My name is - Richard W. Burger - President of the Iowa City Chamber of

010 Capital Corporation Dian for the renewal of the downtown of Iowa City.
About a year ago, the lowa City City Council sought to have a local
group of people submit a plan for the re -development of downtown Iowa City.',
All information on this bid package was offered to all concerned, whether
local or not. However; the only bid package submitted was that of the Old'
Capital Development Group. There is a', lot of time, effort and money invested
in this bid package, and a group of around 90 local people are involved. I'
do believe that the Old Capital Group has fulfilled their commitment, but II
do not feel that the Iowa City City Council has fulfilled theirs by the lack,
to date, of a positive intent. All we ask is 'a general approval - or die -
approval - cin this proposal - and we ask for that answer here today!

3'L To the members of the CitY
Council Of Iowa City • /J
I wish to present an objection frau the Executive Council of Neighborhoods
United to the passage at this time of a resolution or of other action indicating
acceptance of the Urban Renewal proposal from the Old Capitol Development Com-
pany. The Neighborhoods United zxecutive Council believes an action to accept
the proposal from Old Capitol at this time is ill advised for the following
eight reasons:
contract which Drill cost the City of `Iowa
1) The proposal is a business
City millions and will provide a'substantial profit to the investors
of old Capitol,'
2) The returns to the City of Iowa City from this contract in the form of
Ttt
an
greater shopping co enienee as well as more
a better quality of life
buciness for a group of businessmen must be evaluated against the cost
to the City of the contract,
3) The City Council of. Iowa City is the soleSrotector o: the fundamental in-
terests of the City and its citizens in these contract negotiations and
must act ht every step of the negotiations to preserve and icsu those
interests,
4) The City Staff as the agents of the City Council did not provide at the
expected early datead..quate review of even the most conspicuous part of
i the propuaal, cne underground parking `acility: when the e-::luation
was presented Chia Lwneh, Ila Council 're'jected this parkjnr feature of
tj,,a original proposalat its Dec. 7 meeting,
tion of the underground parking ramp, the
5) As a result of the rejec
original proposal is no longer before the council. Therefore, serious
consideration can be given to desired alternative, to other features
of the original proposal; such consideration both by the council and
the public requires time. A resolution or letter of intent to
accept the proposal now would remove from the city much of its power
to achieve such further modifications.
6) while the underground parking ramp has been the : only serious weakness
in the old Capitol proposal noted by the City staff, concerned
citizens of Iowa City have noted many other questionable features.
A failure to integrate closely the shopping facilities and the
City and University bus systems is one weakness:. A!failure to deal
withjthe transportation problem so as to preserve the neighborhoods
and to reduce the dependence on the automobile is another. An
indication now by the Council of acceptance even in principle of
theOld Capitol proposal could force upon the City 'features wanted
:
i :.bnl*y by the businesscz of Io-aa City.
7) in the negotiation of a contract with Old Cr-pit ! ol or any other contrdetor,
11 1 t citizens from
s United further suggests the City safeguard its Neighborhood r g e
possible failure of the contractor by arranging for an incremental transfer
of property conditional at each step upon specified prior accomplishments
by the contractor, and
8) Thzxe should be a public discussion of the comparative strengths and
weaknesses of the Old capitol proposal; to date we have had only a a ! up-
portive presentation I of this proposal largely by layor Brandt and by
members of the City Staff. A public discussion would consider alternatives
of the type rejected as inappropriate at the public presentations. Such
.st. Neighborhoods United suggests that a comparison Of
alternatives aci
such alternatives with the old capitol proposal is necessary to properly
evaluaLu —at proponal. in this process the motto of Neighborhoods
United canlp- a useful guide: Think small; Better, not bigger; Quality,
not quant"S!'--Y-

The Honorable Mayor and

Iowa City, IA 52240
Dear Mayor and Council Members:
t
leter setting forth the University
Oil November 21, 1973, sent 't10 you a 4
D -po3al submitted by the Old1 Pro
reactions to the Urban Renewal evelopmen I
Capitol Business Center Company as they affect the University.
You are now in the process of considering modifications to that proposal
and I believe it appropriate that I again comment on the plan because of the
changes you are considering which affect the University. my comments are
limited to impressions received from a copy of the staff -prepared document
"Review of Offer to Purchase and Redevelop Land" and the most recent public
discussions by the Council of this document.
Our impression is that the general.theme of chaiiges proposed for the Old
Capitol Business Center proposal have to do with parking. Specifically,
they, are directed at providing approximately 500 parking spaces that cannot
ended in the developers' proposal. The
be provided in structures recommended to be to place that parking
staff's proposed solution to this dilemma appears
on the streets of downtown Iowa City. This position, if adopted, will have
ntinually
a severe negative impact on the University as it affects our co
stated objective of a'pedestrian-oriented campus.
As a specific result of this proposed sol ution, the City Staff has questioned
whether Madison Street -between Iowa Avenue and Burlington Street can be
closed. On page 38 of the Staff review it is stated:
As a result of the proposal : for on -street parking, it is desir-
able to keep Madison Street open to general traffic between Burlington
and Market. it would be desirable to consider the construction of
pedestrian overpasses across Madison at the University Library as well
as the Memorial Union if Madison Is left open to traffic.
The Honorable Mayor and
City Council Members
December 18, 1973
Page 2
This statement is diametrically opposed to the repeated requests of the
Universityregarding Madison Street, and would constitute the desecration
of the Pentacrest,' long a'cplace of great public beauty and one of the unique
features of this community. I have made these points about Madison and the
neod for a pedestrian campus at virtually every City-University meeting,)
have attended during my tenure as president.
Other portions of the review, point up the need to keep downtown streets', open
to two-way traffic with curb parking. A statement on page 16, point 4,
questions whether the plan for closing the intersection of Dubuque and Col-
lege Streets for the purpose of constructing 'a mall can be carried out.
If the latter-O scussed changes are carried out; it is difficult to follow
Under the developers'
the reasoning which prompts the comment on Madison:Street.
pi)posal, which contemplated the closure to private vehicles of Madison
Street, Dubuque Street and Capitol Street were also to have been closed and
Clinton Street was to be reduced in functional capacity. With the'modifi-
cations proposedby the Staff, it would seem that the necessity for Madison
Street is lessened rather ,than increased, when compared with the developers'
proposals.
Other aspects of the response on perking would seem to force continued use
of South Capitol, College between Capitol and Madison and Washington between
Clinton and Madison for both traffic and parking.
We cannot overemphasize our position that we find these proposals to be
imate interests of the University,' and we
completely at odds with the legit
cannot concur in these changes.' Their net effect is to "solve" a central
business district problem at the expense of the University.
At this point it may be appropriate for me.to call to the attention of the
Council three statements from the list of objectives that have been adopted
as a part oC the Urban Renewal Program. They are shown in Appendix l of
-the review document. They are:
g. To provide a safe, efficient and attractive circulation system which
miniinizes conflicts between different forms of traffic such as
pedestrians, automobiles, transit and service vehicles.
I. To provide for off-street parking facilities;in locations easily
accessible from major thoroughfares and central area destinations
alike, including long-term parking facilities, on the periphery of
the central area.
k. To aid the University of Iowa to expand in an orderly way, so the
University ana the Business District can each: perform its own
function with minimum' conflict and mutual benefit.
The Honorable May and
City Council Members
December 18, 1973

Vhilr. the Staff has recognized the apparent need to reconsider objective
i, -the other two objectives have been lost in the efforts to accommodate
the developers' proposal and requirements as we'understand them.
I would be remiss in my responsibility *not to suggest other alternatives
to the apparent direction of the Council, policy on the parking matter., One
obvious possibility, which seems not ;to have been addressed publicly,is to
cut back the parking to be provided to the point where on -street parking is
not a continuednecessity. -Would the 500'spaces make that much difference?
Could they not be provided later in structures if the need really develops?
Has the developer been approached with this alternative? This suggestion
seems appropriate, particularly in light of the energy crisis.
The Council stands today on the brink of,a momentous decision ,that will,
for good o'r bad, affect the future of the Community and inescapably the
University for many years to come., I urge you, in the strongest teimseparable
sible, not to sacrifice the interests o the University,
ich from the interests of the Community„ as you reach this decision.

