meeting of representatives of Large Cities in Des Moines on
May 14th with Mayor Cole of Sioux City to lobby for pending
bills that affect cities, and advised that he would attend
with any others who wished to attend.
Mayor Czarnecki asked that a status report be given on the
UMTA Grant Application and the discussionswiththe University
and Coralville. Finance Director Joe Pugh pointed out that
because of the Department of Transportation s--decision-to-
consider the matter of deferring the portion ;of the grant
that applies to the University, two options had been developed
to present to -Council, -l) make a'decision ,to defer the
-..University-'s portion or 2) to negotiate and amend the present
13c Agreement. _-After talking to the Department of Transportation
on how the deferral works and how it affects the 13c Agreement,'
-he found that the Secretary of Labor's assurance was more
- -broad than had been anticipated under that agreement, and
recommended that it was vital to review the Secretary of
Labor's letter of assurance and -noted _that` -it points up the
important aspect that the 13c Agreement must=:be backed up
by ,strong lease; agreements. He reported that the Coralville
"City 'Council 'will -finalize their lease agreement after the
relationship with the University is clarified. After dis-
cussion, it was moved by Brandt and seconded by Neuhauser
that the City Manager and Staff analyze the letter from the
Secretary of Labor and continue the discussions with the
University, -_,and report back to Council`. Motion carried, 3/1,
Czarnecki voting 'no'.
The City Manager commented that as the noon luncheon at
Mercy Hospital would be late, that it would be a good idea
to defer the -starting -of-the"Monday May 12th -meeting to 1:30 P.M.
Council agreed. Mr. _:Berlin presented -a letter from the
Department of Public Instruction concerning a special summer

Your thoughts on these two legislative pro-

of great interest to me and you may rest assured
that I will give ,them `careful consideration in con-
nection -with the future hearings which I'expect our

Dear liayor Czarnecki: -
As a city official you are well aware -of -what unemployment and the
pira.ling cost of food -has been doing to meal menus of ,low income families.
This summer when children are out of school and not receiving free lunches,
many children will go hungry and exist on substandard meals. i L'
.Action now on your part could provide needy -children in Iowa City _
with one daily nutritious meal during those tragic surlier months. Through -
the Special
hroughtheSpecial Food Service Program for Children, several hundred children
-
-
ia.Iowaandthousands throughout-thenation have received -at least one
nutritious meal daily the; past five summers. This letter is'your invitation
to provide similar dietary improvement to hungry children in„your city.
Some cities have made the meal service an important part of their
=summer recreation program because an -ill -fed, undernourishedchildhas - -
• little energy or inclination for physical activity. ]lunger hurts. Physical
activity without food often only increases that hunger.
We are writing you at this time because_; each program must have an
approved sponsor. in Indiana, schoolshaveprovided the meals under A
sponsorship of theCountyEvteusion Service. In Iowa, Priendly_House,r
a community settlement house, has sponsored a noon meal program for 100
or more needy children each summer.
Each year some proposed Iowa programs have _failed .to receive funding
because they waited too long to find an approvable sponsor with adequate
staffing.ard`facilities. The money they could have claimed to feed hungry !.
children in Iowa was forfeited andclaimedby an Illinois, Ohio, or some ;
other state's program.
"There are strong indications that nutritional factors at a number of
different levels contribute significantly, to depressed intellectual level
as well -as learning failure. Moreover, -an adequate state of nutrition is
necessary for good attention and for appropriate and sensitiveresponsiveness
to environment."<(p.;23-24)
"Evidence from human studies also suggests that severe,' long lasting
protein -calorie malnutrition in young children may be followed by
modifications in behaviour aad mental performance.” (p.'29-30)

