Next, Costantino referred to a notice that she had read in the paper concerning a Secretarial Conference entitled "Today's Secretary" which was to be presented by the University of Iowa.

Discussion with Director of Employee Relations on Affirmative Action Paul Ne6hauser first posed the question,t6 Smee�d as to whether or not he was acting as an EEO officer. Discussion again ensued as to whether or not:there might not be.a possible conflict of interest if the EEO officer and the Personnel officer were one person. Neuhauser indicated that the,Affirmative Action Policy passed by the City Council specified that a person be designated as an EEO officer.

Smeed indicated that part- time record keeping had never been in existence in the City and 116 • was now in the process of extending 'the �record-keeping system for Part-time employees and applicants as well. Once more accurate data is being kept, a more accurate reflection of the City's hiring practices should emerge. Hoy indicated that the important thing to consider now was how to eliminate apparent disparity in hiring A1:1 .11 It, page, 3 • Human Relations Commission Minutes November 19, 1973 in the future so that the 60%-33% dichotomy would no longer exist. Mori Co : stantino requested that religion and creed be added to the applicant survey card. Paul Neuhauser indicated that the classification still listed things such -as Street Maintenance Man. Smeed indicated that the Classification formally read as such but, on the personnel transaction forms the names are changed. The Personnel Office is in the process of changing these classification titles. Paul Neuhauser requested a breakdown,by classification for both male and female in future reports. Mori Costantino inquired as to Police and ;Fire examinations and why no women were in the Fire Department.' Smeed indicated that 'recruitment for Police and Fire Departments began in April as tests were given once a yearand that they would be actively recruiting , women at that time. John Balmer questioned a section'of the report entitled "Features of the Iowa City Community in terms of Affirmative Action'.." Speci- fically, the part of the section which he,was most concerned about read, "Generally, a non -college oriented minority individual would not feel comfortable entering the Iowa City area for fear of further alienation." After discussion of this,nsection, Don Hoy asked whetherthe City and the Human Relations commission could find some : way to work with the minority population concerning recruitment for employment. Celia Roberts questioned Sme'ed as to his reasons for making'such a statement.After discussion she agreed with the statement. Part of the problem, she felt; was that attitudes were developed at the elementary school level. Although she realized that part of it comes from the home environment, the school system is very much a creator of attitudes such as this. I Don Hoy indicated mbers of the commission to was difficult at times for me that :it realize that such a statement could actually be true, for most of the City and members of the'Commission were quite content in Iowa couldn't understand why anyone would not want to move here. Consequent. ly, the Human Relations Commission felt that they should be concerned , with this overall problem, and until this problem is resolved, the City will continue to have,problems with Affirmative Action based on the attitudes of the Iowa City community. Concerning goals and timetables and affirmative action for women, a member of the audience asked some questions about the report. the Essentially the question facing both the city of Iowa City and Human Relations Commission is what evaluation standards shall be used -- should the City have proportiona1 representationin their representation employment in total, or should they have proportional of the community in each category of employment. ■I page.4 • HumanRelations Commission Minutes November '19,,1973,' The Commission then discussed 'both philosophical and technical aspects of goals and timetables and ,the :usefulness of such. Paul Neuhauser asked what jobs tests were being given for. Smeed indicated that pre-employment questioning or interviewing was -a form of testing that needed to be validated. He also ,indicated that he was now setting the machinery in motion for validation, first one has to have, statistics before tests can be validated.' Written tests are actually given in the clerical area, both a typing test and.a clerical aptitude test. Other than Civil Service testing this is all that the City did in the form.of formal written tests. Again, he indicated anything used in the selection' process' must be validated. Dick Braverman inquired whether the Human have some type of input into this reRelations Commission could port before it is sent to the EEOC in'.Kansas City. Costantino felt that the Commission' could better understand the report if it indicated more comprehensive data - such data would include breakdowns by pay classifications, minority status, male and female. A member of.the audience asked if the Commission, would be receptive to the idea of a public.meeting.or a public forum to discuss the question of',Iowa City community,recep - tivity to minorities and also affirmative action for women., The Commission agreed that such an open forum would probably; be -bene- ficial for them in trying to decide what can be done in these two areas.'' On a straw vote it was decided that they 'should have two separate special meetings to discuss these two 'items. Sunday, * December 2,, at 7:00 p.m, is the date for an open public meeting on affirmative' action' for women in the City government. 'Sunday, December 9, at 7:00 p.m. is the date for an open meeting on the Openness of the Iowa City community to minorities. Celia Roberts indicated ,that Trinity Episcopal Church has a social hall which. Might be available for the Commission's use to have these meetings'. (It has been confirmed that;the Trinity' Episcopal'Church'will allow the Human Relations Commission to use their lounge on both these dates at 7:00 p.m. for the 'meetings.) The Commission will also be looking into the possibility of child care facilities during these two meetings. Since the City Council was receiving this 'same information the next day, Tuesday November 20, 1973, Don Hoy indicated that the City Council may ,wish `to have a joint meeting with the Human Relations Commission to discuss affirmative action for the, City of Iowa City. -VAS UL' Kea TO Co so; - --- The School liason committee had no report as they had not yet met With th'e Superintendent of Schools or the School Board.

