FROM: City Manage P RE: Construction - Blocks 83 and 84 1) The City and Old Capitol Associates have encountered considerable' difficulty. in preparing plans for the construction of the parking ramp and the enclosed shopping mall to be located on Blocks 83 and t84. This difficulty arises,because,ofthe unique characteristics . of an enclosed shopping center abutting a multi -story -.parking ramp located in,a central business district'. vi .M The codes and ordinances currently in effectin Iowa City do not _.., adequately recognize some of the unique aspects ofthis project. J 'j The application of these codes and ordinances, make.. the development of Blocks 83 and 84 as envisioned, extremely difficult at best, and literally impossible at worst. The problems are. not merely j I matters ofconvenience 'oradded cost, but are matters of real' economic feasibility. 2) The staff has prepared two ordinance `amendments which are necessary to eliminate the most serious of these problems. The amendments are: '1) an amendment to the Uniform Building Code, and 2) an.', amendment to th'e Fire Protection Ordinance.' An explanation of .these amendments is included below. °A publichearing',will be held on the amendment to the Building Code at the Council meeting of 'j September 26. Consideration. of both ordinances will be scheduled i. for. the Council meetings of.October 3, 10, and 17. 3) Fire Protection Ordinance: At the present time the Fire Protection, - Ordinance,specifiesfire zones by cross reference to the specific t zones in the Zoning Ordinance. Fire Zone.I is identical to the CB �. Y t Zone. This .is.the 'most r estrictive fire zone, intended to. restrict construction methods and materials in tile., most dense commercial }},, 7 core.' The key feature of these restrictions is the prevention of 4 ;. the spread of, a. fire to, adjacent, abutting buildings.. l Because theenclosed sho pilin center to be constructed on Blocks 8 g 3 f and 84 is unique in that it essentially occupies entire blocks, } i rather than 'sharing those blocks withh other buildings, tile applica- tion of Fire Lone l Co Blocks 83 and 84 is not appropriate. The amendment to the Fire Protection places Blocks 83 and 84 .Ordinance i.nFire .Zone 2instead of Fire Zone 1,. 14) Uniform Building Code: The Uniform Building Code limits the gross floor area of structures according to occupancy and biui.lding type. , /76 y MICROFILMED BY I ".

I. 'staff s conclusions usions in'this regard. _ Fortheenclosed shopping mall to meet the other criteria, it would be necessary to leave..a 60 foot wide corridor between the shopping center and the parking ramp, even though the shopping center will be fully sprinklered, OR, to consider the shopping center and parking ramp as a single building which '.would require.that the parking ramp': be: fully;sprinklered. Neither leaving a 60 foot separation nor sprinklering the parking ramp is an acceptable solution. A'60 foot separation between the structures would waste valuable core area land, and would;functionallydamage the quality of the downtown redevelopment. Installing sprinklers in the parking ramp would cost between $200,000 and $250,000".and would, in al.l', likelihood, not significantly add to the ability to extinguish ,j fires in the parking ramp. The State Fire Marshal,andthe Fire Chief agree with this conclusion. 1 This conclusion is. additionally supported by two separate studies 'I regarding fires in parking ramps obtained by the Parking Superinten- dent in researching the matter. The parking rampdesigners are not , j aware of any aboveground, sprinkled parking structures, ,and ICBO I officials in Kansas City could not identify any aboveground, open, 1 parking structures which are equipped with sprinklers. ! 1 has prepared an amendment; Co the Uniform e staff P Ther efore the P .. i Building Code which eliminates this. problem byall.owing a covered n s surrounded u building � the mall to be bui.ltwith_ "unlimited" area 8 '- and adjoined by,public space, streets: or.yardsnot less than 60'..' i. feet in width onthree sides (rather than foursides). 141CROFILMCD BY f JORM` MICR�LAB UDAR YRPI .

