Boz 1149 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 January 29,1973 An open letter to the Johnson County Board of Supervisors: An immediate criticism of the draft environmental impact statement for Freeway ,518 is that in writing its own statement, the Iowa Highway Commission violates the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Precedent for this was recently established when the B.S. Supreme Court,. refused to review the Greene County (New York) Planning Board case. Because of this, the -Federal Power'. Commission must now make, an environmental review of projects proposed to it, rather.than del- egating that function to the sponsors of projects. In:addition, the statemarit is not only inadequate and misleading, but it is intended as'a self-serving document. In major ,areas, it does not substantially differ from the previous statement. Further, assertions made about auto emissions are erroneous, the location of the historical Indian Lookout alleged by the Commission is wrong and there is,no consideration of highway ineffiency',and its relation- ship to the energy crisis. Citizens for Environmental Action is currently documenting these charges in a detailed review. We respectfully request the Board to defer action in this matter until our critique can be made a part of the Board's own rovien.

Finally the Committee left this :matter to the discretion of the chairman so that if there are,only a few::letters, they may be read first, but if there are many, the chairman may, delay their reading until the end of the meeting. Mr. Baldus mentioned the:procedure used in the charter hearings in New York City whereby speakers registered with a61erk and were heard in the order (1) individual citizens , (2)representatives ) politicians. There wa of organizations, an&(3 s some discussion, about procedural details and whether individual citizens would i a - actually 'prefer going first.` rst.

This ther people would be the deciding.factors in whe information could speak while standing at their seats or only at the front' microphone. The possibility of . a short presentation by Mr.Ringgenberg of,the under the City Code of Iowa forms of government und was discussed. The consensus of the committee was that they were there to listen and that such a presentation might make the hearing a question and answer session. Mr. Davidsen expressed concern that any material brought up in the hearing and not appropriate to the Committee but which was still valuable to other areas of city government should be i noted and reported to the proper persons or groltps.

