trucks have been borrowed and additional temporary hours have been
added to help keep up with the pace and catch up the backlog.
7. Discussed the preliminary goals for the FY1983 budget. The first
round of requests from the various departments in the library
indicates the need for two additional full time staff persons to keep
up with the work load. These two persons would actually be the staff
that we lost during FY1981. '
8. Noted that we now have a total of 72 volunteers on the current
roster. While volunteers do help greatly, it also takes a great deal
of staff time to recruit, train and supervise them.
9. Discussed the need for more air conditioning in the Community
Programming Production Studio operated by Hawkeye CableVision in the
library. The Board reviewed the lease and determined that it appears
to be Hawkeye's responsibility to furnish additional air
conditioning. The Board will send a letter to Hawkeye stating this
position.
The President reported on the following:
1. Welcomed Ann Bagford, FRIENDS liaison to the Library Board.

substance of this policy was approved in August and only two minor
revisions were made. Immermann/Gritsch.

The Board approved the amendment concerning method of payment to the lease
between the Library Board and Hawkeye CableVision. Informal approval had
been given at the August meeting. Lyman/Immermann.
The Board considered a request for $500 from Gifts and Bequests Fund to
allow for the printing of a brochure for the grand opening activities in
November. Since the brochure was unbudgeted, the Board approved the
request. Bartley/Drum.
Following a discussion, the Board recommended that the top priority for
the FY1983 budget goal should be the reinstatement of the 2 staff persons
that we lost in FY1981. These two persons are needed just to maintain our
current service level. The Board also requested a proposal from library
staff concerning what additional costs would be incurred to reinstate
Sunday hours.
The meeting was adjourned at 5:50 P.M.
The next Library Board of Trustees Regular Meeting will be on Thursday,
October 22, 1981, at 4:00 P.M., in the Administrative Conference Room on
the second floor of the library.
NOTE: Herb Lyman and Carolyn Cavitt will both be unable to attend this

Board Members Absent: Mark, Toni, Royal
Staff Present: Jack, Lin
General Update: MYEP now has a dictaphone, and a phone number separate from
HACAP's (337-3020)
Budget for United Way has been prepared but not evaluated. For the meeting on
the 22nd, we will be submitting both a fiscal and a calender year budget. Jack
requested that someone from the board make part of the initial presentation
which will include 16 minutes of videotape. Royal Benjamin and Jean Williams
were suggested as appropriate representatives. Following the introduction,
Jack will give an update and make prognostications.
Classie Hoyle announced that she has been reappointed to the MYEP board by
the school board.
New Budget; Review of eligibility guidelines from the program committee.
Hayne questioned the 7000 lower living standard income level.figure; Classie
asked if government standards for income vary among programs. Jack indicated
that these guidelines came from the state.
Program Update: IOU applications have been given out and, to date, 63 have
been received, compared to 43 last year at this time. Jack indicated that
the program is picking up student participants from summer CETA programs,
and he anticipates more after 1 October. To expand the participant base,
some students will be restricted to a six, rather than a ten-hour week.
MYEP staff will be working with students terminated in January to develop
those job skills necessary for competitive employment, and will be offering
similar seminars for participants on the waiting list.
Lin is redoing both the supervisor's handbook and the student brochure:
both should be ready before the end of the month.
If we can find enough support, we will start a jobs clearinghouse, concurrent
with developing more job sites in the private sector.
We will be filing quarterly reports with the city, copies of which will be
available to board members at their meetings.
Follow Up On Youth T3 Be Appointed To The Board: Nothing has been done to
date. Classie asked if the youth must be on the program to qualify; Jack
thought not.
Cart: Currently, the toasteroven is burnt out. Royal has asked to use the
cart on home -game weekends. Much discussion about the possibility of renting
the cart, with either a flat fee or a percentage reverting to MYEP. Jack
will look into it. The board encouraged the use of the cart before the
next meeting, and suggested during home games, locating it as close to
possible to the stadium, using either one of the university's parking lots
or the Melrose Day Care Center property. During the summer, the cart

