Civic Center Council Chambers
MEMBERS PRESENT: Madsen, Horner, Ogesen, Davidsen, Larew
MEMBERS ABSENT: Galiher, Penry
STAFF PRESENT: Wollmershauser,_Schmeiser, Braun, Klaus, Osborn,
Nelson, Child
Chairman Madsen called the meeting to order and asked if there were
any corrections or additions to the minutes of the September 27,'
1973 meeting. Dr. Ogesen suggested that 'the 'words "east of Laura
Drive" be added to the numbered paragraphs on, page 2. The last
sentence in paragraph V11 would read: "This would be undesirable,
he said, because to the north and south of the area: east of Laura
Drive are'nice'residential developments."Paragraph #2 would read:
"The area, east of Laura Drive faces on' to Dubuque Street which is
a main entrance into Iowa City and it is 'important that it be
nicely developed." It was moved by Dr. Ogesen and seconded by Mr.
Horner that the minutes be approved as amended. The motion carried
unanimously.
Chair man' Madsen pointed out to the Commission that Mrs. Davidsen,
had resigned her position as a Planning and Zoning Commission
member. He explained that a resolution expressing appreciation
for her years of service for the betterment of Iowa City would
be 'signed by all Commission members with copies to be attached
to the minutes of this meeting and the original copy to be given
to'Mrs. `Davidsen.
Z-7314. Urban Renewal Zoning Code Changes to conform to P,-14
Urban Renewal Plan. Filed: 9/7/73. '45 -day limitation: 10/22/73.
Mr. Dick Pattschull, representing Wehner and Associates, Architects,
objected to the proposed wording of Section 8-10.18A (Screening)
on page 5 of the Text Modifications and Additions to the Current ,
Zoning Code of 'Iowa City. He indicated that because some businesses
have parking in front of their businesses, it would seem a hardship
for them to require screening all around their buildings. He would
dike to see this section deleted from the proposed modifications,
he said.
Mr. Jack Klaus, Director of Urban Renewal, explained that they
were hoping to avoid a "sea'oflcars" type situation. Mr'. Richard
• Braun, Assistant City Attorney, indicated that in some situations
it might be possible that a variance could be granted.
-2 -
It was suggested by Mrs. Davidsen that the wording be.changed
to something which would be more realistic than "screening of
vehicles sufficient to conceal said vehicles from public"view".
Mr'. Don Schmeiser, Associate Planner, suggested that the word`
obscure might
seem less harsh than .the word "conceal".
.
Mrs. Davidsen moved that Section 8.10.18A, page 5 of the Text
Modifications and Additions to the Current Zoning Code of Iowa
City, be amended to read: "For surface',:parking facilities,
screen ing'of vehiclessufficient' to obscure said vehicles from
public view is required. Such screening may be provided by
plantings, by stone, brick or wood structures which are at least
g Larew, carried
4 feet high." The motion, by Dirs.
unanimously'.
Chairman Madsen suggested that item #6 in Section 8.10.14 on page :.
3 of the proposed modifications might be changed to read: "Off-
street parking facilities ,of 50 or more spaces, excepting banks
and other' financial' institutions which may provide smaller lots."
Dr. Ogesen felt this would be, discriminatory and favored changing
the number 50 to a reduced; number 'rather !than excepting certain
businesses. Mr. Klaus concurred wit! Dr. Ogesen's opinion.; Mr.
Klaus indicated thatthe intent of the modifications is, to get
the private sector out of he parking business. Because the City
can coordinate 'parking 'better than individuals or a group of
merchants, he said, parking should be for the ,City to provide.
Dr. Ogesen pointed out that our present zoning ordinance provides
one parking space for each living unit of a dwelling. Mr. Richard
Wollmershauser_stated that parking for dwellings would take precedence
over the size of; parking lots.
Mr. Klausexplained that the Urban Renewal plan calls for two major
concentrated parking areas. The idea',,he said, is to put parking
around the periphery and to keep traffic out of the downtown area.
Dr. Ogesen moved, and Mr. Horner seconded, that the wording of
Section 8.10.14,; item 6 be amended to read "Off-street parking
facilities of 25 or more spaces for commercial uses. Parking
required under Section 8.10.25 Al and A8 for dwellings is exempt.!'
Mrs.'Davidsen stated that she would prefer a deferral of the
proposed modifications and suggested that the Staff make a study
of parking considerations. Mr. Richard,Wollmershauser indicated
that'the Staff would be making a study of parking considerations
and would report back to the Commission, at the next meeting,'
October 25.
Dr. Ogesen withdrew his motion and Mr. Horner withdrew his second.
• It was moved by Mrs. Davidsen and seconded by Mr. Horner to delete
Section 8.10.14.6 "Off-street parking facilities of 50 or more
spaces" from the proposed amendment pending a Staff study. The
•

