Iowa City C I harter Committee Page 2 • january 17, 1973 The Committee then discussed the agenda for the public meeting. Mr. Meardon said,that a;usual procedure for, such a meeting is to have the writtencorrespondence to theicommittee read first, then the meeting :opened for speakers from�the floor. Finally the Committee left this :matter to the discretion of the chairman so that if there are,only a few::letters, they may be read first, but if there are many, the chairman may, delay their reading until the end of the meeting. Mr. Baldus mentioned the:procedure used in the charter hearings in New York City whereby speakers registered with a61erk and were heard in the order (1) individual citizens , (2)representatives ) politicians. There wa of organizations, an&(3 s some discussion, about procedural details and whether individual citizens would i a - actually 'prefer going first.` rst. The!final consensus was that y the chair. l people would speak in any,order as recognized b _, Mr. Rosenstein was asked to determine thefusing 'feasibility 0 l a boom mike and the limitations of th(.tape'recorder'. This ther people would be the deciding.factors in whe information could speak while standing at their seats or only at the front' microphone. The possibility of . a short presentation by Mr.Ringgenberg of,the under the City Code of Iowa forms of government und was discussed. The consensus of the committee was that they were there to listen and that such a presentation might make the hearing a question and answer session. Mr. Davidsen expressed concern that any material brought up in the hearing and not appropriate to the Committee but which was still valuable to other areas of city government should be i noted and reported to the proper persons or groltps. After some responsibility. discussion the Committee felt that this was their ed to the committee members information Mr. Ringgenberg distribut outlining the advantages and disadvantages of each form of government in Division IV of the city.!Code of Iowa This material was not discussed at the meeting.

Meeting was adjourned at 6:00 p.m. STAFF PRESENT: Wollmershauser, Lambert, Child Chairman Madsen called the meeting to order and asked if there were any corrections or additions to the minutes of the January 11,' 1973, meeting.' It was moved by Mr. Galiher, seconded by Dr.Ogesen, to 'approve the minutes as written. The motion carried unanimously. The first ,item of business was the Zoning Item D.1. which reads as follows: C-7301. Proposed change to Zoning Code 8.10.16C concerning bulk storage of liquid propane. Mr. Galiher moved, seconded by Mrs. Davidsen, to recommend to the city Council adoption of'the'',amendment:to Section 8.10.16C of. the Zoningr"Code. The motion carried unanimously. The Commissioners ? indicated that the amendment would -meet the national fire protection standards' and this was the basis on which they -made their recommen- dation. A copy of the proposed amendment is attached. Item D.2. 'Z-7222. Rezoning request of Capitol Propane Gas Company for rezoning of Parcel in Industrial Park (vic.-N.E. of cul de sac of Industrial Pk. Rd.) from Ml to M2. 45 -day limitation: February 12, 1973. Mr. Henry commented that it was his understanding if the area were rezoned M2 and the anticipated business was later removed, the City would still have considerable control over whatever might be located in that area because, Zoning as indicated in the Code, a long list of performance criteria would have to'be met. It was Chairman Madsen's opinion that as long as the performance criteria were 'met, all 'M2 authorized uses would have to'be allowed. Mr. Wollmershauser,clarified the issue by stating that.certain.uses are allowed (according to Section D. of the M2 Zone Use Regulations) but only after a study has been made by the Fire Department and the Planning & Zoning Commission who ' then, makes a recommendation to'the City Council. The City Council may then either approve or deny the request. In addition, performance,standards ,of the code would, have to be met for any proposed M2 use. Mrs'. Davidsen questioned who the enforcement agent would be. Mr. Wollmershauser indicated that this would be the responsibility of the Building Official. Mr. Henry noted that the Staff recommended approval of the rezoning request but the rationale or justification given seemed to be of the negative kind. He questioned whether more could be a I -Z- • said on behalf of the recommendation to approve the request. Mr. Lambert explained that the M2 zone would be basically harmonious with those uses permitted is Ml, that it would not conflict with the neighboring residential property, the use would not downgrade the area and, therefore, would not decrease the property value. These, Mr'.'Lambert stated, were positive reasons in favor of the rezoning. Chairman Madsen stated that