BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Section 14-61~7B of the Zoning Ordinance states that land acquired by the government of the
United States, the State or a political subdivision thereof, shall retain its existing zoning
designation until such time as the Zoning Map is amended to designate such land a Public Zone
pursuant to Section 14-6U-6. The P, Public, designation serves as a notice function to those
owning or buying land in proximity to publicly owned land, which is not ordinarily subject to the
regulations of the Zoning Chapter. The zone change application has been initiated by the City to
bring 1828 Lower Muscatine, which has been purchased by Kirkwood Community College, into
compliance with Section 14-61 of the Zoning Ordinance.
ANALYSIS:
The Public Zone permits the use of land, buildings, and structures of the Federal and State
governments and their political subdivisions. Approval of the zone change for 1828 Lower
Muscatine will bring the property into compliance with Section 14-61 of the Zoning Ordinance.

Arterial Street Plan
The most important element of the JCCOG Long Range
Multimodal Transportation Plan is the arterial street plan.
The arterial street system impacts all modes of
transportation: motor vehicle, public transit, bicycle,
pedestrian, and even indirectly, rail. The efficiency of the
arterial street system is an important quality of life factor
in any community. Arterial streets which are under-built
or substandard cause congestion and Ionger~than-
necessary travel times. This creates irritated, aggressive
motorists; safety problems for pedestrians and bicyclists;
can deter growth in the community; and undermine both
commerce and recreation.
The objective of the arterial street plan is to identify deficiencies in the arterial street system and provide
information necessary for public officials to make decisions regarding improvements. The arterial street
plan is intended to provide a guide for the programming of capital improvements by the various local and
state organizations responsible for arterial streets. The plan does not suggest specific improvements for
specific locations. The entities which participate in the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy Board -- Coralville,
Iowa City, North Liberty, Tiffin, and University Heights, as well as the University of Iowa and the Johnson
County Board of Supervisors -- will all deal with arterial street issues in ways which are appropriate for
their respective communities.
No longer does the identification of an arterial street capacity deficiency carry with it the assumption that
the street will automatically be widened. There are alternatives for dealing with arterial street capacity
issues, and the political process will consider the full range of alternatives before arriving at a solution.
Arterial street planning is conducted by JCCOG for the
entire urbanized area since arterial streets do not
terminate at municipal boundaries. Arterial street
deficiency issues which cross municipal boundaries are
coordinated by JCCOG, and solutions are developed to
the satisfaction of all jurisdictions involved. Having
arterial street planning coordinated by JCCOG ensures
that there will be compatibility in arterial street
improvements from one community to the next.
Capital improvements to arterial streets in the Iowa City
Urbanized Area are not only a local concern. The Iowa
Department of Transportation is responsible for the
federal and state system of highways and expressways
which are included in the Iowa City Urbanized Area arterial street system. These include major interstate
highways, National Highway System routes, and portions of the State Primary Highway system.
Jurisdiction over State Primary Highway extensions within municipalities is concurrent between the
respective city and Iowa DOT.
jccogtp/LongRange/P[andoc 17
The arterial street system for the Iowa City Urbanized Area is shown in the following figure. In addition to
arterial streets, the figure also includes the expressway system, and a small number of collector streets
which have some arterial street function. Programming of improvements to the expressway system is the
responsibility of the Iowa Department of Transportation, with concurrence from the respective city.
JCCOG's planning for the arterial street system in the Iowa City Urbanized Area includes the corporate
limits and long-range growth areas for the cities of Coralville, Iowa City, North Liberty, Tiffin, and
University Heights; as well as certain streets under the jurisdiction of the University of Iowa institutional
Road System. Because arterial streets do not stop at the boundaries of the urbanized area, consideration
is also given to ties with the rural arterial system in unincorporated areas of Johnson County. Many of
these rural streets will eventually be included in the urbanized area arterial street system as annexations
OCCUr.
Arterial streets are the network of streets which facilitate
the major movement of traffic in the community. It is
estimated that arterial streets make up approximately
25% of the total street mileage, but carry approximately
75% of the total vehicle miles of travel. The design and
function of arterial streets should facilitate the efficient
movement of traffic. This includes not only motor vehicle
traffic, but also an adequate system of sidewalks within
the right-of-way for pedestrians and bicyclists. Cedain
bicyclists prefer to ride on the roadway, and this should
be taken into consideration in the design of arterial
streets. The design of new arterial streets will typically
include:
· The entire street width dedicated to traffic movement. Arterial streets will generally not include on-
street parking.
· Vehicle design speed of 35 mph or greater.
· Design volume of 2,500 to 30,000 vehicles per day.
· Peripheral location on the edges of neighborhoods; buffers and larger setbacks for arterials through
neighborhoods.
· Continuous corridors which terminate at intersections of other arterial streets.
· Separated turning lanes.
· Sidewalks on both sides of the street, including a wide sidewalk on one side.
· Right-of-way of 85 to 100 feet; even greater right-of-way with a median.

