Staff Present: Rosenstein
Mr..Meardon.called the meeting to order at 4:00 P.M.
Councilman Hickerson, present at this meeting, stated the follow-
ing in response to questions asked him:
Hoursinvolved in Council duties vary greatly I from yeek
to week, month.to.month. .He spends a;minimum�.of four,,to, six -hours
ak
wee �,related
'.tq:TTuesday iday,Council.meetings.,... .From this -base-
,on,'he gets'intoa w'de:variety, of situations '(trips w1th'staff
research, etc.). Mayor spends a great deal more time;
2., �,Her ee s'rihai: should Maiyor because
the: Council:s ou
(a) the citizenry thinksthat an elected. Mayor is: endowed with more
powers 'than a I Mayor elected by Council'(b) He thinks,that' an at -large
el,ected.Mayor and �the.: Council would. be more' apt -to have conflicts
which; he does n '..t think J s, too hea lthy, and , (c) . The Mayor, . if
�elected by the Councili is quite'.clearly'the majority of the
Council's choice, which means that there is a pattern (he serves by
.,virtue of having been chosen by the Council).
; . -largin 'the Council makes good sense:
3.'
He ��thinks that;:�en 9
but would be skeptical about raising it beyond seven; an increase
from five to seven is.a little overdue because (a) a five -member
Council can be troublesome at timesin terms of an absence of one
imembert-fi(b)the:Council has'not worked as'much as it might,by
committees in part because of its size.
4.! He thinks that the manager'form ofgovernment is the,
only:sound form for Iowa City'based.,on.his experience.
5. He.feels that undue emphasis is being given to the
overburdening role of the staff in policy.
The three ways that
Council considers policy are from: (a) matters brought by the
Mayor or other members of the Council, (b) people of the community,
and (c) from the city staff and boards and commissions. He feels
that to assume that just because a matter comes through the manager's
office that it has been influenced, is "poppycock."
6. He doesn't think the nature of the election makes any
difference as far as public going to Council with their problems
or concerns. He doesn't think, that
an elected Mayor will receive
• any more calls than a Mayor selected by the,Council.
7. He feels that wards can lead to dangerous assumptions
He doesn't feel that groups that aren't represented now.would be
represented under the ward system.
8.He feels that.there are certain groups that aren't
represented.(no woman on the Council)
• Iowa City Charter Committee Page 2
February 28, 1973
9. He thinks it extremely risky to find mechanisms to
i
(a) reduce the 'advocacy of the staff or ( b ) accentuate the advo-
cacy of individuals or organized groups.
10. He doesn't feel any 'extra secretarial or research
staff necessary, he depends on ,City Hall for`.that.
11. ,He feels that the salary for the Council members
should be more realistic for the nature Iof time spent in a
highly volunteer service. He wouldbe reluctant to see it go
too high.
12." The use of Council Committees makes sense to him and
a reason why the Council should be enlarged. He would agree to
certain standing committees (Financial Planning, Social Programs,
etc.)
13. Alternatives are very often a part of staff advocacy.
He feels 'that .Council is as much to blame for not instructing
staff as to this.
14. He thinks they may be coming to the point where they_„ .
have.to choose between the highly centralized responsibility of
the,:Cou.cil,';and 'more broadiv Aelegated authority among boards and
commissions:'
4 p
15. He feels that research assistance;: mi ht be help
ful--
wouldn't rule it`out.
16. He feels iti necessary for City Attorney to attend
every Council meeting.
17. He's not sure"that•recall provisions cause continuity
and. stability in, -city Igovernment. If there is a recall, provision,
it should not be easily instituted.
18.He feels a Councilman's term should be four years.
19. He has no objection toinitiative and referendum.
20. `He .is 'leere of things that people look`,to. as broader
solutions than they are. He feels that the ideal goal is a'city
government composed of 'council and a Mayor and manager and department
heads, who are so'good`you don't need an ombudsman.
21. He would perhaps use office space at the Civic Center
from time to time butnot routinely. He feels that it has been
unfortunate that independent councilmen could not have a place to
meet -with the public other than at the Council meetings.
Mr. Meardon thanked Mr. Hickerson for his presentation.
Mr. Baldus urged that the Committee get independent legal approval
of the Charter before it goes to the City Attorney.
Meeting was adjourned at 5:40 P.M.

