February 8, 1973
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mulford, Madsen, Ogesen, Davidsen
MEMBERS ABSENT:Henry, Galiher,:Beasley.
STAFF PRESENT: Wollmershauser,; Lambert, Child
Chairman Madsen called the meeting to order and asked if there
were any corrections oradditions to the minutes of the January
25, 1973, meeting. It was moved by Mrs. Davidsen, seconded by
Mr. Mulford, to approve the minutes as written. The motion
carried unanimously.
Councilman Pat White; Vice Chairman of Regional' Planning and a
member of the Executive Board of Regional Planning, spoke to the
Commission and requested a representative from Planning.& Zoning
be named to',a',newly organized Regional Planning Commission
committee --•the Land Use and Water Resources Committee. He
explained.that'the Regional Planning Commission is in the process '
of`reorganizing.and has been restructured' so that there are now
9 Iowa City representatives instead of 3. He further explained
that the,Regional Planning Commission has consolidated the 10
functional committees.that have .existed -in the, past down to:8
functional committees Ane -'of the consolidations is the
consolidation of the Land.Use Committee with the Water Resources
Committee. The'Executive Board is'in the process of considering
appointmentsito these committees and have singled out ',the .Land
Use and Water Resources Committee; Parks, Recreation & Open
Space; and Justice and Human Relations as the first three that
need to be.organized. The'Executive Board has: decided that the
Land Use and Water Resources'Committee,willtbe made up of 3
or 4 members of the Regional Planning',Commission itself. It
will in addition, hopefully, be made up of representatives of
Iowa City Planning ,& Zoning,-Coralville Planning & Zoning, and
the County Planning & Zoning Commission.' In this way it will
-serve as a forum foreachof the three afore -mentioned groups.
Chairman Madsen indicated that this would be an item on the
agenda for the next Planning & Zoning meeting, February 22,
1973.
Zoning Item S-7301. Preliminary Plan for a Planned Area Develop-
ment for Braverman -West (vic. southwest of intersection of Benton
Street and Mormon Trek Boulevard). Developer: Mace Braverman.
Engineer:- Shive-Hattery & Associates (Jim Shive). 45=day
Limitation: 2/24/73
• Chairman Madsen stated that the Staff had noted some deficiencies
and asked the Staff if there were any additional comments. Mr.
Lambert commented that the resubmittal had met all the previous
objections and, therefore, at this time the Staff had no further
objection as the revised plan had met all the requirements.
`2 -
'However .in review with the -,City Engineer there were 'several''
points raised with the details of the proposal'as it presently
is. There is Mr. Lambert Pointed ted out, some question as to the
desirability of the D:E.A.'(Driveway Easement Area).:
Chairman Madsen indicated that while he had no serious objections
to the proposal,.this was really, the first time the Commission
had seen the PAD in its finished form and he would like more time
to consider the'plan and suggested deferring it until the next
meeting.` The ,Commission could then review it at the informal
meeting:and'act on it at the '_February 22, 1973 meeting.
Mr. Jim'Shive stated that the Staff Report listed some very
minor items that have been covered before and that the resubmittal
simply incorporates those items. He explained that primary
deficiencies were in regard to the ROW widths on the three -
adjoining streets. He stated that they have 'gone,through`some
additional arithmetic for densitydetermination which shows that
the project is well below the maximum density permitted under '
the present zoning. And, in view of the fact that there have
been.two previous meetings and that financial commitments have
to- be made by the"lst of`March, they would appreciate the Commission
taking action on -their proposal.
Commission members indicated that they would like to view .the
site allow „themselves time to be satisfied:that they are
personall knowledgeable about the details of the proposal.
Mrs. Davidsen questioned the meaning of D.E.A.'s. Mr. Shive
explained that D.E.A."s are simply tracks of ground over .which
driveways would::,be;placed:to provide access to'the 'units that
front them. They are basically a private drive or a_private
street and this is a graphic refinement to formalize the lines
that were, in the original'submittals.
Dr. Ogesen questioned what the recreational concentrations might
be. Mr. Shive'explained that they may be open green space,
swimming pools,'play,.areas,`etc. They were intended to be
connected by a series of paths or walkways.
Mr. Wollmershauser indicated that if Planning & Zoning approves
the proposal at their February 22nd meeting, then it would go
to the City Council on February 27 and would, if approved, meet
the March 1 deadline.
Commissioner Mulford explained that the PAD was more or less an
outline and the LSNR was much more detailed. However, both the
PAD and the LSNR can be acted upon at the same time.
•
I.
Mr. Mulford moved, seconded by Mrs. Davidsen, to defer the
Preliminary Plan for Planned Area Development for Braverman
West to the next meeting. The motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Madsen discussed with the Staff the possibility of
providing copies of submissions to P & Z members. He indicated

