FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN:

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION:
Harris called the meeting to order and called for consideration of the minutes of
the September 27, 1979, meeting. Baldus moved, and Bartels seconded, that the
minutes be approved as circulated. Motion carried unanimously (3-0).
V-7911. Public hearing on an application submitted by Hawkeye Cablevision for an
exception as provided in Section 8.10.28H.2a of the Zoning Ordinance to permit the
construction of 175 foot cable TV tower.
Boothroy presented an overlay of the area and explained that the exception is being
requested only for the 501x50' parcel on which the tower is to be located. He
further explained that this is only a TV -FM tower and not a micro -wave tower. He
also indicated that he had talked with an engineer at the University of Iowa regarding
the proposed tower and was told that since this is a self-supporting tower there
was very little danger that the tower would fall. lie also indicated that in the
event that the tower did fall there was very little likelihood that it would fall
outside the 501x50' parcel. In checking with the FAA, Mr. Boothroy was informed that
this tower poses no air hazard for aircraft. Mr. Boothroy also stated that the
staff recommends that the exception be granted.
Bill Blough, representing Hawkeye Cablevision, stated that the first site that was
considered for the tower was denied by the FAA because of the general vicinity of
the airport. He also indicated that the tower cannot be located in a commercial
or industrial location and that it cannot be located too far from town because of
transmitting difficulties. He also indicated that this site was chosen because
this area appears to be an unlikely place for future development because of the
terrain of the immediate area. In answer to questions regarding the lease of the
property, he explained that Cablevision has a 15 year lease with three 5 year option!;
for this property.
Baldus asked if there would be an objection from Hawkeye Cablevision if the exception
was granted with a condition that the center of the tower be located 125' from 011
surrounding property. Mr. Blough indicated that he saw no problem with this.
Jen Madsen, a member of the Broadband Telecommunications Commission, asked if the
Board of Adjustment had received the Broadband Telecommunications Commission's
letter regarding this item, Harris indicated that they had received the letter.

Tony Frey, 15 Caroline Court, stated that he owned the property directly west of
the Barker property. He first discussed technical aspects of the tower with the
Board, accompanied by diagrams on the blackboard. During this discussion, he also
discussed stress limits of the tower. He also indicated that his property is located
at the bottom of the hill and that he was objecting to the tower on aesthetic grounds.
Ile also stated that he did not think that his house was in danger if the tower should
fall but thought that a 400' clearance should be provided to all surrounding areas.
Ile also indicated that he had not received a letter regarding this request and asked
that the Board not vote on this item until the next meeting because he felt that
it was possible that other property owners had not been notified either.
Boothroy stated that all property owners within 200 feet of the property for which
the exception is being requested were notified by letter.
Herb Davis, 707 Kimball Avenue, stated that he was opposed to the tower being in this
area because it was an R1A area. He also stated that he thought more investigation
should be done regarding the site for the location of the tower.
i Steve Kriz, owner of property west of the Hy -Vee Food Stores site, stated that he
had six lots subdivided in this area and that he felt the tower was going to be too
close to his property. He also expressed concerns about the fact that this property
would be undesirable for residential housing because of the tower.
After some discussion by the Board, Baldus moved and Bartels seconded that action on
this item be deferred until (1) an expert opinion could be obtained regarding the
possible dangers involved with the construction of the tower and (2) an appraisal
could be obtained showing the effect this construction would have on the surrounding
property. Motion carried unanimously.
V-7912. Public hearing on an application submitted by Eagle Discount Supermarket
for a variance and/or interpretation to Section 8.10.35.9.C.1 of the Sign Ordinance
to permit the erection of an advertising sign.
Boothroy indicated that a new facia has been constructed forming the background for
the sign that is requested. The proposed sign would be above the existing roof line,
He also indicated that the sign area would be greater than what is allowed in this
zone and that another variance would need to be requested.
Eric Swartz, attorney representing Eagle Discount Supermarkets, was present along
with the architect for the project, the head of construction for Eagle's, and the
local store manager to answer questions. Mr. Swartz presented a blueprint of the
original store and also of the proposed sign. He explained that Eagle's was acting
within the letter of the law and wished the Board to grant the variance.
Boothroy asked the applicant's attorney why they chose to propose a sign that was
not in conformance with the Sign Ordinance knowing the existing sign was non -conforming
and required to be removed in 1981 and that any replacement sign would have to meet
all requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. Swartz responded that not being fully
appraised of the Sign Ordinance was an oversight on their part, however, it would
have made no difference in their sign proposal.

Woody Kendall, Zoning Inspector, explained that the interpretation of roof line was
"the top of the,built up roof material which covers the structural members for this
roof." lie also indicated that covering the braces with a roofing membrane does not
qualify its surface as a part of the roof. In answer to questions from Board
members regarding the issuance of the building permit, he indicated that a building
permit was granted for the facia and inside work prior to the request for the sign
permit.
Following some lengthy discussion by the Board regarding the sign that is proposed,
Baldus moved and Bartels seconded that action on this item be deferred until the
next meeting. Motion carried unanimously.
Boothroy asked that the time for the next meeting be discussed. It was pointed out
that there is a 15 -day period required for publication of the meeting. Boothroy
also pointed out the amount of staff time involved in setting up a meeting and
suggested that the meeting be held the second week in December. After some
discussion, Harris asked if the meeting could be scheduled for the first week in
December. The meeting was tentatively scheduled for December 5.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION AND FORMAL ACTIONS TAKEN
Bolnick moved, Singer seconded, that the RCC approve the minutes of
the October 18 meeting as read. Approved unanimously.
Street LightiM
The Citizens for Better Lighting were not ready to make a
presentation. However, a member of Citizens for Better Lighting,
Neil Richie, was present and discussed with the Commission some of
the aspects of the street lighting question. Two citizens, Becky
Bagford and Danette Conyers, also were present to express their
support for additional lighting. The Commissioners pointed out that
the RCC would make recommendations regarding the energy side of the
street lighting issue.
RCC Goals and Objectives
The Commissioners set their goals and prioritized them. They will
add objectives at the next meeting and each member is directed to
pick a topic or area which they will keep up on. The goals are:
i
i1. Public awareness,
2. Energy audit,
3. Building energy code,
4. Transportation,
5. Community liaison,
6. Natural resources, and
7. Community design.
A previously existing goal - solid waste recovery - was placed under
natural resources. Community liaison was added as a goal because it
was felt that the RCC should establish and maintain contact with
local agencies or organizations such as Coralville, the University,
Johnson County, Johnson County Regional Planning Commission, East
Central Iowa Council of Governments, Iowa City Chamber of Commerce,
P.T.A.s, etc. in order to develop a community energy conservation
program.