Thank you for bringing your views to the attention of
the City C6uncil.
Very truly yours,
Ray S. 1ie11:
To: Members of the Iowa City Council I
I am very disturbed to see that the City Council is reacting so
hastily and, I believe, so unwisely to the virtual ultimatum given by the
Old Capitol Business Center Co. I attended on the the Council -sponsored
neighborhood meetings in which the proponents of this Old Capitol plan,
attempted to convince the public of the merits of the plan.Neither at
this meeting, nor at other meetings from which -I receive reports from
friends who had attended; was there manifested any uncritical and enthusi-
astic support for this plan. One of the most frequent criticisms was,
that it is a plan suitable for the past, not the future. It is a, plan,.
presupposing unlimited automobile traffic and unlimited energy resources.
Automobile traffic is actually' encouraged to the downtown area from
greater Iowa City, Coralville, and more distant areas, by the widening of
roads, the presence of a conference center, and the greatly expanded park-
ing facilities:
Surely it must be obvious to the Council that, in a decades time
(the period over which' this development will be built), this country will
no longer be able to maintain the life style which is so wasteful of energy
resources. Nowhere in the list of conditions for acceptance, did I read of:
building requirements designed so that energy resources
would not be wasted;
integration, of an expanded mass transit system and
= limitation on the cost borne by the city, and thus
the taxpayers, for the support of private investors.
I believe that the City Council, in its haste to appease business
interests, is about to buy a "pig in a poke". This is a heavy future burden
to place on the backs of the taxpayers of this city, I support downtown
redevelopment, but the City Council must seriouslv consider its responsibilities

and east of CRI & P RR, all of the areabeing east of Riverside
Drive. Date filed: 11/14/73, 45 -day limitation: 12/29/73.
Mr. Robert Downer, attorney, representing Mr. Streb, explained
that Mr. Streb presently has a purchase agreement outstanding
on the 'above mentioned' property which is owned' by National By -
Products. He pointed out that the land is presently zoned RIA by
virtue of its annexation to the City some years ago.
Mr. Downer stated that the IP zoning classification, as,suggested
in the City's Staff Report dated December 13,'1973, would not seem
appropriate under the circumstances' because it would ber.too'
restrictive for the type of use that might logically be made
of the property.He indicated ,that Mr. Streb and National,By
Products would be willing to comply with, any screening requirements
that 'might be imposed and would also cooperate with recommendations
theiRiverfront Commission might have.
Chairman Madsen indicated that there was.some feeling on the part
of the Commission that the matter should be referred to the
Riverfront Commission for their review and comments.' He asked
Mr. Downer if his clients would be willing to waive the 45 -day
limitation. Mr. Downer agreed to submit a letter waiving the 45 -
day limitation.
A motion to defer item Z-7316, Streb-National By -Products' request
for rezoning '(RIA to Ml) the 'triangular tract 'of land, west 'of the
Iowa River and south and east of the CRI & P RR,'all of the 'area'
being east of Riverside Drive, was made by Mrs. Cain and seconded

by Mrs. Cain that themajor changes to the Pla-med Area Development,
Macbride Addition, Part I, to include the:proposed relocation of
Macbride Road as illustrated on 'the Preliminary,Plat'of Macbride
Addition, Part II and the changes in land use, specifically the
conversion of Lots 33 and 34 of Macbride Addition, Part I, to
public open space and the establishment of:two residential lots
on a'.parcel of land,located west of Macbride Road identified.as
existing public open space, be approved only, if thetransfer, of
ownerships,to.the parcels mentioned is:secured. The motion
carried unanimously.
It was moved by Dr.'Ogesen and seconded by Mrs Cain that the
remaining lowerpoition of Macbride Road in'Macbride Addition,
Part I, be vacated. The motion carried unanimously.
Z 7315. Southgate Development Co. Request for rezoning of tract
of land (R3B to.C2)::located,on southeast corner of Hollywood
Boulevard and'Broadway,Street. Date filed: :11/7/73'. 45-day
limitation: 12/22/73.Denied by P & Z: 11/29/73. To be recon-
sidered.
Chairman Madsen explained that the Planning and Zoning commission
had previously made a recommendation on the proposed request,
however, because the'petitioner had not been notified of the
November 29,:!1973 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, he,
asked that the matter be reconsidered.
A motion to reconsider item Z-7315, Southgate Development C ompany,
was made by Mr. Horner and,seconded by Mrs. Cain. The motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Alan R. Leff, attorney representing Thorp Credit, Inc.,
explained that when Thorp Credit, Inc. was negotiating a lease
for the:above mentioned property, they had understood that the
�property was located in a C2 zone. on that basis, he said, they
entered into'a ten-year. lease. It was only when Thorp Credit, Inc.
!applied for a sign'permit that they learned the property was
located in an R3B zone. >A change in zoning to either C2, CH or
Cl zoning, Mr. Leff said, would seem compatible with the surrounding
area and would be a logical extension of the C2 area.
• Stating that changing a zoning classification on the basis of
signage would seta dangerous precedent, Mrs. Cain moved to,deny
item Z-7315, Southgate Development Company's request for rezoning
of tract of land (R3B to C2) located on southeast corner of Hollywood
Boulevard and Broadway Street. The motion, seconded by Dr. Ogesen,
carried unanimously.

-Mr. George Bonnett, City Engineer and Acting Director of the
Public Works Department, showed slides of the'Amhurst Street -
Rochester Avenue area and explained the rationale the Engineering
Division used in the design of the RochesterAvenue-Lower West
'Branch intersection.
Mr. James Hess, attorney representing,Mr. John 0. Smith who
owns property near the subject area, reiterated reasons why, the
Proposed vacation Should not, be approved. •If vacated, harm done
to Mr. Smith and other property owners 'near the area would far
outweigh any benefits the City would derive, he said'. It is
time for the, City to"stop using its police power, helsaid, and
take into consideration the benefits of the people. :Mr. Hess
stated that it seems as though the City is trying to make, the
defacto_vacation lawful.