have had several meetings on the subjectofthe home rule charter.
At.their meeting two complaints were heard ,most:
1. 'The present form of government was not
responsive.
2. The Council was,not involved in,enough policymaking.
ABC then pulled.fromdifferent forms of government and submitted
this form of government for the consideration of the Charter
Committee. (See attached plan) It was also the recommendation of
ABC to give Council members a minimum salary of $400 a`month or
more, and a, full-time Mayor from $18-25,000 a year.
ABC recommended two -year -terms for Council as a psychological
factor to encourage more people to run`.
The Council would be involved in administering policy so that
• policy would not get lost by staff.
Mr. Zajicek stated in closing: that this proposal is a very general
form of government and that various groups submitting input for
any form of government give the Charter Committee a better feel
of the public pulse.

• Auto Crusher Landfill: The staff has been directed by Council
to go,,a ead an draw up a,lease.-. The City has a major problem
getting rid of abandoned automobiles. 'Consequently, the'City
..eels that .it should do everything that it can to help promote
the beginning of such an operation. The contract that will
be drawn up will be with a relatively short time cancellation
la
tion
clause'. Jim Lindberg brought up the point that the Council
is.not 4
not in agreement with the long 'range ,plans that the
Commission has.for South River.
Gene Chubb explained if we go to many other places it would
require rezoning and that is suite a time%delay. ^Healso
stated that the.Council was extremely questioning and impressed
on the point of what would be left, and what will it do to ,the
development that takes place.
Jim Roegiers stated that he had 'talked to Mayor Brandt prior
to the Commission meeting. Mayor Brandt said the lease would
probably be 30 to 60 days, and the term of the lease would'
probably be,3 years with a 30 day cancellation notice. Mayor
Brandt also assured that the Council agreed that if'any.funds.
or,monies are available for that development,`'it will immediately
be'reverted`:to.Park:and the development will;begin.;i, The: Council
accepted this proposal on 'the basis that•somethina had to be
done with the cars, and that it seemed'appropriate'this property
be used for that.
The Mayor also stated that Pat White was opposed because there
'p ested'in this lease aareement
'were ''severaY'other`peo le inter ,
and,.that he thought it ought to be opened.up.ao competitive
bidding.
Jim Roegiers informed the Commission members ,that Jim Lindberg
has been appointed'to the Johnson County;.Recional;.Planning
Commission Open Space Committee. The Johnson County, Regional
Planning Commission has been reorganized and they have become
very interested in the Open Space requirementsfor the Johnson
County region. In the 'past ,.the City of Iowa City has had
minimal representation on that group and they have not had a
voice'quite'as loud as what the 'City -of Iowa;City felt was
necessary. Jim Lindberg,will be a voting member of this
Committee, in an advisory capacity.; They will meet soon so
as to make some decisions about; Kent Park.
Rate Schedule Review: Jim Roegiers, Jim Lindberg, Gene Chubb,.,
and Bob Lee had met with Ray Wells concerning the Fee and Charge
Policy. A variety of things were discussed:- How such.a,plan
should be developed in Iowa City with respect to needs and
desires, what type of a community do we have, are our programs'
proper, etc.