The vehicle has dual driver controls and is normally operated from the right-hand side of the vehicle. To collect solid waste the collector leaves the driving area on the right side(Yhich is in a semi-standing position), steps out, grabs the container or sack, turns and throws into the side of the truck. This type of vehicle is in operation throughout the United States and has ful The reatest advantage is that it success . 9 proven to beextremely' significantly lowers. collection costs. At the present time, the City, operates two and sometimes three persons per vehicle. While one individual is performing his function;, i.e., driving or loading, the other individual is not able to engage in productive work. For example, while the truck is parked and being loaded the driver is not productively employed and while the truck is moving between stops the collector is not productively employed. Through the physical configuration of a side loader truck, these two functions can be combined. Extensive studies have been done on the performance of this vehicle by the Environmental Protection Agency. The safety experience with this type of vehicles is better than with a multi -person crew. This is due to less interaction between the individual crew members which often results in accidents. The Public Works Director and the Solid Waste Superintendent have traveled to observe operations of this vehicle in the Chicago area. It is an extremely efficient method of picking up solid waste in other communities and we expect it to provide the same cost savings for Iowa City. Initially, the City will begin with one combination driver/collector vehicle and as the remainder of the fleet is replaced, we will convert the entire fleet to a combination driver/collector vehicle., The Solid Waste Division has been working toward this concept for the last two years and employment levels have been taken into consideration. there will be no layoffs in the Solid Waste Division and it is extremely, unlikely that there will even be any need to transfer employees. The Solid Waste Division is currently allocated 11 positions for solid waste collection. Advance planning has reduced the number currently on the payroll to nine.

The steps and sidewalk were I installed in fact by the Crandic Railroad. With the closing of I that passenger system, the depot was removed and very ittle else done to the site. However, in my discussion with a Mr. Woods of the Crandic; I was informed that they have had several complaints regarding the use of the crossing by pedestrians and the safety hazard involved when trains are parked in the area. I Mr. Woods tells me that they are strongly consideringremoving I i the sidewalk and steps and erecting a`fence along their property to prohibit the pedestrian crossing movement. They firmly believe that the sidewalk was never intended for a crossing and they have no agreement either verbal or otherwise with anyone regarding its use. Since they feel there could"be.some liability towards their company and that they very definitely need the track space to park trains, they are inclined to erect the fence and prevent the pedestrians from crossing in the area. Mr. Woods did indicate that they would be quite willing .to work with the University towards the erection of a pedestrian overpass for the area. There was no i implication', that they would be willing to share in any of the cost. Since your request to we was to find out information concerning the installation, I did not persue the matter further. II! I cc: Dick Plastino i 1772 MICROFILMED BY JORM MICR6LAB.

City of Iowa City has begun working jointly .with the City of Coral- ville,l the University of Iowa, and'Johnson-County in the preparation of an UMTA grant application. (Past experience has demonstrated that ,ap- plying independently is not acceptable to the Feds.)- The`City,ofIowa f City, has agreed to be the leader agency, with responsibility for the preparation of the grant and administration of subsequent contracts. The, other agencies participating in this application have each taken on a share of the necessary work. Because our permanent staff hasnot had adequate time to devote to this grant 'application, we temporarily hired a graduate student.who�spent i this past summer working on Iowa City's share of the paper work. When the student left at the end ofAugust, he turned over all his work to Keith Friese „the new planner for the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission.. Mr...Friese is coordinating the final preparation of the grant application. I t In 'the course of applying for State transit assistance for the las[',.two i years, Iowa City has requested money for capital acquisitions, to be � .. funded jointly by the State, UNTA, and ''the 'City of Iowa City. Capital items approved by the Council and requestedin the State grants 'include f a replacement bus for old #971, two-way 'radios, a replacement supervisory' `stop r auto, and bus 'sign and shelters. Because of the continuing shortage of buses lavailable for peak -period extra "trippers" it would be advisable to apply for two additional buses above and beyond the one designated to :replace #971. Additional fare F ': boxes and radios should also be purchased for these units. 'These ad- ditional buses would increase our fleet :size lto 20, allowing the employ- mploy-ment`of17 ment of 17buses in regular peak -period service. This would permit run- ning extra buses to additional areas where they will soon be needed. h Unless instructed otherwise, we will proceed with a grant application that includes these extra buses', fare boxes, and radios and Council can then affirm .ordelete this decision during the FY80 budget process. p This will allow ,us'to keep the paperwork on schedule and still allow the ? Council to make the key decision. E Because Iowa City is the lead agency in this endeavor, it is up'..tothe .'City .Council to hold public. hearing. The hearing should not be held, however, until the grant application is essentially complete. i 1 77Z% �j Y - •� . 141CROFILMED BY , JORM', MICR�LAB CEDAR RAPIDS • 'ICS MOINES r�,!CROFILMED BY JORM 141CROLAB • CEDAR RAPIDS AND ULS 140INL5, IOWA City of Iowa City MEMORANC"M DATE: September 14,97 1 h� W ' ' TO: Neal G.

