ledgeable for this.

CONSIDER RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING
A LOADING ZONE IN FRONT
OF THE NELSON DEVELOPMENT SCHOOL AT 614
CLARK STREET,
Comment:
The staff received a request from school officials at
614 Clark Street
to have a loading, zone installed along
the north side of Seymour Street
located at the
entrance ;to Nelson School. The
reason for the request is
that a private school for handicapped children is
at
this address a. located
and there is no place for
ing -leav-
parents
children to load and unload. It is the
staff's
recommendation that the loading zone be
permitted on
Seymour Street. This loading zone
would be similar in
nature to that which was ''permitted at 947
Iowa Avenue
and at 320, EastCollege Street. The staff
recommends
approval of the resolution.

r. Mike Holland - January 29, 1973
Summary of Conversation with M
,• What kind of procedure should we follow?
Suggested order of consideration.
First, which is, the most detailed and requires:the greatest amount
of effort and.that is to decide exactly what kind'of a cable system
you want for the city and what kind of regulations you desire to
govern that system.
Second, what you want is a'legal document that reflects that', which
you want to be the cable communications system for your community,
and then put this in.ordinance'form.
Third, after the ordinance is developed you develop an application
form.Your ordinance should reflectthebasic 'minimum kindsof
consideration that :you believe are manditory for any-cable.system
for your city. You reflect these in -your application form. This
_ enables 'you to receive the;material in a form that reflects.what you
ha y brings, you the information in,a-.form
ave decided and secondl it br
that you-can,compare.what operator A says to what operator B says.'
Fourth, in a public process, you chose a particular franchise
operator.;on the basisof all the information at hand.
Fifth, enter. franchise agreement.
sixth, you enter into area of supervision.,'But'this you have
to lay;'down'now. You want to decide on the mechanism .and; assign
it functions.
If.,you, chose to recommend some form of public ownership you
wouldn't be developing an application form or 'selecting a
franchise operator. To come back to the first point. There are
really three big issues that you face at on,the set.
i.
1 What kind of system do you want
2. Phut kind of ownership are you going to have
3: What kind'of a regulatory structure are you going to have.
The kind really keys, on the matter of ownership. For example
if the city should own the system -.there is the key question
of separation of ownership and management.
You have to make determination of such items as:
Length of franchise.
What 'kind of renewal procedures:
• You want to have something relating to violations of the franchise.
You need a method of determining what the franchise is worth if
the city buys such. The system is worth more than the cables, there
is goodwill. (Questioned this.)
• He indicated
ndi ated that this is something that has to be dealt with.
Designate what the territory is, are you going to have one main
system or more than one head in.
You h I ave to consider transfer, change in ownership.
Otheru
q estions that are very important, but also very difficult
is to determine what kind�of demands the community in Iowa City
will make on a.cable system. What kind of programming facilities
are you going to have whit kinds, if any, of specialized services
like point to point services, what type s of provisions.,for
interconnection and how your going to require interconnection.
Who determines what communities you require interconnection with.
You then get into regulatory issue processes, construction
,
sch .. e . ul , e -- sp e , ci a , lized services1-:'what kinds, of rates, how your
going.to I review,those rates:five ye I ars.after,the system has
been in, I em I pl I oy I ment: requirements Phow consumer complaintsare to A
be handled, how the streets will be used.
These are the types of items you have to decide before you star
writing -the ordinance.
(Discussed when he could get materials to us.)
to think. I I can get mosto I f the information you requested
I tend
in tendays or so. And I would like for you to have some lead-
time to -look over, these materials.
It will be another seven weeks before we have as a part of our
services published materials on consultants.
we discussed thetime ofhis visit, the March 31st deadline.
(He will come March 5, in,relation to March 31, he said.)
Perhaps what you will want'to do is.to develop some sort of
tenative report and go to the council and request more time.
My guess is that you could not select a consultant and,get
anything ready by March 31st if you had everything already
determined
(In relation to consultants) You have to decide where you are not
capable of getting good solid information. (Finances feasibility.)
What a financial feasibility can do for you is to give you the cost,
assuming various uses. A great deal of this type of -information
is available to you. You have to really narrow down what you want
a consultant to do, or you find that he ends up making the decisions
• for your system. And, another thing you need to remember is that
they work closely with the industry.

Cable Television of the Iowa State Education Assoc.,
and Dave Melone, Field Engineer of the 'Iowa Educational
Broadcasting Network and liason between the school
district and the cable operatorinDes Moines.
Also present were 'several visitors.
The CATV Committee met at the First Christian Church at 4:15P. M.
(where it will meet at 4:00 p.m. on February-12,,and'February,..19,
- •
due to the Civic Center being closed for holidays on these'dates.)
No minutes of the 'January 29 meeting were available.
The chairman announced that'the'City Council had approved a budget
of $4700 for, the.Committee's use at the Council meeting of January
James Wise, explained that the Task Force of the ISEA was formed in
November, 1972, 97 as a result of,community experiences in the field
of cable t2,
vision. Its purpose is'to "develop,.discover, and'
recommend processes, procedures, and techniques to help cities
and inter -city agencies" in the field of CATV. Results of a survey
are being processed to ascertain attitudes toward CATV in more
than 400 school'.districts in Iowa. The 'results will be given to
the Iowa City CATV Committee soon. This is a pilot project for:
the National Educational Association,and one of'its,charges is to
develop informational sources on needs (technical, etc.) for
cable systems. Mr. Wise has requested Governor Ray to appoint a
task 'force in the State;of.'Iowa to study the entire CATV situation.
The, Iowa City CATV Committee voted to send'a letter to the governor,
supporting that `request. '-Mr. Wise has also made contact with the
Legislative Research Bureau, the Commerce Commission, and the
League of Iowa Municipalities, none of whom were ''actively engaged
in any study. Mr. Wise believes that the role of CATV in the
educational process is not yet known but that', the potential is
very great. He emphasized that the public will need a -broad
informational and educational program on CATV and its uses. The
Des Moines schools will be included in the new cable system being
developed there.'
•
It is
Mr. Wise's estimate that $2700 would buy hardware for a school.
Franchise fee might be used to get the drops into the schools if local
government bodies choose to require it. The city of Des Moines
will have a two-way potential on its cable with 60-70 two-way
channels available.
CATV Committee Page 2
February 5, 1973
Dg!t�lg�2y2, reported that thirty towns in Iowa take programs
0 h r by cable that could not have television otherwise.
In the schools only channels 11 and 12 are currently being
eing used
and there is no local programming due to lack of technique and
money. He stressed that television in the schools should be
used as resource and should not be over -sold.. Humboldt, Iowa,
has wired four schools recently at a cost ,of,$1800 each. Iowa
City has one set in each school and might consider,purchasing
some more over a long period of time. Mr. Melone discussed with
the Committee the 'question of the quality of the use of.1/2" tape.
Mr..Wise suggested the use of atone -half time coordinator in
the school district. Mr.> Mel9nelthought that local programming
,of one fifteen -minute program per week in the schools might be,
the reasonable expectation in the near future. Mr.,Wise suggested
that the local ordinance should ask for the assignment of Channels

There was no discussion from the audience.
that'old and new business be taken care of before
Ms. Eskin proposed .
that separate meetings be called for
calling on resource people, or
appearance of such persons. It was agreed that the agenda should be,
planned to allow for old and new business to be handled first, when-

The Committee agreed to discuss "System Design at the February 19

The March.5 meeting will be reserved for Mr. Mike Holland of the CATV
Information Service.
Mr. Kril requested that the Committee make 'a decision on the appearance
of'Mr. Joel Gold of New York -City who will speak to the Committee on the
use of the public access channel. He requested money ,for transportation
for Mr. Gold. Mr. Russell moved and Hubbard seconded the motion to
allow':$150 for Mr. Gold's transportation when he appears before the

Committee-on.March 15 with Mr.

