HomeMy WebLinkAbout1973-03-06 Correspondenceam Freda Hieronymus.I am the Executive Director of 'Old Capitol: Business Cen Com a group of approximately one hundred formed in response to Mayor Brandt's call for help from the citizens of Iowa City. This is a'group made up of business, University, professional, and other interested citizens who propose to take on the major responsibility for the development of the down - tow n own-town urban renewal area. All of the people in our group are residents of the Iowa ,City area for it is our feeling that it is the residents of the area who best know the kind of downtown they would` like to shop in, work in and live with. We are very much aware of the proximity of our beautiful University campus and it is our intention that our downtown be integrated with 'and complimentary to the atmosphere created by the University. We hope to bring to Iowa City downtown another large` department store, provide for our dislocated businesses and offices, other new businesses and replacement for some of the lost living spaces.. We realize the importance of a complete transportation system and we will work towards that end. We feel that there is a definite need for a strong downtown center to provide those services which are most convenient when available in a central location. In order to accomplish these goats our group agrees with the analysis of the city officials that it is necessary that It be done through a general development concept and Working towards that end we are in the process of interviewing developers to aid us. ` ,aea •DISBURSEMENTS TO BE APPROVED • CITY, COUNCIL MEETING 'MARCH 6, 1973 GENERAL Welt Ambrisco B Walton Position Bonds 20. 00 :.

Yoder - Brenneman Seed Store Dear Mayor and Councilmen: On February 13, 1973, I filed with the City Council a letter on behalf of Leland S. Yoder, owner of Brenneman Seed Store, located at 401 South Gilbert Street, requesting your attention to the relief of a parking problem existing in the area of the Gilbert and Court Street intersection. On March 1, 1973, Mr. Yoder and I met with the City Manager and with City Staff personnel to review the proposed construction plans for Court Street and to review possible alternatives to the relief of parking con- gestion. On the basis of this meeting, I would now like to request on behalf of Mr. Yoder that the City Council pass a resolution authorizing the restriction of parking on the West side of Maiden Lane between Court Street and Harrison Street to a one-hour time limit until such time as work is commenced on the storm sewer project which will include this portion of Maiden Lane. It is recognized that this will only provide temporary relief; however, it is my understanding that work is not likely to be commenced on the storm sewer project until the latter part of May, and this temporary relief would be vital to the nature of Mr. Yoder's seed store business. Thank you for your consideration of this request. Sincerely yours, LEFT_ EFF & LE PF� Alan R.

REGIONAL OFFICE KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI IN REPLY REFER To, IlonorabLe Loren Hickerson Mayor.of Iowa City Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Dear Mayor Hickerson: Jubject. City University Project II Project No. Iowa R-18 Iowa City, Iowa' This letter is to inform you of the status of the combined Part 1 & II Loan and Grant Application for R-18 in light of several recent urban renewal policy revisions. First, it is now DllUD policy that projects presently in planning must be,in execution no later than March 31, 1973, or the project reservation will be terminated. In view of this 'fact, it is of, paramount importance that the City's Worxable Program be recertified as 'soon as possible. I understand 'that the additional information we..requcsted on the Workable Program was received by us on February 6. We will complete our review and respond to you regarding this information as coon as, possible...In the meantime I suggest you take all possible action to adopt an acceptable Plumbing Code, as Mr. Kraft, Director ''of Community Development, indicated a desire to do in his letter of February, 2.,Any _questions regarding the Workable Program issue may be directed to Mr. Larry Hatcher, Community Planning and Management Representative.' Second, projects now in planning cannot proceed to execution unless there exists a plan to provide alternatives to Federally -subsidized housing.