Hold a public hearing to consider the vacation of right-of- way along the original alignment of Foster Road and St. Ann's Drive between Buresh Avenue and Prairie du Chien Road. Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held March 5, 1981, recommended by a 5-0 vote that the right-of-way along the original alignment of Foster Road be reduced from 66 to 55 feet and that the City retain a uniform 40 foot right-of-way along St. Ann's Drive. This recommendation is consistent with the staff's recommendation presented in a staff report dated March 5, 1981, which was attached to the Council agenda of March 24, 1981.

Consider a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to rezone a two -acre tract from R3 located on the west side of Emerald Street between Melrose Avenue and West Benton Street. Z-8102. Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held April 16, 1981, recommended by a 7-0 vote to approve the subject rezoning. The Commission also recommended by unanimous vote that the City enter into an agreement and protective covenant whereby the applicant recognizes the intent of the City to rezone the entire tract to a more restrictive zoning category in its forthcoming revised zoning ordinance and agrees not to expand the use of the property beyond 158 units in existence upon the date of the rezoning. A copy of this agreement and protective covenant is included in the Council packet for your information. This document has been reviewed and found to be in acceptable form by the Legal Department. These recommendations are not totally consistent with the staff's recommendation presented in a staff report dated March 24, 1981, which is attached to the Council's agenda. Action: c. Consider setting a public hearing for June 2, 1981, to consider rezoning a two acre tract of land from R3 to R3A located on the west side of Emerald Street between Melrose Avenue and West Benton Street.

Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held April 16, 1981, recommended by a 7-0 vote to approve the preliminary and final plat and planned area development of Regency Gardens located west of Mark IV Apartments and south of Westwinds development subject to the following: 1) the signatures of the utility companies being provided; 2) the legal papers being revised; 3) the easement line shown on Lot 6 being denoted; 4) the driveways being located 18 feet apart at the curb line or the street beinq posted No Parking; 5) the drainage course for the stormwater management being shown on the preliminary plans; and 6) the PAD ordinance meeting all ordinances at the time the PAD is adopted by City Council. This recommendation is consistent with the staff's recommenda- tion presented in a staff report dated April 2, 1981, which i s.attached to the Council's agenda. A public hearing is scheduled to be held on the planned area development on May 19, 1981. A letter from the developer's attorney, Tom Cilek, is included in the correspondence on the Consent Calendar requesting that the Council give the first considera- tion to the ordinance approving this development at the time of the public hearing. j MICROFILMED BY !JORM MICROLAB (CEDAR RAP DS- DES 1101 NES A Agenda Regular Council Meetinr" May 5, 1981 7:30 P.M. Page 6 Item No. 4 cont'd. e. Consider a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission to amend Section 8.10.20D.2 and 8.10.20E.2 of the Code of Ordinances of Iowa City (Planned Area Development Ordinance). Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held April 16, 1981, recommended by a 7-1 vote to amend Sections 8.10.20D.2 and 8.10.20E.2 of the Planned Area Development Ordinance to permit the calculation of density by dwelling units, rather than population, and on the basis of the least restrictive use within a Planned Area Development. For example, under the R3 zone classification, the flexibility provided by the subject amendment would allow approval of a PAD with a density range between 3,000 square feet per unit to 5,000 square feet per unit depending upon the character of the development. This recommendation is consistent with the staff's recommendation. A public hearing is scheduled on this item for May 19, 1981. A copy of the ordinance is included in the Council packet. Action: f. Consider a recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission that the recommendations of the Melrose Corridor Committee be approved. Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held April 16, 1981, recommended by a 7-0 vote to approve the following recommendations of the Melrose Corridor Committee. The Committee finds, based on information presented to us including traffic counts and films, and our ensuing discus- sions, that there does not appear to be unacceptable traffic congestion in the Melrose Corridor at this time. Therefore, the Committee makes the following recommendations. 1. That the implementation of the Melrose traffic circle not be considered as a future option to solve traffic problems in the area. 2. That the currently planned widening of the South Ryington/Grand Avenue intersection to two lanes would appear to he an adequate improvement to meet the current traffic needs. MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOINES Agenda Regular Council Meetinf� May 5, 1981 7:30 P.M. Page 7 Item No. 4 cont'd. Action: Action: 3. That further improvements need to be considered to accommodate pedestrian traffic on Melrose Court and across Melrose Avenue at Melrose Court and to specifi- cally reconsider our previous recommendations con- cerning these issues. 4. That if in the future increased traffic demands on the Melrose Corridor would necessitate a major new traffic facility, then the Committee would recommend that the Melrose Diagonal without median should be included among the options considered to remedy the traffic congestion. This should be considered an acceptable option only at such time as there are no longer private properties fronting on Grand Avenue Court. )'ei l g. Resolution releasing agreement to dedicate right-of-way for the extension of West Benton Street. Comment: The City and Robert Bartelt and George and Beatrice Petsel entered into an agreement in December 1967 in which the property owners agreed to dedicate 40 feet of right-of- way for the construction of Benton Street west of Moran Trek Boulevard if and when the City decided to extend the street. The current property. owners have requested that the City release them from this obligation so they can complete their planning for the development of the real estate in question. The Planning and Zoning Commission at their regular meeting, April 2, 1981, made a unanimous finding that the property owners should be released from the agreement N `✓C41 3v?,ncv I� W �I velo'Ito a I -1c_01it I 1 ,oi, 1�eo--y+s i IA 1, — MICROFILMED BY 'JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES Agenda Regular Council Meetin May 5, 1981 7:30 P.M.

Page 14 Item No. 24 - CONSIDER RESOLUTION RECLASSIFYING TWO PERMANENT FULL-TIME POSITIONS IN THE EQUIPMENT SERVICE DIVISION AND ONE PERMANENT FULL-TIME —�— POSITIONS IN THE PARKS AND RECREATION DEPARTMENT/PARKS DIVISION. Comment: EQUIPMENT SERVICE DIVISION The newly appointed Equipment Service Superintendent has recommended a reorganization of job duties in the Parts/Rebuild section of the Equipment Service Division which would affect the classification of the now vacant Senior Mechanic position and that of the incumbent Maintenance Worker II. Supervisory responsibility for Parts/Rebuild will be assumed by the Shop Supervisor rather than requiring a Senior Mechanic. The position will then be filled as a Mechanic I, who will perform general line mechanic work on City vehicles. These changes will, however, create additional responsibilities in the area of parts inventory for the Maintenance Worker II position, necessitating a reclassification to Maintenance Worker III. PARKS DIVISION The employee in the position for which reclassification is being recommended currently performs the following duties normally performed by a position classified as Senior Maintenance Worker: skilled building construction, rough and finish carpentry and remodeling, interior and exterior painting, cement work; acts as a lead worker of a crew involved in building construction or grounds maintenance. Projects that have been completed by the employee currently in this position include work in Parks Department buildings, in the Rec Center, Animal Shelter, Bus Barn, Civic Center and complete construction of the new Accounting Division location, for which a great savings in construction costs can be estimated. These reclassifications will result in no additional costs in FY81, and a cost savings of $200 in FY82_ Action: L'.

Comment: The resolution establishing fees for Certificates of Structure Compliance and Rental Permits is being proposed in accordance with the provisions of the new Iowa City Housing Code. The fee schedule has been drafted using the figures which have been suggested by the Iowa City Apartment Association. This fee schedule, once implemented, will satisfy the $50,000 goal on fee collections as outlined by the City Council. In addition, fees would be collected in conJunction with the required inspections rather than on an annual basis.
