ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSED FEDERAL -AID HIGHWAY ACT OF 1975
TheFord Administration has proposed major revisions in the federal highway program
in leIgislatton It submitted to Congress on July 7. The bill"is expected to generate a
great deal of controversy in Congress and among highway interests which prefer an exten-
sion of the existing program.
BACKGROUND
The Highway Trust Fund, which was created by the Federal -Aid Highway Act of ]956, -is
scheduled to expire on October 1,= 1977. The Trust Fund receives the revenues from the
four cent federal gasoline tax, the diesel -fuel tax, and a variety of other user -taxes.
These revenues are used to fund the more than thirty federal categorical grant highway
programs:The authorizations for these programs; which were most recently revised
in the 1973 Highway; Act, will expire on June. 30,:19.76..-
THE ADMINISTRATION BILL (H. R. 8430)
Key Provisions: "Ihc Administration's proposed four-year program (fiscal years 1977
through 1980) has_three key elements: (1) increased. emphasis on completion, of the Inter-
state Highway System; (2) a restructuring of the Highway -Trust Fund with its use limited
to financing the Interstate System; and (3);a.consolidation of the other_ categorical programs

Interstate Ilighway_System
Under the President's plan, federal attention will focus on the completion, improvement,
and rehabilitation of the 42,500 -mile interstate System, which is 85 percent complete.
The bill would revise the way interstate authorizations are apportioned among the states
to place highest priority on expediting the completion of routes of national significance
and essential to the connectivity__of.the System. A lower priority would be placed on routes
of primarily local benefit.' The result would be that states which have few routes of
national significance remaining to; be completed would have _their annual Interstate appor-

STAFF REPORT
• Planning and Zoning Commission
July 24, 1975
--SUBJU71': S-7511._ Preliminary plat of Streb
South, Industrial Park -located>cast
of South Riverside Drive, west of
the Iowa River, and south of the
CRI$P Railroad; date filed: 7/10/75 45 -day limitation: 8/24/75. -
STAFF The -subject 13.83 -acre subdivision
ANALYSIS: submitted by -Mr.- Alvin FC-Streb
consists of,2l.lots all located in
the M1 Industrial Zone. As had
been previously stated by Mr. Streb in his application to rezone the property
to an Ml Zone; his intentions are to selloff lots for the development of
light -industrial operations, and wholesale and warehousing facilities.
An industrial subdivision must be well designed for the successful development
of an industrial park.Among the principal layout considerations' -include'.
(1) flexibility--- so that warehousing as well as manufacturing establishments
can be attracted, (2) block -patterns designed to conserve -land and permit
the best_possible arrangement of facilities, and (3) streets designed to
facilitate truck traffic and lessen congestion.
If there is a single cardinal rule for industrial development, it is to
provide, as much flexibility as possible in the layout • plan, usually -achieved
through planning". Block planning, as opposed to lot platting,
offers a variety of -predetermined site sizes, but side lot lines within
the block are established later to meet thepurchaser's'exact requirements
for existing needs plus a margin for expansion.
Of course, for any development -in which a piece of land is to be sold or
leased, "a_subdivision platindicatinglot boundaries must besubmittedand
approved. :.Herein lies thebasicproblem-differentiated-from a -.residential -
subdivision with uniform lot sizes ---an 'industrial developer cannot safely
establish lot sizes until customers have set a pattern that he can adopt
for the remainder of_his _tract. However, nothing would prohibit a
developer from selling off two or more subdivided lots to meet the purchaser's
needs. ,By observation of the subject plat, it appears rather -obvious this
is the applicant's intent since the average ,lot size is approximately a
half acre. Consequently, the applicant has provided flexibility for.develop-
ment.
Consideration must be given to traffic circulation, access to individual
lots, width of -rights-of-way and pavements, load bearing capacity, grades,
corner radii at intersections and turns, etc. As a practical manner,
streets should not be used_,for parking and loading. _The -Subdivision Code
=does not 'contain standards which are specifically intended for industrial
streets.,, The -paved surface of a local' -street -or cul de sac is required to
-- - —
be 28 feet in width back to k-
bacof curb to-permit'on=street parking and
•
'- -2
seven inches in _thickness. In the case of a subdivision which includes
� •
cul de sac or loop streets less than 900 feet in length, the -required
pavement 'widthffor:such streets may be reduced to,22 feet if
-
provision is made for storage of at least sixautomobiles on each lot
(absurd):
-According to the adopted "Design Standards for Public Work Improvements",
'however, reference is -made -to a lanewidthof 12 feet, a 66 -foot right-
-of -way -width, a paving thickness of,eight inches, and corner radii at
intersections of 25 feet for industrial streets. The contemplated street
improvements within the subject addition do meet these standards and a
plus should be given for the provision of a' larger ,radius ;on the turn -a -
rounds -than -the minimum 50 foot radius required. If the developer were so_
inclined, it would be:the staff's recommendation to permit a 25 -foot width
paved surface for the streets within the subdivision subject to the pro-,
-`hibition of any on -street parking. : s`
The Planning and Engineering Divisions have reviewed the subject addition `
and find it meets with: the, requirements of the Subdivision Code with the
exception of the following: -
1. All existing easements and utilities, water mains, sewers, drain pipes,
culverts -and buildings should be shown on the plat.
2. The radii at street -intersections should be indicated. '
•
3. The ,centerline radius for the two curves along Commercial Drive should
_
be noted.
4. Reference to the elevation above mean sea level should be indicated.
`5. The section corner: and point of beginning of the boundary of the tract
should be illustrated. - -_
6. All proposed' utilities including gas lines and easements should be
shown. _
-7. Sidewalks, as illustrated in the street cross section, should be elevated
1/3rd-inch-for every foot of the distance from the curb and the slope
of the sidewalk indicated as 1/4 inch for each foot of width.
8. The crown of the street in the, street intersection should be labeled as
a parabolic crown.,
9. A headwall should be shown for the stone sewer which outlets into the
Iowa River.
10. A signature block for subsequent certification of the plat's approval
shouldbeincluded.