Jim Roegiers stated that it is the Commission's job to recommend
to the Council what fees and charges should be to be.consistent
with our policy. Most of the fees that should be established
will relate directly to the operational costs.
At this time a sub -committee was appointed to review the material
that might be available and then to.make,a summary report back
to the Commission with respec to what these fees might be.
Harry Ostrander will be Chairman of. the Committee with Joan
Buxton and June Davis.. .It was asked that the report from this
Committee be made available at';the ,April 'meeting.
Proqram Review Discussion: Jim.Lindberg introduced Chris'
Edgington who is with t e University Recreation and Education
Department. He discussed:' program appraisal and evaluation.
He believes that in order to do.an effective job of. appraisal
in any organization you.have to have objectives and to be able
to quanify what you are doing so that you can seethe;direction"
that, you are moving. You'- must then begin to operationalize
your objectives. .,If you can't'operationalize them;_,you can't
measure them'effectivel ' and the serve no
Y Y purpose.':
He also discussed a`Leisure Attitude Behavior and Opinion,'
survey which was developed through the'Office of Recreation
and Park Resources at the`University;of Illinois. `It"involves
a survey method of research where you:woulId go into'a community,
develop a random sample of some kind 'and hegin to ask the
community some of the questions in regard ,to your services
with regard to their activity preferences and their'; opinions about
future program development. The survey itself helps -,explore
four things:
1. Demographic data.
2. How'`much`time people have, how they 'spend their time,
when they have their leisure time the vital components
of 'planning leisure.programs.
3. Provide information with regard to leisure behavior -
it'will give the agency an indication'of how people
spend,their leisure time.
4. Provides.your agency with some opinions regarding
the effectiveness and efficiency of your'. department;
also'with'regard 'to future opinions that you have
for development.'
He also indicated that if the Commission considered hiring a
consultant the total cost would be $5,700; however he said
- these costs could be significantly reduced through the use

MembersAbsent: Skip Laitner, Carol Neitderhisar
Staff Present: Craig Sonksen
Others'Present: Paul Poulsen, Press
The meeting,,began.with a discussion with Paul:Poulsen of Midwest
Wrecker and Crane Service concerning his new auto crusher which is
'now located at the old Iowa City'landfill. A discription'of the
operation was given and;discussion.was mainly, - in -the areas'of,possi-
ble noise limitations.of the crusher in relationship to the proposed
noise ordinance, and the implications' of hauling in of junked
vehicles from areas outside of the county. The main reason given for
the use of the old landfill was to.store cars for the thirty,day
required period of holding cars that the;City had hauled off the
city`. streets. These cars would, after the: thirty day period, .be`fed
to the crushers. Mr. Poulsen has a contract with the City for the
use of the landfill which can be terminated by either party by a
30-60 days notice.
John MacBride moved that a letter be written to the City of Iowa City
encouraging the cleaning up`-of.the ,problem of junked autos. Also the
letter will recommend that the following points be stipulated in the
contract between Mr. Poulsen and the City:
I. That a noise stipulation be included in the contract
with the possibility of an application for variance
in the proposed noise ordinance.
? That geographical limitations be set as to the hauling
iii of junked cars from outlying areas. That no cars are
to be hauled in to the crusher from outside Johnson County.
The motion was voted on and passed unanimously.
The letter regarding strict enforcement of the littering laws and
the letter to Representative Stanley were signed by the Commission

League. There was a'question as.to how; much jurisdiction the Planning
and Zoning Commission has over riverfront property. Dennis'Kraft,
Director of the Department of Community Development; stated that one
of the problems that existed was attempting to define the areas of
jurisdiction. The question was basically over the control of land
along the river, and what could be used to prohibit or limit

• development along the river; i.e., whether by zoning or some other
means.
Mr. Kaufman said he believes that anything 'along the river should be
referred to this Commission for opinions; and that there are some things
this Commission should have `the last word on.
Mr.'Madsen asked that since the City Council established the
Commission, were there any specific duties assigned?
Mr; Kaufman then described something he said he has been very concerned
with: On all levels of government - it is well recognized that
river corridors are one of the main sources of enjoyment of
recreation - and all the organizations, are recommending these river
ined now. The `land is there, and if they are not

Mr. Madsen stated that;he believes it is:hopeless to think that
eve 11 be .kept from using all"the land along the, river. in
Johnson County, as it is nota realistic' point of view. He stated that
there will have`to be..a compromise in order to get requirements
and, standards within ;reason and still keep the riverfront the
way Mr.Kaufman:would'like to have`it.
Mrs'. Neuhauser asked if the recommendation of the Commission was
to acquire 150 feet along.both,sides of the river bank all the
way'along?. Mr.Kaufman explained „alo g p d that this depends on the river,
n `
bank.
Dennis Kraft stated that it is important.that an analysis be done
along the river specifically, and then that an inventory be taken.
of what exists. Discussion followed.
Mrs. Neuhauser expressed the thought that a definite plan is
necessary in order to keep things from getting worse.
Dennis Kraft said he believes that a study design outline is
needed. Michael Lambert will have this information for the next
meeting.
Therbeing no further business to be discussed, the meeting was