CIVIC CENTER COUNCIL CHAMBERS
MEMBERS PRESENT: Bartels, Vanderhoef, Harris, Milligan, Barker
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: Boothroy, Behrman, Milkman, Woito
FORMAL ACTION TAKEN:
V-8114. The application submitted by K. M. Sheker for a variance to Section
8.10.35.6A and B to erect on -premises facia signs for identification and
advertising in the R3 zone was approved with specific conditions as follows:
the signs should not exceed 91 sq. ft. in total area, with no more than 60 sq.
ft. on the north side and 39 sq. ft. on the west side, the signs to be internally
illuminated only during the hours of operation of the business conducted on the
premises.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Harris called the meeting to order. Boothroy called the roll. Harris outlined
the procedure followed by the Board of Adjustment.
VARIANCE ITEMS:
V-8114. Public hearing on an application submitted by K. M. Sheker for a
variance to Section 8.10.35.6A and B to erect on -premises facia signs for
identification in advertising in an R3 zone.
Milkman described the zoning history of the property located at the corner of N.
Dodge and Davenport Street. Milkman stated that the property was a non-
conforming use that had been there for a number of years. Total signage footage
from previous leases (Hawkeye Dairy Store) was 91 square feet. The applicant
was requesting signs for the north and west face of the building; three panels
of 41x10' for a total of 120 square feet (2 panels to be erected on the north
side and one on the west side). Milkman explained that while the signage is not
permitted in an R3 zone, it was the opinion of the City Attorney's office that if
a non -conforming use was permitted, then signs could be permitted. Milkman
compared this property to a similar type of property in a C1 zone, stating that
in this zone only a total of 99 square feet of signage would be permitted.
Milkman stated the previous sign was spotlight illuminated; the applicant was
requesting an internally illuminated sign. The staff's recommendation was to
grant a variance that limited the total square footage of signage to no more
than 99 square feet and preferably to 90 square feet.
Harris asked if there was anyone who wished to speak on this item.
Kermit Sheker, 239 Highland Drive, pharmacist/operator of the property, spoke in
favor of granting the variance, stating he had taken the standard of

commercially available signs and applied it to the building. Sheker stated that
the internally illuminated sign was aesthetically pleasing and would be on only
during business hours.' Sheker stated that to replace the signage at this point
would be a hardship.
Bartels asked if Sheker had investigated obtaining similar signs in smaller
sizes. Sheker said that a 31x8' version of the sign was available in a slightly
different style.
The members discussed the coloring of the sign. Vanderhoef wondered if Sheker
picked that size sign to cover defects in the building structure. Sheker said
no. The members discussed the possibility of alternative sizes and Bartels
asked the price of the present system. Sheker answered that this signage system
was $1,000 while the 3'x8' size would be $750. Vanderhoef asked if there would
be a loss of impact on potential customers if the signs were smaller. Sheker
felt there would be and outlined the rental history of the property.
Ola Fincke, 402 N. Dodge, spoke against the application, protesting the erection
of an internally illuminated sign as it was aesthetically displeasing. Fincke
questioned the need for a pharmacy/grocery store in the neighborhood, citing
past problems of heavy traffic, lack of parking space, and noise.
Bartels wondered about parking requirements for a grocery store/pharmacy. Woito
stated that the property didn't have to meet parking requirements because it was
a continuing non -conforming use.
Lawrence Howsare, owner of the building, answered some questions about previous
uses.
Boothroy said that the pharmacy/grocery store was a neighborhood type use.
Staff felt that a neighborhood use did not require the same amount of signage as
the same type of property in a general commercial zone. Boothroy suggested that
the Board of Adjustment use the C1 zoning standard for signage as a guide when
considering this variance.
M. J. Dolan, 319 N. Dodge, asked when the sign would be illuminated as the past
sign was spotlit all night at times.
Sheker answered the sign would be lit only during business hours from 8 a.m.
till approximately 9 p.m.
Harris stated there were two ways to lessen the impact on the neighborhood: 1)
cut down the intensity of illumination, and 2) decide upon the size of the
signage. Vanderhoef wondered if a smaller size would require a variance.
Harris said yes.
The members discussed possible wording of a motion, attempting to incorporate
the illumination method, hours and size of the signage.
Sheker stated that the internally illuminated sign was originally proposed
because it was unobtrusive. Barker agreed. Woito asked that the Board weigh
the burden placed on the public by the obtrusiveness of the internally
illuminated versus spotlit sign. Boothroy said a variance could be granted
subject to special conditions.