Paul Neuhauser indicated that he would like to have both John Hayek and Jay Honohan attend the next regular meeting of the Human Relations Commission, which would be December 17, 1973. It was moved by Paul Neuhauser and seconded by Dick Braverman to,'go into closed session for consideration of cases now in conciliation. Upon a'role call vote - Hoy, Braverman, Neuhauser, Costantino, Smith, Roberts, and Balmer voted yes.

I am one of those who feel America has been in the habit of too easily demolishing its'', past beauty and achieve- ments. Cbntempo'rary architectural styles are economical and ''functional but that is all that, can be said for them. \ Having the momentary comfort of an enclosed mall is not worth the price of loosing all beauty, contact with nature and air and sunlight, individuality, of design,'and feeling that the past can be included in the present as we move toward ,the futllxe."Being in a mall is like being in a', tomb, underground,where everything is artificial -- I hope', in God's name that you can stop the construction of a dorm town mall. The downtown would loose all of Its character and distinctive- ness. The city is under an illusion if it thinks making downtown into a shopping center will draw more business in: Towncrest and till will 'still be more convenient for the large -1 bl' t dent ulation will suburban areas, and the non -mo e,s u p p still be the main source of downtown income. Is there no posibility that contractors can come in who would vate and restore old building frames for new e Ib none of you know such towns s as L ouisberg, ibusiness as`ouisberg, i Pennsylvania, which ,in restoring its old town character ham become"centerw of tourism and ommerce, not because of convenience but because of .ttr BEAUTY? If the down- town needs to compete with the shopping centers, should they not be different, emphatically so? But even if economically (there's more to life than money) Old Capital's plan is preferable, I would 'choose to retain what will keep the city attractive'Qa1L profitable in the lg'run : beauty and civility. Wouldn't the city ,turn. into a hidious hodge-podge of incongruent architectural styles were this plan enacted: think of #1 how an enclosed ,'all would clash with the old Capital building.! If ,the city wants to Improve the downtown, whey not be the first town in Iowa to plant trees on the main streets, and turn them into pedestrian walkways as Minneapolis has so sucessfully done?.?.

We feel it is imperative to the future'suc- cess`of downtown Iowa City that action be taken as soon as possible. The current proposal reflects, in our; opinion, some very concrete in- put by the citizens of thisscommunity who are concerned: that further delays in adopting a workable program will seriouslyimpair' any future development. We therefore would urge each Council Person to endorse this proposal at their earliest possible convenience so that Iowa City may start a logical and planned redevelopment program as quickly as possible.

This is readily understandable since Mud -Jacking deals largely with indeterminable subsurface conditions which are virtually impossible to cover with!a rational and comprehensive specification as can be done with concrete paving, for example. "In the end, the value received by the City must depend,on the experience, judgment and integrity, of the Mud -Jacking contractor, regardless of unit prices quoted: In your program there is also the need, as indicated in the Specifications, for ability<to handle the work so as to minimize further damage to slabs, many',of which we have observed to be already cracked. Our proposal is conscientiously based on -furnishing a balanced combination of, equipment, materials and personnel which we feel will result in maximum production in minimum time atleastcost to the City, that is, the most square yards per dollar. We respectfully request, therefore;' that these factors be considered in your evaluation of bids received for this project. Sincerely yours, ,i W. G. JAQUES COMPANY W. B.

