Engineering Conference Room
MEMBERS PRESENT: Buchan, Ormond, Franklin
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
STAFF PRESENT: Siders Frantz, Shima
OTHERS PRESENT: Five citizens
SUI.IMARY OF DISCUSSION AND ACTION TAKEN:
Secretary of the Board Siders called the meeting to order and the roll call
of the members was taken. It was moved by Franklin, seconded by Buchan, to
approve the minutes of the meeting held on February 14, 1980. The motion
Passed unanimously.
Chairman Buchan opened the meeting for discussion.
Staff member Siders pointed out that there is a piece of information he
wanted to comment on before getting into the code review. He wanted the
! Board's opinion on a proposed amendment going through Council now which was
i' drafted up by the Public Works Department. It is an amendment to Chapter 33
of the existing 1976 UBC, and that amendment is to increase the travel dis-
tance from 200 to 250 feet for open parking garages. The purpose of this
amendment is that Public Works would like to delete one stair tower in the
new parking ramp -- to save money. That amendment is a provision that is
found in the '79 Code so when we adopt the code, unless the Board wishes
to change it, be allowed in the new code. The Board's feelings were requested
to see if there were any problems in adopting this section from the '79 Code
into the '76 Code for the purpose of issuing a building permit for that ramp.
The Board recommended that the Council adopt this amendment.
Review of UBC and proposed changes were discussed as follows:
Chapter 6 - Requirements for Group A Occupancies
The only change is the incorporation of all the assembly
occupancies into one chapter, Staff has no code amendments.
Section 605 - Light, Ventilation and Sanitation.
Discussion followed on automatic -closing devices
in registers or vents (in comparison with Chaptrr
8, Sec. 802) and duct work. Staff will report on
the above-mentioned devices and also see if there
is a code conflict.

STAFF PRESENT: Milkman, Charbon, Hencin.
GUESTS PRESENT: Carlyle, KXIC; Neubauer; Balmer, Mayor.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Vice -Chairperson Knight called the meeting to order and called for
consideration of the minutes of February 6, 1980. Fountain stated that
page 2, sentence one should read ...that the Planning and Zoning
Commission "was concerned about methods of getting ownership of the River
Corridor." Gilpin moved and Lewis seconded that the minutes be approved
as corrected. Motion carried unanimously.
Knight stated that there would be a public hearing on the new sewage
treatment plant on April 1, 1980, at 7:30 PM in the Civic Center. Milkman
explained that the main reason for this is to hear any comments on the
environmental review. A copy of the environmental review is on file in
the City Clerk's office. Knight stated that it would be in the
Commission's interest to have someone attend this public hearing. Gilpin
stated that he would attend.
Committee Reports:
Baker reporting for Coralville, stated that Mayor Kattchee had asked the
County Conservation Board to approve money to repair the catwalk that
crosses the Iowa River by Iowa River Power Restaurant. The Board has
included funding for a detailed cost estimate for the necessary repairs.
Baker stated that he would have an update on this for.,the next meeting.
Update on Boat Ramp:
Milkman reported that a letter had been sent to Stanley Consultants
expressing the displeasure of the Commission concerning the oversight of
the cost for using the City landfill. Milkman stated that Bill Klatt of
Stanley Consultants called and apologized for the oversight. Milkman then
explained that Bruce Knight, Planner/Program Analyst, talked to the DEQ
who said that the excavated material could be redeposited on the old
landfill site if special regulations were followed. Stanley Consultants
stated that compliance with these regulations was no problem. The
consultants also stated that using a steeper grade for the earthen banks
of the ramp would reduce excavation and therefore the costs. Milkman also
reported that there was some question on the part of the Airport

Commission as to the exact location of the boat ramp. The Airport
Commission not

in the app roved the ramp subject to several
the Airport Commission had originally app
provisions. One of the provisions was that the entire area of the boat
ramp and parking area be within the approach zone to runway 24. Gilpin
also stated that the Airport Commission as a commission felt they owned
uld like to lease or sell the land which the
this piece of land, and wo
parking area is on for income purposes. Gilpin explained that the Airport
Commission had reviewed maps and drawings which had the exact location of
the boat ramp and that they had agreed to the plans and signed e
Memorandum of Understanding with the City. He also explained that he
would attend the meeting of the Airport Commission on Thursday, March 20,
1980, to discuss this matter.
Gilpin then took charge of the meeting.
River Corridor Overlay Zone:
Milkman stated that a staff member was working on the revision of the
River Corridor Overlay Zone Ordinance, using the recommendations from the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
Future of the•Riverfront Commission:

Gilpin wentto theirx
xcharge hfromtthe City Council, theies of the Riverfont accomplishments members,ommission
on to eplain accomplishmentsof
according
1979, and the pending items for action. Gilpin stated that he felt t a
the Riverfront Commission had really accomplished a great deal in 1979 and
that there were many things to be finished up in 1980. He stated that less
than $5,000 would keep the commission functioning. Mayor Balmer said he
agreed with Gilpin about all the accomplishments of the Riverfront
Commission and that the Riverfront Commission will have the funding to
finish all projects currently under way.
The Commission members expressed concern over whether or not the
Commission could continue as a commission without staff assistance,
pointing out that without staff assistance the Commission would have no
way of realizing that federal funds were available for projects, let alone
prepare applications for these federalfunds. gAlcommission c ordination
also needs
assistance with legal aspects of public
with other City departments on certain projects.
Mayor Balmer commented on the City budget problems and stated that other
possibilities of funding would be to ask the County and Coralville for
financial support because the River Corridor does concern each one of them
also, or to place the Riverfront Commission under the Department of Parks
and Recreation. Balmer's other suggestion was that he would bring the
matter up at the informal Council meeting and see what other Council
members supporting mission decided that a

the City Council also supporting the Riverfront Commission.
Other Business:
Merle J. Neubauer, 2203 East Court Street, reported to the Commission his
concerns about the riverfront, in particular the debris on the banks below
the Burlington St. dam. Neubauer also explained that he saw several spots
of large discolored areas in the river which he felt were coming from
Moore Business Forms. The Commission discussed the alternatives which
they could use to check if this discoloration was being discharged from
Moore Business Forms. It was decided that Robertson would make a
complaint about this to the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

