MEMORANDUM
Date: October 16, 1980
To: City Council and City Manager
From: Larry Chiat, Development Coordinator
Andrea Hauer, Planner/Program Analyst
Re: Preliminary Design Plans Submitted by Plaza Towers Associates
I. INTRODUCTION
This memorandum presents the staff response to the preliminary design
plans submitted by Plaza Towers Associates on August 29, 1980.
Initially, the staff will make two recommendations to the City Council.
First, that the general approval of the preliminary design plans by the
Council be made subject to the stipulations and conditions contained in
the recommendation of the Design Review Committee, dated September 17,
1980. Second, that further information from the developer be required
in order to assure compliance with the following specification mandated
by the Prospectus:
Provide a central HVAC system or an acceptable alternative
system approved by the City.
The plans submitted for the HVAC system need to be detailed further. It
appears that there could be up to six separate systems to service the
hotel and department store. It should be noted that staff has not found
that the developer has failed to comply with this required
specification. Rather, further information from the developer should
be required to assure compliance with the above items.
II. ISSUES RELATING TO THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLANS
As might be expected, staff has found the plans to be in the preliminary
stages, and some information on the development is still unknown or
uncertain. Upon review of these plans, staff feels that the following
issues are of concern and it is recommended that the Council require
that the developer further address these issues prior to final Council
approval of the preliminary design plans:
A. There is a problem with respect to the Linn Street entrance/exit in
that it presents a conflict between the safe passage of pedestrians
traveling north -south on the Linn Street sidewalk and the east -
west vehicular traffic emerging from the service and receiving
areas of the hotel/department store. This entrance/exit should be
very clearly marked and signed for both the safety of the
pedestrians and the vehicles. A similar problem will also exist at
the Dubuque Street entrance/exit.

B. There is some concern as to how the "Boardwalk" will function
safely and effectively, especially as a two-way street. Again,
signage, street striping, and traffic barriers are needed to
protect the safety of the pedestrian traffic passing at the Dubuque
Street and Linn Street intersections with the Boardwalk. In
addition, it is not clear as to whether a sidewalk, which would
permit pedestrians to walk in a east -west direction, will parallel
the Boardwalk.
C. The size of the hotel/department store service and receiving areas
may be inadequate. The extent of this problem cannot be identified
at this time because the exact number and types of retail tenants
are not known. Staff is concerned that the frequency of use of the
receiving area together with the number of service vehicles could
result in congestion that could overflow onto Dubuque and/or Linn
Street.
Staff feels that the underground ramping of the service and
receiving areas is an effective design approach that alleviates
many of the problems and conflicts that could occur between the
service and the hotel vehicular traffic. It is felt that with
adequate signage, street,striping, and traffic barriers that most
of the safety issues can be solved.
D. It is not clear as to whether the hotel drive-through lane will be
functional in terms of use by buses.
E. Staff is concerned about the the lack of entrances for the
department store on its College Street side, especially with the
new library opening directly across the street. Staff recommends
that an additional store entrance be placed on the corner of Linn
and College Streets, and possibly place another entrance on
College Street at a midpoint between Governor Lucas Square and Linn
Street. The architect has indicated that Armstrong's would
consider constructing additional entrances.
F. The architect indicated that the facade on the Linn Street side
would consist of display windows and smaller cut-out type windows
for the basement level. However, this design is still in the
preliminary stages. Staff recommends that the developer explore
placing an entrance on this side.
III. ADDITIONAL CONCERNS RELATING TO THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN PLANS
The staff has the following additional concerns relating to the
preliminary design plans:
A. The exact scale being used on these plans should be clearly
identified.

- ^1 3
B. Because the galleria leading from the parking ramp to the hotel
entrance will be closed at nights after 9 or 10 p.m., the question
arises as to where the after-hours entrance to the hotel will be.
It would seem desirable to have an additional hotel entrance on the
Dubuque Street/City Plaza side to remedy this problem.
C. More information concerning the size, noise level, and the
exterior screening of the mechanical equipment for the building
(i.e. near Governor Lucas Square and fountain) should be required
by the Council prior to final approval of the preliminary design
plans. For instance, the hotel kitchen is located directly below
Governor Lucas Square and it would not seem desirable to have this
kitchen vent its exhaust onto the City Plaza. It should be noted
that the hotel elevator equipment and housing will protrude above
the 14th floor.
D. The Prospectus states that the health club facilities should be
placed adjoining the swimming pool "if appropriate". It should be
noted that the Plaza Towers Association design shows the swimming
pool in the basement and the health club facilities on the second
floor. This could present a problem 'for a health club user who
would also wish to use the pool.
E. It should be emphasized that no code compliance review of these
preliminary design plans has been attempted. Various changes in
the plans can be anticipated in order to assure compliance with the
building code. At this point potential code problems that are
apparent include the lack of secondary egress from the ballroom, in
the basement, and that the stairways from the 3rd to 13th floors
appear to be located too close to each other.
F. If plant materials are going to be used for this development, they
should be identified and are subject to City review and approval.
G. The color of the exterior facade, the materials and pattern of the
materials for the facade have not yet been identified and are
subject to City review and approval.
H. The lighting and signage for the project are subject to City review
and approval.
I. With respect to the requirements stated in,the Prospectus on the
size of this development, the following should be noted:
1. The department store consists of 9,688 square feet in the
basement, 29,281 square feet on the first floor, and 36,030
square feet on the second floor, for a total of 74,999 square
feet. This is within the 75,000 square feet maximum
established by the Prospectus.

2. The small shop retail space consists of 3,462 square feet on
i
the first floor of the hotel, 5,783 square feet on the second
!k
floor of the hotel, and 5,755 square feet in the basement of
G
the department store portion of the development. This is a
total of 15,000 square feet of small shop retail, which is the
maximum established by the Prospectus.
3. The developer indicates that there will be a total of 15,450
square feet in the basement of the department store portion
"
for "office, service and.storage." The plans submitted by
Plaza Towers Associates in April, 1980, indicated a total of
9,584 square feet in the basement of the department store
portion for "storage". The developer indicates that this
change has resulted from recently completed soil boring
tests, which apparently dictate that a full excavation is
necessary for the foundation.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 10, 1980
To: City Manager and City Council
From: Rosemary Vitosh, Larry Chiat, Roger Scholten, Andrea Hauer
Re: Industrial Revenue Bond Policy and Procedures
Attached is a draft of the proposed Industrial Revenue Bond policy and
procedures. Also attached are three articles dealing with recent comments
on IRBs and a synopsis of the Congressional Budget Office study. It is
expected that additions and revisions to the City policy will be necessary
due to changing state and federal policies. One or two comments have been
inserted in this draft to indicate where changes may be made in the near
future.
The draft policy and procedures is divided into three sections; policy,
procedures, and the application form. The policy outlines the City's
.intent in issuing the INS for commercial projects; the industrial project
section remains to be drafted. The definition of "public purpose" remains
very general; it is hoped that the Congressional Budget Office report
might be more specific in its definition of public purpose. In addition,
the City's policy proposes to limit the aggregate amount of outstanding
IRBs to five percent of the City's total assessed valuation which is
comparable to the state -imposed five percent limitation for a city's
outstanding General Obligation bonds.
Please note that within the policy section, the financing portion outlines
several alternative approaches, and these alternatives should be
discussed by Council on Monday.
The procedures section details the requirements that an applicant must
fulfill. Please note that we have proposed, in an effort to increase
public participation in the IRB process, that the City set up an
evaluation committee composed of City staffinembers to work either with the
Planning and Zoning Commission or a newly -created commission to review the
IRB application. The recommendations from the committee and commission
will be sent to the City Council.
The application form section was presented to the Council several weeks
ago. Some minor additions and corrections have been made since then,
however, this section reads substantially the same.
We will be present at the City Council meeting on Monday afternoon to
answer any questions you might have regarding this draft.

INDUSTRIAL REVENUE BOND
POLICY AND PROCEDURES
FOR THE CITY OF IOWA CI Y, IOWA
I. POLICY
A. INTRODUCTION
Chapter 419 of the Iowa Code grants authority to incorporated cities
to issue Industrial Revenue Bonds (IRBs) for certain private
enterprise projects (Section 419.1(2))..The Iowa Urban Revitaliza-
tion Act of 1979 has amended Chapter 419 to allow for the issuance of
IRBs for commercial projects located within locally designated urban
renewal or urban revitalization areas. All IRBs issued pursuant to
Chapter 419 are limited obligations of the municipality, with the
principal of and interest on such bonds payable solely out of the
revenues derived from the project (Section 419.3).
B. INTENT
The intent of this policy is to provide an organized and consistent
approach to, and mechanism for, the evaluation and processing of
Industrial Revenue Bond requests. This policy statement will
provide to potentially interested persons an outline of how an IRB
request would be considered by the City Council. It should be
emphasized that the intent of this policy is to assure that each IRB
issue is in the best interests of the City, and will assist in the
implementation of private projects which will improve and enhance
Iowa City. The City is in no way obligated to issue an IRB upon an
applicant's request, but will evaluate each application based on the
criteria set forth herein. Furthermore, the total aggregate amount
of IRBs outstanding at any one time shall not exceed 5% of the total
assessed valuation of Iowa City.
C. LEGAL COMPLIANCE
All procedures leading to the issuance of an IRB, as well as the
applicant's utilization of the proceeds from any IRB issue, shall be
in compliance with applicable federal, state, and local laws, and the
policies and requirements as are contained herein. The
responsibility for compliance shall in all cases rest with the
applicant. The only covenant or warranty which the municipality
shall be required to make in connection with the proposed IRB
issuance, either to the applicant or to any other interested party,
is that said municipality is a corporation or political subdivision
of the State of Iowa, organized and existing under the laws of said
State.
D. APPLICANT'S RESPONSIBILITIES
Except as hereinafter provided, and except as required by law, .t
shall be the applicant's responsibility to provide all necessary
documents, forms, and related materials, and to advise the City and
other parties of all required actions.