Monday, November 26, 1973 City Council City of IowaCity Iowa City, Iowa Members of the City Council: I request that sewer service be extended on North Dodge Street Court to service my lots ..,/{5 and #6 .. of;Ricords sub-division, a division of the City of Iowa City ,by,annexation during 1940. Sanitary improvement in this location is long past due. A request for rezoning this area was made during Aprillof 1972 and this request was denied by Planning and Zoning.An offer to plan the area so that the streets would be adequate, the paving provided, the sewer provided, the water' provided, and a re-subdivision of the ,land be filed was ignored by the planning and zoning commission. Therefore, I request that only sanitary sewer main be furnished for these lots. Stubs will not be required since there will be no paving and the builder may run direct to the wyes. Bonstruction of two structures on lot #5 and ,two structures on lot y6 are planned for April 1, 1974.' Itis my hope that I will not have to join my neighbors and use septic tanks for these buildings.

Bonnett, Acting Director of Public Works RE: Burlington Street Widening Project it As a3 resilt of some of the questions, which were raised during the regular Council meeting of November 27, 1973, pertaining to the subject project, the Street Engineer has completed'a - capacity analysis for varying width: alternatives at the inter- section of Dubuque and Burlington Streets. It is felt that this intersection is atypical of the', conditions which exist on Burlington Street:and is representative of volume reductions j which would be experienced by altering the plans as they have 414 currently been presented to Council. ! The following is the results of the capacity analysis: ! ROADWAY DESIGN ANNUAI. AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC CGPACITY AT LEVEL OF SERVICE C 4 12 -foot lanes with one - 12 -foot turning lane 22,000 4'- 12 -foot lanes without turning lane 12,200 4 - 10 -foot lanes without turning lane 10,100 As can be seen from the above information, the capacity of four 12 -foot lanes without a turning lane is 55% of the capacity if the turning lane is installed. Also, it should be noted, that four 10 -foot lanes will give the public only 45"s of the capacity of the four 12 -foot lanes with one 12 -foot turning lane as designed.' It should be noted that the above capacity analysis has been computed at level of ','service C which is the design capacity of an urban''street. Please find attached to this Memorandum a copy of a series of photos from the ligghway Capacity Manual delineating the various levels of service and how it appears on a street. It should be noted that',a significant safety hazard is experienced if we operate at capacities which will result in levels of service 99 beyond C.

MI -Mil 0 I*nrt I or app,., -al of All urban mnewil imilertL To, conclude this part of the R-14 Critique, Citizens for Environmental Action make the following comments: 1. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 and the Guidelines of the Council on Environmental Quality, providing for an environmental impact statement, have long applied to the R-14 project. 2. The language,of the Department of,Housing,and. Urban Development's "Policies, Responsibilities, and Procedures" dictated the issuance of an environmental impact, statement as. long as two years ago, 3. It is the responsibility of governmentalagenciesto apply statutory and re fgulatory environmental protection measures; it �� should not be the, responsibili ty Osmall, independent3,v financed,'! private 'environmental organizations to invoke such protection through litigation. 4.: It is ironical that, if CEA had commenced litigation, a far more timely environmental impact statement very probably would have been ordered, and the environmental assessment would haveI belong since been completed. 5. The suspension,of administrative actions during the review and consideration of an environmental impact statement, the specifies of which were cited in hr. Heintz' letter, continue to be mandated by regulatory law. 6. The environmental issues, although no less urgent two years ago, or a year ago, am now far.more visible and more widely appreciated (the editorial, "Let's do something about the energy crisis," on the first page of Section,B, the Des Moines Sunday Register of September 23t!1973, is reprinted as pages 9 and 10 of this Critique as a recent example). These issues include mass transit subsidy, automobile dependence and subsidy, parking ramps, fuel shortages, energy conservation, and complex source analysis. 7. Due consideration and review of this environmental impact statement, with full consideration of altermativeso including energy saving alternatives, is correspondingly more important. 8. Citizens for Environmental Action is forced to devote some of its resources to. procodural issues, but of course would prefer to concentrate itn attention on substantive environmental questions, which comprine nome of the majorproblemn of public',policy in our time. 9.

