Mr. Robert Downer, attorney for Mr. Kinney, opened discussion by saying that successful,relocation of The Annex was'a matter of opinion, Mr. Kinney being of the opinion that the business.could not be successfully relocated and therefore filing for a payment in lieu of moving expense with the Department of Urban Renewal. Some important factors considered by Mr. Kinney in the relocation of his business were: proximity to downtown because of the clientele which were mostly University -oriented persons faculty and 'students -- and the space available for relocation. • Mr. Linder stated that the PAC was under, the impression that The Annex was in fact being relocated to the property at 126 South Project Area Committee • July 5, 1973 page two Clinton the former location of the Dotty Dunn Hat Shop. Mr. Kinney emphasized that this was not the present Annex, that in fact, it was a tavern being opened under the name,"The Annex" nnex" by an employee of the present Annex tavern in conjunction with Mr. George Nagle who is purchasing the building. Mr. Kinney also stated that Mr'McLaughlin had never, discussed this development with Mr. Kinney and that the old.corporation was still in effect as long as it operates, then it is dissolved. Mr. Moore!Iasked whether the stockholders were the same in the pre- sent corporation as in the future business. Mr. Downer answered no. Mr. Braverman wondered about the dollar differential between what Mr. Kinney would receive either way, as'a relocatee and as'a dis- placed business who receives a payment in lieu of moving. The payment in lieu of moving was stated as being from $2,500 to $10,000. Jack Klaus reemphasized that, based on other cases and the fact that another tavern was indeed being placed in the downtown, i.e., the new Annex, the Department of Urban Renewal felt"that the busi- ness can be successfully relocated and therefore would not qualify for a payment in lieu of moving. He also emphasized that the business itself does not have the option unless they qualify and in the opinion of the Department, The Annex did not qualify. Mr. Mann wondered if the Project had purchased the property yet. Jack Klaus replied, "No." Mr. Kinney stated that the purchase was dependent on the outcome of the hearing. Mr. Mann wondered how many places cited in the letter from Mr. Jones to Mr. Kinney were available at the present time. No answer was given. Mr. Braverman asked if a rent supplement would be available to Mr. Kinney if,a new place would mean a considerable boost in rent. The answer was no. Mr. Mann asked if Mr. Kinney had been offered any other place in downtown iowa city. Mr. Roberts stated that the Department of Urban Renewal, as he understood its function, was not responsible for find- ing another place of business for businesses being displaced, that the Department would generally assist, however. Jack Klaus again emphasizedthat the point in question was whether or not the business could be successfully relocated. Mr. Braverman stated that there should bel some type of determination as to whether or not Mr. Kinney wants to be relocated. I Mike Jones stated that Mr.McLaughlin felt that the business can be successfully relocated as evidenced by the fact that he is reloca- ting a tavern to the previously -mentioned address on Clinton Street. Mr. Ross stated that there was a difference of, opinion. Mr. Roberts stated that he was under the impression at the time the Project Area Committee voted on the plans for the tavern to be located at 126 South Clinton, The Annex was moving to that location. Mr. Kinney blamed the useof the', same name on Mr. Nagle. Mr. Linder wondered why The Annex was not equated to Michael's Tavern which received a payment in lieu ofmoving. Mr'. Moore stated that the owner of Michael's was in ill health and advised'not,to enter into anew business. Mr. Mann stated that it was a, matter of exposure -- that is, where can Mr. Kinney go so that,,,the exposure is the same as it is now. Mr. Ross wondered where there would be comparable square footage in the downtown area. Mr. Roberts again emphasized, that it was not the responsibility of the Urban Renewal Department to relocate any commercial business. r Mr. Linder stated that he felt Mr'. Kinney would qualify for a pay- ment in: lieu of moving under sections "b" and "c" of'the HUD require- ments. Jack Klaus emphasized that HUD would not concur in a pay- ment in lieu of moving, therefore, local money would ',be,necessary to reimburse Mr. Kinney and the Council would have to concur in the figure. Mr. Ross stated that based on the letter from HUD of January 10th, that he felt HUD should re-examine their decision. The ,Committee then went into closed session to determine whether or not they should concur on Mr. Kinney's'grievance. By a vote 6 for and 3 against, the PAC recommended that Mr. Kinney's claim for a payment in lieu