The Community Facilities Policy No. 7 also addresses the subject of the airport approach ' and specifically calls for protectionrP PP zones. The Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map enumerates several uses for the land around the perimeter of the airport. Starting at a point northeast of the airport (at e.Hi Highway 1 the 6 and 218 and Stat ), B Y i the southeast intersection of U.S. Highways Plan recommends that the public facility located at this intersection (the City's Public Works Service Building) remain at ,this location. Immediately'south of this i for approximately 2000 to 2500 lineal feet is an area that is designated for parks and open space purposes. Approximately 3300 south of the above-mentioned intersection,, the Plan recommends a band of manufacturing use along the east side of Highway 218 all the way southward to the City Limits. Immediately south of the airportlproperty the Plan recommends a land consumptive commercial use classification. The area southwest of the airport and outside of the City Limits, is recommended to continue in the agricultural use classification. The area west of the airport (along State Highway 1) is also recommended for land consumptive commercial uses. The area north of the airport property extending from the Highway 6-218-1 intersection westward for approximately 2500 feet is recommended for general commercial uses. This in essence recognizes the existing' commercial uses in that area.

Kraft, Director of Planning g' Program Development RE:Kirkwood Avenue Truck Embargo As requested by the City Council earlier this week, Planning and Program Development has examined the possibility of initiating a truck embargo for Kirkwood Avenue. In reviewing the City's recently, adopted,Congirchensive Plan, one of the goals is to protect residential neighborhoods from the adverse effects of arterial traffic circulation.' Inasmuch as the arca along either side of Kirkwood Avenue from Dodge Street eastward to Sycamore is virtually exclusively of a residential character, I think it could be argued that this is a residential neighborhood. ^" Therefore, the City should take steps to protect this residential area from the adverse'' impacts of traffic. The Comprehensive Plan also designates Kirkwood Avenue as a secondary arterial street and, while it might be functioning as a major arterial at this time, the width t. and design of the street clearly indicate that it is not intenof res handle this rat o f restricting ictin truck would be tl g 0 reasonable approach ach o 'I is One r.> high level of traffic. PP traffic on Kirkwood and thereby providing some degree of protection for this t. residential arca. As indicated in Dick Plastino's memo of September 6, the street has existed as an i arterial longer than probably most people have lived adjacent to it. Nevertheless, because of a lack,of:specific origins or destinations within this area (because of its residential character) it does appear to be possible to divert througlY'truck traffic alon erimeter arterial streets including the Highway 6 Bypass, Gilbert gp It was suggested e din' Street Burlington Street, First Avenue, Street.the Comprchensivc',Plan that, to the maximum extentpossible, trucks be routed on major arterial streets around rather than through residential areas. In that Kirkwood Avenue is not located that far from Ilighway 6, it appears,rcasonablc that cast -west trek traffic could, be successfully diverted to ilighway'6. rovide a balanced transportatio Another Comprehensive Plan goal is to pn system which allows for thc',safe, orderly and efficient movement of people and goods throughout the City. Because of ,the relatively', low volume of tnlck traffic which could be ie con- I. diverted off of Kirkwood, it is unlikely that this traffic would cause undue gestibn on Highway 6.' Therefore, the diversion of traffic would still Picot the goal of providing' a. balanced transportation system while, at the same time,, allowing the residents along; Kirkwood Avenue to experience somewhat of a reduction in noise . level and a slight reduction in the volume of traffic - Certainly it is more convenient for truck traffic to use Kirkwood Avenue, specifically because of the lack of signalization, however, it would seem both' appropriate and consistent with the Comprehensive Plan to place a truck embargo on Kirkwood Avenue. If the embargo is enacted by the City, Council', certainly the exceptions noted in Irick PIastino's memo will have to be made.