This figure shows the relationship between the various functional classifications of streets in a community.
Arterial street design standards should reflect the emphasis on traffic circulation. Horizontal and vertical
geometry of arterial streets should reflect higher speeds and higher traffic volumes. Major transit stops
should have special bays with passenger shelters.

Relationship between traffic
and access functions
Compromises to arterial street design that attempt to restrict traffic flow should be scrutinized carefully, as
they may have the unwanted result of increasing cut-through traffic on local neighborhood streets.
Pedestrian and bicyclist safety on the arterial street system is of great importance, and should be
emphasized by a continuous system of sidewalks with adequate traffic control at intersections to
accommodate crossings by pedestrians and bicyclists.
The evaluation of arterial street adequacy is performed by calculating delay as expressed by Level of
Service, and congestion as expressed by volume/capacity er V/C ratio. These techniques can be used
to evaluate existing traffic conditions, as well as plan future improvements. For example, if analysis shows
that existing or projected V/C on a street is over capacity, then a series of alternatives can be evaluated
for adding capacity to the street er reducing b:affic volume by other means.
Level of Service is expressed in values of A through F. Level of Service A indicates free-flow,
unconstrained traffic conditions. Level of Service F indicates complete congestion. Level of Service D is
the design standard which has been adopted by JCCOG for assessing arterial street adequacy.
The following figure shows the table used to calculate arterial street capacities and determine
volume/capacity ratios for the various links of the arterial street system. The determining factors in street
capacity are the number of lanes and the associated land use and access control along the street.
Access points create side friction and disrupt operation of an arterial street.

