Area is centrally:located in rapidly developing residential area vrhich has no planned parks, open'-spaces, or holPing areas. 2. It adjoins an elementary'school grounds, plus providing an ideal nature study environment. 3. Drainage in this area drains into small creek, which .in turn drains into Ralston Creek south of Friendship Street. Further urban development T of this natural watershed area is contrary to advised erosion and flood control practices. 4, Area has 60-80 year old 'oak trees and'a variety of native' plants,- shrubs, and wildflowers and wild life common to a wooded 'environment. 5.- Many, ,,residents would appreciate the availability of a', park within 'walking or biking distance. 6. The idea of a park in this area was brought to the attention of, the City Council, the Parks and Recreation Commission, and the Plannin; and Zoning Department about- two years ado. See ;. attached letter. Also, many city and reui.onal employees have been privately contacted and expressed interest and encouragement. ai i�4 .T ��:,' :�'�.� .�::'f ry ;�;�p$ • /Z!5 ' !v'+"� . �64 X7wUVYi000G/A ra Awa ovw � a To: MIembers of the City Council Planning and Zoning Commission Parks and Recreation Commission Gentlemen- The rezoning entlemen:The<rezoning request and proposed plat for Oakwoods Part 6 raises two questions: 1. How is the undeveloped land lying between the present Oakwoods Part 3 and the proposed Oakwoods Part 6 to be used?' The City presently has on file no plans for the development of this area. As a,,general rule, "leap-frog" development of this sort seems very inaparopriate. A better procedure could be to approve the plans for the Oakwood. Part 6 development only after a plan for the use of the land be we t en Cakwoods Par;' 3 and the proposed Oakwoods Part 6 has been made and approved. 2. Miat are the City's plans for a park or "open space" in theaarea north of,Court;Street and east of Westminster Street and.Boerling Green Place? As yet no land'has been designated for `.park development--other than the Helen Lemne playground However, as Oakwoods Part 6 and 'other land in this area is developed there definitely will be'a`need for additional local park facilities. Our purpose in Tasking these, till 'questions is not to oppose the proposed Oakwoods Part '6 development. 7Instead, we wish to sug est that the proposed Oakwoods development points to a-problem that deserves the immediate attention of-he`Ci.ty. This is the problem of, providing adequate park facilities for the residential area that is rapidly developing north `of'Court Street and east of Westmin^ter Street. We also wish to sug'est a solution to this problem; namely that the area between Oakrroods Part 3 and 0aktivoods Part 6(see the attached map) be developed as a park-playground- open space area. There are several reasons why this seems to be an appropriate use of the area: L It is the only wooded area in the area between Rochester and Court Streets and east of wer�tminster. r, 2. Itadjoins a ,school ;round, 3. It is 'presently used as a park and recreation area by a large number of people in the area. 4. Itispopulated With a variety o!' wildlife and is variable in both vegetation and terrain. It is therefore wellsuite and naturd to Picnicking, hiking, e study,'as well as playground activities. 5. Our conversations with people who are Familiar With the area have revealed a' great. deal of public support-entt foroa park. In addition, to better gauge supe ort }: , 'e plan`to circulate petition requesting that the area be developa ed as a park.