(eg. Sections.235 & 236, Rent Supplements, Low -rent public housing) anticipated for use either within urban renewal boundaries or for relocation resources in other areas. This stipulation was made to insure that statutory requirements regarding the provision of low and moderate income dwellings for renewal areas could be met despite HUD's current hold on additional approvals for federally - subsidized housing. We have been informed that amendatory funds for projects now in planning can be provided only after amendatory needs are satisfied Recently IiUD issued I[andbook 1320.1, Real*Prroperty Acquisition. 'The handbook covers the regulations pursuant to pu is al•1 91-646. Thereare some significant changes to our former ..:...:.:: policies and iI will listthem in this memo. 1. We no longer have to get IiUD concurrence in proportios exceeding $100,000 or for which the appraisals'' differ by more •than 1504. 2. After we receive both appraisals on the property, they -ire to, be reviewod by a-s.aff reviewer and lie is to givo his written opinion as to tho Fair Market Value on t)ie property. We will then bring it -to the City Council and if they agree with the reviewer's opinion, they will establish the Fair Market Value by resolution. No proclai:ner is necessary. If tho Council Anes not agree' with our staff roview,-uc will then have to scene HUD concurrence in a Pair Markot Value. 3. No sooner than 90 days prior to thc'initiation of negotiation, l:o must solid the property owner a letter of intent, to, acRuirc, his real property. Finally, the regulations support our case against Mr. Mcarcion. In tho section roRarding acquisition of tonant-6i•tned inprove;acnti;, t;: suite, "i)0 pa)'Mcllt 'f Or 017 such impr Ovenclits :iilnl) 1w ii; 11I1lO9s the owner disclaims all right, title and. inteyost.. lit (:hc iup)rovemonts ctosigllatod as owned by the tenant and the te..mt nssizns, transfers and releases to the Agoncy all his right, title, interest in and to such improvements." '.JlliC:pw . � 1 in connection with projects in execution. As you know, a reservation Of finds in the amount of $1,046,000 was made in December, 1965 for R-189 and an amendatory request for $1,078,802 was filed with IIDD in August,1972 for a total requested Federal Grant of $2,1247802. After examining our funding plan in light of the stipulation on use of amendatory fluids, we have concluded that your $1,0782802 amendatory cannot be funded. In light of the above three factors, we must know as soon as possible whether you still wish to pursue the R-18 application, in which case a revised application must be submitted by March 12, or whether you wish to withdraw R-18 from consideration. y, erely, 1<7 • Honorable Loren Hickerson Mayor of Iowa City Iowa City, Iowa 52240 near Mr. Hickerson: Subject: Proposed Parking Facility City -University Project I Iowa R-14 This is in regard to your letters of January 19 and 31 an the above subject. we -appreciate your efforts to keep us informed in this matter and ax�e3ympathetic with the.probleme you face.

The response from the cities and towns w•ss excellent and was extremely helpful to us -in expediting, and otherwise assisting with applications and projects underway. Because of rapidly occurring and far-reaching changes in Administration policies relating.to grants-in-aid programs at this time, it occurs to me that; it is .time to obtain another overview. I would deeply appreciate your cooperation in answering those questions that nre. relevant, to your cameatity. As you know, .the passage of,revenue - sharing legislation has brought a new dimension.to federal, state and local relationships Therefore, I would also like to have your frank comments on ways in which these relationships can be strengthened. As astep toward.maintaining,more direct and immediate. communication with. state and local government officials in Iowa, Shave established two additional home state offices under the authorization approved by the Setate last summer. These two offices -- serving Eastern Iowa (Davenport), and Western Iowa I(Sioux City) -- are in addition to the DesMoines office`, I am 'grateful for your taking the time to respond to this inquiry. I hope you will always feel free to call one of our offices whenever we may be of assistance. Sincerely yours, HAROLD E . HUGHES I01: pd Enclosure • 2. Population 3.