E. POLICIES APPLICABLE TO COMMERCIAL PROJECTS
1. Consistent with state law, the City will consider issuance of
IRBS for a commercial project only if said project is located
within the City's Urban Renewal Project Area (see Exhibit A) or
within such urban revitalization areas as the City may
hereinafter designate, pursuant to Chapter 419. Projects in
this area requesting IRBS should fulfill the goals and
objectives as contained in the Urban Renewal Plan (1979) (See
Exhibit B).
2. All commercial projects will be subject to design review by the
Design Review Committee procedures and the City Council,
pursuant to Resolution
3. IRBS issued by the City shall be used to leverage new
commitments to downtown redevelopment, and will not be approved
for projects that would occur even without the utilization of
IRBS.
Comment: According to the Iowa Office of Planning and
Programming's Handbook for Urban Revitalization (1980), if a
developer is will g to proceed without t IRBS, the IRBS should
not be provided by the City. In addition, it is anticipated
that OPP's forthcoming report on IRBS will be concerned with the
issue that often additional public resources and money are
needed together with the IRB to assure a project's success.
This additional public money and resources could be interpreted
as a subsidy which would put the "non-subsidized" facilities at
a commercial disadvantage. The OPP report may also be
commenting on the potential impact of having several IRB
projects competing in a limited local bond market, i.e. that
there may be the potential for market over-crowding.
4. FINANCING CRITERIA
Alternative #1:
The City requires that applicants, prior to application, make a
substantial good faith effort to obtain conventional financing
upon such reasonable terms and conditions as prevail in the
marketplace at the time. If the applicant can demonstrate that
conventional financing is unavailable, the City will then
consider the applicant's request for IRBS on the basis of the
criteria listed herein. In order to satisfactorily document
the unavailability of conventional financing for the proposed
project, the applicant shall be required to submit three
statements from reputable lenders confirming said
unavailability and stating the reasons therefor. Said
statements shall be submitted to the City at the time of
application.

Alternative #2:
The basic policy of the City with respect to financing criteria
is as described above (Alternative #1). However, applicants
may choose to apply for IRBs without first seeking conventional
financing, but the burden shall be on the applicant to establish
that its proposed project is extraordinary in the degree to
which it serves the public purposes described below. The Staff
Evaluation Committee (described below) shall review such
requests to waive the conventional financing requirement and
offer a recommendation thereon to the City Council. The City
Council shall have sole discretion to approve or reject such
requests for waiver of the conventional financing requirement.
Alternative #3:
Applicant is not required to seek conventional financing prior
to applying to the City for INS. —
5. PUBLIC PURPOSES TO BE SERVED THROUGH ISSUANCE OF IRB'S
The City will consider and evaluate applications for IRB's on
the basis of the following criteria:
a. The extent to which the proposed project will create new,
or preserve existing, employment opportunities within the j
community. The City Council is particularly interested in
the following categories of employment opportunities:
b. The extent to which the proposed project will increase the
City's tax base.
C. The extent to which the proposed project will enhance and
strengthen the downtown as the multi-purpose center for
Iowa City and the surrounding area.
Comment: The City Council may wish to add to this list of
Public purposes or restate the criteria described above. Staff
has found very little in the way of definitions from other
sources as to what are acceptable public purposes for IRB's. It
is expected that forthcoming reports from the Congressional
Budget Office and Iowa OPP may provide guidance for the City in
more adequately describing acceptable public purposes. Upon
receipt of these reports in the next few months, it should be
possible to improve this section on public purposes.

v F. POLICIES APPLICABLE TO INDUSTRIAL PROJECTS
9
Comment: Time did not permit staff to complete a working draft of
th s section. Many of the policies described in the previous section
on commercial projects would be equally applicable to industrial
projects, while some policies might be of lesser applicability (i.e.
Design Review). In addition, special policies applicable primarily
to industrial projects (i.e. environmental/pollution control, type
of industry, etc.). should be included in this section. Following
discussion by the Council on October 13, staff can proceed to
complete a draft of this section.
It is obviously necessary at this time for the Council to adopt
written policies with respect to both commercial and industrial
projects. As stated above, improvements in the policies adopted now
should be made at such time as the City is in possession of the
forthcoming reports from CBO and OPP.

II. PROCEDURES
Requirements
a
I.
It is in the public interest that the issuance of IRB's be made only
i
after the City has been fully informed concerning the applicant and
its current status and future plans; the protection of the City's
interests requires thorough investigation of any request for IRB's.
2.
The applicant will be required to submit certain information and
assume the cost of the City's review and issuance of the IDR Bonds.
3.
Matters of confidentiality for public disclosure, relating to the
applicant or his business, shall be honored to the extent that such
information withheld is not required as a matter of law, as
determined by the City's legal counsel.
4.
If the applicant retains its own legal counsel to prepare Council
proceedings and legal documents, all such proceedings and documents
must be reviewed and approved by the City's bond counsel.
5.
The applicant must not incur any project costs other than those
authorized by the Internal Revenue Code prior to the preliminary
approval (Memorandum of Agreement) being authorized by the City
Council.
6.
The City Council reserves the right to deny any application for
financing at any state of the proceedings prior to adopting the final
i
resolution authorizing the issuance of the bonds.
7.
All applications and supporting materials and documents shall remain
the property of the City.
8.
The applicant shall adhere to the following procedures in submitting
a request and application to the City for the issuance of IDR Bonds.
Application
and Review Procedures
1.
Any person or firm desiring to request that the City of Iowa City
I
issue IRB's shall first secure from the City Manager or the Director
of Finance a copy of the City's Industrial Revenue Bond Policy and
Procedures.
2.
I
A written request accompanied by the application form, the required
supplemental information and a non-refundable deposit shall be
submitted to the office of the City Manager.
The amount of the deposit shall be as follows:

Amount of Bond Issue Deposit Amount
$300,000 or less
$300,001-$500,000
$500,001-$1,000,000
$1,000,001-$5,000,000
$5,000,001 or more
In addition thereto, the applicant shall agree to reimburse the City
for all expenses which exceed the deposit amount and which result
from the review and evaluation of the request including but not
limited to administration, legal counsel, consulting costs,
printing, publication costs and all other incidental costs or fees.
3. Following the receipt of the written request, the application form,
the supplemental information and the deposit, the City Manager will
notify the City Council of the request and will instruct the Evalua-
tion Committee to review the project. The Evaluation Committee will
consist of the Director of Finance, an Assistant City Attorney, a
representative of the Department of Planning and Program
Development, and a representative of the City Manager's office. In
addition, the Planning and Zoning Commission or a newly -created
commission will assist the Evaluation Committee in the review of the
request.
In those instances when circumstances dictate review which requires
expertise beyond that of the Committee, the proposal will be
submitted to an independent consultant hired by the City.
4. The Evaluation Committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission or
newly -created commission shall prepare a recommendation on the
advisability of the issuance of IRB's to be presented to the City
Council at its next regularly scheduled meeting following completion
of the Committee's review. This review should be completed within 30
days from the receipt of the request unless the applicant is
otherwise notified. The Council will not take formal action on the
request until the review has been completed.
5. The City Council will then take preliminary action to approve or deny
the applicant's request to issue bonds. If such preliminary approval
is granted, the Memorandum of Agreement will be executed.
If the applicant retains its own legal counsel to prepare Council
proceedings and legal documents, all such proceedings and documents

expertise beyond that of the Committee, the proposal will be
submitted to an independent consultant hired by the City.
4. The Evaluation Committee and the Planning and Zoning Commission or
newly -created commission shall prepare a recommendation on the
advisability of the issuance of IRB's to be presented to the City
Council at its next regularly scheduled meeting following completion
of the Committee's review. This review should be completed within 30
days from the receipt of the request unless the applicant is
otherwise notified. The Council will not take formal action on the
request until the review has been completed.
5. The City Council will then take preliminary action to approve or deny
the applicant's request to issue bonds. If such preliminary approval
is granted, the Memorandum of Agreement will be executed.
If the applicant retains its own legal counsel to prepare Council
proceedings and legal documents, all such proceedings and documents
must have been reviewed and approved by the City's bond counsel and
then received by the Director of Finance seven days prior to the
Council meeting in order to be included on the agenda of that