Gentlemen:
The.,Bikeways Committee of Project GREEN has for several
Years tried to have bicycle routes established in the city
according to.,the Hawkeye Area Bikeway, Plan, accepted by the
City Council in 1969. Part of this plan, envisages a number
of',radial ,routes from the city center and university to
outlying parts. ,Such routes would serve mainly commuter
traffic and in some respects have ,the same, purpose as bus'
routes in ?collecting' people from various regions and funnelling
them into the center of town.
Bicyclists, like cars, can be independent in their
choice of routes;,horever, in general 'hey will 'alto the
most direct and non-hilly roads available. In many cases
these roads are also ones ucod by buses. Such roads are
frequently obstructed by parked cars, making them hazardous
for buses and cyclists.
We therefore suggest that when discussing the removal
of parking on streets used by buses, the Council consider
that some of these streets could ,then also be used as bike
routes (bicycles should of course be Rept off such major
artorials as Burlington Street),'
::e is an iCd: li0lution to t iIL
problem of bicycle routes, but it is one worth o trial. It
is also only possible if narking is removed from certain
streets.

City, Councilmen:
The Protective Association for Tenants wants to register a
negative response to the requested rezoning from RIB to R2 of the
property on Muscatine Avenue as.asked'for by,Courtcrest, Inc.,
(See Agenda, Regular Council Meeting ;of February 27,`19731 Item
20 --as printed and passed out at the Council chambers door.)
Specifically, the beneficiary of such a rezoning will be the
local Iowa City Moose Lodge, who intend to occupy the rezoned
property. Their fraternal organization will be the direct profiteers
of the rezoning approval. In fact the rezoning is a condition for
the sale of the property.
This fact, along with the Moose International's prohibitive
and racially restrictive policies have not been given due consider-
ation by the City Council.
PAT.recommends that the Iowa City Human Relations Commission
be contacted for comments on the requested rezoning.
PAT further urges the City Council to obtain, in writing, as
a condition for the rezoning apprflvall:s* promise that the local
Moose Lodge will never discriminate,: in anyyway whatsoever, as
regards new members or regards any sponsored social events.
This, PAT believes, is the least the City Council should do
in handling requests for changes from groups or organizations whose
record is one of racial bias.

Mr. Tim Brandt, Mayor
Iowa City, Iowa
Mr. Brandt:
Reference is made to our conversation. Friday March 9, 1973
concerning the blocking of crossings in Iowa City. Namely First
avenue and highway 6 bypass.
We want to cooperate with the City on these issues and 'avoid
the least possible inconvenience to the motoring public.
We are going to discontinue having through trainspick up
Iowa City cars off our siding,by.the first avenue .crossing. This.
will help relieve conditbns inthisarea. This will however nec-
essitate blocking Clinton and Dubuque street occasionally,,;when
s necessary for through trains to pick up cars from our yard.
Per our conversation the motorist at these points can
'use alternate
routes.' However, we-will keep this to a minimum and not block any
longer then necessary.
The highway 6 Bypass crossings have been discussed with all
concerned and we will keep all snitching over this crossing to a
minimum during the peak traffic hours of 12 noon and the 4 to bpm
rush hour,
The crossings discussed at Kirkwood, Highland and Benton will
be flagged by a man from the ground when shoving cars over these
crossings. There also will be -a man riding the lead 'car operating'
the air whistle to'warn 'motorist. When the engine is in the lead
over these crossing the engine whistle will be operated freely to
warn motorist..
Trusting you concur with the above, we remain,.
/Very truly yours
W. D. Cramer, agent