To: Developers, Contractors Engineers, Architects
'
working in Iowa City
here for your easy reference; is a brochure forth
-setting
the design standards for Public Works improvements
,as,they
apply here in Iowa City. We feel that attention to these
standards will result in less confusion -and -uncertainty on
your part while planning, designing and constructing, these
facilities, well
as as reducing -the operating and maintenance
problems which the City of Iowa City encounters once the
facility is built and in use.
-
This booklet contains standards for streets and alleys,
'
sidewalks, water distribution systems, sanitary and storm
sewers, traffic signals and 'street -lighting. It should be
pointed out that these standards are by no means all
'
inclusive, For more detailed information -please contact the
Engineering Division of the Department of Public Works -
which is responsible for the implementation of these design
'
criteria.
Thank you for your cooperation. We hope you enjoy working
'
in Iowa City.

the signal -head placement and the signs and markings
used at nonintersection locations to be sure drivers
'
are aware of this special application.

6.2.4 Warrant 4, School Crossing
A traffic
control signal may be warranted at an established
-
_ school crossing when a traffic engineering study of the
frequency and adequacy of gaps in the vehicular traffic
stream ns related to the number and size of groups of
school children at -the school crossing shows that the
number of adequate gaps in the traffic stream during the
period when the children are using the crossing is less
-the
than number of minutes in the same period.
'
When traffic control signals are installed entirely
under this warrant:
a._ Pedestrian indications shall be`provided at least
for each crosswalk established as a school crossing.
'
b. At an intersection, -the signal normally should -be
traffic -actuated. As a minimum,: it 'should. be semi-
emi-traffic-actuated,but
traffic-actuated,-,butfull actuation with detectors
on all approaches may be desirable. Intersection in-
stallations.that can be fitted into -progressive
'
signal systems may have pretimed control.
c. At -non
-intersection crossings, the -signal should
be pedestrian -actuated, parking and other obstructions
.to -view should be prohibited for at least 100 feet
in advance of and 20 feet beyond the crosswalk, and
the installation_should.include suitable standard
signs and pavement markings. Special police super-
vision and/or enforcement should be provided for a
new non -intersection installation,

6.2.6 Warrant 6, Accident Experience
The Accident Experience warrant is satise:ied when:
'
a. Adequate trial of less restrictive rem edies with
has failed
satisfactory -observance and enforcement
and
— to reduce the accident frequency;
'
b. -Five or -more reported accidents, of types susceptible
have occurred

'
within a -period,
personal injury or property damage to an apparent
extent of $100 or more; and
c. -There exists a;volume :of vehicular

the minimum pedestrian volume warrant;
'
warrant, or
and
d. The signalinstallationwill not seriously disrupt
progressive traffic flow.
Any traffic signal installed solely on the Accident
-actuated
Experience warrant should, be semi -traffic

'
if installed at an intersection ,a,coordinated
fully traffic -actuated
--
system)'and normally should be
if installed at an isolated intersection.