Witiespread evidence that capital subsidies are ineffective is causing a

County development officials in Ohio,
for example, believed that a 12 -year
property tax abatement was "the key-
stone of the deal" that induced a S20•
million bicarbonate plant to locate in
their area, But a company official ad-
mitted, "The tax abatement was a nice
kicker at the end, but we chose the stale
mainly because of its strategic location
for distribution and market growth."
Episodes like this represent the rule
rather than the exception, researchers
have found. But a healthy skepticism
about capital subsidies has been grow-
ing for some time, and is only one di-
mension of the new thinking on devel-
opment finance. The key dimension is
an increasing awareness of what can
best be termed "the capital availability

problem." In essence, the capital avail-
ability problem is the failure of capital
markets to finance enterprises that do
in fact offer a competitive return.
Capital Availability
A popular image of the financial sys-
tem depicts financiers leaving no roc,
unturned in their search for profit. Yet
capital does not always flow to altrac•
live ventures. As investment banker
and former E DA official Robert Podesta
said in testimony before Congress two
years ago, "I son of grew up as a Re-
publican, and ... when I started in
EDA, 1 didn't believe in it.,Back when
Congress was debating the Small Buv,-
ness Act, I was on the Small Business
Committee of the Investment Banker
Association. We said exactly what you
are saying, 'that things that ought to be
financed tend to get financed.' The fat*
is, that is wrong: it isn't true...."
Accumulating evidence shows at.
abundance of capital market failurrs.
Imagine the capital allocation process
as one in which ventures competing for
funds are assigned a place in a queue.
Those firms coming first have first claim
on capital, and standings are supposed
to be assigned on the basis of risk-
adjusted, expected returns. But some
enterprises that ought to be nearer the
front of she queue get shunted toward
the rear.
Higher -risk ventures go unfunded be-
cause of the absence of market mocha-
nisms that could minimize risk to poten-
tial capital suppliers. Financial Inter-
mediaries do not have accurate or suf-
ficient information about certain kinds
of firms. Steeper transaction costs for
making and following some loans keep
certain businesses out or the credit
queue altogether. Some financial insti-
tutions with monopoly power raise
funding barriers higher than they would
be under competitive conditions. Sup-
pliers of capital can be biased for tea -
sons of sex, race or politics. And goy
ernmeni regulation in capital markets
creates unintended distortions.

From Theory to Practice
New thinking about development fi•
mmee is gradually being transformed
tnro new policies. Such policies use all
three strategic tools for public capital
a;•-cation—administrative regulations,
e. rnonnic incentives and direct public
financial intermediation.
Capital market failures strike

generate over half of the new

directing private capital flows. But his•
lorically, regulation of state•chancred
financial institutions has given short
shrift to the objective or fostering eco-
nomic development. Moreover, the
other goals of financial regulation have
been pursued in ways [hat unnecessar•
ily stifle investment in small and young
firms.
Use of administrative regulation to
influence private capital flows can work
in some instances. But regulations that
appear to require undesirable loans or
investments can cause an outflow of
capital from regulated institutions.
The usual response to capital mobility
problems is'to offer economic incen.
lives for institutions to channel funds -
toward underfinanced, but deserving
firms. The primary instrument here is
the loan guarantee. Even though loan
guarantees are often thou�t of as cap•
ital subsidies, their unique contribution
is in influencing the.availability of cap.

flect the true costs of providing the guar•
antees, such a program will operate like
a self-supporting insurance fund.
Both administrative regulation and
economic"inccmivcs rely largely on
changing the practices or private finan.
cial intermediaries. A -third strategy
uses publicly owned and controlled fi-
nancial intermediaries to make funds
available to firms experiencing ddf-
eulty in private capital markets. The
govemment—federal, state or local—
either borrows in the capital market or
taxes its citizens to raise funds and then

viding more efficient allocation of nsks,
reducing information and transaction

viating discrimination. Since 1970, stat,
governments have created a number of

Making the Transition
Despite increasing application of the
new development financing techniques
in states and localities, their diffusion
may continue to be slow. One reason is
that public officials perceive a better
political payoff from the highly visiole.
large private investments that capital
subsidies often appear to produce. An-
other factor is that public officials are
often unsure of the real sources of eco-
nomic development: since other states
and cities use subsidies. officials cannot
risk abandoning them. The fact that rev-
" nue
ev"nue bond subsidies arep ra d most di•
rectly by'the federal government makes
continuation of the, status quo even
easier.
The ability of the old and new devel-
opment finance to coexist, at least to a
point, is facilitating the transition to the
latter. The City of Lowell, Massachu-
setts recently used SS million in UDAG
money for subsidized financing of Wang
Industriesinternational headquarter%.
But the principal and interest payments
from this loan will be recycled into fi-
nancing for smaller firms.
And very few people are recommer,u-
ing that communities reject capital sub'
sidies' entirely. Rather, they advocate
limiting them to cases where the invest -

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE
STUDY OF INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS: SOME PRELIMINARY FINDINGS
The Congressional Budget Office is currently completing a study of
industrial revenue bonds (IRBs). The report -- undertaken at the request
of the Oversight Subcommittee of the U.S. House of Representatives Ways
and Means Committee -- covers the volume and extent of IRB use, the
relationship between IRBs and other economic development programs, and
the effects of IRBs on both investment decisions and federal revenues.
In keeping with CBO policy, the study will present a variety of
alternatives for Congressional consideration, but it will make no
recommendations.
Some of the preliminary findings are as follows:
Small issue IRBs, which provide tax-exempt financing up to a maximum
'of $10 million over a six-year period, are being used in much greater
quantity and for a much wider variety of projects than official sources
had estimated. Based on data from the Public Securities Association
(PSA), the Federal Reserve Board estimated that in 1979 sales of small
issue and pollution control bonds amounted to $3.8 billion. CBO
estimates that these bond sales amounted to nearly $10 billion, with
small issues accounting for $7 billion of that amount. The reason for
the discrepancy is that most IRB transactions are private placements with
local banks or other lenders and are rarely reported beyond the state or
local level. C80's data on IRB sales are based on reports from state and

n
local agencies. These, unlike other sources, include most private
placements. Even so, the most that CBO can claim is that its estimates
more accurately reflect the current level of IRB sales. Since a few
states had no information and some others had only incomplete reports,
the real volume of IRB sales remains a mystery.
In the past five years the use of IRBs has grown rapidly. Between
1978 and 1979 alone, it doubled. Several developments account for the
large increase in sales last year.
- First, the increase in capital expenditure limits from $5 million
to $10 million made larger bond issues possible and, perhaps more
importantly, increased the number of facilities eligible for IRB
financing.
- Secondly, the savings in interest costs made possible by INS
were relatively greater last year than they had been at any other
time in the 1970s. In 1979 and in the first quarter of 1980, the
spread between tax-exempt and taxable interest rates was wider
than usual, making IRBs more attractive than ever. This, coupled
with soaring interest rates, greatly increased the popularity of
the bonds.
- Finally, although their use in the past was largely for
manufacturing, more and more states have permitted IRBs to be
used for commercial ventures.

financing is a means of using federal funds to subsidize private
investment. IRBs make it possible for business to borrow at lower costs
n
because interest on the bonds is exempt from federal taxation. The
presumption behind the tax-exempt status of the bonds is, of course, that
they serve a public purpose.
Throughout the history of the use of IRBs, however, the public
purpose has been vague. Federal legislation sets capital expenditure
limits for small issue INS, but contains no other guidelines, leaving a
vacuum that the states have attempted to fill. Their efforts have
resulted in a wide variety of practices. On the one extreme are the few
states that prohibit the use of INS. On the other, are the states that
permit IRB financing for any legal business regardless of purpose or
location. Creating jobs is the most common justification for using INS.
Rarely, however, is the question of whether or not the same jobs would
have been created with conventional financing raised. And only in a few
cases do issuing localities have policies that in any way limit the use
of IRBs to areas with higher than average unemployment or lower than
average per capita income.
Today46 states actively use IRBs. As the number of states using
IRBs has grown, so has the variety of projects benefiting from tax-exempt
financing. Although federal law never prohibited any specific uses of
INS, state enabling legislation tended to be narower. As of 1970, most
states used IRBs only for manufacturing and closely related facilities,
such as warehouses and distribution centers for manufactured (and

sometimes for agricultural) products. Beginning in the early 1970s,
state and local officials, brokerage houses, commercial banks and
businesses became aware of the possibilities of financing virtually any
enterprise with IRBs and pushed for amendments to state enabling
legislation that would permit them to take maximum advantage of federal
law. Pennsylvania was one of the first states to do so. The state
passed legislation permitting IRB use for manufacturing in 1967 and
amended it to include commercial projects in 1971. The trend has
continued ever since. As of the spring of 1980, some 26 states permitted
IRB use for commercial and industrial projects. By summer, another five
states had either passed or were about to pass similar legislation.
In some communities, . local merchants have opposed the use of
tax-exempt financing for commercial ventures. Since retailers usually
compete in narrower markets than manufacturers, they are more immediately
threatened by any special advantages that their competitors might enjoy.
They are also in a better position to organize and to levy political
pressure. In July 1980, more than 2,200 voters in Ravalli County,
Montana, signed petitions called for a referendum on the use of $4
million in IRBs to construct a shopping center, with K -Mart as a
principal tenant. Local merchants, who had never benefited from
tax-exempt funding, called the County Commission's approval of the bonds
"unfair" and succeeded in putting the issue on the November general
election ballot. Similar problems have arisen in places as far apart as
Wetumpka, Alabama, and Dalles, Oregon.

Nearly half of the states that permit IDBS put virtually no
restrictions on their use. This, coupled with new information about the
volume of bond sales, has raised the issue of the public purpose of the
projects. Most federal programs to help business target their assistance
either to distressed urban or rural areas, which may be less attractive
to investors, or to smaller and riskier businesses, which often have
difficulty raising capital. IRBs, on the other hand, are now being used
to finance every kind of enterprise from "ma and pa" grocery stores to
multinational corporations and every kind of activity from manufacturing
plants to country clubs. The uses have cone to include department
stores,. supermarkets, fast food chains, automobile dealerships, doctors
and .dentists offices, funeral hones, movie theatres, skating 'rinks,
bowling alleys, tennis and racquetball clubs, golf courses, health spas,
hotels, motels, and ski lodges. These facilities may be located in
distressed communities or in affluent areas.
In some states concern about the public purpose of IRBs has resulted
in less permissive policies. Some 15 states still restrict the use of
bonds to manufacturing and closely related facilities. A few states
permit tax-exempt financing for commercial ventures only if the projects
are in distressed areas. In Massachusetts, for example, these projects
are restricted to specifically designated "commercial area revitalization
districts" in older cities. This permits the use of IRBs in conjunction
with projects that benefit from Urban Development Action Grants.