of moving expenses be denied. The meeting adjourned at approximately 5:30 p.m. Resped'Kfully submitt Pat Wilson for R. Patrick Carney, Secret of -0, MINUTES • PROJECT AREA COMMITTEE The Project Area committee met in regular session on October 24, 1973, at 7:30 p.m. in the Conference ROOM Of the Urban Renewal Office. Members Present: Kent Braverman: Patrick Carney Walter Chudwick: Richard Feddersen Henry Linder Helen Louis Russell Mann Ray Mossman Les Moore Glen Roberts George Crawford John Williamson Members Absent Byron Ross Pearl West Tom Wegman (excused) Helen McGreevy staff: Jack Klaus Pat Wilson Nancy Nelson (See attached sheet for members of the press and other guests) The meeting was called to order by Chairman Linder. Approval of the minutes of the last meeting of July 5, 1973, was deferred to the next meeting. This was moved by Mr. Mann and seconded by Mr. Braverman. Jack Klaus stated that Mr. Wegman would not be present, but he was Alliance's not resigning because of pressures from the People because of a possibleabsence at the conflict of interest. His meeting was because of a previous commitment. Mr. Linder recognized Michael Pill, a representative of the People's f and Ms. Patricia Alliance, who read a letter signed by himsel Anderson, stating their opposition to Mr. Wegmanis remaining on the Project Area committee and the Design Review Board and Mr. Fedder- sen's close connection with a member of the Old Capitol group while he sat on the Project Area committee. The letter is filed on record, as accepted by Mr. Linder. Mr. Feddersen questioned why he was named in the letter. Mr. Pill Project Area Committee • October 24, 19713 page two answered that Mr. Feddersen holds stock in the company and there- fore, his opinion might be biased in their favor. Mr. Feddersen emphatically stated that he had no money invested personally, that his wife was a stockholder and he had absolutely no control over his wife's actions in the group. Mr. Williamson pointed out that Mr. Feddersen had been involved in the downtown and its development approximately 20 years before any money had been invested, and therefore he saw no conflict of interest. Mr. Linder then turned the 'meeting over to Jack Klaus who presented the pro . posal of the Old Capitol Business Center Company. Questions that arose during the presentation were asked and answered as they arose. Mr. Braverman asked if there was a limit to the amount of City dollars that would be used in the Project. Jack Klaus stated that commit- ments were made by the City Council when they approved the 1973- 1977 Capitol:Improvements Program!. He stated that a total of $5.150 million was committed to the building of parking facilities. During the presentation of the maps outlining the condominiums to be built, Mr. Carney wondered about the possibility of low income housing being built somewhere in the Project Area. The answer was that unless and until the federal government released housing funds, there would not be a possibility of such housing since the cost would not allow it. Mr. Moore wondered whether there would be a market for these townhouses with Univer sity-oriented people or even townspeople in general. Jack answered that Link!Programs, Inc. had surveyed people in downtown Iowa City as well as hospital and University people and determined that many would prefer living close to downtown. Mr. Moore then asked whether the developer can sell pieces of un- developed land to private families or'individuals. Mr. Klaus answered no. Mr. Crawford asked about the possibility of low income housing in the future. Mr. Klaus stated that there was a section of the Project that could be converted into low income housing along with some of the condominiums if the funds were available. Mr. Braverman wondered where the City's portion of the financing for parking facilities would come from. Mr. Klaus stated thatt most likely the funds would come from revenue bonds. Mr. Roberts wondered if the bus depot would be owned by Old Capitol. The answer was yes, probably leased to the person who runs it. lie also wondered about the possibility of land ownership by small businesses. He was told this would not be possible. Jack Klaus stated that the total completion time for the project would be 6 years from January 1, 1974, to December 31, 1980, or thereabouts. He also stated that the squarefootage of the mall would be 308,350 retail/office space. Mr: Braverman brought, up recent reports that the Clinton Street Mall .tenants were in jeopardy by Old Capitol's plan requiring the modulars be moved prior to previously planned times.'' He was 're- assured by Mrs. Freda` Hieronymus, representative from Old Capitol that the development, would just have to work around the modulars y y p Table in the new devel and that the would stay until space was available opment. Mr. Roberts wondered if the