6.2.7 Warrant 7, Systems Warrant
A traffic signal installation at some intersections
may he warranted to,_encourage-concentration and organization
of .traffic flow networks.
The Systems warrant: is applicable when the common inter-
nter-
section-of
section of two or more major routes has a total existing,
or immediately projected, entering: volume, of at least
800 vehicles during the peak hour of a typical weekday,
or each of any five, hours of a Saturday and/or Sunday.
A major route as used in the above warrant has one or more
_ - of the following characteristics:`'
'
a. It is part of the street or highway system that
serves as the principal network for through traffic
flow;
b: It connects areas of principal-traffic _generation;
c. .It includes rural or suburban highways outside of,
entering or traversing a city; _
'
d. It has surface street freeway or expressway ramp
terminals;
'
- e. It appears as a major route on an official plan
such as a major street, plan in an urban area traffic
and transportation study.
'
6.2.8 Warrant
8, Combination of Warrants
In exceptional cases, signals occasionally, may be
justified where no single warrant is satisfied but
where two or more of Warrants 1, 2 and 3 are satisfied
to the extent of 80; percent or more of the stated
'
values.
Adequate trial of other remedial measures which cause
less delay and inconvenience to traffic should precede
'
installation of signals under this warrant.
6.3 Pedestrian signal indications shall be-installed in conjunction
with vehicular traffic signals (which meet one or more of the
traffic signal warrants previously ;set forth) under any of the
following conditions:
6.3.1 When a traffic signal is installed under the pedestrian
volume or school crossing warrant.
6.3.2 When an exclusive interval or phase is provided or made
available for', pedestrian movement in one or more directions,
with all conflicting vehicular movements; being stopped.
'
6.3.3 When vehicular indications are not visible to pedestrians
such as in one-way=streets, at "T"`intersections;or when
the vehicular indications are in a position which wnuid
adoquately serve pedestrians.
VIII-10
'
6.3.4 At established school crossings. at intersections
under any ntersections signalized
warrant.
6.3.5
Pedestrian signal indications also may be installed under
any of the folio -wing
„conditions: '
'
a:' When any volume of pedestrian activity requires use
of a pedestrian clearance interval
to minimize -
vehicle -pedestrian conflicts,
or when it is necessary
assist pedestrians in making a safe
_
crossing.
b.- When indications (as with
timin split -phase
g) would tend to confuse pedestrians
'
guided
only by vehicle signal indications.
C. When pedestrians cross part of the street to or
from an island, during a

Dear Sir;
- - --
This letter is my
request for installation of city water for
my property located
-1900'North Dubuque Street City.
We think a change
in the city code by the cmty council might
provide this installation
of city water to the property to provide
fire nrotection,notwithstanding,
the other fourteen families
who need and want
city water.
7.e want to build
a home at the property regardless of what Tbr.
Slazek=and-Rogers
do regarding-their independence of their own _
water supply-and
wells-:-this is the problem.
Your city Manager
Mr. Berlin is aware and understands -some of
the, problemsinvolved.
Please advise us at your convenience
how we may obtain
,water and fire protection for our new home. -
Very truly ,yours.,
- - Vivian M. Raftis

by meeting other criteria established -by the authority.

Mr. Pugh is pursuing the question of the convention parking.
We hopetobe able to work out an arrangement which is mutually
satisfactory to the City and the Chamber. Mr. Pugh has referred
the matter to Mr. Hayek for a legal opinion to insure that the --
proposed program is consistent with legal requirements.
At its most recent informal Council fl_eeting,he City Council
" indicated that itdid not 'wish `to -participate in: the installation ='
and take-down of Christmas decorations in the downtown area. This
decision is, based upon an assessment of problems perceived with
other religious faiths and 'the 'experience the school district had
during .the holiday season. ! '.

Metal halide lamps, which have better color emission and greater
efficiency, were an- improvement ..over :.mercury . `.Recent improvements-in
mercury with phosphers,_however, have resulted in color rendition similar
to metal halide. :
About 1965, the introduction of high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamps
'
gave street lighting ,a,yellow-colored lamp, with approximately_ double the
efficiency of mercury lamps.' These lamps emit less: blue light with more

Present use of high-intensity discharge lamps in malls, parks, and
residential areas varies from 1t 5 footcandles,depending on distance
-
between `lamps. __Urban areas would normally,be•expected_to have higher
levels than sparcely settled regions.
Three questions thatariseare: Do these lamps have more effect
ter.
on altering the growth of plants than the ones that they replaced?
What is the effect of increasing the intensity of light throughout urban
-
...,
areas? What kinds of changes' in plant. growth should we expect From the '
new security` lighting?
To answer these and related questions, we should ,first summarize how
photoperiod regulates the growth of plants.
Photoperiod
Day-length effect on plants has been identified for more than 50
_.[
years as the major signal from the environment that regulates plant
response. From these observations,-we now know that light-dark cycles
}
during the 24-hour day trigger the flowering, branching, dormancy,
bulbing, and many other growth responses of plants.----Studies of artificial
dight sources'enabled USDA research scientists to discover that the red
part of 'the visible spectrum was the triggering light. cArtificial light"
`
helped them to identify and isolate "phytochrome" --,a blue, photorevers-`
'ible pigment whose red (580-700 nm) and far red ,(700-850 nm) absorbing
forma regulate plant''responsea. Any light =source-that affects the
photoperiod :responses ,of plants acts through its red content.
Incandescent-filament lamps, whose radiation is primarily in the red
region, are_the standard source for adjusting the' photoperiod of plants.
Plants may be classified into three major types: short-day,;
long-.day, and 'cday-neutral.
Short-day plants continue in vegetative growth or in flower only
- ;• '�
when the length of the daily light period is less than a critical number
of hours. Daily light periods shorter than the critical number promote
-vegetative growth or flowering. Daily light periods longer than.the
critical number inhibit vegetative growth or flowering.