• motion carried unanimously.
Dr. Ogesen suggested that Section 8.10.14,item 2 be amended to
add the words " newspaper publishing" after the word "printing.
It was moved by Mrs. Davidsen, seconded by Dr. Ogesen, lamend
i
Section 8.10.14, item 2 to add the words "newspaper pub
lshing"
afterithe word "printing. The motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Wollmershauser stated that the Staff would recommend eliminating
item 9 Animal Kennels, from Section 8.10.14a. It ,was moved by
Dr. Ogesen and seconded by, Mrs. Davidsen to eliminate "Animal
Kennels" from Section 8.10.14a. The motion carried unanimously.
Dr. Ogesen moved to recommend to the City Council approval of the
Text Modifications and Additions to the Current Zoning Code of
Iowa City withthe above mentioned amendments and deletions.
The motion carried -unanimously. A copy of the Text Modifications
and Additions as approved by',the Planning and Zoning Commission
is'attached to':th e'se minutes`.
It was moved by Mrs: Davidsen, seconded by Dr.,Ogesen, to recommend
that theproposed changes 'in the CB and CBS zones be changed on
the zoning maps of, Iowa City. The motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Madsen suggested that action on the R3B section of the
zoning map be deferred until the University of Iowa could be
notified.
It was moved by Dr. Ogesen, seconded by Mrs. DThedsen, to
oc efer
action on the R3B section of the zoning map.

notified by letter. The motion carried unanimously.

A1r.'bon Schmeiser and Mr., Tony Osborn, to the 'Planning & Zoning

Ret Draft Environmental.Statement'
Iowa City R-14 Urban RenewalProject
Iowa City, Iowa
Because of time 'committments'ISPIRG is not able to provide our own`
detailed comments to the draft EIS ;for the R-14.,pr6jeet. However.
both the :statement and'the�comments;provided by the Citizens,for.
Environmental Action have been thoroughly reviewed bybne,of our
staff members. Based:,on his,recommendations and a, thorough.review.
of 'the issues surrounding Urban Repewal in'Iowa"City, ISPIRG.believes
that the criticisms of Citizens for Environmental Action (CEA) are.'
both accurate and warranted.` Therefore, we have,endorsed their comments.
and ask 'that this be reflected in any further' official' record' of this
matter as'well as the final. statement.
ISPIRG further' believes that two additfonal points need emphasis.' First,
HUD guidelines clearly called for -the preparation of a statement since; .>
final approval of the R-14 project cameAn,July 1970; after the
effective date of NEPA. This was even more true when CEA specifically
requested such a-statement earlylast year in light of the,controver-.
sial nature of the R-14 project. Because of apparent HUD departmental
decisions, a timely and an objective EIS has not been provided to 'give
meaningful
Cityreview
senotf been suspended,Sas sti ulatednby 0EQ , guideline for
project. Y
for the peiod of circulation and comment on the statement.' As pro-
vided by,NEPA the consideration of alternatives becomes ,a mockery if
an agency continues; with"'e proposed' action while the 'environmental'
review is under consideration. Thus the;,City and•Hud`'ire vulnerable
to possible court action.
In light of these situations'and given the poor quality of the State-
ment, as CEA thoroughly.documents, ISPIRG•believes that the document
falls short of the requirements of NEVA, is promotional in scope and
cannot be used as a basis for further action or decisions.
Note: a copy of our commentsl, previously Sincer ly,
sent to HUD in September, are forwarded/j
to you for your information.' !-