The meeting was set to discuss removalofparking and
development standards for 'public works improvements.
Concerning parking the City Manager, Ray Wells, commented
on a letter he received suggesting use of bus routes as bikeway
system. Councilman White asked the thinking; on the time 'factor
instead of across the board prohibition, just' during: hour s' of
bus operation: The Staff proposed 24 hour no parking cit'
ing
oost'for signs and inconvenience to residents anyway with'6 AM
to 6 PM prohibition. ,Councilman Hickerson agreed only,i.f,park- '
ing was not removed from both sides of`a street, and he suggested,.
that the change occur at a -;time -of minimum'confusion`May or
during the summer, with a consistent pattern .such a.s:removal on
north or west. 'sides:of.all: :street s,. Councilman Czarnecki men -
bb tioned that very few people have objected in writing;"to the
removal;of parking, 'councilman White commented that there was
no necessity :to remove as much parking as suggested. He'stated
1ity:of look'ing.at'
that he felt stronglyabout the desirabi
each street in terms of a set of broad policy, guidelines, and
stated .that the Council would be 'altering what they've done
historically in terms of development, also in the .6*
we needed parking alternatives.`
Mayor Brandt suggested a compromise, removing
arterials on, both sides, but only on one 'Side of Director of Public.,Works of theroutes. Ralph Speer advised ,that he could pre-
pare a report concerning' parking removal for the three catagories
Of )) arterials, 2) arterials -bus routes and 3) bus -routes. The
Council discussed bikeways -and decided to look at bikeways,
calendar parking and street storage after bus routes and>arter-
ials were considered. Councilman' Czarnecki` discussed evening
parking` and suggested that the staff come up with alternatives
to the blanket proposal --a formula for access when there is no
Possible place to park.
The City Manager noted that discussion of Design Standards
was on the agenda for the regular meeting and he expected some
of the developers to attend, the meeting.- He stated that the only
problem so far concerned the additional width of streets. Mayor
Brandt questioned assessment procedures and the • City, Manager responded that the abutting owner would be assessed for
311f the City's responsibility would start from there.

the Civil Rights Commission complaint of discrimination.', tion.', The
-City Manager explained that this was the .initial answer to
get within ,the ten day time frame, and that we were not
to reply to all charges at this time. The City Attorney'.in-
dicated that it would not be proper for individual response
by Councilmen'.
City.Manager'Ray Wells reported on cooperative intergov-
ernmental efforts previously, considered in Johnson County,
specifically a facility for joint law enforcement, noting that
it'would be a functional consolidation, not a political.con-
solidation such as merging. He -explained :_ that the Director of
Public,. Safety >Dave'Epstein' had'been investigating ,the'desir-
ability for consolidation ofjoint use of communication systems,
records and joint use o£ manpower'in invest' ions, an had
discussed these ideas with the Sheriff and Coralville indiv-
iduals ,to see if they were -interested in some't
effort. The `City Manager requested Council reactionforoinb
questions. Councilman,Hickerson-noted that a preliminary
step would be in the direction of, clarifying,:who is in charge.
The City Manager advised that .,of
step would-be specific
arrangements such as sharing,a communications system, which
could be placed under a Board jointly; responsible to all. The
Council discussed cooperation on a route basis;. involvement
of University or Highway Patrol; reciprocalr.Fire;Agreements'
(we have 8 governmental agency agreements) and Emergency
operations Board. Mr. Epstein mentioned that problems cut
across, political boundaries daily, Mr. Wells:pr000sed that