Six percent truck traffic is not high for an urban street carrying a°high volume of traffic. A study which analyzed truck, traffic on principal routes through cities stated the following: "10% is not uncommon on principal routes through cities, s lines utilize the same route. particularly where local bu On other urban highways which carry traffic primarily between suburbs and the central business district, truck traffic may be 5% or less. A much higher percentage'of trucks will apply—to serve truck or bus terminals or industrial areas." 2) Truck traffic is going to and from many ,varied points in the community. Signed truck routes are most effective when trucks come in at one or i two points in town and exit town at one or two points. This is not the case for truck' traffic on Kirkwood.' 3) Enforcement of any truck route signing will be difficult. This type of regulation is most effective only when a patrol car is assigned ,to:the route and in actively handing out tickets. it can be anticipated that In thents will absence oapatrol,car, call or a ar u the ordinance. constantly o use Kirkwood as their most convenient route to their destination. t, 4) Kirkwood Avenue has been, and is, a major arterial street in Iowa City. The word "arterial" is used whenever :e street carries travelers from one general area of town to another general area of town. In actual practice, Kirkwood Avenue has been and is now operating as a very important { arterial street in Iowa City. Traffic volumes are listed below: f i Kirkwood Kirkwood Kirkwood , 1 from Gilbert from Dodge from Summit to }' Year to Dodge i to'Summit Lower Muscatine 1971 9,000 81100 8,500 1975 9,500 13,200 8,600 It can be noted that the first and third :sections of Kirkwood have a low growth rate while the section` between Dodge and Summit has shown a large increase in traffic. The City's recently adopted Comprehensive Plan designates Kirkwood Avenue as a secondary arterial street. The Comprehensive Plan, adopted by the City Council, states in part: "Secondar Arterial Street: Serves a dual function of circulation and l streets access w t circu a n on taking precedence. Secondary arterial are developed to carry very large volumes of traffic (5;000 to 15,000' vehicle/day)'in a grid and radial pattern which supplements the primary arterial system. Secondary arterial streets offer direct property I access to onlylarge industrial, commercial', institutional, and multi- family reW� tial9sites."

Although the Council has authorized ,the City Traffic Engineer to place the signs, the Legal Department feels it would be best if Council would pass a separate ordinance for this since State law seems to imply that an ordinance or resolution should be used. Legal feels that an ordinance will be more binding for prosecution purposes. It was mentioned earlier that traffic volumes on Kirkwood have grown rather dramatically in the section' between Dodge and Summit, while there has been I more modest growth on the remaining portions of Kirkwooeatertthan becan expected the traffic volumes in 1978 would be proportionately 9 review of the municipal directory revealed that 28 of the 65 petitioners lived on Kirkwood in 1971. These petitioners would have noticed Dodge to Summit. . traffic, particular traffic, lived on the section from Dodge to Summit, Residents living on Kirkwood for a shorter pe of time would not have noticed such a dramatic increase',since'traffic volumes in ,1975, 1916, etc., were already high when the residents moved onto the street. In other words, some petitioners knew the situation when they purchased or rented their house. If Council passes the ordinance, consideration should be given to the following j types ofvehicles-.j 1) City garbage trucks - These should clearly be exempted from the ordinance since they have pick-ups on Kirkwood. 1 I 2) City buses - The mall bus and the Lakeside bus use Kirkwood. The mall bus could be routed up Marcy and would be on Kirkwood for only a half block. The Lakeside bus cannot logically be rerouted. It is suggested that City buses be exempted from the ordinance. I ` 3) City snowremovaltrucks - Snow plowing trucks will have to be exempted. i 4) Emergency vehicles'- Emergency vehicles will have to be exempted from the ordinance. 5) Delivery trucks - The ordinance should specify that there be no prohibition against necessary local deliveries on Kirkwood. 6) School buses- The school system has four special education buses and two regular buses on Kirkwood. These should be exempted. p'Recommendations If City Council has determined that it should be City policy to embargo Kirkwood, the Legal Department should be directedowri write suitamay ble ordinance.