Day -neutral plants continue in vegetative growth or

Light throughout the 24-hour day inhibits flowering and promotes
vegetative growth of short -day planta;, encourages continued vegetative.
growth. and early flowering of_long-day plants, and increases stem 'lengths
of day -neutral -plants Plants-- Plants vary
„greatly, in their responsiveness to -
light source, duration, and intensity. Since the new light source ;HPS,
provides illumination from dusk to dawn at intensities seldom before used'
forstreetlighting, many questions have been received from florists and
nurserymen concerning what effect -these lights would have on their -fields
and greenhouses adjacent to the brightly lighted areas. "Poinsettia,
chrysanthemum, and orchid growers learned the first year that their
Plants had to be covered nightly in order -to avoid -altering their _
scheduling of flowering. Into `the 'fall season young `plane trees

of a similar age that had been -screened -from the night lighting. Winter
dieback-was severe on the lighted trees during the following spring.
Experiments on Relative Effectiveness
Experiments were conducted -at -the Beltsville Agricultural Research
Center, "Beltsville, -Md., to determine the relative `effectiveness :of five
light sources on photoregulation of 22 species of ornamental ,planta:' An
abstract of the research waspublishedin HortScience for the_lants., An
meeting of the American Society f9713
or Horticultural Sciences

numerous requests to clarify the impact -of the new -at rest lighting

-.1. Is there combination of factorsinvolved, all of which must.
be eliminated, or is there'a single key factor at the root of the problem?
Light exerts its -growth -controlling effects only when the environ-
mental -and cultural conditions' are properly combined to permit=rapid
growth. ' Any factor that would limit growth -- cold,; heat, drought,
standing water --'could override the effects of the security: lighting.
Light.alone, at the intensities used for street lighting, is insufficient
to sustain growth. Ito effects come into force only when the natural day
is adequate to permit growth. Thus, night -temperatures -below 55° or
s_
above 90" F limit the-effectiv_eness.o_f the night Periods of
-lighting.
extra dry or wet weather would limit growthand thus reduce the sensi-
tivity of the plants to the night lighting. ,
,+
2., Wouldn't mercury lamps (or any light source) produce the same
" -
result with higher than normal light levels?
The effectiveness of a light source is dependent on its radiation a-
in the.red region. Mercury lamps emit little -radiation_ in the red
region; ,thus, any increase in the intensity of light_from this source
I
would not be expected to have;any more effect: than a; less .intense
lighting level.- Color -improved mercury lamps are essentially the
ordinary mercury, lamp with a', fluorescent powder covering the inside
.
surface. :Little red radiation is produced, since again the improved
A -
lamps would have no detectable effect, on most plants.