Dear Sirs:
I am writing about your highly commendable actions in conjunction with Project
GREEN to promote the setting up of bikeways throughout Iowa City and the
surrounding countryside. Our society is severely afflicted with at least two '
diseases whose origin and clinical expression are in part the result of low
levels of physical activity and exercise. These diseases are obesity and
coronary heart disease. The amounts of untold suffering and deaths which
result from these diseases amount to a`national calamity; ,Our local govern-
ment should certainly set up'favorable 'circumstances which will promote
exercise by makingbikeways convenient for travel to and from work.
While commending your efforts thus far in the establishment of bikeways, I'
nonetheless think that our city could. establish a more meaningful system of
bikeways. For example, Iowa City owns a portion of the Iowa River adjacent
to Rocky', Shore Drive. ,This would make a very pleasant bicycling, thruway.
A great many of the people who work in'.Iowa City, particularly at the
University Hospital complex, live in Coralville. The trafficway between
these two communities is ;adjacent to a very. pleasantly green golf course,
yet it is very difficult either to walk or to ride a'bicycle along the high-
way between Coralville and Iowa City.
What I would like to suggest is, not only the above two, possibilities for
extending the bikeway system, but to ask that our city undertake comprehensive
planning to develop the bikeway concept throughout ourlcommunity and, indeed,
throughout Johnson County. It still is very' dangerous" to ride a bicycle in
n knowing
Iowa City. Parents are worried when', their children venture forth, of owin g
what casualties may result, and many adults do not ride their bicycles in
certain areas because of the traffic problemandthe, dangers thereof. The
bicycle is an established and growing method of transportation and along with
footpaths deserves' consideration as a very important ,method of opening up
the conquest of certain diseases, and ameliorating the energy crisis by,
providing an alternative method of transportation and, finally, in giving a
very pleasant recreational opportunity' for our citizens.

Dear Members:
There have been many controversial opinions on the proposal of the
1W fare increase.
For the youth who depend.on buses to get to the local high schools,
a 10 fare increase would mean that those who did ride to school
will have to find another way of getting to school, either by parent,
friend, or walk, if they cannot afford to take the bus for 25ir.
Right now, the East College bus runs on a really great time schedule.
The youth who do ride the bus to school will nowhave to start earlier.
That can be>,"hassle"',as we say, because some kids work late, sleep -
as•long as possible and hurry fast enough as it is to catch the East
College bus at 8:00 to get to school. Some use lunch money for bus'
fare. I'm sure you can see the conflicts involved for the high school
student? 'How about proposing a "youth pass", which the students could
purchase for i.e., $2.00, and would be good for riding the bus only
before school (8:00 a.m.) and afterwards to get home?
But the high school student won't be the only age group affected by
fare increase The elderly, who live on Social Secruity, those families
on welfare, ADC Mothers, and the handicaped to name a few, will also
be forced to find some other means of transportation.
If they must do so, the likely one would be: a) Cars b) Taxi c) Bike or
d) Walk. How many handicaped people are going to walk downtown?. How
are young unmarrried mothers going to afford a taxi for the short
distance compared to the 15¢ and free transfers? Or walk with a 7 mth.
old',child in winter?
I feel that with the high cost of 'living as itAgoing now, I wonder
how many, will drive instead of taking the bus for 25¢. With more
driving, that is going to stir lup,alot of carbon dioxide for our
pollution -headed city. Perhaps .some ,families will drive in car pools,
but, the number of people who usually ride the bus will decrease for
economic, reasons, if not for those already stated.
Many are in support of keeping 15¢ as the standard fare. If more
ride the bus, pollution can be kept down to a minimum. The ecology-
minded person will vote for the 15T fare to stay; and the people for
which the bus is a major economical way of getting to work and
appointments will also vote in favor of keeping the 15¢.
I'm saying right now that if the price goes up to 25¢, less people
will ,ride the bus, and bus drivers will complain about the decrease
of riders. And you are still thinking of making a price on transfers?
Keep the 15¢ fare. Fight for it to remain! 15¢ is a great bargain,
a pollution savert'...ainecessity.,

