planters. 4) Improve location of trees to be placed on west side of Clinton
Street.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Chairperson Lilly called the meeting to order and asked for approval of the
minutes of September 19, 1979. Alexander moved, and Wegman seconded, that the
minutes be approved as circulated. Motion carried unanimously.
Block 64 Hotel/Retail Project Update:
Chiat stated that the resolution authorizing soliciation of proposals was
approved by City Council and that legal notice would be published on Saturday,
January 12, 1980. Distribution of the prospectus would begin on Monday, January
14, 1980. Proposals will be due back on April 8, 1980. Within two weeks of
that date, the City Council will announce the selection of a developer. Chiat
described the alternative development proposals that are possible under the
terms of the prospectus.
Streetscape Phase II -C:
Paul Popelka, Ames Engineering and Testing Company, presented the Streetscape
Phase II -C Concept Plan. Popelka stated that the plants and trees have not
been chosen yet, but would be brought to the Committee at a later date. Popelka
also stated the plant materials would be bid separately from the actual con-
struction bid. Popelka explained that there will be a brushed concrete side-

Popelka pointed out that Clinton Street will be a four lane street, with two
lanes in each direction. He stated that stop lights were planned for the
pedestrian crossing area at the intersection of College Street with Clinton
Street. Traffic on Clinton Street will be stopped at College only when the
stop lights are activated upon pedestrian demand. The Committee members
stated their opposition to the concept of stop lights at the College -Clinton
intersection. It was the consensus of the Committee that such traffic signals
violate the purpose of City Plaza as a pedestrian mall. The Committee strongly
recommended that yield -to -pedestrian signs be used instead of traffic signals.
As a second choice, the Committee suggested the use of stop signs.
The Committee discussed the desirability of placing three flag poles at the
intersection of College with Clinton, preferably on the west side of Clinton.
The Committee also suggested that raised brick edging be placed around the
planters onClinton Street, and that there be some relocation of the trees
planned for the west side of Clinton Street.
The Committee unanimously adopted the following resolution: That the Streetscape
Phase II -C Concept Plan be accepted with these changes: 1) That pedestrian
yield signs be utilized at the intersection of College Street with Clinton Street.
2) Inclusion of flag poles at intersection of College and Clinton. 3) Use of
raised brick edging around planters. 4) Improve location of trees to be placed
on west side of Clinton Street.
Design Conference and Workshop:
The Committee discussed the possibility of films for use at a downtown design
conference and workshop. It was decided that Lilly would consult the chairperson
of the Johnson County Arts Council and see if they have any recommendations for
such a workshop.

STAFF PRESENT: Showalter, Lee, Howell, Christner, Crutchfield, Mellecker
GUESTS PRESENT: Marsha Wegman, Mary MacGregor, and other Arts Council members;

RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY COUNCIL
None.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTION TAKEN
Showalter introduced the two new members of the Parks and Recreation Commission,
Fred Riddle and David Wooldrik. They will be officially appointed to the
Conmission at the February 5 City Council meeting.
There have been additional budget cuts suggested by the City Manager and the
Budget Administrator; most are shown on the corrected budget handouts for each
division for the 7000, 8000, and 9000 series. A total of $70,300 in personnel
cuts from Recreation, Parks, Government Buildings, Cemetery, and Administration
have also been requested. Suggested cuts are:
$19,300 Asst. Recreation Superintendent (planned retirement, 4/80)
8,000 ASERP 3/5 time position in Recreation (resigned eff. 2/1/80)
11,600 Maintenance Worker I in Parks (resigned 1/25/80)
12,600 1/2 of part-time in Parks
3,333 Parks overtime wages
1,000 Cemetery overtime wages
7,700 Recreation part-time
3,400 Cemetery part-time (1/4 of total)
3,000 CBD part-time ( 1/4 of total)
Cutting part-time at the parks will probably mean elimination of trimming the
sewer plant, Highway 218 mowing, and other trimming done for other City departments.
Another possibility would be to charge Enterprise for any work done for them.
Mowing and trimming at the parks would remain at the same service level. Use of
CETA, practicums, and interns could help fill
i P any personnel shortages.
i
Lee reported that Mary Hoien had been selected to fill the Assistant Recreation
Supervisor for Special Populations, effective January 29. She replaces Jan Lown.
I
Marsha Wegman of the Iowa City/Johnson County Arts Council requested funding for
Arts Council programs, including Plaza activities, a proposed art center, and the
director's position. (The $2500 requested was cut previously from the Recreation
budget.)

