Dear' Sirs,
Whereas the traffic congestion caused four times daily
by the delivery and pick. -up of preschool children in front
of the Serendipity Preschool constitutes a hazard to the dri-
vers and more Important to the children themselves,
we, the
staff at Serendipity Preschool, do respectfully
request that
a sign prohibiting ',parking from 8 A.M. to 4 P.M. Monday through_'
Friday be placed in front of the school at 421 S. Lucas Street,
lJe feel that such a parking restriction would allow parents
with children at the preschool to utilize this 'curbside area
Instead of having to block Lucas Street and would also
insure
the safety of the children involved.
Your consideration of'this matter would be appreciated.
Respectfully,
r;(

The 'Honorable C. L. Brandt,
Mayor
city of Iowa City

Iowa City, Iowa 5
Dear Mayor Brandt:
This will acknowledge your telegram',;inquiring how other
cities in received additional urban renewal monies
at a time when Iowa City was experiencing 'great diffi
culty,,with the Department of Housing and Urban Develop-
ment as to the financing of its urban renewal project.
As I understand it now, certain unused federal funds for
urban renewal that were not utilized elsewhere in fiscal
1873 were reallocated and made available to cities whose
projects had been readied for funding, out cons been
et
fully 'funded in fiscal 1973 because of budget'onstraints
applied by the Office of Management and Budget at the
the nation, in -
White House. A -number of cities across
eluding several in Iowa, were deemed by the Department of
Housing and 'Urban Development to have reached a stage that
receive these reallocated funds near the'
;qualified them to
end :of the fiscal year.
I will gladly, provide whatever assistance I can re expedite
action on the Iowa City project; and I would appreciate
My eastern
your suggestions as to ho�'r, I may be of help.
Iowa representative, Peter,Robinson, is at your'di6259 i,
and you may contact him by, telephone at ac319/326-6259 in
Davenport.
Very truly yours,
HAROLD E. HUGHES

Reasons for objecting to closing of part of Alley north off
Davenport St. and ;Test off Pleasant St.
--------------------------
1. South access off Davenport St is steep and sometimes
cannot use when icy or snow on.
2. Fire truck could not make turn iF south access off
Davenport St. when cars are parked on bath sides, as
they usually are. Since we have lived here the fire
truck was ,called on two occasions for grass fires at
the back of two of the lots.Once on Ipsen lot and
once on n'laus lot (then Parkers lived there). Both
times they had to come from tho Pleasant St. access
as they could not get in the south access off
Davenport St.
j. Telephone lines would be difficult to maintain.
4. If we could not get in from Davenport St. we could
not get to the back of our lot. It is impossible to
make a drive along the side of our lot because our
house and garage occupy 'almost all of the width of our
lot.
5. We have been unable to use the Pleasant St. Access all
of this spring and summer because Mr. canary hhas made.
it impossible to drive through because of a pile of
tires and junk he has piled in the middle of the alley
off Pleasant St. As a result of no vehicles getting
through the weeds have grown very high and would
look like it was never used. The garbage men nave
not been able to get 'through and must stop on
Davenport St. and carry cans down to the truck
from three households ,which they used to be abl'i
to drive right beside before alley was blocked.
We could understand their not driving through
in the spring for a couple months when it is
muddy but they should not have to do this all year.
6. W do not ^bject to closing of portion of north -south
section which is behind Fox property as it has been
closed by a shed built there for many years and does
not affect -ihe Pleasant St. access.

Dear Sirs';
W. J. POWERS. M.D.
It is with a great deal of regret that I must submit my
resignation as a member of the Human Relations Commission
due to personal and business reasons.
Because of my work schedule, I have been unable to attend
the special meetings, although having missed only one regular
meeting. My current schedule will make it very difficult to
even accomplish this. It is unfair to the commission members
who do put a great deal of time and effort into the commission
to have a member who is unable to attend and participate in
the meetings. The present and future role of the board is
too important to not have 100% input by its members.
Respectfully submitted this 27th day of August, 1973.
Sincerely yours, i