The costs to the public of using IRBs include more than foregone
federal income taxes. In most, but not all states, the bonds are also
exempt from state income taxes. In addition, some states exempt

MEMORANDUM
DATE: October 9, 1980
TO: Neal Berlin, City Manager E Council Members
FROM: Beverly Horton, Animal Control
RE: Revised Animal Control Ordinance
Attached is the revised animal control ordinance for
Your review. The following is a summary of the major
changes.
A. Revised licensing provisions to help make pet licens-
ing simple and easily understood for pet owners. It
Provides a calendar year licensing system which includes
incentives to comply. It is anticipated that this system
will produce an increase in revenues through greater
compliance.
B. The responsibility for public hearings of vicious
animals has been transferred from the City Council to the
office of the City Manager.
C. The animal welfare section has been strengthened
through specific definitions establishing standards
for basic care.
D. This ordinance establishes a registration procedure
for "Guard Dogs" which is of importance to the Fire and
Police Departments.
E. Finally, it prohibits the use of the steel jaw leg-
hold trap in the City limits. This is included due
to numerous complaints and the many dangers they pose to
pet animals and children.
Items which have not been included but are suggested for
Council opinion are:
Reduced license fees for senior citizens, E
Permits or registration for livestock and exotic
animal owners.

Dear Mr. Ruben:
IOWA CITY
IOWA CITY IOWA 52240 (319) 354.180D
I am in receipt of your letter dated September 16, 1980, and I am
pleased to see that the Area Office has established a goal for
minority business (MBE) participation in HUD funded programs. The
City of Iowa City is equally committed to expanding its utilization
of minority business enterprises, and we welcome the challenge to set
a realistic MBE goal for our CDBG program.
The City has set as its goal for the fiscal year beginning October 1,
1980, $53,500 in MBE participation. This amount is approximately
6.2% of the estimated $8621215 in work to be contracted under our
CDBG program. (Iowa City has approximately 3.1% minority
Population.) We recognize that this is a minimum goal, and we will
continue in an affirmative manner to exceed it.
As requested in your letter, we will submit monthly reports on MBE
utilization to your office.

PROGRAM INFORMATION SUMMARY
Iowa City Crisis Center - Transient Service
JC COG
10/8/80
Funding is requested from Iowa City and United Way to help provide
comprehensive crisis intervention services to travelers stranded in the
Iowa City/Johnson County area. Services provided include emergency food,
lodging, and transportation assistance. Potential clients are screened
carefully and financial assistance provided in the form of vouchers.
Follow-up is provided by asking clients to contact the Center again if
they need additional help. Services are provided free of charge, although
clients are asked to repay any assistance if they are able to do so.
A total of 1,232 service contacts were received in 1979 and 818
individuals assisted. This represents an increase of 1.2% in individuals
served over 1978.
The program's request from Iowa City and United Way is $2,500 each.
Problems in service delivery involve lack of adequate firms t0 provide
assistance such as car repairs and more than one night's lodging. During
1980, many individuals requiring assistance were not able to be helped due
to lack of funds. The Center requests that local funding bodies make a
commitment to provide adequate funding for this program. The program may
not continue if this is not done.
It is suggested that United Way continue to work with the Crisis Center
and other local agencies to advocate for adequate services to those
individuals with unmet needs.
In 1981, it is projected that this program will provide food assistance to
515 individuals (an increase of 18.4% over the 1980 goal), lodging
assistance to 250 individuals (a decrease of 28.6% over the 1980 goal),
and miscellaneous assistance to individuals needing items such as
medicine, diapers, or minor car repairs.
The cost of this program is projected at $8500 in direct financial
assistance. All allocations will be used for direct assistance, whereas
during 1979 a share of the Center's administrative costs and rent were
charged to this program and in 1980 a share of the rent was charged to the
program.

PROGRAM INFORMATION SUMMARY
Pals Program - Johnson County Extension
JC COG
10/8/80
Funding is requested to help support the Pals Program as a whole.
The Pals Program provides for supplemental social, emotional, mental and
Physical development of children from single parent families by careful
matching with an adult volunteer; successful matches result in a long-term
relationship between the volunteer and child.
Client/staff ratio is 2 staff:80 children, 80 parents, 80 volunteers; in
addition, a small group recreation program called the Group Activity
Program (GAP) is provided for 45 children on the waiting list to be
matched. This represents a 14% increase in successful matches over last
year and a 12.5% increase in those participating in GAP. It should be
noted that the GAP program is coordinated by an Urban 4-H Aide, employee
Of ISU Extension, and the only cost to Pals is in supervision time.
A total of $250 contacts for service were received in 1979. This
represents an increase of 25% over 1978.
Although the information submitted by the Pals Program indicates that 80
children, parents, and volunteers were served during the last year, the
Pals Coordinator has said that surrently only 70 matches are being
maintained. In addition, the Coordinator has indicated that both boys and
girls are being served by the GAP program, whereas in past only boys were
served by this program. She has indicated that the reason for this is to
make the program less discriminatory and to provide for the social needs
of girls as well as boys in single parent families.
Client follow-up measures include regular contact with all those involved
in a match (parent, child and volunteer) and ongoing evaluations of the
child's progress and program (quarterly). Matches are ' evaluated at
termination.
No fees are charged for services.
Joint planning involvement listed this year, as well as last, includes
follow-up meetings for Regional Planning Commission's Human Services
Study (i.e., youth -serving agencies) and consultations with other
agencies.

PROGRAM INFORMATION SUMMARY
Pals Program - Johnson County Extension
JC COG
10/8/80
Funding is requested to help support the Pals Program as a whole.
The Pals Program provides for supplemental social, emotional, mental and
Physical development of children from single parent families by careful
matching with an adult volunteer; successful matches result in a long-term
relationship between the volunteer and child.
Client/staff ratio is 2 staff:80 children, 80 parents, 80 volunteers; in
addition, a small group recreation program called the Group Activity
Program (GAP) is provided for 45 children on the waiting list to be
matched. This represents a 14% increase in successful matches over last
year and a 12.5% increase in those participating in GAP. It should be
noted that the GAP program is coordinated by an Urban 4-H Aide, employee
Of ISU Extension, and the only cost to Pals is in supervision time.
A total of $250 contacts for service were received in 1979. This
represents an increase of 25% over 1978.
Although the information submitted by the Pals Program indicates that 80
children, parents, and volunteers were served during the last year, the
Pals Coordinator has said that surrently only 70 matches are being
maintained. In addition, the Coordinator has indicated that both boys and
girls are being served by the GAP program, whereas in past only boys were
served by this program. She has indicated that the reason for this is to
make the program less discriminatory and to provide for the social needs
of girls as well as boys in single parent families.
Client follow-up measures include regular contact with all those involved
in a match (parent, child and volunteer) and ongoing evaluations of the
child's progress and program (quarterly). Matches are ' evaluated at
termination.
No fees are charged for services.
Joint planning involvement listed this year, as well as last, includes
follow-up meetings for Regional Planning Commission's Human Services
Study (i.e., youth -serving agencies) and consultations with other
agencies.
Funding requests are as follows:

The program continues to experience a long waiting list. Although an
additional half-time staff person was added last year, the agency notes a
continuing need for additional staff to help meet the need for this
service.
Please see the agency's Goals and Objectives statement for specific
information. Changes since last year exist in the number of successful
matches proposed (90 for FY 82; an increase of 28.6% over the FY 81 goal).
A change also exists in the number of potential volunteers to be recruited
(200 for FY 82, an increase of 25% over the FY 81 goals).
*Because Pals has hot been granted beneficiary agency status for 1981,
this request has been withdrawn.