Other criteria can be used to evaluate arterial street operation. High crash locations are identified so
that solutions can be evaluated for reducing the accident rate. Pedestrian studies use gap analyses to
determine the appropriate method of traffic control for-dealing with pedestrian movements across arterial
streets.
jccogtp/LongRange/Plan.doc
Although arterial streets are critical to the quality of life in
the community, they are frequently perceived negatively,
especially in older neighborhoods where the arterial
system was designed never envisioning the level of traffic
that is present today. Arterial streets can be noisy,
visually obtrusive, barriers for pedestrians, and safety
hazards for children. Dealing with the negative impacts of
arterial streets in older, established neighborhoods is a
great challenge for any city.
In newly developing areas, arterial streets can be
designed to reduce negative impacts. Arterials can be
located on the periphery of neighborhoods to define boundaries, building setbacks can be increased and
buffering provided, and individual lot access provided through interior streets, not directly on the arterial.
The arterial street planning process must reconcile the
technical analysis of Level of Service and V/C with local
community priorities. It is a relatively straightforward
matter to identify existing and forecasted deficiencies in
the arterial street system, based on the concepts of
delay and V/C. However, these should not be the only
factors considered in the decision-making process
regarding arterial street improvements.
The impact of arterial streets on adjacent neighborhoods
should not be ignored by the decision-making process.
An arterial street corridor may be identified through the
political process as a capacity-restricted link; that is, it
may be determined that widening of a street to
accommodate additional traffic lanes should not occur
although justified by the technical analysis. The arterial street planning process must then evaluate
network improvements within this policy constraint.
The specific design of arterial street improvements will typically be determined at the municipality level if
the improvement is totally within a single municipality. An exception would be a federal-aid project where
the MPO has a role in the funding program; in that case the MPO will also have input. The design of joint
projects is determined with concurrence by all parties involved, in a process which is typically coordinated
by JCCOG.
All users of the street system should be considered when planning arterial street improvements, including
bicyclists and pedestrians. The efficiency of vehicular traffic flow may be compromised somewhat to
ensure the safety of pedestrians and bicyclists. Arterial street planning must forecast to the degree
possible that mode split (the proportions of people driving, walking, taking the bus, etc.) may change over
time. As the arterial street plan is updated, adjustments can be made in the technical analysis to take into
consideration these types of demographic changes.
The arterial street traffic analysis model used by the JCCOG Transportation Planning Division is Quick
Response System-II (QRS-II). QRS-II is a microcomputer-based traffic analysis model which uses the
"four step" modeling process of trip generation, trip distribution, mode split, and traffic assignment. The
model contains a traffic analysis zone network. Within each zone are data representing the characteristics
of the zone, including:
· Number of dwelling units;
· Number of retail employees;
· Number of non-retail employees; and
· Number of autos per dwelling unit.
In order to provide accurate traffic forecasts, the model is calibrated so that it will "predict" existing traffic
volumes. Data inputs are then projected to reflect the short-range (10-year) and long-range (25-year)
traffic forecasts. In each of the forecast scenarios, new arterial streets are added to the network which are
anticipated to be built at that time.
There is a tendency to overstate the accuracy of arterial street traffic analysis models, and this should be
resisted. The trip assignments made by the arterial street modeling system provide a general indication of
how traffic patterns will change as development occurs over time. The model should never be construed
to represent the exact conditions which will occur on individual streets. No modeling procedure, no matter
how sophisticated, can replicate all of the factors which affect the behavior of individual motorists.
The modeling process assumes all drivers will behave logically in selecting the most convenient travel
route, with convenience measured mathematically in terms of travel time. In reality, individual motorists'
perceptions will cause some drivers to select a route other than the shortest path. An additional limitation
of the model is that all trips to or from a particular traffic zone are loaded onto the network from a single
point. In reality, origins and destinations are distributed throughout the zone. Within any traffic analysis
model there are always some portions of the network which are difficult to calibrate accurately. The
generalizations made about traffic forecasts in these areas will have less accuracy than better-calibrated
portions of the network.
In view of these limitations, the arterial street traffic model should only be used as an indication of general
travel patterns, and not exact conditions.
jccogtp/LongRange/Plan doc 23
The arterial street plan contains three scenarios for
the examination of arterial street deficiencies:
existing, short-range (lO-year) forecast, and long-
range (25-year) forecast. The estimates of traffic for
the short-range and long-range forecast scenarios
are determined by modifying the data inputs for the
traffic analysis model to reflect anticipated