FROM: Lyle G. Seydel, Housing Coordinator J<-�
RE: Project IA 22-2
Recent conversations with representatives of Old Capitol
--Associates and the `Department `iof Housing and Urban
Development clearly indicate that some action is required
by the 'city if the elderly housing project is to be,
constructed. The_project'in its present configuration
(62 units subsidized through' Section-23 Housing Assistance
Payments (HAP) and 38 private rentals)--is-not now feasible
within the financial constraints that exist. Simply stated,
the rental income will not supporta loan or bond-issue
sufficient to cover-the-difference between -the =$650,000
equity from old Capitol-and-projected development costs-..
Present total development costs which-include-land.-
construction,
nclude land,construction, financing,'; marketing and general administrative
costs are estimated at $3;025,417.
The minimum action required by the city is to _concur with
the request`from-Old'Capitol' Associates-to convert the
project from Section 23 to Section 8 and 'pass a resolution
directing that a request be forwarded to HUD to effect
the conversion. This action will have no.effect :_on the
responsibility of the city and will have no effect or
direct cost to the city. It will enhance the program and
bring it closer to reality.
This action alone will not solve the problem. The-38-
private
he 38private rentals cause-problems-in-financing the project.
Therefore, it is suggested that Old Capitol drop the
-
38 units -from the proposal-and-move°towards-`construction
of the remaining 62 units:
As a follow on action Old-Capitol may respond to the
invitation for preliminary proposals for new construction
and submit a proposal' for 38 additional units'to-be-included-
in-the
ncluded
in the building. This `action need not have; city approval
-but as a matter ofprinciple it recommended that the
city support `such 'a proposal.` If Old Capitol is successful
in getting the 38 units it will,,. provide a 100 unit project
in the _downtown area, all under the umbrella of Section-8.