PROGRAM INFORMATION SUMMARY
United Action for Youth
JC COG
10/8/80
Funding is requested from United Way, Iowa City, and Johnson County to
help support the agency's Outreach Program and from Johnson County to help
support the Synthesis Program.
United Action for Youth exists to assist young people, especially those
alienated from traditional approaches to youth service, in identifying
their individual needs and opportunities and to facilitate meeting those
needs with regard for the community.
Client/staff ratio is 222:3 compared to 240:3 last year. A total of 222
Johnson County clients were served by the Outreach Program during 1979.
This is a slight decrease from the number served during 1978 (-5.1%).
Service contacts number 13,375 for the outreach program during 1979 and
13,609 during 1978.
Follow-up is conducted through frequent personal contact with clients
(4,072 in FY 79 and 4,470 in FY 78).
No fees are charged in\the Outreach program. Synthesis charges some
people for doing workshops, to cover equipment and supply costs.
Funding requests are as follows (with comparison with last year's
funding):
Source 1980/FY 81 1981/FY 82 % Change
Iowa City $30,000 $33,000 +
Johnson County 30 000 10.0
United Way 32,000 +6,7
5,370 10,000 +86.2
A large number of joint planning efforts are listed. New ones this year
are: Adolescent Pregnancy Service Coalition, Task Force on
Deinstitutionalization, Department of Social Services Community -Based
Services Review Panel.
Complaints about services and problems in service delivery are listed as
follows:

was also given by the Crisis Center. The agency also suggests that United
Way change its fiscal year to that used by the other two local funding

*On last year's (FY81) budget forms the ending balance for FY79 was reported as$192.90.
The discrepancy in that balance and the beginning balance above is due to an oversight
in not reporting the Hawtrey Memorial Fund last year as well as an error of $2.94 in
our checking account balance which was later discovered.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 10, 1980
To: City Council
From: Doug BoothroxE�;
Re: Planning & Zoning Items
On October 21, 1980, Council should give second consideration to rezoning
Jack I. Young's property from R1A to RX The Council gave first
consideration to this item at their regular meeting of October 3, 1980.
The Planning & Zoning Commission, at a regular meeting held October 2,
1980, recommended by a 4-0 vote approval of the preliminary plat, PAD, and
Large Scale Residential Development plan of Court Hill -Scott Boulevard,
Part 8, located south of Lower West Branch Road contingent upon submittal
of a landscaping plan, Lot 2 being labeled as family care, facility,
granting a variance in the Sidewalk Ordinance requiring sidewalks to be
placed on one side of the street only, and the terracing with railroad
ties along the single family lot lines to the west. This recommendation
is consistent with the staff's recommendation presented in a staff report
dated October 2, 1980, which is included in the Council's packet. On
October 21, 1980 the Council will be requested to consider a resolution
approving the above item. The applicant will be present at the informal
meeting to answer any questions the Council might have regarding the
subject PAD plan.
Also at the regular meeting of the Planning and Zoning Commission held
October 2, 1980, the Commission recommended by a 5-0 vote that no recom-
mendation be made -on the preliminary and final plat of Westview Acres,
Part 2, because of the distance from Iowa City and the unlikelihood that
Iowa City will annex the area in the near future. The subject subdivision
was forwarded to the City of Iowa City for findings and recommendations
per the 1972 annexation agreement between Iowa City and Coralville
regarding subdivisions located outside Iowa City's two mile
extraterritorial control area but within Coralville's and within Iowa
City's side of the "area of jurisdiction". It was the staff's
recommendation that due to the distance of the subdivision from the City
of Iowa City (i.e. more than 2 miles) and the unlikelihood that the City
will annex the area that the subject plat not be reviewed and therefore no
recommendation be made to the City of Coralville. Those subdivisions
located within two miles of the corporate limits of the City of Iowa City
and within the "area of jurisdiction" should continue to be reviewed by
the City and findings and recommendations forwarded to Coralville:

Transportation: Vehicular access is proposed from
Oberlin Street.
Physical characteristics: Topography is gently to steeply
sloping (2 to 16 per cent).
ANALYSIS
The subject development is a near replica of the development to the south with
attached single family dwellings clustered around a cul-de-sac street. The low
profile of the proposed buildings, with first floor elevations approximately 3-4
feet lower than the ground elevation of developed property to the west, would
i appear to have diminutive impact upon existing single family residential
development in the immediate vicinity. Although the property is zoned RIB,
which permits a maximum density of development of 6,000 square feet per unit,
the subject development incorporates an average of 7,711 square feet per unit.
This density of development is consistent with existing single family lot sizes
in the area (abutting single family lots vary from 7200 square feet to 7800
square feet).
Of primary concern to the staff in the review of the subject development was the
amount of separation deemed appropriate between the proposed buildings and
abutting single family lots. This is a matter of conjecture but does require
discrete judgment.
Adequate separation in this instance is justified on the basis of privacy and
visual impact and, to a lesser extent, noise. Of perhaps greater importance to
the abutting property owners is the visual impact.
The applicant has provided as much separation as is possible for this particular
site design. This was accomplished in part by providing a 30 foot setback from
Scott Boulevard. While a 30 foot setback departs from that which was required j
for the development to the south, this setback was considered adequate in view
of the requirement in the new proposed zoning ordinance that abutting a primary
arterial street, a front yard or principal building setback of 40 feet be
provided. Since the applicant is dedicating an extra 10 feet of street
right-of-way than normally required for a primary arterial street, a 30 foot
setback to Scott Boulevard, identified as a secondary arterial street on the
Comprehensive Plan Map, is more than otherwise would be required under the new
proposed regulations.
I The staff would suggest that additional separation be provided between the
proposed buildings and established single family lot lines by one or several of
i the following alternatives:
I. Increasing the distance of the building 38 feet from the lot line by
decreasing the length of the driveway by 4 feet. This would provide a
minimum separation of 42 feet. Extensive landscaping should be provided to
reduce the visual impact.
- \ I 2. Designing the buildings to the west of the cul-de-sac street with garages
below grade. This would provide a minimum separation of 60 feet.

3. Placing the garages at the street right-of-way line. This is not uncommon
but less conventional and would require off-street parking bays. This
alternative would provide a minimum separation of 60 feet.
4. Redesigning the buildings.
The regulations for an OPO -H Zone proposed in the new zoning ordinance require
that a minimum of 100 feet of separation be provided between buildings in the
OPD -H Zone and boundary lines that are of a different use from that permitted in
an adjacent single family residential zone. A 100 foot separation is not at all
unreasonable for high intensity uses but would appear to be superfluous for
attached single family dwellings in this instance. The staff felt that a
minimum of 50 feet of separation should be provided.
A second major concern that was voiced by adjacent property owners was the
similarity between the design of buildings in this development and the develop-
ment to the south. Arguably, the stylized nature of the two developments gives
the appearance of a large tract development intruding the area.
In discussions with the applicant, the staff saw less need for a sidewalk on
both sides of the cul-de-sac street but did consider a sidewalk connection from
the street to Scott Boulevard essential in view of internal and external
pedestrian traffic circulation. A similar request for a variance in the
construction of a sidewalk on both sides of a street was granted in the develop-
ment immediately to the south.
Finally, the applicant has mentioned that retaining walls would be constructed
along the single family lot lines to the west. This proposal should be
evaluated in terms of their impact upon the single family lots.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the staff's recommendation that consideration of the subject application
be deferred pending discussion of the matters mentioned above. Final considera-

MEMORANDUM
IOWA CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Lolly Eggers, Library Director
R E : Display and meeting room policies
DATE: October 6, 1980
The following is in response to your request for information about the library's
display and meeting room policies especially as they relate to the current Iowa
ERA display and to meetings on Transcendental Meditation.
1. IOWA ERA DISPLAY
The display itself is entirely informational. It does not
support or oppose the proposed amendment. It provides the
language of the proposed change to the Iowa constitution and
reminds citizens that it will be on the ballot on November 4.
For a few days last week there were handouts from the Johnson
County ERA Coalition at the display. They were placed there
without our permission and were removed as soon as they were
discovered. We regularly have to monitor all displays,
pamphlet racks and bulletin boards and remove items put there
without our knowledge and which do not meet library guidelines.
Applicable sections from the Board of Trustees display policy:
A. Purpose (of display facilities)
5. To highlight current issues and events of public
interest.
B. Guidelines.......
3. Political and religious displays shall be primarily
informational. The theme should not attempt to persuade
the viewer to take a position on a political or
religious issue.

Memo to City Council Members
From Lolly Eggers, Library Director
Page 2
2. TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION MEETINGS
This organization has used the library's meeting rooms
frequently since at least 1975 to provide the public with
free introductory/informational lectures on TM.
If "soliciting in the building" means getting names of attendees
at the lectures who may be interested in further TM training,
they probably do it regularly. Any other kind of "soliciting" -
approaching people elsewhere in the building or asking for
money at the lectures - is against library policy. To my
knowledge, this has not occurred.
The Board of Trustees meeting room policy is attached.
If there are further questions, please notify me or Library
Board President Lynda Ostedgaard.

Dear Mr. Berlin:
This is to confirm our previous telephone contact with your staff
informing the City that its Fiscal Year (FY) 1981 metropolitan cities
funding mark under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program
has been estimated at $770,000. It must be recognized that this is only
a preliminary estimate for planning purposes, and that it is subject to
change. Once updated demographic information is received from the
United States Bureau of the Census, a firmer figure will be produced and
provided to you. As soon as you receive the final entitlement amount,
you should substitute the latest figure for the earlier figure you have
been using, regardless of the planning or application stage you are in
at that time. The CDBG appropriation level approved by Congress could
also have an effect on the above estimate. If the appropriation for FY
1981 is lower than requested, the final grant amount could drop.
If any questions arise in preparing your application, please contact
your Community Planning and Development Representative, Mr. William D.
Clements, at (402) 221-9461.
Sincerely,
Nat uben

mayor calls the hotel -motel tax a
"tremendous asset," noting It's the
first time people from outside the
city who use our facllltles have
helped pay some of the expenses.
The hotel -motel tax is the first

far) permitted by the Iowa Leglala.

mented the tax. Y
Under the law, a maximum tax of
7 percent can be Imposed on hotel.
motel rooms. The tax must first be
approved by a majority vote of the
people in the city or county for
which the tax Is proposed. Cedar
Rapids voters approved the imposl-
tion of a 5 percent room tax at the
general election In November 1978,
by a vote of 12,836 to 10,830.
Collection of the tax began on April
1, 1979.
THE TAX Is collected by the
state, computed and sent back
quarterly to cities and counties
Imposing It. Under state law, at least
50 percent of the money collected by
titles from the hotel -motel tax must
be spent on recreational, cultural or
entertainment activities or facilities.
The remainder may be used for
lawful discretionary expenditures.
Initial estimates Indicated the tax
might 'bring Cedar Rsplds about
$275,000 annually. However, the city
received $456,129.99 lest fiscal -year
(1980), the first year the tax was
collected. That total Includes pay-
ments from the last quarter of• fiscal
1979 (April, May and June);dhe first
quarter In which collection began.
It's estimated that Cedar Rapids will
get $500,000 from the room tax this
fiscal year.
During fiscal 1980, the city dis.
bursed $437,562.66 of the $156;
120.99. The Five Seasons Center
received $200,000 to help make up
Its operational deficit; the Para.
mount Theatre got $90,000; the
Cedar Rapids Area Convention and
Vialtoei Bureau $65,000; Cedar