developer cared that Burlington would '. bisect the project area. Jack stated that Burlington was the only, major 'east -west arterial street downtown and would have to remain open. Henry suggested that the committee defer recommendations and a final decision until the Redevelopment' subcommittee had a chance to'meet and make its recommendations He suggested that they try to get back to the Council with a recommendation within 10 days. Mr. Braverman suggested that they then turn the plans over to the Redevelopment subcommittee. Mr. Mann wondered if the City Attorney had made an interpretation as to the legality of the plans.,, Jack Klaus stated that he had and had found no major problems with the plans., The recommendation' was made that the subcommittee should meet and then call the PAC together for a final decision. Jack stated that the first recommendation would probably be'the 'first of many and that after modifications, if any, the PAC would again meet and make recommendations regarding plans and specifications for 'speci- fic parts of the redevelopment. Mr. Feddersen reported on the meeting of the general public held the 'night before the PAC meeting. He stated that he saw the plan: as an incorporation of many previous plans, using the best of each one, with many new innovations. Henry wondered if there had been any objections from the public at that meeting. Mr. Feddersen answered that he thought mostly there were just questions, no serious objections. Mr. Moore thought that ■, Project Area Committee • October 24, 1973 page four there had been one objector. Henry stated that one objective of this plan was to,raise the tax base fasterthanpiecemeal development would have done. Mr. Braver- man didn't agree with that premise. He stated that he felt it important to satisfy the committee with alconcentrated effort to get the job of redevelopment done. Mr. Feddersen stated that the ,final decision was the Council's'. The ownership of small businesses was then discussed in_great detail. Mr. Bravermanstatedthat the Project hadWhichlthel.beensmallbursented to the small business owners as a way by owners could own -a part of the newly -developed downtown, and that the City would be real estate brokers. Mr. Klaus stated that this conhethept had beenthatntimemore than a year ago and had been discussed wit * Mr. williamson moved that, subject to the review of the committee, the PAC should relay to the Council that its initial impression of the plans was 'favorable. The motion died for lack of 'a second. Mr. Moore stated that he wanted to wait until after the election to:. make a recommendation'to the Council. Mr. Feddersen disagreed with dn't really ',make any difference. Mr. this idea, stating that it di Linder wanted to make sure'the general public's impressions were: de. known before a final recommendation was ma Jack suggested the PAC could write the Council a letter making this clear. Mr. Braverman stated there was no rush. Chairman Linder suggested that they report to the Council that the PAC had seen the entire presentation and had referred the matter to the Redevelopment subcommittee for its report. * Feddersen moved that the Chairman be instructed to refer the plans to the Redevelopment Subcommittee for its review who''is-in turn in- structed to return promptly with its recommendation to the full Project Area committee so that the PAC may make a recommendation to the Council. Mr. Braverman seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. Mr. Crawford wondered when the Redevelopment'subcommittee would meet. was Mr. Moore's responsi Mr. Linder answered that that bility as he was chairman: The Chairman then called for New Business. There was none presented. • The Chairman called for old Business. None was presented. r�Uj=�L area committee . October 24, 1973 page five Mr. Ken Haldeman from,Buc's Leathers then made a statement on behalf of the small businesses in downtown Iowa City, particularly those in the Mall who were fearful of being ein lost in the shuffle" of 4 a large corporation and overshadowed 9 P in the covered mall by large ar e chain '.corporations. Jack Klaus responded byat the Cit was committed to a sal b Y the small uai- nesses'as illustrated by initial n developer solicitation. Mr. Carney stated that the Committee itself was not very informing with regard to when and where meetings would be held and solicitation, of ,public input. Mr. Linder stated 'that `all they could do was to pub- lish meeting ublish,meeting times and places and the public couldn't be forced to attend. Mr. Braverman suggested that before any, decision by the PAC was made, they should actively solicit public input, particularlythat of the businesses downtown. Mr. 'Mann then moved that the meeting be adjourned and Mr. Braverman seconded. The meeting was adjourned at; 10:25 p.m. Respe tfully submitted, Pat Wilson for R.