development in the community in 10 years and 25
years. The data inputs of number of dwelling units,
number of retail employees, number of non-retail
employees, and number of autos per dwelling unit
are modified so they are consistent with the
comprehensive land use plans for Coralville, Iowa
City, North Liberty, Tiffin, and the University of Iowa.
In this manner population growth in the community as
well as growth in retail and non-retail employment are
reflected in the estimation of future traffic levels.
The input of data for individual traffic analysis zones allows residential, commercial, and industrial growth
to be identified as occurring in specific growth areas of the community. Overall population growth in the
urbanized area is expected to remain modest at approximately 800 to 850 persons per year, An additional
factor is the decrease in average household size, which has been a trend over the past 20 years.
Although this does not increase overall population, it spreads the population out over a larger, more
decentralized area which increases traffic and overall levels of trip making.
In spite of higher-than-average use of public transit, bicycles, and walking in the Iowa City Urbanized
Area, the traffic analysis model reflects the automobile as remaining the predominant form of
transportation in the community. Existing mode splits are reflected in the model forecast scenarios,
Average auto occupancy, which has also been declining over the past 20 years, is assumed to remain at
approximately the existing level of between 1.05 and 1.1,
It is recognized that the preceding assumptions are dynamic and will change gradually over time. It is
important that there be regular updates of the arterial street plan that reflect changes in community
demographics.
jccogtp/L ong Range/Pla n doc 24
Future arterial street extensions which have been adopted by the JCCOG Urbanized Area Policy board
are shown in the following figure. These arterial street extensions are intended to allow for growth in the
community while providing adequate traffic circulation. The "existing" scenario of the arterial street traffic
analysis model reflects the built-street network as it exists in 2002. For example, 2002 has seen the
completion of the reconstruction and widening of Ffirst Avenue and Mormon Trek Boulevard between U.S.
Highway 6 in Coralville and Melrose Avenue in Iowa City. Accordingly, the capacity of that segment of the
arterial street system was increased from 12,000 vehicles per day to 27,900 vehicles per day. This
eliminated the identified deficiency in this link as judged by V/C ratio. The portion of First Avenue in
Coralville north of U.S. Highway 6 is slated to be reconstructed over the next several years. However,
because this has not yet occurred, the model reflects the pre-reconstruction street capacity and identifies
the corridor as deficient with respect to V/C ratio. These street extensions are consistent with the land use
plans of each JCCOG municipality, and the University of Iowa Campus Planning Framework.
The short-range (10-year) forecast scenario reflects arterial street extensions and improvements which
are anticipated in the 10-year period. The cost estimates given for each arterial street improvement
project are rough estimates based on the length of the project and major infrastructure components such
as bridges. More precise cost estimates will be done as a project is designed. The anticipated short range
improvements include:
· Foster Road between Dubuque Street and Prairie du Chien Road; Iowa City, $2.3 million.
· Court Street between existing terminus and Taft Avenue; Iowa City, $500,000.
· South arterial between Gilbert Street and Heinz Road; Iowa City, $6.5 million.
· Mormon Trek Boulevard between Iowa Highway 1 and Iowa Highway 921 (Riverside Dr.); Iowa City,
$7.8 million.
· Taft Avenue between American Legion Road and Lower West Branch Road; Iowa City, $3.5 million.
· Highway 965 between U.S. Highway 6 Coralville and Melrose Avenue in Iowa City, $10 million.
· Sand Road/Gilbert Street between Napolean Lane and Sycamore 'L'; Iowa City, $3.5 million.
· Camp Cardinal Road between Coralville and Iowa City, $6.7 million.
· Sycamore Street, Burns Avenue to south city limits; Iowa City, $2.8 million.
· Oakdale Boulevard between Iowa Highway 965 and future Jones Boulevard; Coralville, $450,000.
· Jones Boulevard between Forevergreen Road and U.S. Highway 6; Coralville, $6 million.
· Oakdale Boulevard between existing terminus and Dubuque Street; Coralville, $3.4 million.
· Jones Boulevard between Penn Street and Forevergreen Road; North Liberty, $6 million.
· Ireland Avenue between Railroad Street and U.S. Highway 6; Tiffin, $1 million.
Similarly, the long-range (25-year) forecast scenario assumes the remaining extensions in the adopted
JCCOG Arterial Street Plan, including:
· Oakdale Boulevard between Dubuque Street and Iowa Highway 1; Iowa City, $12 million.
· South arterial between Heinz Road and Scott Boulevard; Iowa City, $2 million.
· South arterial between Iowa Highway 921 and Gilbert Street; Iowa City, $8 million.
· Sycamore Street between Gilbert Street and U.S. Highway 218 interchange; Iowa City, $10 million.
· Iowa Highway 965 extension between Melrose Avenue and Iowa Highway 1; Iowa City, $10 million.
· Krall Avenue between Scott Boulevard and Highway 1; iowa City, $10 million.
· Kansas Avenue between Forevergreen Road and U.S. Highway 6; Coralville, $5 million.
· Oakdale Boulevard between Jones Boulevard and Jasper Avenue in Tiffin, $10 million.
· Penn Street/North Liberty Road extended, North Liberty, $7 million.
· Jasper Avenue between Hwy 6 in Tiffin and Forevergreen Road in Coralville; $5 million.
· Oakdale Boulevard between Roberts Ferry Road and Jasper Avenue; Tiffin, $6 million.
· interchanges at U.S. Highway 6/I-380 and Forevergreen Road/I-380; (will require Iowa DOT to