Chairman Madsen pointed out that issues concerning construction,
i.e. paving, 'should be taken to the City Council and not to the
Planning and Zoning Commission.
Mr. Richard Wollmershauser, the City's Senior Planner', pointed out
that there could be three access points, two of which would be
provided through the Oakwoods Additions.
Mr. John Hughes of the Hills Bank and Trust Company, representing
the estate property to the south of Lower West Branch Road, also
expressed opposition to the proposed vacation.'
Dr. Ogesen stated that while he agreed that the Rochester Avenue -
Lower West Branch,Road intersection had a high danger potential,
he could not see vacating the entire stretch of Lower West, Branch
Road because:
1) a suggested development plan for the area (which was
included in the December 13, 1973 Staff Report) does
not show a good, efficient' traffic movement pattern
and does not provide direct, access to Rochester Avenue,
2) vacation of the entire stretch of Lower West Branch
Road would make it difficult for the owners of the
triangular piece of°land north of Lower West Branch
Road to develop their area. If vacated, he said, this
would seem to'be',seizure of 'land or a "steam roller
concept" being applied.
It was moved by Dr. Ogesen and seconded by Mrs. Cain to recommend
to the City Council vacation of Lower WestBranch ',Road from the
Point of intersection with Rochester Avenue east to the line
extending due north from the northwestern corner of Lot 324
(Oakwoods, Part 6).

1hc. Iowa'CitY

on Sunday, December 2, 1973'at',7:00 p.m.'at Trinity Episcopal Church.
The topic of the forum was affirmative action for women.

MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL PRESENT: Czarnecki

STAFF PRESENT: Maune
Smeed
The following are some of'the'pertinent, points "which were discussed
:during the:publi-- meeting. Chairman Hoy gave a',brief introduction
by explaining that the purpose of this ;type of Public Forum was to
-reoeive input',by'the community concerning the affirmative' action and
employment, opportunities for women in Iowa City'. The commission
was desirous of such input before making any recommendations ,to the
City'Council -on this matter:: '!First to speak was Elizabeth Diecke
for the Johnson Council on the Status of Women:She indicated that
of the 52% of the City of Iowa City personnel making,$8,000 - $13,000
a year, 99% were male and less than 1% were female.' Diecke also
indicated that 77% of the females working for the City were in the
lower third of the pay bracket; and .01% of the females working for
the City ',were in the upper third of the pay, bracket, whereas 7%
of the males were, in the upper third of the pay bracket. Diecke felt
that the Human Relations Commission was in an awkward position since
in their role as educator of the community, they ;needed to have "their
own house cleaned first." ' Therefore,, the Johnson County Council on
the Status of Women was requesting - 1) that a full', time executive,
director be appointed for the Humar. Relations Commission, 2) that the
Iowa City City Council make a policy statement in the form of an
ordinance w4ich would delineate an affirmative action officer and an
affirmative action citizen's committee.'
A'representative from the University of>Iowa'Employee's Union criticized
the Affirmative Aciton report by the City for the Human'_ Relations
Commission and the EEOC. The positions which had been filled by
females in the past six months were termed mere efforts at tokenism
and not as ag ood faith effort in affirmative action.
•

Minutes of Public Forum
Human Relations Commission
December,2, 1973
The next criticism centered around the publicity for the Forum.
Questions were asked why the releases were out Wednesday and not
sooner. It was brought up that the notice was in the Press Citizen
on Saturday afternoon; and although the press release did include
the fact that copies of the Affirmative Action report.were available
at the Civic Center, tne CiviciCenter is closed Saturday. Don Hoy
indicated that the Commission was only seeking input and possible�
solutions at this point and also that the Commission had no control
over when press releases were used.
A suggestion was made that the City have a separate EEO Officer as
a distinctposition separate from the Personnel Director. The City
should set :an,example of,affirmative action for:the entire community.
It was also felt that theCity must actively seek women,for jobs
traditionally held by mal , es. Another suggestion centered around
in-service!training for all employees. It would especially be help-
ful' since the City was sending'several secretaries to the conference
presented at the University of:,Iowa entitled, "Today's Secretary,"
that they share their knowledge with those who were unable to attend.
Another suggestion was that people's attitudes were reflected by
th I air language and that a Personnel Director should.not reflect
sexist attitudes if he is to be interviewing applicants, for a
position. It was suggested that "The Language of Sexism," by
Margaret McDowell would be a profitable article to read.
Next, a member of the audience asked the Human Relations Commission
to make their assistance to the community more widely known. There 5.
seems to be a problem with teenagers who are unaware that they are
being discriminated against for part-time employment. They can file
a complaint with the Human Relations Commission. Also for high schooi
career, counseling it was felt that the',Human Relations Commission
would do well to disseminate moreinformation to the schools about
filing complaints, discrimination;in general, and sex stereotyping.
It was indicated that NEA!at their Center for Human Relations had
a program and a pamphlet entitled, "Consciousness Raisers," which
may be of benefit to both'the Human Relations Commission and the
Iowa City Community School District.
Another suggestion was that the Human Relations Commission should
compile'a list of oomplaints which are not actually filed but which
are indicated by telephone, etc. From this data it might be 'possible
to find patterns and practices which could possibly lead the Com-
mission to file a complaint against a private employer. Another
• suggestion was that the City should hire someone to go through the
City Code and all the City ordinances to find and eliminate all
sexist comments and discriminatory references.

Human Relations Commission
December 2, 1973
Another suggestion was that there was a service called Catalyst
which helps employers in affirmative action by providing training.
The cost of this service was unknown by, the person who provided the,
above information. Another suggestion was that tandem employment
be tried. In, other words, two part-time persons instead of one full
time person would be 'hired for a position. It was brought up that
part-time policies of the City were excellent in that part-time
employees received fringe benefits as well as the full time employees.
Questions were 'raised as to whetLer,or not the'.Human Relations
Commission had any jurisdiction over social organizations which -
discriminate on the ;basis of:sex in .their membership,policies. The
Commission has no control over fraternalorganizations on campus.
Also, the Commission was waiting for cases to be resolved at'the
national court level concerning the Elks', organization before
proceeding with fraternal club investigations.,
Also, Dick Braverman indicated that he was a member of the Rotary
Club and that if it was found that the organizationwould not allow'
women members he would quit.,
A suggestion was made that with the onset of program budgeting, funds
expended for social planning should be 'delineated. This would be
helpful to see how much the Human Relations Commission actually
expends along with other social planning agencies.'. Mori'Costantino
asked Councilman Czarnecki what had prompted the Council to increases
the budget for Boards :and .Commissions from ,$5,000 to $10,000.
Czarnecki answered that this money had not ,been allocated, that it r
was in the form of a'block grant, and application for funds should
be made to the:Office,of the City, Manager. Councilman' Czarnecki
indicated that, if the Human Relations Commission feels that they
really need staff separate from what they now have, they should make
a concrete proposal to the City Council on this matter. 'However,
the 'Councilman did caution the Commission and all those present
against using other cities as examples for comparison. He felt that
p y
to compare Iowa Cit and Iowa City Human Relations Commission to
other cities such 'as, ',Cedar 'Rapids and Madison which have different
forms of government and different types of Human Relations Commissions
might not profit the Human Relations Commission here.
It was suggested that a summary of the EEO -9 form be prepared by
the City; which would include a breakdown of the City organization
by salary', as well as classification and sex and minority status. It
• was requested that all reports prepared for and by the Human Relations
Commission be submitted to the Public Library as public information.

