BY AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2709 (CHAPTER 9.02 OF THE MUNICIPAL CODE'
OF THE CITY OF'`IOWA `CITY, IOWA) (SECOND READING).
Comment:
The building code requries fire detectors and the electrical code
requires "G.F.I."-type circuit breakers on some circuits in single
family dwellings (SFD). These are not normally installed until the
finish and :trim work 'is"almost complete. Because contractors do
not always call for =a final inspectionm before people move into
SFD's there is some question _if' the "detectors and G.F.I.'s are
getting installed in -all new homes.
Including S.F.D.'s in the list of buildings- requiring Occupancy
Permits will make it possible to get finals on all S.F.D.'s
before they are occupied.

Dear hen: - -
On behalf of Iowa City's Project GREEN, I should like to urge
appro,raL of tile zoning variance proposed for tlia house at 715 East
College Street, now owned by Mr. James Dixon.
At stake in the forthcoming Board of AdjusGienc hearing is the
preser at ion of the distinctive character. of one of Iowa City's finest
nineteenth-century residences,_ the Musser douse and adjoining coach
Thu two structures--until the latter's partial destruction
House
br`fLre--have been scrupulously maintained in the integrity of their
-'o[i;inal exteriors,-presenting a-harmonious architectural unity-repre-.
senta e of that "gracious -era. -Destruction of the coach house, to
comply with the zoning laws and its repl.acemenc with an historically
income:,'ible modern structure would further diminish Iowa-city's
nineteenth-century arciiLtecturat heritage.
rnpidly-vanishing
inerefore, Project GREEN warmly endorses any prnpos.l by -which
- -
;•,;. ;Ji:co❑ may be allowed to restore the coach house to its original
appearance. ETzrency-measures-such as-zoning variances are far from
the ideal solu.tiou, of course. -The long.-run solution lies in :the
recliuGlendation made by the Iowa City Planning and Zoning Commission
- to` he City Council on Se.rlember'2o,:1914; which-urged -"that a program
be to. define and "identify ,bui ldings_and neighborhoods of
established
-historic or. architectural significance, and that provisions he_incor-
into the city code to protect aid preserve these sites once
i,orated

Subsequent to our discussions. with Dick Duncan and Dick'Feddersen on the
acquisition of the Me Too Building with HCDA funds, 'I would recommend
that the following steps be taken:
1. That an architectural -engineering firm be hired for the purpose
of_determining_what steps have to betaken in_order to flood -
proof the building in a manner acceptable. to the Iowa Natural
Resources Council and to: make a determimtion-as to the physical
condition of the building and what will have to be done in order
to make thebuildingboth-structurallysound and usable. This
architectural -engineering firm should also be prepared to give`
us some' approximate costs for the proposed improvements.
2. Once this information has; been received,_it will then be necessary
to have the building appraised. In that the proposed improvements
will ;probably be of a fairly' significant;magnitude, they will tend
to diminish the ,value of<the?building. The appraiser` should
definitely take these improvements into consideration at such
time as the appraisal -is being:conducted.
3. Once we have the benefit of the appraisal information, I would.
suggest that -we -then begin negotiations: with Mr. Feddersen or his
agent, Mr. Duncan, as to the purchase of.the building.
4 We have presently done some initial work on the required federal
environmental assessment of the project.` The information we
receive from the architect -engineer should also be of some help
to us in the completion of this environmental assessment. We
cannot actually purchase the building until such time as we
have received approval from HUD '"after we submit the information
on the environmental assessment.
I would assume -that we are probably -talking ,about a period, o£ two weeks
to a month for completion of steps one and two above. I have no way
of determining how much time it is going to_require to negotiate with
the owner of the structure for the purchase of the building and Ir also
am not aware of
how long it will take HUD to complete the work, on the
approval of -the environmental assessment, however,:I would assume that
weareprobably talking about a two to three-month period for steps
three and four.
If you have any questions on this, please contact me.