Photoregulation Ause of artificial light is not�anslocated from one
limb of, the plant to another. One can observe directly the effects of
the lighting in relation to the distance of the plant to the light and
the effects of .the position of the various limbs of the plant to the
-light source.
7 Are trees affected
becauseofthe continuation of -a minimum
level of light, daylight and artificial. on a 24 hoir'basis with no
w�
o2portunity-to rest?
Growth responses thataredue to photoperiod have no relationship to
the concept of rest. This is a concept that mankind brings from its own
t way of 'living to the plant world. -Plants live Put -of -doors -throughout
12 -months -and adjust 'their growth patterns in-response.to the light -dark - I
signal from the environment : Their actions are modified by temperature,
carbon;dioxide, nutrition, water, and -many other factors. Continuous t '
lighting depresses the formation and maintenence of chlorophyll in leaves
and promotes lengthening of the internodes of _the -branches and expansion
}; of the leaf area. -
All of these changes increase the likelihood that the leaves will
be more sensitive to air pollution during the growing season: Most daily
newspapers report the concentration of oxidants in the atmosphere based
on the standards of measurement established by the Council of Government's '
r Air Quality Index. Air pollution alerts are called when the level of
oxidants -in the atmosphere exceeds 100 parts per 100 million (by
definition). Planta';in a state of more rapid growth:face a; greater
risk of being injuredbythe increasing levels and frequencies of air
r pollution than plants growing without security lighting.One can detectair pollution injury on the recently' matured leaves,'as they will
3. initially have a glistening, -.oily-appearance. The tissues between the
veins of the leaves may turn pale green to white. The margins of some
leaves may dry to tan and may eventually rupture. The oldest leaves
.;, may progressively die and drop _from _the plants.
S. Are any figures available onhow many footcandles are required'
-to make trees grow faster and or longer?
Footcandles are a-measure`of the _amount ,of visible light, based on i
the sensitivity of the human eye. The curve is bell shaped, -and the I
r� maximum sensitivity occurs in yellow green. The blue and red regions, on
opposite ends of the visible spectrum,
_are not -detected readily by the --
�.i. 'eye as is, the yellow region. The red.I -region of the
the photoperiod ofspectrum-regulates
plants. -g,:
a ':footcandle:meter
can measure the:intensity ofthelight, but only with diminished sensi-
tivity and possible inaccuracy. We do not know the footcandle sensitivity -
for continued vegetative growth of most landscape plants when one uses
HPS lamps as the light source. They do give high footcandle readings
•
r
6
- but ,the red region is considerably lower than that emitted by incande�cent-
filament lamps. The intensity
of, light from HPS lamp's should be increased
at least fourfold to create a lighting system
with photoregulation
similar to a response produced by an -incandescent -filament lamp:
- 9. We are currently.building a massive development where high-
pressure sodium street lamps are going to be used for security purposes.

Dl ant trees 4 inches or larger in caliber (stem diameter),
Will the lamps 40 feet high have an
c
effect on these new trees?
The effects of the lighting will depend on the type, of tree selected
for the areaandon how close the
lamps will be to the trees. For
example, a 400 -watt HPS lamp on a 30 -foot pole emits about l footcandle
of light 20 to 30 feet horizontally on the ground. The light level
increases
as one moves closer to the light source.
'

Sycamores and elms, for example, should be expected to respond to
the lighting during their
,first years by continuing to grow for a'longe�
period in the .fall. -.Other species would exhibit intermediate
or low
growth responses Ko the security lighting.