Don Hoy opened the meeting by explaining the purpose of the special
session was to discuss the question of whether or not the Human
Relations Commission should go ahead with the coming Sunday night
meeting.. The Chairman asked if another public 'forum, meeting wov,ld be
productive to the Commission. Phil Jones inquired as to the purpose
of the past Sunday evening meeting and also the object.. of the
coining Sunday evening meeting.' Don Hoy indicated that the Commission
wanted to know what:it could do to make Iowa City a,place where
- minorities would want to`come, 'work and stay:
Phil Jones indicated that he was opposed to putting the black minority,
population of Iowa City on display in a public forum, and he personally
would have a problemlasking black people to come to such a meeting.
He felt that the forum.was probably not the best way of getting the
concerns of the people to the attentionofthe Commission. Celia
Roberts indicated that she also felt the forum would do no good
because "after all you cannot legislate someone's heart," and to just
have a session wherepeoplecould come and complain does not;mean
anything. Dick Braverman indicated that he felt the majority of the
Iowa City population does not'know that there is a problem with
minorities in Iowa City. -Phil Jones again reiterated that :the black
population should not be,put on display ,to,obtain ;information or to
try to educate the public. Sally Smith indicated that possibly the
school system is where the Commission should start in sensitizing the

community to minority problems. Phil Jones indicated that the
School Board had appointed a commission on racism in schools which
had done a certain amount of preliminary research, generateddata,
had.met with the School '',Board, and the second report was out. He
felt that a lot of the black people had already been contacted in a
private manner for this 'report and'that -possibly working' through the
School District the Commission could obtain the information they
desired. Celia Robertsjindicated that a,movie being used in Cedar
Rapids entitled, "Prejudice" might be a beneficial movie for the
Human Relations Commission to review and possibly use in the community.
Phil Jones mentioned the Human Rights Committee of the Teachers'
Association. Apparently they have submitted'a report to HEW concern-
ing humanrelationsand have received, preliminary funding for train-
ins6 sessions in the school on human relations. ,This type of 'approach'
where one organizes oneis questions and ideas and then; gathers data
would 'seem >preferable 'to holding a public forum at this time. Bud
Means moved to postpone the Sunday night meeting until such a meeting
could be 'structured in a manner which would accomplish the original
objective of,the Commission. The motion was seconded,by Celia Roberts
and passed by unanimouslvote of the Commission.' Don Hoy asked the
press who were present .to relay the information to the`Community,that

Gentlemen:,
I am happy to inform you that the members of the State
Soil Conservation Committee at their regular monthly meeting
on December 6, 1973, approved the Ralston Creek Watershed
Application for Assistance in Planning and Carrying Out Works
of ,Improvement under the Watershed Protection and Flood
Prevention tion Act,Pub11c
Law 566.
The members of 'the committee were very much impressed with,
the work accomplished in the watershed as well as the cooperation
that exists between the city of 'Iowa City and the Johnson County_
Soil Conservation District. They noted with Interest that;, the
district has devoted 30 percent of its _state 'soil conservation
cost -;sharing, funds_ to the Ralston Creek Watershed area.
I am -also happy to inform you the committee took action to
request the 'Soil Conservation Service to begin planning this
watershed' immediately. In other words, a planning priority was
given to the watershed the same day it was approved. The
committee has never, taken this:kind of action on any watershed
in the state, and there have been over one hundred applications
submitted thus far: They felt, however, the urgency of this
Situation dictated that such action be taken.
We are sending a copy of the watershed application to the
Johnson County Soil Conservation District. This is the distri'ct's
_copy and has been signed,by Donald Johnson, chairman, State Soil
Conservation Committee. -If the city would like a copy for its
files, >we'would be happy to Xerox a copy and send it or, perhaps,
this 'could be done locally.

Dear Members of City Council,
I a , m writing to express my cr,ncernl about the City Council's
I
deliberations over the Old Capitol Business Centar Company's
proposed redevelopment of our downtown urban renewal area.
I was disappointed to 'Learn of the unreasonably: expensive under—
ground Dari-ing facility proposed by the Old Capitol group, but I'
am,alarmed to read of their refusal to consider, the Clinton Street
U
site as a parking area and most of all their refusal to hold open
their redevelopment proposal past Tuesday, December 18. Such
pressure is surely not in the best interests of Iowa City.
I recognize that the city Council is in a tight` situation, but I
'fee'L that',the parking facilities are too important a matter to be
rushed, especially considering current enery shortageb and their
impact on future transportation possibilities and needs.
D6spite Old Capitol's ultimatums I urge you City leaders to find
a way to put off the parking facilities decision until adequate
and thorough review of proposals and alternatives can be made.
Good luck.
Sincerely

in the community into the Urban Renewal process could be obtained. It
should also perhaps be noted that the role of ,the Project Area Committee
is somewhat different from that of the Design Review Committee in that
the Project Area Committee was specifically intended, as far as I can
determine, to serve as a mechanism by which persons directly affected by
urban Renewal could have an influence on the planning and execution of the
project. The Design Review Committee was intended in a more advisory
capacity to review redevelopment proposals and make recommendations
to the ',Council from a design, planning, and aesthetic point of view.
Chapter 403 of the 1973 Code of Iowa is the provision of the Iowa
Code dealing with Urban Renewal. Section 403.16 of the Code of Iowa is
the statute which deals specifically with the questions of conflict of
interest by public officials in connection with the execution of Urban
Renewal projects. Under that section no official of: thty oincluded Cito
who owns an interest as defined in the statute in any property.
to be included in the project shall participate in "any action" by the muni-
cipality, or board or commission thereof, affecting such property.;. Sub
tes that ownership of less than 5% of the
section 5 of that section indica

propel;ty shall not be deemed to constitute an ownership interest under

this statute. Subsection 6 provides as follows, '
not be deemed to include resolutions advisory to the local governing
body or, agency by any citizens' group, board, body, or commission
designated to serve a purely advisory approving or recommending function
mxlc, this chapter."
In my opinion both the Design Review Committee and the Project
Area Committee serve a purely advisory or recommending function and
tees is excl:aded by the provision of Sub -
membership in those commitsection 6 of Section 403. 16 quoted above and hence doe not constitute a
conflict of interest. Thereforei I do ..ot ')elieve that the fact that Mr.
4Vegman and A4r. Nusser own small interests in the redeveloper, in both
cases substantially less than a 516 interest, would serve to disqualify them
from membership on these two committees.
It is, however, true that Section 403. 16 of the Code of Iowa does