Should the Board have time, we ask to be allowed to make an oral' .. Budget", prepared by Presentation at the forthcoming monthly meeting by two or ,three'. of our representatives. le apOl'og,ize for the lateness of our request. However, circumstances .'arrant such an appearance. The 1974 budget for Iowa;City,,was reviewed in a public hearing, October 2,`1'973 Contained in the budget for Iowa cCity ^re proposals to construct a major four lane highvray facility £ram lo to the .'.est borders of the City, .4s ,will be'seen;from the en- clos>d materials, 6ielrose Avenue and the `University,s "pedestrian cam- pus" are important links to this highway proposal. More 'specifically, the University intends to use the widening of irelrose as a " point" with the City in order to facilitate the development ofrthening pedestrian campus. As noted in the idR'CA memo (-page 18, Of 36). "Ye object to this'bargaining basior s o part, should decide�the�il9elrose-Byingtocedure and n issue on the basis of legitimate traffic,and land use needs on the west side of the river and not as part of a "deal". -he Council vrill vote its approval of the budget at its Oct meeting. Should they delete expenditure 9 Council ose ane plans" Will remain on the drawing boards for rthe�fit isinli gkely that ?'bus, i is important to demonstrateuthat: 1) Melrose widening is not ar, acceptable answer to traffic congestion; 2), that the pedestrian` campus, as it is now envisioned, is not practical and, ,therefore, the AC # IVI TIES�1i'� C k c� R . L!. of -'®t:�1 A CITY rA C , r. < -2_ r surrenderir.n of University property for the widening of Melrose is not'an acceptable "bargain". The Board clearly has an interest in this matter for three reasons: 1) The University,propos'aluwould relocate Highway 6-218 from the estlaem curve to Myrtle Street (see figure three in the,Univer-' "Proposal"). f city Such a relocation would necessarily involve the Ioera State Highway Commission, the City of Iowa City and, there- fore, the Board of Regents. ' 2) The relocation of 6-218 will require funding approval ,from the Regents since relocation will take,plac,e ;ae;an institutional road 3)) The quality of life of several thousand University student, faculty and staff will be directly affected by: a) the disrup- tion of activities of six,; university related, daycare facilities; b) relocated 6-218'will affect the land use capability of the,Uni- versity'. The institutional road would 'cut through much of the . present intramural playing, fields, west of the Recreatior. Building. The general recreational use of these greenspaces ureas would also be greatly curtailed. Additionally, .widening Melrose and particularly>the;proposed interchange at Melrose %ith r'oolf would eliminate eight of the sixteen _tennis courts; c) As noted in the petition(enclosed) the Melrose widening and the diagonal will impose a significant tax ,burden on the residents Iowa " of City, ,many of^ -whom are University.'' students and personell. Moreover, the funds required to construct 'm' roads -will r ns vrill reduce •zunding;for`higher priority ' in programs the University; d) Because'iof the mounting " opposition to the 'proposals,'hostility'is increasing between the Io1,ra Citycommunity, including many University people, and the'University Administration. 'or exam -ole: in the petition given to the City,'Council at the Oct. 2nd rc„ -g 1271 signatures were obtained. 171: signatures were from the bielrose area. 464 sianatures ware from University Heights.' 87 signatures, were from Slater Hall. Lo ,5 signatures were from other citizens, primarily from the East side of the Iowa River. Ibany of those individuals appearing at the. City hearing opposed both the University's and the " City's proposal for highway expansion, None spoke in_favor :of either the pedestrian campus or the street widening proposal . w.:en 'days aro the MiNICA presented their case to the Council of Slater Hall, a University dormitory. The,Council, wishing to hear the University!s,side, invited two administration re-Presentatives to make their presentation.on Oct. 1. On the same night of the Uni V' i, ersit.,)-, prosentation, the council voted 11-0-1 ( ayes, nays, abstentions) to oppose the Melrose project and, in fact, sent 'a representative to speak at the City hearing as opposing the widening.. V In reviewing our request to appear before the Boards the members should consider three things: 1) Our appeals aside from the substantive issues which are beIiieved to v.eigh against the University proposal, is intended to ensure that all affected Darties are included in the several decisior-mmaking processes. The University, in their meetings and public -presentations, appear to be inflexible in their -L Dronosals, offering only minor variations in plans rather than dell -founded alternatives. input appears to be limited only to criticisms of a "final" proposal rather.than an active involvement of 4"ne public and University-reiated people at the inception and development of the'pro-oosal. 2) The im-oortance of the time factor since the City budget will be certified by the 15th of October. it is anticipated that the certification will be appealed to the State Appeal Board by Oct. 25 as required by the Section 100 of the Home Rule Act and Cha-oter 24 of the Code. 6f,'Iowa.' t -Dpeal will 3) As will be noted in the several enclosures, this a - offer viable alterna'T ives andcontrary to official assertions,' neither the University, the City, nor the Highway Commission need be "locked into" sDecific corrunittments and that serious consideration can be given tothe meaningful alternatives, Drovided herein and which can be expanded .upon during, our appearance.