Such screening may be provided by plantings, by stone, brick or wood structures which are at least 4 feet high!" As a firm located in the area proposed to become Central Business Service (CBS) zoned and as a possible developer of propertyadjacent to that which we presently occupy, we respect the intent of the above paragraph but wish to point but reasons the paragraph should not be added to the Zoning Code. Where a business, such as ours, requires short-term customer parking places, such screening would create a serious safety hazard. At tile street entrance to customer parking areas, this screening }could cause a "blind intersection". The likelihood of accidents involving vehicles and also of vehicles and sidewalk pedestrians is quite high. Further, such screening would, where -customer parking is in front of the building, seriously limit the amount of building which would be visible ,from the street. We feel such visibility is essential to maintain a' business image.

We also ;believe that the maj- ority of the Council has not given its approval to°this kind of action and that once again the City Attorney is stepping beyond his capacity as counsel to the City and entering a; political arena that betrays his motivation. This is all the more apparent when you remember similar efforts by him during the ramp appeal.

ISPIRG respectfully requests that the Council adopts a resolution' to censure Mr. Honohan for his attempts; to both intimidate'members of the', public and for acting without Council intitiative; they should fu iter direct him to prepare bnly'thai testimony which will sub stantiate the City's claim to the necessity of the projects.

We trust that there will be made available, at these meetings, a listing of the items in the bid ;document, plus the response to each item. In addition, we request that the City administration make available the attached information to the citizens of Iowa City by November 20. We are aware that there is considerable expense involved in the preparation of this type of materials for citizen information. We do, "however, believe that such information will assist in identifying, clarifying and resolving the issues and will result in positive citizen input that will enable 'the community to reach definitive decisions. The time for this analysis will, in the long _run, save a great amount of time in the final execution and imp!e- mentation of ubran renewal in Iowa City.' It it would be helpful, we would volunteer time to assist the staff in the development of the requested material. We wish to reaffirm our long-term support or urban renewal and we request this information because we believe that its availability Will enable the community to evaluate and respond to the proposed redevelopment and the ,related policies. As soon as this information is available, it is our intention to study such in detail, to the end that we can make positive sugges- tions to you and to Old Capital Business Center Company. Sincerely, Robert L. Welsh Chairman, CBIC CBIC requests the City administration to make available to the citizens of Iowa 'City the following: 1. A listing of the items to which the city has and is com- mitting itself, along with cost figures and the basis for such action. Ex.: 1,200 car parking facility University Mall $ x - Parking Policy, Urban Renewal Contract 2. A listing of the items which are suggested by the developers, along with, cost figures and the basis for such action. Ex.: Closing of Madison from Iowa to Burlington Wo Cost, No Income(?), Desire of University for Pedestrian Campus 3. A summary of the various policies and agreements that are basic to the bid proposal. (Ex.: Parking policy: it is the City's responsibility to provide parking. on -street parking should be eliminated,,etc; Urban Renewal, Contract with HUD binding the city to .....;'One developer bid, (along with reasons). 4. A project analysis of major items such as: Parking (# of spaces now Present, projected number of spaces) Traffic flows Environmental Impact, etc. 5. A summary of the fiscal implications of the bid proposals, including ',costs method of finance and cost to citizens in the form of taxes, direct payment (ex.: parking fees) and effect on tax base. 6. A listing of the items in the proposal, along with any evalua- tive statement or items for consideration. Ex.: Sale of Clinton Street _Parking lot on January 2, 1975 for $158,000. Will the elimination of this lot, with a capac- ity of cars prior to the construction of a parking facility cause a parking problem? What can be done to lessen this problem? Is it good to sell this property, which was not in the Urban Renewal bid package? Ex.: Demolition of College Block Building - the city ad- ministration agrees/disagreeswith this proposal (plus reasons).