Barker stated that the applicant should have the leeway of a C1 zoning. Bartels
disagreed.
Vanderhoef moved that a variance be granted to install an on -premise internally
illuminated advertising and identification facia sign not to exceed 91 square
feet in total area with no greater than 60 square feet on the north side and 39
square feet on the west side, these signs to be illuminated only during hours of
operation of the business conducted on the premises. Milligan seconded. Woito
polled the members. The motion carried unanimously.
The consideration of the minutes from July 21, 1981, August 13, 1981, and

Z-8106. Public discussion of an application submitted by Donald S.
Nielsen for approval of the rezoning of the property located at 700 S.
Capitol Street; 45 -day limitation period: waived.
Jakobsen advised the Commission that this item would also require an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Jakobsen asked i1panyone was present
to speak on this item. No one responded. Blum mentioned that Goldene
Haendel of the Housing Commission had requested that this item be placed
on the agenda of the next regular meeting for possible discussion.
Blum moved that this item be deferred until similar items requiring an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan are considered but that the item be
placed on the agenda for possible discussion at the next regular meeting.
Seward seconded. The Motion carried unanimously.
Amendment of the Com rehensive Plan for an area located south of Myrtle
ve—nue, northerCRI a-1TroacF_tracks and west of Riverside Drive -
changing the land use designation from 16-24 du/acre to 24+ du/acre and
general commercial.
Jakobsen asked if anyone was present to speak on this item. No one was.
There was a general consensus that this item should also be deferred until
such time as similar items requiring an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan were considered. All agreed.
Z-8107. Public discussion of an application submitted by Plum Grove
Tc—res, res, Inc. for the rezoning of a 7.3 acre tract of land from R1A to R3
located at the southeast corner of Scott Boulevard and Court Street; 45 -
day limitation period: 10/11/81.
Boothroy discussed the location and the zoning history of the area in
question. The staff recommended denial of the application unless the
applicant changed the request to rezoning only the north portion of the
property to R3 and leaving the south portion single-family. Boothroy
explained the Comprehensive Plan shows the applicant's property as only
partially within the higher density area, with dwelling unit density in
the request area varying from two to 16 units per acre. In accord with the
Comprehensive Plan, the intent seems to be that of integrating the area
with single-, two-family and multi -family units, but in a manner which
provides a transition of land uses with multiple -family residences
opposing existing R3A development to the west and future commercial and
multi -family residences to the north. The applicant's request is not
consistent with this intent as the southern portion of the property, if
rezoned, would oppose existing single-family residences without the
benefits of the type of land use transition envisioned by the plan.
Boothroy stated that if the applicant would amend his application to be
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, the staff would recommend
approval of the request.

Jakobsen asked if anyone was present to speak on this item.
Bruce Randall, 3328 Shamrock Drive, spoke in opposition to this item for a
number of reasons: 1) the single-family residential area should be
maintained; 2) the neighborhood schools were at maximum capacity; 3) the
heavy traffic in area, and 4) the existing problems of stormwater
drainage. Randall presented a photocopy of a petition from over 100
residents of this area opposed to rezoning.
Frank Burns, 3304 Shamrock Drive, spoke against this item, expressing
concern over the water drainage problem in the area and the possibility
that rezoning would aggravate the problem.
Jakobsen stated that no development plan had been submitted to answer
these concerns, emphasizing that this was a request for rezoning. Blum
stated that the stormwater runoff issue was not addressed with the
rezoning request by the Commission, saying that until development plans
are submitted, the Stormwater Management Ordinance would not apply.
Hugh Mose, 3410 Shamrock Drive, spoke againstrezoning, and wondered at
the difference between R3 and R3A. Boothroy explained. Mose restated the
concerns expressed by previous speakers, adding concern for the economic
impact on his property.
Barb Broffitt, 3029 East Court, spoke against rezoning, expressing
concern over increased traffic.
Jerry Atkins, 3417 Shamrock Drive, spoke against rezoning, saying the
sewage system was already working at capacity and could not handle
increased density in that area. Jakobsen asked Boothroy what the sewage
capacity for that area was. Boothroy stated it would not be a problem
with this development.
Bruce Glasgow, 834 North Johnson, President of Plum Grove Acres, Inc.,
spoke in favor of the application. Glasgow outlined the history of Plum
Grove Acres, Inc., and its development record in Iowa City. Glasgow
mentioned past attempts to develop this property which were delayed by the
City for various reasons. In answer to the objections based on keeping the
area single-family residential, Glasgow stated that the rezoning request
was for attached single-family housing and not for apartment zoning.
Glasgow attempted to answer the main objection, the drainage problem,
stating that the plan for development would require stormwater
management, which would take care of the drainage problem.
Seward asked Glasgow about a planned exit from the housing development
across Shamrock Drive. Glasgow stated there would be another exit off
Court Street. Seward asked about plans for screening the development from