Sa"Emis-ions -'The HUD Environm vital Impact Stat:ment ?j a report on an air quality survey prepared by the &tate Hygienic Laboratory and excerpts the`.princi;al conclusions. An- other 'summary 'sheet, 'from that report is her -with attached which also shows ,both EPA and State standards. t' A • f insofar as One annot disagree with the conclusions o .that report insof c 9 P S02 emission is concerned.' Primarily,'the problem`of;staying with- in limits can be met only by burning fuels with low sulfur content. Virtually no S02 is produced while burning gas but gas is becoming - increasingly difficult to obtain. When we burn No. 6 (heavy)) fuel oil, the sulfur content, must be 1.5% or less to stay within the State limit of 1.5 lbs S02 per i - million Btu'. Characteristically the sulfur content on this fuel _runs about 2% and to meet ,standards ,this fuel may ultimately be ruled out. It certainly would, be if we must meet Federal standards of 0.8 lbs S02 per million, Btu. When No. 2 fuel oil is used the sulfur content must be limited to 0.8% to meet Federal standards or 1.5% to meet State standards.; Usually, the sulfur content for this!fuel runs from 0.5% to 1.9%. Use of this fuel will always meet State standards and probably, Federal 'standards most of`the time. 'However,'there-is,a, shortage ' of this oil, and the University may be unable'to'obtain it in the neededquantities. We burn Illinois and Kentucky coal in boilers Nos. 5 and 6 whose sulfur content ranges up to 3%. At 3%, the SO22 production is al- most exactly 5ilbs per million Btu, which is'the State limit. How- ever, this is above the Federal standard of 1.2 lbs per million;Btu. it It seems as if there is,absulutely no chance of meeting the Federal standard while burning coal without installing expensive S02 srubb- fi ing,equipment.' r S Nitrogen Oxides - By amendment soon to go into, effect, the State standards will !set ;no limits'or requirements on these oxides for power plants. Thermal` Pollution - The Environmental Impact Statement implied that the river water temperature has reached the environmental limits because of the use of this water for cooling condensers. This is not true at the ;present time but will be true for a small' fraction of the time', each year when :the 15 M-7 turbine generator goes on the line in mid -1974. We expect to operate at the max- imum allowable river' temperature rise about 4% of the time during' a year and probably 75% of the time the river _temperature 'rise will be negligible. -3- Water.Pollution - All liquid dischargesfrom the Power Plant go to the sanitary sewer except =for boiler'blowdown.- The chemicals intro- duced into the river, when diluted by river flow, ever. at the very lowest flow, will be below the detectability level. Reference is made to the report "Thermal,` Biological and 'Chemical Impact',on'Iowa River_" prepared by the Physical Plant Department (see pages 21 to 24) for further conclusions on biological impact and water pollution. We will always operate below the limits imposed by both. Federal and State standards. General' Comments - In view'of what has been, pointed out, the Power Plant does contribute to air pollution but water, pollution (except thermal pollution):is negligible. Even the thermalpollutionwill be negligible` most of the time. The State Hygienic Laboratory, report mentioned an excess of carbon monoxide in downtown Iowa City. Certainly the Power Plant makes no contribution here. The report also surveyed the suspended particulate matter in the air ativarious.places in Iowa City and at two times of the year. i On August 1, 1971,, for example, the concentration of suspended particulate matter at Dubuque and Washington Streets was 396 mg/cu. meter'`as compared to the Federal standard of 75 annual geometric mean or 260 'maximum 24-hour' concentration not to be exceeded:more y Y mo - than once a year. Coincidentally, the concentration carbon noxide exceeded the standard.'