STAFF REPORT Planning & Zoning Commission November, 29, 1973 SUBJECT: Z-7315. Rezoning request of Southgate Development Co. from R3B to C2 (vic. south of Hollywood Boulevard and east of Broadway Street). Date filed: 11/7/73. 45 -day limitation: 12/22/73. EXISTING The subject property consisting CONDITIONS: of part of Lot 1, Block 2 of Braverman Center Addition, is bounded on the north and east by Hollywood Boulevard and U.S. Highway 6, on the west by a Proposed office complex located in a C2 zone, and on the south by the Colony Apartments located in anR3B zone (see location map). Farther to the west,is located the K-Mart'department store and east of Hollywood Boulevard are duplexes located in an R2 zone. STAFF Zoning is probably the single ANALYSIS: most important legal device available to stabilize and preserve property values. Conversely, without 'zoning or other legal restraints there can be no assurance that land uses will not be located in such a manner as to have a deleterious effect upon incompatible land uses. Provisions for transitional uses are, therefore, needed to protect certain commercial and industrial uses from others and particularly from residential areas. Office districts are perhaps best suited to provide a transition from general business districts to residential districts because of the limited activity, hours of operation, and outdoor adver- tising associated with 'such enterprises.: Because the subject tract is located directly adjacent to a multi -family complex, it is important that the property retain its present status as an office use and that such retail businesses and personal service establishments as are permitted in the C2 zone be discouraged. It is equally important that a logical transition of homogeneous uses be established to discourage the "hodge podge" type of development. Although land lying directly to the west and contiguous to the subject parcel is zoned C2, it is be' ing developed for office use. For this reason also, it is more desirable if the subject parcel is retained in an office type district. ": Wuht`NWKVIUN: dation that the requested rezoning to C2 be denied. COMMENTS: The erroneous position taken by many cities is the attitude that residential apartments should be used to -buffer undesirable uses from singlefamily homes." Although in some cases, if properly done, apartments and, for that matter, single' family homes can be ,located near a'commercial center,, there is no reason to assume that apartment dwellers „ though they may be renters', are any less worthy of the same protection from the undesirable effects of, commercial activity as are residents of single family homes. Furtherly, as is generally the case, there are more people exposed to such conditions because of a higher permitted density of "development There is presently under construction 'a proposed office complex west of Broadway Street and south of Hollywood Boulevard. Further consideration should perhaps be given to.the establish- ment of an.Office/Transitional Zone primarily for office use as a buffer between residential and commercial uses. Such a district would logically be'located`along the west side of Broadway Street and include the subject parcel. ,, lVerOF z'!_ evGi' 2 i STAFF REPORT Planning &'Zoning Commission • November 29, 1973 SUBJECT: V-7308.- Vacation of the east 10 feet of the south 120 feet of Hutchinson Avenue north of Park Road. Date filed: 10/31/73. 45 -day limitation: 12/15/73. REASON FOR Attached herewith is a letter REQUESTING submitted by Mr. William F. VACATION Sueppel on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Rosenbaum, who reside on Lot 5 of ,Block J in Black's Park Addition to the City of Iowa City, requesting the vacation of the east 10 feet of the south 120 feet of Hutchinson Avenue north of Park Road (see attached plat). As stated in said letter, an addition to their residence encroaches upon the platted right-of-way of Hutchinson Avenue approximately seven feet creating problems in any future sale or financing of their, property., STAFF Although there is a platted ANALYSIS: 60 foot right-of-way width dedicatedfor future access into Black's Park Addition, Hutchinson Avenue north of Park Road is virtually non-existent serving merely as a common means of access to residences located at the northeast and northwest corner of`,the intersection. Since according to the Subdivision Code, ;local streets are required to have a minimum width of only 50 feet; the vacating of 10 feet would appear to be in order. Unfortunately, the right-of-way of Hutchinson Avenue south of Park Road is offset easterly 20 feet from the right-of-way north of Park Road (see cross 'section detail); the subject vacation would create an 'additional offset of five feet. Jogs at street intersections of less than 125 feet 'should 'be avoided to eliminate traffic hazards caused as a result of turning movements negotiated in crossing the intersection. Hutchinson Avenue south of Park Road presently consists of a 20 to 22 foot asphaltic paved surface. Should it be desirous to improve the street in accordance with City specifications, it is recommended as a''suitable alternative to the problem that it be constructed at a width of 22 feet back-to-back of the curb and a reverse curve be constructed near the approach to the inter- section as illustrated in the cross section detail. If and when Hutchinson Avenue north of Park Road is improved, it should be located as far east in the right-of-way as practicable which would then afford a near congruous pavement alignment with Hutchinson Avenue',south of Park Drive. • It may', be noted that the petitioners are requesting vacation of the south 120, feet of Hutchinson Avenue although their property is 150 feet in depth. As was 'mentioned in the letter of -2 - request, Doctor and Mrs. Charles A. Skaugstad own the property immediately north and east of the Rosenbaum's property. 'Should they 'decide to develop 'their property; their interest is to replat Black's Park Addition and, curve Hutchinson Avenue northeasterly to avoid severe, topographical limitations (see cross section detail). To do so would necessitate the retention of the extra width right-of-way. Finally, it is suggested that if and when Hutchinson Avenue north of Park Road is improved, that it be'constructed 'at a width of, 22 feet back-to-back of ',curb in order to ,provide more green space from the paved surface to the residence at the northwest corner of the intersection which has 'little or no frontyardsetback and to permit.grading adequate side slopes. For the latter reason, it is important that a construction easement be - maintained over the 10 foot by 120 foot vacated right-of-way to avoid the probable construction of small retaining walls a sizable expense: STAFF It is the Staff's recommendation RLCOMDiENDATION: that the east 10 feet.of the south 120 feet of Hutchinson Avenue north of Park Road be vacated but that a construction easement be maintained over that portion of the vacated right-of- way which.is not built, upon. ` City Yof Iowa Cit MEMORANDV M DATE: October 31, 1973 TO: Planning and Zoning Commission FROM: City Council RE: Referral At the October 30th meeting of the City Council, the letter from Atty.Sueppel,requesting vacation of portion of Hutchinson Avenue was received and filed and referred to the Planning and Zoning Commission for report and recommendation.