Meeting was adjourned at 6:00 p.m. STAFF PRESENT: Wollmershauser, Lambert, Child Chairman Madsen called the meeting to order and asked if there were any corrections or additions to the minutes of the January 11,' 1973, meeting.' It was moved by Mr. Galiher, seconded by Dr.Ogesen, to 'approve the minutes as written. The motion carried unanimously. The first ,item of business was the Zoning Item D.1. which reads as follows: C-7301. Proposed change to Zoning Code 8.10.16C concerning bulk storage of liquid propane. Mr. Galiher moved, seconded by Mrs. Davidsen, to recommend to the city Council adoption of'the'',amendment:to Section 8.10.16C of. the Zoningr"Code. The motion carried unanimously. The Commissioners ? indicated that the amendment would -meet the national fire protection standards' and this was the basis on which they -made their recommen- dation. A copy of the proposed amendment is attached. Item D.2. 'Z-7222. Rezoning request of Capitol Propane Gas Company for rezoning of Parcel in Industrial Park (vic.-N.E. of cul de sac of Industrial Pk. Rd.) from Ml to M2. 45 -day limitation: February 12, 1973. Mr. Henry commented that it was his understanding if the area were rezoned M2 and the anticipated business was later removed, the City would still have considerable control over whatever might be located in that area because, Zoning as indicated in the Code, a long list of performance criteria would have to'be met. It was Chairman Madsen's opinion that as long as the performance criteria were 'met, all 'M2 authorized uses would have to'be allowed. Mr. Wollmershauser,clarified the issue by stating that.certain.uses are allowed (according to Section D. of the M2 Zone Use Regulations) but only after a study has been made by the Fire Department and the Planning & Zoning Commission who ' then, makes a recommendation to'the City Council. The City Council may then either approve or deny the request. In addition, performance,standards ,of the code would, have to be met for any proposed M2 use. Mrs'. Davidsen questioned who the enforcement agent would be. Mr. Wollmershauser indicated that this would be the responsibility of the Building Official. Mr. Henry noted that the Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request but the rationale or justification given seemed to be of the negative kind. He questioned whether more could be a I -Z- • said on behalf of the recommendation to approve the request. Mr. Lambert explained that the M2 zone would be basically harmonious with those uses permitted is Ml, that it would not conflict with the neighboring residential property, the use would not downgrade the area and, therefore, would not decrease the property value. These, Mr'.'Lambert stated, were positive reasons in favor of the rezoning. Chairman Madsen stated that rezoning has to be based on,the rezoning, rather than on the proposed use. Mrs. Davidsen " commented that she felt there were adequate reasons for rezoning the parcel to M2, but not just on the basis that Capitol Propane is going, to be there. S,Le'felt the industrial use along the railroad', with the buffering between the zones, would be a good place for M2 zoning. Mr. Galiher asked if ,there was more land along the railroad that would be available for M2.Mrs'. Davidsen said this was her understanding;,,otherwise, the Commission could possibly be accused of 'spot zoning. After_ further_dis_cussion; Mr. Galiherlfmoved, seconded by'Mrs. Davidsen, to recommend approval of the rezoning request of_- Capitol Propane Gas Company for rezoning of a Parcel in: _Industrial Park from Ml-to:M2,'subject to the adoption of the _pToppsed change in tie zoning or.i.nance concerning bulk 'storage o_fliquid propane, Section 8.10.16C of the Zoning Code. The motion carried,' 4-1, with 'Chairman Madsen voting no. Z-7221. Additional Comments concerning PAD for Court Crest, Inc. rezoning request. 45-,day'' limitation: January 25, 1973: Mr. Larry Waters, Vice'President of Court Crest, Inc.; spoke in favor of the rezoning ,and outlined the following reasons why he felt a favorable recommendation' should be forthcoming': 1.Fraternal use and church use are, closely related --'both serve a social function and, in many cases, a religious function. 2. Mr. Seydel, Housing Coordinator,' had indicated that the west portion of the Court Crest' property, presently` zoned R2, would not be acceptable as a site. for Housing for the Elderly. Mr. Waters commented that, in other words,'a higher density than for which they are asking is not acceptable. 3. The property, meets the ecological and environmental require- ments, there would be no change in terrain or exterior appearance, the property does enter onto arterial streets so traffic would not be a problem, Court Crest has buffered the east 85 feet of Parcel,Rl, which will remain RIB, so the neighbors would be protected. 4.' Mr. Waters concluded that you can expect a club to take on the characteristics of the neighborhood in which it exists, and, if it doesn't, it won't succeed. -3 - Chairman Madsen stated that, in his opinion, clubs should not be permitted in an Rl, R2, or R3 zone Mrs. Davidsen expressed the opinion that she could not see her function as a Commissioner to rezone with the idea of allowing a specific use and doesnot feel an R2 zone is the best over- all use for this land. She indicated she would vote against this requestbut would to add a proposal that clubs, churches,' housing sites for the elderly, etc. be considered.as special uses. It was her feeling that some problems that exist in Iowa City might be more easily solved with strict adherence to a special use category. Mr. Henry supported Mrs. Davidsen's proposal to consider special uses. He indicated he would like to see more flexibility in the zoning code and does not feel that increased density is necessarily to be avoided. Dr. Ogesen indicated that he personally felt fraternal organi- zations are inappropriate in residential zones but, since it is written this way in the',ordinance and we are currently operating under this ordinance, the importance.in deciding how to vote on this is what is the best land use. He noted that the Staff F feltthebest land use was single family residences. He stated that he couldn't completely agree with this position because the property is so well served by streets. The area is near to'. schools (families',with younger.children often tend to live in duplex -type dwellings) and they can also be well served by shopping centers'. The church building, which is presently sitting in the middle of the property and is too valuable.to be destroyed,; would probably blend in better with duplex -type units than single family type homes. For these reasons, Dr. Ogesen felt R2 would be an appropriate land use. Mr. Galiher moved, seconded by Dr. Ogesen, to ,recommend approval _of the rezoning request of Court Crest, Inc. ,from R1B to R2 of a portion of the former property of St. Mark'a Methodist Church. 'The motion was denied, 3-2. Dr. Ogesen and -Mr. Galiher __ - -- _ - votedyes;__Charman Madsen,_ Mrst Davidsen, and, Mr. Henry, voted no. Mrs. Davidsen moved, seconded by Mr. Henry, that the Staff investigate special uses, including clubs, churches, housing for,the elderly,' and any others the Staff thinks appropriate, with performance standards. The motion carried unanimously E.I. Selection of a P'& z Commission representative on the Riverfront Commission. Mr: Galiher moved, seconded by Mrs. Davidsen, to recommend to the City Council that Mr. Henry be appointed as representative to the Riverfront Commission effective July 1, 1973, with the stipulation that Chairman Madsen would serve in the interim.