County project) $25,000; and the
Indian Creek Nature Center $2;
812.56, leaving a balance of $17;
567.43.
According to Bill Kinney, deputy
city auditor, Cedar Rapids has
received a payment of $114,791.65
In hotel -motel taxes during the
current fiscal year (1981). Of that
amount, $21,000 has been disbursed.
The Convention and Visitors Bureau
received $13,500; $1,250 went to the
Cedar Rapids -Marion Fine Arts
Council; and $6,260 went to the
Indian Creek Nature Center. I
Although only 50 percent of the

entertainment expenses, practically
all of the tax money Ceder Rapids
receives has gone for these
expenses.
Mayor 'Carney noted that a
survey conducted for the Chamber
of Commerce In either 1969 or 1970
said Cedar Rapids' biggest need at
that time was more cultural activl
ties.
"Since that time, we've come a
long way with cultural development,
and I think the Five Seasons Center
has done a great deal toward that,".

From: Fred Zehr, Airport Manager
Re: Proposed Hangar
There seem to be some unanswered questions about the intentions of the
Airport Commission in its quest to invest the $90,000 in its capital
improvements fund.
The terms under which these funds were accepted by the City are very
strict; these terms were agreed to by the City Council, not the Airport
Commission. They only allow the money to be spent for capital
improvements on the airport that will benefit the flying public.
Allowable uses include new taxiways, aircraft parking aprons, hangars,
nav-aids, and fuel farms, to mention a few. Most of the allowable uses
would not in turn provide further revenue. They cannot be used as
matching funds for ADAP programs, or for any operational or maintenance
expenses. So, as you can see, the Airport Commission is very limited in
its use of the funds. Also, the Commission is under a time limit for
using this money. Under the contract, the money has to be used by the
beginning of 1981. Although this time limit could be extended for
extraordinary circumstances, it would not be in the City's best interest
for us to procrastinate. With inflation creeping up every month, the
buying power of our capital improvements fund is diminishing.
The Airport's goal to become self sufficient is the primary reason for
the decision to build a hangar. The Airport Commission could use this
money to build taxiways or parking aprons, but it feels this is not
effective planning. The decision to invest this money in a hangar is
the most reasonable because we will see a return on the investment of
$12,000 to $15,000 per year when the hangar is completed. In addition,
it should be noted that taxiways, parking aprons, and nav-aids are
eligible for funding under other programs but hangars are not. True, we
do not have the funding to finish the hangar completely—,but—the $90,000
we do have should give us a usable hangar that will start to generate
revenue. This revenue could be reinvested to complete the hangar.
The planned hangar is a four unit T -hangar designed to house larger
cabin class aircraft. This type of hangar is desperately needed at the
Iowa City Airport. The south end of the hangar is designed "oversize"
to accommodate the University of Iowa Aircare helicopters for storage
and maintenance. This unit and two others will have an office and
restroom facilities. In the north end of the hangar is a bay to be used
as the Airport's maintenance shop and a small office for the Airport
Manager. These facilities are also badly needed.

The original plan for financing the completion of the hangar was to use
the revenue generated by the partially completed structure. If this
does not work, it may be possible to enter into a general obligation
bond with another city department. Discussions with Rosemary Vitosh,
City Finance Director, indicated that this is possible with Council
approval. It should be understood that the Airport Commission is not
committed to building this hangar. The bidding process is designed to
give them a firm ground on which to base their decision. The decision
to build or not will be determined by how high or how low the bids are
when they come in.
The Airport Commission does not intend to impose any additional burdens
on the City Council in the building of this hangar, and we feel that we
have been keeping you posted on the progress of our hangar plans through
our monthly meeting minutes and our newsletter.
With the issuance of a general obligation bond to make up the difference
in the cost of the hangar, we would still realize $6,000 to $7,000 per
year additional operating revenue. If the Council does not approve the
general obligation bond idea, the Commission would ask the Council to
grant us the needed $60,000. If the Commission does not utilize its
$90,000 within the allotted time (Harch 6, 1981), these funds will
revert to the State DOT.
The Commission hopes it has your support in its quest to become a self-
sufficient entity, and this hangar could be a positive step in that
direction.

From: City nager
Re: National Publications - Iowa City (articles attached)
Recently Iowa City was mentioned in two national publications. The
first article appeared in the October 6, 1980, edition of the U.S.
News and World Report. You will note that on the second page the
article mentions Iowa City's policy relating to City Council
contract.with cable TV bidders and the financing by the cable TV
company of the local studio for public access programming.
The second item appears in the October, 1980, issue of Money
magazine. A series of articles discusses the financial and growth
futures for small communities. Ten communities are profiled in one
of the articles and then in another section of the magazine
concerning investment possibilities, there are five other
communities mentioned including Iowa City.
The Money articles would seem to support the position that, in the
years .immediately ahead, Iowa City will become the target for
significant growth. C

Dear Larry:
Enclosed please find a copy of my comments to the Commission made on October 7,
1980 at your public hearing regarding the E.P.A. Construction Grants Program. In
addition to these comments, I wish to address one additional issue which is of
vital concern to the City of Iowa City.
Reference is made to the possible alternate wording for Option 3d authored by the
representative of the City of Des Moines. Iowa City's projects (Step 2) were on
the FY80 fundable list and other portions of the project were certified for grant
funds in FY80. We are concerned, however, that Item 3, establishing August 27,
1980, as the latest date for submission of grant applications, is not consistent
with Items 1 and 2. We therefore respectfully request that this date be changed to
FY1980 or to September 30, 1980. All three conditions will then be consistent.
I also wish to point out that we submitted our Facility Plan in stages so as to
facilitate funding and implement construction of the Corridor Sewers and Water
Pollution Control Plant. We did not know of a particular urgency to apply for
Step 2 funds for the Southeast' Interceptor System since that system will not be
used until the plant is at least partially constructed. However, we did file the
application for Step 2 funding for the project (and two others) on September 25,
1980, prior to the end of FY80.
I would like to again thank you for the opportunity to comment at the public
hearing.

COMMENTS FOR PUBLIC HEARING
IOWA WATER QUALITY COMMISSION
OCTOBER 7 1980
BY
HON. JOHN R. BALMER, MAYOR
CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA
John
Balmer, Mayor of
notice seek ng comments on a amending 'mChapter�n400-1in 9eSoofnstheo Iowa
Administrative Code relative to the type of sewers to be funded under the
EPA construction grants program. As we at Iowa City understand the issue,
three options are being considered. These, simplified, are: (1) fund
y interceptor sewers as you have been and as Iowa City has depended upon,
(2) fund interceptor sewers only if they are in lieu of treatment works,
and (3) fund interceptor sewers if they terminate at the treatment works.
I'm not going to take a lot of time to tell you about all the money Iowa
City has spent in the past 15 years on water pollution control project;,.
But I can say that we've done our best to protect the public health in Iowa
City and the quality of the Iowa River. We've tried to do our planning on
a regional basis. We serve the University of Iowa and the City of
University Heights. We used to serve Coralville but that city chose to
build its own facility.
Most all the sewerage planning we've done in the past 10 years has been
directed toward the completion and implementation of a Facility Plan with
a new plant located a considerable distance downstream. We've hoped to
have all our construction finished by 1985. We've kept our planning on a
timely basis and we haven't caused any delays. Ten years ago we built a
major storm water separation project whereby we got a lot of inflow out of
the sanitary sewer system. Perhaps we were one of the first cities in
Iowa to do that. Now we're building a major River Corridor Sewer system.
That will eliminate surcharging and backup on both sides of the Iowa River
and serve a major part of the University campus. We've been able to fund
what we've done so far. We've kept our old plant patched up as best we can
and we have bypassed very little. We've told our citizens to be patient
with us and not complain about overflowing manholes, flooded basements and
portable pumps because we're getting new interceptor sewers. We've got a
plant site picked and are designing a new plant. Some say the site is too
close to the city but we're going to live with it. Our planning has
included provision for funding the anticipated local share of the $57
million immediate program outlined in our Facility Plan. Basedon funding
expected under Option 1, such funding would require that existing rates be
quadrupled, inflation notwithstanding. That rate boost is going to affect
the citizens of Iowa City and University Heights and the taxpayers in Iowa
which support the University. We can tell you that quadrupling rates is
not being met with public enthusiasm at Iowa City.
We now ,have a Step 2 grant application on file here at IDEQ. It includes
reference to four specific projects of our Facility Plan and, when built,
these will complete our plan, at least the initial construction. One of
these is rehabilitation and we assume there's no problem in eligibility of
that part. Another is what we call the Outfall Relief System. We built
those sewers in about 1900 and they're worn out and need replacement and
grouting and we're going to pay for those ourselves. The University