December 18, 1973
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE IOWA CITY COUNCIL:
Through forward-looking legislation in recent years, the Iowa
City Council has adapted:to many new community needs and realities
of the times. The Council has been far more responsive to citizen
.interests than some of its critics would have people believe, and
I think a comparison of the composite records of all the city, councils
in Iowa would prove it.
As one citizen, I urge the Council not to over -react to the or-
ganized pressures you willi continue to beer.
In a democratic community, it is inevitable that a very small
percentage of the Populace will wield the greatest influence over
the city council. Those citizens not only care about the policies
they favor, but they make policy -change their extra -curricular busi-
ness. Further, they understand practical Politics. They know how
to make s.wheel scueek
in order that the Council is persuaded to
apply grease. Along with',so many other endowments, Iowa City is rich
in its increment of wheel-'squeekers;and they,8re getting better or-
ganiz6d all the time. Now"adays,they are joining forces in pursuit
of their various community interests. They have come to represent a
solid core of continuing criticism of the Iowa City Council and the
city staff.
I'm convinced that alicity council cannot satisfy its critics.
At best, it can only exchange one brand Of criticism for another.
The Council can set its formal meeting times at any hour of the day
or night and I'm quite sure that critics will find it possible'to
attend. I doubt, that, many others will be in attendance, other than
�the petitioners of, the - moment.,
But the Council represents al those other people, too -_ those
thousands upon thousands Of Iowa Citians who heven't,been criticizing
the City Council. They represent the overwhelminp, majority,of,the
citizens of Iowa City. They pay the overwhelming share of the, local
taxes we've been budgeting and spending. They elect councilmen to
represent their citizen interests, and 3 don't think they went to feel
that they have to get down to City Hall on a weekly basis, to keep the
I I
Council aware of its obligations to them. To a considerable degree!
they are apathetic about Iowa City government and about the Council's
problems, and that is unfortunate. but somehow, they also retain a!
great measure of faith in a system in which th- policy-mnkers are named
in free elections, to legislate for the whole community. I think the
classic obligation of any city council is not to undermine the faith
in local government which still is displayed by the creat body of our
citizens.
The next Council will reflect some new thrusts and some stronger
emphases in city Policy-making. I do not resist that reality in the
slightest. It is as it should be. The transition in Council philosophy
.y) ji :: ✓ l r iIC" tt 1.�r7l,

has occurred grauuslly, over three city elections. The trend has been
consistent and unmistakable. The new Council consensus can be ,very
good for Iowa City, so lonq�_as no counci

inference that he or she was named personally to deed the people of
'
New directions for a complex community have to evolve. They cannot
be instituted in a single day, or year. In the light of which a council
has to have'a great deal more patience than its constituents are apt to
have about new priorities and broadened programs.
to reflect that patience. I urge the Council
YOU face. It will be the most difficult continuing task
There is an exhileration __ I have experienced it __ in savoring the
fact that 3,600, or 4,200, or 4,500 voters pulled the lever over your
tionaln the lest election. But there's a sobering influence in _the add'
tional fact that only 25% of the city's registered voters went to the
polls in that election, and the total voterscwho cast ballots represen
ted only 159 of the city's population. Who represents the other 8595 in
government et the local level, if every member of the council does,not
do so?
As you face a new year end a new appr
take the long view -- of yourselvesoach, I urge the Council to
, and of this city.
Times do indeed change - I can tell You how quickly. y
my earll
years on the Council, some very vocal critics castigated me In In a wild-
eyed liberal, bent on abandoning some of the most sacred,precepts of
Americanism, even to the Point of condemning one man's property for the
Ultimate use and benefit, of another. In'these later years, I've been
Pigeon -holed among the most moss -backed of conservatives, intent on pre-
serving social anachronisms at any cost„ even to the point of assuming
that some manner of four -wheeled vehicle which travels about on streets
and roadways will survive the fossil -fuels crisis.
If you serve on the Council long enough, the same kind of thing can
happen to you. Which suggests that any city council ought to be wary of
those who cite immediate and contemporary conditions as justification for
the actions they urge you to take. Their honesty is not in question: But
they may be extremely narrow in their perspective of this cgs, and of this
city.
Many of the same people who urge you to act only in the light of,a
long-range plan will be among those who will urge you to abandon this or
that element of the same plan,'once it is before you. (I think this will
be especially true of that celebrated area_ transportation study, if indeed
it ever reaches you at all; and I can only hope that it will'not even men -
term the term "arterial street," for the sake of the Council's collective
sanity.)
A long -ranee plan is useless 'unless its central goals are achieved
in a timely way, whatever modifications may have to be made along the way.
During the past twenty years, the student body of the University has grown
from 7,000 to, 20,000, with corresponding growth in the faculty and staff.
In that time span, more than $120 million in University capital Construc-
tion has accommodated the growing programs and chanced the face of the
41 r"I", .....

campus. Has that overall dcvc.1cp.-..cnt bean good for Iowa City? I think
so.r Admittedly, if the growth had been stymied by effective opposi-
tion, many of the Council's present critics probably would not now be
living in this community. But in the broader view, without the Uni-
versity's recent growth, there would be no lows Center for the Arts
in Iowa City, nor would the current prospect exist for the stature:
of the University's west campus as a major regional medical and
health services center.
The point is that a cood many long-range plans have been carried
out on the campus, over many years and by succeeding administrations,
despite the obstacles of opposition. I suggest.the City Council take'
a leaf from the University's book in the area of long-range pl,
them anning.I
of preserving the central goals of plans, and of seeing through � 1
with solid and continuing support at the top level. Only in that way,
I think, Asn the Council justify this city's faith in its own future.
It is the City Council which must be the firatt reflection of the city's
faith.
Of other pieces of gratuitous advice I might offer you, I give you
only one more: get out and stay out of the business of administering
various city programs, no matter how bard some citizens may try to push
you into administration. Make whatever policies a consensus of the
Council will support, but leave their implementation -- without inter-
minable second-guessing -- to the manager end the most competent staff
of city department heads and employees I think this city ever has had'!
You will have a gres't'deal more time for your own important work by`I
confining your labors,to policy-making. if the Council's policies are
sound, and if you authorize the indispensible administrative budget
support, the manager and staff will make the Council look,good. In,
the last analysis, in the present and in the forthcoming new charter
form of government, it takes an able and dedicated:staff'to make a
council look good. The Iowa City manager and staff deserve far more
credit, far more defense, and far more support from the City Council
then they've received in recent years.
Yours sincere y,