Mayor Tim Brandt
City of Iowa City
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Although living in Florida, I read with interest the:concern
regarding the;.rezoning of the 'site for>,the housing for the
elderly project,in the Towncrest area.
When we sold the land to the City, of Iowa City for the Mercer
Park site and we brought our Towncrest.Part IV into Iowa City,
it:was with full understanding'between'Carsten Leikvold.and'
myself that Tract A, 8 end.0 would be a`buffer zone between
the park and the single family.area'north of'Part "IV.
'
'Note. -the size of the lots. Does this look like single family
residences were, planned? ,There really,is no way to -'subdivide
Tract B that would allow for residential.lots'.
This buffer area was planned and agreed to be multipledat
the time that I ne9 otiated the sale of Mercer Park to the
cit
Y• - ,e had. planned, on either apartments or a'housing for
the elderly project on Tract B and a nursing home on Tract A.
My recollection is that the' city subsequently. rejected a request
for rezoning,Tract C to R3, but instead
'pas. sed 'a I new ordinance
which permits a nursing home in the present zoning. Perhaps
this same ordinance would permit the elderly housing.
Itis an 'unfortunate truth that there really is very little
traffic around a nursing home or- elderly home. It is mostly
the vehicles of the employees because the residents do not
have many visitors; and they do not have their own cars.
I`have never really pressed the issue of rezoning and perhaps
this project can be built without rezoning or with'a special
permit, but really Tract B and Tract C'should both be zoned
for multiple :family ,zoning. I It is a'good buffer and it was
planned to -be that way.

GUESTS PRESENT :° Mr: William Welsh, ,from the Laboratory for
Political Research
Mr. Meardon opened the meeting, calling on Mr. Baldus to introduce
Mr. William Welsh,.head.of'the Laboratory for Political Research:
Mr. Welsh gave a brief report on`what type'of work 'the laboratory
does, stating that the laboratory does:not solicit.jobs of this
"
nature, but would be willing, to do this particular ;job for the
Charter.. Committee in the.interest.of,the community.__ Mr. Welsh
I lso gave a brief report on some studies done in the state of
Iowa by, various students:and.;professors from the%University of
Iowa. r He stated that three kinds of'analysis,can be'done--when
you do this type of research:
1'., Illustrative, by'_tabulations,on responses"to subjects.;
2: Relationships among different kinds of attitudes.
"
3. Relating characteristics of the respondents who are
interviewed to the attitudes 'they ;,have on various,
questions asked in the survey.
.dr. Welsh, also went over the rough.budget summary with the,:
Committee. Mr. Welsh stated that he based the interview cost
,."
on the; that about seven hundred and fifty, interviews
,assumption
would need to be; done in Iowa City on some kind of sampling
basis. The sampling can be done any way the Committee wants it,
based on what kinds of issues the Committee thinks are important
and the .extent to which the Committee thinks the attributes of
"
individuals are relevant to explaining what their attitudes might
be toward these kinds. of issues .(by.using census tracts).Mr.
Welsh then called for questions from the Committee.
r
Mr. Meardon asked the timeelement for the whole project: Mr.
Welsh 'stated that it would. take six weeks from the time that the
questions for the survey were set, adding that it would probably
take at least ten days for the Committee to arrive at the questions,
making the project entail seven weeks or longer.