PROCLAIMER'CERTIFICAT13 RELATIVE TO ESTABLISHMENT OF FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR PROPERTY TO BE ACQUIRED C.L. Brandt, the duly elected, qualified, and acting Mayor of the City of Iowa City, herein called the "Local Public Agency,",hereby .certify that I have been authorized by Resolution No. 70-438, duly adopted by the City Council Of the Local Public Agency at a regular meeting on December 1, 1970';, as set forth in the minute 'book on file at the office of the City Clerk, to make the following true certification and that the statements contained herein are and correct to the best Of my knowledge and belief: 1• Each parcel, City-University Urban Renewal Area, Project No. Iowa R-14; listed in the attachment to this proclaimer certificate has been appraised by at least two qualified independent, professional real estate written and signed co appraisers and a tained'in the Local,Public AgencyufilesPch raisal is con- Z• Each such appraisal has been reviewed by E. Norman Bail requested by ey, Public a qualified review appraiser under contract to the Local Agencyby ,,,and all corrections, revisions, or additions such reviewer have been made by the original appraisers. 3. The reviewer has prepared a written report which indicates that the appraisals are complete and consistent in the factual data contained therein, comply with existing statutory and administrative requirement's of the Depart- ment of Housing and Urban' Development,' and are acceptable for the determination of fair market value. 4. Based upon such appraisals and the review thereof, the Local Public Agency has established the fair market of each parcel listed herein and all documentation related to such determination is contained in the Local Public Agency files. 5• The latest budget amount allowable for real estate acqui- sition including amounts available in contingencies as approved by HUD on March 1, 1971 is not exceeded by the sum of the following: a• Cost of property previously acquired. b. Acquisition prices previously approved by HUD for properties not acquired. c. Fair market value determinations previously made by the LPA for properties not 'acquired but included in prior proclaimer certificates. d. Fair market value determinations for properties included in the proclaimer being filed. e. The acquisition prices of the remaining properties to be acquired as those prices were estimated for the purpose of the above mentioned budget amount allowable for real estate acquisition. 6., This certificate is issued pursuantto and consistent with HUD Omaha Area Office letter 7.2 PTR(ET), dated April 27, 1971, regarding use of the proclaimer system by the LPA. LISTING OF PARCELS TO BE ACQUIRED PARCEL NUMBER AREA IN SQUARE FEET 101-7 101-10 9,000 7,950 The subject property is a-small,'older single family home in good condition. Unfortunately, it is in an area'. where multi -family or office use .would be a better land use. In addition it would not be easily convertable to multi'-fanily'and even if it were, it would be underutilizing the land because the income the 'present building could earn in any feasible use would be significantly below what the property could earn as apartments or offices. Therefore, even though the house is in good physical condition, it represents an underutilization of the property and therefore an interim use. It is my opinion that the the, investor would buy the property essentially for land value with 'a'little extra for the contributory value of the building as an 'interim use between acquisi- tion and redevelopment. IL a buyer would pay $2500 unit for this land (which is concis - tent with the top end of actual market sales) then the land is '',worth e,g, 7950 sq,ft. -. 750 sq,ft',/w7it 10,6 units or 10 units X $2500 = $250000. if the house as an interim Value of $2500 then the property is worth $27,500. In my opinion, this is'a reasonable estimate of this property's market value and is consistent with the two appraisals. I disagree with some of the comparables IARCO employs in its appraisal on the grounds that they constitute better and more intensive land uses than does the subject house on its lot, In addition, their analysis via the income approach is tenuous at best. Similarly, after inspecting the property, I have difficulty with Waters projection of 9 parking spaces at$15,00 each per month. None -the -less,, the appraisals are procedurally and methodologically acceptable.