Commission is nearing the completion of a Regional Housing Stud), which has been conducted by its staff 'under the guidance of the Citizens' Advisory'Committee(CACH Two of the basic goals that, have informally guided the study have improve the physical condition of the local housing supply and,i ooe'nable the _lowering of costs to the housing consumer. Un£ort- inately,' these two goals are most often in direct conflict --the cost of housing improvements is 'almost inevitably born by'the, housing consumer. However, ,there are some instances in which both goals can be`met, or at least in which the achievement of one ',goal does not I preclude the satisfaction of the other. In a joint meeting of the'CACH and the Housing Committee on . December 11, 1972, an example of such a'cost-saving housing improve- ment was the subject of extensive discussion and a formal resolu tion. It was resolved, that the jointicommittees recommend to the. City of Iowa City that its existing construction codes be revised' in order to permit the utilization of'Romex wiring in all'residen'- tial construction. It was felt by the committee members that this is but one of the innovations 'in constructiontechnology which promise potential cost savings to the builder and,which could be passed on to the housing', consumer. In subsequent discussions between members of the staffs of the Regional Planning Commission and the City of Iowa City, it was learned that the city-'is',awaiting the completion of the Uniform state Building Code by the Division of Municipal Affairs of the !- Office for Planning and Programming. Once this package of construc- tion codes is completed, it, is understood that Iowa City, and the other Iowa municipalities, will review the optional portions of this'Code for possible adoption at the local level.' The 'target (late for the completion of the Uniform State Building Code is February 1, 1973. It was also learned that the city staff has ,conducted some research into the relative advantages of Romex (non-metallic conduit) wiring with ,regard to the conventional metallic conduit procedure. In.a letter to OPP, dated January 4, 1973, the city staff stated its Iowa City City Council January 16, 1973 Page 2 'recommendation that Romex wiring be permitted only in one- and two-family residential construction. This recommendation was supported with lists of cities which either prohibit Romex entirely or limit its use to one- and two-family dwellings. Cost compari- sons between an estimate for wiring in Romex and in metallic conduit revealed a cost saving 'with Romex, but it was, concluded that this saving was "insignificant." It appears from a review of the information gathered by the city. staff, and on the basis ofl research conducted by, local contractors, that the -relative advantages of Romex 14-iring urith regard to the conventional methods is a subject which merits further investiga- ti6n. rClearly a substantial case can be made:for both the posi- tion of the city staff and that of the CACH and the Housing Committee. It is further recommended, therefore, 'thatwhen the time comes to consider the Uniform State' Building Code package, the City Council make a deliberate effort to hear the arguments of both sides of the Romex issue. Regardless of whether the state package complies'with the recommendations of the city staff or of the CACH and the Housing Committee, the City Council is obligated to weigh carefully the arguments on both sides of the Romex wiring question.