. Probably an atmospheric temperature inversion existed to contribute, to these conditions. A comparison was made tolmeasurements of,suspended 'matter under the Power Plant plume and at; points outside the plume. There was a'lar- ger concentration under the plume. It is not possible to say,, how- ever, what percent was contributed by.the power plants because the atmospheric' conditions were not precisely defined. In qualitative terms, it can be said that the Power': Plant did contribute to the quantity oflsuspended particles in the air but certainly was not the only source.''With the installation of the bag filters ,this year, the Power 'Plant 'will be a'minor contributor of particulate matter to the atmosphere. The State Hygienic Laboratory report was not intended to be a com- prehensive and complete survey but only to serve as an indication of atmospheric` contamination. More monitoring over a longer period " of time would have been required for a comprehensive survey. • -4- :The principal conclusions in rebutting the statements in the HUD Impact;Statement are: 1) The Power Plant will not be the major air polluter in the area except for sulfur dioxide. 2), Sulfur dioxide emissions standards of.the State can be met part of the time while burning No. 6 fuel oil. Generally, the State standards will be exceeded by a small margin since this.fuel cannot;be depended upon to'- have 'a sulfur content as low as 1.5%, which is needed to meet the requirement. This may require reverting to No. 2 fuel oil', which will enable us to meet State and even Federal requirements, but which is in short supply. 3) The University Power Plant makes no contribution of carbon monoxide to the atmosphere.' 4) The particulate emissions from the 'Power Plant, after November, 1973, will contribute a minor portion .(less than 50%) -of the suspended matter in the air in the Iowa City community. Even 'under 'the Power Plant plume, this is likely to be less than 50% of the total. 5), The effluents from the Power Plant into the Iowa. River are in such small amounts that water pollution is undetectable. The University is not a major water polluter. 6) Thermal pollution in the Iowa River is negligible (well below State standards) at the present time. 7). Thermal pollution of the river will equal State, approved limits only for 4% of the time owhen 'the new turbine generator is installed. For at least 75x6 of the time, thermal pollution will be negligible. remaining time it will vary; between negligible to maximum. Inhany event, ,the 'University will op- erate the Power Plant in such a way,even at,the expense of doss of electrical generation, that the specified limit;of tem- perature rise of the river will not be exceeded. 8) It was stated in the HUD Impact Statement that neither the City or HUD had ,any, control over the University's --air and water pollution (page 28) This is misleading because it may be pointed out that the':University does not contribute to water pollution, will,contribute to thermal.pollution to,the extent of State approved limits for only 4% of the time, will -28- �UNIVERSITY POWER PLANT SUMMARY OF OPERATIONAL DATA AVERAGES OPERATING CONDITION BOILERS 516 BOILER 7 BOILER Date 2/9/722/14/72 2/15/72 Bar, In.