10.- Would shutting off the light source for a given period of time
each night reduce the effects of the lights?
The response of the trees is based on continuous illumination from`
the time of intense sunlight and continued by the artificial light. The
maximum effectiveness of the light is dependent on the fact that the
light continues uninterrupted throughout the 24 hours. Continuous
'
lighting -permits the minimum intensity of light to exert its effects in
creating a long-day effect on plants. One simple method; to reduce the
effectiveness of the lights in regulating plant growth is to shut off
the lamps -for -2 to 4 hours -during -the early part of the evening.. This
dark period permitstheplants to reset their timing system. From a
security viewpoint, however, darkened areas during the early evening
would defeat the purpose of the lighting -- to permit continued
.,A
- surveillance throughout the night
11. - Could you -indicate certain tree species that might be more
tolerant to high-intensitylighting than others?
Many, types of trees are used to decorate the landscape. They possess
varying sensitivity to high-intensity lighting. - One would expect the
recently planted trees to be particularly responsive to the lighting;
=
older, slower growing trees tendtobecome dormant by midsummer in most _
•te
growing>areas.--Thus, the lighting would exert no` measurable effects on
the plants. In our tests, using pines as an example of a conifer and
- Japanese holly -as an example of -a broadleaf evergreen these plants did
not visibly respond to night lighting from any source when the intensity
'
was l footcandle. Deciduous trees were more responsive to the lighting.
Red maple, for example, was less responsive to the lighting than was
Norway maple (see list following; question,9).
12. Are plants in our tropical regions affected by high-pressure'
+•?,,�
sodium lamps?
Most plant growth in our tropical areas is Tess obviously controlled
by -photoperiod than plant growth ,in the more temperate' climates. The
photoperiod in these -areas -is seldom more than 13 -or -l4 -hours -and is
seldom less than 11>hours.:..Since the effects of the lighting is to
override the natural regulatory system 'of,photoperiod, it would be
expected'that plants in tropical regions would have growth throughout the
year, shifts in the time of flowering or leaf drop, and eventually
plants radically different looking from those growing without the
lighting. The response will depend on the light level, on the ambient '
'•
`temperatures, and on the cultural conditions.
Alternatives
We can expect the continued installation of security lighting through-
out the United States in order -to maintain good visibility. Each of us
AM
can influence this trend by considering the following alternatives:
Selection of lamp type.--rHPS could be used where high visibility on
streets -or freiways is required and where only light -tolerant plants -would
i
be used. Although less efficient than NPS lamps, metal halide lamps
•-r-
would be preferred -in malls, parks, and residential areas where dense
(;
plantingsaremade and where color rendering of plants, people, and
F ''
buildings',is desired. "
c
Shielding. --The least expensive fixtures (luminaires) often emit
light in 180* radiance under the lamp. Covering lenses or shields can
-
sometimes be used to direct the light to the -street and, away ,from the
-plants. More expensive fixtures have additional built-in shielding to-
.aid in controlling light:
:u--
Selection of plants. --Cooperative work of urban planners, landscape
mss
- architects, and horticulturists should be started to 'identify "which
plants are suited to the environment -ofsecuritylighting. Some commonly
used street `trees `such as elm and sycamore may have to be avoided in
future plantings. With the great variety;of plant materialavailable
and often not considered, environmentally adapted plantings can be
planned.
Installation and maintenance programs. --New plantings could be
installed in the fall months of the year to ,permit a full -year; cycle
of growth and adjustment prior to the following summer 'and "fill, whenNOW
the major impact of the lighting is expected to ,occur. To slow growth
during this period and -during subsequent -years, -the frequency of watering
and the level of fertilizers should be reduced. I- Maintenance programs;'
during the first years of growth can greatly help to decrease the
sensitivity of the plants to security lighting, as well as to heat, cold,
drought, air pollution, and salt injury.- However, the majority of plants
brought into urban areas die, because there is no maintenance following
their installation into the landscape.

