Re: Parking Prohibition on Bowery Street (Memo #7)
As directed by Section 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City this
is to advise you of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-234 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Iowa,
the City Traffic Engineer will direct that signs be installed so as
to prohibit parking from 8 A.M. to 5 P.M. Monday through Friday on
the north side of Bowery Street from the intersection of Gilbert
Street to the intersection of Dodge Street. This action will be
taken on or shortly after April 27, 1979.
COMMENT:
This action is being taken to facilitate traffic movement on Bowery
east of Gilbert Street. With the installation of the signal system at
the intersection of Bowery and Gilbert Street the removal of parking
will enhance the operation of this signal. When the sign installa-
tion is completed there will be no parking at any time on the south
side and the restricted parking on the north side.

Re: Parking on Bloomington Street (Memo p8)
As directed by Chapter 23-16 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City this is
to advise of the following action:
ACTION:
Pursuant to Section 23-234 of the Municipal Code of Iowa City, Iowa, the
City Traffic Engineer will direct that signs be installed so as to
prohibit parking at all times on the south side of Bloomington Street
between the intersection of N. Dubuque Street and Bloomington Street
east to the intersection of Bloomington Street with Dodge Street. This
action will be taken on or shortly after April 27, 1979.
COMMENT:
This action is being taken to enhance the movement of ambulances and
patients moving to the Mercy Hospital emergency entrance. This action
represents a change from the pre -January conditions in only two blocks
of Bloomington Street. The two blocks are the block between Dodge
Street and Johnson Street which historically was parking uncontrolled on
both sides and the block between Linn Street and Dubuque Street which
was also uncontrolled on both sides. The action as proposed above will
remove parking from the south side of these two blocks and leave the
parking on the north side uncontrolled. This will promote safer
movement by emergency vehicles to the hospital emergency entrance.

Re: Parking Regulations
Council had requested that all parking regulations be ready for the
Council agenda of April 17, 1979.
This haste has resulted in some confusion on the agenda. This memo
will clear matters up.
Council Brachtel'Ywill

d T Jim
sPre Previous which imotion�
mplementedcalendar parking and
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. parking. By rescinding the motion which
accepted this type of parking Council is, in effect, starting with a
"clean slate."
Some of the new parking memos are listed on the consent calendar as
items 3e(4), (5), and (6). Council should ignore items 3e(4), (5),
and (6) and instead work off the rest of this memo.
Council should note that item 3e(3) is a parking issue that is
completely unrelated to the parking discussions of the last several
months. This has to do with the fact that Bell Telephone changed
their business office location.
Memo #1 - Alternate Side Parking Alterations. This memo makes it
clear that Clinton, Linn, Iowa, and portions of Washington and
College are to have parking allowed on both sides.
Memo #2 - Calendar Parking Alterations. This memo installs calendar
parking on streets from 25 feet to 37 feet wide.
Memo #3 - 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 P.M. Parking Prohibition Alterations.
This memo removes the 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. parking prohibition on
certain streets and portions of certain streets as Council directed.
Note that this memo does not yet resolve the matter of Friendship,
Hollywood and a portion of Summit Street. (See memo 5a and 5b).
Memo #4 - 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday Parking
Prohibitions. This memo directs that the 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
parking prohibition be retained on certain streets as Council
directed.
Memo #Sa & #5b - Undecided 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p. m. Parking

removing 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. parking on Hollywood, Friendship, and
a portion of Summit Street from Bowery to the railroad tracks. If

Council wishes to keep the 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. prohibition, they
should adopt memo #5a, and if they wish to allow parking on one side
of these streets they should adopt memo #5b.
Memo #6 - One Side Parking Prohibitions. This memo institutes one
side parking prohibitions on all streets narrower than 25 feet. The
side was chosen by fire hydrant location and by the number of parking
spaces left. By using a parking survey done in 1972 we eliminated
parking on the side that resulted in losing the fewest number of
parking spaces.
Memo #7 - Parking Prohibition on Bowery Street. This memo prohibits
parking from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday thru Friday on the north
side of Bowery from Gilbert to Dodge. Council had agreed on this.
Memo #8 - Parking on Bloomington Street. This is something new.
Public Works is strongly suggesting that parking be prohibited at all
times on the south side of Bloomington from North Dubuque to Dodge
Street. This is the major ambulance run into Mercy Hospital and
calendar parking is not felt to be acceptable since the street will
be blocked on both sides by parked cars after 5:00 p.m. Public Works
strongly suggests passage of this prohibition.
Memo #9 - Parking Situation on Linn, Bloomington and Gilbert. This
memo provides for no parking anytime on the east side of Gilbert from
Market to Bloomington and provides for metered parallel parking on
the west side of Gilbert in the same block. It provides for metered
parking on the north side of Bloomington from Linn to Gilbert and no
parking anytime on the south side of Bloomington in the same block.
It also provides for an extension of the metered zones on Linn from
Market to Bloomington so the whole block is metered. This is
slightly different from the discussion with Council earlier in that
there was going to be uncontrolled parking on the north side of
Bloomington. This is a commercial area and it is felt the metered
parking on the north side of Bloomington will promote vehicle
turnover.
In summary, based on previous discussions with Council, Council
should adopt without reservation the following memos:
Memo #1
Memo #2
Memo #3
Memo #4
Memo #6
Memo #7
Council has the following decisions to make on the remaining memos:
Memo #5a and 5b - Is 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. parking to be left
on or remove rom Friendship, Hollywood and "ummit? One memo
or the other must be adopted, or portions of each adopted.

Memo #8 - This provides for "ambulance run" parking prohibition
on Bloomington Street.
Memo N9 - This refers to the parking in the commercial area
around Linn, Bloomington and Gilbert. The only thing Council
must be aware of is that it does provide for metered parking on
the north side of Bloomington from Linn to Gilbert and changes
the diagonal parking on the west side of Gilbert by Gilpin's
k� Paint Store from diagonal to parallel.

ANALYSIS
The final amended LSRD plan of Lots 3 and 4 of Westwinds (Windshire) has been to
a limited degree altered from the approved preliminary plan. In lieu of a
density of 52 dwelling units 48 dwelling units are now being proposed (Lot 3 has
four less dwelling units). fhe location of the recreation facilities have been
modified by shifting the club house further south to provide space for tennis
courts on the north and the storm water management basin will now be utilized
for a volleyball and/or basketball court. The number of parking spaces have
also been reduced on the plan. All other features of the plan are essentially
the same as approved on the preliminary, i.e., the location of parking, private
drives, and buildings. The tree planting plan has been submitted and found to
be in substantial compliance with the tree regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
It is the staff's recommendation that action on the amended LSRD plan be