Mention was made by Ms. Ehninger that there would be need for a work-
...
shop and the question was 'raised as to whether this might ,be'worked
into Mr. Holland's visit. No action was taken, but,Committee thought
that some kind'of:public meeting was called for at some time. Mr.
Wdlsh will continue to explore this idea.
Mr. Blum reported that on a recent trip to St. Louis, he learned that
the public was apathetic there but 'that 'some work had gone forward on
an^area basis of.103-municipal bodies and four of those have adopted
ordinances for franchising, 20 others exhibited some interest. The
rest did not respond. Mr. Blum learned`that'Kansas City, Mo. hasno
cable television. Kansas City, Kansas has cable with only standard
networks, weather, and FM radio which have been "grandfathered" to
• meet FCC rules.
Ms. Eskin distributed a new publication from the University's Institute
of Public Affairs which is to be used state-wide for community leaders
exploring cable television.

CATV Meeting
February'12, 1973
• Mr. Welsh introduced Mr. Claude Peterson, consulting engineer in the,
communications field, who spoke to the Committee and answered questions
about the current state of the art. The following are some of his
comments:
The economics of the system is dependent on the cost of
getting the cable into service This is 60% of the cost.
As apractical, matter, the franchiser has a monopoly be-
cause a duplicate system is not going to exist. In re-
sponse to the question about the number of channels to
expect on the cable, Peterson thought that'40 might'be
possible, but that 20 were more realistic to expect.
To the question: why are not all systems considered
"compatible" os.the same frequency, the answer is that -
should be since hardware is standard. Standards should
go into the franchise and be above the minimal standards
of the FCC.
Question: What`is the future 6f -micro -wave and will any
system installed soon be out ,of, date? Local uses will not
change.;that fact. ;If' franchisers are not making feasibility
studies, 'they ,would be wise to do so, in case rapid changes
get ahead of the system.
Mr. Peterson expects that franchises will eventually be treated as a
utility., _.
Public ownership with lower interest rates for bonds than the private
franchiser can get, could allow fora reasonable fee of about $5.00
a month per subscriber. A commission or an administrative department
of :'the:'municipality could run the system.
Cost in, Iowa City to install: he estimates around $2 million based on
the experience at Lawrence, Kansas. This estimate would include the
system :extending to Coralville and; University Heights. 'Minimum number
of channels should include University Field House, Stadium, City
Council' Chambers, and two-way system into each house as a potential.
The, Committee thanked Mi. Peterson for his presentation.
Mr.,Welsh requested that all library materials be returned at the
February 19 meeting and that any agenda' items for that meeting be
in his hands on .February 14.

MEMBERS PRESENT: Madsen,, Davidsen, Ogesen, Mulford, Beasley,
Henry, Galiher
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 "February 8, 19730
meeting. It was moved by Mr. Mulford, seconded by Mrs. Davidsen,
to. approve 'the minutes 'as written. The motion carried unanimously.
Zoning Item S_J301. Preliminary.Plan for a Planned Area.Development
for Braverman-West-(vic. southwest of intersection of Benton St.
and Mormon Trek Blvd.) Developer: Mace Braverman. ,Engineer; _
Shive Hattery &:Associates (Jim Shive).- 45 -day Limitation:
2/24/73.:;
Mr. James Shive stated that, after having discussions cwith the
P..& Z'Commission, it was ,Concluded that publicstreets; would be
most desirable so the submittals were changed to indicate a series
of publid,streets. Also, a network of sidewalks within the green
spaces were proposed with the Ideletion of sidewalks along the public '
streets. Now, however, they are abandoning';the concept of interior
sidewalk;._ network and proposing ,to install sidewalks in the street
as in a normal subdivision
Mr. Shive explained that because they recognized the suggestions
that were made relative to setbacks of 'garages, they would reluctantly
ae:e t a, 15' setback for the garages. He stated that: they would then
P 4. g.
like' to couple that ,`with 'a slight moving of the sidewalk within the
ROW .and `have the sidewalk 4' from the property line as opposed to 1'.
He said'that-current'City standards, as far as new subdivisions
are .concerned, call for a 1' gap from the sidewalk to the property
line.' The 15" setback coupled with 4' from the property hnerto
the sidewalk would give them 19' to be utilized as a parking spot
so that each dwelling unit would at least two on-site 'parking
spots. 1 and 3/4 of the spots 'would be on private property with
the other '1/4:jutting out into the, public ROW but this would,be
clear of the sidewalks. He indicated they would like to be given
the opportunity to extend the sidewalks between the driveways rather
than through the driveways so that the hard -surface asphalt drive-
way could function as a sidewalk.
Mr. Shive explained that their plans call for two D.E.A.'s
(Driveway, Easement Areas) -- one in the southwest corner of the
area, and one on the east side. He stated they would be willing
to have the one on the "east side changed to a public right of way
but would prefer the one in the southwest corner as a private area
because the particular' layout they would like to adapt for that
area would seem to work best with private streets. If, however,
that.would be a major point of contention, they would abandon that
request and go to a public right of way. These, he said, were the
Ir.
-2-
modifications they would like to submit to the P & Z`Commission
for their consideration.
Chairman Madsen statedthat he would consider the 15' setback
certainly not what.he would prefer, but would consider it an
acceptable compromise.
After discussion, it was the consensus of the Commission to
require a 16' setback from the property line to the building
line ,to'allow 16' of parking on the lot =and "3' on the ROW between
the property line and the sidewalk.
-Mrs. Davidsen-questioned whether there were any requirements as
to the placement of a sidewalk. Mr. Wollmershauser explained that
Section 9.60 ,of the-City,Code states that sidewalksshall be one
foot from the property 'line but the City Engineer may. vary, that.
However, in any case, the sidewalks must be no less than 4 feet
from the street. He `stated that both the City Attorney and the
Assistant City Attorney have expressed the opinion that, under
Section:6.16.28 of_:the City Code,.,parking is not allowed on a
sidewalk. ;Sidewalks are defined in Section 6.16.13 as that
portionbetween the curb lines, or the lateral lines,of the road
way and the adjacent property.lines intended for the use of
pedestrians."
Dr. Beasley,asked Mr. Shive if he visualized any on -street parking.
Mr. Shive stated that as he understood it,' the Commission is
requiring,them to put two parking spaces, per dwelling unit on
private; property. There will also be a public street, and'.how
parking will be enforced on a public street; 'he wouldn't know.
Chairman Madsen stated that what ,the Commission needed to"be
concernedabout is what they
want to . require because, in approving
this kind of PAD,,' relatively narrow lotswouldbe permitted. There-
fore, the parking is not the same as it would be in a normal R1B
area. Mr. Shive indicated that they will still have two parking
spaces; per dwelling unit as a minimum.
Mr..Galiher asked if Braverman -West planned to have a:uniform 16'
building line or a staggered effect. Mr. Shive answered by
stating they would regard the 16' as a minimum and, if they could
afford to stagger them 'further 'than that, they would do so.
Mr. Shive stated that the PAD Ordinance seems to suggest 'a variety
of interpretations as to what it covers, and all they are trying
to do is to submit a proposal ,for a land development, that is not
typical. They are asking for a variation from the regulations.
Chairman Madsen pointed out that the function of the PAD is not to
cut costs or to 'evade some City requirements but to permit unusual
arrangements of housing. He said he didn't see that they could
require people in other neighborhoods to pay for concrete streets
and not require this of people in this kind of neighborhood.
• O
Mr. Shive stated that he was only talking about driveway returns'.
Chairman Madsen stated.that this would ,necessitate:a'change in
City requirements and not just'a change in PAD. He could see
no reason why a PAD should be permitted a', lower, quality driveway,
and suggested that the P &'2 Commission should make the same
requirements as are required in any subdivision. Mrs..Davidsen
pointed,out.that this should actually be a part of the LSRD
discussion rather than the ,PAD discussion'.
- Mr. Mulford pointed out that private streets would mean the absence
of such ,City services as snow removal, garbage pickup, water and
sewer mains, and possibly fire protection. Chairman Madsen indicated
that the property owners would be responsible for street maintenance,
too, and he could see no advantage to private streets. Mr.
Wollmershauser reiterated that the City Engineer would strongly
prefer that the 'streets be public because of the problem of not
providing services to people.
After a`lengthy'discussion concernin parkin
g p g, sidewalks, and
pavement types.,rChairman Madsen.called'for a motion. it was
moved.by,Mr. Galiher, seconded by Mrs. Davidsen, that the
Preliminary Plan for the Braverman, -West PAD be accepted under
the following conditions:
1.) That the minimum front yard setback be 16 feet,`
2'.) That all streets be publicly dedicated streets, and
3.) That the alternative pathway system be 'removed from the
plan as requested by the developer.
The Commission, in their discussion before voting, clearly
indicated that the questions of sidewalk provision and location,
pavement type and;width,.and any ,other considerations properly
the subject of, platting would not be determined or altered by:
the approval of>this PAD Preliminary Plan but would be covered by
the Large Scale Residential_ Development plan to be submitted at
a later date. ,This motion was unanimously passed.
The attached sheet summarizes the variances requested by the
developer and approved by the Commission for the PAD.