The following figures show deficiencies in the arterial
street network under the following scenarios:
· Existing Conditions;
· Short-range (10-Year) Forecast; and
· Long-range (25-Year) Forecast.
Shown in each figure are new arterial streets that are anticipated being constructed in the 10-year and
25-year forecast periods. These arterial street extensions are added to the arterial street traffic analysis
model in the respective scenarios. "Deficiency" is defined according to volume/capacity ratio at Level of
Service D. The arbitrary V/C categories of .8 through .99, 1.0 to 1.2, and greater than 1.2 have been
chosen to represent low, moderate, and high capacity deficiencies in the arterial street network.
Under the existing scenario, the m'ost significant arterial street capacity deficiencies in the current arterial
system are as follows:
· U.S. Highway 6, Rocky Shore Drive to 12~h Avenue, Coralville. This major arterial corridor has
been partially reconstructed with the final segment to be reconstructed in FY03. This corridor will
benefit from future arterial street extensions between Coralville and Iowa City.
· First Avenue, Coralvifle between U.S. Highway 6 and 1-80. It is anticipated that this corridor will be
reconstructed between FY03 and FY08.
· Melrose Avenue between South Grand Avenue and Emerald Street. This corridor has been
partially reconstructed and no further improvement is scheduled.
· Kirkwood Avenue between Gilbert Street and Keokuk Street. This arterial corridor has been
established by the Iowa City City Council as a capacity-constrained link, and is not scheduled for
improvement.
· U.S. Highway 6~Iowa Highway 1 (Riverside Drive) between Myrtle Street and Iowa Highway 921.
This is a strip commercial corridor with many driveway access points. No reconstruction is scheduled.
· U.S. Highway 6 between Riverside Drive and Gilbert Street. No reconstruction is scheduled. This
arterial street segment will benefit from the construction of another river crossing along the south
arterial in Iowa City.
· Iowa Highway I (Dodge Street) between Governor Street and Prairie du Chien Road. This
arterial corridor is scheduled for reconstruction in FY04.