apply grease. Along with so many other endowments, Iowa City is rich
in its increment of wheel-sque'ekers;and`they are getting better or-
ganized all the,time. °Nowadays .they, ,are joining forces in pursuit
of their various community interests., They have come to represent a
solid core of continuing criticism of the Iowa City Council and the
city staff.
I'm convinced that a city 'council cannot satisfy its critics.
At best„ it can only exchance one brand of criticism for another.
The 'Council can set its formal meeting times at any hour of the day'
or night and I'm quite sure that critics will find it 'possible to
attend. I doubt that many others will be in attendance, other than
the petitioners of the moment.
But the Council represents.allthose other people, too -- those
thousands anon thousands of Icwe'C ltier.s who haven't been criticizing
the City Council'. They represent the overwhelming majority of the
citizens of'lows',City. They p3y,the overwhelming share of the local',
taxes we've been,budceting and spending. They elect'councilmen to
reoresent their citizen interests, and I don't think they ,want to feel
that they havetoget down to City Hall on a weekly, basis,to keep the
Council aware of its obligations to them. To a considerable degree
they are apathetic about lIowa 'City government and about the Council's
problems, and that is unfortunate, but somehow, they also retain o
"great measure of faith in a system in which the policy -makers are named
in free elections, to legislateforthe whole community. 1 think the
classic obligation of any city council is not to undermine the faith'
in local government which still is displayed by the great body of our
citizens.
The next Council will reflect some new thrusts and some stronger
emphases in city policy-making. I do not resist that reality in the
slightest. It is as it should be. The transition in Council philosophy
has occurred gradually, over three city elections The trend hes been
consistent and unmistakable. Tho new Council consensus can be very
good for Ionia City, so long as no council member is bemused by the
amed personally to load the people of
inference that he or she was n
this city out of darkness.
Net: directions for a complex'eommunity have to evolve. They cannot
be instituted in a single day, or year. In the light of ,which e council
has to hove c greet deal more patiencethen its constituents arc apt to
have about now priorities and broadened programs. 111rce the Council
to reflect that patience. It will be the most difficult continuing task
you f ace .
There is an exhileration -- I have experienced it -- in savoring the
fact that 3,600, or 4,2.00, or 4,500 voters pulled the lever over your
name in the last election.- But there's a sob._ring',influcace,in the addi-
tional fact that only 25% of the city's registe edvoters went to the
polls in that ',election, and the total voters who cost ballots represen-
tcd only 15y of the city's population.' Who represents the other 85;x, in
government et'the local level, if; every 'member of the council does not
do so?
As you face a new year and anew approach, I urge the Council to
take the long view -- of yourselves, end of this, city.
Times do indeed change -- Lean tell you how quickly. In my early
tics castigated me
years on the Council, some very,'property
f
vocal Cr'crice a wild-
eyed liberal; bent on abandoning some of the most sacreforthe
Americanism, even to the, point of condemning one man's p p y
ultimate use and benefit of another. In these later years,,Iive been
pigeon.-holed among the most moss-backed of conservatives, intent on pre-
serving social ,anachronisms ;at any COS-,, even to the point of assuming
.four-wheeled vehicle which travels about on streets
that some manner of
and roadways .will survive the fossil-fuels crisis.
If you serve on the Council long enough, the ame kind of thing can
happen to you. Which suggests that any cit. council ought to be wary of
those who cite immediate and contemporary conditions as justification question. for
the 'actions they urge you to take. Their honesty is not in question. But
they may be-extremely narrow in their perspective of this age, and of this
city.
Many of the same jeople who urge you to act only in the ;light of a
long-range plan will be among those who will urge you to abandon this
that element of the same plan, once it is before you. (I chink this will
be especially true of that celebrated area-transportation study, if indeed
it ever reaches you at all; and !,con only hope that it will not even men-
tion the term "arterial street," for the sake of the Council's collective
sanity.)
- A lone,-range elan is useless unless its central gook arc achieved
along the way.
in e(timely way, whatever modifications may have to be mode
Dux^_ag the past twenty years, the student body of the University has grown
from;7,000 to 20,000, with corresponding growth in the faculty and staff.
In that time span, more than $120 million in University capital construe-
tion has accommodated the growing programs and changed the, face of the
us.
coml-jHas that overall: development been, good for lowo City? I think
SO. Admittedly, if the growth had been stymied by effective,opposi-
tion, many of the Council's present critics probably would not now be
living in this community.: But in the broader view, without the Uni-
versity's recent growth, there would be,'no Iowa Center for the Arts
in Iowa City, nor would the current! prospect exist for the stature
of the University's west cam pus as I a major Jor regional medical and
health services center.
The point is that a cood many long-range plans have been carried
out on the campus, over mciny years and by succeeding administrations,
despite tho obstacles of opposition. I suggest the City Council take
a leaf from the University's book in the area of long-range planning,
of preserving the central goals of plans, and of seeing them through
with solid and continuing support at the top level. only in that way,
I think, can the Council justify this city's faith in its own future.
It is the City Council which must be the first reflection of1the city's
faith.
Of other pieces of gratuitous�odvice I might offer you, 1 give you
only one more; . get out and stay out of the business: of e6iinistaring
various city programs, no matter how herd some citizens may try to push
you into ndministration. ?4ske whatever policies a consensus of the
Council will support, but.leave their implementation -- without inter-
minable second -guessing: --'to the monager and the:most'compotent staff
of city department heads and employees :I think this city ever has had.
You will have a great deal more time for y0 ur own important work by
:
confining your labors to policy -making.. -If
the Council's policies are
sound, and if you authorize the indispensible administrative budget
support, the manager and staff willmvkc the Council I..)ok good. In
the last analysis, in the present and in the forthcoming new charter
forn',of governmenti it takes an able and dedicated staff to make a.
council look good. The Iowa City manager and staff deserve for more
credit, for more defense, and far more support from the City Council
than they've received in recent years.
Yours sincerely,
Loren Hickerson

• The only available means of insuring that the'property would
be used ,for only industry and including warehouses is by one
of two methods:
1. Revising the Zoning Ordinance to permit warehouses as a
_ separate use in the IP zone or
2. Requesting that the applicant submit a restrictive covenant,
usually in favor of adjoining property owners, restricting
himself to the development.of only industrial and warehousing
establishments in the M1 zone. The first method is a more
practical solution but also more time consuming. The second
method can be less time consuming, but unless they are made
aware to the building officials at the time building permits
are issued, the'covenant may be unenforced.
Finally, since the, purpose of zoning is for the stabilization
and preservation of property values, consideration"should'be
given to the protection of"the,mobile home park directly to the
south from the. detrimental,effects of industrial activity'. For
this reason and because no side or rear yards are required in
the MI or IP zone, except where adjacent to,a residential -
zone,`a buffer strip, free of structures, storage or parking
should be provided'' along the mobile home court.
STAFF It is the Staff's recommen-
RECOMMENDATION: dation that the petition

zone or if it is the applicants strong intent to establish
warehouses as a separate use, the, application be deferred until
the IP zone is amended to include warehouses or until restrictive
covenants on the subject property have been initiated by the
applicant to permit only industrial uses and warehouses in the
M1 'zone,
COMMENTS: As is apparent in this case,',
there needs to be some
consideration' given to either
creating a separate district'
for mobile home parks or establishing mobile home parks as a
special use lin'a residential zone -- mobile homes are residential
uses and should not be catagorized as commercial uses permitted.
in only a C zone with commercial uses, since the two can be
highly incompatible.