The Brubaker Room lighting is still in 'unsightly con-
dition. We have:been given an estimate of $475 by
Kahler Electric to give full and even illumination
to the room.
We should add another telephone line which would mean
that we would 'add a console that would be manned on an
8 am to 5 pm basis.. Improved telephone communications
are necessary because recent telephone company surveys
show, an inordinate number.of,blocked calls. Re-lamping
of the Brubaker Room is 'necessary in order for us to
move desks into that area. By so doing, we should also
be able to im rove the workflow in technical services.
The re-lamping of the Brubaker Room must be considered
as part of the problem of,improving telephone communi-
cations. We are -right -.now only in the discussionphase., -`
A;great deal of detailed planning will have to be done
before we come toa set;of.decisions'. After we.have
had `some 'staff work on the problems, this is a matter
that could be referred to the Building &'Grounds,com-
mittee for detailed consideration before being brought
to the whole Board.
Recommendations:
I recommend that the Library Board adopt a policy
stating that when damaged or lost art prints, films,
and phonograph records are paid for, that,the money
paid be deposited inthe special`fund'from which thepl
original purchase was made so long as such special
funds exist.
Other problems that might be considered by committees are:
A. Capital Improvement Program - Budget & Finance
B. Coralville, relations with - Community Rela-
tions
1. All teachers in Iowa City Community
School District to have ICPL borrowing
privileges?
2. Institutional cards to be issued to
institutions outside of Iowa City?
C. Auditorium Improvements - Building & Grounds
(film programming requirements, to be considered)
The processing subsidy of 40C per volume is now paid
for all member libraries, including Iowa City Public
Library. With uncertain funding for the fourth quarter
of FY 1973 and no information at all on FY 1974, it
would seem wise to warn all member libraries, including
Iowa City Public Library, that effective July 1, 1973
there will be no processingsubsidy unless funding is
restored in an amount sufficient to allow Seven Rivers
to continue the processing subsidy.

A new year, a new "month, and somehow a lot of new things
to' report , apart from a very active circulation which is
never new.
We have added another daycare group (University Parents
Care Collective)-to:our collection of regular programs,
as well as more Headstart children the three-year-old
contingent. Our `first "Grandparent",Story Hour is due
soon, as is an origami film plus paper -folding demon-
stration by Mr. Hajime Kijima (and friends). An 87 -piece
art exhibit from the Iowa City Community Schools is being
shown in the children's room through February 22. The
children from Shimek School are writing book reviews for
us (we supply the books). The Puppeteers I'gave their
version of "The:Pied Piper to three very 'appreciative,
Hos-
audiences. Jane Ford, recreation director at the Hos-
pital School, has arranged to-bring.:her children,- all
in wheel chairs : -7 to Saturday story hours and to special
programs.'- More foreign'storytellers are coming. Carol
Phillips; new; leader of:the.Young„Footlighters, has met
with us and plans regular and frequent use of our facil-
ities. Two news"volunteers,. Paula Moothart and Karen
Fjelstad, come in Sunday afternoons to help out. For
the second consecutive month, we have managed to -pro-
cess 1,000, children's books. Other plans;are cooking,
or are.on the back burner, and promises are being made
for spring and.summer programs from snakes (live) and
fishing to children's ballet.
Wewanted, this 'month,,,to prove that children's services
also regularly do things that sound more °professional'
and serious than paperfolding and grandmothers. So for
one week, January 22 - 27, we kept a record of the'num-
ber of questions. (aside from hours,<:restroom key,, etc.)
that we were required to answer; anything that required
head and/or footwork. We remembered to mark down 164.
Monday :and Saturday were busiest;, Friday, with fewer hours,
was least curious. We didn't count on Sunday.,
On the lighter side, two things. We are to have a gift
horse in the xoom (small, hobby) easily looked, in his
wooden mouth. And a small girl, looking at the gerbils,
asked "Where is the little man?"