This is intended to replace the present yellow book which may be used for comparison to note changes. The Civil Rights Specialist inquired whether or not the City has received any funds from the Community Services Administration of the Office of Economic Opportunity. Certain guidelines are to be followed by people receiving those funds. The reply from the staff was negative. I' j The Assistant City Manager inquired if any of the departments had need of an i intern from Dr. Ross's department at the University. The staff was asked to inform the Assistant City Manager at next week's staff meeting. ti Items to be included on the agenda for September 19 include: First reading of: building code Set public hearing for amendment to building code' C Stanley contract for south branch dam of Ralston Creek with memorandum explaining the process Sale of ,land to Ecumenical Housing Continue public hearing on Wagner -Murphy Resolution of Commendationfor Donald Dolezal Jeannette Carter from, the Public Library gave a presentation on the data bases research services from the Library. This service will be available only as long as the grant money lasts. The staff was urged to contact Jeannette Carter if I < anyone has an interest in getting more 'information on different kinds of data bases that are covered. The City Manager asked:that the users of this service report back to the staff on how long, it took to obtain the information and other pertinent facts. The City Manager noted that the staff had suggested that they have input to f; the Council's goal setting process. This suggestion was passed on to the Council.` The Council was not enthusiastic about department heads attending meetings I where goal setting is considered. 'They..felt'they ;could speak freer when; in a f, closed meeting. The City Manager advised that the Council did discuss having input from a broader base of the administration. 'It was suggested that the staff meeting be used for this; purpose or the department head individually can get material to the City Manager which will be passed on to the Council at the time they consider goal setting. He asked for comments from the staff based upon feelings of the Council. The staff felt it, would be better for the depart ment heads to work together on this matter rather than meeting with the City Manager individually' to avoid going in different directions.' It was determined'' to add this subject to the agenda of the September 27 staff meeting. At that time, the staff will discuss overall city goals for FY 80. The City Manager requested the staff to look at the goals as articulated in the, FY 79 budget, to takeinto account the direction each department is going and the needs for the next year and to try to come up with a consensus. 1791 IC fILMCD BYJORM E f ..

Any comments regarding this article should be directed to June Higdon: The Assistant City Manager mentioned that the subject of interns had been discussed at last week's staff meeting., The staff was to inform him of any need for interns. The Department: of Housing and Inspection Services has indicated a need for an intern and also the purchasing agent's office of the Finance Department. The Finance Director addressed the staff regarding the process of putting together the next fiscal year's budget. A discussion was held regarding what ! the policy should be for this year - should the staff, be allowed to increase their budgets, maintain the same level, or cut back. The Council has not been consulted yet, but the views of the staff are being solicited. The Director of Parks and Recreation advised that a blanket policy would not be advisable.- In his department, the minimum wage would cause problems. With so`many part-time employees being paid the minimum wage which will increase in January, the present programs cannot be maintained if-an',increase is not allowed. The Police Chief noted there was no way he could continue at the 5 to 18 Percent. Other e r staff present level without a`substantial increase - 1 _E asst ned to mentioned that the Council should realize that additional tasks g -1 departments would necessitate additional staff: One suggestion of the staff, which was agreed to by all department heads, was to cut aid to agency spending. i A brief discussion was held regarding tax revenues and also the tax revenue as related to new construction, permits. The Director of Housing and Inspection Services, felt that the City Council and the Finance Department should look at basic services and the tax 'base. One point that was emphasized several times is that there should be an incentive for a department head to economize where possible and be allowed to use the. savings for other projects within his/her own department rather than having their budget cut for the ,next fiscal year when a savings can be effected'. In other words,,a department head would be more likely to save money if they know their department can benefit from the savings. The Director of Planning and Program Development felt there is too much emphasis on not hiring', In his department, sources of funds are available but the staff is not available to take on added tasks. The Police Chief again emphasized that it is disheartening, to departments when the City _Council is generous to groups who ask for money when the departments have to operate on,such a shoe -string budget. The Director of Planning and Program Development'mentioned that boards 9 9, 9 and commissions often add tasks, for which staff is not available.: The Council's propensity to create commissions should be looked at. It was again emphasized that the department heads are more than willing to hold the lid on their budgets if tasks are not added after the budget process.