STAFF REPORT (PART TWO)
• .1 Planning & Zoning Commission
December 13, 1.973
SUBJECT: V-7309. Vacation of Lower
West',Branch Road between,
Rochester Avenue and Amhurst
Street. Date filed: October
30,:1973.
STAFF An analysis was previously
ANALYSIS: made on the vacation of Lower
WestBranch Road in 'a' Staff'
Report dated November 29
1973 to ;,the Commission.' In.said report, it was the Staff's
recommendation that the street be vacated to discourage through
traffic from using it as an arterial street' function and',because
of its extremely dangerous intersection with Rochester Avenue.
It 'was also mentioned that the _vacation would, permit a more suitable
development of the undeveloped quadrant at the ,southwest ;corner
'
of the intersection' of Rochester Avenue and Amhurst Street. It'
should be recognized thatthere are at least, three tracts ',of'land
in separate ownership (see` property lines indicated on the
suggested development plan) south and west of Rochester Avenue
and Amhurst Street' respectively; which can present a problem
in designing a unified residential development of said quadrant.)
This report will attempt to analyze; this problem and determine
whether there are suitable alternatives for access to each
particular parcel of land,as well as a logical development of
the area before confirming the previous recommendation to vacate
Lower. West Branch: Road.
The first parcel of land in separate ownership will be identified
as that property ,lying ;south of Rochester Avenue, west of the
extension northerly of Amhurst Street and north of Lower West
Branch Road. Access to this parcel is 'immediately available
from Amhurst Street extended;northerly,',and the parcel can be
merely subdivided into three or more lots as indicated on the
suggested development plan. 'If Lower West Branch Road is
vacated,,the '66 foot right-of-way would provide an additional
lot.
The second parcel of land ,in;separate ownership will be identi-,
fied as that propertylying west of the first parcel, south-
easterly of Rochester Avenue, and north of Lower West Branch
Road
Should the property owner wish to subdivide his land into
residential lots, it is suggested that the property be integrated
with the property to the south as could be accomplished according
to the suggested development plan. As the plan illustrates,,
the property could be developed with a turn -a -round which would
,,
-2 -
serve
2serve four lots and a "flag lot", a lot having reduced frontage
wide enough for a Private driveway. The subdivider of the
property torthe south would then be required tolconnect 'to
the turn=a-round.
Access to this property is presently available from Rochester
Avenue. When the tract is subdivided, it is recommended that
access to Rochester Avenue eventuallybe terminated. A'
temporary access easement as shown in the ,suggested develop-
ment plan would suffice as a'means of access until: the
property to the south is developed.
As another alternative, right-of-way for a street to connect
with the turn -a -round from Amhurst Street could be reserved
in the first parcel, however, at the loss of one lot in the
first parcel and one lot in the second parcel..
Access from Amhurst Street along Lower West Branch 'Road should
be discouraged. Four -legged intersections particularly with
collector -and major arterial streetshasa high accident'
potential. ,In a reportipublished by the Bureau of: Govern-
mental Research andServicesof the University of Washington
entitled Design -of Subdivisions, it was found that :the ratio,
OJ- four -legged intersection;accidents'to T -intersection
accidents was 14 to 1 in limited access subdivisions and 31
to 1 in grid pattern subdivisions.
The third parcel of.land,in separate ownership will be identi-
fied as that 'property lying south of Lower West Branch Road
and west of the subdivided lots along Amhurst Street. This
parcel is the largest of the three and -.can 'be developed with
accesslfrom three different points:_ Rochester Avenue, Lake
Forest ,Avenue, and Westminster Street in 0akwoods - Part 7 a
is illustrated in the suggested development' plan.
While it is recognized that the vacation of Lower West Branch
Road would create some inconvenience to property owners
accustomed to using the street, access would not be denied,
and there are suitable alternatives for the development of
the three tracts in'separate ownership ,as'mentioned above.
The Staff, therefore, upholds the original recommendation to
vacate Lower West Branch Road between Rochester Avenue and
Amhurst Street:

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEDESTRIAN PASSAGEWAY
SYSTEM IN DOFINTO(JN SIOUX CITY, IOWA
DIVISION -I
DEFINITIONS
As used herein the term "pedestrian passageway" is inclusive and in-
cludes: (1) "public concourse corridors" which are pedestrian passageways
open and available to the public but located wholly within privately developed
structures; (2) "private concourse corridors" are pedestrian passageways
constructed without Agency participation by a Redeveloper within his structure
and which are not an essential link of the public passageway system, access
to which is controlled by the Redeveloper; (3) "skyways" which are
enclosed environmentally controlled bridges open and available to the
public spanning private and/or I public property linking one building structure
with another; (4) "pedestrian vertical access facilities" which are
facilities -connecting pedestrian passageways with the public streets or
other public property; (5) "nodes" which are enlarged portions of pedestrian—
passageways where-either-concourse
edestrianpassagewayswhere-either-concourse corridors sky and/or vertical access
facilities intersect; (6) "concourse lobbies" which are enlarged areas within,
the pedestrian passageway system built by the Redeveloper without Agency`
participation to serve a particularpurpose' unique to the; Redeveloper.
As used herein, "Agency" means the City of Sioux City, -'Iowa, acting as
the Local Public Agency itself .Lnd exercising all of the rights, powers,
and privileges granted by Chapter -403 of the 1973 Code 6f -Iowa. The term