P' L IOWA CITY PUBLIC LIBRARY / IOWA CITY'/ sOrso
Jack W. Hurkett, Director
THE LIBRARY & CATV
Introductory Statement:
The Library is an educational institution that also has
civic, -cultural, informational, r.eference,;.and recre-
ational services.We are interested`in working'cooper
with other individuals and public agencies such
as schools and the Recretaiom:Center,.for example; in
programming for cable television. In addition,
it should
be.recoanized that the Iowa City Public Library, in the
near future, should also be able to coordinate and; pool
its cable activities through the-newly-developing<regional
library system.
Public Interest Programming:
Among library programs already in progress and which,
therefore, would require no additional staff time to
develop prior to live or videotape broadcast from the
Library, consider these programming possibilities:
a. ` children's -story hours,,(several:times weekly),.
b. special children's summer programs (bike repair,
rock collecting, paper,.folding, etc.),
C. puppet shows (once a month);
d. film programs, both ,adult and children's (at
least on a weekly basis),
e. Sunday concert and drama programs (monthly dur-
ing the winter months),
f.. meetings of community groups using the Library
meeting -rooms, such as
1. legislators -constituents meetings,
2. Kirkwood adult education classes, including
their mini -courses on pre -retirement, cake
decorating, etc. and even possibly adult
basic education skills courses,
3. county extension short courses (baby-sitting
clinics, commodity futures investment ses-
sions, textile courses, consumer information,
etc.),
The Libro.& CATV, p i2 •
4. , Regional PlanningCommission meetings,'
5. League of Women `Voters, ,Sierra 'Club meetings,
$. tax 'return prepartation assistance from
VITA.volunteers.
Additional program possibilities which would require
additional staff time to develop might include:
a. reference service via CATV: an hour each day
when answers to phoned-in questions from patrons
could be put on the screen (for example, maps,
graphs or an article from an encyclopedia; a
product evaluation' from Consumer Reports or a
dist of addresses from a S ness directory),
b. book review programs which could include inter-
views with local authors,
c. stories or books read aloud for the visually
handicapped,
d. -recordings from the Library collection played
with a record jacket used as a graphic signal;
' these could include-both.musical and spoken
work records "including the readings of, plays
or'foreign language records,',
e. community calendar:, announcements of current
community,cultural-and 'civic events compiled
from the:''many announcements and brochures
received regularly by the',Library;
f. craft demonstrationscombinedwith related
Library materials (macrame,`etc'.); also "in-
stant:craft'.' demonstrations for children,:
g. video tapes suitable for,braodcast which could
be made available to"the public as the Library
does now for books,, films,,and.records;.the
Library ;does NOT now have a collection of video
tapes.
Comment:
The F.C.C. requires three cablecast channels with
specific uses: educational, public-access, and state
and local government. We feel that the Public Library
could, and should, go beyond using time on either the
public-access channel or the channel for state and
local government use. The required three channels
available would not be sufficient to provide the
variety of programming needed for an information-
oriented, sophiscated community like Iowa City.
Professor Delbert'Smith,'Communications and Space
Science, The University of Wisconsin Madison in
"The Potential of Public Channels" has said:
We feel that for proper community service programming,
the CATV franchise should provide additional channels
beyond the educational channel.
In planning for an 'improved public library building,
consideration should be given to.giving the Library
the capacity to serve as the community broadcast center
by making studio facilities and equipment available to
all other public service agencies that wish access to
the cable. The Library staff believes the Library is
the natural choice as the agency.that could properly
assume responsibility for and coordination of all local
noncommercial or public channel use. We realize there
would be real funding 'and'.manpower;"demands, but'we also
realize that cablecasting.does.not require the rehear-
sals of
ehearsals`of performers nor the numbers of technicians or
technical apparatus associated with over -the -air tele-
casting.
The'Library will, of course, provide local programming
resources for others, most especially through our re-
ference and information services. In addition, the
Library can provide a',wide variety of programming from
its own collections and staff. But the vital role the
Library can play in this important community activity
will be reduced if'there'is no convenient access to
the cable. We might say„'that sharing time on a public
access channel would be somewhat ,like not having a
telephone of one's own and having to share a coin-
operated,telephone just down the street a block or two.
The'amount of'cablecasting by the Library would inevit-
ably be reduced.
If the cable operator puts a line into the Library,
community access will bereatl improved and the
g Y
community will derive greater benefit from Library
resources this way. If the City Council provides the
Library with $600 to $1,500 for equipment, the cable
oPerator will have a strong reason to cooperate with
the Library because he will see where he 'might be able
to use this equipment occasionally himself in an em-
ergency. By providing more programming,' more potential
subscribers will be opened up for the cable operator be-
cause many subscribers insist on local program origina-
tion.
The Libra* & C.A;V,,�^ •
An operator would be needed on the staff at least half
time to handleequipment, but this operator should not
be required to maintain and service it. Black and
white camerae range in price from $300-$1,500, while.
color cameras start at $10,000. One-half inch tape
recorders range from $800-$1,150, and one -inch tape
recorders from $1,750 upward. While one -inch tape re-
corders are preferable, one-half inch tape recorders
are adequate for a basic one -camera setup.
Conclusion:
The ultimate choice is whether during the next decade
the Library is to be.a static repository foreknowledge -
or an active purveyor of ideas. The Library can, and
should, provide programming for adults and children'.
The variety and sophistication of the progr`_nming will be
governed by.the degree of support given the Library.
Full use of the abilities of the Library, staff and of
•• the, resources within the Library collection, as well
as through the regional, library,-system,,can best be
made if sufficient..support is given,to the ,Library to
`encourage effective cablecasting. Such programs as
story hours,,, concert and, drama.programs'book review
programs, ,including interviews with'local,'authors,''etc.
should be'cablecast on a` free` basis and not on a limited
fee basis. Such a stipulation should be written into
the agreement with the franchise operator. The ideal
situation would be to give the Library,.the.capacity to
serve as the broadcast center for the community, giving'
it the responsibility for and coordinationofall local
noncommercial or public channel use. Such a decision
would be consistent with policies allowing the Library
to 'grow and to modify itself to meet the changing needs
of the community.

The children's services portion of the library is like a separate
little library in itself. It takes care of its own ordering and some
of its processing,' its own programs and displays, and has its own sup-
portive staff. It maintains the same hours as the adult section of
the library, but has a shorter borrowing period of ;two weeks to insure
most effective use,of needed materials --although a two-week renewal
period is possible.,' Besides its books, the children's room has col-
lections of small framed art prints and books with', accompanying records.
There is also a family of gerbils.,,
The room is a' brightly:;colored"place,'decorated with "Peanuts"
posters. cards, and stickers, and -hung with'a forest of mobiles (we
also suspended gingerbread,' popcorn and peppermint at Christmas time).
It's shelves bulge with books in spite>of.a`busy circulation, and
between the shelves and all around are the children.
Lots "of; them
:
They come because books are doors and windows which open into larger
rooms of present, past, future and pure imagination. They come be-
cause reading is fun, and sometimes because they need to know about
frogs and a social studies subject'callEd"political silence:" They
come because they know they are welcome.

"Quack,`. quack, quack," a.id Dxakestait.
Children, just as adults, have,their list of "best sellers."
` And while we!can always be sure of the popularity of Dr. Seuss,
Charlie Brown and anything to do with.monsters or,football,`it is
always interesting to see which new title "made the grade." Spe-
cial favorites this year have been'"Are, You There God? It's Me,
Margaret, by Judy Blume,' Alfred Hitchcock's three'.investigator'
books, "Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH," by Robert O'Brien and
"Frog and Toad are Friends," by Arnold Lobel. "Domenic," by
William Steig, was the librarian's favorite. Of older, delights,
Encyclopedia' Brown, "Charlotte's Web" and the Laura Ingalls
Wilder books remain tried and true.

This is the year in which children's.room circulation figures
passed two milestones --229000 books in a month (which happened twice)
and, in November, 23,000. We know that we have done more things, we
'have often felt incredibly busy --and this is one of the places where
it shows.

