers agreed. 2. Neuhauser asked which Councilmembers would be attending the 7 PM, 9/29 meeting of the Convention of Mayors and Councilpersons. All but Balmer and Erdahl will be attending. 3. Berlin reminded everyone of the meeting with the Boards & Commission's Chairpersons on 3:30, 9/22 at the Highlander for the annual review. 4. Balmer asked the City Manager to investigate if the Library Board had to spend the balance of funds in the project budget, as stated in their minutes of 8/26. 5. Balmer voiced concerns with the statement made in the Human Rights Comm. minutes regarding Council interaction with civic organizations which might discriminate on the basis of sex. Helling advised that specifically the Jaycee sponsorship of fireworks in City Park was discussed. Neuhauser stated that Council could look at the issue, but noted that there are many other important issues and hoped that the Commission was spending enough time on those. 6. Neuhauser pointed out .the two recommendations made by the Human Rights Commission. One is regarding approval of asking background questions of applicants for Boards or Commission membership, which would help Council to appoint residents who represent various segments of the community. The second recommendation was regarding holding civic meet- ings in meeting rooms that are accessible. It was pointed out that if all city groups are given priority to use the Library, Recreation Center and Council Chambers, there will be scheduling problems and no use by the community. The Senior Center has meeting rooms, but the policy has been not to use them, Berlin noted. Previous efforts to make the Civic Center accessible will be reviewed and sent to Council.

The Engineering Dept. did not recommend waiver of the requirements of the previous agree- ment, but did not request the installation of the sidewalk now, either. The agreement is a lien against the property. Berlin advised that Council could have the sidewalk installed under the special assessment process. Hayek advised that his client had put $800 in escrow for sidewalk. Engr. Farmer stated that there are other lots in the area with no sidewalk and liens on them had not been released. Berlin noted that when this has come to Staff's attention previously, the owner has had to put the sidewalk in. Erdahl thought the sidewalk was needed. The item will be deferred for the City Attorney's written opinion regarding enforcement and legal implications. COUNCIL BUSINESS 1. Balmer suggested that there be city ially Willow Creek.

Lynch called attention to the need to modify the Roberts Rules of Order regarding counting of votes when Councilmember abstains. All want it to be counted a 'zero', neither an aye or a nay. The Attorney will draft a resolution. 4. Erdahl pointed out a correction to the priority for discussion of Council salaries on the pending list. He thought it would be discussed as soon as possible when all Councilmembers were planning to be present for an informal meeting. Berlin advised that it would be moved up in priority. 5. Balmer asked for a report on the progress of the committee working on negotiation of the Iowa -Illinois franchise. Perret outlined the com- mittee's work on the complicated issues so far, and explained why the franchise was not on this fall's election ballot. Special rates might be determined to be discriminatory. Atty. Jansen advised that there had been no ruling by the Iowa Commerce Commission on Dubuque's challen- ge. Berlin pointed out that there were many changes in the way the City uses gas and electricity in the last 25 years, so the committee would like to discuss a franchise for a lesser number of years. City,Atty. requested Council adopt the same policy as was in effect during negoti- ations of the cable franchise, by agreeing to not permit individual negotiations, but to allow the company to pursue any issue with the Council as a whole. There was a consensus to adopt this policy formally. 6. Erdahl reported on his meeting with the Chamber of Commerce regarding the Housing Committee he had suggested. A separate task force was suggested. He will meet with Berlin before approaching the University administration on the issue. There were no objections. Berlin suggested calling R. Bezanson or C. Mahon. 7. Berlin advised Dickson that he did not yet have an answer from staff regarding her question on HACAP. 8. Neuhauser called attention to a problem in an area where gas lights are used instead of street lights. As some gas lights are not now used, residents wish to have street lights installed. Dickson advised that a petition is being circulated. MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES J r Informal Council September 13, 1982 Page 4 9.