Heights system is a new interceptor to serve our neighbor, University
Heights. That's a sewer to serve another jurisdiction and we think it
ought to be funded. Serving another jurisdiction should be included as a
criterion for eligibility. The final project, the Southeast Interceptor
System, is one we really want and need. It's a 54 or 60 -inch pipe where it
enters the plant. It's going to eliminate a lot of basement backup and,
of great importance to us, do away with four lift stations that have been
problems for us. We'd like to have this entire system funded.
We realize the tightness of money and the fact that there isn't enough of
it to permit everyone to have an ideal situation. We find this out each
year at budget time. There is probably some moral justification for the
spreading of federal funds out across the state. But there is also the
problem of needed projects whether they be treatment plants or sewers. We
believe in Iowa City that the deletion of interceptor sewers from
government funding will work to the detriment of the entire State of Iowa.
We believe that Option 2 will result in undue harship on the City of Iowa
City. We recommend adoption of Option 1. If you must adopt Option 3, we
will try to live with it.
Thank you. These comments will be transmitted, in writing, to the
Executive Director of IDEQ on or before October 17, 1980.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 17, 1980
To: City Council
From: Doug Boothroy
Re: Large Scale Re ial Development Plan of Ralston
Creek Village
The Resolution approving the preliminary and final LSRD plan for
Ralston Creek Village was passed by Council at their regular meeting
held May 13, 1980. A building permit has not been issued for the
subject development. The LSRD provisions do not require compliance
with the approved plan within any set period of time.
The applicants sought and were granted pursuant to Section
8.10.02.12D.3 a special use permit to permit the required parking to
be located less than 32.8 feet from the Ralston Creek bank in the
floodway overlay zone. This permit was granted with the conditions
that signs be posted in the parking areas and provisions made in each
lease for apartments or parking spaces to give foreknowledge to
occupants of parking spaces, to the effect that risk of flood damage
to property exists. Further, the applicant shall provide a warning
system to notify apartment occupants of potential risk occasioned by
heavy downpours within the watershed. The design of such a system
shall follow in principle the descriptions given the Board in the
public hearing by the representatives of the applicant.
Approximately 40% of the required parking spaces are affected by this
requirement.
No order or decision of the Board permitting a use of a premises is
valid for a period longer than six months, unless such use is
established within said period. The Board granted the special use
permit for the required parking for the subject development
March 15, 1979. Therefore, because the six month period has elapsed,
without establishment of the use pursuant to the order of the Board,
it will be necessary for the applicant to reapply fora special use
permit.
The applicant is allowed to complete that portion of the LSRD plan
that is not affected by the Board's decision.

NRIGIIBORI-IOOD DI?SCRIP'1'ION
The neighborhood is that area lying north of Highway ii6, cast of the Iowa
River and south of the Central Business District or south of Burlington
Street. To the east the area would generally be by a line just west of Van
Buren Street, south to Kirkwood Street and by a line to the east of Ilighland
Court south of Kirkwood Street. In general, this neighborhood would con-
stitute the commercially and industrially zoned area immediately south of
the business district. This total neighborhood might be further divided
with the southern portion being that portion south of the cast -west railroad
tracks at approximately Wright Street.
Main traffic arteries in the southern portion of the neighborhood in which
subject property is located are Gilbert Street for north -south traffic, and
the Benton -Kirkwood artery which divides as one-way traffic between Ben-
ton and Kirkwood on Dubuque and Clinton Streets. IIighway #6 and Burling-
ton Street are, of course, major east -west arteries and Riverside Drive
to the west of the Iowa River is a major north -south artery. That portion
of subject neighborhood in the immediate vicinity of subject property is all
zoned M-1, however, uses consist of a mixture of industrial, service com-
mercial, retail and residential.
There is relatively little usable vacant land in the neighborhood and demand
has increased land values in the past severnl years. Older residential prop-
crties are often rehabilitated instead of demolished for conversion to com-
mercial use because of the good apartment rental market.
The neighborhood is currently undergoing a slow transition period. As the
Central Business District of Iowa City has been developed to capacity, the
north portion of the neighborhood has acted as spill over for new develop-
ment. New commercial activities are somewhat restricted to the north,
east and west portions of the Central Business District due to zoning, Sub-
ject neighborhood's predominant zoning of M-1, with some M-2, allows for
a variety of uses including residential, office, retail, service commercial
and industrial.
The trend for the neighborhood is for continued growth with new develop-
ment more closely related to office, retail and service commercial usage.

DESCRIPTION OP' SUBJECT SITE
Subject site is an irregular tract located on the south side of Benton Street
between Clinton and Dubuque Streets. The site has a frontage on the south
side of Benton of 3201. The frontage on Clinton Street to the west is 224,
and the frontage on Dubuque Street to the cast is 1941. The Clinton Street
frontage extends east to a depth of 1001. The south property line than jogs
north 30' and continues east to Dubuque Street for a distance of 2201. The
total area of the site is 05, 080 square feet.
The site is generally level and slightly above the grade of abutting streets.
Surface drainage appears to be adequate. Although the appraiser has made
no soil tests, it would appear that the soil is capable of supporting those
improvements which would represent the highest and best use of subject
site.
Abutting streets are paved, with concrete curb and gutter. There are concrete
public sidewalks along the east, north and a portion of the west property
lines. Traffic on Dubuque Street is one-way northbound. Traffic on Benton
Street is one-way westbound. Traffic on Clinton Street is one-way south-
bound.
There is two-way traffic on Benton Street to the west of Clinton Street and
on Kirkwood to the cast of Dubuque Street. The one-way traffic diversion
around the block in which subject property is located is a part of the Benton -
Kirkwood traffic artery.
There are at the present time no curb cuts to subject property from abutting
streets, however, it is assumed that adequate access will be available to
the site.
All utilities and city services are available to the site. Thu site is •roned
M-1, Light Industrial, which permits those uses which would be atypical
of the neighborhood and reflective of highest and best use.
The appraiser assumes that there are no utility easements which would ad-
versely affect the normal development of subject property.
East Portion
In addition to estimating the value of the entire park site, the City has
also requested a valuation on the east portion only. The east portion
\ is defined as: All that part of subject property lying cast of a line
138' east of the Clinton Street sidewalk and 199' west of the Dubuque
Street sidewalk. (Please refer -to Plot Plan Sketch for measurements).

The property plats indicate the cast -west dimension of the site is 3201.
The sidewalks measure 3371 apart, indicating that approximately 171
inside the sidewalks is a portion of the platted street. For purposes
the appraisal,
bewe will assume Lhat that distance is divided equally
between Clinton Street and Dubuque Street and that the above referenced
line would then 129. 51 east of the west property line and 190. 51 west of
the east property line. The east part as defined would include the
fences and backstop for the ball diamond. The west part would include
the building, lighted tennis courts, playground equipment, trees, shrubs,
flower gardens, picnic bench shelter, etc. and also apparently include
the paved parking portion at the extreme south end. The total area of
the east part as defined herein is considered to be 36, 957 square feet.

IIIGIILST & BEST UQL OF SUBJECT SITE'
12.
Subject site is zoned M-1, Light Industrial. The site is presently developed
for and utilized as a neighborhood park. Based on development trends in the
neighborhood, it is the opinion of the appraiser that the highest and best use
of subject site would be for its development for office or commercial use.
With respect to traffic patterns, the site would most advantageously be de-
veloped as a single parcel so that ready access could be obtained to loth
directions of traffic on the Benton -Kirkwood traffic artery. The parcel
could be developed with a multiple use building. If the parcel were to he
developed as two separate sites, a developer might give consideration to
drive easements across the south portion of the property so as to provide
all parcels with access to both directions of travel.
Description of Improvements & Highest & Best Use of Subject
Property as Improved
Subject property is presently developed and improved as a park or play-
ground. Almost all the east portion of the park is open grassed area
with fences and backstop for a ball diamond. The western portion of the
park contains a fenced and.surfaced tennis court with lights, playground
equipment, a circular formal flower garden, a small picnic bench shel-
ter, and an older brick matintenance and toilet building. As residential
development in the neighborhood decreases, there is less demand for
the park facilities. The appraisal assumes the sale of the park or por-
tions thereof for commercial development, and the existing improve-
ments are not considered reflective of that highest and best use. The
appraisal is made on the assumption that the existing improvements
will be removed and the property will be marketed in a condition suit-
able for construction. An estimate, however, will be given for demo-
lition and site preparation.

The highest and best use of subject property as presently improved is
for the removal of existing improvements and the development of com-
mercial facilities.

Dear Members of the Downtown Association:
The Iowa City Design Review Committee is pleased to invite you to a program that
has been planned in conjunction with the symposium, "Buildings Reborn: New
Uses, Old Places". The program will be on Thursday, October 30, at Old Brick at
5:00 p.m. Wine and cheese will be served.
The featured speaker will be Mr. Michael Nichols, a Real Estate Consultant with
Shlaes & Co., Chicago, Illinois. His experience with the Shlaes firm has been
extensive in working with small cities' downtown renewal and redevelopment. He
will direct his talk to business people and will emphasize the economic benefits
of preservation and adaptive uses of buildings. There will be ample opportunity
for questions. The film "Main Street", which takes a look at people who are
helping to restore and revitalize downtowns in small cities, will be shown.
The Shlaes firm has been the consultant for the National Trust for Historic
Preservation and for the cities of Galesburg, Illinois, Madison, Indiana and Hot
Springs, South Dakota. This work has been done in connection with the Trust's
Main Street Project, a pilot program to integrate historic preservation and
economic revitalization efforts.
We hope this brief description of the program will interest you and that you
will take this opportunity to listen to Mr. Nichols. Your participation, we're
certain, will be not only informative and interesting, but also very helpful.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 353-6271 (office) or 338-9818
(home), or call Larry Chiat at 354-1800, Ext. 335. Thank you.

