RE:
Revised
FY
1976
and 1977 HCDA
Block Grant Applications
Attached is financial information which relates to the
amended 1976 and 1977 HCDA Block Grant Budgets. Columns
1 and 2 reflect the FY 1976 and 1977 HCDA budgets as
adopted by the City Council on June 8th. Column 3
represents the total amounts allocated in 1976 and 1977
to various projects. Columns 4 and 5 represent reamended
amounts for fiscal years 1976 and 1977 and which are
proposed to be submitted in the amended applications to
HUD. Column 6 represents the total amounts included,
by project activity, for fiscal years 1976 and 1977.-
It
977.
It should be noted that in all instances the totals appearing
in Column 3 are equal to the totals appearing in Column 6.
'the reason the amounts differ between Columns 1 and 2 and
Columns 4 and 5 is that the HUD Area Office informed the
City that even though fiscal year 1976 will end as of June
30th, the City could continue expending funds from projects
approved during fiscal year 1976. The HUD office also
indicated that at this time they.would prefer that the
City continue with the 176 program as well as starting the
177 program, rather than closing out the FY 1976 HCDA 1
program. Deviations from the individual program year amounts
as adopted by the Council on June 8th occur in the areas of
neighborhood rehabilitation, the architectural barrier removal
program, Urban Renewal Project, and in the contingency area.
As previously indicated, the total amounts anticipated to be
devoted to each of these program areas for the two years,
fiscal 1976 and 1977, are exactly as approved by the City
Council.
The attached resolutions provide for the formal amendment of
both the FY 176 and FY 177 (HUD FY '75 and FY 176) HCDA/CDBG
program budgets.

•r GitELIMINARY PROPOSAL FOR REVIVING
URBAN RENEWAL
FOR MORE THAN A DECADE THE CITIZENS OF IOWA CITY HAVE STRUGGLED WITH AN INCREASINGLY
UNWIELDY AND EVER MORE EXPENSIVE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT.
AT THIS TIME WE ARE AGAIN IN SEARCH OF VIABLE OPTIONS THAT WILL PERMIT A SPEEDY AND
SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION TO THE PROGRAM.
IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE DIFFICULTIES AND PROBLEMS OF THE SINGLE DEVELOPER CONCEPT
HAVE BEEN MADE APPARENT TO ALL.
THE TOTAL COST OF REDEVELOPMENT IS, BY LATEST ESTIMATE, SOME THIRTY TWO MILLION
DOLLARS. THE FORMER DEVELOPER HAD PROPOSED TO ACCOMPLISH ITS PROJECT BY USING ROLL-OVER
FINANCING AND A CAPITAL BASE OF ABOUT 1/60TH THE REQUIRED AMOUNT. IN THE ECONOMIC CLIMATE
CURRENTLY PREVAILING IN THIS COUNTRY IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN YEARS TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.
IT WILL STILL TAKE YEARS EVEN WITH A MULTIPLE DEVELOPER CONCEPT AND WITH MULTIPLE
DEVELOPERS TWO PROBLEMS CAN BE FORSEEN.
FIRST H014 DO WE INSURE DEVELOPMENT CONSISTANT WITH THE OVERALL GUIDELINES OF THE
URBAN RENEWAL PROGRAM? AND SECONDLY IIOW DO WE ASSURE THAT ALL PARCELS OF LAND WILL BE
DEVELOPED?
CONSISTANT DEVELOPMENT IS EASILY OBTAINED. WE CAN Do THAT BY USING THE LEGAL AND TIME
HONORED DEVISE OF PLACING COVENANTS UPON THE LAND. THE CITY HAS TITLE TO THE LAND AND CAN
DETERMINE NOT ONLY HOW AND TO WHOM IT CAN BE SOLD BUT ALSO THE ttANNER OF ITS USE BY THE
BUYER. THEREFORE, A UNIFIED DESIGN CONCEPT CAN BE ENFORCED.
/",,
THE REAL DRAWBACK TO A SINGLE DEVELOPER IS THAT IT GIVES A SELECT GROUP ENORMOUS
ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND POLITICAL POWER.
WHAT MUST BE REMEMBERED IS THAT THIS IS A PUBLIC PROJECT, AND THAT THE OVERALL SUCCESS
OF THE ENTIRE ENDEAVOR IS DEPENDENT UPON PUBLIC APPROVAL. THE CITIZENS OF THE CITY `LUST BE
INVOLVED AND MUST SUPPORT WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN.
BUT STILL, SOMEONE MUST LEAD.
WHAT I PROPOSE THEN IS COMBINING ELEMENTS OF BOTH APPROACHES INTO A PLAN THAT WOULD USE
OR AT LEAST TRY TO USE ALL OF THE AVAILABLE RESOURCES OF THIS COMMUNITY.
IF THE CITY APPOINTS OR AWARDS THE PROJECT TO A SINGLE MASTER DEVELOPER WHO WILL, IN
TURN, USE OTHER DEVELOPERS AND BROKERS TO PRODUCE NEW TENANTS FOR THE DOWNTOWN AREA THEN I
BELIEVE THAT THE URBAN RENEWAL PROJECT CAN BE FINISHED IN A VERY EXPEDITIOUS MANNER, WITHOUT
LOSING THE UNITY OF DESIGN A14D PURPOSE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO CONTE WITH A SINGLE DEVELOPER
CONCEPT.
HOW WOULD THIS CONCEPT WORK?
THE CITY WOULD CONTINUE TO OPERATE THE PUBLIC AGENCY FUNCTIONS OF THE URBAN RENEWAL
PROGRAM ARID THE URBAN RENEWAL STAFF 14OULD BE THE GUARDIANS OF THE UNIFIED CONCEPTS OF DESIGN.
KEEPING IN MIND THAT THESE CONCEPTS MUST BE EXPRESSED IN TERMS OF REALITY; THAT THESE
DESIGNS :HIST BE FLEXIBLE; AND THAT THE PARAMETERS OF SUCH DESIGNS MUST TAKE INTO ACCOUNT
ECONOMIC FEASIBILITY.
THE MASTER DEVELOPER WOULD BECOME, IN EFFECT, THE CITY'S AGENT, MANAGING THE SALE OF THE
URBAN RENEWAL PROPERTY FOR THE BEST PRICE POSSIBLE, AND ASSISTING OTHER DEVELOPERS IN
IMPLIMENTATION OF THEIR PROJECTS BY PROCURING TENANTS FOR THE NEW BUILDINGS. THE MASTER
DEVELOPER WOULD ALSO SERVE AS THE DEVELOPER OF LAST RESORT, UNDERTAKING TO BUT_I.D ON THOSE
PARCELS WHERE OTHER DEVELOPERS DID NOT WISH TO BUILD.
THE HEART OF THE :FATTER IS THE LEASING OF THE PROPOSED PROJECTS. IT IS NOT SUFFICIENT
TO BUILD RETAIL, OFFICE AI4D OTHER COMMERCIAL SPACES. SOMEONE 14UST RENT THEM.
IF THE PROJECTS ARE LEASED BEFORE BEING BUILT THEN IT BECOMES RELATIVELY EASY TO
FINANCE THE CONSTRUCTION AND TO ACCOMPLISH THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT.
IT IS DOUBTFUL IF ANY ONE DEVELOPER COULD RAISE THE EQUITY CAPITAL NEEDED TO SECURE
THE NECESSARY MASSIVE COMMITTMENTS FROM LENDERS: BUT EVERY INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPER HAS ITS
OWN SOURCES OF EQUITY CAPITAL AND LOAN FUNDS. EVERY INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPER WOULD BE REQUIRED
BY THE MASTER DEVELOPER TO PROCURE FINANCING FOR ITS 0I4N PROJECTS. IN ADDITION THE MASTER
DEVELOPER SHOULD DO THE FOLLOWING AS A MEANS OF SECURING THE FUTURE OF IOWA CITY'S URBAN
RENEWAL PROJECT. I) CREATE AND MANAGE A REAL ESTATE INVEST14ENT TRUST WHOSE SHARES WOULD
BE OFFERED TO THE PUBLIC. THIS 14OULD ALLOW ANY CITIZEN TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FINANCIAL
FUTURE OF THE PROJECT. THE TRUST COULD THEN INVEST OR LEND THESE FUNDS TO DEVELOPERS WITHIN
FINANCE THE BALANCE OF THE PROJECT.
THE PROJECT.
2) CREATE A CO'ISORTIUM OF LENDERS TO gAVINGS

MEMORANDUM
To: City Council, Iowa City, Iowa
From: Bob Welsh
Re: Urban Renewal
•
June 16, 1976
In the early 60's a shared dream for this community was developed. The
length of time It has taken to implement this dream, in light of the changes
that have taken place In our socio-economic life, has caused many to ques-
tion whether the dreams of the 60's are in fact the course of action we want
in the mid -70's.
The council will do this community a great service if it says,
Let's now share our hopes and dreams and join hands and
work together.
I believe that discussion of our hopes and dreams will help to heal the
wounds of division within our community and bring us together.
All persons must be helped to realize that they are important. We must be
open to all and to the future.
Let me make five specific recommendations.
I believe that the updating of the objectives can be a valuable process In
bringing the community together and that this can be done in a reasonable
period of time. I was amazed at your first meeting on this issue of the
groups who were suggesting that the plan should not be modified. I am
glad that your staff has pointed out to you that there are amendments that
q..26
•u
are needed due to changing conditions . I suggest, however, that the place
e that
to begin is with some broad and basic concept n objective thatvafft ms
there is now general support in the community for a
that there should be elderly housing in downtown Iowa City . Sharing at a
conceptual level is important as a prior step to amending the plan. Let me
also suggest that a broad plan be developed rather than one that is too
detailed.
z . I recommend utilizin multi le developers and that parcels of land be
marketed on the basis of:
a) price offered
b) type of development projected -relation to objectives
mpletion of development
c) time schedule for beginning and co
d) proof of the necessary finances to carry out the development and
that the city in its land marketing procedure retain design approval.
I am a firm believer in the free enterprise system and see only value in re-
ceiving numerous proposals for the various parcels of land. This would
. ..mo real choice.
Inc ludfn a reasonable time schedule.
that the city begin immediately to take positive steps to interest
I suggesthas been
developers in Iowa City. I trust that all with whom the community
in contact in the past will be personally contacted and that ads alerting
persons to the possibilities ahead in Iowa City will be utilized. If present
staff and citizen volunteers cannot do this, I would suggest that you con-
sider hiring a marketing firm. Let me suggest that there may be some
i
•
advantage in marketing some parcels now and others later.
A
appropriate reconsidered.
Example: street closures, parking policy, etc. The question needs to be
asked: Are these commitments that we wish to make? Are there others?
In addition, now is the time to examine the community -s need for a new
library. This and other community needs should be taken into account in
updating the urban renewal plan and all property owned by the city In and
near the area should be considered and included In this process.
S. r
�. udn renewal bud et.
In 1974 the budget for all it --ems except parking facilities
Many decisions were made was $2'860,000.
however, without relating them to the budget
and thus in 1976 after over a million dollars was spent there were still
projected expenditure items of over three million dollars. What I am sug-
gesting here is that our plans need to be correlated with our financial com-
mitment and resources. We cannot use or give a blank check.
Let me add that I am somewhat surprised by statements at this time that
support a single developer. I was a
supporter of the single developer concept.
However, it became evident with the
passing of time that what we were get-
ting was none of the advantages of the single developer concept, while still
getting all of the disadvantages. The rationale for the single developer con-
cept is the same today as was affirmed in 1973. The only difference is that
now we should all know that they do not hold water. The single developer
concept does not asure that we will know what will be developed in a given
location. It does not even assure us who the developer of a parcel of land
will be. The single developer concept does not even guarantee the devel-
opment of all parcels of land and surely does not guarantee us that construc-
tion will proceed according to a projected time schedule.
In addition, the single developer concept eliminates competitive rent
structure on new developments, which is not to the advantage of the small
business persons or the shoppers. The single developer concept, In prac-
tice, puts too much political and economic power Into the hands of a single
group.
In reality, those who speak at this point in time of a single developer in
practice may be saying, "Let's go with Old Capitol. Let's take whatever
steps we need to to make it legal and go ahead". It is highly unlikely that
if the city chooses to go with the single developer concept that it mould get
numerous proposals. Single developers want broad local citizen support and
realize that they need such If their proposal is to have a reasonable chance
of being accepted. If one group already has a corner on the market, it tends
to discourage others.
The choice before the council may not be between the single developer
concept and that of multiple developers but whether or not the council
wants to open up the process. I, personally, am for opening the process.
I believe that multiple developers will more rapidly develop downtown at
this stage in history and that the city will receive larger land payments.

I am for allowing persons and businesses to bid on any of the 15 parcels
of land. I am not, however, for dividing a parcel like block 84 into lots
at this time, although if we do not attract a major department store, this
should be considered.
One other word in closing. In addition to making these five recommenda-
tions to you, I have also come tonight to indicate to you my willingness to
Invest a great amount of time in helping. When I was chairman of the Hous-
ing Commission, we developed, In a short time, public workshops to con -
skier alternatives and successfully involved the total community in setting
the direction for public housing in Iowa City. I would be willing, if you
desire, to work with you or designated members of the staff, to develop
ways of bringing the community's ideas together on this issue. I would
also be willing to assist by contacting potential developers and in making
available to you the Information secured.
In brief, I came tonight not Just to recommend to you a course of action,
but to Indicate to you that I am willing and ready, if you desire, to help
In some specific ways and to indicate my willingness to help in all other
ways requested.
I am interested in urban renewal and I am willing to spend time and energy
to make it a reality.

CJ t;: h:an:,r,•r \ciL "erlin and oth r
+ c interested ncr•sor._,
atF:er than take lip a large amount of
your time at the l7ednesuay :,i: ,,
PI-blic Eoari::;; and end up boring rind confusing you in the proses-, of trying
to explain my large set of 0Omevrhat detriled suggestions on the future of
lo -aa City urban renewal, I have chosen to set these ieeas on parer tf:at ycu
may rend, reread if neces::ary, and analyse them
at your convenience.