The children's department is always' happy to schedule classes of
visiting schoolchildren. The nature of the visit depends on the age
of the group, sometimes on its size, and always on what the teacher,
has in mind.
This year, by summer vacation -time, we had already exceeded last
year's total,.of 51,.class visits; by December's end, the number was
doubled. Most of the groups have been local and outlying primary
grades jone was from as far 'away as Si*rney), but we have been
pleased also -to include the retarded children from Nelson and Pine
schools among our very regular visitors.

ture, and directions for hatching eggs in an electric skillet. Like
everything else this year,these loans' have, grown tremendously, and
the 1971 total was surpassed in October. A number -of -books count was

Last spring, when we began thinking in terms`of summer programs,
we chose
to, do away with our usual registration of,vacation-time
readers 'and ;to replace it with a schedule that did something. We
chose also to think.along three particularlines: '1. Programming
for the very young. 2. Programming for the: disadvantaged; 3. '
Programning,that encouraged, participation by the --child.•;(We filled
our calendar to the point that only five days during the 'entire sum-
mer were free'of special activity. Also :for the first time; we
began a cooperative.program with the recreation center, and sent a
storyteller'and our puppeteers regularly to each of the supervised
playgrounds.' The entire playground staff met.with us to discover
what material and services we could offer. All in all, our summer
involved
Pre-school story hours
Day care story hours
Headstart story; hours
Nelson ``school visits
Pine school visits '(some instructionally programmed)
Talks by authors,,a geologist, a stamp man, and the
state archaeologist
Magic show°by youngster'

Our story hour base was broadened this year with the addition
of foreign students and student 'wives who come to, share their folk-

Bonnie Orgren and 'Monica Leo, continued their monthly shows during
the school year, and performed at Iowa City's supervised playgrounds
during the summer. In the fall,' when Mrs. Leo became their.only
leader, we gave the group, guidelines which included types us shows
and behavior desired; but also offered them,pop "on the house" at
their practice sessions.
"The Shrinking of Treehorn," "Punch and Judy," and "How Boots Be
fooled the King" were among the puppet plays of 1972.

More and more we try to have projects in which the children
themselves can participate, and that we can share with others. The
puppet stage, Imade chiefly for those who, have to wait for parents, is
fun for. those who.use it,and those,whowatch.
Bookmark designs are submitted by, children, and two of the pic
-
tures'are'selected each month to"be reproduced in quantity. The poli-
tical campaign
,.period was marked by the use of a ballot box in which
voters indicated which book character they would like to`be president--
and why. (We still enjoy the one whibh.opted for::Robin°Hood "because
he took from the rich and gave to the poor, but he didn'ttake too
much.") Book Week'in mid-November' provided stories written by chil-
dren to fit.silly:opening sentences. And at Christmas time, the
younger children from Pine School strung' popcorn' for our: decorations,
and all children wrote New Years wishes ("I wish all the people on
earth would have Model `T's.")
Our ideas were shared during four story and craft workshops, and
by sending some to the "Aardvark," a publication of the; Iowa State
Traveling Library.

seconded by Mr. Corrigan. Motion unanimously carried.
Mr. Meardon then called for any public attending the 'meeting to address the
committee. Ms: Janet Shipton, 826 Woodside Drive,, Iowa City,,Iowa, stated
the following:-
a.''She 'supports the full-time manager as essential to the smooth -running
of a city. the ,size of Iowa City..
b. -Under the weak -mayor ,,system, too much policy is being generated by
staff Wand too little by the council and a'strong 'mayor wouldbe more
likely to provide policy leadership.
c. That one factor for a person' considering to run for -mayor might be to
decide whethertheycould get,' along' with the city manager.
d. That there should be ward representation to encourage wider participa-
tion in the election process
e. That five wards would open the primary elections to.more groups with
less financialbacking.
f. That at -large candidates be nominated for a particular seat.
g. That at -large members should be 'paid considerably more than the ward.
members if a mixed system is decided on.
h. '' That at=large'councilmen should be given an'area of concern in which
he should read the staff material in detail (for example: finance,
public safety,` streets).
is That place of residence` should hot be a requisite for ward representation
within a city of this size.'
Nis. Shipton then called for any questions from the committee. Mr. Meardon
thanked' her for her presentation., Mr. Ringgenberg asked Ms. Shipton to elaborate
on her point about candidates running for particular seats, and she stated that
seats might be numbered.
Mrs. Cain then asked what advice to give the public when asked on what meeting
to come to in order to address the committee. Mr. Meardon stated that, as far
as he was concerned the could
Y give a presentation at .either meeting. It was
also decided that the Thursday night meetings would be taped,
• Mr. Meardon then read a letter from Councilman Czarnecki to the Charter Committee
regarding personal observations on functions of government. Mr. Meardon directed

not vote for the charter because of this. He stated that Section 1.01 and
1.02 could be combined or possibly no sections, just Article I. Mr.;Corrigan
stated that he.would recommend.that Section 1.03 be left.in'the charter. He
also suggested some type of additions possible in the charter. Mr. Ringgenberg
stated that arpossible preamble or introductory statement of some kind might
be a'•good idea. :Mrs. Cain stated that she liked the idea of a preamble to the
_.. charter..
Mr. Corrigan then moved that the Committee should have a preamble for the
charter. Mrs. 'Cain seconded.the motion. Motion unanimously carried.
Mrs. Cain asked if Section 1.03 or any similar section specifically related
to intergovernmental relations was important. legally.'. sir. Ringgenberg stated

Mr. Meardon commended the new law review article from Drake University, dealing
- with the background of legislation, with,a lot citations and suggested that;the
Committee obtain a copy.
Mr. Rosenstein suggested that the preamble be started on. Mr. Meardon suggested
that all ofthe Committee members come up.with one or two points that it should
include. Mrs: Davidsen stated that she thought the Committee should wait until
they, had gone over this entire process. Committee decided to wait as suggested.
Article II -Section 2.01 --Committee discussed wards and terms of office on
council. Committee decided, to go around the table witheachmember expressing
his or her personal belief as to what Article II, Section 2.01, which pertains
to the composition, eligibility, election, and terms of the City Council,
should provide. It ,was made very clear that the opinions expressed at this time
would not bind any Committee members, or the Committee, and that the view points
could be changed at any time. Dir. Corrigan stated that he liked seven on the
Council, in favor of one two-year term and six four-year terms, so that each'.
time four people came up for 'election. Mrs. Cain stated that she was for seven
council members but this would depend on the possibility of wards. She stated
that she favored at least a majority of council elected at -large. Mr. Ringgenberg
stated that presently he favors a council of seven members, one members being
the mayor, who would be elected by the voters. He further stated that the
council might,be larger. Mr. 'Knight stated that he did not want to see the
council be too big and that he could go along with seven and that the number
would depend on the number of wards used. :He further stated that the mayor
should be elected by the voters. Mrs. Davidsen stated she was for ,seven
council members if .the elections were at -large mayor elected separately,
and for nine if there were wards. She further stated that she favored
candidates running for specific seats. Mr. Welt stated that he believed
that five is -,a workable number but that seven was not much more of a change
than five. He stated that he favored seven. Mr. Welt further stated that
he likes Mr.;Corrigan's earlier proposal of seven council' members, four being
elected 'at -large and three from wards. Mr. DeCounter stated that he was for
seven councilseatsno matter if there were at -large elections or wards. He
stated.that nine was too many members to get the job done.. Mr. Meardon
stated, that he favored a council of seven members, four being elected at -large
_-and.three by ,wards. He stated that he a reed;,with Ms; Shipton,
that the
g P
ward representative did not need to reside in that ward. He'further stated
that he,favored staggered terms with the wardrepresentatives being elected
every two years and .the at -large council members having four-year terms.
Mr. DeCounter stated 'that he;:would like to:bring in the present city,,council
members individually to findr'out what problems they were having and,how input
flowed under the present system Mr.' Corrigan suggested that past council
g
members'; also be brought. in. .Discussion followed and the Committee decided to
invite these people to, come to a committee meeting. It was also decided that
the first invitation would go to Mayor Brandt for the Charter Committee meeting
of February 21,-1973._ Mr. Rosenstein was directed to prepare a copy of council
members serving Iowa City,Under the.council-manager-at-large form for the -meet-
ing of:February 15,'1973. Mrs. Davidsen stated that the Committee;might,be
1 criticized for this action and that it should balance this with other consider-
ations, also spending time with people with innovative ideas. Mrs. Cain
suggested that the Committee might want to talk to a city administrator who
has; had considerable experience.
Discussion next centered around whether the Committee should be swayed by
public opinion or whether it should come up with a proposal that they felt
was best for Iowa City and then sell the proposal' to the public.
Mr. Corrigan stated that there is the possibility of using newspaper ballots
to judge public opinion as had been brought up by Mr. Oaks, a professional
consultant. Mr. Meardon stated that this would result in special interest
groups sending in numerous ballots.
The meeting was adjourned by the Chairman at 5:55 P.M.