1. Iowa City has under state and city law Council -;Manager form of
government. The City Manager is the chief administrator and his
duties are set ,out by state law (Chapter 363C Code of Iowa)and :City
ordinance (copy enclosed). Whether.or'not there is a Director of
Employment Relations is not relevant. .
2. It is alleged that "the employment pay scale and job classifi-
cation scheme relegates women and minorities to the lowest range
classes creates classes.which are de facto dominated by women;
and, places female -dominated jobs 'in c�'with lower -qualified
male=dominated.positions.". The City 'specifically denies these
allegations at.this time. In this, preliminary, report we submit.the
copy forwarded- herewith of the'Griffenhagen-Kroeger,Ine. report.
This firm was hired by the City on'May'16, 1972 to :investigate and
prepare for.adoption'by`the City, a.position classification and pay
plan for the City of Iowa City, Iowa. The resume showing qualifi
cations -of said firm 1 also accompanies this preliminary report.
Also accompanying this report is a:copy ,of the;_letter from said
company-'dated"Januar¢.2; 1973 with the job evaluation.plGn,used by,
said company. '.
The above position classification and pay plan was adopted by the '
City.Council =22nd December*.:1972..Becauseof complaints about
said plan, the. City. Council instructed the .City Manager to request.
a'study`and review of<the plan and other city, personnel practices
with the; Equal Employment Opportunitie:;Commission office in Kansas
CitY,,'scheduled review in.1973,was,cancelled.by.the
EEOC becauseof the complaint against the City which
complaint was referred to; the Iowa'.CiviliRights-Commission .and is
believed' the basis' of the present complaint. At°the Council
meeting adopting said plan the ,petition which accompanies this
statement was ,filed supporting the City practices.
3.`' On August 1, 1972 the City Council adopted an affirmative action
program as recommended by the Iowa City. Human Relations, Commission,
a 'copy of said program and the 'resolution adopting it accompanies
this report. Additionally on December 22, 1972 the City; Council
adopted Personnel procedures, a copy of ',which accompanies this report,
which on page '39 incorporates the affirmative action program. On
the basis of the above we,deny and cannot, comprehend the allegation
in the complaint that the City has not adopted a written personnel
policy prohibiting discrimination.

STAFF REPORT
• Planning i Zoning Commission
March 14,1973
SUBJECT: S-7302.- Preliminary Plan for the
Large' ScaleResidential Development
for Braverman -West (vic, southwest
of -intersection of Benton St. and
Mormon Trek Blvd.),
Developer:' Mace` Braverman,
Engineer: !Shive-Hattery:& Associates
(Jim; Shive)
Filed: February 28, 1973
45 -day Limitation:, April 14, 1973
SITE-
DESCRIPTIONe
The subject parcel is situated
immediately between Rohret_Road and
the planned westward extension of
Benton Street', a_distance of
approximately 1300 feet, and extends., west_.of,and parallel to Mormon
Trek Boulevard, als& a distance of approximately 1300 feet The
northern, one-fifth of-the:LSRD has•.two exeluded.areis, one area
of approximately 2.0'acres`in the' northeastern` corner, otnthe;site,;
and another area of appr6ximately'2.8 acres in,the northwestern'
corner, both of rectangular
:;shape. This.:site:comprises a'.total
of 31.8° acres, excluding' right-of-way for Rohret Road, Mormon
Trek Boulevard and -the extension of West Benton Street.
The topography of the `site may be. described as rolling, with a
dominating ridge line extendingfrom a
point 'approximately 300
feet north of the southwestern corner of the site due -northeast
approximately` 400 feet and proceeding in' an easterly direction
therefrom. This ridge line constitutes the-divide'between the
northern water shed:'currently served by sanitary sewerage lines,
and as such denotes a design constraint upon the site at.this
time. In addition, the 'site possesses a number of steep grades .
which limit the advisable;locations for developsent..;The;'site is
bisected in the north-south"direction,by a gas line easement of
approximately' 115, feet in width which prohibits all cutting,
structural erections and similar:development.'
A stand of walnut trees is located.approximately 600 feet north of
and .parallel 'to the southern border of the site, extending easterly
approximately 300 feet from a point 700'feet east of, the western
of the site. This stand is complimented by a timber
area of varying width which extends south from the eastern tip
of the walnut stand to the 'southern border of the site.
PROPOSED
DEVELOPMENT Shive-Hattery i Associates has,