Shopping Centres
The major Canadian department stores and specialty
-retail chains are represented in Trizec s shopping centres, ��',(t��h+�
across Canada. They are complemented by the leading
independent merchants in the communities which Trizec w
serves. Tenants of Trizec's shopping centres and retail 17 i
olazas in calendar 1974 generated an estimated $580 million
of sales compared to S450 million in 1973. Sales volume of
�[®t
_.
such magnitude is particularly significant as a reflection of
the quality of Trizec's retail tenants and provides some. 1
-
:.measureof theabilityof Trizec's shopping centres to A t
generale additional revenues. Retail rentals for the most
pad are calculated as a percentage of the gross sales of
individual tenants with stated minimum rentals. aa^
In October Trizec opened Trans -Canada Mall in -
Calgary and will have increased the number of shoppin
centres snits portfolio to 20 with the completion of Unictty z
Mall in Winnipeg this year.
Shopping centres during fiscal 1974 accounted for.
20 per cent of Trizec's income producing property assets.
Retirement lodges: - --
Trizec's chain o1 18 retirement lodges and nursing homes,
Central Park Lodges, offers a valuable social service to
providing first class accommodation with. attendant facilities
for the elderly. Trizecs retirement lodges and nursing homes maintain
a consistently high level of occupancy and give an added
degree of diversification to its holdings. Initial market
I R11
-response to Trizec's first retirement lodge in Quebec, now
und er constru ctio n in St. Lambert, has exceeded expectations. ;
_Hotels:
The company has interests in five hotels located in
Vancouver, Regina, Toronto and Quebec City with 2,357
'rooms in all - -- -
Three of these are managed by Hyatt International.# $ •- \'
The Regina Inn is operated by Tnzec and a 50% joint venture r
partner. The Quebec Hilton, which is part of your company's 4
Place Quebec development,. is- managed by the Hilton group
which is also'a joint venture partner: It the Company's pro-
posed agreement with Canadian National, Air Canada and
Hilton becomes effective, the Quebec Hilton would form part
of the proposed new hotel chain. -'
All of the hotels have achieved prominence in their
communities and even in the most recently opened hotels

In the company's planning of multi -use centre -city
projects there is increasing evidenceofsubstantial benefit
to 'their overall economicreturnfrom having a hotel as an
integral part. Three hotels are planned for such complexes --
Residential properties:
Trizec's apartment buildings in I lalitai, Qllawn and
Calgary are consistently fully occupied, making a predict-
'able.anduseful contribution to the company's earnings.
The smallest of the group, 63 -suite Le Marchant Towers,
--was sold after the fiscal year end.

Trizec's policy of expansion in the United States has
- led to the establishment of an important presence in that
market. The company now has close to 20 per cent of its
property assets there., providing a solid operating and
-:-revenue
base for further .expansion.
The greatest growth in Trizec's American assets was
achieved during fiscal 1974 when it acquired office buildings
in Detroit and Los Angeles and purchased Mobile Home
- Communities, Inc. of Denver.:..
The famous Fisher Building in Detroit, one of the -
i_ nation'sarchitectural show pieces, and the adjoining New
Centre Building were acquired early in the year. The
_
i
company already owned the First National Building. The
-. three together give Trizec 1,779,000 sq. ft. of prime office
`
space in the city:
Trizec last year also acquired through its subsidiary,
,
Tristar Western Ltd. a 100 percent interest in five office
- buildings and 40 per cent interest in two other office
-in
buildings.. all located the Los Angeles area.
These seven office buildings, acquired in various stages

and the leasing activity projected at the time of

During 1974 Trizec completed the acquisition of a 99%
interest in Mobile Home Communities, Inc.. one of the leading
companies in the United States in this field. Mobile Home
Communities owns 34 mobile home parks located principally
in the southern United States. They include 11,086 home

an exception-
ally high rate of occupancy.

I purchasod'this site in 1963. Since then, the Irish tract of land was
purchased t�,r the City of Iowa City and added to Hickory Hill Park. This
resulted in he ClosinP of -the loP_ical extension of nloomington St. AFain,

Windsor Drive, n distance of 24o0 feet. The reasoning behind these actions
was river) as a policy decision to keep Hickory Hill a natural wilderness park."
It noir seems apparent., after 12 years of uncertaint;y about streets,
illAcceens, ntc u the{_my 2,3 acre parcel, of land -at_ 1750 Rochester Rd.