To the City Council of Iowa City, Iowa
Gentlemen`. ,
An examination of petitions filed has shown that there are
more than twice the number of candidates for the 26 month term
on the City Council of Iowa City than may be elected, and
therefore pursuant to Section 363.16 of the 1973 Code of
Iowa, it is necessary that`a primary election be held on
October 23, 1973, and the County Auditor, as Commissioner
of Elections will conduct said election.
Playo C.' L. Brandt
FROM: Abbie'
RE: Information
Councilman Czarnecki asked what help we were giving to the
County Commissioner of Elections.
A. First of all, as two of the precinct polling places were
not suitable, primarily because of parking,I investigated
the University Baptist 'Church on West Benton for Precinct
u 9 and a portion of the Music Building - Clapp Recital
Hall for Precinct # 7 and secured (both 'of these. Then`
took Dolores for here approval. I`always inform each
'polling place of the dates and times of the elections,
so that the buildings ,will be open at the early hour and
I convey the 'Council's °appreciation for use of their
facility'. Next year, Dolores will be doing this, so I -
made carbon copies of-the.l7,persons ,so informed, so she
will know whom to contact.
B As Dolores had had all notices of elections furnished by
the Governor, I typed up the 'ones'to use for our primary
and municipal elections; and''Jay,,drafted the notice for
the Charter election, and we typed and provided copies
for her (this included the ballot form)
C. We have furnished large maps for each 'polling ,place -25
D. We are providing 100 copies of the Charter (as published
in the newspaper) to, be attached to each voting machine
and displayed_2 places in each polling place.
E. Jay prepared the letter, and 3'page memorandum on Campaign
Disclosure' Requirements for Local, Elections, a Blank form
for statement of Organization of Political Committee and
a'copy of Senate File 583 - Campaign Contribution Disclosur .
The letter' mentioned that campaign signs are prohibited
in residential zones, etc: We made copies of all these
papers and mailed them to each of the candidates (9) on
September 27th.
F. I finished the parking notice sent to the Police'Department
who will 'then post election parking signs at 10 precincts.
Also, made arrangements with John Dooley at the University
for posting 9; precincts.
G. Thursday; Friday, Saturday and Sunday, this week, I will
be assisting Dolores in setting voting machines. This
assures the Council that 'I have tested each machine' and

MEMORANDUM TO: Council
FROM: Abbie
RE: Information
know that all meters are set at '0'. This also gives
the'Auditor the same protection. We will also spend
Thursday, Friday, Saturday, November 1, 2'and 3rd, re-
setting the machines; and November 12, 13 and 14th re-
setting again for Charter election. Pursuant to 'Chapter
52.22 of the Code, the Council will need to authorize;
the Auditor to unlock the machines for the Charter
election before the resetting on the 12th.
H. A 1973 Municipal Election Questionaire'was prepared
including', terms of Councilmen, and expirations; ;copy
of question and certification of date and result of
election which allowedf4-year staggered terms for
Councilmen (1950); all (ordinances concerning precincts
and'''icertified map; divisions of Home Rule adopted; and
sent to the Auditor for background for Iowa City.
The Iowa City City Council met in informal session on the
16th day of October, 1973 at 12:30 P.M. in the Conference Room at
the Civic Center. Mayor Brandt presiding.
Councilmen present: Brandt, Butherus, Hickerson, White and
Czarnecki. Others present: Wells, Honohan, Pugh, Maune, Bonnett,
Kraft and Stolfus.
The Mayor announced discussion of the Refuse Collection
Report. City Manager Ray Wells called attention to Page 25 which
lists the seven recommendations. He noted alternatives concerning
the collection of refuse: remove from tax base; stay.as now;
private utility? He advised that 50% of the refuse is, brought
in by private haulers. Councilman Czarnecki arrived.
infirmor sussed payment by elderly; ,curb pickup concerning
handicapped; payment by private haulers for their share
of landfill costs; two-way radios; nature of studyproposed,
explained as financial feasibility for public or private system;,
refuse tax base $975,000-5 mills.
The City Manager commented on the meeting with private
enterprise, citizen groups and staff concerning recycling for
newsprint. Their conclusion was to recommend to Council that the
voluntary program explained at the budget hearing be encouraged
and endorsed by the City, and the pilot study by the City not be
initiated at this time. It was concensus of the Council to support
and co-operate this recommendation, and the staff directed to
prepare proposals.
After discussion of recommendation on location of containers,
Council added the words 'or alley' to the sentence, so that it
would read, 'abutting the street or alley of the address of the
home'. Mr. Wells noted that he would like to do three things,
1) set location of containers, 2) reassign the routes, and 3) set
the type of container. Council discussed use of plastic bags,
noting that the State Health Dept. does not have a position on
plastic bags and that the Staff recommends 6 mill weight bags;
& use of the funds; if use of bags, how issued.
Mr. Wells advised that the staff would report back on
amendments to the Code that will be needed.
It was moved by Butherus and seconded by Czarnecki that the
. Council adjourn to executive session to discuss appointments to
Boards and Commissions. Upon roll call Brandt, Butherus,
Czarnecki and White voted 'aye'. Motion carried.