Number 5 CITYOF IOWA CITY OCTOBER 1980
AN APPEAL
FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Our country is at one end
of a 12,000 mile supply line,
and half the oil that we use is
on the other end of that supply
line. Energy security is a
vital link also between
national military security on
the one hand, and economic
security at home... Oil imports
are the greatest single factor
in the high inflation which
afflicts our country.
...we will never reach
our goals of energy security
without a nationwide
determination to use energy
more efficiently...the best
energy that we can describe or
encompass is that which we
save, which we do not waste.
It's the quickest, cheapest,
cleanest way to increase the
reserves of energy which we
actually need to consume.
...if we can launch
successfully a clear,
dedicated, persistent effort
that will involve literally
millions of Americans... we can
finally achieve the purpose
that we endorse. We can
accomplish 25 percent
reduction in energy use for
transportation, for heating
and cooling buildings and for
industry. -mor* page p -
LO -CAL HOUSES SAVE ENERGY
A Northern Virginia builder, using well-known construction
techniques, has succeeded in reducing home heating costs nearly
80% in newly constructed homes. Harry Hart, a former Iowan and
past employee at the Smithsonian Institution, built six houses in
Giles Knoll, Virginia and the results have been spectacular. In
these new homes heating costs were only about one-quarter of the
average for similar houses.
Hart builds his houses with double insulation in double walls.
The houses are passive solar because each has a large window area
facing south which permits the sun to warm the house during the
winter. The windows are double glazed for improved heating and
cooling efficiency. The homes also have an enclosed area
(vestibule) inside the front door for the same purpose. These
techniques are even more attractive than other methods of solar
power because they are more economical and have no maintenance
costs.
The house's double walls prevent cold from being conducted
through lumber into the house - a problem even when ordinary walls
are well -insulated. They have doubled the recommended insulation
in the walls (6") and doubled the recommended amount in the
ceiling (12"). There are no windows on the east and west sides of
the house. -more page 2 -
ENERGY AUDITS TO BEGIN
The Energy Conservation Office will start another phase of the
comprehensive City Energy Saving program in late October.
This section of the program will consist of walk-through
energy audits of all 31 heated City buildings. In the spring
of this year the Recreation Center, the Cemetery Office
Building, and the Southeast Fire Station were audited.
Roger Tinklenberg will conduct the audits. He will be looking
for areas that are not efficiently utilizing energy.
Discoveries made by Roger will be collected in the form of
recommendations to the departments involved. These
recommendations will usually be for low or not cost solutions
to the problems identified. However, major capital investment
projects will be called for if there is need. -,pore pees s -

HOUSES......
The construction techniques
Hart uses have been known for
years but apparently no one ever
put them together in an energy
savings package because fuel
costs lack the importance they
do now. Most of Hart's ideas
came from the Small Home Council
at the University of Illinois
which designed what it called
the "Illinois Lo -Cal House".
Almost all of Hart's
information was found in a 1945
publication of the Council.
Few of the techniques have been
used since then due to a lack of
incentive. However, pressure
An the form of sky -rocketing
fuel bills has -brought these
methods out of mothballs.
Perhaps now a larger share of
new homes will be constructed in
this manner saving home owners

SY 15 MILES A WIM
President Carter has asked us
all to drive 15 miles less every
week. And if you're like most driv-
ers, you can save 15 miles—and
probably a lot more—just by
changing your driving habits and
planning ahead. Here are five easy
ways to save 15 miles:
• Set aside one day a week as
your "car -free" day.
• Join a work pool, school pool
or shopping pool.
• Trim your driving by two
miles a clay. .
• Think before you drive.
Combine trips and be sure
each trip is necessary.
• Ride with someone who's
already on the road—the
bus driver.

AUDITS,,,,....,
Roger will focus on windows and doors that need
weatherstripping, excess lighting levels in buildings, and
deficient controls such as leaky valves, broken thermostats,
and, continuously running fans. By identifying and correcting
these items energy cost to the City can be cut. The audits, of
the three buildings dones last spring revealed that energy
usage could be cut by 10 to 20 percent in each building. The
savings from this would be approximately $5,183 per year. The
average time needed for the recommended improvements to pay
for themselves in energy savings ranges from a few months to
two or three years depending on the initial investment cost.
The audits alone will not insure energy savings. The recolslmen-
dations resulting from the audits must be implemented to
realize cost savings. The money saves by improving energy
efficiency in City buildings will help offset the increasing..
cost of energy. Hopefully, larger savings will be realized in
later stages of the conservation program so money can be
channelled to other departments and programs that are useful
rather than spending for high cost energy.

Dear Mr. Seydel:
Subject: IA 22-3
Iowa City, Iowa
On May 9, 1980, we transmitted, for processing, the one proposal received
for initial screening on the above turnkey project. All sections responded,
and we notified you on June 16 that you could notify Southgate Development,
Inc. of their tentative selection as turnkey developer. Our next step,
once the developer accepted his selection, would be to initiate formal pro-
cessing so that an ultimate development conference could be scheduled to
discuss a tentative price.
We could not, however, initiate this formal processing until an additional
site included in the developer's packet had been reviewed and approved by
HUD. The HUD -52651; Preliminary Site Report, and related documents were
received from you on August -18, 1980.. Therefore, on August.25, a review.
was requested by our Valuation andArchitecturalSections. These reviews
were completed September 30 and our comments follow:
TENTATIVE SITE APPROVAL
Site N15 - 1200 Highland
Site is the south portion of vacated Pickard Street between Highland
Avenue and Friendly Avenue. Site is currently used for garden
by adjoining property owners.
Site is 18-2411 above -street with a• gentle slope from south to

The area is comprised of single family residential properties
in the low to moderate price range. Pride of ownership is
prevelant.
The site is acceptable for family housing; however, there is a
sewer line running through the site. It would appear that the
houses at either side of site are served by this sewer. Accept-
ability is predicated on relocating sewer line so it will not
interfere with building placement. If possible, it would be pre-
ferred to abandon the sewer and connect to the line in Highland
Avenue.
At your request, we have completed our "as is" appraisal of this site which
is estimated to be $9,250. This value is contingent upon relocating the
sewer.
This should not be construed as granting final site approval on this site.
Final site approval cannot be given until submission of title opinions,
surveys acceptable to HUD, and satisfying any conditions of tentative site
approval.
The fair market value is the highest price estimated in terns of money which
a property will bring if exposed for sale in the open market, allowing a
reasonable time to find a purchaser who buys with knowledge of all the uses
to which it is adapted and is capable of being used.
The basis of the value conclusion is the market price of comparable properties
adjusted for observable differences between each comparable and the subject
property.
The PHA should now request that the developer revise his proposal based on
the above and those comments included in your August 14, 1980, letter to,
Donna Martin. Once this revised information is received, in six copies,; we
can initiate formal technical processing. Once we complete this stage of
processing, a Development Conference may be held so that a tentative price
can be agreed upon.
If we can answer any questions on the information provided herein, please
feel free to contact us.

City Council
FROM: Lyle G. Seydel, Housing Coordinator
RE: public Housing
1. Attached correspondence from HUD is a result of a request for
Preliminary Site Approval submitted August 29, 1980 for pro-
perty located on the South side of Kirkwood Avenue between ex-
tension of Van Buren and Webster Street.
2. Essentially HUD has indicated the site is not acceptable based on
sale price and estimated development costs i.e. street extension
or access, sidewalks, utility extensions and grading. Factors not
considered by HUD but will have a bearing on increased development
costs are the tree ordinance and the water management ordinance.
Because the area is in excess of 2 acres any development proposed
would be in compliance with all criteria.
3. It is recommended that an executive session with Council be scheduled
to discuss possible acquisition and other courses of action.

We have completed Site Review on Site O1 on the above project. Our comments
`i
are included below:
Site 01 - South Side of Kirkwood Avenue between Van Buren and Webster Streets
The properties to the north and east are primarily single family residential
In the moderate price range. Properties to the south and west are
commercial and light industry.
The site has basically two building levels. The north.one-half is
approximately 8-101. higherthanthe-south one-half. There is a very
severe slope from the upper level to the lower level. There currently
E1•
is no access to .the south portion of .site. Extension of one.of the
streets south of the site will be required as the slope from north,'
to south would be excessive to run a street through from Kirkwood Avenue.
The site has an older two story house with basement which is occupied.
it
that would have to be'razed to obtain full utilization of site. This
would also involve relocation. Although grades are workable demolition
is necessary and earth moving no doubt will be required.j
j
The site is currently zoned for light industry which, in our opinion,
i
would.be the highest and best use for the site.

The HUD -52651 indicates the city is proposing 36 units or a density
of 15 units per acre. This would appear to be excessive. Ten units
per acre would be preferred. Also, there are a number of mature trees
I on the north portion of site which should be preserved if at all possible.
This would also affect density.
The site is acceptable for family housing, however, it would appear
that the cost for developing it will be excessive. First of all, the
sale price is $185,000.00, as indicated in the city letter, appears
very high for residential use.' This emphasizes that the site is not
being put to highest and best use, especially when coupled with the
cost to.extend streets for access to the rear area and installing sidewalk
along Kirkwood Avenue. No comps were gathered at this time but it
is our -opinion we will not be able to support the indicated sale price.
Due to the many reasons stated above, we would not recommend this site for
acceptance.
If we can supply any additional information, please feel free to contact
US.
