Vacation of College Street GENERAL INFORMATION: Applicant: Requested Action: Purpose: Size: Existing land use and zoning: Surrounding land use and zoning: Applicable regulations: SPECIAL INFORMATION Public utilities Transportation: Physical characteristics: MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR+LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • DES MOINES Prepared by: Doug Boothroy Date: March 20, 1980 City of Iowa City Vacation of College Street between Capitol Street and Madison Street The University of Iowa wishes to redevelop the right-of-way as a pedestrian way. 80 by 320 feet Street right-of-way South - University and CB and MI West - Univesity and MI North - University and CB and RIA East - Commercial and CB Provisions of Chapter 368 of the Code of Iowa.

The right-of-way presently provides vehicular access to University property. It could provide access to Old Capitol Center from Madison Street. The topography is gently sloping to moderately steep with slopes of between 2-12 percent. R A F ANALYSIS The vacation of College Street between Capitol and Madison is part of an overall street closure pattern established in the Urban Renewal plan. Resultant impacts relating to the street closure pattern in the Central Business District have been carefully analyzed since the inception of the urban renewal project in the early 1960's. This vacation is supported by previous decisions of the City Council, previous public and private investment, and a balancing of the needs of pedestrians, autos and transit. The University is interested in the closure of this street as it now owns all of the property adjacent to the subject right-of-way, The University has purchased urban renewal property under a form of contract and deed which incorporates the i urban renewal plan showing this street as closed. Plans have been drawn by the University to develop the subject right-of-way as a pedestrian link tying the i University Library area directly to Old Capital Center. Since this portion of College Street is part of the Original Town plat and J established as an easement for right -or -way purposes, the ownership of which is i with the State of Iowa, the right -of way necessarily reverts to the State of Iowa upon vacation of the easement. Existing within the .College Street right-of-way are various utilities (e.g., water, sewer,'gas, etc.) over which an utility easement should be acquired from the State of Iowa. This utility easement would provide for the maintenance of existing utilities and installation of new utilities. The vacation of the right-of-way easement should be subject to obtaining from the State of Iowa a 80 foot wide utility easement. RECOMMENDATION The staff recommends that the City vacate College Street between Capitol and Madison.Streets subject to acquiring from the State of Iowa an 80 foot utility easement over the aforementioned right-of-way.