ZRTZi Civic Center, Iowa City, Iowa 52240 March 5, 1973 Mayor Cs,sL: Brandt and Members of the City Council Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 PROJEC TGREEN Gentlemen: TheBikewaysCommittee of Project GREEN would like to propose, a=joint project with the City of Iowa City and Johnson County for a bicyele and 'hiking path from the Mayflower Apartments on North Dubuque Street to the Coralville Dam Road via -county road, Old 218 This road is currently used by bicyclists, hikers, and thousands of cars as the most direct route to the recreation areas of the Coralville Reservoir and Lake MacBride. It is also part of the "Old Capitol Trail" along which hundreds ofBoyScouts from all over Iowa and adjoining states hike every summer. Because the road itself is narrow and has narrow soft shoulders it is cur rently very hazardous for all users. We propose that a six-foot wide path of compacted limestone be built within the right-of-way, but separated by grass or brush from the road wherever possible.An initial survey shows that such a path is feasible. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors has agreed to support the project with $5,000. Project GREEN will also put in $5,000 plus whatever funds can be raised in a Bike-a-thon in April. We would like to ask the City of Iowa City to allocate $5,000 also. The funds raised locally are eligible for matching federal funds from the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation, and we have been urged to apply for such funds by Jerry Schneff, Director of Planning for the Iowa State Conservation Commission. This bikeway would fit in excellently with the State-wide Bikeway Plan which intends to develop the Lake MacBride-Coralville Reservoir area as one of its first projects. The Johnson County Regional Planning Commission has agreed to assist in the preparation of an application for matching funds. Mayor C. L. Brandt and March 5, 1973 Members of the City Council Page 2 Since the proposed route crosses I-80 on a bridge owned by the lowa State Highway Commission, we have contacted the Commission. In a telephone conversation with Mr. Coupal, (Director of Highways) lie indicated that the Commission would endorse such a project and would consider possible proposals for carrying riders across the bridge. We therefore urge you to allocate $5,000 for such a bikeway, so that this project can get under way as 'soon as possible. Spring. is almost here!

Wells City Manager City of Iowa City Civic Center Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Mr. wells The Protective Association for Tenants would like to have placed on the next regularly, scheduled City Counciloagendain the -matter of the Tenant -Landlord Code for Iowa City, propose July of 1972 by councilman 6d Czarnecki. Specifically, we would like to propose to the Council that it authorize an in-depth study of the proposed landlord -tenant ordinance by:a competent agency 'equipped,to'answer.in some detail questions similar to the following: 1. When the Home Rule law takes effect in Iowa in July of this year, will it be lawful for a municipality, like Iowa City, to pass an ordinance like the one proposed to the City Council last July? 2. If no, why not --in detail, citing the specific sections of the Iowa Code that prohibit such laws on the local level? 3. If yes, then in what form and how detailed can the local ordinance be? 4 will an affirmative answer permit Iowa City to okay an ordinance similar to the one proposed last July? 5. If the an is a qualified affirmative answer, then just what, in some considerable detail, will the state laws permit the local jurisdictions to say and do about landlord -tenant affairs? Now, if the answers can be obtained to the above questions concerning the potential conflict between local jurisdiction and state jurisdiction --yes or no, and how much --then PAT would also like the '.Council to ask a competent authority to explain in detail what, if any, conflicts exist between the present Iowa City code and the proposed ordinance? The above question is, of course, of less pressing im- portance than the series that precede it. wells --2 PAT would like to further request that if the City Council approves such a study, that it specify in detail the scope of the information it is requesting, and that it set very severe time limits.. Finally, PAT would like to offer the suggestion to the City Council, that, following receipt of the above information on the proposed landlord -tenant ordinance, in the affirmative and in line with what the ordinance presently states, the city staff be authorized to do the following: 1. Study the size and the cost of the increase in the city professional staff that will be required under the provisions of the proposed ordinance. 2. Study, the various methods allowable to the city for raising revenues through licensing af:approved rental properties. 3. Study proposals now in operation in other parts of the country for drawing up rent guidelines. 4. Study how much a Commissioner (Department Headland committee members of the proposed Commission on Tenant -Landlord Affairs should be compensated. Thank you for your time and attention.