Other references are: Page 52, first paragraph Page 54, first full paragraph and continued to page 55« Exhibit E; an responding to these references to pollution we will do so in a group at this mint in our comments rather than in the order the references appear in the draft. .I, must initiallyu u question inclusion of these comments and references in the graft statement for the simple reason that any problems which do exist will not be 'fected one way or the other by. the R-14 program. The absence or presence of zDllution from the University Power Plant in no way reduces, increases or affects zhe amount of or effects of pollution in the R-14 area from other sources. Its z,resence in.no way; justifies or makes acceptable pollution from other sources. We --spectfully request that all references to pollution supposedly caused by the -University Power Plant be deleted from, the 'draft statement. the above request cannot be honored, there are some specific comments to be made Zbout'some, specific references to University -caused pollution: Page 28, first full paragraph The source of the phrase "The University Power Plant; constitutes:a major; source of air and water pollution..." needs more specific attribution than 'State Officials." Paye 52, end of first paragraph - "The Power Plant pumps effluents into the river to the extent that the water temperature has reached its environmental limits. When 'casually read this statement seems to ..imply improper activity. The fact is that this condition does not exist now. It willexistabout 4% of the time during the year beginning, in mid -1974 when a new river -water- cooled 15 MKW electric generator is placed on line. Even during, operation under the most severe conditions, however, the thermal affect of the generator will be within allowable limits. The referenced statement should be deleted from the: draft. Page 54, first full paragraph through to top of page 55 This reference is a rather general negative statement about pollution caused by the University Power Plant. The source is apparently the paper contained in Exhibit E and an unidentified "top chemist employed by the State of Iowa. Appended to this letter is an updated review ofpowerplant pollution. A summary of its conclusionsincludes: a) The University Power Plant will soon meet air pollution standards except for sulfur' dioxide emissions. The conclusions of the air quality survey concerning' sulfur dioxide are acceptable. However, the ability to meet or come close to acceptable levels of sulfur dioxide emissions is dependent upon fuel availability' and quality µr. Elmer E. Smith Page 3. and is not fully within the controlof the University. b) The University Power Plant introduces no carbon monoxide into the atmosphere. c) Even though the Power Plant now meets State standards for particulate emissions, new equipment to be in operation:by November, 1973, will - further reduce particulate emissions from the Plant. d)_ Effluents introduced into the Iowa River from the Power Plant are in such small amounts that water pollution is undetectable. e) Thermal pollution of the river is negligible now and will remain within allowable limits in the future. Page 55 contains'a purported quote from the "top chemist" that "without the air particulate emissions from this facility ... readings on airpollutionwould not exceed the EPA standards." This statement is apparently contradicted by a statement in the Air Quality Survey (page 102)'which says "Suspended particulate samples collected in February, ,1972,'also exceeded (emphasis added),the Federal standard by; approximately 20 to 25% at the time when the mobile unit'was not y y Power Plant effluent ..." directly 2.n the University If these references are to remain in the statement, the persons quoted should be identified and the apparent contradictions between the statement and the survey should be explained. It should be noted that the University has been very diligent that its power plant operation not cause avoidable pollution. With the exception of sulfur dioxide emissions we have been 'quite successful. We therefore conclude that the impact statement in its references to;these matters is misleading and.inaccurate. These references should be deleted. Page 27, first full paragraph - This paragraph contains the first reference to the concerns of the University in matters regarding traffic' circulation and the closing of 'streets in particular. As is noted on page 25 and commented qn earlier in this letter, the University is planning for a pedestrian -oriented campus, that is, for a campus through which private autos not destined for the campus do,not travel. Attached is a booklet explaining this plan in some depth. The University provides considerable open, green space adjacent to the Central Business District. Closing of selected streets so that this space can be made„ more continuous will benefit all who use the 'district, not simply University - related persons. In addition, the environmental quality of downtown is'directly related to enhancement of the expanse of greenery and open spaces associated with the campus. The R-14 program will, therefore, have crucial effects upon the environmental quality of downtown Iowa City, to the extent that street closings and circulation 'Mr. ElmerE. Smith Page 4. serve to integrate rather than further divide the campus. The University would object strongly in response to any plan which resulted i . n increased traffic through the campus. The University, views 'this as the most significant environmental issue involved in the R-14 program. We cannot comment on it in specific terms since it is not fully raised in the statement, but we must indicate our strong insistence that whatever traffic plan is finally adopted to improve the environment within the project area shall not degrade the environment on the campus and therefore, downtown generally.