KESSLER January 23, 1973 Mayor and City Council Civic Center' Iowa City, Iowa Gentlemen: Lyle Fisher has reported the results of the meeting held last night on solid waste. If we understand correctly, Your Operating costs are anticipated to be approximately $1.75 per ton of refuse. Your staff in turn are proposing to dispose of waste generated outside of Iowa City', at a cost of $3.50 per ton. We can sympathize with Iowa City's position in attempting to:recover part of the administrative costs involved in such a project, but We do feel that 101% administrative costs are excessive. In view of the very limited funds available to us for this purpose, we feel that we must consider this problem very caiefully.. It would be highly undesirable for us to enter into an agreement such as this without making very certain that sufficient funds were legally available to us. We would urge the City Council to delay making a firm commitment on the charge for this service until the Board' of Supervisors has had a chance to study and evaluate our position in this matter. Sincerely, Robert J. Burns Chairman February 1, 1973 Mr. Robert J. Burns Chairman Board of Supervisors Courthouse Iowa City, Iowa 52290 Dear Mr. Burns The Iowa City City Council received your letter requesting that the Council delay making a firm decision on charges for the use of the sanitary landfill at their meeting,on January 30, 1973.

Real Estate Coordinator Subject: Appraisal review setting Fair Market Value Althou.ah the; two appraisalsare only 10 off in.their final eszi to o£ value on this property the many details and smaller side issues made it a most difficult parcel to review. To start with, many items included in the Dix immovable fixture inventory Iwere included in the real estate appraisal. 1t was necessary to meet with Mrs. Dykes and Mr. ;Staci',and go over the fixture list to ascertain which it ns were-Staci's and w'r.ich items Airs. Dykes',had-installed and were to be considered' part of tine real estate. Straightening out this one, issue alone-.. reduces our offer by ',$24,000.00: - Tho second issue to be resolved was that 'the anDraisers annraised the building as being a sound structure when in £act'it was not.

This amount was then subtracted from tho appraisers final estimate of value. - hi_d issue was that one appraiser said that the Varsity .:_o,...o_l s had'. less than a year left on their., lease. so' no leasehold -,as considered. The other aropraiser said the Varsity Cleaners 2S months left on their` lease' and an $8,000.00 leasehold :rarest. :1n examination of the Varsity Clearers lease sho`ids irroaly 21'tonths remaining on the lease, refigured'to a lease- :.c intarast o£ $6,000.00. ' our th issue to be resolved was that one appraiser gave Henry's sing Co. a leasehold interest of $46j000.00 and the other paged it at $23,000.00. :.;0 aot:rce of the difference in the estimate of leasehold ir. <! Ss i:enry's Lea sing Co. has a 10 year lease with :s. yi:es aid two five year options. One appraiser in essence Eon:-y's leasehold interest should then be for 20 years. c oti:cr a•;praise. in o££oct says the leasehold interest shcuid ro• 7-0 years and puts doubt on whether or not the two 5 year ions would be exercised. The reason he gives for the options going _.,N -on up is as �ollours: Henry's' Leasing Co.'s lease Y. s. Dy.,:os calls for a base rent of $800.00 per month rlus •` u Sol rf A..s. Dykes remodeling costs. Since the remodeling cost l5C.15 the base rent became $17,712.41 per ,year plus an Parcel 54-6 -2- additional 5t rent for any sales exceeding $192,000 annually. At the end of 10 years the option calls for a rent of $10,560 plus an additional S$ of all sales over $211,000.00. As can be seen, t:^.ere is a sizeable rent reduction after 10 years. This is because the improvements firs. Dy'.ces put•, in will be raid for and presumeably depreciated U. Fast food establishments have a great deal of design or decor obsolescence and will therefore need to be remodeled at the .and Of 10. years to remain competitive'. Staci Incoruorated rents from Henry's Leasing Co. and pays a base rent of $21,150.15 per year -0 7% of annual sales in,e::cess of $192,000.00. The difference in the rent that Henry's Leasing Co. collects from'Staci and'pays to Airs. Dykes is the basis for Henry's leasehold interest. At the end of the initlal:10. year period Staci's lease with' Henry's calls for no rent reduction s0 he would be faced with vaying an extremely 'nigh rent and using obsolete equipment. The cost of remodeling would"also fall on Staci and it is; very doubtful that, he would bear the cost of this remodeling plus haying the high :err. Another factor in that would. keen.Staci;fTom renewing ,his lease is inflation. using some imaginary figures and very possible annual inflation Yate of. 5o per year. If Staci p�ere doing an annual business o£',S20O.000.00 and using the annual- inflation nnualinflation ,rate, , in ten :years, doing e\actly the same Volume Of business he is now doing, hissales would be $327,167:00.