to deal with this important subject as a whole Committee.
Mr. Ringgenberg questioned why the Committee was using the Model
City Charter since most decisions to be made depended on the
basic form of government the Committee chooses. Mr. Ringgenberg
further stated that the Committee should decide what kind of things
it wants in the Charter. The Committee decided to use the Model
City Charter at least for this meeting.

• Section 2.02, Com osition and Ex eases of the Council. Mr.
Corrigan asked if the Committee decided to raise the council's
compensation whether the actual decision would have to be made
by the present city council since an increase in the council's
compensationicould not become effective during the term in which
the increase was.adopted and thus it could, not be done by the
next city council operating under a new city charter:
Several of the Committee members expressed the desire to have
increased council compensation and to provide a mechanism
which would take the burden off the council for raising their
own salaries:
Mrs. Cain asked if it was legal to pay at -large council members
more than ward council members.
Mr. Baldus stated that the .following -phrase -could be>included
at the end of Section 2,02.' "The Councilshall appoint a -
Commission,of -five people and they shall'be known as the Council
Compensation Commission which, shall meet from time to time and
recommend to council the salaries the council shall be paid
which shall be.,commensurate with 'their responsibilities as
informed policy makers for the,.city'.and.the time they devote, to
this task." .'Mr. Corrigan stated that he had.devised a similar
addition to section 2:02 which reads, "By ordinance the:council
shall in:consultation with,the Iowa City, City Compensation,
ommission, prescr
Cibe the :comp ensation:.." Mr. Corrigan slated
that this commission would,review other city officier's salaries.
Several of the ;Committee members expressed the desire to submit
committee comments following each Charter item so as to give
a better understanding of the City Charter.
Discussion was next,held on the possibility of writing something
into the'%Charter which would increase the council's compensation
and then allowing the council.,to set subsequent compensations
by; council ordinance. Mr. Baldus stated that this procedure,
called a schedule, is often used in the writing of state
constitutions'.
Discussion was held on whether the amount of the salary would
make a difference in the type of people that would run for the
city council.
It was moved by Mr. Corrigan, and seconded by Mr. Baldus that the
Chair appoint a sub -committee to study the area of compensation`.
The motion carried 8-0 with Mrs: Davidsen abstaining. (Mrs.'
Davidsen'had just arrived). Mr. Meardon appointed Mr. Baldus,
Mr. Knight, and Mr. Welt to the sub -committee.

• Several of the Committee.members thought it would be a good 'idea
to have individual council members set aside a regular time to
be.down;at the Civic Center and available to anyone who wanted to
come down to discuss policy ,issues. It was felt that this would
make the council more available. It was also felt by a few of
the Committee members, that this might take some of the pressure
off having a ward system becausepeople: might have better access
to individual council members.
Section 2.03, Mayor. Mr.' Meardon asked the Committee how many
3f them felt the mayor should be elected separately.
Mr. Ringgenberg stated that he did on one-condition,.that being
that the powers of .the 'mayor are only policy leading powers.and
not executive powers. Mr. 'Corrigan agreed' with Mr. Ringgenberg
on this. Mrs. Davidsen stated that this was especially so with
combination a lection by:wards and at-large.--Mr..Baldus stated
that
Ringgenberg's..view and he stated that .there
was a provision in the National Municipal League's Charter which
' dealt with the policy -administration issue, applying to a city
manager inquiiriesrand investigationsunder"
ndersecto a mayor. It tion
for the purpose of
section 2.09' -the council or
its members. shall deal with city officers and employees who are subject
to the direction and supervision of the manager solely through, the
manager,,and neither the councilinor its',members'shall give :orders
to.any such officer or employee, either, publicly or privately.
The Committee went around the table expressing their opinions
as, to whether there should be an elected mayor., The Committee
' unanimously expressed that at this time they'favored'the election
of the mayor by the voters.
Discussion next centered around the Kammerer article on
- elected;mayors in Florida, 'a' synopsis' of which was distributed to
the Committee by Mr..Rosenstein. Mr. Baldus'asked Mr. Rosenstein
if: there had been a provision in these cities which protected
the administration from council meddling..' Mr. Rosenstein stated
that ,Kammerer had not mentioned whether,such a provision had been
in effect in Florida. He further stated that his research has
shown that there have been studies which have shown that elected
mayors interfere with the administration and others which show
that the elected mayor and 'manager form a team. Several of the
Committee members stated that it would be very important that the
mayor's and the manager's role bewelldefined. The Committee felt
this could be done, in both the charter and in the charter comments.
Mr. Baldus said that this type of commentary was on Page 18 of the
National Municipal League's Model City Charter.

February 16, 1973
• Discussion was .held on whether the Charter Committee_ wanted a
city ,manager for Iowa, City. Several members of the committee
stated that they had not been persuaded that the problem in
Iowa City, is based upon the fact that Iowa City has a city
manager or that another form of government would work better
than a council-manager er form. Ms.:Douglass suggested that the
Committee look into a.strong-mayor with an administrative
assistant. Mr. Corrigan stated that if Iowa City goes the route
of a professional administrator that this position should be
given the safeguards from meddling which would not happen with
a strong mayor. There was also the problem of what happens if
there was a bad mayor who would be in charge of administration
for four years, whereas if there was a bad city manager he could
be fired at anytime.
Mr. Baldus, Mr. Corrigan, Mr. Knight, Mr. Welt, Mrs. Cain,
Mr. DeCounter,'Mr. Meardon and Mrs. Davidsen expressed that they
a:city manager form o
presently favored'retainingf government.
Several.of the members said they either wanted, to weaken the
manager,' or, strengthen the council in the policy making procecities
Mr. Ringgenberg stated to the Committee that with home -ruler
in Iowa now. had options as ,to what the powers and duties of the
manager should be.
Discussion was next held on the International, City Management Asso
-
ciation'and`what its role is..
General discussion followed concerninq giving the council a staff
and office space and in institutionalizing these changes Mr.
DeCounter stated that an.attempt°should be made to ,get the council
and the City;staff'to work closer together.
Mr. Corrigan made the.suggestion that there could be a citizens'
committee involved in the hiring of the city manager. Discussion
followed on what the manager's` qualifications 'should be and if ;
there should be something in the charter specifying, the
qualifications. The Commit generally expressed that there should
be no written qualifications in the charter but that there might
be some general qualifications listed in the comments.
General discussion next centered around the hiring practices for the
City and the relationship that the Civil Service Law and the City's
affirmative action program had on these practices. Mr. Corrigan

around the appointment of the city attorney. Mr. heacity attorne
that he felt the city manager should not appoint the city Y