a residential development pme composed
of a mixture of townhouses, duplexes
and single family dwelling units, in a ratio of 179 to 8 to 2, in
that order.
is
—2—
As shown, the site plan effectively preserves the existing wooded
areas of the property, while generally respecting the topographic
constraints of`the.land.
The location of access points is,well considered, with access to
Mormon Trek Boulevard being restricted to one point in recognition
of the sight distance problems created by the road's vertical
alignment. Access to the'West'Benton Streetextension is limited
to two'culs-de-sac outlets, while the Rohret Road access points
provide adequate visibility.
The sewerage of those dwellings proposed for the southern -draining
half of this LSRD'is shown on the; plan as being pumped over the
ridge line bisecting the site via a lift'.station. As -cited in the
Staff Report on this development on February,8 1973,:'there.is a
City policy against the installation of.lift.stations where gravity
sewerage is feasible. A trunk sewerage, ine of approximately 3500
feet in length as measured from the southern property' line' to the
nearest downslope existing.trank'sewerage line'would'provide sewage
service,to these dwellings without necessitating' the'installation of
a`lift station.
The legal description -supplied with thispreliminary plan fails
to exclude the%two norn a
therreas left;out by 'the 'actual plat
plans, and will require correction:
M .
M.C.
Section
9.51. BG provides:
P es. ]
"The type of construction,, the materials, the {i
methods and standards of the tract improvements
shall be equal to the current specifications of
the City -for like work."
In view of this, the following items were found unacceptable'as
shown:
Driveway paving: The paving of the section of driveway
within the public'right-cf-way:is sham as asphaltic
concrete. City policy requires concrete.
Street width: Note number 6C indicates a street width of
only 20 feet for the street adjacent to Mormon Trek
Boulevard. This conflict's wiih.the drawing.on Sheet #2
which indicates a street width ',of 22.'feat. City; standards
require a minimum paving width of 28 feet, with a 22 -foot
paving width allowed on a cul-de-sac street only if 5
additional off-street,parking,spaces are provided on each
lot, a condition not met by this.proposal.
Sidewalk location: Note number 7 indicates that no sidewalks
•
will be provided along streets, -while -the drawing on
sheet #2 clearly shows sidewalks, which are,in fact,
required. (M.C. Section 951:8E),
-3*
• Curbs: Note number 6D indicates-rolled type curbs, which
are permitted, by City standards only in the immediate
turn-around, area of 'a cul=de-sac.
Curb-cuts -`Parking: The site.,plan`shown'on Sheet i2
shows several areas of off ..street parking with-direct
_access to the public streets from the parking;_stalls,
through curb 'cuts of up:to 86 feet. This maximum
permitted curb cut width is 24 feet onto `any _City
street. (M.C. Section 9.60.6C)._ City policy prohibits any
Off-street' group parking facility design ,which necessitates
the users to back into the public right-of-way when exiting.
The minimum` distance:between a driveway.and.a corner is
20 feet (M.C..Section 9.60.6E), while this site plan
shows four'(4) curb cuts well within this distance.
Height of Structures: .The submitted plan does not indicate
the height of the proposed structures. (M.C. Section
9.51.3B10.)
Meaning of :note on Sheet f2: The note located within the
box on, sheet,two .states.that thoo:,onlylinformation..which
_._
may-be. obtained from'.�this;shaet.'are the locations of lots,`'
garages; streets;'driveways and sidewalks. If this is
so, .the ;applicants: have failed <to indicate:sidawalk°width,
curb cut lengths, or.pavement widths.
The office of-the City Engineer_has'indicated agreement with the
above', and further . states the following:
1. The Driveway Easement Areas will not be given City services
such as snow removal,' pavement. repair or'refuse removal.
These areas' are highly questionable „land asutilissd in the
northwestern cul-de-;de used as a mans of
circumventingthe intent of the Municipal Code Section 9.50.5
limiting 'the maximum length of any cul-de-sac to 900 linear
feet. If the D.E.A.'s- ire -permitted,:;easamsnts will-be
required for-fire hydrants.
2. The distance between buildings has not been indicated,' except
as shown on the "typical" lot layout:
3. off -center cull-de-sac are not permitted; by reason of snow
removal difficulties; created by the turning 'radius of the
plows.
4.
The one-half a cul-de-sac shown in the southeastern quadrant
of the development will not be permitted,' is this creates-
two intersections within too short a distance for safety.
Mormon Trek Boulevard and Rohret Road will not be required
to be paved by the,petitioner, 'but -the entire width of
West Benton Street will have to be provided by the petitioner.