The above described property is located on the east side of Hutchinson Avenue, north of Park Road. At one time, apparently over 20 years ago, an extension was made on the residence located on this property and apparently a portion of this extension Is located within. the 60 foot right-of-oway of Hutchinson Avenue. This matter obviously creates problems as far as the Rosenbaum's are concerned in any future sale or financing of this property. The purpose of this letter is to ask that the east 10 feet of the south 120 feet of Hutchinson Avenue north of Park Road be vacated. This will leave available right-of-way, of 50 feet for the first 120 feet and for 60 feet thereafter to the north. Doctor and Mrs. Charles A.

Mr. Philip A. Leff is the attorney for Doctor and Mrs Skaugstad and Phil and I will cooperate with the City Attorney, the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council in order to'expedite 'this matter.

Vacation of Lower West Branch Road between Rochester Avenue and Amhurst Street. Date filed: October 30, 1973. STAFF With ,the complete reconstruction ANALYSIS: of Rochester Avenue to meet arterial street standards, the City is considering the vacation' of Lower West Branch Road between Amhurst Street and Rochester Avenue to eliminate the hazardous intersection of Lower Branch Road with Rochester Avenue. It is the City's further consideration to directly connect Amhurst Street, designed and constructed to secondary arterial street standards with a 66 foot right-of-way width and a paved surface width of 36 feet back-to-back of curb, to Rochester'Avenue and terminate Lower West 'Branch 'Road at Amhurst Street (see development plan). According to the Principles and -:Practice of Urban Planning edited by William I. Goodman and, Eric C. Freund, Professors of Planning at the University of Illinois';, streets are divided into four categories as follows: Local (residential) streets perform the function of providing access from residences to,secondary'arterial 'or collector streets which then ,feed into major arterial streets. Their secondary function is the movement of traffic as opposed to major streets. Collector and secondary arterial streetslfilter traffic from local'streets before their capacity is exceeded and then conduct it to, arterial streets. Land access should be a secondary function of a collector, and its design "and operation should reflect this fact. Local streets should not cross the collector directly nor should collectors form a continuous, system,, since there may be a tendency for traffic to use the collector as an arterial, thus violating one of the basic principles of 'residential planning to keep through traffic out. Arterial streets are designed primarily to move large volumes of traffic rather thanrovide a means of access to abutting ng property. For this reason, it is important that limited access along,such streets be encouraged; every access onto an arterial street' becomes a point of conflict with traffic movement which increases' almost geometrically with the increase in the volume of traffic. Rochester Avenue as well as Scott Boulevard are logically intended to function as major arterial streets effectuating a delineation of neighborhoods. Lower West Branch Road presently is in conflict with the above street classifications because of its function as a local, collector and arterial street -- it serves as a means, of access to adjoining residential property, collects, -2- traffic from Amhurst Street and Oberlin Street, and provides a shortcut for northwesterly bound traffic on Scott Boulevard which encourages through trafficviolating, as mentioned above, a basic principle to keep through traffic out of the neighbor- hood. By terminating West 'Branch Road at Amhurst Street, through traffic is partially discouraged from using it as an arterial street function. Amhurst Street, on the other hand, is, as ;mentioned above, designed to function as''a,collector street and should connect directly with Rochester'Avenue as the street classification system wouldindicate. Lower West Branch Road intersects with Rochester Avenue at an extremely acute angle of less than 20 degrees.' Such inter- sections should in all cases be avoided. Requiring the driver approaching the intersection on Lower West Branch Road to actually look