HomeMy WebLinkAbout1975-04-15 Correspondence- April 15, 1975 --
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Council
Since Old Capitol presented our suggestions for changes in
the 'land delivery and construction schedules: -of our -redevelopment
ofIdowntown Iowa City, I have had a number of inquiries about
them. First of all, we feel these changes will allow for an
orderly flow of work which will ,be consistent'with.the plan as
well as current economic conditions. It is the current economic --
conditions that are -resulting _in a reluctance,on the part of the
large department stores to commit to new space - new space anywhere.
We know_ we will be successful in building the large center on
Blocks 83 and 84. Please bear in mind that we will begin con-
struction on that no later than July 1, 1977. we are ready to
rime tenant.
begin as _. -soon as we get_a commitment from the large p
bat We are certain that will `come by July of 1977. In the
meantime, we feel it is essential "that there be new construction
-- obs and more
going on in the downtown this year, creating more j
retail and _office space. We are therefore proposing to begun at
the heart of the project with a large building on the northwest
corner of College and Dubuque. At the -same- time -we -will be
constructing 100 units of elderly -housing. Both of these very
large buildings _-that -in our original, contract_ were slated to be
"-built over 5 years from now, commencing in 1980. We are not
delaying the project. All the changes, we propose are to move the
project ahead.- We -still will be completing the entire redevelop-
ment within the same time frame as originally, proposed. The city
also must move ahead ontheirpart of the redevelopment.- Wash-
ington`Street, this year; Dubuque Street from Washington to and
including -College Street and College Street from Dubuque to -
Clinton Street next year.
Working together, we can build the exciting, beautiful
--downtown we have all envisioned these many years.

Dennis'Kraft
Director of
Community- Deve1Jpmc.=t
4.Proposal #4 recommended a city-wide Planning Committee which
subdivided into 1) a Community.Consultation Committee which
is ;responsible for generating public participation and 2);,
anAlternativeCommittee which subdivides into work groups a-
round four core areas of concern.
Questions about this proposal centered around the role of ,the
Planning,, and Zoning Commission:
a. Should the Planning and Zoning Committee function as the
community -Development Committee in this diagram?
b. Should the Planning and Zoning Committee be responsible
for designing a structure for citizen participation?
c. Should the Planning and Zoning Committee be a Final ''Re-
view`committee 'functioni.ng`between the City Counciland
the Comprehensive Planning.Committee?
5. There was considerable discussion about the need to develope
separate -structures for::.citizen-participation--whether—utiliz-
ing--the-existing
hether utiliz-
ing` --the existing City_'Boards_,and Commissions..is adequate.,>.
6. Tom Walz suggested that Planning and Zoning Commission tends to
- _consider the City, from its physical development, but that there
are presently no comparable
Commissions to view the City from
its social development. He suggested a Social Commission on a
par -with Planning -and -Zoning might be -established -to represent
social serviceplanning and the two commissions would be joint-;
ly responsible for developing a comprehensive plan.'
7. Jim Harris expressed concern about focusing too closely upon
specifics of planning. He recommended a design for an over-all
planning process which defines the comprehensive -plan in a nar
plan'n;sense: and allows for -definition of the Housing and Com
rower-
munity Development-plans;in relation to the comprehensive plan.'
8. Ed Czarnecki favored establishing work groups composed of staff
8.
of relevantBoardsand commissions organizedaround
,
the four_ proposed core areas. Members of the Planning and
Zoning Commission would serve; in each work 'group. A Comprehen-
sive Planning Committee, established'by the; City Council, would
serve as the review and integration agency and would be-respon-
sible for establishing structures for :the over-all planning pro-
cess.
9. It was -suggested that perhaps the City_ should review the total
structure for citizen participation and consider whether the ex-
sisting arrangement of Boards and -Comm issi - Ons is relevant to the,
city's need -for long-range integration of goals and development
plan.

it has been well substantiated that "Iowa City's greatest park and
recreation needs are for an increased number ofrsmall
nReighborhood-
ve
parks".- Inconjunctionwith the objective of providing
and passive recreational facilities in all neighborhoods, it is
recognized that ,two neighborhood parks are -urgently needed in the
recognized
two most rapidly developing residential areas --"the East
Side area" and "the Hollywood Manor area". .These neighborhoods,
characterized by a high population of children,. -.are almost
completely deficient of needed parks and recreational areas.