John Redick, Sue Young (KXIC)
Chairman Phipps called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. and noted
attendance. Mr. Zehr introduced guests. Phipps asked for discussion of
the minutes of the last meeting. There being none, Saeugling moved for
approval of the minutes, second by Dieterle, motion carried.
Phipps then called for election of new officers. Dennis Saeugling and
Carolyn Dieterle were both nominated for the office of chairman, and Dieterle
was elected by a majority vote. Redick was nominated for the office of Vice
Chairman by Saeugling, second by Dieterle, and Redick was elected. Phipps
then turned the meeting over to the new chairman, Dieterle, who thanked
Mr. Phipps for his excellent service as chairman during the past year.
Dieterle then asked Manager Zehr for his presentation of bills and reports.
Mr. Zehr explained the snow removal bill, which will total a little less than
j $2500 for the year for all expenses involved. Other bills were discussed
1 briefly; Phipps moved for approval of the bills, second by Saeugling, and
the bills were unanimously approved.
Zehr Introduced the subject of the McCrabb lease, explaining that Mr. McCrabb
had asked, one week prior to the meeting, to be put on the agenda, but had
called just prior to the meeting to say that he would be unable to attend.
Mr. McCrabb had said he would be willing to pay all rent due and make
repairs on the building, but wanted to be able to sublease the building.
Attorney Scholten explained that McCrabb had paid no rent since November,
had abandoned the building, and had clearly not complied with the terms of
the lease. Discussion by the commissioners indicated no interest in renewing
the relationship with McCrabb. Phipps moved for the Commission to consider
the lease terminated and to direct Attorney Scholten to proceed with the
termination and so advise McCrabb. There was a second by Redick, and the
motion was approved by all members. There followed a brief discussion of
the term "proprietary function" and how it pertains to the possibility of
adding a second story to the building in question. Scholten explained that
Chapter 330 of the Iowa Code states that funds shall be used for construction
and maintenance of airports, and that this probably precludes the use of
funds for the purpose of building a second story for commercial purposes.
Phipps stili encouraged the members to Investigate the possibility of adding
space In this manner, since it would be an Inexpensive way to do so. Zehr
was aked to obtain bids for the repair of the roof and the interior.

Iowa City Airport Commission - 2 -
March 20, 1980
Zehr then introduced Mr. Kieffer Garton from Doane Agricultural Service,
Inc., to explain the management agreement the Commission has with that firm
and to answer any questions about the arrangement. Garton explained the
"direct account" now in effect, whereby all bills are paid by the Commission,
and presented a financial summary for 1978 and 1979. The alternative to
the direct account arrangement Is the "farm account," in which the firm
holds funds from a farm, from which to pay bills. That account is balanced
daily, and unused funds are invested In short term government notes,
enabling the firm to pay interest to the farms, which interest totaled 12.28
the previous month. Garton was asked for his opinion of the advisability of
cash rental of the land versus the present system of shared crops. He was
doubtful that cash rental would be more profitable for the Commission,
considering the unique problem which exists for the airport farm because
much of the acreage must be planted in short crops. Continuous planting
of soy beans necessitates extensive use of fertilizers and chemicals in order
to produce a profitable crop. Phipps asked about the possibility of sod
farming. Garton's reply was that he knows little about it; it is a very
specialized business and is very labor intensive. Garton felt that the crop
share arrangement is the best use that could be made of the land. Garton
reintroduced his proposal, discussed at the previous meeting, to sell 308
of the anticipated crop in advance. Redick moved to approve Garton's letter,
giving him permission to sell 308 of the anticipated crop in advance and to
change the financial arrangement from a direct account to a farm account;
second by Saeugling, motion carried. Zehr will proceed to stake out 22 more
acres of land for soy beans, moving the farm land to within 75 feet of the
runways. Phipps will meet with Garton to check out the possibility of selling
the sod and other uses which might be made of the land in 1981.
The next item introduced by Zehr was the lease with Iowa City Flying Service.
Mr. E. K. Jones and his attorney were unable to attend the meeting and
had asked for a postponement of the matter until next month. Dleterle said
that the provisions of the lease which preclude other activites need Immediate
consideration, and suggested that members of the commission contact Mr. Jones
soon to discuss the lease and its problems. Dieterle, Zehr and Scholten will
study the lease and then talk with Jones.
Bruce Knight and Bill Gilpin were introduced to discuss the location of the
proposed boat ramp at Sturgis Ferry Park. Mr. Knight explained that the
proposed location directly across from the old United hanger has been in the
planning for over a year. It was not the Intention of the River Front
Commission to build the ramp in a wrong place. However, plans have been
drawn, funding acquired, and they are ready to release the plan for bids.
Moving the location would require new studies and the delay would risk the
loss of funds. Phipps explained that the commissioners had been under the
Impression that the ramp would be located to the north, in the approach
zone of runway6/24, and therefore on land that could not be used for other
development. He feels strongly that the city should not use three or four
hundred feet of prime revenue land for the building of a boat ramp. Since
the memo which granted permission to build the ramp stated "directly across
from the old United hanger," it was agreed that the decision clearly belongs
to the River Front Commission. Saeugling moved to ask that commission to