Chairperson Blum stated that this was a revised request, the first request being
to exempt parking areas in every zone throughout the City and was denied by the
Commission at the last meeting.
Mark Hammer, Attorney for the Ecumenical (lousing Corporation, stated that because
relatively few open parking lots now exist in the Central Business zone, the pro-
posed amendment would not have wide impact in terms of any ecological and environ-
mental Concern. Further, with regard to the Ecumenical Housing Corporation's pro-
ject and to the landscaping plan as designed, there is a great deal of landscaping
proposed and far greater than required with the parking lot. More specifically,
if the Ecumenical Housing Corporation is required to meet the Tree Regulations for
the parking lot four parking spaces would have to be relocated across the alley
immediately adjacent to the building itself and would result in taking out much of
the landscaping in that area and this would exceed the number of trees gained by
meeting the requirements of the Tree Regulations for the parking lot. Finally, the
parking lot will change in no respect except to remove the existing parking meters.
Hammer felt the commission should look at the overall impact of this amendment on
the entire City. The amendment in a large degree maybe an acceptance of the fact
that in the Central Business Zone additional trees in the parking lots is not
necessary.
Blum asked Hammer why this was not taken to the Board of Adjustment. Hammer stated
that an amendment would be the quickest process to comply with the Tree Ordinance.
Bruce Glasgow, 834 N. Johnson, stated as a part owner of a parking lot in this zone
that he wanted the same treatment as Ecumenical Housing and further stated he felt
that the City should rescend the Tree Regulations.
Following some discussion by the commission, the commission voted to pass the amend-
ment of Sections 8.10.40.7A and 8.10.40.6A of Appendix A of the Code of Ordinances
of Iowa City, Iowa, exempting parking lots from meeting the Tree Regulations in the
CB zone. (4-2) (Jakobsen and Blum opposed.)

Amhurst Street.
Boothroy presented a location map showing the request area. Boothroy stated that

classifiction.
2. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan (Trafficways Plan) modifying Traffic -

Mark Tage, 706 Prairie du Chien, stated that he was opposed to Foster Road for
reasons stated in the study. He also stated that he does agree with alternative
C as proposed in the study,
Jeff Sales, 1607 Prairie du Chien, stated that he had another page to add to
the petition he presentated on December 20, 1979. (Petition Attached)
Pat Grant, 1543 Prairie du Chien, stated that there was no problem with the alter-
native routes for traffic.
Mike New, 1680 Ridge Road, stated that he felt that if Foster Road opens to the
north it would open the area for development. He also stated that this area
represents a fragil environmental area. What has the commission done to identify
these areas and finding ways to encourage their preservation? In the Comprehensive
Plan a study was mentioned to protect these areas. Has this been done or when
will it be done? Blum answered by saying that Parks & Recreation was now working
on acquisition of land for park purposes.

I am appalled by the philosophy Lhnt public projects do not, have to
abide by the same ordinances that private enterprise projects must.
I am appalled by the school system conducting, a stornge and shop
facility on First Avenue in the middle of a nice,, residential area contrary
to city zoning; imparting a negative effect on the neighborhood and
property value.
T am appalled that the University can build two high rise buildings
that pro,jnef. Into the glide path of Lhe airport, are. within 100 yards of
slni,Ie family renidence,, and nurel.y impnel. negatively on Lhese resident.::.
Yet, when private, development, prnpose.^, to hulld high rine, within I6 mile
of their audiLorium, thn Ilnlvcrnity administration screems.
1 am appalled that advocates of public housing reel they should not,
to hound by city zoning. A proposal for elderly housing near Mercer
Park, which is in a single family zone, brought heavy pressure to change
that zone in Order to allow the development, even though private devel-
opment for multi -family use would never have been considered.
Now comes the proposal that the. Ecumenical Housing parking lot should
not have to comply wi.tt the tree ordinance of Iowa City, when other
almost, identical instances in private development the city required
parking lot improvement to provide trees (i.e. Ken's & Western World).
Tn an attempt to avoid compliance, the city legal staff is sent scurrying
to find legal loopholes to show why the Ecumenical Housing does not come
under the perview of City ordinance, when with private development the
legal staff's efforts are directed to why they must comply.
In my opinion, public projects should set the example for out -stand -
Ing development, as demonstrated by the, Washington Street, project, City
PLaza, and Chauncey Swan parking lot. Instead, we see Ecumenical
(lousing trying to do the opposite. This development will have many
people residing for long term, some of them may have autos of their
own. Certainly the quality of life for those who look out their
windown t,n the north would he improved if a sea or asphnIL, which we
call n parking lot, were intprsperaprl with a few trees; aril n few
cars could be afforded the luxury of parking I& the shade of a tree;
and the reflected heat and glare could be reduced by a few trees.

month.
REQUESTS TO THE CITY MANAGER
None.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE CITY STAFF
The RCC accepted the report of Central State Energy Research
Corporation of Iowa City, Iowa, and recommends that the Energy
Program Coordinator award Pilot Solar Demonstration Project grants
to the Gordon and Dorothea Anderson family and the Steve Moen and
Kathleen Dee family.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN

the Commission.
Gormezano moved, Singer seconded, to approve the minutes of the
January 17, 1980, meeting as read. Approved unanimously.
SOLAR ACCESS
Steve Carter reported that the Iowa Assembly is considering the
passage of a solar access law. If the Assembly includes a "prior
appropriation" provision in the legislation, then it may be unneces-

Singer moved, Gormezano seconded, that the RCC accept Steve Carter's
report and that the Commission postpone further action on a local
solar access ordinance until word of further action by the Iowa
Assembly. Approved unanimously.

of existing homes, and generally lower thermostat settings in all
homes.
