City Council
% Ray S. Wells, City
.Manager
City of Iowa City
Iowa City, ,Iowa
Dear Sirs;
We are writing to ask that the City of Iowa City
vacate a T-shaped section of alley that abuts and/or
intersects the following properties; those of Mr. and
Mrs. William Price Fox, Jr.,
of Mr, and Mrs. Carl H. Klaus
of Mr. and Mrs. James E. Manary, and of Mr. and Mrs.
Tom
Turner.. -A map of the area involved is attached, which we
trust will help clarify for
_you -both the location of this
strip of land and our reasons forasking, that it be vac-
ated. These reasons are 'several:--
First, as nearly as we can determine, the north sec-
tion of alley --abutting -the Turner Fox
and Manary properties
(see map, areaA) hasnotbeen used as an alley for 30 to
50
years, if ever. Its site is occupied by an old shed
a berry patch and -a -grape ,
arbor, and it theoretically
dead -ends in a heavily timbered
corner of the Turners'
horse -pasture.
Second, asitruns the entire -length -of the lot, -the
east strip of alley coming
_in from. Pleasant Street 'completely
severs the Manary home from its north
area 8). side yard>(see =map,
Third, the back half of this east strip of alley and
the south strip of alley which -intersects. -it
at the north-
east -_corner of the ;Klaus--property_=(see mapareas B &C) are
used by no ;one at
present. (The front half of area B"ia the
Manarys' driveway.) These
unused portions of the alley
consist oftrash-littered,.weed-choked, mud
ruts, created
by the garbage truck on its weekly rounds, not for the purpose
of garbage
pick -up -but for'takine a_ -"short cut" from Pl easant
Street back down to Davenport Street
. The garbage .men
-abandonned--this practice late''this winter because of the
hazardsinvolved,
,
Fourth, using these ruts as an alleyway.has'caused needless
expense to both the City and property
owners over the years
The `weight ''of the garbage truck, the size ofitstires;
wet
weather, the slope of the hillside and general uncertainty of -
terrain often resulted in
-have the -truck missing the ruts ,
getting stuck in people's yards, tearing up: -turf
and plantings,
spilling garbage, and having to be towed out by the City.
Fifth, the south and east,. sections of: alley in question
are unnecessary to question-
-any of -the City's, -service
departments.
They are not needed by the garbage department*$ because the
Manarys
and Turners have their; garbage pick-up on Cedar and
Pleasant Streets,
and the Foxes and Klauses have theirs on
Reno -Street., KI
et.needed by the
-water and sewage
departments, because mains run "along <'the street sides of
all houses the
-;in vicinity. And, they -are nbtneeded by the
fire department, because. the hydrant nearest
the homes and
garages along Reno and Davenport Streets is on- the
corner of
portion outlined in the vacation request. He noted.that the
City Engineer recommended!: that either 'the 'entirealley be
vacated or none of`it.
'Afterfurther discussion, it was!moved'by Mr."Henry and seconded'
by Mr.::Horner to recommend approval of item V -7302. -Pleasant
Stree ':A portion of,,alley:west from:Pleasant-Street then
north of. Davenport :Street. 'The motion' carried

Additionally, no new, relatively undeveloped areas of R2 zoned
land ,exist in>the .City other than the Court Crest ^property, 'on
Muscatine Avenue recently rezoned to R2 (the former St. Mark's
United Methodist Church property)`.
Duplexes have recently become a very popular housing 'style by
families who are either in Iowa city on a temporary basis and/or
familieslwho'either-'cannot
afford or do not desire to'purchase
single,family housing but still desire lower densityhousing.
An extension of this' already existing 'R2 zone would provide
additional space for construction of duplex type housingwithout
conflicting with nearby
neighboring land,uses.'
The extension of the RIB zone will continue the type'of develop-
ment,already existing to the north and east of the proposed>
zoning;;area'.
STAFF The Staff finds no reason ,'for
RECOMMENDATION:
opposing the"I'granting of these
two zoning changes:
