Report from City Clerk that the establishment "That Deli" at 620 South Dubuque has provided the necessary infor- mation and they do meet the 508 gross sales requirement. No action by the Council is needed. Iowa City's policy for adding Sunday Beer sales permits for new establish- ments is to request, after a 90 -day period, a state- ment which supports their application statement that the sale of goods and services other than beer or alco- holic liquor does constitute 508 or more of the gross receipts from the licensed premises. The motion was approved by the following roll call vote: Ayes: Balmer, deProsse, Foster, Neuhauser, Perret, Selzer, Vevera. Nays: none. Councilwoman deProsse commented on the success of the news- paper recycling program. Mr. Berlin indicated Dick Plastino, Director of Public Works, would be submitting a memo concerning this program in the near future.

Mr. Hayek stated the Council or. Planning s Zoning Commission not only had the authority, but also had the responsibility to review sub- division plats within two miles outside the City limits as per Section 409.14 of the Code of Iowa. He further stated the City of Iowa City would have a particular interest in this area as to how the subdivisions are developed and what kind of streets and facilities are provided, since the Coralville Annexation Agreement allocated this land to Iowa City for future annexation. A motion was made by Vevera and seconded by Foster to direct the City Manager to reply to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors indicating that the Citv does have and insists it has the right to review the subdivision plat for the development of Lakeview Knoll, 3rd Addition. Motion passed, unanimously. (4) Mr. Hayek reported to Council the City had received partial judgment today for the motions filed for summary judgment in the Amerex case. This will relieve the City from paying $916,930 for claimed dam- ages on rezoning but would not alleviate them from the $93,000 judgment for the alleged delay in implementing the Court order following declaratory judgment action. Mr. Berlin clarified the June 3, 1976, Planning and Zoning Commission minutes and indicated Planning and Zoning decided not to pursue the matter of initiating a moratorium on the northern sector of R3 Study Area, after it was determined the City would have to hire an attorney outside of Iowa City to obtain a legal opinion. Several disturbed residents on Kirkwood Avenue had called Mayor Neuhauser stating they were told the reason the telephone company was laying the cable so far from the street was that the City had immediate plans to widen the street. No one knew where the telephone company obtained this information; however, it was probably done in anticipation that the street might be widened some time in the future. The Staff was directed to make sure Northwestern Bell understood the situation. The public hearing was held on the FY 77 Slabjacking Program. Vevera mentioned the need for repair of Friendship Street. After further discussion, the public hearing was declared closed. Balmer motioned and Vevera seconded to adopt Resolution No. 76-189, as recorded in Res. Book 35, page 231, approving Pro- posed Plans, Specifications, Form of Contract and Estimated Cost for the FY 77 Slabjacking Program, and Directing Publication of Notice to Bidders.

Council considered a resolution authorizing the removal of parking from the East and West side of Dubuque from the intersection of College and Dubuque to a point 150 feet North, and removal of parking from the North and South sides of College Street, from the intersection of College and Dubuque to a point 150 feet West, and removal of parking meter stalls in this area. There was discussion of closure of streets on July 1, vacated by Ordinance to conform with the contract with the Urban Renewal Plan. Several Councilmembers felt the use of the downtown streets should be reviewed in more detail before reaching a decision as to what streets should be closed. Robert Welsh appeared and suggested several alternatives relating to safety factors in closing some of the downtown streets, one point he revealed was that policy would have to be established concerning emergency vehicles, taxicabs, and vehicles making deliveries on the closed streets. Balmer sug- gested that City staff study traffic flow and patterns, analyze the impact of street closures, and prepare a recommendation to Council. A motion was made by Perret and seconded by deProsse to defer action on the resolution for closure of certain streets. Motion passed unanimously. It was moved by Balmer and seconded by Perret to adopt Reso- lution No. 76-195, as recorded in Res.

Councilmembers present were: Foster, deProsse, Selzer, Balmer, Vevera, Selzer, Perret, Neuhauser (2:00 P.M.)- Staffinembers Glaves, Eggers, Kraft.

Ci expand out into the County, but he did not think the Director and the Board had demonstrated capability of doing this. The problems countywide, the six-month proba- tion, the relationship with other agencies, and the qualifi- cations for the counselors were items discussed. Additional information concerning funding from United Way was requested. The City Manager noted that the contract should be made con- tingent on the fact that they will not expand their role. Councilman Balmer asked for the City Manager's recommenda- tion on Item r10, the coo Universityg ve a regiment with Coralville, tenants hts and Johnson County Board of Supervisors concerning tenants eligible for hh using a ;tet__ Manager Berlin stated that the Staff could e.

Mayor Neuhauser explained the connection with the rehabilitation program, Councilmen Vevera and Balmer agreed that the City is imposing on citizen's rights and noted they would not let inspectors in their private homes.The City Manager stated that previous Councils have beat the Staff over the head to get this housing inspection program going; it is not something started overnight. It was suggested that the Housing Coordinator, Lyle Seydel,come and explain why the City got into the program. The inspectors have already been hired. The City Manager outlined the procedure now used, noting that after inspection of the home, a letter goes to the residents explaining the deficiencies, if any, asking if the resident needs any additional assistnace, then the matter is dropped. So there are two results, (1) the person will be aware of the deficiency and (2) the City is aware, and when the rehabilitation program is developed, there will be a way to correct the deficiencies. Councilwoman deProsse asked if the parking permit fee in all parking lots was $10. The City Manager responded that it was, and explained the reason for the discount for city employees. When the lot was established, parking for employees was free. A compromise by a previous Council set it at $5.00. As it is not a part of the personnel rules or the labor contract, deProsse and Neuhauser suggested that it be a negotiated item. Selzer agreed. Councilwoman deProsse questioned taking 40% of the library lot for employees. The City Manager said he would check the Proposed usage. Council decided to look at the whole policy for parking lots, and the City Manager commented that thb finance department was working on:a revision of the parking policy, which has to be done in conjunction with urban renewal because of the discussion on peripheral parking. City Manager Berlin pointed out two items concerning the agenda: (1) the revised Storm water Management Ordinance is be- ing changed by the legal department, and will be distributed later, and (2) there is a change in the contract with the rehab consult- ant to add the Equal Opportunity. Councilman Selzer questioned how the amount of material was determined for the slab -jacking Program. The City Manager agreed that it was bid on a per unit basis. Councilman Vevera stated that concerning establishment of calendar parking in 400 Block of E. Fairchild. the recommenda- tion to PSZ to require two stalls of off-street parking for the new multi -unit apartments, would probably be all right, but as most of the cars that cause the parking problem belong to students 0 0 Page 3 Council Discussion July 12, 1976 in the dorms, he resented the fact that the University was allowed to build a new building to house 100 people but did not provide one parking space, but a private individual would' have to furnish parking stalls. Councilwoman deProsse agreed the City should force the University to accommodate parking. The City Manager agreed, and noted that if the University is not in a position to provide long term parking, it may be necessary for the City to deal in a rather striking way with a change in policy for long-term parking, because if the City waits for the University, it would be 20 years from now. He agreed with Public Works, you can't deal with this problem independently; it has to be incorporated in the whole question of the parking policy. Councilwoman deProsse commented on the memo from Glaves concerning the proposed building in the urban renewal area, and asked if the Council had any legal authority to stop or enforce esthetic considerations. Councilman Selzer asked to see the plat. The City Manager pointed out that there was no basis on which to withhold the building permit. Councilwoman deProsse asked that Council's extreme disappointment be expressed to the developer. Community Development Director Kraft advised that the excavating had begun. It was suggested that the prop- erty be condemned and included in the urban renewal project. Councilman Balmer suggested clarifying the Policy for Sunday Salee beer and liquor permits. After discussion, the consensus of the Council was to allow Sunday Sales Beer and Liquor permits for businesses with previous acceptable track records, and to allow the new applications for restaurants, but if the new business is a bar and will not serve meal's from a menu, the applicant will have to prove, after a 90 -day period, that the sale of goods and services other than alcoholic liquor or beer does constitute fifty percent or more -of the gross re- ceipts from the licensed premises. Concerning the installation of the traffic signal at Mel- rose/woolf, Councilman Balmer asked if the University could require the City to widen the street. He was advised that they could not. A left turn was suggested. Councilman Perret called attention to the problems with the left turning signal lights on Burlington Street and with the synchronization o se signals. T e City Manager pointed out that the segments had been synchronized and the walk signal segment had been increased last week. He stated that the Public Works Dept. would write a memo on the changes. Councilman Perret questioned whose responsibility it was to clear cleayo_rts from the Iowyer, specifically under the Crandic Bridge. The City Manager stated he would investi.gat�_ 0 0 Page 4 Council Discussion July 12, 1976 URBAN RENEWAL City Manaaerr Berlin gave a rundown on what has happened since the last Council meeting. 1. The Urban Renewal Plan has been revised and distributed, incorporating Council's changes. 2. Concerning the land marketing material sent in June, the parking report has been distributed. The parking locations, peripheral parking and phasing of construc- tion becomes critical as Council makes marketing deci- sions, and staff moves into preparation of marketing documents. 3. The program for the library was presented Friday; site detail by next Friday. cJdekly 4. Correspondence to HUD concerning senior citizen hous- inj sent by the Mayor. A letter was received back saying that HUD had recaptured the 62 units. There is still a major question concerning the economic feasibility of housing; there are three possibilities including non-profit corporation, land write-down, and public housing. 5. Housing generally. There is no reason to believe that it is not feasible privately; and could be pushed up on our target date and expedited as soon as possible; a marketing consultant would be used to develop the housing program. 6. Staff has given thought to the additional staffing for the urban renewal program,, after Council makes the marketing decisions. There will be three phases= (1) coordination of the planning, in-house, (2) general administrative matters and, (3) marketing, with con- sultant. Additional staff includes a coordinator, a 1/2 person in administrative work, and taking 1/2 of the time of one legal person. 7. Concerning streets, the final decision is related to marketing decisions the Council will make. They are investigating the question of closing of the two blocks of College Street between Clinton & Linn; Washington Street between Clinton and Madison, with emphasis on transit and pedestrian traffic in that area; possi- bility that Clinton and Dubuque being integrated as the one-way system with the Market -Jefferson pair, with Clinton & Dubuque having some type of develop - meet COIL S,'..S tOTk 7--.7-4th the kindkindUf deyeiip,�Went u«sa�.t took place on Washington St. Page 5 0 • Council Discussion July 12, 1976 8, The Iowa State Drive In and Per did not see any reasonwhy pe— t_=a1_Bankk Staff expedited, if the that matter shouldn't be ' they would Council can reach a decision on how been asked for. to handle it.

