Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held July 2, 1981, recommended by a 5-0 vote to approve the preliminary plat of Dean Oakes Third Addition located west of Dean Oakes First Addition along Oakes Drive Extended subject to the following deficiencies and discrep- ancies: 1. A note being added to the plat showing the modification in the street cross-section at Prairie du Chien and Rita Linn Avenue; 2. Note 11 being revised to read "actual location of lift station will be determined by the City Engineer"; 3. Plat being revised to show a 12 inch trunk sewer line from the lift station to the south property line, along the drainageway west of the proposed subdivision. The City should also investigate cost-sharing of the trunk sewer and the consideration of allowing some of the sewer to be located along back lot lines; 4. The note for the maximum amount of storage in stormwater basin number one is inaccurate and should be corrected; F. Additional easements should be provided around the culverts at Perry Road and Rita Linn Avenue, on lot 20, a 15 to 20 foot easement around the force main, and a ten foot drainage easement on the outside of lots 22 and 23; I MICROFILMED BY !JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MOINES ..7.

A storm sewer should be extended along the back of lots 22 and 23 to the detention pond and a manhole placed at the corner of lots 22 and 23; 7. Note 5b should be revised to reflect the correct acreage of the proposed subdivision. This recommendation is consistent with the staff recommenda- tion presented in a staff report dated July 2, 1981, which is included in the Council's packet. Also included in the Council's packet is a memo from Karin Franklin further explaining the issues that need to be resolved prior to Council's consideration.

Consider setting a public hearing August 11, 1981, to consider an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance permitting mobile home residential zone and an amendment to Chapter 22 regarding mobile home park standards. Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held July 2, 1981, recommended by a 4-1 vote approval of the subject amendments. These amendments provide a new zone within the Zoning Ordinance referred to as the mobile residential zone (RMH) and revise the existing Chapter 22 regarding mobile home park standards, altering the minimum standards for parks and the review process. Copies of the proposed ordinance and amendment to Chapter 22 have been mailed to all park owners within the City of Iowa City for additional comments. A copy of the proposed amendments have been included in the Council's packet. This item will be scheduled for discussion for a future informal Council meeting. Staff will be present at that time to explain in detail the proposed ordinance. Action: __1% / 4�64� 4/O Action: d. Public hearing to consider an ordinance amending the Sign Ordinance of the Code of Ordinances of Iowa City, Iowa (redefining front wall and facia sign). Comment: The Planning and Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held June 4, 1981, recommended by a 4-0 vote approval of the subject amendment. This recommendation is consistent with the staff's recommendation. Approval of this ordinance would allow facia signs to be located on mansard roofs by redefining the angle of the front wall of the building from 60 degrees to 45 degrees. There are a number of signs in the Iowa City area which are presently non -conforming and this ordinance would make them conforming upon its passage. A copy of the ordinance was included in the Council's packet of June 16, 1981. Unless there are objections presented at the public hearing, the Council may wish to proceed to give this item its necessary readings and final consideration. Q 0. 1J�m, - °� c, 1 I �, A" at* .