The fO-year short-range forecast scenario reflects
significant growth in the west Coralville area and shows
projected capacity deficiencies on U.S. Highway 6 west of
iowa Highway 965, and on Iowa Highway 965 between
Holiday Road and Forevergreen Road, In Iowa City, a
reduction in traffic on Benton Street is associated with the
extension of Mormon Trek Boulevard between Iowa
Highway 1 and Riverside Drive.
Capacity constraints on Iowa Highway 1 (Dodge Street)
between Scott Boulevard and 1-80, as well as the First
Avenue-Scott Boulevard corridor, reflect development in
north and east Iowa City facilitated by the extension of
First Avenue and Scott Boulevard. Capacity deficiencies on U,S, Highway 6 East and Iowa Highway 1
West reflect additional growth in south Iowa City, but east and west sections of the new south arterial not
yet bain9 connected by a river crossin9.
The final figure shows the 25-year long-range forecast
scenario and the completion of all programmed arterial
street extensions. The long-range forecast scenario
should be used only to provide very general indications of
arterial street capacity deficiencies.

From: Deb Mansfield ~! ? [
Budget Management Analyst
Date: February 13, 2003
Re: Information Available to Public for February 18, 2003 Public Hearing FY2004 Budget
The attached information is available at the City Clerk's Office, Finance Department and Iowa City Library
for the FY2004 Budget Public Hearing scheduled for February 18, 2003.
The proposed property tax rate, Iowa City portion, is $17.59587 for FY2004 compared to $16.81344 in FY
2003, an increase of $0.78243. The levy rate change is within the employee benefits, debt service and tort
levies.
The proposed Employee Benefit levy increase of $34.5 cents is due to health insurance rates
rising and an increase in the police / fire pension rate from 17% of wages to 20.5% of wages in
FY2004.
· The debt service levy increase of approximately 41 cents to finance capital improvement
projects in FY2004.
· The tort levy increase of 2.7 cents is to pay estimated claims from the self insurance fund and
to maintain an adequate reserve balance.
Total FY2004 proposed revenues are $142,029,518. Transfers in, intergovernmental revenues, and
proceeds from debt issuance are the most notable changes compared to FY2003 and FY2002. Changes in
these revenue types are mostly related to capital improvement projects; completion of the sewer and water
plant improvements, issuance of debt for the library expansion and refinancing of the 1993 sewer revenue
bond issue.
FY2004 proposed expenditures and transfers out total $132.6 million compared to $249.5 million in
?Y2003 and $205.1 million in FY2002. Fluctuations are due to capital improvement project activity and
~dditional debt service expense in FY2003 where the 1993 sewer bond issue was refunded, totaling $28.3
~aillion paid to bond holders in July 2002 (FY2003).
Lastly, the June 30 ending fund balance projected for FY2004 is $82,024,266 compared to $72,644,737
~stimated for FY2003 and $127,434,401 actual for FY2002. Included within the $127.4 million FY2002
ending fund balance is bond proceeds totaling $54.4 million due to the timing of receipt of the 2002 G.O.
bond issue and proceeds for refunding of the 1993 sewer revenue bonds. June 30, 2004 ending fund
balance includes approximately $6 million of $7.17 million TI~' bond proceeds scheduled to be issued in
FY2004 for cons~uction of Plaza Tower on parcel 64-1a.
Please contact Kevin O'Malley, Finance Director at 356-5053 or myself at 356-5051 if we can be of
~tssistance.

Subject: Sandusky Drive water retention area
I am requesting some action be taken on the petition I had signed by my neighbors and myself. We have
had flooding problems in the neighborhood due to incorrect sizing of storm sewer pipe. I have talked to
Rick Fosse about the problem and he has taken pictures of the water levels during storms. The street
floods and there has been damage to neighborhood homes. This is a priority to the people in this
neighbohood. Spend some of our tax money to correct this problem. I will not be able to come to the
council meeting as Rick requested, but there will be a representative from our neighborhood. We have
lived with this unsafe situation for years and it is about time it be corrected. Sincerely, David Robertson

CITY OF I0 WA CITY
Honorable Mayor and PARKS & RECREATION
Members of the City Council DEPARTMENT
On behalf of the Parks and Recreation Commission, I am writing this letter to express concern
and disappointment about the elimination of the proposed FY04 and FY05 funding for the
development of Waterworks Park. We all appreciate the fact that you must make difficult
decisions, and we are grateful for your past support. As your appointed commission, one of our
primary responsibilities is to advise you on matters pertaining to Parks and Recreation. In this
capacity, we must express concern with regard to this budget reduction, and reiterate why we
believe it is important to proceed with this project.
Before going into the reasons as to why we feel it is important to initiate this project sooner
rather than later, however, I would like to address the apparent feelings of the majority of
Council members that this project should not be a high priority. As you know, the Commission
puts a considerable amount of effort into prioritizing proposed capital projects; this is not an easy
process. You may not agree with our priorities, and that is certainly your prerogative. To this
point, however, we would say if you are unwilling to fund the Waterworks Park project, then
please consider selecting another project from our lengthy list of viable proposals. Rather than
provide no funding in FY04 (other than the annual "maintenance & improvement projects"), we
would be most willing to begin work on something else to enhance the City's parks and/or trail
system.
It is our understanding that the Council eliminated this project from the CIP budget in part
because the majority of members felt it should not be a high priority, and in part to reduce the
G.O. Bond indebtedness. Relative to the indebtedness issue, we respect the fact that this is your
decision to make, but the Waterworks Park project was only a very small part of the capital
improvement budget, which makes it difficult to understand why this was the only casualty.
The priority issue is another matter, partially addressed above. The following are factors we
considered when arriving at our conclusion that Waterworks Park should be a high priority:
· Until the park is planted with prairie grasses and wildflowers, it will be necessary to mow
somewhere between 100 and 150 acres of rough turf. Our staff estimates that mowing will
need to occur once every two to three weeks, and will consume 16 to 20 person-hours each
mowing. Since we do not have additional staff for this purpose, it will be necessary to either
reduce maintenance in other areas or contract the mowing, for which we have no funding. If
the area is simply ignored (i.e. not mowed), the City will be in violation of its own weed
ordinance, and the area will have a very unattractive appearance.