Mayor's Youth Employment Program I lY
Box 911
lo%v;i City, lava 52240
August 273 1973
The Honorable Members of the City Council
,,City of Iowa City
Iowa City, Iowa 52240
Gentlemen:
This is to inform you of the status of funding of the Mayors Youth
Employment Program. As in the past, Department of Health, Education,%
& Welfare Title IV -A funds will be available to the Mayor's Youth
Employment Program through the Governor's Youth Opportunity Program
for September and October of this year. There is the very real like-
lihood that these funds will also be available through the remainder
of the school year. Since the status of these 'federal funds is highly
uncertain, we will write a project proposal for September and October.
and then each month thereafter until the federal regulations h
xhic
govern H.E.W. IV -A funds are finalized. In the event that H.whichV-A
funds become unavailable, the State of Iowa has allocated sufficient
funds to the Governor's Youth Opportunity Program to provide 60% of
the budget with 40% being required for local cash match. For the
present, the Mayor's Youth Employment Program will need $988.20 in
non-federal money',to provide the 20% local cash match requirement for '
September and October of this year. Thereafter, we will need approx-
imately $500.00 in non-federal money each month until ,the status of
N.E.W. IV -A funds becomes certain. The exact monthly amount will be
known as we write `our monthly proposals.
Since the ,money available through Johnson County Department of Social
Services consists of federal rtrenue sharing dollars, it cannot be used
as local match, to attract other federal dollars. Therefore, the Mayor's
Youth Employment Committee would like to request that $988.20 in non-
federal money be substituted for the same amount from the youth services
money allocated to Johnson County Dept. Of Social Services. This money

While the theoretical potential gross income on this property is
over $16,000, actual gross has been around $10,700. The lower figure
does not include the manager's unit which rents for $110/month, or
$1320/year. Apparently the major cause of the difference between the
potential and actual gross income is the very high summer vacancy rate.
I feel that this difference between the two gross income figures
12,000 and 16,000 (259 spread) cannot go unrecognized even though both
appraisers used 10% vacancy factors,
Effective CRN = $12,000 X '50 = $60,000,
Gross Rent 16,000
less vacancies 4,000
Effective Gross12,000
Expenses "5;100
NOI 6,500
♦ 11%

I therefore recommend a price on this prope rty of $60,000,

T have inspected this property and reviewed the real estate
appraisals on it. In my opinion'.!ARCO is on the high side by an
appreciable amount. Some of my "reasons aro as follows:
a) The lot is too narrow to rebuild into apartments', or offices. (40 ft.
b) ;:hile theoretically a developer in the high density zoning area
could put one unit per 300 s,f, of land on lots in the'high density area,
the lots do not sellon that 'Crisis and few, if any, have taken that '
option, Instead they have Sone for, the medium density rule of
750 s,f, per unit, In -fact, It is extremely difficult'', to meet the high-
rise standards,
c) Usually apartment land hasa market value of close to $2,500 per
unit than x3,000.
a) I disagree_wiih the bZ;o cap rate used by IARCO, IA rate of 1C%
would be preferable in my opinion,
:lith these comments in mind, I feel that a value closer to the middle
twenty thousand area is indicated,
:later. -'figures for land are more realistic, in my opinion, in
adlli Li01:,ft.el tea;, ,.Faer3� :Droj�':Ctcd inco:,,e is too low. The to
inco;.a is offset
however, by t00 low a Cap rate 1f GY0 WGTC t0

IARCO is at c•30,000 _n my opinion, the better estimate of.fair market
value lies in between these figures.
It is my belief that, IAROG's rents are: too high. Economic rent
should be closer to $360/mo, (S .miiarly, lsaters is 'below this figure,
In addition, a cap rate of 10"o would be in ,order, Slaters used 81G and,
;ARCO 95.

Other comments:
1. There is a typoF;raphical error on 'eiatersincome statement, It

2, IARCO's floor area estimate is too low,

Subjects 101-12 (Edwards)
The subject property is a two story older home on a small lot
with a walkout basement. It has been converted from a single
family residence into a three unit apartment building. As a result
of the conversion, its floor plan suffers - particularly access to
the second 'floor unit, The basement unit has some rartition walls
that are less than standard construction and the bedroom may riot meet'
city code.
The two appraisals are fairly far apart - $35,000 vs, $27,200.
It is my belief',that Waters is fairly close on this property. My
reasoning is as'followsr
GRM - 5,25 X 5400 rent due = $289350

COUNCIL DISCUSSION
AUGUST 28, 1973
12:30 P,M,
The Iowa City City Council met in informal session on the
28th day of August at 12:30 P.M, in the Conference Room at the
Civic Center. Mayor Brandt presiding.
Councilmenpresent: Brandt, Czarnecki, Hickerson, White
and future Councilman Lee Butherus. Absent: Connell. Others
present: Honohan, Hayek, Kraft, Klaus, Wells, Stolfus and Maune.
The Mayor announced discussion of the Sign Ordinance.. Dis-
cussion included consideration of 30 days instead of 45 days
in number 3 on, Page 5, and it was a general concurrence of the
Council to leave it '45 days'; also on Page 5, to add words
'state and local holidays' to number 4, Seasonal Decorations.
The City Attorney noted that fascia signs are part of a
building, not projecting signs. Council discussed addition
of words 'and such regulations' to line 3 of Section 'IX.B.l.b,
and deletion of word 'between' in line 5, and concurred in the
changes. They also concurred in deletion of C.2 in Section
XIII, Page 22, and noted that Page 16 paragraph 4 should read
Section X' along with paragraph 6 on page 17.,
Mayor Brandt commented that the Council would not allow
12' X 25' billboards in the commercial and industrial zones.
Council' concurred' with the statement.
I The City Attorney recommended that the public have time to
see the final draft. The Council was not in favor of this, as
they noted that the amendments were more liberal.
Councilman white questioned the measurement of the sign
area. Council concurred in deletion of word 'rectangle', sub-
stituting ''trapezoid', Page 3, definition R. He also questioned
use of the word ''continued' in Definition M, Page 2, and the
City Attorney was requested to decide which word should be used.
Mayor Brandt noted receipt of the Environmental Impact
Statement for the Urban Renewal Project, and the Councilmen
discussed their response. Discussion included: going into as
much detail as possible; public meeting being held by Regional
Planning Land Use Committee; the statement being HUD's re-
sponsibility; preservation of College Block building as his-
torical site; answering anticipated objections from others;
housing south of Burlington; and short term visitor parking need
near Old Capitol. City Manager Wells stated he would have a
draft letter for submission to the Council for next Tuesday's
discussion.