rezoning has to be based on,the rezoning, rather than on the proposed use. Mrs. Davidsen " commented that she felt there were adequate reasons for rezoning the parcel to M2, but not just on the basis that Capitol Propane is going, to be there. S,Le'felt the industrial use along the railroad', with the buffering between the zones, would be a good place for M2 zoning. Mr. Galiher asked if ,there was more land along the railroad that would be available for M2.Mrs'. Davidsen said this was her understanding;,,otherwise, the Commission could possibly be accused of 'spot zoning. After_ further_dis_cussion; Mr. Galiherlfmoved, seconded by'Mrs. Davidsen, to recommend approval of the rezoning request of_- Capitol Propane Gas Company for rezoning of a Parcel in: _Industrial Park from Ml-to:M2,'subject to the adoption of the _pToppsed change in tie zoning or.i.nance concerning bulk 'storage o_fliquid propane, Section 8.10.16C of the Zoning Code. The motion carried,' 4-1, with 'Chairman Madsen voting no. Z-7221. Additional Comments concerning PAD for Court Crest, Inc. rezoning request. 45-,day'' limitation: January 25, 1973: Mr. Larry Waters, Vice'President of Court Crest, Inc.; spoke in favor of the rezoning ,and outlined the following reasons why he felt a favorable recommendation' should be forthcoming': 1.Fraternal use and church use are, closely related --'both serve a social function and, in many cases, a religious function. 2. Mr. Seydel, Housing Coordinator,' had indicated that the west portion of the Court Crest' property, presently` zoned R2, would not be acceptable as a site. for Housing for the Elderly. Mr. Waters commented that, in other words,'a higher density than for which they are asking is not acceptable. 3. The property, meets the ecological and environmental require- ments, there would be no change in terrain or exterior appearance, the property does enter onto arterial streets so traffic would not be a problem, Court Crest has buffered the east 85 feet of Parcel,Rl, which will remain RIB, so the neighbors would be protected. 4.' Mr. Waters concluded that you can expect a club to take on the characteristics of the neighborhood in which it exists, and, if it doesn't, it won't succeed. -3 - Chairman Madsen stated that, in his opinion, clubs should not be permitted in an Rl, R2, or R3 zone Mrs. Davidsen expressed the opinion that she could not see her function as a Commissioner to rezone with the idea of allowing a specific use and doesnot feel an R2 zone is the best over- all use for this land. She indicated she would vote against this requestbut would to add a proposal that clubs, churches,' housing sites for the elderly, etc. be considered.as special uses. It was her feeling that some problems that exist in Iowa City might be more easily solved with strict adherence to a special use category. Mr. Henry supported Mrs. Davidsen's proposal to consider special uses. He indicated he would like to see more flexibility in the zoning code and does not feel that increased density is necessarily to be avoided. Dr. Ogesen indicated that he personally felt fraternal organi- zations are inappropriate in residential zones but, since it is written this way in the',ordinance and we are currently operating under this ordinance, the importance.in deciding how to vote on this is what is the best land use. He noted that the Staff F feltthebest land use was single family residences. He stated that he couldn't completely agree with this position because the property is so well served by streets. The area is near to'. schools (families',with younger.children often tend to live in duplex -type dwellings) and they can also be well served by shopping centers'. The church building, which is presently sitting in the middle of the property and is too valuable.to be destroyed,; would probably blend in better with duplex -type units than single family type homes. For these reasons, Dr. Ogesen felt R2 would be an appropriate land use. Mr. Galiher moved, seconded by Dr. Ogesen, to ,recommend approval _of the rezoning request of Court Crest, Inc. ,from R1B to R2 of a portion of the former property of St. Mark'a Methodist Church. 'The motion was denied, 3-2. Dr. Ogesen and -Mr. Galiher __ - -- _ - votedyes;__Charman Madsen,_ Mrst Davidsen, and, Mr. Henry, voted no. Mrs. Davidsen moved, seconded by Mr. Henry, that the Staff investigate special uses, including clubs, churches, housing for,the elderly,' and any others the Staff thinks appropriate, with performance standards. The motion carried unanimously E.I. Selection of a P'& z Commission representative on the Riverfront Commission. Mr: Galiher moved, seconded by Mrs. Davidsen, to recommend to the City Council that Mr. Henry be appointed as representative to the Riverfront Commission effective July 1, 1973, with the stipulation that Chairman Madsen would serve in the interim.