Councilwoman deProsse sug- gested phasing the marketing. Councilman Balmer commented that the City will never get the tax base if the property is marketed in parcels, and that the people downtown are waiting for Council to make a decision. Mayor Neuhauser commented that the problems of utilities, public improvements, closing of streets, changes of traffic have to be dealt with before the Property is marketed so the people will know what they are buying. Spee�gli it Redevelopment G8044 -i- . Glaves pointed out that the staff had left in the revised plan all the street closings, and if Council wanted to remove them all, it could be done. The Mayor stated that the Council must grapple with the problem right now. Councilwoman deProsse commented that this should be based on traffic circulation studies as recommended by our Public works Dept. Councilman Perret favored at least two developers on the north side of Burlington, 83 and 84 a single parcel, and 64 and 65 either separately or together. Councilman Vevera saw Blocks 83-84 and 65 as one parcel and 1/2 of Block 64 as one parcel, but did not want the library on urban renewal land, as it would not add to the consider south ofxBurlington athe parcels ves asked f93hand Council 101to�Jbetmarket- ed separately, and if they do, what to do with the street. The consensus was to consider Block 93 and the west 1/2 of Block 101 and the street as one parcel. It was pointed out that the library would use at least 1/2 block and the parking for 600 cars would use 1/4 block. Council- man Selzer agreed he did not want to consider the Libre_ry on urban renewal property and suggested Block 63, south of the alley. Councilman Perret favored the library in downtown commercial area along with housing the open space. The City Manager stated that the City would have to buy the property -- Block 63. Use of street to build on was discussed, and use for the old Library. Selzer envisioned the library on Block 63, parking on Block 64 with skyway between. Glaves questioned what use the Council con- templated for the NE 1/4 of Block 64. It was stated that it could be parking area for that portion of the commercial area. Councilman Selzer concurred with Councilman Balmer to put out a single package north of Burlington, allowing the developer to use skill and expertise to give the City options and the best plan he can, the City outlining the elements they want involved in the program and phasing the redevelopment. Councilman Balmer asked at what point a new Environmental Impact Statement and the Lard Use Marketing Study would have to be done. Glaves advised th-at he was not concerned south of Burlington because when the assAssme;:t and review are done, the point to watch out for is Page 7 Council Discussion July 12, 1976 traffic flow and where concentration of emissions are going to be. Selzer suggested not modifying the EIS that has already been Court -tested, and noted that he was bothered because Plaza Centre One design was based upon the intersection being pedes- trian oriented and the focal point. The City Manager asked if there was a consensus to market Blocks 83 and 84 jointly. Councilman Foster was not in favor, Councilwoman deProsse did not want one developer for prime land, Councilman Perret was in favor. Glaves pointed out that concerning the reappraisals, the Staff has to know: (1) single developer or otherwise, and (2) library east or west of Linn St. It was suggested that the consultant advise the Council. Glaves explained the type of persons being interviewed for consultant. The time -frame was suggested as September for an- swers from consultant, discussion by Council and January for the reappraisals. Councilman Vevera pointed out that the Council was no closer together and there was no consensus for staff direction. The City Manager agreed that the Council had lost ground today. He was concerned because he sensed that the Council was broadening the scope for the consultant. He asked for direc- tion concerning the land south of Burlington Street. Council agreed to sell as soon as possible. Glaves advised he would put out competitive bids noting that the appraisals have been started. Council discussed their obligation to Iowa State Bank & Trust concerning relocation. It was pointed out that the tenants in the Clinton Mall will still have to be relocated. It was the consensus of the Council that land marketing documents be put together, and a pre-bid conference held so all will understand. City Manager Berlin stated that there was no way to close Clinton Street, and Councilwoman deProsse and Councilman Vevera agreed. Previous Council considerations concerning the single developer concept were discussed. The City Manager summarized his direction as to proceed with the bank, extend time -frame for consultant as the scope had been broadened, and to proceed with housing. Meeting adjourned, 4:30 P.M.