the nearby single-family houses. Glasgow said that only two houses were
across the street from the area and that while screening was a
possibility, he hoped the housing development would be attractive enough
that screening would not be considered necessary.
Glasgow fielded questions .from the public, mostly about drainage
concerns.
Delores Burns, 3304 Shamrock Drive, voiced concern over drainage. Blum
stated that the applicant would be required to meet the Stormwater
Management Ordinance upon the development of the property in question.
Woito stated that the City Engineer would have to approve plans for
stormwater management.
Frank Burns asked Glasgow if the water drainage situation would be better
or worse after the area was developed. Glasgow said it would be better.
Jakobsen wondered if this item required an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan. Blum thought not, stating that the Comprehensive Plan was a general
land use planning tool and not a zoning map.
Jakobsen stated that if the Planning and Zoning Commission approved the
application, that it would mean that an amendment to the Comprehensive
Plan was not required and if, denied, the Planning and Zoning Commission
would have to discuss the application's relation to the Comprehensive
Plan.
Horton asked that the staff's recommendation be repeated. Boothroy said
that the staff's recommendation was to deny the present application.
Boothroy discussed the idea of the applicant submitting a PAD. Woito
cautioned advocating a mixed -zoning solution for the applicant and
suggested that a split zoning alternative be eliminated from the staff's
recommendation.
Blum moved that the application be approved. Jordan seconded. Woito
stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission should decide whether the
application required an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan and if it
didn't, then how large a parcel would fit into the overall density of that
area. McDonald stated that a vote for approval would be a vote against
requiring an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
The public interjected that they didn't want rezoning. Jakobsen pointed
out that the public should realize that the area would have to be rezoned
eventually to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Seward asked if
Glasgow would waive the 45 -day limitation period. Glasgow said no.

The motion to approve the application failed unanimously.

Glasgow submitted an amendment to the application consistent with the
staff's recommendations.
Blum moved that the last motion be reconsidered. Seward seconded. The
Planning and Zoning Commission decided that a two-thirds majority would
reconsider a motion. Seward stated that if Glasgow gave the Planning and
Zoning Commission a waiver, the item would be considered at the next
regular meeting, if the motion to reconsider the previous motion carried.
The motion to reconsider the previous motion passed unanimously.
The Commission approved deferring this item until the end of the agenda by
general consensus.
Jakobsen stated, to the public's benefit, that, if the letter waiving the
limitation period was received, the Commission would vote on deferring the
application until such time as the public could discuss and the Commission
could consider the amended application. Jakobsen stated that if no letter
waiving the limitation period was recieved, the Commission would
reconsider the motion to deny the application.
Z-8108. Public discussion of an application submitted by University
Tap ist t Church for the rezoning of a four acre tract of land from R1A to R3
located at the northeast corner of Westgate and Benton Streets; 45 -day

Keller discussed location and zoning history of the surrounding area.
Keller stated that the rezoning would be consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan. Keller stated that although no assurances had been received with
regard to stormwater management, the staff recommend approval of this
application.
Jakobsen asked if anyone was present to speak on this item.
G. Paul Hoherd, 724 Wheaton Road, spoke against rezoning, citing the
stormwater runoff problem as the main reason for concern. Hoherd stated
that he had a petition from three-fourths of the landowners from Westgate
Street, West Benton Street.
Merle Meyers, 4 Westgate Circle, spoke against rezoning for the drainage
problems mentioned.

Blum wondered how many property owners it would take to raise the question
of legal objection. Boothroy stated it would require objections from 20
percent of the property owners immediately adjacent to the rear or
directly opposite the property in question.
Randall Miller, representing the University Baptist Church, spoke in
favor of the application. Miller stated that less land area would be put
under concrete when developing the property for multi -family as opposed to
single-family. Miller also stated that the engineering drawings for the
property recommended putting stormwater management in the north portion
of the property.
Jakobsen suggested that this item be deferred until the next meeting. All
