Subject: Sidewalks on Holt Avenue
Gentlemen:
The undersigned residents of Holt Avenue hereby petition
Your Honorable,Body'to%exclude-`the 'placement of sidewalks
along Holt Ave nue >=from 'the'sidewalk-3.mprovement program.
It is our understanding;;_that,the initial request for side-
walks along Holt Avenue was made by.-an.anonymous person
who is not Al resident 'on our street.
For many reasons including those enumerated below, it is
our firm opinion that 'sidewalks are no 'needed.
1. Holt Avenue is a sh0-.r' reet which provides access to
only 15 residences on'an.average:._lot size of over
13,000 square feet Sidewalks for pedestrian safety
are redundant because of'the.extremely low volume of
vehicular traffic.
2. The placement of sidewalks along Holt Avenue would
result in an appreciable loss in. property value to
many res" idents: There-are-more;than _a dozen mature
trees, not tof men tion the extensive amount of landscaping
within the 60 foot right-of-way; of Holt Avenue, which
would be destroyed-'*
3. Holt Avenue is ,located within the= .Black's Park Addition,
a subdivision platted in 1915. The residences are within
an old, well established area, and; there is no reason to
assume that:after'58''years;'sidewalks are now needed.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
Name:- Address

Gentlemen:
We would like to petition the City Council to
consider changing the parkin; regulations on the south
side of West Prentiss in the one hundred block from
the present No Restrictions to,a two hour limit. Local
business in the area,; including ours, has beenpreluded
from using any of the street parking in the area by
University employees and others'stUring their cars on
the street, in. front of our businesses, for the entire
day.
Any consideration you may wish to give this request
will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,

Ladies and Gentlemen:
I write to call your attention to an increasing problem of traffic,
particularly the flow thereof, whichexists at Highway 6 By-pass,
Keokuk Street and Hollywood Boulevard.
The installation of traffic lights on the By-pass and Keokuk Street
was of great help in solving the terrible problem that existed there.
However, it is still quite difficult to make a left or right turn onto
Keokuk Street south from the By-pass.
The problem hours appear to be 7:00 to 9:00 a, m. ; 11:00 a. m. to
1:00 p.m.; and 4:00 to 7:00 p.m.
Because of the short distance between Hollywood Boulevard and the
By-pass, there is not enough stack up room for those wishing to
come off Hollywood to:,Keokuk'to the By-pass.
It would appear that some significant relief could be obtained by opening
Hollywood Boulevard on west to Linn Street. This would afford another
way out of the area.
With the upcoming opening of the liquor store and the high traffic it
will generate, the above referred to problems in my judgment will
become almost intolerable.
It is my understanding from other businesses in the area that these
problems have been brought to your attention previously. The results
of such surveys, studies and proposed solution would be interesting to
know about.

Our specific interest in this area arises because of the Iowa State
Bank office located there. If, and when, we relocate the downtown
office, undoubtedly, more traffic during any period of reconstruction
will gravitate to the Keokuk Street office thus increasing the traffic
at our institution which in turn will aggravate the total situation if some
solution isnot found to alleviate such problem.
Your early consideration of the above will be appreciated.

During the -recent _rainstormri this last weekend or im-
mediately thereafter:a
; number: 'of bathtubs, sinks and toilets
in the -above -.residential units backed up'and caused rather
extensive unpleasantness and inconvenience to say nothing
of a health hazard.
In thecourse of investigating'the cause of this pro-
blem,'I was told by City ;Engineer Bonnett that a large number
of sump pumps in the 'area, together'with the rainy weather
conditions ,'had precipitated the problem and that he had had
a number of similar complaints' from residents of the area.
While this -situation may -;have existed in the past, it
is something.Qhich should be :the subject to your immediate
consideration in:.my opinion and I request that you take
some affirmative:action,right,away to prevent similar pro-
blems in the future.

Dear Mr. Wells:
On behalf of the Retail Committee of.the Iowa City Chamber of
Commerce, I wouy:d lite to 'request that merchants be allowed to
make use of public ;sidewalks -for their annual "Sidewalk Sale --
Crazy Day" celebration Thuisday,-July.18'0-1974. This is an annual
city-wide promotion'n whch:.merchants'place. merchandise for sale
on the sidewalks for -.'a one'diy period, (which ends up being around
7:30 a.m. to 10x.00
For thepastfew years many merchants. have found this to be their
biggest day of:the year. I sincerely.,hope that all necessary
arrangements may be made as soon as_possible so that the publicity
can be sent out. I will look forward to your early response.
Cordially,
ly,
&�, yu

'W' Lnree purposes.
1. To express appreciation to the City: 'Staff .for the informational meeting
they held last Thursday evening, May 23 on the 1974 Storm Sewer Assessment
Program #1.
2. I rise to inform you -that although all affected property owners have not
been contacted - that we already have a -petition representing over 80.4
of the proposed assessed evaluation signed by the affected property owners
protesting the projected assessment on their property.
3. We were told that if property owners representing 75% of the proposed
assessment objected, it would require a unanimous vote of the council
to enact the asses®rhu�6t project.
In light of the objection to the assessment plat as presented, we would
hope that at least one council member would vote against the proposed
assessments in the :Washington Park - Potomac Drive project and thus we
are suggesting that.rather than.to continue work on the assessment plat
that work on such be halted•at_this time.
We are objecting to the assessment program and to the specific assessments
placed on our properties.

RE: proposed Water Connection Fees for 1974
On May 4,,- 1971, the City Counciladopted by resolution
71-163 a water connection fee schedule. On December 5, 1967,
the City Council adopted by resolution No: 674 a policy for
extending water:service_to'customers within the City of Iowa
City which contained a_ provision that these fees would be
reviewed annually and a iecommendation would be submitted to
Council as.to whether or not;a'change`should be made.
At the; present time the City is operating under a fee
schedule established by the City Council on May 4, 1971, by
resolution 71-163. Since that time -we have experienced increases
in salaries, pipe,•fittin%.s and hydrants; all of which combine
to give us an increase of approximately 20% over the present
charge for installation of water main.
In preparing an increase in fees to recommend for your
consideration both Superintendent of Water Cleo Kron and myself
feel that itis.necessary to establish fees for the following
size connections: -
MAIN SIZE PRESENT PROPOSED

10 -inch 7.40 9.15

If the revised connection fees are adopted by the City
Council I would '°suggest that we wait until July 1, 1974,
before 'placing the new schedule -in effect. This will allow
us time in which' to contact any.peopleI'that presently are
considering;water main extension agreements. I would suggest
that any agreementssigned prior to July 1, 1974, should be
installed at the old fee schedule.
I trust that these proposed water connection fees will
meet with your approval.:.`Should you desire to discuss this
matter in further detail please don't hesitate to contact me.

Re: Proposed residential development on the Ralston Creek
flood plain .
Dear Mr. Wolf-
Your request for Iowa Natural Resources Council approval of your
project located on the .Ralston. Creek flood plain in the SE 1/4 of
Section 14, T79N, R6W, JohnsonCounty, Iowa, has leen received.
It is our understanding that your proposed project consists of the
placement of fill and the construction of three residential buildings
on Lots 9 and 10 and portions of Lots'3 and 4,' Block 46, East Iowa
City, Iowa.* It is also understood that the ground elevation around
the buildings will be filled to approximately elevation 684, 0 ft., msl. ,
the basement windows willhave a minimum elevation of 684, 7 ft„ msl,
and the main floors of the buildings will have an elevation of 687. 7 ft, ,
msl. Further, it appears that adequate flood protection has been pro-
vided since the 'minimum.protection level for this location on Ralston
Creek is 684, 0 ft,, msl.
Although this location is in the flood plain of Ralston Creek and is subject
to various degrees -of flooding, it is not. Mi an area designated as necessary
to convey flood flows.
Due to the above considerations, the project as proposed is considered
to be minor in scope and to -have. no appreciable effect on the floodway.
Subject to the conditions listed below, the administrative limits are
hereby waived and formal Council approval for your project will not be
required,
1) the applicant shall be responsible for proper maintenance;