It is important to keep in, mind.that.with the University of;.Iowa's ; development: of a state-wide medical complex on the westside campus it becomes increasingly :important'"to providequick'' and easy access to the' University:Hospitals,-located in, the center of 'Iowa ,City. This can best 'be 'achieved through', convenient access from a bypass around`.the southwest side .of Iowa City such as is proposed with the construction of Freeway 518. In reviewing the draft document and the additional comments which have been prepared by various individuals therCity:Council would - submit the following statements for consideration by by the Iowa High- way Commission. 1. On pages 7 through 12 considerable reference was made to reports prepared by ,the',Johnson County Regional Planning Commission. The impression is given that the various studies and data included in this Environmental Impact Statement had been approved by the Planning Com- mission. Clarification should be made so as to point out that the data which the,Highway Commission refers to was really in the form"'of technical papers and memoranda that were prepared either'by the staff of the Regional • Planning Commission or by the Policy and/or Technical' — Committees,working on the Area Transportation Study. No implication' should be made that the information contained in those reports has been accepted by either the Planning Commission or by any of the governmental agencies, �.. -z- especially the City of Iowa City. In addition, it is suggested that each of the reports used as reference .. Material . should- .�,.^. -JC otnoted and' included in the bibliography found on page 60 of.the`Impact Statement.' 2. On page 14 there is reference made to channel changes that would be required in the construction of the road- way. It is our feeling that these changes are not Particularly significant and any changes to the channels would be reviewed by the Iowa Natural Resources Council and•approved,by' them ,:if the watershed drainage area exceeded two square miles. 3. Some discussion was held on, page 30 concerning the impact of noise caused .by traffic on the proposed free- way. While there are no major residential developments' taking place now along .the east side of Freeway 518 - between,Iowa_Highway Nl and Melrose Avenue, nonetheless it is felt.desirable to plan for the planting of vegeta- tion_along- this -,area so as to reduce, the impact>of vehicular•noisalProperties.that might •. • develo in:=that area at':some time in the future.:° p 4. In the section on fire protection discussed on the bottom of "page' 31it 'is 'pointed out that fire protec- tion„for:,the rural area'`outside of Iowa City would be provided through 'contract with the City's Fire Department. The. City, of Iowa City does not provide fire 'service out-` side .of its corporate limits except on a special mutual- aid'.arrangement with'the City of Coralville. It is not felt that there would be detrimental effects to the property,on the west side of Freeway 518 ;and within the corporate limits''of Iowa City through the construction of the proposed freeway. This property could still be served by the Iowa City Fire Department. Long range planning ,for, additional fire service would take. into ` account the`Freeway location: 5. There is,a brief discussion of alternatives to the pro- posed design of -Freeway 518 found on pages 37 through 43. It is our feeling that 'every alternative that the Highway Commission reviewed should be listed within the Impact Statement' but not discussed in great detail. By simply listing all of--tTe alternatives that were reviewed' it would provide for a more comprehensive understanding of the complete analysis which the Highway' Commission design personnel investigated prior to arriving at the present proposed alignment as the most desirable one to • build. • -3- • 6. On page 43 reference is made to the fact that as develop- ment occurs along the proposed project corridor itis b' t to, regulations. Actually, currently not su Jcc zoning this statement is in error since all rural areas along the corridorin Johnson County are subject to the provisions of.th6 Johnson County Zoning Ordinance., 7. it is felt,that,the section found on page 49 discussing the total Freeway 518 project as it peTtains to the over all freeway, and highway system should be expanded. Specifi cally, discussion should be carried out in further detail as to the impact that a major north-south ' highwayfacility will have on eastern Iowa by providing a through link from Minneapolis, Minnesotat to Saint Louis, Missouri. Itmust be kept in mind that the Freeway 518 segment that is located within Johnson County and bypassing-Iowa City on the south- west is, an extremely important link in the"entiTe highway network system. : 9. A minority report ''from the - Policy and -TechnicalCommittee --of:-the., Are a-Transportation, Study indicated that the pro-. S.: f on the Secondary posed, reeway�woul&hive a� erious ef ect Road Department of Johnson County. Specificallyt. it made. reference to 'apossible:�reduction in.RoadUse Tax,,funds to the County,. It is.our.feeling that this particular comment is not peTtinent,to inevaluation.of the construction of such:. a, highway. , For many years, the municipalities in Iowa `received re . ceived far less thantheir fair share of revenue, from the Road Use Tax Fun&to support not only maintenance ,opera- tions but,also the construction of new facilities. M n 9.