IOWA CITY IOWA 52240-1632 ~ FAX (319)356-5487
· Prairie takes 3 to 5 years to mature; if this project is delayed 4 years, for example, it will be 7
to 9 years before people see the results and enjoy the benefits.
· Shortly after this property was acquired, the public was told the surrounding area would be
developed into a "natural" park. Planting a rough turf mix and leaving it that way does not
qualify as a natural park. We believe the general public is expecting the City to follow
through with this commitment.
In summary, we ask the Council to restore the funding for this project, at least the amount
requested in FY04. If this amount is restored, we will make the commitment to pursue other
oppommities (grants, volunteer assistance, donations, etc.), if necessary, to complete the project.
If the Council does, in fact, consider this project to be a low priority at this time, and chooses not
to provide funding for it, we ask that you consider funding one or more of our other CIP
proposals.
We would be happy to meet with you about this. Thank you for your time and consideration of
this request.
Sincerely,
Matt Pacha, Chair
Parks and Recreation Commission

Chapter 6B of the Iowa Code requires a governmental body which proposes to acquire
property rights under power of eminent domain for a public improvement project to give
notice of the project to all agricultural property owners whose properties may be affected and
to hold a public hearing.
1. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT.

Creek to Lower West Branch Road.
2. PRIVATE PROPERTY RIGHTS MAY BE ACQUIRED BY NEGOTIATION
OR CONDEMNATION.
If the above-described project is approved by the City Council, the City may need to acquire
property rights for the project improvements. Property rights may include a temporary
construction easement, a permanent easement, and/or a fee simple parcel (complete
ownership). Upon review of the records of the Johnson County Auditor, it appears that
properties or portions of properties owned by the above-identified persons may have to be
acquired for the project by the methods described above. The City will attempt to pumhase
the required property by good faith negotiations. If negotiations are unsuccessful, the City
will condemn those property rights which it determines are necessary for the project. The
proposed location of the above-described public improvement is shown on documentation
which is now on file in the office of the City Clerk and available for public viewing.
3. CITY PROCESS TO DECIDE TO PROCEED WITH THE PROJECT AND TO
ACQUIRE PROPERTY RIGHTS; CITY COUNCIL ACTION REQUIRED TO
FUND PROJECT.
The City has provided funding in its budget for this project, as well as funding to acquire any
property rights that may be needed for the project. City staffhas analyzed the options for how
to proceed with this project and has coordinated project planning with other appropriate
agencies. The planning has reached the point where preliminary designs now indicate that
certain property rights may need to be acquired. Any public comment will be considered in
preparing the final designs, particularly as private property may be affected.
In making the decision to fund the site-specific design for the public improvement, to make
the final selection of the route or site location, or to acquire or condemn property rights, if
necessary, the City Council is required to hold a public hearing, giving persons interested in
2
the proposed project the opportunity to present their views regarding the decision to fund the
site-specific designs for the project, make the final selection of the route or site location, or to
acquire or condemn, if necessary, property or an interest in property for the project. The
public hearing will be held on the 18th day of February, 2003 in the City Council
Chambers, Civic Center, 410 East Washington Street, Iowa City, Iowa, commencing at
7:00 p.m. or, if cancelled, at the next meeting of the City Council thereafter as posted by

make the final selection of the route or site location, or to commence the acquisition or
condemnation of property rights, if necessary, for the above-described project, City Council
will be required to approve the project and authorize acquisition of private property rights for
the project by Council resolution. The City Council is scheduled to consider adoption of a
resolution authorizing acquisition of property rights for the above-described project following
the public hearing.
When an appraisal is required, if the project is approved by the City Council, an appraiser
will determine the compensation to be paid for easements and/or property acquired in fee
simple. The City will offer no less than the appraised value and will attempt to purchase only
the needed property by good faith negotiations. If the City is unable to acquire properties