Commission is nearing the completion of a Regional Housing Stud), which has been conducted by its staff 'under the guidance of the Citizens' Advisory'Committee(CACH Two of the basic goals that, have informally guided the study have improve the physical condition of the local housing supply and,i ooe'nable the _lowering of costs to the housing consumer. Un£ort- inately,' these two goals are most often in direct conflict --the cost of housing improvements is 'almost inevitably born by'the, housing consumer. However, ,there are some instances in which both goals can be`met, or at least in which the achievement of one ',goal does not I preclude the satisfaction of the other. In a joint meeting of the'CACH and the Housing Committee on . December 11, 1972, an example of such a'cost-saving housing improve- ment was the subject of extensive discussion and a formal resolu tion. It was resolved, that the jointicommittees recommend to the. City of Iowa City that its existing construction codes be revised' in order to permit the utilization of'Romex wiring in all'residen'- tial construction. It was felt by the committee members that this is but one of the innovations 'in constructiontechnology which promise potential cost savings to the builder and,which could be passed on to the housing', consumer. In subsequent discussions between members of the staffs of the Regional Planning Commission and the City of Iowa City, it was learned that the city-'is',awaiting the completion of the Uniform state Building Code by the Division of Municipal Affairs of the !- Office for Planning and Programming. Once this package of construc- tion codes is completed, it, is understood that Iowa City, and the other Iowa municipalities, will review the optional portions of this'Code for possible adoption at the local level.' The 'target (late for the completion of the Uniform State Building Code is February 1, 1973. It was also learned that the city staff has ,conducted some research into the relative advantages of Romex (non-metallic conduit) wiring with ,regard to the conventional metallic conduit procedure. In.a letter to OPP, dated January 4, 1973, the city staff stated its Iowa City City Council January 16, 1973 Page 2 'recommendation that Romex wiring be permitted only in one- and two-family residential construction. This recommendation was supported with lists of cities which either prohibit Romex entirely or limit its use to one- and two-family dwellings. Cost compari- sons between an estimate for wiring in Romex and in metallic conduit revealed a cost saving 'with Romex, but it was, concluded that this saving was "insignificant." It appears from a review of the information gathered by the city. staff, and on the basis ofl research conducted by, local contractors, that the -relative advantages of Romex 14-iring urith regard to the conventional methods is a subject which merits further investiga- ti6n. rClearly a substantial case can be made:for both the posi- tion of the city staff and that of the CACH and the Housing Committee. It is further recommended, therefore, 'thatwhen the time comes to consider the Uniform State' Building Code package, the City Council make a deliberate effort to hear the arguments of both sides of the Romex issue. Regardless of whether the state package complies'with the recommendations of the city staff or of the CACH and the Housing Committee, the City Council is obligated to weigh carefully the arguments on both sides of the Romex wiring question.

STAFF COMMENT: During the.January ll,,1973,P,& Z Commissionmeeting, the Commissioners': requested' the'Staff''and Developer explore',the possibility of 'using a PAD for use of a club for the subject property. The City Attorney was consulted at length and issued essentially the following opinion. The PAD provisions' of; the Zoning;,Code cannot be used ; for a Club as proposed by the Commission. The PAD General Provisions of Land Use require "combinations of uses including', single family, miltifamily, and commercial." A club is a' singular use, not a combination of uses, ,and as such would require a rezoning. A PAD is, fora mixture of interrelated residential and supporting uses. i y ,, s; x 1 7n ��.•I,�"- �' YJI��y ' kl h �.'t �. 1 li, r '� Y +� �6 i �ti.