� The:.co meAt has been made that considerable mileage will have'to.beconstructed by Johnson County as a result of ' the proposed freeway. Againo it should be pointed out that the City of Iowa City is in the same situation but we do not:�view:this;as a problem. In fact, specific plans have already.been made by the City to accommodate for the im- proveinient of facilities that would be directly affected by the construction of Freeway SIB. In particular I on the south side of -Iowa city U. S. 218 is already under construc- tion'and will be widened to a four-lane facility so as:-to accommo . date,the traffic off of the proposed interchange at Freeway 518 and U. S. 218. In similar fashion, the City is planning to widen and pave that portion of Melrose Avenue from the proposed interchange with Freeway SIB east to the pre I sent four-lane divided section on Melrose Avenue. The City is also making plans, in conjunction with the University of Iowa, for the improvement of Melrose Avenue from the east side of University.Heights to its intersection with Riverside Drive. -'4 i. 10. Modification to. Mormon Trek Boulevard 'Will.not have a significanteffect'on'the movement of traffic in a north -south direction and, in fact, might even facili- tate the movement of traffic utilizing that particular road. II. The 'question has been raised in regard to the impact on the Iowa City Municipal Airport by the,construction.of the 518 Freeway., It.should be pointed out that the Municipal Airport is'already restricted and bounded by highways, rivers, and topography. The staff has re- viewed possible expansion of the Airport in the`past and concluded that it`was not feasible or desirable to extend the length of any ',of'the runways. Furthermore, with the discussion underway of some,type of regional airport it is not considered that funds should be used to expand the Iowa City Airport. In other words, since this airport is already restricted the construction of Freeway 518 would have no adverse effect on the airport. 12. If there is in fact concern about the fuel crisis and making more -efficient useother transportation systems as is mentioned in'one''of'the'drafts by 'a re- viewing agency, then it.appears to us that this is a matter requiring an energy policy level to be adapted at the national level and not.by representatives of the City of Iowa City. 13.' Although the sewage lagoon presently serving the Johnson County Home will have to.be relocated it is our under- standing that the"Highway Commission `would be construct- ing ,a'new lagoon'' for them. ':If: however,', the County Home, or other affected residents,.,desire to have sewer service provided by the 'City of Iowa City it would be possible to construct a sewer from the existing lift station located in theHawkeye Apartment complex westerly along theClear Creek watershed to serve this property. It should be kept -,in mind, however, that the property owners would be required ,to pay for the cost of such a sewer ,line in accordance with the previously established City's policy on extension of''sewer °services. In conclusion it is the feeling'of the City Council that the above mentioned comments should be forwarded to the Iowa 'Highway Commission and included in an Environmental Impact Statement which they must. submit in accordance: with their requirements for preparing such Impact Statements. Overall it is our feeling that the beneficial aspects ort of the proposed Freeway 518 project should be stressed in the re :. r SERVICE REQUEST: CITY OF IOWA CITY No. A 12 4 IOWA CITY, IowA AM ala, �..l.n...n,� 30,_l4l'3 Time How Ricehndr Phone 0 i latter. ❑ In Person ❑ Dear Resident: Think you Iorballing this matter Received by to eur.Nenlion.

Programs that promote'a positive interaction between law enforcement officials and college students are long overdue. It. is commendable that yours went over so well.

'Assistant Fire' -Chief City, Clerk _Parks $"Rec. Director Finance Director Public Works Director Attorney Community Deva Director SUBJECT,: i `Maintenance, of unpaved streets For a number of yearsthe City's policy relative to unpaved streets in the'City'has been that the City would provide necessary labor for normal grading and maintenance and when crushed rock was required the abutting property owners would pay for such rock. This practice is followed for both public streets and alleys. Reasons for the position are fairly obvious, not the least of which is the money involved in providing for extensive maintenance on streets which property owners, for various reasons, choose not to.-have,paved. Up until ,recent annexations of areas primarily on the east;and west sides of the City, this policy created no;par - ticularproblem since' practically all the streets in the, City, were Paved or-i.^. t1, process of'"bein_g paved. Today, however,we know of several public roads in the City 0 which are impassable to normal vehicular traffic•under certain extreme weather conditions such as that experienced this past week. The recently annexed areas involve roads such. as Camp Cardinal road; the southerly extension of that roadway to Melrose Avenue; a section of road connecting Melrose Avenue and Rarrit Road; a part of old Dubuque Road, as it loops around the Carriage Hill subdivision just north of Highway l; sections of east.Rochester well beyond First Avenue; and parts of Scott'Bivd. In addition to these recently acquired headaches we also have Taft Speedway and Foster Road, which have been in the City for a longer period of time, but represent the same kind of-problem. While we might discuss the differences in a County road system and a(municipal system and the, funds available for each, the obvious conclusion seems to be that even when property owners are un willing or unableto provide a paved road totheirproperty, the City must assume some responsibility foraccessfor emergency and service vehicles. The problem then would.seem to be a matter of degree -- hot, much should the City speed to maintain roads which are unpaved? in a few instances this may represent a substantial in- vestment for access to only two or three families.