Parsons Date 11/1/73 November 1, 1973 4. To: Rod Parsons From: Norman Bailey Subject: 101-7 (Wolfe and Glasgow) This is a good reouildable as per code -size of lot. It has a good location but does not have a level terrain. The front of!thc lot is appreciably above street level. At present it has two large old houses on it that are connected' with a newer one story apartment, The large house on tho rear 'of the lot was moved in and therefore has a nearly new basement. This ',pro- perty is operated essentially as a rooming house, The 'property has a significant amount of deferred maintenance - e,g „ painting,' window repairs and general cleanup. Surprisingly the "bone structure" of the buildings appear to be in good shape. It is my feeling that a prudent investor would buy this property with the intention of curing the deferredmaintenance items and,porhaps doing some upgrading and then hold it with the knowledge that at some future time it would be likely to be redeveloped. Because it"would need some immediate maintenance repairs, the buyer would be likely to reflect these costs in his offer. It is my feeling that it has a market value of about 4 times its gross income or say, 41X $10,000 or $40,000, CITY OF IOWA CITY, IOWA CITY-UNIVERSITYURBAN RENEWAL PROJECT IOWA R-14 Listing of Parcels to be Acquired Parcel Square 1st.

M, The Iowa City City Council met in informal session on the 6th day of November, 1973 at 12:30 P.M. in the Conference Room at the Civic Center. : Mayor Brandt presiding. Councilmen present: Brandt, Czarnecki, White and Butherus.' Absent: Hickerson. Others present: -Wells, Honohan, Bonnett, Pugh, Maune, Zelenka, Stolfus, Taylor, Klaus. The Mayor announced discussion of certain aspects of the urban renewal proposal, specifically the College Block Building and allocations for energy. City Manager Ray Wells stated that the urban renewal proposal needed a complete analysis before coming to the Council, and noted that a copy of the proposal had been forwarded to HUD, and that the preliminary findings from their review had been very favorable. Finance Director, Joe Pugh, reported on the meeting with Attorneys Hayek and Honohan and bond counsels Ken Haynie and Ron Norene. He noted that the Council would have a number of options in financing, and that the Staff was still exploring alternatives. The City Manager presented the fact sheet as distributed at the Roosevelt School area public meeting. Jack Klaus explained the one reservation that HUD did have, concerning the College Block Building, and noted the procedure that HUD suggested be followed as 1) hire engineer for detailed cost estimate to restore building to original status, 2) hire appraiser, use economic approach to value of land and 3) search for rehabilitator of similar project for costs; see what land alone is worth. If after these approaches, the highest value arrived at is for land alone, the building should be demolished. Several questions were asked and answered. There was no objection to staff proceeding with the steps out- lined by Mr. Klaus. Deputy Director of Public Works, George Bonnett, discussed the 1995 Trip Tables which should be coming from the State Highway Commission. After discussion, the Mayor stated that he would contact the chairman of the Highway Commission con- cerning the priority of this item. Mr. Bonnett noted that the proposed urban renewal Mall does not prohibit emergency and maintenance access. • 0 Page 2 Council Discussion November 6, 1973 Mr. Klaus then explained the allocation of fuel by Iowa - Illinois Gas and Electric, for applicants in the urban renewal. zone and for those moving outside the zone. The limit of natural gas for new customers is 350,000 BTU's per hour, with no gas for buildings under 6000 square feet. The Mayor noted that new buildings should use less fuel. Councilman White questioned if the Mall roof system would be adaptable to solar heating. Mr. Pugh explained, the tax allocation method of financing as alternative to present methods of financing provided for in the Home Rule Bill, noting that it would require a referendum. The City Manager summarized the actions requested by the Staff as l) with the Mayor,, to continue the contact on the Environmental Impact Statement 2) proceed with the College Block building as outlined' by Mr. Klaus, 3) Proceed with a design consultant -Peters Martinsons, 4) proceed with develop- ment analyst (air -rights) and Mayor contact the Highway Commission concerning the traffic study. There was no objection from the, Council. Councilman White suggested future discussion concerning the 'Mall and underground parking. The City' Manager said that i HUD thought it was good, an environmental improvement.