Page 2 Council Discussion
August 28, 1973
The City Manager also requested a 4:00 P.M. meeting on
Friday, August 31st for presentation of the 1974 Budget. Mayor
Brandt, questioned why acceptance of Branverman Center was not
on the agenda. Director of Community Development explained that
the Planning and Zoning minutes were not on the agenda, and
it was their policy to not put anything on the agenda that the
Council had not had the opportunity to read about in the min-
utes'.
Council discussed cooperation with the County on joint
facilities, and reminded the Rules Committee it was time to set
up a', meeting with the Councy Supervisors'.'
Concerning the vacation of Harrison Street, it was noted
that the City has power to vacate, but neither Planning or
Zoning Commission or the Council would discuss this in the
absence of A) a proposal and B) conversation on long range
complex.

STAFF REPORT
•' Planning & Zoning, Commission
August 23, 1973
SUBJECT: S-7302 and 5-7311. Braverman
West Large -Scale Residential
Development Plan and Planned
Area Development Preliminary
Plans.
STAFF Previous Staff Reports have
ANALYSIS: considered background material
pertaining to this particular'
development site. This Staff'
Reportwilldeal with the latest submission of July 3, 1973.
1. The street pattern as shown is substantially better than
the previously' approved Planned Area,, Development street
scheme; however, the Staff believes that the two north -
south atreets or drives will function essentially as
collector streets and'should be classified as such. Per-
pendicular parking directly off of these two streets should
not be, allowed' because of„.the safety considerations 'ofsa
combination'ofi'22' wide streets of a collector''function with
parking movements. Based upon their function as collector
streets, these two streets should' be considered for public
ownership'rather'than private drives. Considering the
size of the development only one collector street would
be needed to serve this particular:35.7 acres. This would
necessitate some redesign of the street layout to accommodate
a singular; collector street running through the development.
Private loop drives and private cul-de-sacs could then be
laid out ,from this singular collector street.
The particular design for the island on the eastern collector
type street should be redesigned to eliminate the conflicting
traffic movements associated with that particular design.
2. There should be some provision shown on this preliminary
plat for either sidewalks along theproposedstreet'system
or through the open space areas. The current plat 'shows
no sidewalk system whatsoever.
3. The juxtaposition of, several of the housing units with
respect to other units, open space, and areas excluded from
the development would provide some conflict in the provision
of open space amenities for many of these units. Some housing
units could be resited to take advantage of the vistas and
to provide better parking arrangements.
4. The northwest corner of the development has been excluded
• from this particular,PAD/LSRD while still being retained
under common ownership. There is a cul-de-sac which would
provide access on the south to this excluded area. The
vu.au uc uwvcu U1 ucvcl VYl11C 11V FJldlib LllUluuuu LUr L11dL'UK-
eluded tract since the cul-de-sac could provide access
and this could have a direct bearing on the design of that
cul-de-sac and street layout.
5. Some type of street lighting; system 6hould be provided for
the layout.
6. Certain of thecul-de-sacs could be redesigned to provide
better trafficmovement while' minimizing conflict with
parking. Since the cul-de-sacs might be in private
ownership, they could be designed as parking areas with
straight rows of parking and a, central circulation system
as opposed to the radial parking around the periphery of
a circular cul-de-sac. The ends of'the `row parking areas
_do not provide any type of turn around or back out provision
for the automobiles parked at the ends of these particular
roads. While this is a design detail, some consideration
of this problem should be shown on the preliminary: plan
to indicate that a satisfactory solution can be made'.
7. There may be other factors associated with the site design
that would result from the content of the final policy
statement on PRIVATE DRIVES IN LARGE-SCALE RESIDENTIAL
DEVELOPMENTS.'