Mr. Baldus.stated that the city attorney'hacsiderarole ble council'

opinion.. Several of the Committee members felt that, both the

of any plans to remove parking privileges on Sycamore Street.
Our main reasons are as follows:
1 . We have many children in our area who are of preschool and
elementary school age. If no parking is approved .we feel the
speed of traffic will increase and thereby make it more danger-
ous for crossing the street for ;school -or- other , activities.
2. A number of people in this area, young and old, walk to the
Mall and must cross Sycamore Street.
3. It is necessary for many families to have two cars since both
husband and wife work. As "a result it is necessary at times
to park one car in the street. Since the street is wider than
most streets there never exists any real traffic tie ups .
4. A dangerous situation already exists at the entrance of th -Mal-1.
from; Sycamore Street. Removing parkingautomatically
increases speed, and therefore accidents would be more -

Re: Requested Rezoning by S. W. Strauss
Gentlemen:
Public hearing on the above Toning request has been
set for hearing at your council meeting on Tuesday', Feb-
ruary 27, at 4 o'clock P.M. The City Planning P, Zoning
Commission recommended to you that this zoning request be
granted. This property would :be used by Capitol Oil Com-
pany and Capitol Propane Gas Company, Inc, presently lo-
cated at 729 South Capitol Street to relocate its'facil-
ities. The lease on the existing facilities has been
terminated and there presently is a legal action on file
requesting the immediate removal of these companies from
such property.
Accordingly it respectfully requested that this
ordinance be passed and that all three readings of the or-
dinance be given at this meeting. In talking to the City
Attorney it is my understanding that the ordinance has
been prepared for your action. ]Tither Mr. Strauss or my-
self or both will be present at the meeting to answer any
inquiries. Thank you for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,

When you consider the "noise ordinance"o we would like
for you to imcorporate a section in it which prohibits
semi -trucks from travelling on non-hiway streets between
7200 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.. By having such a provision the
noise level will be much improved at a time when it is

I would like to meet and talk with you, at your convenience,
about the proposed TENANT -LANDLORD CODE FOR IOWA CITY, introduced

appears in THE DAILYYIDWAN.
If you do not have a copy of the proposed ordinance, I.will
be happy to supply you with one.
�r

or in writing, about the time and place we can get together.
It should take`no'more than 30 minutes of your time.
I await your reply.

During 1973 Project GREEN is working on three projects which
express_its long range goals of improving the entrances to Iowa City
and making this community a more pleasant place to live and visit:
(1) In order to enhance the newly constructed Gilbert Street
.entrance to Iowa City, we would like to provide,trees and shrubs to
complement the'ci.ty's street tree planting plan. We'expect''to make
.use of rights. of,_way:as they are available,.as.well as any other
adjoining areas suitable for planting. We shall be.working in coop -
Teratic n with citizens owning property in'the 'area as well as in con-
Junctioncity's P on city property.
with the cit plan for tree planting
(2) Project GREEN proposes.to establish two portable small
parks in the downtown business district; With the city's help in
filling cellar holes and with the Urban Renewal Office's assistance
in providing planters, we:will.provide trees,, appropriate flowers,
benches, possibly even a modest fountain, to create a'refreshing
welcoming oasis for downtown visitors. The proposed design will be
coordinated with city plans and will, we hope, make a positive con--
tribution to the visual environment.
(3) We would like to provide a GREEN machine, a small, street
cleaning vehicle to help keep downtown, streets and pedestrian areas
clean and tidy, encouraging a new fresh look for the CBD.
In addition to these new projects, we shall be tending the
planting beds in Chauncey Swan Plaza. After the tulip season,
summer blooming annuals will be planted and tended by volunteers.
We shall need the city's help in providing certain services
related to fill, park construction, watering of trees and operation
of the GREEN machine. We look forward to your cooperation on these
ventures which we feel can establish a new level of expectation and
enjoyment in the urban environment.

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.l. which reads
as follows:
C-7301. Proposed change to Zoning Code 8.10.16C concerning bulk
storage of liquidpropane. ,
Mr. :Galiher-moved,.'seconded by Mrs..-Davidsen, to; recommend to the
City,, Council, adoption of ,.the amendment to Section 8.10.16C of
the Zoning Code. The motion carried unanimously. The:Commissoners `.
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.B. 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 wasjater removed,
the City would still have considerable' control over whatever
might be located in that area because, as indicated in the Zoning
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
M2ZoneUse 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
-• said on behalf of ,the recommendation to approve the request.
Mr. Lambert explained that the M2 zone would be basically'
harmoniouswith those uses permitted in 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. She 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 furtherdiscussion, Mr. Galiher moved, seconded by Mrs.
Davidsen, to Irecommend 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
,proposed change in the zoning ordinance concerning bulk storage
of ,liquid 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. LarryWaters, Vice President of Court Crest, Inc., spoke in
favor 'of'the 'rezoning 'and outlined the following,reasonsrwhy -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 #l, which will remain RlB, 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.