is a minimum number for a stratified sample for a population of
thirty thousand people. For a simple random sampler You could
go.as low as interviewing fourhundred 'and 'twenty-five to five
hundred people. Mr. Meardon asked what percentage of accuracy
the Committee could look for. Mr. Welsh stated that two and
one=half percent of thirty thousand people is supposed to be
accurate from reports of sampling statisticians. Mr. Meardon
then asked how long the results of a survey, of this ,type: would
be valid. Mr. Welsh stated that'it:depends on the political
environment where' the public's ideas are influenced, so this is
a difficult question to answer. Mr. Welsh was thanked for his
"presentation.
Mr. Meardon then called for corrections or additions to the
minutes of January '31,,1973. Mr. Corrigan stated that the
visitors should be listed,, other than the press. He also
stated -that Stan Rosenstein should be listed under staff present
rather than also present. Mr.
_Corrigan.then moved :the minutes
be approved-, seconded by Dale Welt. Motion was unanimously
carried.
Mr. Meardon then called for additions or corrections to the
Public meeting.of,January'24,.1973. Mr: Baldus moved"the minutes
be approved as submitted, seconded by Mr.'Corrigan.rr Motion
unanimously carried:
The motion was made;by Mr. Corrigan that the addendum to the
minutessof the public meeting be approved and 'added -as reported
and edited to the public meeting minutes of January 29, 1973.
Mrs. Cain seconded the motion. Motion unanimously carried.
Mr. Baldus then asked the Committee if any action was to be taken
on the 'survey. Mr. Corrigan stated that, in view of the limited
amount of,time left before the election deadline, he is reasonably
opposed to such a survey at this time. Mrs'.°Davidsen voiced concern
that she questions whether the Committee can be told a form of
government that will be most responsive; and believes that the
Committee can, through subsequest public, meetings, research, and
study on the Committee's part, determine this. -Mr. Welt stated
that with the time and cost elements involved, he believes that
this would not be a feasible move for the Committee to make at
this time. Mr. Meardon then called for a vote for the reconsider-
ation tabled from the last meeting. (Mr. Corrigan, at the January
31, 1973 meeting, moved ,for reconsideration ofthequestion for
requesting authorization for funding ,to carry out thissurveyuntil the meeting of February 7. Motion was unanimously carried.
Mr. Baldus then moved that the Committee recommend to the City
Council that the survey be conducted. Mr. Corrigan seconded the
motion. After
some discussion, motion failed .unanimously.
Brief discussion was held on Mr. Rosenstein's summary to the
Committee on an article, "Role' Diversity of City Managers", from
the Administrative Science Quarterly. Mr. Rosenstein was asked
to obtain copies of the complete article for the, Committee members.

2. A map showing distributionby precinct of vote against
the parking ramp.
3. Organizational chart of'Iowa :City Government.
4. Summation of an article by Gladys Kammerer regarding
direct election of the; mayor in, council-manager' cities.
Stan then asked the Committee about the possibility of having a
print-out of the census,'tract tapes to determine the social
economic breakdown in Iowa City: The cost is roughly $75 to
$100. The purpose of ,this survey is, is the Charter Committee
is seriously considering a ward 'option, the survey would 'be very'
helpful information. Mr.,Baldus.moved that the Committee have'
this work be done. Mrs.;Davidsen seconded the motion.' Motion
unanimously carried.
Mr.. Rosenstein brought up the possibility of-;.changing the Committee
meeting time'and/or `possibly meeting twice'.a week, and the ,possi-
bility .of having an agenda to follow; He stated the advantage of
having better g
9, press Covera a as a result of agendas before meetings.
He also stated the possibility of using a:,model charter for the
basis of decisions not aimed at any form of, government. He also
stated:the possibility of bringing guests in>:(city managers, mayors,
etc.)'from other cities. Discussion on these points followed.
Mr. Meardon then asked the Committee's feelings on having another
Public meeting. After some discussion, Mrs. Cain made, the motion
that the Charter Committee' schedule a public `meeting 'for March 21,
1973, provided the Committee can.get the Council.Chambers for that
night. Mr. Corrigan' seconded the motion.' Motion unanimously
carried.
Discussion was then held on the possibility of the Committee having

As a property owner of land adjoining Foster Road,
I join the other property owners in this area in requesting
the City Council to schedule paving for Foster Road as soon
as possible. I:sent a similar letter over five years ago when
we were'annexed.in the city. So far the only, change we have
noticed is the City tax bate which is over 25% more than the
County rate._ We have no sewer or water and the condition of
the'ioad is worse since the City, does not put gravel on the
way the county.did. It is true that we now have fire protection
without a special contract but last March is was impossible
for a Sire truck ..to reach .us for, 13 days.
The paving requested is br that portion of Foster
road starting at the present paving at Laura Drive and pro-
ceeding'west to the entrance of the Elk's Country Club.
Your, prompt attention to this.request will be
appreciated.
Respectfully submitted,
-�-Porwood C. Lbuis>�

Re: Frantz Construction Co., Inc. — David Braverman - sewer easement
Gentlemen:
On August 4, 1972, the undersigned wrote, to you on behalf of our client Frantz
Construction Co., Inc. requesting that the city start condemnation proceedings
to secure an easement through property owned by David Braverman.
This letter was the result of prior communications with the City Attorney and
the City Engineer in which they requested, that we make a formal request to the
Council so that the staff could commence the necessary condemnation procedure.,
We have furnished all applicable information to the staff and have been waiting
patiently since the day of, that letter:
Would you please take action on this matter and request that the staff 'proceed
as expeditiously as possible to complete, the same. My client is understandably
disturbed by the delay since he made his initial request to the cityengineering
department in January of 1972.'
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

r To:, File Johnson.CountyRealty
From: RodneyParsons
Subject: Appraisal review setting F.M.V.
{
'The Waters appraisal at $265,000.00 and the IAR Co..ap'aisal
Pr
at $210,000.00•are'26% apart.
Both appraisers agree thatthis buildings. economic life is at
an end and that the property is basically worth land value less
demolition costs. The $55;000'.00 -difference in'the appraisals
comes ;from Waters valuing,the land at $18.00 per square feet
and IA1 Co. valuing.
it at $1500 per square .feet plus a $10,000
,difference in demolition costs.
In reviewing the appraisals I find that the appraisers used
two of the same Com arables"and the third com ara r a
P blas were P
little unusual., IAR Co. used.the'lst National Bank parking lot,
:': Comparable 'as a Com a at ''
p $il. ooper square feet.- Since'this purchase-
wa < a
s made- in .1962 'itiwas -ti raded for time, as'w
pg were his, other
two Comparables, to $15,00 per square;;' feet. It is my feeling
`-
`that he Asa'aittle'lowdue to'locatioin'and`corner-influence
,_ .
conversely, .Waters third Comparable was' a portion now housing,.
Things, Things''and•,Things.` :This 'is unusual in that it .is
r
generally accepted as ,being an extra ordinarily high price;
along with being a smaller;,pie'ce,`.of ground being purchased to
Tadd to`another lot.''
I therefore feel that due'to the'size of.the lot', larger par-
cels uaually.,selling for foot, that ;`a suggested
,..
price per square .foot of $17.60,wouldbe more',accurate-.
We then have, 15, 0W sq.ft,.
,
x $17.00
is
$ 21je Sc
From this figure must be subtracted the cost 'of demolition.
I -contacted the Gee Grading Co. of Cedar Rapids,'.Iowa, and
based on building having aground floor area of 8,699 square
feet and a total"building area of 25,388 square feet per the
IAR Co.,,'appraisal, they estimated the demolition costs at
$12,000.00.
Recommended Fair Market Value $255,000.00
less demolition 12 000.00
243;00 .00
Whether there are or are not leaseholds is a matter of law
and so leaseholds have not been subtracted from,the Market. Value.
The Johnson County Realty Co. has cancelled the Burkley;Hotel Co.
lcaso with Mr. Davis for non-payment of rent so no leaseholds are
considered under the premis that a' sub -lessee's interest can not
hq greater -than the lessee's.

• INFORiML COUNCIL DISCUSSION
FEBRUARY 20, 1973
The Iowa City Council met in informal session at 12:30 P.M. on
Tuesday, February 20th, 1973 at the Civic Center for the bus tour of
the streets used by the buses where the parking will be removed from
both sides of the street. Councilmen present were: Brandt, Connell,
Czarnecki, Hickerson, and White. Others present: Wells, Pappas,
Speer, Kraft, Bonnett and Stolfus.
Streets toured were Rochester, Mt. Vernon Drive, Court, Friendship,
Upland, Morningside, College, Rundell, Sheridan, Seventh Ave., F Street,
Muscatine, Village Green, Village Road, Wayne, First Avenue, Sycamore,
Lower Muscatine, Keokuk, Kirkwood, Summit, Bowery, Clinton, Keokuk,
Hollywood Blvd., California, West Benton, Greenwood, Highland Drive,
River, Lee, Park Road, Riverside Drive, Grove, Governor, Kimball,
Prairie du Chien, Caroline and Whiting.
Other discussion involved the paving on Rochester and opposition
to four lanes; taking parking off one side of every new street; if
buses are late because of parked cars on routes, answered by Mr.
Pappas that usually it is because of the number of loading and unload-
ing stops; cut for corner at Morningside; bus stop on Muscatine blocking
traffic behind it; approximately 5500 passengers each day; 20 transfers
• exchanged with Coralville each day; parking at Miller Exec. building;
Bypass 6 connection on Broadway or Taylor, applicant should go to
Highway Commission, but Highway Commission asks for City approval;
parking, University Heights, send them our policy; Foster not in
'73 Paving because of E/W trunk sewer.