IOWA 52240 PHONE 351.3085 January 23,1973 Mr. Ray Wells City Manager Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Ray: Following our discussion last Thursday concerning the sanitation levels of food service establishments in Iowa City, I asked David' Pedersen on our staff to prepare a statement as to current conditions in these establishments. The attached memo from Dave will give you some idea of the working levels of sanitation. The demerit level referred to in Mr. Pedersen's memo is in reference to the Public Health Service RecommendedOrdinance and Code Demerit System, which has been adopted by Johnson County. The food service establishments in Johnson County were surveyed in early 1969 at which time the average demerit level was forty (40). This is approximately the level that you could start to consider revocation of permits. .Prior to this time, the restaurant inspection program in 'Iowa City had, been conducted by the City itself. Two years later, in`1971,',when I came to this ,office I again surveyed the food service establishments and found that after two years under the new program the demerit score for all practical purposes was unchanged, with an average of approximately 40 demerits. The entire food service program was temporarily halted After re shuffling and retraining the staff, the food service program was again instituted and•has not been ;surveyed since that time. As you can see from the average demerit score of eleven (11) demerits now, as opposed to 40 two years ago, this program is prod results. " For all practical purposes, we find that survey scores are 'invariably he enforcement scores resulting higher than t g from routine inspection. g There are good and just, reasons for this and is to be expected. Normally we do not find that the survey scores exceed the enforcement scores by more than fifty percent. As you can see from the attached memo, there are some food service establishments which are significantly higher than we would like. All of these establishments have received written notice of the pending revocation and are scheduled for a reinspection by January 30th to determine compliance with our regulations. 'In addition, I should state • that this will be a joint inspection with the representative from the Iowa Department of Agriculture. • Mr. Ray Wells City Manager -2- January 23, 1973 I believe this is as clear and accurate'a picture as I can give you of the food service sanitation in Iowa City at this time. If the represent- atives of the Johnson County Health Council have some specific references to substandard sanitation levels in any of the restaurants in Iowa City I would be happy to talklto'them in order to correct such a situation. I concur with this committee in that I think a closer communication between the Board of Health and your office would be highly desirable. As per our discussion, I have asked our secretary to send you a formal notice of each joint meeting between the Board of Health and the Board of Supervisors in order to assist in, this communication problem. '`If ` this meeting time is not convenient, please give me a call and I am sure we will be able to work out some sort of arrangementthat will be acceptable to everyone. Sincerely, Lyle M. Fisher v Director • JOHNSON COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT COURT HOUSE • IOWA CITY. IOWA 52240 ' PHONE 351.3085 January 19, 1973 MEMO TO: Lyle M. Fisher,Director FROM: David Pedersen, Sanitarian RE: 'Demerit Scores accumulated during restaurant inspections. Discussion: The 'scores resulting from my last round of food service establish - meet inspections were tabulated and averaged as per your directive.

STAFF COMMENT: During the.January ll,,1973,P,& Z Commissionmeeting, the Commissioners': requested' the'Staff''and Developer explore',the possibility of 'using a PAD for use of a club for the subject property. The City Attorney was consulted at length and issued essentially the following opinion. The PAD provisions' of; the Zoning;,Code cannot be used ; for a Club as proposed by the Commission. The PAD General Provisions of Land Use require "combinations of uses including', single family, miltifamily, and commercial." A club is a' singular use, not a combination of uses, ,and as such would require a rezoning. A PAD is, fora mixture of interrelated residential and supporting uses. i y ,, s; x 1 7n ��.•I,�"- �' YJI��y ' kl h �.'t �. 1 li, r '� Y +� �6 i �ti.