back to view oncoming vehicles on Rochester Avenue is a definite safety hazard as, past accident reports world indicate. As the area becomes more urbanized and the volume of traffic on .Rochester Avenue'. increases, "'a traffic light, a sizable expense to the City,; would, in all probability, be needed to 'eliminate traffic accidents. Finally, the vacation of Lower West Branch Road would permit a more suitable development of, the undeveloped quadrant at the southwest corner of Rochester Avenue and Amhurst Street as the attached layout would suggest. Basically, the layout emphasizes: limited access to Rochester Avenue by terminating local streets with turn-a-rounds creating more 'desirable lots and feeders to Amhurst Street via T-intersections. STAFF Based on the foregoing con RECOMMENDATION: elusions, it is the Staff's recommendation that Lower West Branch Road be vacated between Amhurst Street and Rochester Avenue. rt •:0 TO: City Council City of Iowa City, Iowa We,,the undersigned, residents of Iowa City, Iowa, object to the vacation of Lower West Branch Road connecting Rochester Avenue and Amherst Street in Iowa City, Iowa, and submit this ,petition herewith.

We are also petitioning, the City Council to amend the subdivision code, Chapter 9.50, Section 9.50.5 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Iowa, to require park land to be designated in any future residential development in Iowa City. Presently, the Hollywood Manor Subdivision includes approximately 200 families living in single and two family units in addition to two apartment complexes. These families have over 250 children, many of preschool age. We understand that 147 new housing units, sixty-one of which may be two family units, will be added soon as Hollywood Manor Addition, Part V. In all probability there will be a proportional increase in the number of children to be added to the neighborhood. Because yards in this area are small and imagination and energy of children in great, there have been many instances of mishaps and, so far, only near tragedies with children and automobiles in the streets. Fortunately, many streets are now dead end but when new development has been completed these dead end streets will become through streets, further compounding the likelihood of disaster. Our closest park, next to Grant Wood School, re- quires' the use of transportation because of distance and accessibility, Small preschoolersmust also share unequally the facilities with children attending school. It does not satisfy the need of a neighborhood park with easy access without resort to transportation. i i We believe that once the final approval is given by the City Council for the proposed Hollywood Manor Addition, Part V, no further possibility will exist to satisfy a basic and definite need for a neighborhood park. We are offering three Possibilities for a solution to this need: I. An immediate readjustment of City priorities toallocate funds to the Parks and Recreation Commission to purchase land to be designated as a neighborhood park In the Hollywood Manor development 2. Remand to the Planning and Zoning Commission the preliminary Plat for the Hollywood Manor Addition pending evaluation and possible adoption of an amendment to the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Chapter 9.50, Section 9.50.5 to provide for community open space for neighborhood parks in any new resi- dential development. 3. A commitment by the Iowa City Parks and Recreation' Commission to the developer to purchase a segment of land located In the Hollywood Manor Addition, Part V, to be designated as a neighborhood park', when funds become available and for the developer to set aside and reserve this section of land for purchase by the Clty. We ask that with your assistance, one of these, or perhaps another, suitable solution to our needs will be found'. Respectfully submitted for the 'residents of Hollywood Manor by William J. Schnute, 2103 Bancroft Dr. • FETITIOv 'We, the undersigned, petition the City,Council, the City Manager, and ` the planning and Zoning Commission of Iowa City, Iowa, to amend the Sub- division Code, Chapter 9.50.5, of the City -Code -of Iowa City to include a provision for open space for use as a neighborhood park in all new residential subdivisions hereafter considered.