COMMENTS ON DRAFT OF ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT STATEMENT FOR FREEWAY 518
i'
Date: February 27,`1973
Prepared'by: Ray S. Wells, City Manager:'
Ralph E.,Speer, Jr., Director of Public Works
George R. Bonnett, Acting City Engineer
Dennis R. Kraft, Director of Community Development
First of all it.should be pointed °out that for the past ten years,
or since 1962, there has been discussion of the need for a bypass
around the southwest side of Iowa City by the Iowa;Highway'Commis-`
sion,.the City ,of Iowa City, the University of Iowa and other
affected governmental agencies. Within; the past six months it
has been the City Council's position that it wasextremelyim-
portant that this project be started and that such a bypas•s;be
constructed now rather than delayed even ''further. Not only. is
'this delay'causing increased traffic "congestion on streets within,
.the corporate limits of Iowa; City, '.but 'it is fairly: obvious that
with the passage of time there is a.continuing,increase in'the,
cosf
t 'of a"highway facility.
Itis extremely important to, keep in mind that withthe Univ,ers.ty;
of Iowa'`s development`°of a-state=wide medical'complex'`on the`we�.
side campus it becomesincreasingly important :to provide quicx o.
easy access to the University Hospitals located hereiin Iowa
'This'can'best.be achieved through 'conven ent;access from a bypsss
around,the southwest.side of. Iowa City such as is proposed wirr.
the construction of Freeway 518.
In reviewing the draft document and the 'additional comments ,',-
have been prepared by various individuals the staff would subr.=-r.
' thefollowing statements for consideration by ,the City Council.
1. On pages 7 through 12 considerable reference was mads
reports prepared by the Johnson County'Regional Plann:.:-
Commission., The impression is given that the various
studies and data included in this Environmental Impac;
Statement had been approved by ,the Planning Commission.
Clarification should be made so'as to'point out that the
data which the Highway Commission refers to was really `
the form oftechnical papers and memoranda that were pre-
cared either by the staff of the Regional' Planning Commission
or by the Policy and/or Technical Committees working on the
Area Transportation Study. No implication should be malt'
that the information contained in those reports has been
accepted by, either the Planning Commission or by any of
the governmental ,agencies, -especially the City of ;Iowa
City. In addition,.it'is suggested_ that each of the re
ports used as reference material should be footnoted and
included in the bibliography found on page 60 of the
Impact Statement.
r
^a .
',2 On page 14 there 6e made to-:channel change"s"that
`
would be required in the construction of the ":roadway. It:
is our feeling that these: changes are ;not particularly'
significant `and Any changes to the channels would be re-
' viewed`by,the ;Iowa:Natural Resources .Council `and ;approved
by them if the watershed'drainage area exceeded two square
miles.
S Some: discussion was held on page 30 concerning the impact
".
of noise caused by traffic on the proposed freeway.
Whilethere are no major residential developments taking
place now along <the `east side ofFreeway518 between Iowa
Highway -11 and Melrose"Avenue, nonetheless it is felt
desirable toplan 'for the planting of vegetation along this
area so as to reduce the impact ofvehicular noise on
residential properties that might develop in that area at
some time in the future'.
4. In the section on-'fire protection discussed on the bottom
' of page 31 .it is' pointed' out that f ire. protection for ,the
rural area outside of`Iowa 'City would 'be+provided through,
contract with the City's Fire Department. The City of Iowa
City does not ,provide ;fire 'service.outside;of its corporate
'limits' except-on a"sp eci'al mutual-aid'arrangement'with the
City,' of'Coralville. It is not felt 'that;there.would be.%
" detrimental effects to the property on the west side of
i'
Freeway 518 and within"the corporatelimits of 'Iowa City
through the construction of the.propos,ed freeway. This
property, could still be served,by the Iowa'City Fire
Department.
'
5. - There"'is a brief discussion of alter' tives,to the pro-
„
posed :'design`.of Freeway, 518 found on.,pages 37 through 43.
It is our feeling„that,'�ever alternative that the Highway
'Commi'ssion reviewed shoury e listed within the Impact
Statement but not,'discussed in great detail,.,` By, simply
,}
;'listing all oftt e;,alternatives that were reviewed' it
would provide for a more comprehensive understanding of
the complete' analysis which the Highway Commission` design
personnel investigated prior to arriving at the present
proposed alignment as the most desirable one to build.
6. On page 43 reference is made.to the 'fact that as development
occurs along the proposed project corridor it iscurrently
not subject to 'zoning regulations. Actually, this 'state-
ment is in error since all rural areas along the corridor,
in`Johnson County are subject to the provisions of the
Johnson County Zoning Ordinance.
7. It is felt that the section found on page 49 discussing
the total Freeway 518 project as it pertains to the overall
freeway and 'highway system 'should be expanded. Specifically,
discussion should be carried out in further detail as to
the impact that a major north-south highway facility will
have on eastern' Iowa by providing a'through link from
-2-
-3-
Minneapolis,%Minnesota, to St: Louis,. Missouri.. It mustl
'be kept in mind that the ,Freeway 518 segment 'that is located
within Johrison County and.
-,within City on the south
west is an extremely important link in the entire highway
network system.
8. A minority report from the policy and Technical Committee
of the Area Transportation rStudy 'indicated `that the pro-
posed freeway would have -a serious effect on the Secondary
;?
Road Department of Johnson County. Specifically,; it made
reference to 'a possible reduction in'Road Use Tax funds to
the county. It is our feeling that this particular comment
I...
is not pertinent to an evaluation of the construction of
such a highway. For many years the municipalities.;in Iowa
have received far less than their fair share of revenue
- from the Road Use Tax. Fund to support not,;only maintenance
operations but also the construction of new facilities.
9. The comment has been made that considerable. mileage will'
have to be constructed by Johnson -County as .a result of
the proposed freeway. ,Again, it should be;pointed 'out
that the City of'Iowa 'City is -in the same situation but
we do not view this as a_problem. In fact, specific plans
'
have alreadylbeen`made by the City to accomodate for the
improvementof facilities that would be, directly affected
i
_by the.cons_truction of Freeway:518. 'In particular, on the
south side of Iowa City U.S. 218 is already under construction
and will be':widened•'toa; four -,lane facility: so as to
accomodate the traffic .off of.the proposed interchange at
'Freeway 518 and U.S. 218. In 'similar fashion, the 'City
is planning..,to widen and'pave',that portion of Melrose
'
Avenue from the proposed interchange with Freeway 518
east to the present.four=lane divided section on Melrose '
Avenue'. , The.City is also making plans, in conjunction with
the Universityof Iowa, for the improvement of Melrose
-Avenue from te east side of University He to its
intersection with Riverside Drive.
10. It is the staff's position that the modification to
„ Mormon Trek Boulevard will not have a significant effect<
ithe movement of traffic in a north -south direction and ,
n ght even facilitate';the movement of traffic
utilizing that particular road.
11. The question has been raised in regard to the impact on
the Iowa City Municipal Airport by the construction of
the 518 Freeway. It should be pointed out that the Muni-
cipal Airport is alr�eadyy restricted and bounded by highways,
rivers, and topograp The staff has reviewed possible
expansion of the Airport in the past and 'concluded that it
was not feasible or desirable to extend the length of any
of the runways. -Furthermore, :with the discussion underway
of some type of regional airport it isnot considered that
funds should be used to expand the Iowa City Airport. In
other words, 'since this airport is already restricted the
construction'.of Freeway 518 would have no adverse effect on
the airport:
-3-
` 12.- there is in fact'concen about the `fuel crisis and
.If
making'.more efficient use of other transportation;aystems'
as is: mentioned in -;one of..ithe drafts -by' a reviewing agency
it appears to us that this, is a matter requiring an '
:then
' energy policylevel to be set at the national level and
not "by`representatives of the City of Iowa City`or'this
particular area.
13. --Although the sewage lagoon presently serving the Johnson'
County Home will''have to be relocated it is our under-
standing that the'Highway Commission would be constructing
a new lagoon for -them. If, however, the 'County Home, or
other affected residents desire to have,sewer.service pro-
vided by the 'City of Iowa City itwould be possible to con-
struct a sewer from the existing Lift Station located in
the Hawkeye Apartment complex westerly along 'the Clear
Creek watershed to servethis property. It should be kept
in mind, however, that the property owners would be re-
quired to;.pay for'the cost of such a`sewer line in accordance
with the previously established City's policy on extension
of sewer services:_
In.conclusion it is the staff's feeling that the above mentioned
comments should be forwardedto'"the Iowa; Highway Commission and
' :included ' -in an Environmental "Impact Statement,; which they; must sub-
mit in accordance with their requirements for. preparing such Impact
r.
Statements. Over all'it is our fee ling "that the beneficial aspects
of the proposed Freeway 5lVproject should be stressed in the report
as well as the negative on'e.s which do exist in',some instances. In
summary, we would simply reiterate.the `City Council's position adopted
in August of 1972, that the,proposed construction of Freeway. 518 be
started as soon as possible and carrie'd'out to. an early completion.
