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. `

Re: Leland S. 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,

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.

Dear Mayor Brandt:
At the beginning of my.first year in the Senate, I sent a questionnaire
to all Io+a municipalities seeking information about their needs and
problems with respect to federal grants-in-aid programs. 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.

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!

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.

IMPACT STATEMENT FOR FREEWAY 518
Since 1962 there has been discussion of the''need for a bypass around
the southwest side of Iowa City by the'Iowa Highway Commission9 the
City of -Iowa City, the:University:of 'Iowa and other affected govern
mental ;agencies..`` Within the past six months it has been the City
Council's position,that it'`was extremely important that this project
be started and that such a`bypass`b6 constructed now ''rath'er'than
dehayed_even further: Not._only i,s this..,de1ay causing increased
traffic congestion on streets within th'e corporate limits of Iowa
City,, but it is fairly, obvious that with the passage of time there
Is, a continuing,increase, in the.cost of: cons 'tructing.,such a.highway
facility.
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

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.

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.

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.

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

Dear Colonel Tucker:
In my view, the display of the ,United States flag on
the uniforms worn by law enforcement officers is
appropriate, both as an indication of 'respect for the
flag itself and as a reminder that our flag symbolizes
the American freedoms which the peace officers of
our country have -dedicated their lives and their :en-
ergies to.preserve. I was interested to learn of the
initiative .the American.Federation of Police_has'taken
in encouraging its members to -wear representations
of the flag and I want to take thisopportunity to, send
my best wishes to you and to your fellow law enforce-
ment officers.
Sincerely,
Colonel N. Lee Tucker

Dear Fir. Epstein:
When I first invited you and Officer Harris to Hillcrest, I admit reservation, as our
dorm has not in the past been at all receptive to Law Enforcement Agents. 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.
In the past we have experienced hostility between the two groups whenever we attempted
such a program. These recent prograns are an indication that we are heading for a
more improved line of communication between these taro groups.
Severalstudentsthat were present from other buildings were equally irpre.ssed and
have expressed interests in having you come to their hall to participate in a similar
program. In my opinion, you and Officer !'arris have made an imxleasurable contribution
toward better student -police relations by demanding their respect and gaining their
confidence.
Sincerely,

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.