STAFF `REPORT
Planning & Zoning Commission
May 8, 1975
SUBJECT: 5-7506. Preliminary -plat of
Bel Air `Addition, Part 6
located -west ofr'First Avenue
and north ofCity ',High School;
date filed: 4/23/75; 45 -day.
- limitation: 6/7/75.
STAFF The subject 22 lot subdivision
ANALYSIS: submitted by City Development
Company contains 8.5 acres.
All -the lots within the
subject addition are over 10,000, square feet 'in area, well in
- excess of the required minimum lot size of 61000 square feet
in the R1B Zone. The subjectaddition is the last'of the Bel,
Air additions located west of First Avenue, :north _of Court
Street, south of Rochester, Avenue, and east of Seventh Avenue
and encompassesone of the few remaining undeveloped parcels
within the neighborhood characterized by high quality homes.
Unfortunately, that which should occur in the last.phase of a
development plan like the placement of the last piece in a
puzzle doesn't because of the lack of"foresight or perhaps poor
basic planning. `Undoubtedly there had been some misconception'
,of the function of-a"collector street as one might observe in
analyzing a'dilemma regarding' the easterly, extension_ of Glendale
Road to intersect with First Avenue.
The subdivider has indicated a reluctance to provide for the
intersection of GlendaleRoad with First Avenue as ;planned since
the -easterly extension of Glendale Road from -Seventh Avenue,
because of -the -inevitable high volume, of vehicular traffic
from origins and destinations beyond the immediate area through=
a tranquil residential area. His concern becomes more apparent`
if one considersthata motorist from Coralville could cross
on the`rIowa-Avenue bridge,turn onto Jefferson Street from Madison
`Street, -.and -travel east to First Avenue`- without negotiating a`. turn
in an approximate two-mile distance. Glendale Road, a`31 -foot
street, would be expected to carry a volume of traffic equivalent `-
to=- arterial :street proportions.
The -main function of a collector street is to filter traffic
from local streets before their capacity is exceeded and then
conduct it -to -arterials. It is not desirable for collectors to
form a-continuous-network,<since 'there -may =then be.a:_tendency
for traffic to use'.-the-�collector--as an arterial, -_thus- violating
;.
one of the basic principles of residential planning -- to keep <
through'; traffic out. It becomes apparent that GlendaleRoad
should have been offset at Seventh Avenue.
To augment the problem, thereisvirtually-no access from Glen-
dales Road to Court Street between;_Se.venth_Avenue.and_First------
Avenue.
irst --Avenue. If Glendale Road was not connected to -First Avenue,
a resident in the subject addition must travel an approximate
1.2 miles -via -Seventh Avenue and _Court Street to _reach the
intersection of Court Street with First Avenue. That which may
be considered an inconvenience to the residents of the Bel
Air Additions, however, does not effectuate their living environ-
ment.
There is no amenable solution short of redirecting traffic from
Jefferson Street to -the arterial streets, Rochester Avenue and
Court Street, at tremendous expense,- but inview of the alter-
natives and their effects, a°majority of the staff members
recommend that Glendale -Road -not intersect with First Avenue.
It should be noted that Lots 15 -through 21 of the subject
------addition are double frontage `lots 'to`the desire of the'sub-
divider --and the staff. --First Avenue is an -arterial street
onto which access should be discouraged to; permit the free
flow of traffic.
It should also be .noted that to the north between the subject
addition and the Montclair apartment complex, there is a
parcel of undeveloped land with`an`approximate depth of -.447
feet and an approximate "frontage along, First Avenue of 212
feet. There are few alternatives to its development for single
family,.use'including: utilization.of the entire parcel for a
single family residence, division of 'the parcel into as many as
three 71 by 447 foot :lots with frontage on ,First Avenue, or
_division of_ -the parcel into four or more lots with access via
a private drive fromFirstAvenue or Heather Circle or from
Heather Circle extended north to the north property line _of
'the subject addition. _Approval of the subdivision as submitted
would -limit-the alternativeslto the first two, neitherofwhich
are unacceptable_ except that very deep lots have been dis-
couraged.
