Box 2447 Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Re: Laura Hart and Mildred Freel Dear Mr. Leff: The City Council has referred your letter concerning access to Melrose Court to the City Manager's office for investigation. We believe it may be possible to work out a compromise on the second solution suggested in your letter, namely some type of parking on that portion of Melrose Court. As you know, Melrose Court widens directly after the corner and we believe parking could be allowed on the south side of Melrose Court in that area. The negative aspect of this solu- tion is that students may discover this area and use it for all day parking. Almost the entire area of Manville Heights has been posted "No Parking 8:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M." due to this type of all day parking. If your client feels this would be worth a try, the City would be agreeable It appears unworkable to give residents in the area a key to the gate. The ordinance passed by Council specifically prohibits motor vehicle traffic and in addition the difficulties caused by one neighbor having a key while other neighbors do not would be formidable. Please discuss this with your clients and let us know your feelings on this matter. Sinc rely yours, Neal G.

BOX 2447 IOWA CITY, IOWA 82240 The Mayor and City Council of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 May 22, 1979 Dear Mr. Mayor and Members of the Iowa City Council: MAY " 7 1979 ABBIE STOLFUS, CMC CITY CLERK (3) The undersigned represents Laura Hart and Mildred Freel, the owners of a dwelling home at 505 Melrose Court. This property is located on the portion of Melrose Court which runs east and west of the house being located "three houses" from the point where Melrose Court is being closed at its intersection with Greenwood Drive. The driveway for the property at 505 Melrose Court enters Greenwood Drive providing access to the property from its rear lot line. While my clients are not delighted with the prospect of the closing of Melrose Court, their main concern is to secure some type of accomodation to avoid the circuitous route which will be necessary for them to use their driveway. It appears to me that there would be two logical alternatives which we ask that you consider in an effort to alleviate their problem. First, they could be given a key to the lock gate so that they j could have vehicular access through that gate to their own property. The terrain of this property drops off sharply, so that the driveway access from the rear lot line is three flights of stairs below the house level. When heavy loads, such as groceries are delivered to the house, the closing of Melrose Court will now require approximately a mile's drive to get from the front of the house on Melrose Court to the driveway on Greenwood Drive. This seems to be past the point of a simple inconvenience. Secondly, if some type of parking was permitted on Melrose Court to the adjacent streets for the property owners, this would provide a means of vehicular access to their property from Melrose Court. I presume some type of permit could be issued so that parking would be permitted by permit holders only on Melrose Court or one of the side streets. Without through traffic by vehicles on Melrose Court the parking on that street would not present the safety hazard or congestion to traffic that formerly existed. Would you please review this request. I know that you are concerned with providing relief to the citizens of this community where it is consistent 1Iaq MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS -DES 1101NEs PHONE 338-7331 AREA Cao[ 319 MAY " 7 1979 ABBIE STOLFUS, CMC CITY CLERK (3) The undersigned represents Laura Hart and Mildred Freel, the owners of a dwelling home at 505 Melrose Court.

My husband is taking a developmental leave from the University of Iowa and our family will be moving to Albuquerque in August. I have enjoyed serving on Planning and Zoning and only regret that I will be unable to participate in the completion of a new zoning ordinance to implement the comprehensive plan. As a former member of the Iowa City Charter Commission, I am also distressed that after almost four years the Planning and Zoning Commission still has no by-laws adopted by the City Council. I•appreciate having had the opportunity to become involved in community government. Sincerely, Patricia T. Cain MICROFILMED BY JORM MICROLAB CEDAR RAPIDS•OES MOINES 1130