development of a pedestrian passageway system within the _downtown area.
DIVISION II
STATEMENT OF INTERPRETATION AND OBJECTIVES
A. Interpretation.
The parties hereto agree that this document shall be interpreted
broadly_, to effegtuate_the objectives set forth below. By so doing, it is the
i
intention of the parties that this Agreement may be modified from time to
time by mutual consent, which cannot be withheld unreasonably, to accommodate -
either the Redeveloper and his construction or the Agency and its construction -
and also to overcome any unique or unforeseen circumstance that may arise
in the construction, operation or maintenance of the pedestrian passageway
system.
B. " Objectives.
The primary purpose of.the_pedestrian passageway system is to
accommodate pedestrians away from the ground level sidewalks and the elements,
enabling pedestrian traffic to move within an environmentally controlled.
pedestrian passageway developed aboveground level so pedestrians are
protected from adverse weather and from vehicles. The pedestrian passageway
system is expected to significantly_ reduce_ pedestrian -vehicle conflicts at
- street level, particularly during periods of peak traffic, thereby permitting
a smoother flow of vehicular traffic and greater safety for the pedestrian. -
This separation of pedestrian and vehicles has permitted the City to reduce
- --- -roadway widths to a minimum, thereby leaving a maximum amount -of -land avail-
able for redevelopment.
Another important benefit of the pedestrian passageway system is the
opportunity affordedredevelopersto provide shop and office space abutting
the concourse corridors. In the use of such shop space, the public will.
be unhindered by adverse weather conditions and traffic, thereby promoting
-the desirability of shopping and doing business in the buildings connected by
skyways and enhancing the economic strength of downtown Sioux City. The
pedestrian passageway system, at the expense of the Redeveloper, subject`
to the consent of Agency,, also may contain sculpture, water displays, -art-
work, and other elements contributing to the esthetic and cultural enrichment
of the citizens of the City, thereby becoming the focus of activity in the
downtown area.
The pedestrian passageway system will be developed at Agency's expense
provided they are built on public property or contained within public
easementsgranted-by_the-Redeveloper and the redevelopment planshaving -been ---'
reviewed by the Agency in accordance with the terms of Division VIII of this
Contract. The Redeveloper will be responsible for the construction of the
Public concourse corridor, within his structure, ,and with the approval of the
Agency may construct private concourse corridors or concourse lobbies at his
i
I own expense which will not be reimbursable by the Agency. The location of
the pedestrian,passageway -system, including concourse corridors, nodes,
vertical access facilities and skyways to be mutually developed by the
Agency and Redeveloper are shown on the attached map marked Exhibit "A"
which must be compatible with the entire system of pedestrian passageways
in the downtown area of Sioux City, Iowa.
The pedestrian passageway system will be entirely enclosed and shall be
heated and/or cooled to maintain a temperature range between 600 F and 800 F
to assure pedestrian comfort. The term "enclosed" shall mean protected from
the weather, though the area of the pedestrian passageway system need not
necessarily be confined by its own walls.- The concourse corridors and sky-
ways to be developed by the Agency and/or Redeveloper will be constructed to
a'reimbursable width equal to the inside width of the skyway connecting to
the structure with a larger area to be developed at nodes.
DIVISION IIS
CONSTRUCTION RESPONSIBILITY. DESIGN-AND COSTS
A. Responsibility,
The Agency will be responsible for the construction of the skyways
(including mid-span support systems), pedestrian vertical access facilities,
nd nodes which are located outside Redevelopers property. Redeveloper will
e responsible for construction of all concourse corridors, both public and
rivate,'located within his property and all nodes located within his property.
edeveloper will also be responsible for the additional support in his
improvements necessary-to support the skyways where; they -abut his-structure
t the concourse corridor level. Skyways will be constructed to provide a
inimum clearance of 161 between thelowestpart of the skyway and the street
rade.
Skyways constructed across boundary streets of the CBD-East Project
rea by the Redeveloper will be eligible for Agency participation only upon
pecific approval and authorization of Agency. In any event construction
hereof must meet the requirements contained herein.
- 3
B. ; Design.
The design of the; public pedestrian concourse corridors must meet
the specifications established by the Agency set forth below for the puipose
of distinguishing public areas from private areas. Redeveloper agrees
not to copy or imitate the design identity of the Agency in such a manner
as to confuse or mislead the public from identifying those areas publicly
provided. Therefore, private concourse corridors and concourse lobbies
must be clearly and readily distinguishable from public areas.
C. Coate.
1. Concourse Corridors.
The Redeveloper's actual separate square foot costs of`con—
structing-the
on—struttingthe public concourse corridors will be paid by the Agency in
accordance with the provisions of DIVISION VI below up to a maximum of
$21.00 per square foot as adjusted. However,no private concourse corridor
shall be eligible for reimbursement from the Agency.
2. Nodes
The Agency recognizes that in certain instances nodes will be
necessary and/or desirable within a Redeveloper's' structure. 'However, loca—
tion, design and construction shall always be subject to_Agency's approval.
The Agency will be responsible for paying for the actual
" separate square foot costs of constructing such nodes up to a maximum of
$21.00 per square foot, as adjusted. Such nodes must clearly possess ,a
design identity and 'character separating them from abutting private areas and,
in the sole determination of -the Agency, must be primarily oriented to the
public purpose of accommodating pedestrian travel in the concourse system,
including orientation, direction changes, and congregation, or vertical
movement to street-level.--Nodeslor concourse corridor segments that are
solely or primarily integral to the use of abutting private building areas
will not be eligible for Agency financial participation.
3. Pedestrian Vertical Access Facility.
A pedestrian vertical access facility constructed by the
Redeveloper within his structure connecting, the private ground level floor of
Redeveloper's structure with thepublicconcourse corridors contained within
his structurewillnot.be eligible for Agency participation.

To; The City Council of Iowa City
From; David Baldus(�(.6
Re; Formal Expressions of the Council's
Intent on the Old Cap Offer
I appreciate your concern about further `delay ,of the urban renewal
project. However, from a business standpoint:I do not believe that a
reasonable negotiator would either insist upon or agree to the demand that
the Councilmanifest today some form of intent to accept Old Caps offer.
If your expression of intent is legally binding,' you expose the City
to possible legal action. And, whether binding or not, such an expression
will seriously weaken the City's leverage in fixture negotiations. It
already appears that Old Cap is in control of the discussions. A vote of
intent today, no matter how it is conditioned, will greatly strengthen
that impression.
Thus far the City has shown good ,faith and has acted reasonably
in the negotiations. Under these circumstances, I believe, a prudent
businessperson in the City's position would continue to bargain In good
faith and would agree formally to nothing until all outstanding issues
were settled. The citizen -investors of Iowa City whom you represent are
entitled to the same level of prudence.
DB Es
A pedestrianvertical access facility connecting public property
with the pedestrian passageway will be eligible for Agency, participation if
approved by the Agency prior to construction. -
DIVISION IV
EASEMENTS
Prior to public concourse corridors being eligible for reimbursement
f by the Agency, the Redeveloper must grant to the Agency all necessary
easements for, public use of the concourse corridors and connections therewith
to the skyways to be constructed by Agency.
Such easements shall be coterminous with the designated areas of -
concourse corridors and nodes, vertical access facilities, and -skyways and shal
also extend on the ground floor from the foot of vertical access facilities
to a public sidewalk or other public property giving access to a public, side-
walk. Such easements shall be required for both those pedestrian passageway
system elements for which the Agency is financially responsible and those
elements constituting a link in the basic system for which private parties
-
may be responsible. An example of the latter instancewouldbe_a privately
developed concourse in property-outside•of.the Urban Renewal.area which
connects two skyways built by the Agency or which become property of the Agency.
The easements must -be -in a form satisfactory, to the Agency and will be
limited to the life of the improvements constituting the concourse system.
The easements will grant to the public the`right of use of the concourse
!'
system for purposes of ingress and egress and pedestrian transit without.

responsible for sharing the cost of providing the required mechanical services
to the skyway. A'cost-sharing agreement must be reached by the affected
parties and submitted to the Agency for its approval prior to the commencement
of skyway construction.
DIVISION VI
COST DETERMINATION METHODS
In order to determine the actual concourse costs for which the Agency
will be responsible, the Redeveloper mall submit to the Agency actual con-
struction cost data inthefollowing manner:
1. The cost per square foot of providing the basic building shell`
for the building in which the public concourse corridor is located shall be
determined. This cost may include such items as excavation, foundation,
structural frame, floor and ceiling..structure, etc. It may not include
mechanical systems which in part serve the, public concourse corridor. It may --
not include site improvements, interior par titions:and.finishes, land -costs,
architect's -or other; fees, orothercosts not integral to the basic building
shell.
2. The cost per square foot for the interiorfinishes which comprise
and delineate the public concourse corridor area shall be determined. Such
costs for finishes may include floor and ceiling covering, lighting fixtures
and other components actually within the area of the public concourse -corridor."
Where partitions delineate the public concourse corridor from abutting
private building areas, the cost of the partition shall be the sole responsi-
bility of the Redeveloper.
The total of these two cost -per -square -foot determinations shall be
the amount for which the Agency will be responsible for each square foot of
public concourse corridor area, up to a maximum of`$21.00-per square foot,
as adjusted. i
3. The Agency reserves the right to exclude, from the determination of
the cost reimbursable by the Agency, any item not properly part of the basic
building shell or interior finishes.
4. The maximum Agencyexpenditure of $21.00 persquarefoot for
public concourse corridors shall be adjusted quarterly using the "Engineering
- News Record" Building Cost Index for the Sioux City, Iowa, area as of
June 1973, as the base figure. The date upon which the Redeveloper
enters into a construction contract for all or a part of the pedestrian
passageway system shall be used in determining the Building Cost Index
in effect and the applicable maximum limits shall be adjusted accordingly.
DIVISION VII