The Iowa City City Council met in informal session on October '8, 1973 at 4:00 P.M. in the Conference Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Brandt presiding. Councilmen present: Brandt, Butherus, Czarnecki, Hickerson, White (6:00 P.M.). Others present: Wells, Honohan, Klaus, Zelenka', Chubb, Maune, Stolfus. The Mayor announced discussion of their budget with the _members present of the Parks and Recreation Commission. Those - present were James Roe secs, Chairman, rman, June Davis, Sarah Fox, Robin Powell, Mrs. Hebert and Mrs. Buxton. Chairman James Roegiers discussed the proposed cuts as presented in 'a memo to the Council, pointing out that they have allowed $1,200 for each of the Babe Ruth, Little League and Girl's Softball and that they could increase the family season swim ticket which would eliminate the earlier closing of the City Park and Mercer swimming pools. He noted that they had kept the new '4C's program, as it pays for itself. Council then discussed with the Commission; teen-age dances, band concerts, purchase of lands', City Park road, change in Capital Improvements Program of development of Willow Creek in 1974 and delaying neighborhood parks for one year. The Mayor then announced discussion of the general budget items. He pointed out that the city's share of the Sunday Beer and Liquor permits goes to the County to be used for care and treatment of alcoholics, $1,780.00 so far this year. Mayor Brandt noted that the Council needed to make policy decisions including: 1) Should Council use Revenue Sharing money for operating Mass Transit. It was the general concensus of the Council to use ,Revenue Sharing money for operations in Mass Transit only. 2) Concerning the Melrose widening and diagonal, it was the general concensus of the Council to defer the project to 1975. 3) Concerning the $210,000 revenue sharing money for Rochester -First Avenue project, all were in agreement to transfer this amount to Mass Transit, and sell bonds for the Rochester project. There were no objections to holding the ending balances to $500,000 as the City Manager had requested. 4) There was general concurrence to not increase the funds for the library, and that Visiting Nurses Association and Alcoholism • should be funded by the County. 5) The Mayor noted general concurrence in increasing the amount for Boards and Commissions Page 2 Council Discussion • October 8, 1973 to $10,000, no special allocations. (Councilman White arrived) G) Concerning Mass Transit, there was general concurrence to not go to the 20C fare. The City Manager mentioned the five sites for parks near Scott Blvd., that could come out of the Ralston 'Creek study. COUNCIL DISCUSSION OCTOBER 9, 1973 12;30 P, M, The Iowa City City Council met in informal session on October 9, 1973 at 12:30 P.M. in the Conference Room at the Civic Center. Mayor Brandt presiding. Councilmen present: Brandt, Butherus, Czarnecki, Hicker- son, White. Others presenr: 'Wells, Kraft,Pugh, Zelenka Stolfus, Honohan, Maune. City Manager Ray Wells announced that by 4:00 P.M. he would have the list of changes and their effect on the budget. fie explained that by using the $210,000 from the Rochester pro- ject for Mass Transit, that it would not be necessary for the levy of 2 mills for transit, and a balance of $550,000 could be carried over. He noted that the additional six months budget did not change. (except that the one mill levy for trans'- it would be subtracted). Council discussed the funding for pilot recycling project l in 1974, and effect of private project. Mr. Wells noted that a private offer doesn't alleviate some City expense and lia- bility. He also advised that the grant application for Mass' Transit had been started. Councilman White mentioned the executive board statement on LEAA funds, concerning a minor bookkeeping change. Council- man Czarnecki proposed bonding for street lighting and traffic signals projects, possibly $100,000 for each of five years, as they are reoccuring projects. He noted that this type of expenditure in the Urban Renewal area will be financed from G.O. Bond monies. Finance Director, Joe Pugh pointed out that the Council will be discussing another Capital Improvement Program soon. The City Manager explained the changes proposed in utility billing, and proposed that before buying data processing equip- ment, the City should use a data processing service, evaluate, and then decide if a system should be purchased. This would change the billing, to monthly billing; readings quarterly with estimates for other months; eliminate one person; provide better cash flow; help concerning follow-up on delinquent bills; would provide billing for water and sewer with five modules for expansion and that we would stay with the postcard billing. Council discussed changing the policy concerning meter • removal; rate changes; making explicit in Ordinance who is eventually responsible for the bill; professional service contract not a bid contract.