Ky primary- objections to the Old Capitol Assoc. urban renevral plans -
have been in the area of land use. It has seemed to Me, even increasingly
so in the last two years, that the right establishments :vere in the wrong
place and that certain other establishments would not make the best possible
use of their cesignated locations.
The primary emphasis in my su;-gestions for future downtown U.Ft. land
development will be in terms of two major categories: 1. what necessary
establishments are currently +'lookin „
g for a place to happen, i.e., neea to
be either relocated or located, period; and 2. what
places (locations, sites)
see.: to cry out for Particular appropriate uses?
Category 1:
1. Housing, primarily of the apartment variety, for elderly, students,
handicapped persons, lOw-income, "regular" to-wnO e0 le -
P P - in short, for al!
_:rods of people in need of housing: Under the Old Cap. plan there was some
housing for the elderly but virtually none for those who would benefit most
From central arca housing, students. Crossing momentarily into my category
the block bouuued by Burlington, Capitol, Court and !•ladison (block 9-,)
-ceras ideal for usage as hi{,'h den -sit housing, 1njr, a high rise apartment complex.
-ersonally, I like to visualize this development as a quadrangle (open square)
or horseshoe shape model cornplete with greenies and Nrowies and
(eventually
1. not i:r.mediately)a good-sized pool in the center (more private,
:fielded) area. That's my dream for that block and, all things considered,
a fairly practical idea in combining a needed accomodation (housinE) with
-•. excellently aF,pro;;riatc place for it to happon. Other reasonable
1:. -Ices for hoc:.inp; for various peo,,le of similar peso would be portions of
c 2 blocks East of that, South of Burlin,+tor; L'i. (1O1 _
and "St .Patrick_'^

❑:if-irt r.•:11 bar advantagcouz� for the downto•rm area. I personally would like
to Goo it conjoined with the Bus Depot much as envisioned by Old -Cap.
but i would reiterate that the location of the Bus Dept, and thus
of the ::otVl, :should be in block 84 where guests and tourists can take the
best advanta;;c of one of the nicest views in Eastern Iowa, the Pentacrest
::ith its sell -restored Old Capitol building as focal point.
Thi:: is the pe:'f0ct lead-in to category 2, in which I maintain that to
:nak0 the wisest use of the land on a long-term basis, certair.
places (parcels
of land) should have designated uses based on outstanding convenience, aesthe-
tic, and financial considerations (financial should be last as it generally
is in the eternal scheme of thin; s).
i. The formerly stated Point 1 of category 1 concerning housing :its just
as :.-ell here, particularly with respect to the block opposite the Lundquist
center (block 93). That area could so advantageously be designated for high
rise housing :%,ithout being excessively obtrusive --
as I noted, a quadrangle
or horseshoe design with good landscaping would make quite excellent land use.
2. You may not think I':r serious on this point (even if you did on the others),
but I arr -- I'm deadly serious. Think about this! On the corner of 'Sashington
and Capitol Sts., shat is the one most valuable (because unique) asset? I
could sub:::it that the vice+ is that corner's most valuable asset,ew of
the vi
the :cntacrc,;t's Kighlight (literally so at night), the Old Capitol building,
rticularly at dusk and or into the night.(suppertim
e and beyond). It's
even a rather charn,.ing daytime vi.c•r+, actually, but more splendid by niCht.
iso -a :Hake bust use of this view': Obviously a retail store or office building
has no essential nceu .'or a snlenriia view. !':hat does? A. really

5. In terms of the Staff Analysis of the Urban Renevral Flan, I obviously
have differences with "assumptions" c and c, believing that the best
acs-hetic and functional location of a hotel, if it is to be built, :•;ould
be in block 84 along-, ;;ith its functional companions the restaurant, bus
De;.ot, and public re_:troom facilities;. As long as the_ 4 establishrr,ents
arc located in ti -.e is - W3 arca of block 84 the rest of the area may indeed
be tably "intensively developec a: a Q orneahat-) unified retail development."
o. If a single cevelocser r;ouid agree to ail or most of the uses I've peci-
fi„d i -n points u6ove I souid be an extremely strong surporter of that devel-
op:r. I ::cold �juess, hp: -;ever, that multiple developers specializing in
these different types of requisites (high-rise housing, public acccr:.eeations,
rcr:.il development) mi;;ht be able to complete development more expeditiously
an,: r;ith more expertise in the over-all long term best interests of iov:a City.
Xar;:etinF full-h'_ocks v,ith specified uses seems to me the best v:ay to go on
blocks 83 and 93. 1/4 - 1/2 block specified -use marketing seems aptropriate
for almost every:. -here else, though it v:ould be particularly ethical to set
aside some 1/2 - 1/4 block to be available in small parcels.
